Chapter 463: Chapter 463

Ding Fan looked at Mu Qiangsheng on the hospital bed with a shocked expression.

"Brother Fan, what exactly happened to my cousin?" Ye Ningqing, standing beside Ding Fan, looked at him with a worried face.

"Your cousin's situation is very special; his primary soul has been sealed," Ding Fan said.

"Sealed?!" Ye Ningqing had spent a considerable amount of time with the 34567 group, so she was quite experienced in the ways of the world.

However, upon hearing that someone had sealed Mu Qiangsheng's primary soul, Ye Ningqing still wore a face of surprise.

The primary soul is located in the chest area, and while some evil cultivators can snatch the primary soul for soul refinement, the act of sealing the primary soul left Ye Ningqing very puzzled.

A soul seal is time-consuming and strenuous; who would do such a thing?

After performing a quick check on Mu Qiangsheng, Ding Fan continued, "I can confirm that your cousin's primary soul has indeed been sealed."

"Brother Fan, can the seal be broken?" asked Ye Ningqing.

The primary soul is the main seat of consciousness, and if it remains sealed, wouldn't Ye Ningqing's cousin be doomed to remain in this comatose state indefinitely?

Ding Fan pondered for a moment, "Accessing the seal on your cousin's primary soul isn't too difficult, but there is one thing; we must find the person who placed the seal. A blood curse has been cast upon the seal, and only the blood of the person who created the seal can break it on your cousin's primary soul."

"But the person who attacked my cousin last night was only seen by my cousin himself, and so much time has passed since then. Finding that person now won't be so easy," Ye Ningqing said with a frown.

"It's not as difficult as it may seem. Generally, the seal on your cousin's primary soul will bear the assailant's spiritual imprint. We can track them by following the aura of that spiritual imprint," Ding Fan explained.

Ye Ningqing felt this was akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Dancheng was vast, teeming with countless people. Finding one person was nearly impossible.

Nevertheless, there were no other options. To save Mu Qiangsheng, this was the only way.

"Brother Fan, what do we do now?" Ye Ningqing asked Ding Fan.

At this moment, Ding Fan was Ye Ningqing's main source of strength. If Ding Fan wasn't here, she would likely have already been at a loss as to what to do.

"Right now, naturally, we have to find that person," Ding Fan said and looked at Ye Ningqing. "However, Ning Qing, I think you should stay in the hospital to keep watch. If there is no expert here to guard, and the person who sealed your cousin's primary soul comes back, wouldn't your cousin be in great danger?"

Ye Ningqing pondered for a moment and then nodded her head.

"Then from now on, you'll be in charge of Mu Qiangsheng's situation here, and I'll go out to find the person who sealed your cousin's primary soul," Ding Fan said.

After leaving the hospital, Ding Fan didn't go to another place; he found a coffee shop right at the hospital's entrance and settled down. After ordering a cup of coffee, he fully extended his Divine Sense and paid careful attention to the surroundings.

The main reason why Ding Fan didn't search the world for the person who sealed Mu Qiangsheng's primary soul was that he believed that anyone capable of sealing another's primary soul would generally be a person with high cultivation.

But Mu Qiangsheng didn't have any cultivation; he was just an ordinary person. The most effortless way to deal with such a person would have been to kill him outright.

However, this mysterious assailant did the opposite. Not only did they not kill Mu Qiangsheng directly, but they also used a very complicated method to seal his primary soul.

In Ding Fan's view, the assailants had put in so much effort; they definitely had other motives besides just sealing Mu Qiangsheng's primary soul.

Although Ding Fan didn't yet know their motives, he did know one thing: Having gone through so much trouble, the assailants would undoubtedly keep someone watching the situation here.

By waiting for the person who sealed Mu Qiangsheng's primary soul to come near the hospital, Ding Fan would then use his Divine Sense to identify them.

This strategy of lying in wait offered a significant advantage—it meant not having to search the world over for the person who sealed Mu Qiangsheng's primary soul.

Ding Fan had been seated in the coffee shop for about two hours, around lunchtime, when he detected a faint aura with his Divine Sense.

The aura was dark and somewhat malevolent. Ding Fan quickly recognized it; this aura was very similar to that of the person who sealed Mu Qiangsheng's primary soul.

Ding Fan then discreetly used his Divine Sense to investigate the person.

The newcomer's cultivation was not high, at a Human Level Peak. He was in his fifties, wearing a suit, and blending in with the crowd, not so easily noticed.

After the person entered the hospital and briefly wandered around, he headed directly towards Mu Qiangsheng's room.

Ding Fan had also come out of the coffee shop in good time and followed leisurely from behind, ready to act immediately to protect Mu Qiangsheng if necessary.

The man loitered around Mu Qiangsheng's room door for a while, then went to the corridor to smoke. Afterwards, he casually walked out of the hospital as if nothing happened.

At this point, Ding Fan suppressed his aura and followed closely after the man.

Upon leaving the hospital, the man found a car.

At this time of day, Ding Fan couldn't use his Wind Pursuit Technique; after all, if word got out that someone was chasing taxis with such a technique in the city, it could attract unwanted attention. Therefore, Ding Fan found another car to follow behind.

After heading north, the taxi carrying the man stopped at a small, quadrangular courtyard in the northern part of Dancheng. To avoid suspicion, Ding Fan got off his car at a distance.

After getting off the taxi, the man entered the courtyard directly.

Ding Fan pretended to stroll casually outside the courtyard while fully extending his Divine Sense.

To Ding Fan's surprise, the courtyard was protected by an Array that shielded against Divine Sense and telekinesis. His Divine Sense couldn't penetrate it.

The Arrays that blocked Divine Sense and telekinesis were formidable, and Ding Fan's Divine Sense couldn't detect anything inside.

Unable to probe with his Divine Sense, Ding Fan was in the dark about the goings-on inside.

After pondering for a while, Ding Fan made a decision; since he couldn't gather information from the inside, he might as well go in directly.

Ding Fan possessed an Invisibility Pearl. With the Invisibility Pearl in his mouth, he believed he could enter without being detected.

At that moment, Ding Fan put the Invisibility Pearl in his mouth and, after preparing himself, he found a low wall and jumped over it.

"Why didn't Young Master Qian Jun just kill the kid directly? Why turn him into a vegetable?"

"Killing him would be too boring. Young Master Qian Jun has implanted a virus in that kid's body to cultivate the virus. Once the virus is mature, the kid will become a mobile virus source. By then, once the virus spreads again, the Qian Family will make a fortune..."

Just as Ding Fan jumped into the courtyard, he heard voices coming from the western chamber.

Virus? Cultivation host? Making a fortune?!

Ding Fan's brow furrowed tightly, sensing a colossal conspiracy at play.

At the moment, Ding Fan didn't rush to act; instead, he listened quietly to the activity inside.

"Boss, you just went to the hospital; how is the virus cultivation going?" Three people were in the room, and the speaker was a man in his thirties with a scruffy beard.

"Yeah, boss, if the virus matures sooner, the brothers can take a break earlier..." said another man with thick lips in a naive tone.

"Cultivating that virus won't be so quick; without ten days or half a month, it probably won't be ready..." The one called boss was the same person Ding Fan had followed.

"That Mu Qiangsheng is really miserable. His old man has been detained for interrogation, his woman snagged by our Young Master Qian Jun, and now he has become a virus cultivation host..." the bearded man remarked.

"What can you do? He was courting death by going against Young Master Qian Jun..." The thick-lipped man chimed in.

"Alright, you two rest up in the next couple of days. Once the virus is mature in a few days, we'll be busy..."

Creak... Right after the 'boss' finished talking, the door was pushed open, and Ding Fan walked in as if he owned the place.

"You... who are you?" the bearded man was taken aback.

There were surveillance cameras outside; if someone came in, there should have been a warning. How could this man stroll in so boldly?

"What is this virus?" Ding Fan asked indifferently as he walked in.

At that moment, Ding Fan spoke calmly, as if he were merely chatting with a friend.

"I **** ask you—who are you?" the bearded man was displeased and lashed out with his foot, aiming a kick directly at Ding Fan's chest.

Ding Fan couldn't possibly let himself be kicked.

Just as the man's right foot was about to land on Ding Fan, Ding Fan caught his ankle with one hand and then exerted a slight force.

The bearded man, weighing over eighty kilograms, was hoisted single-handedly by Ding Fan and then slammed heavily to the ground.

The other two were stunned by the sight.

The bearded man, whose cultivation was at around Human Level Seventh Grade, was left unconscious by Ding Fan, who slammed him down as if throwing a small chicken.

Anyone who could do that—what level of cultivation could Ding Fan have?!

Ding Fan didn't care about the bearded man he had slammed half to death. He coldly watched the other two.

"That virus... what is it?"
