Wu Qi meant well; after all, Ji Mofan was a righteous cultivator, and it wouldn't be good for him to have too much blood on his hands.
But Ji Mofan suddenly calmed down, and his terrifying aura also subsided, as if he wasn't the one who was so angry a second ago that he seemed to want to tear the other person to pieces.
Ji Mofan glanced at the middle-aged man lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and unconscious, then turned around and went back to his original chair.
“His memories are still useful, but now that he’s dead, there’s no one to testify.” Ji Mofan picked up the now-cold tea and took a sip.
Wu Qi neither confirmed nor denied this.
He realized that Ji Mofan had never intended to kill this middle-aged man from the very beginning.
While that anger wasn't entirely acted out, it certainly had an element of intimidation.
The Soul Searching Technique works best when the other party is strongly shaken. If the other party is on guard, they may hide the memory they need in their subconscious, making it inconvenient to search for it.
As for his claim that he wanted this middle-aged man to be a witness, that was utter nonsense.
Since the Soul Searching Technique has already been used, we can simply extract the soul containing this memory directly. It doesn't matter whether the person is dead or alive. As long as this wisp of soul is contained, the Soul Searching Technique can be used again at any time.
As for whether this person can die cleanly, or whether their soul will be scattered...
That's the problem that the underworld's ghost messengers who recruit people need to consider.
However, Jimo Fan ultimately did not do so.
Ji Mo Fan was still the same Ji Mo Fan. Even when anger overwhelmed him, he did not let his emotions cloud his judgment and cause unnecessary killing.
If you hand someone over to the cultivation world, someone will take care of the knife for him.
To put it nicely, he's a law-abiding citizen; to put it bluntly...
Wu Qi glanced at Ji Mo Fan again.
Forget it, I won't say anything unpleasant. What nice things can demonic cultivators say to the righteous path?
Casting a soul-searching spell takes a lot of energy from the caster, as it involves a power struggle between two souls.
Although Ji Mofan could suppress his opponent in terms of strength, his soul was younger than his opponent's, and it wasn't the original one that was placed with his body, but rather something that Lu Tong had created using some secret method.
Who knows how much pain they're in right now.
Ji Mo Fan's complexion was indeed not very good.
But it's not as fragile as Wu Qi guessed.
His soul was indeed not stable enough. Not only was it because too much time had passed since it was created, but even Lu Tong could not guarantee that its quality would remain the same after so long without maintenance.
In addition to the fact that Wu Qi had tampered with his body and that he was a reborn soul, he was practically a balloon at that time. If you poked his soul, it would almost leak out of his body.
But who told him to accidentally eat a Azure Phoenix Demon Core right after his rebirth?
My mind is now extremely stable.
It's just pure exhaustion, plus I'm pretending not to want to work.
Qi Fengyu used this excuse to shirk his work every day, and now Ji Mofan has learned it too.
He sat down at the table, and how to deal with this middle-aged man surnamed Hui was up to Wu Qi.
Ji Mo Fan lowered his head and wrote down all the past memories he had seen in his soul. After he finished writing, he had to use magic to make a copy.
One copy remained with Wu Qi, while he planned to send the other to Pingnan Pass using a teleportation talisman.
Just as they had guessed, these people, in order to refine a large number of Blood Infant Gu for use on demonic soldiers, secretly or openly stole or bought a large number of healthy babies in the cultivation world.
Yes, and only healthy babies with strong vitality can be used to refine the Blood Infant Gu, because only in this way will the resentment of the dead child be the strongest.
Dozens of orphanages were secretly involved in this business. They didn't care about keeping sick or disabled children; if they couldn't find adoptive parents, they could simply use them as living advertisements for the orphanages to attract donations and more abandoned children.
When it becomes inconvenient to continue raising them, we can just let them "die naturally."
The entire transaction lasted for nearly ten years, and no fewer than a thousand children died at their hands.
It's not just buying and selling that's so hateful; the main problem is that they actively steal children from ordinary families.
Ironically, these children are better material than abandoned babies from orphanages, because they have lost more happiness and their resentment after death is more intense.
Wu Qi was sitting to the side handling his own affairs, planning to wait until Ji Mofan finished writing before throwing the man on the ground, who was like a dead dog, to where he belonged.
As a result, Ji Mofan, who was writing, suddenly put down his pen, abandoned the confession that was clearly half-written, got up and walked over, and stomped hard on the face of the man on the ground.
Feeling it wasn't enough after stomping on it, he kicked it several more times.
Wu Qi: ......
He quickly called people in and took the criminal, who was already half-dead and now barely clinging to life, away.
Why are you so angry? You were perfectly calm when you used the Soul Searching Technique, so why are you getting angry with yourself after sitting for a while?
However, once Wu Qi obtained the confession written by Ji Mofan, he understood why Ji Mofan had suddenly beaten up the middle-aged man.
Wu Qi was calmer than him, but not by much. During the final signing ceremony, he told his demon soldiers not to bring the person back; he didn't want to see him, just bring his hand.
By this time, dawn had already broken.
As Ji Mofan returned the petition, he also received a communication talisman from Li Jinchu.
Ji Mofan has already informed the good people to arrange what he wants to do. As long as today passes, rumors will spread like wildfire.
