All that grey energy had injected into the middle of Zong Yuan brows after a short while. Following which that rune also started to change color, forming a pale golden “spirit” word.

Connected to the tens

All that grey energy was injected into the middle of Zong Yuan’s brow after a short while. The rune also started to change color, forming a pale golden SPIRIT character connected to the tens of spiritual tattoos running around Zong Yuan’s body. A short moment later, everything faded.

Zong Shou didn’t notice the weird atmosphere behind him, smiling as he looked at Zong Yuan.

This was a demon sect spirit controlling secret art he saw coincidentally in his last life when he was in the library.

It needed to sacrifice close to ten thousand people’s worth of Yin spiritual energy to form the run needed to control a Xiantian expert. If one had a hundred thousand people, then one could even try for a person in the Spirit Ancestor Realm.

However, Zong Shou had never tried it before, to see whether or not it was effective. First he wasn’t a spirit master and secondly he wouldn’t really go and murder ten thousand people.

He had only thought of this technique because this place was near the battlefield. Many people who died there, and their vengeful spirits hadn’t faded. Sooner or later the demon Sect would obtain them.

“That’s right, there’s also this thing! I nearly forgot, this was something a demon Sect disciple had to have…”

Zong Shou remembered about something else, flipping open his storage bag and taking out seven silver needles. They were thin as hair and the tail of the needle was like a blooming black lotus.

This was the only thing he kept from Mingjue. It was called the Seven Lotus Spirit Needle, a top class talisman artifact.

Its original use was to temporarily recruit and control high grade beasts. Zong Shou had another use for it now. He stabbed most of the Seven Lotus Spirit Needles into the hair bun, one of them he stabbed into the center of his brow. It didn’t pierce into his flesh, only piercing the skin, forming a lotus flower mark.

Actually if one talked about controlling the souls of living people, the Demon Flag Sect was the best at it. Among the items that Mingjue carried, there were numerous bugs and evil talisman artifacts.

Zong Shuo despised and was disgusted by them, directly destroying them, keeping only this Seven Lotus Spirit Needle, which was the specialty of demon Sect disciples and was simple to craft. All demon Sect disciples carried them, which was why he kept it.

When this lotus flower mark had connected into one with that pale gold SPIRIT character, Zong Shou drew with his finger and a sharp hidden power came out of his finger. It shredded all of the ropes around Zong Yuan’s body and also unlocked all the meridians in his body.

When Hu Zhongyuan saw that, his expression instantly changed and he revealed a wary intent. Zong Yuan scoffed, turning around and running without hesitation.

He had no intentions of going all out against Zong Shou. In front of him was a Martial Ancestor of five Earth meridians, and one fake pill Xiantian whose martial path was so strong that Hu Qianqiu, the second in Gantian Mountain couldn’t do anything. In front of these two he didn’t even have the ability to go all out.

As he was tied up for too long, his vital energy had accumulated in one area and his body was stiff. However his speed was still as fast as lightning, crossing three hundred feet in an instant.

Just as he ran five hundred feet, Zong Shou smiled wide as he made a hand sign and chanted out some words. He pointed his finger into the distance, “Stop for me!”

The moment he said that, Zong Yuan’s four limbs stopped and he couldn’t move. However, his forwards momentum didn’t stop, and he fell flat onto the ground.

Zong Shou snickered, changing the handsign. “Come back!”

Zong Yuan wanted to disobey, but his entire body’s strength was being controlled. His body stood up without him moving it and jumped and hopped back to Zong Shou.

His entire body wouldn’t obey him, and he could only viciously stare at Zong Shou, like his gaze could kill this cousin.

“Weird, your actions seem too stiff…” Zong Shou shook his head, as if he couldn’t understand. This demon sect mysterious art wasn’t as good as mentioned in the book. It said that one could control the person as they wished and was even more effective than on spirit beasts.

He tried to use spiritual techniques to display Zong Yuan’s Purple Lightning Spear skills. It was really awkward and not half as strong as a peak Xiantian. The rotation of his internal energy was a little too rough.

With this trial and error, Zong Shou understood. Zong Yuan’s mind and were affecting his own body. As he was unwilling to cooperation, naturally his actions wouldn’t be smooth.

Chuxue tilted her head as she looked over, and after a short while she asked curiously, “Young Master, it feels useless. When you are fighting with others, do we still have to make all these handsigns, what a bother? And with him like that, I could beat him with one finger!”

Zong Shou was also hesitating. This secret art shouldn’t be so problematic. Normally one just needed a thought to control the person. Even if one gave them instructions it wouldn’t be much worse than spirit beasts, so why would one still need to form hand signs?

Xuanyuan Yiren took in a deep breath, and was just about to say something before she stopped. Only when Zong Shou looked over did she stop hesitating. “Prince, did the technique you use come from the demon sect? Yiren has never heard that demon sect techniques could control martial cultivators with a strong will. Moreover, this technique should still need artifacts to aid in the controlling. This demon sect techniques are evil and cruel. Prince, you are the future Monster King and will have billions of people under you, killing and scheming cannot be avoided. However, it is better not to use such evil and unrighteous techniques. This Zong Yuan is, after all, your cousin. Rather than humiliating him like that, why not kill him with one sword. Since this technique can’t be used, why not let him die happily…”

Seeing Xuanyuan Yiren lecture him, Zong Shou felt his teeth starting to hurt.

Zong Yuan was really touched when he heard that and nearly broke out in tears. Miss Xuanyuan was such a good person! Gantian Mountain gaining such a female lord was such good fortune. He would rather die just like that in his current situation.

Zong Shou closed his eyes to think. That demon sect secret book he read was indeed not complete and lacked a few pages in front. Even with the addition of this Seven Lotus Spirit Needle, it couldn’t make up for it. However it wasn’t like he had no way to solve it…

After a short while, just as hope appeared in the eyes of Zong Yuan, he heard Zong Shou viciously say, “How is it useless? If he doesn’t dare to listen in the future, I’ll have him masturbate for three days and nights at the gates of Gantian Mountain City! I’ll let him wish he was dead, but still can’t die…”

When he said that, Zong Yuan fell to the ground, tears flowing down the from the corner of his eyes. It was tough for a man to cry, he only did because he was sad that he had fallen into the hands of a devil.

Hu Zhongyuan’s eyes lit up, praising, “The Prince is smart to actually have such a method. Hu Zhongyuan has learned something new. The Prince is such a talent and has such high intellect, respect respect!”

Zong Shou was astonished, glancing at him. This fellow wasn’t that good at doing things, but in terms of sucking up to the boss, he was really skilled.

Chuxue and Xuanyuan Yiren’s faces flushed red as they both shifted their eyes away.

That idea was really vicious; as long as one had some face they wouldn’t dare to go against orders.

Xuanyuan Yiren frowned, and after a short while she calmed down once more. Since Zong Yuan chose to be enemies with Zong Shou, then he naturally should bear the consequences. Although Zong Shou’s actions were too much, it was to be expected.

Although she was insistent on her ideals, she wasn’t stubborn.

Zong Shou made some hand signs once more, and Zong Yuan didn’t resist, allowing himself to be controlled like a puppet.

Zong Shou burst out laughing and released his control of Zong Yuan. The life or death of this person was still at his whim. He wasn’t afraid that Zong Yuan would run away again or try to kill himself.

Casually waving his hand and stowing all the still useful beast crystals, he then wiped away the formation. Zong Shou’s brows suddenly furrowed as he looked into the distance.

A few soldiers were charging over. They were three Xiantian Masters wearing heavy armor, riding on Windrider Foals. In just a moment they arrived in front of him. When they saw Xuanyuan Yiren, their eyes lit up.

They rode over in front of Xuanyuan Yiren and bowed, “Little Miss, City Lord’s wife is sick. I am ordered by him to ask you to return!” While he spoke, he glanced around and when he saw Zong Shou, his gaze became cold.

Xuanyuan Yiren was startled, than used an equally cold gaze to stare at Li Yunniang.

The latter shuddered and sighed. These people finally came, however they were just too late.

——

Just as Li Yunniang sighed, not far away in the clouds where Zong Shou couldn’t sense, an old voice was also filled with emotions.

“That sword really gives off a lot of rhythm and feeling. Even after a day I can’t forget it. What a ‘someone who knows how to attack is stronger than the heavens’, no wonder that Hu Qianqiu lost to him. Thinking about it, the sword really flew above the heavens, totally unrestrained, traceless and indiscernible. It is really extraordinary…”

When he said those words, Yan Fan was thinking back, like he was immersed in a sort of dream.

“Thinking about this, the aura of his sword is similar to my Wujue Villa’s Hundred Spirit Pinnacle Sword, it is a perfect fit. As long as he cultivates it slightly, he will have great attainments in it…”

Although they were in the sky, within the cloud layer, there were tables and chairs, everything was prepared.

Opposite Yan Fan was that Taiyuan Fairy Shui Lingbo, who was laughing coldly.

“How shameless! You say that he is suitable to train in your Hundred Spirit Pinnacle Sword. With his sword path talents, which sword technique can’t he reach the top in?”

Yan Fan laughed, opening one eye, “The Fairy still hasn’t given up? He was willing to pay so much to save millions, we can see he is really kind and is someone from my path!”

“Kind? He only did so casually and you said that he is kind? If that is really the case, he wouldn’t have learned that type of evil sword technique!”

Originally she wanted to retort, but she became more and more excited, her eyes lighting up, “He kills without blinking; his thoughts are careful and can’t be seen through; he is vicious and his heart realm is perfect for my Common People Path!”

“Your words are wrong!” Yan Fan shook his head, “He knew that those slaves would die. Even then he didn’t hesitate to help them out, so what can we tell about his personality? How is such a kid suitable for your Common People Path? As for that sword technique…”

of spiritual tattoos which ran around Zong Yuan’s body. However a short moment later everything faded.

Zong Shou didn’t notice the weird atmosphere behind him, smiling as he looked at Zong Yuan’s body.

This was a demon Sect spirit controlling secret art he saw coincidentally in the last life when he was in the library.

It needed close to ten thousand people worth of Ying spiritual energy to form the run needed to control a xiantian expert. If one had 100 thousand people, then one could even try for a person in the spirit ancestor realm.

However Zong Shou had never tried it before to see whether or not it was effective. Firstly he wasn’t a spirit mast and secondly her wouldn’t really go and murder ten thousand people.

Only because this place was near to the battlefield which was why he thought of this technique. Anyways there were so many people who died there and their vengeful spirits hadn’t faded. Sooner or later the demon Sect would obtain them.

“That’s right, there’s also this thing! I nearly forgot, this was something demon Sect disciple had to have…”

And when this lotus flower mark had connected into one with that pale gold spirit word, Zong Shou drew with his finger and a sharp hidden power deeper out of his finger. It shredded all of the ropes around Zong Yuan’s body and also unlocked all the meridians between his body.

He had no intentions of going all out against Zong Shou.

His entire body couldn’t move and he could only viciously stare at Zong Shou like his gaze could kill this cousin.

“Weird, your actions seem too stiff…”

Zong Shou shook his head as he couldn’t understand. It was like this demon sect mysterious art wasn’t as good as mentioned in the book. It said that one could control the person as they wished and was even more sentient and effective than spirit beasts.

He tried to use spiritual techniques to command Zong Yuan to display his purple lightning spear skills. However it was really awkward and it wasn’t half as strong as a peak xiantian to be. The rotation of his internal energy was a little too rough.

With this trial and error, Zong Shou barely understood. Zong Yuan’s mind and will was useful towards his own body. As he was unwilling to cooperation, naturally his actions wouldn’t be smooth.

Chuxue tilted her head as she looked over, after a short while she asked curiously,”Young master it feels useless. When you fight with others do we still have to make all these handsigns, what a bother? And with him like that I can beat him with one finger!”
