From the young man's narration, Mu Jinyu learned that the other party's name was Hua Yunfei!
At the same time, he also learned a lot of information about the Heavenly Palace from Hua Yunfei.
For instance, the Heavenly Palace has only one supreme Palace Master, and below him are the Four Great Divine Envoys, named after the Four Symbols.
Azure Dragon Envoy, Vermilion Bird Envoy, White Tiger Envoy, Xuanwu Envoy...
They each oversee a direction of the Kunlun Ruins, controlling countless experts.
Mu Jinyu also learned many names and powers of these people.
Moreover, there are more secrets that Hua Yunfei either doesn't know about or knows but has a restriction placed on him. If he speaks, he will surely die suddenly.
Therefore, he dared not speak out and only shared these with Mu Jinyu.
After listening, Mu Jinyu tried to see if he could relieve Hua Yunfei's restriction, but after attempting, he found that his current cultivation was too low, and the person who placed the restriction on Hua Yunfei should be at the Unity Realm Stage, and not just any Unity Realm Stage expert, so he dared not act rashly.
"Whew..."
Seeing that Mu Jinyu wasn't heedlessly trying to undo the Soul-Suppressing Ban set by the Heavenly Palace higher-ups, Hua Yunfei immediately let out a long breath of relief.
At first, when he heard Mu Jinyu might try to undo the restriction, he was so scared that his soul nearly fled, ready to refuse instantly, not wanting Mu Jinyu to use his life to test.
Unfortunately, now his life was controlled by Mu Jinyu, how could he refuse?
In the end, he could only nervously let Mu Jinyu inspect him, hoping that his master wouldn't joke around with his life.
Fortunately, Mu Jinyu didn't act recklessly in the end.
But it still scared him quite a bit.
Without caring for Hua Yunfei's startled feelings, after realizing he couldn't uncover more hidden secrets from him, Mu Jinyu wasn't too disappointed; he'd just explore on his own later.
Then, he remembered his major goal of coming to Kunlun Ruins, to restore the bodies of Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan!
So, he asked Hua Yunfei: "Hey, do you know if there's any Forbidden Secret Technique about possession in Kunlun Ruins?"
Mu Jinyu had been in Kunlun Ruins for nearly half a year, learning around in various places, but none of the factions seemed to know about possession.
Hence, he hadn't found a breakthrough, only to pin his hopes on the Hidden Dragon Conference, in the end favored by the Heavenly Palace, rewarded with the desired items!
But he also dared not be sure that the Heavenly Palace definitely possessed the Soul Snatching Secret Technique, or a remedy for it.
So, he decided to first ask Hua Yunfei; if Hua Yunfei didn't know, he would have to consider whether to attend the Hidden Dragon Conference.
Yet regardless of whether the Heavenly Palace knew of the possession secret technique or not, Mu Jinyu believed that Kunlun Ruins surely had such a secret technique; otherwise, Nameless couldn't have just acquired such a technique outside randomly.
"Soul Snatching Secret Technique?"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's inquiry, Hua Yunfei's expression changed, once again asking the question.
Mu Jinyu heard his tone, saw his facial change, and his heart was filled with joy, knowing the other indeed knew about possession.
"Yes, Soul Snatching Secret Technique!" Mu Jinyu suppressed his excitement and nodded.
Hua Yunfei's eyes revealed a hint of dread and fear, saying, "I remember the Heavenly Palace indeed has such a secret technique. At the time in the Heavenly Palace, I encountered a young man who was about my age. We got along well, but after a while, when I saw him again, he didn't acknowledge me at all, emanating a peculiar and aged aura all over him, somewhat resembling an elder whom I had once seen near the end of his days. Then I heard my master calling him some 'sir,' just like the usual name of that elder..."
"So..."
Hua Yunfei stopped here, his eyes showing fear and unease, saying softly:
"I suspect that this elder possessed the young man with excellent aptitude when he was nearing his end!"
"I dare not be too sure how long he has been possessing, or how many bodies he has changed, I only guess his status in Heavenly Palace doesn't lose to the Four Great Divine Envoys!"
Mu Jinyu thought deeply after hearing Hua Yunfei's words and nodded, "Is that so? Well, I roughly understand now..."
Although Mu Jinyu couldn't ascertain how many times that person had possessed from Hua Yunfei's words, the fact that there's indeed possession secret technique in the Heavenly Palace was enough.
Seeing Mu Jinyu exposing a contemplative expression after finishing his words, seemingly considering something, Hua Yunfei's expression tensed up, immediately reminding: "Master, please don't think of targeting that person, his power is very strong, at least Mid Hedao Realm Peak, which is also why I suspect he possessed!"
"Once you offend him and anger the Heavenly Palace, Kunlun Ruins will truly have no place for you!"
Mu Jinyu heard Hua Yunfei's urgent words, came back to his senses, and looked at him with a hint of amusement, saying: "Rest assured, I won't make you an inside man to help me scheme against that person, even if I do intend to make trouble, it won't involve you!"
"Master... I... I didn't mean it that way..."
Listening to Mu Jinyu's slightly playful words, Hua Yunfei's face flushed red all of a sudden, tongue-tied, wanting to explain something.
Mu Jinyu waved his hand slightly and said blandly: "No need to explain, I know exactly what you're thinking..."
"Oh... sorry, Master..." Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Hua Yunfei opened his mouth and then sighed despondently, honestly admitting.
Indeed, after Mu Jinyu's inquiry about the Soul Snatching Secret Technique, Hua Yunfei reacted and thought that Mu Jinyu wanted him to be the inside man in the Heavenly Palace, helping him take down that person.
This truly frightened him, once he really helped Mu Jinyu scheme against the man, things would break out, not only would he die without a burial place!
Even the Hua Family behind him would completely perish!
Hence, he hurriedly reminded Mu Jinyu with urgency.
But he forgot, after Mu Jinyu set the Cursing Technique on him, all his thoughts could be easily discerned by Mu Jinyu, making him feel deeply ashamed.
Mu Jinyu also didn't feel like fussing with Hua Yunfei; this person currently still has some use, letting him have extra help when he enters the Heavenly Palace later.
Thinking for a moment, Mu Jinyu said: "Come over, I'll heal your injuries so when you return to the Heavenly Palace later, nothing suspicious will be detected."
"Ah? Okay..."
Hua Yunfei heard Mu Jinyu's words, hesitated a bit then quickly agreed.
Subsequently, Mu Jinyu fed him a pill and then used Life Source Energy to heal his injuries, restoring his True Yuan.
Very quickly, Hua Yunfei's injuries recovered, from the outside appearance, he looked pretty much the same as when he came.
But both Mu Jinyu and Hua Yunfei knew there were still some differences because the soul injury wasn't healed.
"Alright, that's about it, you can leave now," Mu Jinyu withdrew his hand and spoke lightly.
Hua Yunfei snapped back to reality, looking at Mu Jinyu with surprise and doubt, not expecting his cheap master had just fed him such a miraculous pill, with all his injuries, except for the soul injury, fully recovered.
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu letting him leave, this made him even more ecstatic, not wanting to stay with Mu Jinyu for another second.
Subsequently, Hua Yunfei collected the Golden Bell, said farewell to Mu Jinyu, and left the Demon Slaying City.
Due to their previous fight, all built structures within several hundred meters of the city platform were completely destroyed, the original teleportation array in Demon Slaying City was gone, he had to borrow a route from another city to return to the Heavenly Palace.
