355: A dog leash! The celestial messenger turned into a dead dog!

"No! You can't do this to me!"

Lin Yu's roar became sharp and distorted, no longer sounding like human speech, but the final wail of a dying beast.

He exerted all his strength, his Divine Soul burning as he tried to shake off those invisible shackles.

But all his struggles were merely futile spasms.

[Oh, quite energetic, aren't we?]

[It seems Red Hair was a bit too light with his strikes earlier; he didn't beat the defiance out of him.]

[But it doesn't matter. Once the collar is on, with a little more training, he'll surely become an obedient dog.]

Su Chen completely ignored his roars.

His face still wore that same warm smile that was chilling to the bone.

Holding the dazzling golden "Monster-Binding Rope," he walked toward Lin Yu step by step, unhurriedly.

The sound of the metal chain dragging across the white jade floor echoed once, and then again.

"Shhh... shhh..."

The sound wasn't loud, yet it pierced clearly into the ears of everyone present, striking against their hearts.

Every sound was like the Grim Reaper counting down for Lin Yu.

Above the plaza, there was a deathly silence.

Everyone's eyes were wide, some even forgetting to breathe, as they stared fixedly at this world-shattering scene.

That was once the Upper Realm Immortal Envoy who dominated the life and death of billions.

Now, he was about to be put on a dog leash.

Ji Hongxue stood in the center of the plaza, watching Su Chen's posture, which was more leisurely than a stroll in his own back garden; deep within her cold phoenix eyes, emotions surged.

There was the satisfaction of a great grudge being avenged.

And also... a hint of being caught between laughter and tears that she hadn't even noticed herself.

This bastard could always use the most wicked and effective methods to crush an enemy's dignity.

"Kill me! If you have the guts, then kill me!"

Lin Yu completely gave up on struggling and instead roared in a hoarse voice, resorting to the most powerless form of provocation.

Death was the only shred of dignity he could hope for at this moment.

"Kill you?"

Su Chen came to a stop in front of him, slightly lowering his gaze to look down at him.

He smiled.

There was no anger in that smile, no killing intent, only the boredom of watching an ant struggle.

"No, no, no, you've got it wrong again."

Su Chen extended a finger and shook it gently.

"Killing you would be too easy."

"And it would be such a waste."

"After all, you're a 'rare specimen' from the Upper Realm. Wouldn't it be a waste of a precious resource to just dispose of you like that?"

"You..."

Blood rushed to Lin Yu's heart, and a sweet taste filled his throat; he was actually so infuriated by those words that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Su Chen stopped looking at him and focused on lifting the Monster-Binding Rope, measuring it against Lin Yu's neck.

Like a meticulous craftsman gauging the dimensions of his work.

"Hmm, the size is just right."

He nodded in satisfaction.

In the next moment, under the gaze of Lin Yu's bloodshot, completely ashen pupils.

Su Chen casually loosened his wrist.

The Monster-Binding Rope seemed to be endowed with life, turning into a streak of golden lightning that flew out on its own. With a "whoosh," it accurately coiled around Lin Yu's neck.

"Click."

A very faint sound of a latch locking rang out.

Yet it pronounced the social death of an Immortal Envoy.

The Monster-Binding Rope automatically tightened, and complex runes instantly lit up, surging into Lin Yu's body like a tide, completely sealing his entire cultivation, spiritual body, and even his Divine Soul.

From this moment on.

He was no longer Lin Yu.

He was merely a piece of private property that could breathe.

Su Chen clapped his hands in satisfaction and grabbed the other end of the chain.

Then, he gave it a gentle tug.

"Thud!"

Lin Yu could no longer maintain his standing posture. His knees buckled, and his kneecaps collided with the white jade tiles with a dull crack, leaving him kneeling miserably at Su Chen's feet.

"How does it feel?"

Su Chen held the chain, looking down at him with a beaming smile.

"Does this collar fit well?"

"Ah—!"

Lin Yu suddenly looked up, his handsome face distorted into a mess by extreme humiliation, as he let out the most venomous and powerless howl of his life.

He couldn't even manage to self-detonate.

The power of the Monster-Binding Rope had cut off all his options.

He had become a true plaything.

"Very good, it seems you like it very much."

Su Chen was very satisfied with his reaction and nodded.

He led his new pet and turned around, preparing to return to the nine heavens vessel.

It was as if his condescending descent from the ship was truly just to collect such a dog.

Just then.

Several voices full of flattery and fear came from that dilapidated golden Immortal Ship.

"Di... Your Highness the Divine Son! Spare our lives!"

The other Disciples of the Xuantian Immortal Sect scrambled down from the ship.

The moment they landed, they prostrated themselves without hesitation, kowtowing frantically toward Su Chen's back.

"Your Highness the Divine Son, spare us! We were all coerced by this beast Lin Yu!"

"We draw a clear line with him! We are willing to abandon the darkness for the light and serve Your Highness like cattle or horses!"

"We beg Your Highness the Divine Son to also give us a chance to be your dogs! We swear, we'll definitely be more obedient than him!"

In order to survive, they pointed at the kneeling Lin Yu, using the most vicious words in the world to distance themselves.

Su Chen stopped his pace.

He turned back and looked with interest at these fellows who were kowtowing like they were pounding garlic.

Then he looked down at the Lin Yu he was holding, who had already fainted from rage.

He rubbed his chin, falling into serious thought.

[Hmm? These few dogs seem to be a bit more obedient than the one in my hand.]

[Should I... swap them out?]

"Pfft—!"

Lin Yu, who had just woken up for a split second, clearly heard the betrayal of his fellow Disciples and felt Su Chen's playful gaze; the last string in his heart snapped completely.

His vision went dark from anger, and he spat out another large mouthful of heart-blood before fainting away completely.
