At this moment, the Ge brothers had long lost the high spirits of Heaven-rank experts. When they saw Shen Lang, they were completely stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Shen Lang slowly spoke, "Ge Yun, Ge Yu, right?"
His seemingly calm tone would only make an ordinary person think that Shen Lang is a refined and easy-going person.
However, in front of the members of the Otherworldly Soul Sect who specialize in cultivating the soul, it was like a thunderbolt from the heavens, completely stunning their souls.
At this moment, the expressions of the two had changed from blank to horrified.
Yes, terrifying.
As core members of the Otherworldly Soul Sect, they had the privilege of hearing the voice left behind by the sect's ancestor two thousand years ago, and they were awestruck at the time.
But compared to the man in front of him, that voice was like a small bird compared to an eagle.
"You...who are you?"
As the elder brother, Ge Yun was the first to react. He knelt on the ground, looked at Shen Lang, and asked very respectfully.
Shen Lang said, "I am the Shen Lang you want to see."
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, the two of them instantly collapsed to the ground, completely powerless to support themselves.
According to information from within the sect, Shen Lang is merely an ordinary person with extraordinary abilities in the secular world, which is why they dared to be so brazenly shouting at the entrance of Baiyun Manor. Even when they were bound at the entrance of Baiyun Manor by Chuncao, they only assumed that the other party's methods were special.
But when he met Shen Lang and saw just a glimpse of his true nature, a sense of despair arose spontaneously.
For those who specialize in cultivating the soul, their perception far surpasses that of ancient martial artists of the same level, and they are also able to sense danger. This is the main reason why the Otherworldly Soul Sect has survived to this day; otherwise, the Otherworldly Soul Sect would have been wiped out long ago.
It was precisely because of this extraordinary perception that they knew that the person in front of them was not only someone to be provoked, but also someone to be defied.
“Ge Yun and Ge Yu of the Otherworldly Soul Sect pay their respects to Young Master Shen.”
The two, realizing what was happening, immediately prostrated themselves on the ground and bowed deeply to Shen Lang.
Looking at the two men who were like rag dolls, Shen Lang said lightly, "Ge Yun, Ge Yu, you two have trespassed into my White Cloud Manor. Does the Otherworldly Soul Sect think that I, Shen, am easy to bully?"
Upon hearing this, the two brothers immediately began to kowtow repeatedly, as if pounding garlic. Ge Yun, the elder brother, said in a trembling voice, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Young Master Shen! We two are only here to pay our respects to Young Master Shen on the orders of our sect. We have absolutely no intention of offending you. Please, Young Master Shen, understand!"
The difference between cultivating immortality and practicing martial arts was revealed at this moment. Although Shen Lang did not use his power, the majestic heavenly might in his voice made the two Heavenly Realm experts tremble.
It wasn't a suppression of divine sense, but simply a suppression of sound.
Seeing this, Shen Lang shook his head in disappointment. He had thought that the two, who came from a secluded sect, might have some backbone, but he did not expect them to be so spineless.
"Fine, I can give you two a chance to live, but you'll have to pay a price to live."
“Young Master Shen, please give your orders. Even if it means going through fire and water, my brother and I will do it without hesitation,” Ge Yun replied decisively.
“It’s simple, hand over your memories,” Shen Lang said.
For Shen Lang now, his martial prowess is already close to the ceiling of this world. The reason he spared the lives of these two is to investigate information about this Otherworldly Soul Sect.
He had a hunch that this Otherworldly Soul Sect was very likely related to the troublemakers in Luo Fei's memories.
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, the brothers Ge Yun and Ge Yu exclaimed in shock, "What?!"
Memory is one of the most important things a person can have, and those who cultivate their souls have a deeper understanding of memory than ordinary people.
Once a person loses their memory, it means that the past has been erased.
What they found most deadly was that, in the minds of the Otherworldly Soul Sect members, searching memories was a deadliest attack on the soul, a method that even the Otherworldly Soul Sect, which focused on cultivating the soul, did not possess.
Looking at the two shocked people, Shen Lang shook his head impatiently and said, "Don't worry, it won't kill you."
Immediately, a sheepskin scroll imbued with Taoist charm appeared before the two of them.
Although Shen Lang could have Zhao Wuji directly perform soul searches on them, he didn't really like this method.
The two looked at the ancient scroll, their feelings were very complicated.
Acceptance means that she will have no secrets from Shen Lang.
Refusal means death.
At this moment, they would not doubt Shen Lang's methods, because they knew they had no right to doubt them.
"We...are willing...to obey Young Master Shen's orders."
Although Shen Lang could use the secret technique given to him by Zhao Wuji to forcibly extract the memories of these two people, this method is a form of forced plunder and is against the natural order.
After signing the contract, Shen Lang successfully obtained the memories of the two men and learned the core secrets of the Otherworldly Soul Sect.
More than two thousand years ago, during the Western Han Dynasty, a wandering figure known as the Strange Soul Man suddenly appeared. At that time, the world was in chaos and war was raging.
That alien mixed into the army and gradually began to stand out with the help of a book called "The Alien Soul Technique". He soon rose to the position of general and became a commander of a thousand men.
Strangely, in the places where the alien spirits passed through, very few newborns were born in the following five to ten years.
The imperial court quickly realized the strangeness of the situation, and the authorities immediately dispatched a renowned scholar to investigate the cause in the barren land.
However, the Confucian school had no clue about this.
Thus, an important figure makes his appearance.
This refers to Zhang Daoling, a Taoist priest surnamed Zhang who was later known as the founder of Taoism.
At that time, Zhang Daoling was just a disciple of Taoism, but due to his intelligence, he found a shortcut in Taoist knowledge and created Taoist methods.
After Zhang Daoling's investigation, the authorities finally realized that the reason why no newborns were born in the barren land was because the souls of the people there had been taken away by strange means.
A country that does not have newborns is destined for destruction.
Those in power have also realized the seriousness of this incident.
Therefore, Zhang Daoling was entrusted with an important task: to conduct an in-depth investigation and resolve the matter.
It was because of this incident that the Western Han dynasty, which had suppressed all other schools of thought and exclusively promoted Confucianism, began to open a window for Taoism.
Zhang Daoling also took the opportunity to establish the "Five Pecks of Rice Sect," which later became Taoism.
Things soon took a turn for the better, and the alien and his thousand-strong army were also discovered.
When Zhang Daoling found the alien soul, the alien soul did not resist but surrendered without resistance, as if he had long anticipated this day.
Zhang Daoling also took the opportunity to bring the strange souls back to the imperial court.
When faced with questioning from those in power, the alien soul did not panic. Instead, he revealed everything about the "Alien Soul Manual".
He originally thought he could use this strange cultivation technique to make those in power collude with him, because no one in this world doesn't want to live forever.
However, he underestimated the mind of those in power.
The authorities were not swayed by the sweet talk of the Otherworlders. Instead, they demanded that Zhang Daoling immediately execute the Otherworlders and destroy all information related to the "Otherworldly Soul Technique".
Unfortunately, the alien was prepared, and just as Zhang Daoling was about to make his move, the alien escaped.
Along with the aliens, the thousand-strong army also disappeared.
From then on, a new sect called the "Strange Soul Sect" appeared in the martial arts world.
The feud between Taoism and the Yihun Sect officially began at this moment and has continued for more than two thousand years to this day.
