This was Ba Zu’s domineering nature: obey, and you share life and death; disobey, and you turn to ash.
Except for Zhao Yanran, that stubborn woman, the other seven Sect Knights, sensing the Soul imprint, immediately came to pay their respects and swear allegiance.
Qian Duoduo pressed his hand down, “I can also instantly suppress half of your Cultivation.”
The Cultivation of the eight Sect Knights immediately receded like a tide, dropping from Nascent Soul Initial Stage downwards: Golden Core Great Perfection, Golden Core Late Stage, Golden Core Middle Stage, Early Stage Golden Core, Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
“You all try it,” Qian Duoduo waved his hand.
Zhao Baixiao stood up and tried it, then bowed to Qian Duoduo: “It’s true. The Golden Core in my abdomen has transformed into a Spirit Sea.”
The other Sect Knights also nodded in agreement.
Zhao Yanran, however, didn’t believe it, thinking the fluctuation in Cultivation was merely an illusion caused by the chair she was sitting on.
She stood up and fiercely raised her Spiritual Qi.
However, the Golden Core in her lower abdomen vanished without a trace, leaving only a vast Spirit Sea.
She still didn't believe it, so she took out her Mid-Tier Dan artifact, the Cold Flame Pure Snow Spear. As soon as she performed a move, the Spiritual Qi in her Spirit Sea was completely depleted.
Zhao Yanran’s limbs went limp, and she fell to the ground, unable to hold the Cold Flame Pure Snow Spear any longer, throwing the spear aside.
Qian Duoduo looked at Zhao Yanran with cold eyes, like an elder watching a mischievous child, without the slightest anger in his heart.
It was Zhao Baixiao who, with a hardened heart, said to Zhao Yanran: “Yanran, get up quickly.”
Zhao Yanran couldn’t understand what was happening and angrily went back to sit down.
Thinking about being suppressed by Qian Duoduo in the future, and being bullied by Zeng Zifang, flames of anger rose in her heart.
Qian Duoduo squeezed his hand, gently vibrating the Soul imprints in the Upper Spirit Sea of the eight Sect Knights.
“I, Ba Zu, do not need your trust. I am responsible for the Ba Ling Sect, and a Sect Knight is merely a member of the Ba Ling Sect—”
Including Zhao Yanran, everyone clearly felt the Soul imprint in their minds, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
They understood Qian Duoduo’s underlying message.
Ba Zu did not need their trust, but they needed Ba Zu’s trust.
A Sect Knight was a member of the Ba Ling Sect; if they did not gain Ba Zu’s trust, Ba Zu would not mind replacing them.
I can save you, and I can kill you.
This was Ba Zu’s confidence and domineering nature!
The other Sect Knights were fine, but Zhao Yanran felt that these words were specifically directed at her.
She felt extremely indignant, but the Soul imprint was in her mind; that damned Little Peddler could kill her with a single thought.
Her life was not worth much, and her father’s life was also in Qian Duoduo’s hands.
Zhao Yanran secretly told herself: “I’ll endure for now. Once I get out, I’ll find a way. A Foundation Establishment Late Stage, isn’t there plenty of ways to make him die? Once he dies, this Soul imprint will be useless, right?”
The Zongshi Hall seemed to solidify. After a quarter of an hour, Qian Duoduo stretched out his hand, releasing the Soul imprint.
Immediately, Zhao Baixiao and the others felt the sharp sword hanging over their heads being removed, and their Cultivation recovered like rising water, returning to Golden Core Middle Stage.
After establishing his authority, it was time to give some benefits.
Qian Duoduo slapped the armrest of the throne, “These eight Sect Knight Mystic Arts are for you. Cultivate them here and raise your Cultivation to Golden Core Great Perfection. At the appropriate time, I will take you out.”
Ba Zu had already placed these Mystic Arts in the Zongshi Hall.
After receiving the Legacy, Qian Duoduo could impart the Mystic Arts to the Sect Knights.
He flicked his finger, giving each of the eight Sect Knights a Spirit Transformation Pill.
The Spirit Transformation Pill could directly advance them one stage, from Golden Core Middle Stage to Golden Core Late Stage.
These Mystic Arts were all evolved from the Everlasting Wealth and Nobility Cultivation Technique, some based on the Lower Spirit Sea, some delving into the Middle Spirit Sea, and some rooted in the Upper Spirit Sea.
Zhao Baixiao and the other Sect Knights received the Medicinal Pills, and at the same time, a Cultivation Technique appeared in each of their minds.
Each person’s was different.
Zhao Baixiao was the Right Eyebrow Peak Sect Knight, and his Mystic Art was the “Blood Tiger Five Roars.” After Cultivating it, he could increase his Cultivation by three stages within ten breaths, and his attack and defense would double.
Most importantly, whether it was Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, or Heaven-Human Stage, the three-stage increase remained effective!
This kind of Mystic Art was many times stronger than the current Mystic Arts of the Ba Ling Sect.
Zhao Baixiao and the others suppressed the excitement in their hearts and loudly replied: “We obey Ba Zu’s command!”
Qian Duoduo’s eyes looked towards Zhao Yanran.
He hadn’t heard Zhao Yanran’s voice just now.
The Zongshi Hall fell silent again.
