Li An flipped over the corpse again, and found no useful clues, so he prepared to borrow the corpse and call back the man's soul.

Li Yao asked with great interest: "Dad, do you still understand the art of summoning souls?"

While fiddling with the corpse, Li An explained: "It is not a soul-suming technique, but a corpse as a medium to trace back to his soul, and then through the soul, all the memories of his life are presented to us in concrete images. This is called 'soul searching'."

"I learned everything that Yu Linglong encountered during her lifetime by searching for the soul, which is different from recruiting the soul. Conjuring the soul only summons the human soul. If the soul is imprisoned by others, it cannot be summoned. For searching the soul, even if the soul is imprisoned by others, as long as the soul does not dissipate, you can find the picture of the life."

"So powerful!" Li Yao obviously developed a strong curiosity about this "soul-seeking" technique.

Li An could naturally see Li Yao’s interest in this magic and smiled and said, “If the baby wants to learn it, Dad will teach you in the future.”

Li Yao nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay."

Through the examination of the corpse, Li An confirmed that the person's soul was still preserved intact, so he covered the eyebrows of the corpse with his palm, and only slightly activated the spiritual power. From Li An's hand as the center, a slightly complex, dark blue magic array appeared on the head of the corpse.

Li Yao looked at the runes of the magic array carefully, and judged through Li An's actions when he used the magic array. Although the patterns of this magic array were complex, they were only low and above the magic array, and were not a complex and profound magic array.

The dark blue light of the magic array flickered and darker, and the innermost runes and the outermost runes slowly rotated against the opposite direction. After waiting for a while, I saw that the subtle light slowly floated out like fireflies from the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the corpse, gradually obscuring it in the magic array, but no picture was presented.

Li An put away the magic circle, but his brows frowned into a dead knot.

"No, this person's soul has not dissipated. Why can't the soul searching cannot sense a trace of the message from his soul?"

"Can it be swallowed up?" Li Yao asked.

Li An shook his head and said with certainty: "If the soul is swallowed, the corpse cannot be refined into a zombie, unless..." As he said that, Li An's eyes became a little cold.

Drawing a dagger from the guard's waist, shaved the corpse's hair completely. Sure enough, a mark was found on the corpse's celestial cover. Looking closely, it turned out to be a flower.

"Yaege Sakura, Yuan Meng's favorite flower, used this flower as a family pattern, and used this flower as a unique symbol of the ghost art he created. Anyone who practices ghost art according to the manuscript left by Yuan Meng will leave the mark of this Yaege Sakura on the zombie he refined. If someone who is not familiar with Yuan Meng, he would not know this at all. I am afraid that this person who stole the manuscript would not know this."

Li An sneered, his eyes full of Xiao Sha's expression.

The Yuan family was destroyed, which should have been considered as Yuan Feiyuan had ulterior motives but said that the law of heaven was good for reincarnation, and he received retribution.

If this is true, Li An had nothing to complain about, and could only lament that the bloodline of his old friend was over.

However, if someone has the idea of ​​Yuan Meng’s manuscript, this is another matter.

Li Yao could see the murderous intent and anger in his father's eyes. Although he was also very suspicious about this matter, this matter was like a mess in Li Yao's eyes and could not find any clues.

Li An explained the reason to Li Yao.

Not to mention that the man stole Yuan Meng's manuscript, wouldn't he be afraid of being chased by the Yuan family? Just talking about how that man knew where Yuan Meng's manuscript was hidden was enough to make people doubt it.

Yuan Meng's manuscript is the treasure of the Yuan family and has always been collected by the head of the Yuan family and carefully. If you don't know the specific location of the Yuan Meng's manuscript, it would be like to steal Yuan Meng's manuscript.

Furthermore, if Yuan Meng’s manuscript had been stolen earlier, how could the Yuan family be so calm?

When Yuan Meng was compiling the manuscript, he had asked Li An and other friends to communicate with him. Li An also read the content of the manuscript. Many of the ghost techniques listed by Yuan Meng as taboo were even more strange and terrifying than the technique of refining the magic gods.

Yuan Meng was afraid that future generations would embark on evil paths because of these heaven-defying techniques, so he set up a ban in several sections of recording the ban. If his cultivation level did not reach a certain level, it would be impossible to unlock the ban.

As for what kind of cultivation level should be achieved when unblocking the ban... The Yuan family has tried several generations of heads, but they all ended in failure. Some people have also said that unless it is the level of the Immortal Emperor or the Demon Emperor, it is impossible to unblock the ban.

So far, except Yuan Meng himself, the Yuan family has never produced a person above the level of the Immortal Lord, and it is even more impossible for them to hand over the manuscript to others to unravel. Every generation regards the manuscript as a supreme treasure. They would rather the ghost art in the manuscript be lost than to give it to outsiders.

If the manuscript is lost, it is no exaggeration to the Yuan family that it is a disaster that will destroy the world.

Therefore, Li An believes that the person who stole the manuscript must have had contact with Yuan Feiyuan and had a very close relationship. Such people are either Yuan Feiyuan's closeest love or have a great cooperative relationship with interests.

Thinking of this, Li An remembered that the technique of refining the demon god was also set by Yuan Meng, but Yuan Feiyuan could actually see it. Li An knew that Yuan Feiyuan's cultivation was only at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal. Yuan Feiyuan's father, Yuan Huaisheng, could not untie the ban on Yuan Meng's manuscript at the level of the Immortal King. What can he do with a Daluo Golden Immortal?

Li Yao frowned and said, "So, Dad thinks that someone helped Yuan Feiyuan unlock part of the ban on Yuan Meng's manuscript, and the person who unlocked the ban was the person who stole the manuscript?"

Li An nodded and said, "That's true. If the ban can be unlocked by just verbal statements, it would be too underestimated by Yuan Meng's ability. Moreover, those who can unlock the ban set by Yuan Meng may have their cultivation level above the Immortal Lord."

Li Yao said: "Didn't Yuan Meng only reach the level of the Immortal King? Could it be that the ban can be lifted by reaching the Immortal King?"

"It's not like that." Li An smiled and said, "If Yuan Meng had not died, he would have the strength to become the second existence on Qin Yue Continent that makes people feel scared, and even become the second immortal emperor. It's a pity that when he passed the tribulation and was promoted to the Immortal Lord, he drank too much wine and was blown away by the heavenly tribulation."

Li An seemed not to have much sadness or regret for Yuan Meng's death, but instead she was like telling a joke. However, Li Yao couldn't help but twitch when he heard it, and said leisurely: "This is too...too frustrating to death."

Li An laughed awkwardly and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. At the beginning, we brothers were drinking so hard that Yuan Meng had compiled the manuscript. She was even more happy and drank a lot."

"Who could have expected that when he was drunk and unconscious, the heavenly tribulation suddenly came, and a ray of thunder struck down. Yuan Meng, who was unprepared, was chopped to ashes in front of us."

"The sky thunder lost its target and started bombing. Fortunately, my father reacted in time and supported the defensive magic circle, which saved our Demon Cult General Assembly from disaster."

Hearing this, Li Yao's mouth twitched even harder and said, "It turns out that Daddy can't escape the death of Yuan Meng. The heavenly disaster is approaching, and you still dare to drink and have fun?"

At this moment, Li An smiled even more embarrassedly. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet, so he scratched the back of his head and squinted his eyes and said, "At that time, I expected that the heavenly tribulation would come ten days ago, and I didn't think it would be so coincidental at that time."

Li Yao gave this heartless father a glance and said, "When it comes to business, is Daddy clueless about the person who has lifted the ban?"

Li An withdrew her smile and her expression became serious again.

Li An, a member of the Demon Cult, is still aware of the truth. In addition to the two elders in the Demon Cult, those who can reach the realm of the Immortal Lord are one of the founders of the Demon Cult in Yunmeng Shuihudi, and two division leaders of Ganzhou and Kunzhou.

Li An, the two leaders of the division of the sect in Ganzhou and Kunzhou, were completely relieved. They were orphans rescued by Li An, and were raised by Li An. They once vowed to be loyal to Li An to death. Without Li An's permission, they formed a unilateral contract with Li An on their own. If they do anything to betray Li An, they will immediately disappear.

The two elders of the magistrate have been assisting Li An. They have never been to Shangzhou, nor have any contact with Yuan Feiyuan. They only went to Shangzhou with Li An this morning, and are still solving subsequent matters in Shangzhou.

It is even more impossible that one of the founders of the Demon Cult in Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger Land!

This person is named Long Ying, and his original form is Ying Long.

Li An started the Demon Sect with several friends, and Long Ying recommended Li An as the leader. And like Li An, he was the kind of person who hated being bound very much.

After the Demon Cult was stable, he gave all the matter to his son, and he was free and contented in Yunmeng, sleeping in the tiger's place, free and easy. Even the Demon Cult did not interfere in the affairs of the Demon Cult at all, and he was more like a hand-off manager than Li An.

Li An sighed quietly and shook his head and said, "This corpse has no value anymore. Let's burn it. Let's go to the place where this corpse is found."

Li Yao nodded and took Li An to the lotus pond where he first encountered this corpse.

Li An inspected the lotus pond carefully. Not far up here is the mouth of the Qinghe River. Judging from the death time of the man mentioned by Li Yao, the corpse was most likely to have entered Mingyue Lake along the Qinghe River.

Thinking of this, Li An's heart sank a little further.

The difference between Qinghe and other rivers that flow into Mingyue Lake is that it flows through the Demon Cult's Headquarters, which proves that the source of the corpse is most likely within the Demon Cult's Headquarters.

Moreover, based on the water flow, the time of this person's death is very consistent with the flow from the Demon Cult to this end.

Even if the Demon Cultivation Headquarters is upstream, the corpse will inevitably be discovered through the Demon Cultivation Headquarters. There is no human village or demon clan living at this distance between the Main Cultivation Headquarters and the mouth of the River. Therefore, the corpse can only flow out of the Demon Cultivation Headquarters.

"This person is an insider of our Demon Cult." Li An said quietly: "But this is easy to deal with and can save you from finding a needle in a haystack." His tone was a little colder than before.

"Baby, let's go back to the headquarters."
