270: Chapter 270 Reluctant Submission, Eight Doors

"Good. Open your mind. I must place a restriction on your soul to prevent you from betraying me in the future!" Hun Tiandi said coldly.

"Very well!" Facing the extremely overbearing Hun Tiandi, Tie Wu had no choice but to compromise.

After all, his life was now in someone else's hands. Tie Wu took a deep breath, bitterness filling his heart; it was all caused by his own greed.

He never expected that this attempt to gain an advantage would backfire so badly, actually getting himself trapped.

Resist? That was out of the question.

That Old Yue who resisted only had half a life left, still struggling within the black-purple energy flow!

Tie Wu opened his mind, allowing Hun Tiandi to place the Blood Spirit Seal restriction within his soul.

Upon casting the Blood Spirit Seal, a force of soul law, guided by Hun Tiandi, instantly established a master-servant soul connection with Tie Wu.

Only after the Blood Spirit Seal was completed did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The moment it was completed, Tie Wu's expression shifted slightly as he felt a force of law descend and merge into his soul.

The last shred of hope in his heart—that he might find a master skilled in soul arts to remove the soul restriction later—was now shattered.

After it succeeded, Hun Tiandi transmitted a stream of information to Tie Wu, who immediately understood the horror of the Blood Spirit Seal.

Had he known it would be like this, he would rather have died than become a slave.

Now that the matter was settled and the deed was done, if Hun Tiandi were to die, the restriction in his soul would erupt.

Unless a Dou Di personally intervened, he would undoubtedly die.

However, Hun Tiandi's strength would also increase. Once he reached the level of a Dou Di, even if another Dou Di intervened, it would be useless.

"I pay my respects to Master!" After realizing the horror of the Blood Spirit Seal, Tie Wu felt bitter, but he had no other choice.

He could only follow Hun Tiandi down this path to the end.

A trace of appreciation flashed in Hun Tiandi's eyes; he had not expected this big man to change his stance so quickly.

"Rest assured, as my subordinate, I will not treat you poorly. For now, heal your injuries!" Hun Tiandi smiled, waving his large sleeve, and a bottle of spirit wine landed in front of Tie Wu.

"Thank you, Master!"

Tie Wu was overjoyed. So, Master still had spirit wine; wouldn't he have an endless supply in the future? The last trace of resentment in his heart vanished.

"I am also willing to submit!" Su Mei of the Rakshasa Sect bowed respectfully.

There was no other way; being proactive might still leave a good impression. If she refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, the consequences would be...

Puchi!

As Hun Tiandi branded Su Mei with the Blood Spirit Seal, a pu sound erupted, and Old Yue was actually refined alive into a ball of blood mist, merging into the black-purple energy flow to transform and grow stronger.

Immediately, an illusory soul body manifested, and the banner erupted with a devouring force, causing Old Yue's soul body to be swallowed by the ten thousand soul banner.

The black-purple energy surged, and the demonic artifact's might was monstrous.

After Old Yue died, the experts who witnessed this scene with their own eyes felt their legs go weak, and they immediately submitted one after another.

After an hour, all the experts who had entered the Time Tower had submitted.

During this time, Manager Zhang, who had handled the final handover at the Heiyin Auction House, was somewhat unconvinced.

Finally, Hun Tiandi gave the order, and Yan Xing directly twisted Manager Zhang's neck to let him reflect properly.

"Hmph, Yun Tian, what is the meaning of this? Do you intend to start a war with my Heavenly Serpent Mansion?" Elder Green Snake's expression changed drastically when she saw everyone else submit, leaving only the people from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

She scolded, appearing fierce but inwardly terrified.

Slap!

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi sneered. He swung his right arm in a full circle and slapped Elder Green Snake on her fair and alluring cheek. With a loud boom, the side of her face swelled up.

This slap showed absolutely no mercy; there was no possibility of him being gentle with her.

"Hmph, there are no special privileges for women here. The Heavenly Serpent Mansion? If you want to start a war, then let's start a war!"

Hun Tiandi coldly berated her. This slap had stunned Elder Green Snake. Previously, when walking through the Black-Corner Region, people would give some face upon hearing the name of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

But this young man was just a bastard, Elder Green Snake thought, ashamed and angry.

"Elder Green Snake, what should we do? If we don't submit, we will die today!"

"Only by living is there a chance!" a green-clad woman beside her advised.

Now she finally understood: if they didn't agree, it would be their death day.

"I am willing to submit!" Elder Green Snake yielded.

Hun Tiandi nodded with satisfaction and planted the Blood Spirit Seal on the experts of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. He was overjoyed, not expecting this plan to be so successful.

"Everyone, since you have submitted, I will certainly not be stingy. Liu Ling, distribute the healing pills and spirit wine!"

Hun Tiandi said indifferently.

"Stay here and cultivate to heal your injuries! Strive to recover as soon as possible. Once your injuries are healed, I have other matters for you to attend to!"

Hun Tiandi spoke slowly, then arranged for Venerable Qing Feng and Venerable Qingyang to watch over them.

"Yes, Master!" The group responded, then each found a place to sit cross-legged and cultivate.

Hun Tiandi opened the tower door and walked out slowly. He believed that with the help of the healing pills and spirit wine, these people's injuries would soon be fully healed.

Then he would implement the next step: to conquer the Black-Corner Region in one fell swoop.

Only by taking the Black-Corner Region as a base could Hun Tiandi's subsequent plans be realized.

With the Blood Spirit Seal in hand, Hun Tiandi's power would grow larger like a snowball. He only needed to take the first step, and the rest would be much simpler.

Eight Gates!

"Has Manager Zhang returned?" Yuan Yi, City Lord of the Eight Gates, asked coldly while drinking tea on the top floor of the auction house.

"Father, he has not returned yet. Could something have happened?" Yuan Tian asked slowly.

It must be. It's not just us from the Eight Gates who have their eyes on Yun Tian; many powerful forces in the Black-Corner Region are targeting him.

Whether it is his immense financial resources or the method of brewing spirit wine, for all parties in the Black-Corner Region, these are reasons to intercept and kill him.

The Mad Lion Gang, the Rakshasa Sect, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion—but actually, the most terrifying one is the Xiao Sect.

Behind the Xiao Sect, there is not only the support of Jia Nan Academy but also the shadow of the Flame Alliance.

Xiao Yujie is a member of the Xiao Family, which is a behemoth; the strength behind it is unfathomable.

Water Pavilion Courtyard.

"Teacher, now that we have subdued many experts, which force should we choose to act against next?" Hun Tiandi asked quietly while drinking tea.

"Hehe, don't you already have the answer in your heart..." Elder Dan smiled slightly while drinking tea.

"Eight Gates, Yuan Yi, City Lord!" Hun Tiandi said indifferently, a trace of killing intent in his tone.

He hadn't expected this Yuan Yi, City Lord to be such a ruthless character. Since he struck first, he shouldn't blame him for acting after but arriving first.

"Yan Xing, take Manager Zhang's corpse and come with me!" Hun Tiandi said coldly.

"Yes, Master!" Afterward, Yan Xing returned to the Bronze Tower, carrying Manager Zhang's corpse, followed by nine Human Puppets.

They soared into the high sky and disappeared.

Heiyin Auction House!

Boom...

Yan Xing waved his large hand, and Manager Zhang's corpse descended from the sky, smashing through the roof of the top floor and landing in the room where Yuan Yi, City Lord was drinking tea.

"This is Manager Zhang's corpse. Something happened?" Yuan Yi, City Lord stood up abruptly, killing aura radiating from his body.

"Who dares to come to the Eight Gates to provoke us!" Yuan Tian scolded sternly.

Yuan Yi, City Lord floated in mid-air, coldly staring at the young man in green robes before him, and said angrily: "It was you who killed the people of my Eight Gates."

"Yuan Yi, City Lord, it was you who ordered Manager Zhang to follow me, wanting to seize the items on my person, right!"

Hun Tiandi said indifferently.

"Absolutely impossible! My Eight Gates manages the Heiyin Auction House and values reputation above all else. We would not engage in the business of killing people and seizing goods!"

Yuan Yi, City Lord of the Eight Gates, was inwardly shocked. This young man was indeed clever.
