The Mysterious Object that Wu the Leader consumed came from a Magic Technique called the White Ape Technique. Once mastered, it allowed for Beastification into an ape.
He had no interest in the White Ape Technique and certainly wouldn't waste his Lifespan to master it, so he had handed Wu the Leader directly over to the Forbidden Soldier Hall.
He had originally thought Wu the Leader was connected to the Dao Field of Non-action, but now that seemed somewhat unrealistic.
After all, no matter how deranged the Blind Taoist was, he still had the instinct to avoid disaster. He probably wouldn't dare approach Sanxiang City, which was full of Forbidden Guards.
Ren Qing placed a Split Soul inside the Dao Field. If the consciousness of an ordinary person were to be drawn in, he would be able to sense it immediately.
He could then use that consciousness to determine the Preacher's location.
