It seemed that there was no other way. He could only resort to the last resort.
Qin Xiao directly used the Soul Searching Technique. Although Qin Xiao was not good at Soul Searching, his strength was still there.
Even if he was not good at it, the power of the Soul Searching Technique was still very strong.
Patriarch Jiang immediately understood Qin Xiao's intention. He wanted to resist with all his strength, but there was no way to resist.
In the face of Qin Xiao's powerful strength, he had no way to break free. He could only desperately resist.
Searching a person's soul was a very difficult and dangerous thing.
Not only was the person being searched in danger, but the person performing the search was also very dangerous. It was very likely that he would suffer a backlash.
Once there was a little carelessness, it was very likely that he would be consigned to eternal damnation.
Especially at this time, Patriarch Jiang was still fiercely resisting, which was even more dangerous.
At this time, there was no other better way. Qin Xiao could only use this method.
Even if it was a little dangerous, he must search Patriarch Jiang's memory carefully.
In Patriarch Jiang's memory, Qin Xiao quickly found some vague images and useful information.
Those images were too vague, and they were just flashes. The rest was all wiped out, leaving only a little bit.
It was difficult to determine the specific situation from this little bit of residual images.
There was a figure with a very strong aura. It should be an extremely powerful existence in the fourth step of the Ancient Sage Realm, or even a stronger existence.
In the blurry image, there was a figure flashing by.
"Huh? How is it possible? "
The blurry figure flashing by gave Qin Xiao a sense of familiarity, which really shocked Qin Xiao.
He observed it several times. After confirming it several times, he finally had to be sure that he was not mistaken.
That figure was indeed a familiar person.
But how could this be?
How could this figure appear in Patriarch Jiang's memory?
After Qin Xiao searched Patriarch Jiang's memory, his soul collapsed and he died. He couldn't be more dead.
Seeing the change in Qin Xiao's expression, Brother Pure could not help asking, "What's wrong, brother? What's the matter?"
Qin Xiao looked at Brother Pure, hesitated for a moment, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, I just saw the figure of an old friend in Patriarch Jiang's memory."
"If that's really the case, it means that my old friend is also involved in the ranks of the Soul Devourers."
"We met at the Eight Regions Alliance. We hit it off at first sight, and I also regarded him as a brother."
"But …"
"Alas, I didn't expect such a thing to happen...
Huh?
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, Brother Pure..........................................
......................................
"Even Patriarch Jiang is capable of doing such a thing."
"So, your friend might not have done it willingly."
"The Soul Devourers have spread throughout the Sword Cultivation Saint Region. There must be many victims."
Qin Xiao nodded. He thought so too, and that was the only thing he could think of for the time being.
However, Qin Xiao trusted Lang Jinghong's character. He would not do such an evil thing.
Moreover, Lang Jinghong was also a member of the Righteous Alliance. He had passed the test of the Righteous Alliance, so he should be trustworthy in all aspects.
Perhaps Lang Jinghong had only been ambushed in the process of investigating the Soul Devourers.
But no matter what, this situation still worried Qin Xiao.
After all, Lang Jinghong was not a fourth-step Celestial Venerable like Patriarch Jiang. With Lang Jinghong's talent and potential, he should have reached the second-step Ancient Saint Realm, even if his improvement had been slow over the years.
A Second Step Empyrean Saint Realm Soul Devourer was extremely difficult to deal with.
It was probably impossible to get rid of the strange devouring power in his body.
This problem also worried Qin Xiao and gave him a headache.
He did not wish to see anything happen to Lang Jinghong. If he could not be saved in the end, then he would have to make a cruel choice.
Qin Xiao did not want to think about this choice.
"Patriarch Jiang is dead now. Your friend is the only clue now," Brother Pure said.
Qin Xiao nodded. Yes, Lang Jinghong was the only clue now.
So, no matter what, he had to find out the truth.
But the problem now was how to find Lang Jinghong?
After thinking about it, Qin Xiao decided to tell Fu Yunni about the situation first and ask her to contact the members of the Sword Cultivation Saint Region's Righteous Alliance.
Lang Jinghong was a member of the Righteous Alliance after all. A second-level member of the Sword Cultivation Saint Region's Righteous Alliance should have a way to find him.
At the same time, Qin Xiao also sent a voice transmission to Lang Jinghong, but he did not get any reply in the end.
Qin Xiao probably would not get any reply either.
Now that there was no other way, they could only start with Patriarch Jiang.
Patriarch Jiang should have become a Soul Devourer recently. Now, they could only start with the stupidest method, which was to find out where Patriarch Jiang went more than a hundred years ago to become a Soul Devourer.
To find out this point, they directly used Time Reversal. Although it would take a lot of time and effort to find out, there was no better way.
As expected, Qin Xiao used Time Reversal to find out that Patriarch Jiang left Lanxi City more than two hundred years ago. When he returned to Lanxi City more than a hundred years later, he had already become a Soul Devourer.
So, he must have been targeted by a Soul Devourer during this period of time, which was why he became a Soul Devourer.
Following this line, Qin Xiao and Lu Li continued their investigation until they reached a place called Heavenly Washing City. It was only then that the space-time was destroyed, and there was no way to continue their investigation.
"The trail is broken here. Obviously, there was a force that deliberately erased this part of time and space."
"And Patriarch Jiang stayed here for nearly a hundred years before leaving. After leaving, he became a Soul Devourer."
"So, Patriarch Jiang must have become a Soul Devourer in Tianxi City."
"And according to what we know, Patriarch Jiang came to Tianxi City because he was invited by his old friend, Patriarch Ding, to attend the wedding banquet."
"Our first clue is the Ding Family's Patriarch in Tianxi City."
"Let's check out the situation in Tianxi City first."
Qin Xiao said to Brother Pure. So, the two of them immediately checked out the situation in Tianxi City.
Tianxi City was much more powerful than Lanxi City, and the family forces were much more complicated.
And this Ding family was one of the family forces.
Qin Xiao found a very interesting situation. Originally, Ding family's status in Sword-Washing City was relatively low a thousand years ago. But in this short thousand years, Ding family's status in Sword-Washing City was actually second to none.
This speed of development was simply unimaginable.
Such a situation was also worth pondering.
"Brother, it seems that there's definitely something wrong with Ding family."
"To be able to develop so much in a short thousand years, there must be an extremely powerful force supporting Ding family from behind. Otherwise, it's completely impossible."
"So, it seems that the rumor of Patriarch Jiang being a Soul Devourer should have come from Ding family."
"But Ding family is just an insignificant small family force. It must be just a chess piece."
"Ding family must have layers of backings if they go further up."
Brother Pure analyzed.
Qin Xiao nodded and said, "That's right. The Ding Clan definitely has many layers of support."
"Now that we don't have any good clues, we can only dig up layers by layers."
"If we climb up from Ding family step by step, we can still find out who the backings are."
"Now, we're also waiting for news from Senior Sister Fu about Lang Jinghong. With Lang Jinghong's strength, his level should be relatively high. "
"Now, let's start with this small fish."
…
Heavenly Sword Tower, the most high-end restaurant in Tianxi City, was Ding family's property.
Following Ding family's expansion and development, Heavenly Sword Tower soared all the way and directly became the most high-end restaurant in Tianxi City. It was a symbol of identity and status.
Ordinary people were already not qualified to enter Heavenly Sword Tower.
The threshold to enter Heavenly Sword Tower was extremely high.
The top floor of Heavenly Sword Tower was the most prominent place.
If one was not a distinguished guest of Heavenly Sword Tower and wanted to drink and dine in the private rooms here to enjoy themselves, the lowest starting price was 100,000 Chaos Source Stones per person.
Such a price was already not something that ordinary fourth-step Heavenly Venerables could enjoy.
Qin Xiao and Brother Pure asked for a private room. In the private room opposite them sat four men who looked like young masters. All of them were fourth-step Heavenly Venerables.
The four men who looked like young masters were chatting and laughing. Sitting in the main seat was a blue-clothed man. He was the son of Ding family's patriarch and also the target of Qin Xiao and Brother Pure.
This matter could not be easily alerted, so Qin Xiao and Brother Pure wanted to start with other members of Ding family to see if they could obtain some useful information.
The son of Ding family's patriarch was obviously a very good target.
Young Master Ding naturally noticed the two strangers sitting in the private room on the top floor very quickly.
Young Master Ding said to the other three, "Do you know these two people?"
The three of them looked at Qin Xiao and Brother Pure and shook their heads.
One of the white-clothed men said, "It seems that their auras are powerful. Their strength should be quite good."
"Their auras are also very strong. They should be people with some background."
"They're not from Tianxi City. I don't know where they're from. It seems that they're young masters who are traveling outside. "
The corners of Young Master Ding's mouth curled up into a faint smile. Suddenly, he threw out the wine cup in his hand.
The wine cup suddenly turned into a sharp sword, whistling and rushing toward Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao naturally knew that Young Master Ding was just testing his strength.
Qin Xiao casually waved his hand and swatted the wine cup back. The wine cup was only halfway through the air when it was swatted back by Qin Xiao.
After it was slapped back, it became even sharper and fiercer, rushing toward Young Master Ding at an extremely fast speed.
Such a situation made Young Master Ding frown involuntarily. The way he looked at Qin Xiao became deep and solemn.
Clatter!
Young Master Ding drew his sword and swung it down. Only then did he cut the wine cup in half and it fell to the ground.
If he were to use his hands, he felt that he would not be able to easily block the wine cup.
Such a situation made him feel surprised. His opponent's strength was very strong. He should be stronger than him.
Moreover, his opponent might be much stronger than him.
Such powerful strength, such a powerful aura, just what kind of divine being was this?
Young Master Ding stood up and walked toward Qin Xiao and Brother Pure.
Seeing Young Master Ding coming, Qin Xiao and Brother Pure looked at each other. Everything was as they had expected.
