676: The knife in Su Lie's hand! Please let us become your subordinates!
"Uh..."
Moon Thousand Blades frowned and turned her head to look at Xian Yuan and the other caravan captains again, a flicker of killing intent and doubt stirring in her eyes.
Yue Ling, standing nearby, asked with a grin, "Supreme Expert Thousand Blades! Were you sent here to be the blade in my husband's hand? Or... are you just here to play?"
Su Lie stood with his hands behind his back, saying nothing.
He was waiting.
Waiting for Moon Thousand Blades to act.
At this moment.
The caravans of the seven major merchant groups had been completely wiped out within the inn.
The one who had struck was none other than Bai Miaoyin.
Yue Ling's words caused cold sweat to break out on Xian Yuan and the others.
They hurriedly walked out together.
"Senior Moon! Don't forget! You represent the Moon Snake Clan!"
"If you dare to kill us, from this day forward, you won't be able to buy a single item in the Myriad Races of the Heavens!"
"The Moon Snake Clan will also be implicated!"
"I hope you will consider this carefully!"
"Senior Moon, we are all members of the Myriad Races of the Heavens; you cannot offend the major races of the heavens for the sake of a mere human who is destined to die!"
"We may die, but you will definitely be on a path to death as well!"
"Trading our lives for yours is worth it!"
...
The seven of them struggled, one after another, speaking in turn.
Seeing the hesitation in Moon Thousand Blades' eyes, they felt a slight sense of relief.
"Haa!"
Moon Thousand Blades exhaled. She looked at the seven caravan captains before her and smiled faintly. "How I, Moon Thousand Blades, act does not require your guidance! And it certainly does not require your threats!"
"Besides!"
"From today on, I, Moon Thousand Blades, have severed my ties with the Moon Snake Clan!"
"I am now Su Lie's person!"
When this last sentence was spoken.
The expressions of the seven caravan captains changed, and they exchanged sharp glances.
Then, they all hurriedly used teleportation-type Skills and items.
Hum!
The space in the great hall trembled slightly.
Everyone's power was released, but it had no effect.
"What is going on?"
Xian Yuan and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly turned to look at Moon Thousand Blades.
Hum!
At this moment, countless rays of light appeared in their vision.
The bright silver radiance transformed into countless blade beams.
In the blink of an eye.
The seven caravan captains had been hacked into pulp.
Plop!
Moon Thousand Blades turned to look at Yue Ling, a flash of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Immediately after.
She passed by Yue Ling and looked at Su Lie. "Su Lie!..."
"What did you call him?"
At this moment, a cold voice reached Moon Thousand Blades' ears.
Moon Thousand Blades, who had been filled with myriad dissatisfactions, couldn't help but shudder. Feeling a chill run through her entire body, she realized in an instant that this was Bai Miaoyin expressing her dissatisfaction with her.
Moon Thousand Blades responded mentally, "Ancestor! What is this?"
"He is my husband! What do you think you should call him?"
Bai Miaoyin's cold voice rang out again.
Moon Thousand Blades' eyes widened in shock, and she said with difficulty, "Ancestor!"
"Hmm! You have great Talent, but your brain is a bit dull! Moon Rabbit arranged for you to come here to be the blade in Su Lie's hand! To be my substitute!"
Bai Miaoyin's voice rang out again: "Therefore, whoever Su Lie tells you to kill, do not have any doubts next time! Just kill them directly!"
"If a Supreme Expert attacks, I will naturally step in to help!"
"Also!"
"Do not call Su Lie 'Ancestor' directly!"
"Just address him as Mr. Su!"
...
After Bai Miaoyin's voice faded.
Moon Thousand Blades finally truly understood the words Moon Rabbit had told her when she arrived.
At the time, she had thought it was a joke, but she hadn't expected it to be true.
In the flash of a thought.
The two had completed their exchange.
While it seemed long, it had actually only taken two or three seconds.
Clatter!
Moon Thousand Blades bowed to Su Lie. "Apologies! Mr. Su! I was dull-witted! I did not know your preferences! Next time! Please rest assured! When you say you want to eat something, my blade will definitely be faster than my brain!"
Su Lie knew that Moon Thousand Blades had conceded, and he truly drew a conclusion from this: "Could Bai Miaoyin be that invincible ancestor of the Moon Snake Clan? Her status is even higher than Moon Rabbit's!"
"Otherwise!"
"How could a Supreme Expert like Moon Thousand Blades be willing to draw her blade for me just because of a single word from Yue Ling!"
"However!"
"This blade is truly sharp!"
His gaze turned to the ground not far away, covered in minced meat.
These seven caravan captains were all Professionals who possessed immortality.
After being killed by Moon Thousand Blades, they didn't even have a chance to revive.
Is this the terror of a Supreme Expert?
"Looking at it this way, Uranos of the Giant Temple from back then... doesn't seem very strong!"
Su Lie thought of some past events.
Immediately.
He smiled and said to Moon Thousand Blades, "Thank you for this time, Senior! As for their threats, you need not worry!"
"If you have anything that needs refining, you can come to me!"
"I might not be good at other things, but my treasure refining critical hit multiplier will definitely make you feel it's worth it!"
As he spoke.
He turned his head and said to Yue Ling, "Ling'er! Senior Thousand Blades hasn't met Miaoyin yet, right? You two go to the Gourd Garden to meet Miaoyin first. Tonight... I will go over there after I finish my mission!"
"Mm!"
Yue Ling winked at Su Lie before leading Moon Thousand Blades out of the City Lord's mansion hall.
As soon as they left.
Su Lie raised his hand and grabbed.
The blood clots, blood, and other stains on the ground were directly converted into Xuanhuang Points by him using the consumption rules of his Xuanhuang Talent.
"Huh? This power is so strong! It actually increased my three major Xuanhuang attributes by an average of 1 million points! Good! Good! Good!"
Soon, Su Lie felt a powerful force being converted, and he immediately laughed.
At this moment.
Moon Thousand Blades, who had already flown outside the city, turned to look at Yue Ling and asked, "Ling'er! Isn't this Su Lie your husband? How come he is also..."
"Shh! Ancestor, don't get me in trouble! I am the Ancestor's bed-warming maid! My status was demoted from legitimate wife to maid; if you talk nonsense, I might be demoted to a slave! If that happens, I won't have any rights at all!"
Yue Ling was startled and hurriedly said to Moon Thousand Blades.
This took Moon Thousand Blades aback, and her head couldn't wrap around it for a moment.
Just as she wanted to ask why.
Bai Miaoyin's voice rang in her ear: "Stop asking foolish questions! Since you are here, just be my number two maid!"
"What? I also became a bed-warming maid?"
Moon Thousand Blades was stunned, and her face suddenly turned deathly pale: "I am too strong! Su Lie cannot withstand my power, I am afraid... he will die!"
"Damn! What are you thinking?"
Bai Miaoyin scolded in a low voice: "Are you married?"
Moon Thousand Blades blushed and responded cautiously: "I had my eye on someone before, but before anything started, he died on the battlefield of the Myriad Races! I was heartbroken because of it... so, I haven't found anyone suitable all these years!"
"If you haven't, you haven't! Why are you rambling on so much!"
Bai Miaoyin's voice rang out again, but this time it was much softer: "You learn well here. Su Lie is a good person! You must not let him be deceived by the little vixens of other clans!"
"The three of us must work hard to become the reliance of the Moon Snake Clan!"
"This is not just for the future of the Moon Snake Clan, but also for us!"
"Don't worry about the merchant group matter!"
"I have my own arrangements for the clan!"
...
At this very moment.
Su Lie pushed open the office door.
Tushan Yu and Shangguan Miaomiao, who were sitting on the office sofa talking in low voices, suddenly stood up.
Both of their bodies couldn't help but tremble, and their emotions suddenly became panicked.
Their eyes revealed a complex look of confusion, grief, and panic.
Su Lie felt the clear and unusually strong smell of blood on the two women. In this scent, there was the blood of the Fairy Miaoyao, whom he was familiar with, as well as other envoys. There was also the blood of some unfamiliar life forms.
He also felt the panic and confusion radiating from the two women.
"The two envoys have come to see me; I wonder what for?"
Su Lie looked at the two women and asked.
Previously, he had let the 100 female envoys go, not because he was soft-hearted.
Nor was it because he had taken a fancy to a certain envoy.
Rather.
He wanted to use these envoys to make the Myriad Races of the Heavens unable to launch any territory wars against him.
Now, these two had not only killed the other envoys but also destroyed the entire envoy group's merchant ships.
This made him unable to understand.
Could there be another conspiracy on the part of the Myriad Races of the Heavens?
He couldn't help but think.
Tushan Yu and Shangguan Miaomiao exchanged glances, and both knelt on the ground at the same time.
While kowtowing, they said solemnly: "We beg Mr. Su to take us in! Right now, we have been regarded as trash by our clans, and we will surely die if we go back!..."
The two told Su Lie their respective encounters and the treatment they would receive upon returning.
"Mr. Su! The caravan was destroyed outside the Silent Abyss, and the remaining envoys in the group were all killed by the two of us working together!"
"Now we have cut off our own retreat, we only beg you to give us a way to survive!"
"As long as you are willing to take us in, we will work like oxen and horses for you, even being slaves is fine!"
The two knelt and kowtowed as they spoke.
Su Lie frowned and asked: "The Qingqiu Fox Clan and the Evil God Clan treat their own clansmen this way?"
He had not expected this.
It was the era of the mist rule, yet these major clans still treated the members of their own clans so violently.
This made him find it hard to believe.
At the same time.
His mind became active because of it.
These issues might become the key to his victory.
"The strongest fortresses in the world are often broken from the inside! If I want to break the blockade of the Myriad Races of the Heavens, this might be an opportunity!"
Su Lie's eyelids twitched as he thought of a plan that even he felt was terrifying and audacious.
Tushan Yu lowered her head and said: "Fox King Tushan Susu is the most violent and bloodthirsty generation of kings among all the Fox Kings in history! She..."
In her detailed account.
The crimes of the Qingqiu Fox King were shocking.
Shangguan Miaomiao also recounted the horror of the Evil Gods: "Things are more direct on our side! As long as they don't like the look of you, the strong can wantonly devour the weak! If it weren't for the mist rule protecting the weak Professionals, the Evil Gods would have cut off their roots long ago!"
"Those powerful Supreme Experts do not care about the life or death of their clansmen; what they want is massive amounts of resources, and whether you are useful!"
"And this usefulness must be within a moderate range! Otherwise, once we are too useful, we will be treated as food; not only will our Talent, Skills, and supernatural powers be stripped away, but even our bloodline and attributes will be stripped away!"
"Therefore, in the Evil God forces, a genius is just a legend! Only those who are mediocre can live long!"
"Compared to other clans, all those who are not Supreme Experts are slaves to the Supreme Experts!"
...
After hearing their stories, Su Lie had a more detailed understanding of the Fox Clan and the Weird Clan, things the two women had not mentioned before.
He hesitated: "You can stay if you want! But it must be a contract witnessed by the mist rule, serving as my slaves! And you must voluntarily accept my power!"
Only after Strengthening could the two women awaken the Loyalty attribute of 100% Loyalty to Su Lie.
Only then could Su Lie feel at ease.
If the two women resisted the power of Strengthening.
Su Lie did not know if the Strengthening would be successful.
Therefore.
He brought up the matter beforehand.
After hearing this, the two women said without hesitation: "We are willing to be your slaves! If you don't feel at ease, we are also willing to cooperate with you to have our memories checked!"
"We swear to the mist rule..."
They were afraid that after Su Lie enslaved them, he would kill them for fear that they would rebel, so they raised their hands and swore a solemn oath to the mist rule.
Hum!
As the oath was sworn.
A power of witness from the mist rule descended.
After Su Lie sensed the certification of the mist rule, he used his Talent to write two enslavement Contract Books, and after they were signed, he gave them to the two women respectively.
Tushan Yu and Shangguan Miaomiao didn't even look; they took them and signed their names directly.
Seeing this, Su Lie finally felt at ease regarding the two women.
When the Contract Books in the two women's hands turned into the power of rules and branded themselves onto all three parties.
Su Lie's hands had already touched the two women's brows: "Close your eyes! Do not resist..."
