Chapter 1219 There's Someone Behind It All
After leaving behind that harsh remark, the leader of the Pure Guild closed his eyes.
No matter how much Sun Wukong and Nezha questioned him, he remained silent.
Seeing his attitude, Sun Wukong and Nezha understood perfectly well that he wanted to keep them from getting answers and ensure they would never have a peaceful day again.
Nezha refused to believe in evil spirits, released his Fire-Tipped Spear, and started punching and kicking the man, who remained silent throughout.
Even though the person was in excruciating pain, he clenched his teeth tightly.
Nezha beat the other party up badly, but didn't get any new clues out of him. Instead, he ended up getting himself very tired.
Panting heavily, he looked helplessly at Sun Wukong beside him: "I'm truly impressed by him! He didn't utter a single word even after I beat him so badly, his backbone is really something..."
Seeing that the leader of the Pure Guild was clearly in excruciating pain, groaning silently without uttering a single word of begging for mercy, Sun Wukong felt that something was off about the person in front of him.
He clenched his fist and suddenly said, "Maybe he's been placed under some kind of restriction. Let's just get straight to the point."
"Get straight to the point?" Nezha turned his head to look at Sun Wukong with some confusion.
"Does this refer to soul searching?" he silently asked Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong nodded almost imperceptibly. "Since it's an unconventional matter, naturally we'll need unconventional methods."
Sensing something was wrong, the leader of the Pure Guild instinctively tried to get up and run away after hearing Sun Wukong's words.
Unfortunately, his injuries were quite severe, and Sun Wukong's movements were extremely fast. Before he could even make a move, Sun Wukong froze him in place.
The terrified Guild Master of Pure Innocence watched as Sun Wukong approached her, shaking her head frantically and silently crying out: No... don't come any closer!
Unfortunately, Sun Wukong did not hear his prayer and still came to the man's side.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt much." Sun Wukong smiled and reassured the leader of the Pure Guild, but his hand was placed firmly on the man's head.
As one invisible force after another surged through the mind of the leader of the Pure Guild, his face visibly paled.
No... don't look anymore...
He felt his soul trembling and howling, and he had no control over his memories.
A moment later, Sun Wukong read through all of the Pure Guild Master's memories. He frowned, wondering if he had been misled by the Pure Guild Master's attitude.
After all, no matter how many times he looked at them, there was nothing missing or anything special about them.
Even the core of the world appears perfectly normal.
It was simply that the guild leader of the Pure Guild accidentally learned of the existence of the Core of the World.
This gave rise to some ideas, which led to the research into the core of the world.
Therefore, it seems that what the leader of the Pure Guild said was just a lie told casually to create confusion.
If that's really the case, then this person is truly despicable! Sun Wukong thought indignantly to himself.
"So? The results are in? Is what he said true? Is there a master behind him?" Nezha asked as soon as he saw Sun Wukong slowly withdraw his hand.
Sun Wukong's expression showed no sign of relaxation, and after hearing Nezha's question, he shook his head almost imperceptibly.
Seeing Sun Wukong's posture, Nezha instantly understood.
It turns out that this old guy deliberately said those ambiguous things in order to escape death and try to get a way out of them!
Nezha grew angrier the more he thought about it, and stormed up to give that annoying guy a few more rounds.
He wanted to show the leader of the Pure Guild the consequences of fooling them.
He muttered, "You're really despicable. Even at a time like this, you still can't forget to find a way to survive!"
"Are you deliberately trying to fob me off with these vague and ambiguous words?"
Unfortunately, before Nezha could land his punch, something unexpected happened.
The Pure Guild Master, who had just been subjected to soul searching and appeared dazed and confused, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, Nezha quickly took a step back, narrowly avoiding the mouthful of blood.
Nezha, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws, felt that the guy lying on the ground was trying to gain sympathy in order to escape possible punishment.
"Wow, you're really vicious! At a time like this, you still have to resort to this kind of scam to stage an accident! It's absolutely despicable!"
Upon hearing Nezha's words, Sun Wukong thought for a moment and stepped forward to examine the leader of the Pure Guild.
It wouldn't be a big deal if you didn't look at it, but once you did, you'd be shocked.
The Pure Guild Master, who was perfectly fine just moments ago, is now completely lifeless. Not only that, but even her once intact soul has vanished in an instant.
"It's hopeless, he's already dead." A somber look appeared on Sun Wukong's face.
He knew very well that this guy was more valuable alive than dead, so when he searched the man's soul, he left room for maneuver, carefully controlling the degree of his actions to ensure that the other party would not die as a result of the soul search.
But now, this person has suddenly died right under their noses, which is definitely not a coincidence.
Upon hearing the news of the man's death, Nezha's expression immediately turned serious. He looked at Sun Wukong and asked in a deep voice, "Can you tell what caused his death?"
Sun Wukong glanced at Nezha, then shook his head: "Although I really want to answer yes, I can't... His cause of death is too strange."
"It shows here that his lifespan has ended, but his soul has been scattered, which is obviously unreasonable."
Upon hearing this, Nezha was initially somewhat skeptical, but instinctively stepped forward to investigate, only to discover that what Sun Wukong said was absolutely true.
His perception was that the man had died peacefully in his sleep, but his soul had been completely scattered, as if it had been dispersed in an instant.
"He's already dead, should we continue?" Nezha awkwardly withdrew his hand, glanced at Sun Wukong, and then asked.
Hearing this, Sun Wukong sighed, "Now that the culprit is dead, let's put this matter to rest for the time being!"
"What about what he said before..." Nezha continued to press for details.
This situation is too obvious; it's clearly murder to silence a witness.
This proves that most of what the leader of the Pure Guild said before was true.
Sun Wukong murmured, "After I saw his memories, I thought he was just creating a smokescreen."
"He wanted to use this to divert our attention in exchange for a way to survive, but now it seems... his subsequent change of heart was out of necessity."
Only if the other party was telling the truth, and someone feared that the leader of the Pure Guild would reveal more inside information, would they be so decisive in killing them to silence them.
