Battle Through the Heavens: I had no intention of getting involved, but a yandere beauty stuck to my

This cycle repeated itself, and once the protector was beaten to the point of near death, he would be given a recovery treatment while the whipping continued.

Wu, the protector, originally intended to endure the whip while stating that he hadn't captured the person, but unfortunately, he simply couldn't do it. Every time the whip struck his body, he was interrupted by the unbearable pain.

This Soul-Beating Whip was specifically designed by the ancient race to target souls. Rather than a weapon, it is more like a torture instrument, used to punish captured souls. It can be said to be an essential tool for the ancient race.

As for the one in Xiao Xun'er's hand, that was an enhanced version.

"Wait, I have something to say. I didn't arrest him."

Suddenly, Protector Wu bit his tongue while the medicine was being applied, instantly waking up. He quickly spoke, afraid that if he spoke too late, he would be whipped again and would have no chance.

"You didn't arrest him?"

Looking at the Soul Clan member before her, Xiao Xun'er's icy expression couldn't help but show hesitation.

“Miss, the Soul Clan are always cunning. Perhaps he is lying to us.”

Xiao Xun'er listened to Gu Di's words from the side, her eyes constantly flickering, after all, she couldn't judge whether his words were true or false.

If what he said is true, then our people are wasting their time here. But if what he said is false, it will also be disadvantageous for them, and then the news about Xiao Miao's whereabouts will be cut off.

However, unless absolutely necessary, Xiao Xun'er did not want to use the soul-searching method. It was not because she was afraid of going against the natural order, but because the soul of the person in front of her had become extremely weak. Even if she used it, she would have to let the soul recover a little first. Otherwise, if she used it forcibly, the soul would be reduced to ashes, and then the only clue would be truly lost.

Thinking this, Xiao Xun'er's expression hardened, blaming everything on the person in front of her. Then, her lips parted coldly and she spoke:

"Keep interrogating me. I don't believe you won't talk."

Upon hearing Xiao Xun'er's words, Protector Wu's sincere expression and hopeful eyes shattered completely. A surge of anger rose within him—an anger of being wronged. Although he knew he was a villain, at this moment he desperately wished for a powerful figure to stand up for him. So what if you're strong? So what if you have a powerful background? Fortune changes every thirty years; don't underestimate someone who is poor now.

This is outrageous! If he were the one who captured the person, it would be one thing, but this person's disappearance has nothing to do with him, yet he's trying to pin it on him. He's determined that even if it costs him his life, he won't let the other party get away with it. He also realizes that the person in the portrait is very important to the woman before him, so he immediately began to curse angrily:

"You filthy bitch, yes, yes, I'm the one who caught him. You don't believe me no matter what I say, right? Hehehehe. The person in this portrait has such delicate skin and tender flesh. Tsk tsk tsk, he screamed so pitifully when I was tasting him. I love his delicate appearance when he's crawling under me. Too bad, I'll enjoy him first. Hahahahaha."

At this moment, Protector Wu had completely lost his temper and started his own moment of revelry, truly embodying the invincible foul mouth of the 'Emperor-level Battle Technique'.

I wonder what Xiao Miao, who is far away in the Tagor Desert, would think if he heard these words. He would probably rush over and tear him to pieces immediately.

However, there was one more person who was enraged. Xiao Xun'er heard Protector Wu begin to speak recklessly, especially the later parts of his words. Her calm, gloomy face gradually turned violent, her almond-shaped eyes narrowing slowly, filled with nothing but malice and rage. She hadn't even experienced it yet, and this person had already...

"you."

"Ah! Ah!!!"

Just as Protector Wu was about to speak, he was struck by another whip, his words abruptly cut off, and he let out another violent scream. But this still could not diminish the growing tyranny in Xiao Xun'er's heart, and she swiftly swung the Soul-Slaying Whip in her hand.

Gu Tian and Gu Di, standing to the side, were secretly shocked. It was the first time they had ever seen their young lady so angry. Seeing Protector Wu on the verge of death, they immediately resolved that no matter who they offended in the future, they must never offend their young lady. If they angered a powerful person, they would at most die, but if they angered their young lady, even death would be a luxury. Wasn't Protector Wu right in front of them a perfect example, being relentlessly whipped by the Soul-Slaying Whip?

"If you've got the guts, give me a quick death."

Looking at the Protector Wu who was determined to die, Xiao Xun'er remained unmoved. Since he had defiled her treasure, death was too cheap for him. She would make him wish he were dead.

"Search his soul, but remember not to kill him."

After saying this, Xiao Xun'er stood aside and slowly watched Gu Tian and Gu Di, as if she wanted them to make a move. And indeed, that was the case. What Protector Wu said was too provocative for her. If she thought about it even slightly, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but tear it to shreds. Only having items related to Xiao Miao around her could give her some relief.

Little Miao, even though you're all dirty, I'll bring you back to my side and clean you up properly. You just can't leave me anymore.

"No, no, don't come any closer!"

As the two burly men approached him, Protector Wu let out a desperate cry; he absolutely refused to have his soul searched. (Those with impure thoughts, please stand at the back.)

Gu Tian stepped forward and gave him the recovery medicine. Once his soul had recovered to a certain extent, he began to use a secret technique to search his soul.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Gu Tian and Gu Di ignored Wu Hufa's screams and continued to carry out their young lady's orders.

Chapter 40 A Shocking Mistake

After Gu Tian and Gu Di finished searching the souls, both of them couldn't help but look somewhat embarrassed.

Xiao Xun'er looked at the scene before her and couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that the soul search had failed?

At this moment, none of the three present spoke. Gu Tian and Gu Di were frightened, while Xiao Xun'er dared not speak, for fear of losing this only clue.

The two were not frightened by the unconscious Protector Wu, but rather by the sight of Xiao Xun'er's anger earlier.

If the two were overjoyed at the thought of the reward bestowed upon them by Xiao Xun'er, they were now terrified.

The two men's soul-searching was not a failure, but rather a relatively successful one. However, the memories they retrieved did not contain the person they were looking for in the portrait. In fact, even Protector Wu had never seen this person before. This made the two men break out in a cold sweat. They might also be looking for something else.

It seems they've arrested the wrong person, and this person has absolutely no connection to the one they're looking for.

But why did this person claim to have arrested him and treat the man in the portrait that way, which angered the young lady?

Suddenly, the two remembered that although they seemed to have said that he wasn't the one who arrested the person, none of the three of them believed it. Could this guy be giving up and deliberately provoking the young lady to get her angry and give her a quick death?

After putting themselves in each other's shoes, the two realized it was indeed possible. If someone stronger than you is constantly tormenting you and framing you with a baseless accusation, then death would be a relief.

At this thought, their faces stiffened; they knew that if they told the young lady about this, it would probably be disastrous.

Looking at the two uneasy people in front of her, Xiao Xun'er guessed that the situation might not be good. Her expression darkened, and she thought to herself:

"Could it be that they failed? The people of the Soul Palace are really weak. They can't even withstand this little secret technique. If I had known this would happen, Xiao Miao, I shouldn't have let you go to Yunlan Sect to cultivate in the first place."

Xiao Xun'er took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to the two people in front of her:

"Elders, has the soul search failed?"

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's question, Gu Tian and Gu Di exchanged a glance side by side. In the end, Gu Tian gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and said to Xiao Xun'er:

"The soul-searching technique was successful, but..."

Upon hearing the first sentence, Xiao Xun'er's worry instantly turned to joy, but upon hearing the second part, her expression tightened, and she quickly asked:

"What happened? Have you found him?"

Could it be that this person from the Soul Palace has already tried to kill me? Damn it, how dare he?

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Xun'er's face gradually turned angry, her eyes became bloodshot, and she began to exude a bloodthirsty killing intent.

Gu Tian was stunned by this sight, and his already difficult words became even more stammering.

"Tell me quickly, what happened? Where is Xiaomiao?"

"We found no record of Young Master Xiao Miao in this person's memory."

Hearing Gu Tian's words, Xiao Xun'er was stunned. She had imagined many possibilities, even the worst outcome. She had originally thought that she should see him alive or dead, but she never expected that this would happen.

Xiao Xun'er's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, could be relieved a little. Although there was no news, it was still better than death.

But then she remembered that she couldn't find it?

In other words, he went to such great lengths, only to find that the person in front of him had absolutely no connection to him. Yet she clearly remembered that Gu Tian and Gu Di had sworn that the person in front of her had taken away her Xiao Miao.

Thinking of the reason, Xiao Xun'er narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression became calm, and she spoke softly:

"Elders, what is the reason for this? Didn't you two assure me before that this person was the culprit? What's going on now?"

"Or perhaps the two elders think I am unworthy to be the young lady of the ancient clan and want to bully my superiors to steal the treasure of the ancient clan."

As Xiao Xun'er's words grew colder, Gu Tian and Gu Di were filled with fear.

Although the two of them were peerless experts in the Northwest Continent, they knew their own situation well. Within the ancient clans of the Central State, their status was not very high. But the person in front of them was the young lady of the entire ancient clan. Her father, Gu Yuan, was not only the clan leader of the ancient clan, but also a peak nine-star Dou Sheng, standing at the pinnacle of strength. As his only child, Gu Xun'er was showered with love and affection.

Now that this heavy accusation had been leveled against them, Gu Tian and Gu Di immediately knelt before him, their voices filled with panic:

"This subordinate dares not, please spare me, Miss. This subordinate truly did not expect this."

"You two tell me what happened quickly, without missing a single clue."

The two quickly agreed, and then recounted the entire incident in detail.

But Xiao Xun'er grew increasingly angry as she listened, her fury rising until she shouted angrily at the two of them:

"In other words, you have absolutely no evidence. You just have his presence in the Yunlan Sect and you're already convinced that he's the one who captured the people."

Faced with Xiao Xun'er's questioning, the two were speechless.

However, it's understandable that the two of them overthink things. The Soul Clan has a terrible reputation on the continent. When they went to investigate the clues, they happened to find the Soul Clan's aura, so they didn't think much of it. Moreover, when a prodigy is in trouble, the first thing that major forces think of is the Soul Palace. And that's usually the case. It can only be said that Shi Penzi has wronged them this time.

"In that case, is it possible that the Soul Hall stronghold you discovered..."

Xiao Xun'er pondered for a moment, then asked the two of them.

“Miss, the Jia Ma Empire only has the soul energy of this one person, and there is no trace of Young Master Xiao Miao in his memories. I think it is unlikely that he is in the Soul Palace.”

Seeing that the young lady had set her sights on the Soul Palace, Gu Di, who was standing nearby, hurriedly tried to dissuade her, fearing that she might impulsively lead the two of them to fight. If something happened to the young lady, they would probably be torn apart by Gu Yuansheng.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly, realizing that it was indeed true. However, it seemed that the last clue had also been cut off.

Looking at Gu Tian and Gu Di standing there, Xiao Xun'er couldn't help but feel annoyed. If the clan sent a Dou Zun to search using spatial power, it would definitely be faster. Considering the opposition from the clan elders, she would deal with those old fogies after taking Xiao Miao back. If they were sensible, she wouldn't mind dealing with them leniently, but if they were not, losing a few people in the clan wouldn't be a big loss.

"Hurry up and go find it! What are you standing here for?"

Hearing Xiao Xun'er's order, the two did not hesitate and immediately slipped away to get away from Xiao Xun'er's oppressive aura, so as not to be implicated.

The two then traveled all over the Northwest Continent. Gu Tian even sneaked into the Soul Palace to spy, but after searching everywhere, he still couldn't find Xiao Miao. This put his mind at ease, at least he didn't have to worry about his young lady attacking the Soul Palace.

However, Hun Qianqiu later discovered this, and the two fought. Unfortunately, Hun Qianqiu had no choice but to let Hun Qianqiu go.
