"Master, Gu Lie's mouth is very tight; we've used all kinds of torture, yet he still keeps silent and hasn't revealed any effective clues about Gu Sheng's cultivation technique weaknesses or his whereabouts."
"Subordinate suspects he might truly know little. Should we... perform the Soul Searching Technique on him? Though it may lead to his Divine Soul disintegrating, it might yield some fragmentary information."
"Soul Search?"
Xiao Beixuan slowly opened his eyes, glancing at the subordinate with a hint of displeasure and disdain in his gaze.
"Fool. Gu Lie is nothing more than bait, a tool to distract Gu Sheng's mind.
He is more useful alive than a worthless corpse. After soul searching, if he turns into an idiot or his soul disperses, how will I catch the big fish? Keeping him alive, living in agony, can truly make Gu Sheng lose his composure."
The rebuked subordinate broke into a cold sweat and quickly lowered his head.
"Subordinate was foolish, master is wise!"
