Ye Li was silent for a moment after hearing Zhu Li's words, a cunning flash in his eyes, and said, "He doesn't let you bring it up on your own initiative, which means that if you say it involuntarily, it doesn't count as a violation of the oath, right?"
Zhu Li was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Sir, I won't say it out involuntarily. No matter how you ask me, I won't take the initiative to tell you about that senior!!"
Zhu Li showed a sense of shock while speaking.
Ye Li was not angry, he smiled lightly and said: "So, if you said it involuntarily, it would not be considered a breach of contract."
Zhu Li said: "I won't be forced to do things against my will, and I can't think of any way to be forced to do things against my will.
But if you really have no choice, then it is not a breach of contract."
After hearing his second sentence, Ye Li finally nodded and said, "If that's the case, then that's good!"
After Ye Li finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand and ejected a soul-moving talisman.
The moment Zhu Li was swept by the soul-walking talisman, he froze in place, his eyes dull, as if he was sleepwalking.
Most of the other people couldn’t even see the power of soul movement. They could only see Ye Li flicked his fingers, and Zhu Li was fixed in place.
Before their surprise subsided, Ye Li asked, "Zhu Li, where did you learn that spell just now?"
Hearing Ye Li's question, Zhu Li replied with lifeless eyes: "Senior Zhang taught me!"
Ye Li was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Senior Zhang!?"
Zhu Li said: "It was Senior Zhang, the woodcutter from Songmu Mountain. I saved his granddaughter's life in the mountain, and he taught me this spell.
He said that this was a talisman passed down from his ancestors. When he was young, he used it to hang around in the underworld for a while and made some name for himself.
But later on, his strength did not improve at all, so he had no choice but to retire."
Ye Li didn't react much when he heard Zhu Li's words, but the village chief and other people next to him showed surprise on their faces.
"Zhang Qiaozi is actually a talisman master. He taught you the talisman spell!!!"
The village chief's face was filled with shock; he simply couldn't believe what Zhu Li said.
Zhu Li ignored him. His mind was completely controlled by Ye Li. Ye Li asked the village chief, "Who is that Zhang Qiaozi?"
The village chief said, "Sir, that woodcutter Zhang is a woodcutter near our village. We don't know which village he is from. We only know that he always appears between several villages in these mountains and sells firewood to us.
But we didn't realize he had any skills, I thought he was just an ordinary person."
Hearing the words of the village chief, Ye Li flicked his fingers, and the surrounding soul power dissipated instantly, and Zhu Li was also awakened by Ye Li.
Ye Li did not deliberately change his thinking, nor did he erase his memory of previous events, so he fully understood what had just happened.
"Senior... you... you..."
Zhu Li looked at Ye Li in disbelief. He didn't understand what Ye Li had done to him that made him say something he would never say.
He was completely unable to control his thoughts and actions just now. In his eyes, Ye Li was like the person he trusted the most, and all the secrets in his heart could be told in front of Ye Li.
This feeling was so terrifying that after waking up, Zhu Li looked at Ye Li with fear in his eyes.
After all, the secrets in a person's heart are hidden in the deepest part of his heart. When these secrets cannot be kept in front of another person, it will bring tremendous fear.
In Zhu Li's opinion, he had become a completely transparent person in front of Ye Li. Everything in his heart was seen clearly by Ye Li. If Ye Li wanted to dig out his secrets, he might just need to snap his fingers and say a few words.
From this point of view, Ye Li has risen to the level of a god in the eyes of these villagers.
"You just told me the secret because I controlled your consciousness.
So you didn’t come here on your own initiative, and you didn’t break your own oath.”
Ye Li said to Zhu Li.
Zhu Li was stunned when he heard this, then opened his mouth but said nothing.
There was nothing wrong with what Ye Li said. He really couldn't help but tell his secret.
"Zhu Li, can you take me to find this Zhang Qiaozi? I have no ill will towards him, I just want to ask him some questions."
Ye Li spoke very politely, trying to appear as kind as possible so that Zhu Li wouldn't worry that he had bad intentions.
Zhu Li looked at Ye Li and said, "Senior, if I didn't tell you where Senior Zhang lives, would you also use the method you just used to make me tell the truth?"
Ye Li did not hide anything after hearing this, he nodded and said: "Yes, some things are very important to me, so I must ask this Zhang Qiaozi.
If you don't want to say it, I will definitely use the method I just used to make you tell the truth."
After hearing Ye Li's words, Zhu Li could only say helplessly: "Okay, Senior, I can tell you where Senior Zhang lives, but you have to promise not to cause trouble for him.
Otherwise, even if I commit suicide right here, I will not leak any information about Senior Zhang."
Hearing Zhu Li's words, Ye Li couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that Zhu Li was such a fiery person.
He actually used death as a threat, forcing Ye Li to not push the other party too hard.
Ye Li smiled softly upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, I'm only here for some ancient legend, and I have no hatred with anyone here.
That Zhang Qiaozi is probably the clue I'm looking for. I came to him just to ask him some questions."
After hearing Ye Li's assurance, Zhu Li finally nodded and said, "Since Senior said so, I will believe what Senior said. I will take you to find Senior Zhang now."
After Ye Li's repeated statements, Zhu Li finally believed Ye Li and agreed to take Ye Li to find Zhang Qiaozi.
Ye Li nodded and said, "Okay, then thank you very much!!!"
After Zhu Li said something to the village chief, he walked up to Ye Li and said, "Senior, please follow me. I will take you to Senior Zhang right now!!!"
As Zhu Li spoke, he ran out first and motioned Ye Li to follow him.
A hint of joy flashed in Ye Li's eyes when he heard this, and he immediately followed Zhu Li and ran towards the entrance of the valley.
Ye Li originally thought that this village was built on the ruins of Duanjinmen’s base.
However, since he came here, he had taken the initiative to explore the surroundings, but there was no trace of any ruins. It was obvious that the original Duanjinmen ruins where this village was built had long disappeared.
