152: Soul enslavement

Chu Yuan knew the other party was in a rush, but he hadn't expected them to be this desperate.

His behavior was akin to: breaking into someone's courtyard to steal melons, and beating up someone's child's mother...

"Old Ghost, you're suffocating, aren't you?" Chu Yuan sneered, his gaze deep.

Without him making a single move, the overwhelming mass of mist suddenly froze in mid-air!

It churned violently, and a wisp of demonic light leaked from within...

"Human Race!" Meng Yue howled in agony. His consciousness was sinking, and he could no longer control his own body!

A Mental Energy of incredibly high essence had, without him knowing when, fused with his body!

When did this happen?

He remembered, it was the exact moment the grand formation was detonated.

In that split second, he had sensed a trace of anomaly, but his mind had been clouded by rage...

Chu Yuan clenched his hands tightly, his fingernails almost digging into his flesh.

What he was channeling now was not the Glazed Void Domain, but an attack method he had created himself by comprehending the Soul Law and combining it with Zhao Zheng's cultivation notes.

Or rather, it couldn't even be called an attack method; it was enslavement...

A profound and mysterious symbol gradually condensed and then faded within the mist.

Meng Yue discovered with horror that although Chu Yuan's attraction to him hadn't diminished in the slightest, he no longer dared to harbor the thought of devouring Chu Yuan!

It even felt as if he should treat Chu Yuan as his master, needing to serve him wholeheartedly!

Soul Enslavement?

Of course, the creature was no stranger to such methods, but he had never imagined that one day such a thing would happen to him.

This Human Race, even if his aura had just improved, was in his perception nothing more than the level of the Sixth Realm... How could he possibly do this!?

An unprecedented crisis loomed over Meng Yue's heart, and he struggled even more violently...

Chu Yuan pondered for a moment. The power of the Soul Law was indeed very strong.

But it was not enough to enslave a Seventh Realm creature in such a short time, even if it were a creature with a restraining relationship.

Perhaps, in the future, when his comprehension of the Soul Law was deeper, he could achieve it, but not now.

He took out an Epiphyllum Lure and swallowed it without hesitation!

The fierce medicinal power exploded within his body instantly...

...

"Hm?"

On a battlefield of ruined walls and broken pillars, the creature clad in heavy armor felt puzzled.

A moment ago, Meng Yue was begging him for help, his words urgent... but the next moment, he said it was fine?

This was very wrong. Meng Yue absolutely did not have the guts to toy with him.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to temporarily give up his cultivation to go and see what was going on.

In the Soldier Soul Profound Realm, his Seventh Realm subordinates were few and quite precious.

Although he was very strong, if he didn't have those subordinates, he would have to personally handle trivial matters like collecting Souls, extracting Mental Energy, or even mining.

Taking a step forward, the sound of armor clashing rang out and faded into the distance...

...

"Meng Yue."

"My Lord!"

"What happened? Withered Eye City..." He remembered that this place used to be a city, right? How had it turned into a giant crater now?

Residual waves were still drifting in the Void Realm; one could perceive that a fierce battle had taken place here before...

The mist trembled twice, and Meng Yue's tone seemed somewhat ashamed: "My Lord, this subordinate is incompetent, resulting in the destruction of Withered Eye City... I ask for your punishment, My Lord!"

"Was there a Seventh Realm?"

"No... but a Human Race carried a token containing a strike from Xing Zhao. This subordinate was careless for a moment and was injured by it.

Even Withered Eye City was destroyed..."

Xing Zhao was the Legion Commander of the Great Qin's First Legion. Two points of scarlet light ignited beneath the heavy-armored creature's visor, seemingly furious.

But soon, they dimmed as if in resignation.

He could barely afford to provoke the First Legion, but he could not afford to provoke the Human Race.

The Soldier Soul Profound Realm survived in the cracks between the First Legion and the Nightmare Insect Clan by relying on his usual wisdom.

"Since it was Xing Zhao, then I cannot blame you...

It is just, why report it only now?"

Clearly, when it was time for tribute yesterday, Meng Yue had returned to resolve this matter, yet he had dragged it out until the next day?

"These Human Race seem to have quite a background, their methods are endless, and this subordinate... this subordinate was exhausted by them for too long."

"..."

Meng Yue's reason was somewhat far-fetched.

Even if he didn't report it to him, Meng Yue could have completely asked other Seventh Realm creatures for help... Was he embarrassed? Or was there some benefit on those Human Race that Meng Yue didn't want to share, so he didn't mind wasting time this time...

"Where are those Human Race?"

"A batch escaped yesterday, and those who stayed behind to cover the retreat were eaten by me."

The heavy-armored creature was a bit speechless at Meng Yue, but still said: "The city is destroyed, just rebuild it. I will notify the others to share some living beings with you... Just, let this be the only time."

"Thank you for your understanding, My Lord!" Meng Yue said gratefully.

"Hm." The heavy-armored creature responded, his gaze suddenly falling on the dull-looking humanoid creature on the ground.

The other party's aura was Fifth Realm, their intelligence seemed developed, yet they looked somewhat foolish... That wasn't the point; the point was, this creature gave him a special feeling...

It was faint and elusive, somewhat hard to describe.

He was just about to ask Meng Yue for this creature when he heard Meng Yue say: "My Lord, this is the only surviving clansman of Withered Eye City, and he was also seriously injured in the attack by the Human Race.

I intend to take him as my retainer to assist me in rebuilding the city... Yuan Chu, why aren't you paying respects to My Lord!?"

The creature below was exactly what Chu Yuan had transformed into!

The illusion demon silk, which hadn't been useful until now, finally performed a great service today!

He had indeed had an element of gambling... He didn't doubt the Rank of the illusion demon silk, but could it conceal the fatal attraction he had to creatures?

But looking at it now, the gamble had paid off!

The master of the Soldier Soul Profound Realm seemed to have detected a tiny bit of his uniqueness, but that was all...

Hearing Meng Yue's words, Chu Yuan inwardly rolled his eyes.

How would he know any etiquette between creatures?

Otherwise, why pretend to be a fool?

Let alone the etiquette between creatures, he didn't even know the basic skills of such creatures, like separating and re-aggregating the body.

What the illusion demon silk created was, after all, just an illusion...

"My Lord, he seems to have injured his consciousness..." Meng Yue said awkwardly.

The heavy-armored creature seemed to lose interest, inwardly telling himself he had overthought it.

A most ordinary low-level clansman, silly and dull, what could be special about him?

Since he had already been taken as a retainer by his subordinate, he was unwilling to force a request for him; there was no other reason, it was just embarrassing...

Meng Yue hurriedly steered the topic in another direction:

"My Lord, the Human Race who came to cause trouble this time, it seems they were here to rescue someone?

The person being rescued must have a huge background! That's why even Xing Zhao secretly took action! I see you are not surprised? Could it be that you knew about this long ago?"

"Hm... I do know a little.

There is one point you got wrong. The one being rescued is just their sinner Martial Artist; it doesn't count as having any background.

The real reason is a Secret Realm..."

"What precious Secret Realm would make them go to such great lengths?"

"It has to do with the Law of Time..."
