Chapter 503: Soul-Vanquishing Slave Seal, A Call From Shang Qingxue

“It’s time to put an end to this game.”

Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly. Following that, he raised his arm, and sword qi began to manifest.

The sword qi burst out, and the incredibly sharp purple sword ray threatened to tear the void apart.

The Seven-colored Swordsmen widened their eyes at the sight of that.

“This sword qi is too powerful. There’s no way we can fight it!”

“He hasn’t even unleashed his full power yet. He has been toying with us all this while. It’s like… a game for him?!!”

The sword rays flew toward them at dashing speed. In the blink of an eye, they hit the Seven-colored Swordsmen’s bodies, and seven puffs of blood mists exploded into the air.

The Seven-colored Swordsmen had crestfallen.

Chu Kuangren then turned his gaze to the remaining people who came with the Seven-colored Swordsmen, such as Zhang Clan Leader and a few others.

He looked at them indifferently, as though they were puny ants.

Zhang Clan Leader and the others’ faces suddenly turned extremely pale.

“Please… have mercy on us.”

“We won’t dare to do it again. We were forced by the Sword Tribe to do all this!”

Chu Kuangren did not respond. With a lift of his arm, runes began to appear and formed several rings, which encircled them within.

This was an extremely high-leveled Runic Binding Technique. Once tied in it, it would be near impossible to break free from it unless they were stronger than Chu Kuangren.

“I’ll leave these few for you to handle. As for me, I think it’s about time I leave. Since we now know that the Sword Tribe’s target is the Divine Emerald Lamp, you guys can feel free to let the word out that I have snatched the Divine Emerald Lamp away. I trust that they won’t trouble you about it any further. After all, dignity is still important to a great orthodoxy.”

Chu Kuangren said calmly.

The Wu clan people exchanged glances with each other.

“Thank you so much, Brother Chu.” Wu Clan Leader made a fist salute and thanked him.

“Don’t mention it. I’ve taken your Emperor Weapon anyway, so I’m not exactly on the losing side here.”

He and the Sword Tribe’s Sword Daoist both had the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart. Seeing that Sword Daoist had sent his people here to snatch this treasure without any hesitation, it was obvious from the way he did things that he would not let his Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart counterpart, Chu Kuangren, off the hook so easily. Moreover, the Race to Emperorship was currently on, so the two of them would surely face off in a battle eventually.

Since that was the case, Chu Kuangren did not mind getting marked, or even hunted down, by this adversary of his.

In any case, he got to earn an Emperor Weapon.

It was a win for him in any way.

Chu Kuangren suddenly felt that he had quite the qualities of a great businessman.

Wu Clan Leader could only manage a bitter smile at that, as he struggled to find a rebuttal to his proposal.

The Divine Emerald Lamp had brought more catastrophe than prosperity to them, so they could only hand it over to Chu Kuangren.

“If that is all, we wish you a safe journey, Brother Chu.”

“Yes, hopefully, we’ll cross paths again one day.”

Chu Kuangren glanced toward the end of the Emperor Road and took a stride forward. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from their sights.

“Clan Leader, what do we do with these guys?”

A Wu Clan Elder looked at Zhang Clan Leader and his associates and asked. These people had been bound by Chu Kuangren’s sword qi, and they had no means of resisting. Hence, they laid down on the ground like mere mortals. Upon hearing the Wu Clan Elder’s words, they hurriedly looked toward Wu Clan Leader. Forgoing all of their egos, they immediately begged for mercy.

Wu Clan Head stared at those few people on the ground and said coldly, “These people know of the deal we made with Chu Kuangren. If we let them out there and they spread this news, the Sword Tribe will surely come back to destroy us. Hence… we shall kill them all!”

“Alright.” Without hesitating further, the Wu Clan Elder immediately killed those people off on the spot.

…

“Answer if you hear this. Answer if you hear this…”

On his way, Chu Kuangren kept contacting Black Heaven Sect’s several Daoists using his communication compass.

However, none of them responded.

There were only two possibilities to this. Firstly, the distance between them was too far apart. Secondly, his call was blocked off by some sort of energy.

It was just like how Chu Kuangren could not contact the Black Heaven Sect from his current location at the Emperor Road because both places were situated on two different dimensions.

Two days later.

“Congratulations, Host. You’ve drawn a Legendary-tier Emperor Technique, the Soul-Vanquishing Slave Seal!

Chu Kuangren obtained an Emperor Technique from the gacha roll while he was on a mountain.

Emperor Techniques usually did not excite him much as he already had tons of Emperor Techniques in his arsenal.

In this year alone, he had drawn over several of them.

Nevertheless, the Emperor Technique that he had gotten this time was a little different.

It was an Emperor Technique that could be used on souls!

The soul has always been one of the most mysterious domains in the cultivation world. Even Emperors would seldom reach far in this domain.

The name of Soul-Vanquishing Slave Seal sounded quite wicked, but its usage was even more so.

This Emperor Technique could be used to control people!

This would grant him the ability to plant a slave seal within a cultivator’s soul, and from thereon, he could assume complete control over the cultivator’s life and death!!

Other than this, this slave seal could influence and manipulate the victim’s mind, rendering him or her more submissive towards its caster’s commands.

“No wonder it’s called a slave seal. Cultivators who are planted with this slave seal would become almost like a slave.”

Chu Kuangren exclaimed in amazement.

He then claimed and withdrew this Emperor Technique.

At that moment, a low grumble was heard from not far away, and a beast was seen lunging in his way.

This beast’s combat strength was only at an Honorable level, so it was no threat to him. With a flicker of his mind, an invisible mind power surged out, pressing the beast firmly onto the ground.

“Just in time. I can use you to try out my new Soul-Vanquishing Slave Seal.”

The edge of Chu Kuangren’s lips raised.

Meanwhile, that wolf-formed beast growled insecurely opposite him. It could see the fierceness and hostility in Chu Kuangren’s eyes.

“Slave seal, bind!”

Chu Kuangren thrust out a sword finger sign, and a gush of spiritual power jetted out from his fingertip, striking at the top of the beast’s head.

This spiritual power was incredibly mystical. As it plunged deep into the beast’s mind, it pierced right through its soul and finally transformed into a gold-colored word, ‘slave’!

Moments later.

The bestial instinct in the beast’s eyes gradually disappeared. It slouched down tamely by Chu Kuangren’s side and stuck out its tongue to lick on his shoes. It was as tame as a little pug.

“The effect of this slave seal is stronger than I imagined.”

Chu Kuangren said as his eyes lit up.

If he could use this Soul-Vanquishing Slave Seal well, it would surely be a good utility for him in the future.

Right when Chu Kuangren was still admiring the Soul-Vanquishing Slave Seal’s greatness, the communication compass in his arms suddenly vibrated.

“Eh? Someone got back to me?”

Chu Kuangren injected his spiritual power into the compass, where a voice came through.

“Sect Leader, Sect Leader. Can you hear me?”

It was Shang Qingxue’s voice.

“I hear you, Qingxue. Where are you currently at?”

“Sect Leader, I don’t know myself too. There’s snow all around me. It looks like I’m… underneath a lake?”

“Looks like?”

“Yes. It seems that I’m trapped inside a strange spatial dimension. Above me is a body of lake water.”

“Apart from that, is there anything else that is unique to the place you’re in?”

“Frost-type energy waves. This place is filled with incredibly strong Frost-type energy waves. It’s so cold.”

Cold?

Chu Kuangren could not help but frown at that.

Shang Qingxue had the Deep Freeze Physique, so the fact that she felt cold meant that the freezing qi there must be strong.

“Qingxue, stay where you are and don’t do anything for now. Take care of yourself. I’ll rush to you as fast as I can. We’ll keep in touch.”

“Copy.”

After ending the call, Chu Kuangren pondered deeply.

Underneath a lake, Frost-type energy waves… What kind of place was that?

“Let me find a place to settle down first, and then I’ll continue to investigate.”

After that, Chu Kuangren scanned the area with his spiritual thought. Once he located a fort approximately twenty kilometers out, he immediately moved toward that place.
