"Father, why do you want to investigate the Soul-Locking Needle?"
"Are you going to investigate or not? If not, I'll have Luo'er investigate." Feng Cang glared at him and said.
"Investigate, investigate, investigate! I didn't say I wouldn't investigate. It's just a Soul-Locking Needle... Wait, a Soul-Locking Needle! A Thousand Thoughts Thread!"
Feng Jun immediately understood what was happening; it was someone close to his second brother who had been hit by the Soul-Locking Needle!
Feng Cang narrowed his eyes. He hadn't forgotten what Feng Che had said earlier: the Soul-Locking Needle came from the Heavenly Domain Continent. Who was behind it all? And why did they want to destroy Ji Jiuying?
Why destroy her now, of all times, just when the Feng family is about to arrest her? It's hard not to wonder whether the person behind this wants to destroy the Feng family or Ji Jiuying.
This matter concerns the Feng family, so he has no choice but to take it seriously.
Similarly, the people investigating the Soul-Locking Needle are not only from the Feng family, but also from the Nine Heavens Divine Palace.
According to Ziyu, their master had not returned, and no one knew where he was.
After listening to Yingyue's words, Ziyu glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
“Yingyue, there’s something I must remind you of. Now that the master isn’t by the mistress’s side, I hope you can prioritize things. This time it was the Soul-Locking Needle, but what about next time?”
Yingyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded.
Zi Yu sighed softly, and at that moment a figure appeared in front of the two of them.
"Lord Shadowmoon, Lord Purple Rain, there's been progress on the matter of the Soul-Locking Needles."
The two of them stood up abruptly. "Explain in detail."
"Those who possess the God-Locking Needle on the Heavenly Domain Continent are the Jiang family of Four Directions City, the Kamakura God of Blue Star Academy, and the Gate of Hell."
Yingyue and Ziyu exchanged a glance. Hell Gate was a sinister sect with immense power, capable of any kind of shady dealing, as long as the conditions were right.
The Kamakura God of Blue Star Academy failed to ascend to the Heavenly Venerable realm more than a decade ago, and his soul and spirit were destroyed.
If the Soul-Locking Needles on Ji Jiuying's body might have come from the Gate of Hell, then the Jiang family of Sifang City is the most suspicious.
Everyone in the Tianyu Continent knows that although the Jiang family currently controls Sifang City, they only have power in name only. The Feng family behind them is the real mastermind behind Sifang City.
Privately, people in Tianyu say that the Jiang family of Sifang City are lackeys of the Feng family.
The reason why the Jiang family is now in control of Sifang City is all because of the departure of Ji Jiuying's mother.
How could the rumors circulating on the Tianyu Continent not reach the ears of the Jiang family? Who wouldn't want the supreme power that governs the Four Directions City? After more than a decade, it's inevitable that some thoughts would arise.
Even if Ji Jiuying is ruined, the Jiang family will still control Sifang City.
However... the news of Kamakura God's death did indeed spread throughout the entire heavenly realm, but no one witnessed it with their own eyes, so he would not let go of any possibility.
"Pass down the order: use the Qilin Token to find out the whereabouts of the Soul-Locking Needles in the hands of the three parties," Yingyue said coldly.
Zi Yu was somewhat surprised that Ying Yue had used the Qilin Token without permission. Wasn't she afraid that her master would blame her if he found out?
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."
Only after the person disappeared did Ziyu speak, "Yingyue, do you know the consequences of using the Qilin Token without authorization?"
Yingyue then explained, "Ziyu, this matter concerns the safety of the mistress. I believe the master will allow it. Even if I am blamed, I, Yingyue, am willing to accept the punishment."
Zi Yu remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "Alright, if the master blames you, I will plead for you. Go back now. I will keep an eye on the Soul-Locking Needles and send someone to inform you if there is any news."
Yingyue nodded and left.
The people at the Princess's residence were still waiting anxiously. Yu Bugui also returned to the Princess's residence and, together with Bai Ling, guarded Ji Jiuying in the room.
Meanwhile, those outside, unable to contain their anger while waiting, would occasionally go and beat up Jun Linyu, who was under the control of sorcery.
"Why isn't Second Master Feng back yet? It's almost dark!"
Hei Xiangling said.
Shirakawa sighed softly, "Let's just wait patiently."
Qingling stared silently at the sky. Why had Yingyue been gone for so long? What had kept her there?
Half an hour later, a beam of light appeared from the void and landed on the ground of the princess's mansion.
Feng Che appeared in the courtyard, and everyone rushed forward to ask anxiously, "Second Master Feng, how is it? Did you get the Thousand Thoughts Thread?"
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, Feng Che felt happy for Ji Jiuying, that she had so many people who truly cared for her.
Bai Ling and Yu Bugui, who were in the room, also appeared in the courtyard after hearing the noise.
"Everyone, please calm down. I've already obtained the Qiansi Line. Those who want to rest, go and rest; those who want to eat, go and eat."
Everyone was overjoyed; now Xiao Jiu was saved.
"Second Master Feng, I'm not hungry or sleepy. I'll wait here for Miss."
"I'm not sleepy either. I'm going to wait for Xiao Jiu to wake up."
"Me too······"
"······"
Feng Che glanced at them helplessly, and Bai Ling spoke up, "Now that we have it, let's begin. The longer the Soul-Locking Needle remains in the body, the more damage will be done to the soul."
"good."
After entering the room, Feng Che, Bai Ling, and Yu Bugui set up a barrier to prevent outside interference during the needle-retrieving process. It wasn't that they didn't trust Hei Xiangling and the others, but the Soul-Locking Needle was too evil. A slight mistake could lead to the destruction of their soul and body, and eternal damnation. They had to be careful with every step.
Feng Che unleashed the Thousand Thoughts Thread and used his spiritual power to place it in Bai Ling's hand.
“Lord Guixu, please protect me later. Second Master Feng, this little girl’s soul was injured by the Soul-Locking Needle. You are her uncle, so I need to use your soul to help her heal.”
Bai Ling explained.
"good."
Feng Che didn't care at all. As long as he could save Xiao Jiu, he would never say no, even if it meant draining all the blood from his body.
Bai Ling made a few quick gestures with her left hand, and wisps of spiritual energy overflowed from her fingertips, enveloping Ji Jiuying who was lying on the bed.
As her spiritual energy increased, Ji Jiuying's entire body slowly floated in the air.
Seeing that the time was right, Bai Ling threw the Thousand Thoughts Thread into the air and began casting spells with her hands constantly shifting.
The Thousand Thoughts Thread became extremely fine, and under Bai Ling's control, it gradually entered her spiritual sea, passed through her soul, and found the nearly transparent needle.
Bai Ling's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and her lips had turned deathly pale from exhaustion. Upon seeing this, Yu Bugui quickly came behind her and sat down to meditate, protecting her while also transferring his spiritual energy to her.
With Yu Bugui's help, Bai Ling didn't have to struggle so much. Her fingers kept controlling the Thousand Thoughts Thread, slowly threading it through the Soul-Locking Needle.
Feng Che didn't dare to breathe too loudly. Threading and pulling out the needle were the most important steps, and they couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake.
After about half an incense stick's time, Bai Ling quickly changed her spiritual technique, muttering something as well. Her clasped fingers slowly opened, and the soul-locking needles that had been inserted into Ji Jiuying's soul were gradually withdrawn.
