Saixifa's current method was not the "Soul Stripping Technique" Ye Ming had used before, but a second-tier immortal technique called "Illusion Induction." Through this immortal art, the caster could plant a "seed" in the enemy's mind, luring them to unknowingly present their past experiences in the form of illusions to the caster, thus achieving the effect of prying into the enemy's memories. Although this immortal art could not compare to the "Soul Stripping Technique," it was easier to master and had fewer stringent requirements. In contrast, most high-tier immortal arts like the "Soul Stripping Technique" had a prerequisite: entering the Primordial Origin. Only by mastering the Primordial Origin Force would one be qualified to cultivate such high-tier immortal arts.
Three minutes later, Saixifa had seen through all the illusions induced from the two individuals. "Useless things!" With a casual wave, he flung them aside. It seemed Saixifa had not obtained the information he desired from them. All that remained was Bai Xiaochuan. "Come here!" Saixifa clenched his right hand, and a dark energy directly entwined Bai Xiaochuan, pulling him over.
"Spare my life! I'll talk, I'll tell you everything!" Seeing the strange black aura on Saixifa's hand, Bai Xiaochuan pleaded for mercy. Although he didn't know what that energy was, it didn't prevent him from feeling fear. "Alright! Tell me, do you know the ghost-faced man from before?" Saixifa asked coldly, looking into Bai Xiaochuan's eyes. If Bai Xiaochuan dared to lie, he wouldn't mind employing some cruel methods. As Shadow Guards, they had no shortage of interrogation techniques.
"I... I haven't seen him, really." Bai Xiaochuan quickly shook his head, "Really... really, I'm not lying to you." He was indeed not lying about this. "If you can't provide any useful information, then I'll have to crack open your head and search carefully." Saixifa clearly didn't want to question him step-by-step, so he simply prompted Bai Xiaochuan to confess willingly. As the dark energy drew closer, Bai Xiaochuan's mind raced, trying to recall any useful information.
"Yes... I've got it!" After a moment, Bai Xiaochuan suddenly thought of something and said, "Before I came, the eldest young master told me to bring Miss Fang back no matter what happened. And... and..." At this point, Bai Xiaochuan glanced nervously at Fang Junxue, then forced himself to continue, "And the eldest young master also said that after receiving Miss Fang, I should not inform the old madam and deliver her directly to him!" Bai Xiaochuan took a deep breath and revealed his guess: "The eldest young master seems to want to give Miss Fang to someone."
Giving Fang Junxue away! Upon hearing this, Saixifa's expression changed drastically, and his eyes held unconcealed rage. "Such audacious gall!" With a bang! He shook his hand, and Bai Xiaochuan was sent flying by a powerful force. *Puff!* The fierce impact caused Bai Xiaochuan's bones to break in at least five or six places. His mouth was already full of blood. "Lord... My lord, spare me!" Bai Xiaochuan propped himself up with difficulty and said on his knees, "This was all the eldest young master's idea, it has nothing to do with me!"
Eldest young master! The title was not unfamiliar to Fang Junxue either. Although she rarely appeared in the Bai family, she had long heard of this eldest young master's reputation and had even crossed paths with him. Of course, the "crossing paths" here referred to the commercial arena. It was precisely because of that encounter that Fang Junxue emerged victorious, earning her the position of President of Qingyun Group. The so-called eldest young master was actually the eldest son of the Bai family, but he preferred to be addressed as "eldest young master." His name was Bai Fenglang, the leader of the younger generation in the Bai family. Before Fang Junxue appeared, he had never lost in business. Fang Junxue's appearance not only cost him the presidency of Qingyun Group but also caused his prestige to decline. Therefore, could the current predicament Fang Junxue faced be his revenge?
"It seems the root of all this lies with the eldest young master," Fang Junxue mused for a moment, her thoughts clearing. "My main consort, I request permission to capture that eldest young master and bring him to you to apologize!" Saixifa's expression shifted upon hearing this, and he immediately made a decision. This was undoubtedly an opportunity for him to atone for his mistakes.
Fang Junxue did not rush to answer, but instead asked Bai Xiaochuan, "If I'm not mistaken, he was also involved in those matters back then, wasn't he!" Those matters back then! From the current perspective, Fang Junxue had likely entered the eldest young master's view a long time ago. One must remember that Fang Junxue was not only known as the "Business Queen" in Minghai City but also renowned throughout the entire province. Coupled with her mother's special identity, it was not surprising that the eldest young master noticed her. Therefore, if the eldest young master had indeed been involved in those matters back then, Fang Junxue would not be surprised. As for whether he was a participant or the mastermind, she could not yet ascertain.
"This... I don't know." Bai Xiaochuan said tremblingly, lowering his head. "But I know that the eldest young master had indeed noticed you a long time ago." If this was the case, Fang Junxue's guess was likely true. After a moment of silence, Fang Junxue sighed and looked at Bai Xiaochuan again, "Give him a message. In one month, I will personally return to the Bai family. At that time, new and old scores will be settled together." Ultimately, Fang Junxue chose to confront the matter directly.
"Alright! I will surely deliver it!" Bai Xiaochuan was also relieved upon hearing this. At the very least, his life was saved. "My main consort, a mere Bai family is not worth your concern, I..." Before Saixifa could finish speaking, Fang Junxue waved her hand and said calmly, "I know what you want to say. But that matter is a mental demon for me. If I cannot cut it off with my own hands, I will find it difficult to achieve immortal ascension." If I cannot achieve immortal ascension, how can I walk alongside you? At this moment, a figure appeared in Fang Junxue's mind.
"It was my impoliteness!" Fang Junxue waved her hand: "You may leave!" In the end, she did not make things difficult for Bai Xiaochuan and the others. After all, these people were merely pawns in the hands of that eldest young master. Leaving them would not provide Fang Junxue with any further assistance. "Thank you, Miss Fang! Thank you, Miss Fang!" Bai Xiaochuan quickly expressed his gratitude and, without the slightest hesitation, hurried away from the Fang residence with his people.
No sooner had they left than another person stepped into the Fang family courtyard. No! To be precise, it should be a man dragging someone into the courtyard. And the man being dragged was none other than: Fang Tingsheng.
