298: Powerful imperial bloodline!

Zhang Zhengchu heard Mu Siyuan's words and, disregarding his slightly injured body, began to rack his brain, thinking about the things Lei Hui had done.

He cursed while he recalled!

In his heart, he had already cursed Lei Hui thousands of times!

What a useless piece of trash. It was one thing for him to go out and cause trouble, but to provoke such a powerful existence and implicate him as well!

"Sen... Senior! Is it about that trash's philandering? Senior, please understand, although I am the City Lord, matters between men and women have always been consensual. I never like to force anyone."

"I am devoted to Cultivation; the last time something like this happened was over a year ago!"

"Is it only this?"

"This... Senior, please calm your anger. Allow me to think again!"

Zhang Zhengchu's brain was almost short-circuiting. What on earth could it be?

Suddenly, he remembered. This morning, Lei Hui had contacted him, saying he had discovered a treasure land for Cultivation and wanted him to transfer the ownership of the most luxurious residence in the city to him.

Could it be this matter? That shouldn't be right...

Although his lackey Lei Hui was arrogant and domineering, he shouldn't do anything truly heinous, right? Could it be that he had misjudged his character?

After a while, seeing Mu Siyuan frown, it was clear he was becoming impatient.

Zhang Zhengchu hurriedly begged for mercy:

"Senior, I truly do not know. Could you please tell me? I will definitely make him correct it!"

"Correct it? He no longer has the chance."

Mu Siyuan said indifferently.

"Wh... What? Lei Hui is dead?"

"He deserved to die!"

"Forget it, I cannot be bothered to talk so much with you. Open your mind and let me perform a Soul Search. If you are unrelated to this matter, you may be spared!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengchu's heart instantly turned cold, and his face began to turn pale.

"Soul... Soul Search?!"

Soul Search was a forbidden technique! Even if the person before him was stronger, the gap should be limited. How could he possibly know it?!

Moreover, according to some ancient texts, Soul Search had aftereffects. If things went wrong, his path of Cultivation might end right there!

He could not accept it. Someone had suddenly appeared, killed his sworn brother, and now wanted to perform a Soul Search!

"Damn it, this is bullying!"

Zhang Zhengchu roared internally, directly using his most powerful Magic Treasure and activating a secret technique. His entire cultivation surged, reaching the Void Realm!

He even faintly touched the Peak of the ninth layer!

"I gave you a chance, but you are useless!"

Mu Siyuan's expression remained unchanged as he activated the Nine Heavens Profound Technique and channeled a trace of the Nether Emperor Bloodline within his body!

Once this trace of Bloodline emerged, Mu Siyuan's body felt as if it were boiling. His entire cultivation surged, and his Aura rose steadily!

He actually reached the half-step Yang Solid Realm from the Nascent Void Sixth Layer!

And this was only by channeling a trace of his Bloodline. If it were all unleashed, he could probably break through to the Yang Solid Realm.

This was the terror of the Emperor Bloodline. A trace of extremely thin Bloodline could help one fight across a major Realm!

It was unimaginable what kind of terrifying existence a true Emperor was!

Feeling the suffocating Aura emanating from Mu Siyuan's body, the Aura that Zhang Zhengchu had just unleashed instantly withered.

Almost subconsciously, Zhang Zhengchu gave up the thought of fighting head-on, and the escape Magic Treasure he had been holding in his hand was immediately activated.

A distortion began to appear around his body, and the Aura of the Origin of space radiated from it. Zhang Zhengchu's figure became increasingly illusory within the Origin of space.

Obviously, this was a teleportation-type Magic Treasure, and it looked like Zhang Zhengchu would successfully teleport away soon.

"The Origin of space? Interesting."

Mu Siyuan whispered, but to Zhang Zhengchu's ears, it sounded like a whisper from a demon in Hell.

He took a step with his right foot, and an extremely vast Aura suppressed Zhang Zhengchu's head, forcibly interrupting the teleportation around him.

The faint Origin of space permeating above also vanished without a trace in an instant.

"Bang!"

Without the protection of the Origin, Zhang Zhengchu's body could not withstand Mu Siyuan's pressure, and he collapsed onto the ground, smashing a human-shaped crater into the floor.

"Do not resist, otherwise I cannot guarantee that I won't cause you any aftereffects."

Mu Siyuan walked to the front of Zhang Zhengchu and said calmly.

"I will only check the parts related to this matter; I have no interest in other things. Open your mind; you have no choice!"

Blood trickled from the corner of Zhang Zhengchu's mouth. He widened his eyes and clenched his fists. This was a humiliation to him!

But there was no other way. He could not resist. He could only believe the words of the person before him, otherwise, he would surely die today.

Zhang Zhengchu took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. A look of helplessness appeared in his eyes, and then he calmed down.

After adjusting his state, Zhang Zhengchu said:

"Come on."

Mu Siyuan did not stand on ceremony. He placed his right hand directly on top of Zhang Zhengchu's head and operated the Soul Search secret technique from his past life, starting to view his memories from the past two days.

As a Prodigy from the Upper Realm, the Soul Search Cultivation Technique Mu Siyuan mastered was far superior to that of the Nether Immortal. Simply viewing recent memories had almost no side effects.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the other party could not resist. Once they resisted, it would not be so simple.

A moment later, Mu Siyuan removed his hand from Zhang Zhengchu's head.

Zhang Zhengchu shook his head, somewhat suspicious:

"It's over already? Why isn't it as serious as the ancient texts described? It seems like nothing happened?"

Mu Siyuan had obtained the answer he wanted.

Lei Hui had indeed spoken to him about this matter in the morning, but he had been evasive and vague.

Forget it, he couldn't be bothered to worry about this matter. He would let his master handle it when he returned.

This was why his master had previously told him not to bully others with power, otherwise, he would have slapped the City Lord's mansion into smithereens from the outside.

Why go through so much trouble!

Mu Siyuan looked at Zhang Zhengchu:

"You come with me. We will decide what to do when my master returns."

Without waiting for Zhang Zhengchu to agree, he picked him up and flashed back to his residence.

After returning to the residence, before Zhang Zhengchu could react, Mu Siyuan sealed his cultivation with a Seal technique.

"You stay here for now. Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the courtyard by even half a step. Otherwise, death!"

"Little Cherry, keep an eye on him."

After speaking, Mu Siyuan returned to the Hunyuan Pagoda.
