Soon, Mu Jinyu led Xia Ruochen and the others back to the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Base.

Then let the old man notify others to come over and inform them that Xia Ruochen and the others were fine.

"Boss, are you okay now?"

"It looks like they're really fine now, let's go over!"

A group of people quickly rushed over, but seeing Xia Ruochen and the others standing there, even though they were informed that everything was okay, they still hesitated, afraid they might suddenly lash out and harm others.

However, after observing carefully a few times, they noticed that Xia Ruochen and those who had fallen into demon state did not exude a faint demonic Qi, and their eyes didn't have that blood-red, eerie look, so they instantly felt relieved and approached them.

Some even, to show their reassurance and camaraderie, took the initiative to give them a big hug, pounding on their chests a few times, and laughed as they complained, "Ah, you scared us to death, brothers."

Mu Jinyu glanced at them a few times, unable to discern if there was any problem with these people, and said blandly, "Stand firm, don't joke around."

"Mm."

"Uh..."

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's instructions, these people were initially stunned, then looked at Xia Ruochen with some difficulty.

Although the Dragon King is indeed powerful and admirable, since they are part of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, and with Xia Ruochen also present, listening to Mu Jinyu would clearly make things difficult for Xia Ruochen, and Mu Jinyu seemed to be overstepping a bit.

Even though he just saved Xia Ruochen and the high-level members of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow...

"Listen to the Dragon King," Xia Ruochen said calmly without any change in expression.

But his heart felt quite bitter.

After all, letting these people have their souls searched by Mu Jinyu was equivalent to laying open many secrets of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

But who made him weak?

Who made him unable to soul search?

Even if he could soul search, he couldn't ensure that there wouldn't be any soul damage afterward!

Therefore, he could only let Mu Jinyu take action!

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Xia Ruochen's words, everyone immediately stood straight in front of Mu Jinyu.

Each one stood as straight as a spear, with serious expressions.

Only, their eyes looking at Mu Jinyu were somewhat uneasy.

Mu Jinyu didn't start soul searching them without a word.

Although he could do so and they couldn't resist.

But he didn't do so.

After all, when he usually performed soul searching, it was always on enemies, regardless of their resistance.

But although these people weren't his friends, they could be considered comrades, and how could he not explain to them before soul searching?

Mu Jinyu sighed lightly and said, "Let me first explain why your Lord Xia and others became like that..."

He briefly and quickly relayed the conclusions he and Bai Xiaosheng had deduced earlier to everyone.

"What?"

"Is it possible that our memories have been unknowingly altered?"

"How is that possible?"

"So, Dragon King, you want to soul search us now?"

"..."

Everyone felt a chill after hearing Mu Jinyu's words, incredulous and reluctant to believe...

Then they all began to vocalize their objections to Mu Jinyu's plan to soul search them.

Doesn't everyone have little secrets?

Who would willingly expose themselves completely, with no secrets, to others?

Even if it's the Dragon King, who had practically saved the Huaxia people recently, they were reluctant.

The old man who led Mu Jinyu saw things more clearly and, having been soul searched by Mu Jinyu himself, he was not willing to be the only one suffering, so he persuaded:

"There's no need to worry, the Dragon Master's soul searching technique won't cause irreparable damage to your souls. Besides, I know everyone has little secrets, but do you think the Dragon King, considering his status, would care about those secrets? So don't worry!"

Hearing the old man's words, those who knew of his past actions hesitated, eyes flickering, and one asked, "Old Wu, you've already been soul searched by the Dragon King?"

"Of course." Old Wu straightened his back and said proudly.

"To ensure the safety of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, and to uncover the plot of the mastermind as soon as possible, I naturally had no hesitation!"

He spoke with righteousness!

Those who knew Old Wu's past actions were moved upon realizing that his little secrets were not revealed by Mu Jinyu.

Seeing Xia Ruochen and others' impatient looks, they felt a chill.

They knew if they continued to hesitate and refuse, even if they weren't soul searched by Mu Jinyu in the end, they might still face consequences with Xia Ruochen.

So, they gritted their teeth and nodded, "Alright, we agree to open our Sea of Consciousness for the Dragon King to soul search us!"

Seeing some people agree, the rest hesitated even more.

Xia Ruochen, unwilling to waste time, directly said, "There's nothing to hesitate about, Old Wu is right. Our most pressing need now is to find the problem and a solution, or do you want to find out you're no longer yourself?"

Upon hearing Xia Ruochen's words, everyone felt a chill.

For them, finding out the problem and discovering a solution wasn't actually as important; they weren't concerned about big troubles as there would always be someone to solve them.

But Xia Ruochen's last words, the idea of not being themselves anymore, terrified them.

In comparison, having Mu Jinyu soul search them and discover their secrets was far less frightening than no longer being themselves.

This time, without any hesitation, everyone nodded, "Alright, Dragon King, you can soul search us."

But some were afraid, worried there might be issues, and cautiously added, "Dragon King, please be gentle, I don't want to become an idiot..."

"Mm, no problem..."

Mu Jinyu patiently waited for them to come to terms with reality and felt exhausted.

If over the years, Chu Tiance had indeed manipulated most of the global population, how long would it take to inspect one by one while respecting human rights?

A more reliable and efficient means was needed!

Yet, for now, he had no solutions.

He glanced sideways at Xilin, shook his head secretly, then began soul searching the group before him.

He soul searched one by one.

Mu Jinyu proceeded gently, ensuring no harm would come to their souls, avoiding any irreparable damage.

But upon reaching the tenth person, Mu Jinyu's expression grew gloomier, filled with dissatisfaction.

He hadn't found any issues.

One or two having no issues might be normal, but considering Xia Ruochen's situation, it made no sense that there was nothing wrong with these people, yet his inspection revealed no problems.

It could only mean the issues were greater than what he could detect.

Or perhaps Bai Xiaosheng was deceiving him, and there was no such person as Chu Tiance, nor a technique to alter memories, but rather some lurking devil corrupting Xia Ruochen and the others?
