Chapter 2447: Successful Persuasion

Well then, how about you temporarily act as an undercover agent? I'll figure out a way to break the seal, and then you can rejoin me.

Like that, then how about you temporarily be an undercover? Wait until I later figure out how to break the seal, then you can follow me?

Huh? Would that even work?

Huh??? This also works?

As soon as he said that, everyone present was stunned. Could we really do that? Have the artifact spirit act as an undercover? Could they agree?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned. Can it be done this way? Let the artifact spirit be an undercover? Could they agree?

However, upon hearing this, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner's artifact spirit blinked its big eyes, looking at Ye Changqing with a pure expression, and said.

However, upon hearing this, the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit blinked its big eyes, looking at Ye Zhangqing with a pure expression and said.

"What does 'undercover' mean?"

"What does 'undercover' mean?"

Huh?

Huh???

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, but Ye Changqing, undiminished in smile, patiently explained.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, but Ye Zhangqing, his smile undiminished, patiently explained.

"Undercover: 'under' means to lurk, to hide; 'cover' means the base, the interior; together it means lurking within the enemy's interior."

"Undercover, 'lie' means to lurk, to hide; 'bottom' means the base, the interior; together it means lurking inside the enemy."

"Put simply, it's someone who hides inside the enemy camp as one of their own. Do you understand?"

"Put simply, it's one of our own lurking inside the enemy. Do you understand?"

This explanation was quite straightforward; upon hearing it, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner's artifact spirit fell silent for a moment, then spoke.

This explanation was quite straightforward; upon hearing it, the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit fell silent for a moment, then spoke.

"Are you asking me to betray my current master?"

"Do you want me to betray my current master?"

"That's one way to put it, or you could say you first acknowledge me as your master, just waiting for the right moment."

"You could put it that way, or you could first acknowledge me as your master for now, just waiting for the right opportunity."

Ye Changqing was like an adult luring a naive child.

Ye Zhangqing was like an adult luring a pure child.

By this point, it was clear that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner's artifact spirit was hesitating.

And speaking of this, it could be seen that the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit was hesitating.

Ye Changqing wasn't in a rush either; he simply waited quietly.

Ye Zhangqing wasn't in a hurry either; he simply waited quietly.

It doesn't understand all those complications; it simply has to obey the Palace of Ultimate Bliss master due to the seal.

It didn't understand all those complications; it was forced to obey the Extreme Bliss Palace Palace Master due to the seal.

So, when Ye Changqing and his group were forcibly drawn into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the surrounding resentful spirits and vicious ghosts didn't harm them.

Therefore, when Ye Zhangqing and his group were forcibly dragged into the Myriad Soul Banner, the surrounding resentful spirits and vicious ghosts did not harm them.

This wasn't the artifact spirit's intention; it was an order from the Palace of Ultimate Bliss master.

This was naturally not the artifact spirit's intention, but rather the command of the Extreme Bliss Palace Palace Master.

With the seal upon it, it cannot defy.

With the seal upon it, it cannot defy.

After all, it doesn't have much affection for the Palace of Ultimate Bliss master, since the seal on it wasn't placed by them.

Of course, ultimately, it doesn't have much affection for the Extreme Bliss Palace Palace Master, after all, the seal on it was not placed by that party.

Rather, it was placed by the previous generation elder of the Palace of Ultimate Bliss; strictly speaking, that is its true master.

Rather, it was placed by the previous generation Elder of the Extreme Bliss Palace; strictly speaking, that is its true master.

However, that elder hasn't appeared in a long time, and the last command given to it was to obey the Palace of Ultimate Bliss master.

However, that party has not appeared for a long time, and the final command given to it was to obey the Extreme Bliss Palace Palace Master.

Thus, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner's artifact spirit obeys the Palace of Ultimate Bliss.

Thus, the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit obeys the Extreme Bliss Palace.

Now, Ye Changqing's suggestion that it act as an undercover left it momentarily undecided.

Now, Ye Zhangqing said to act as an undercover, leaving it momentarily unable to decide.

After hesitating for a while, the artifact spirit raised its head and asked.

After hesitating for a moment, the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit raised its head and asked.

"If I agree, will I from now on be able to eat the meals you cook?"

"If I agree, will I then always be able to eat the food you cook?"

"That's a must; when the time comes, I'll be your master, so of course you can."

"Of course; then I will be your master, and naturally I can."

"Alright, I agree."

"Alright, I agree."

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner's artifact spirit silently nodded; seeing this, everyone present was dumbfounded.

The Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit silently nodded; seeing this, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Did it really work? Senior Brother Ye turned the artifact spirit against its master? Is that too outrageous?

Did it really work? Ye Shī xiōng swayed the Myriad Soul Banner's artifact spirit? Is that too outrageous?

They still have the seal on them, though.

But the other party still has the seal on them.

But the fact is right before our eyes; regardless of whether people believe it, it's true.

However, the facts are right before our eyes; regardless of whether people believe it, that's the case.

At that moment, Ye Changqing gently rubbed the little thing's head and then gave it a big bowl full of food.

At this moment, Ye Zhangqing gently rubbed the little thing's head, then immediately gave it a big bowl full of food.

Holding a bowl larger than its own head, the artifact spirit couldn't help but grin as it ran to the side and started eating heartily.

Holding a bowl larger than its own head, the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit couldn't help but run to the side with a smile, feasting heartily.

You can tell this little fellow is in a good mood.

It could be seen that this little fellow's mood was good.

He waited until it finished eating without disturbing it; this time, after it finished, the little fellow didn't run away.

After waiting for it to finish eating, Ye Zhangqing did not disturb it; this time, after finishing, the little fellow didn't run away.

Instead, it obediently came to Ye Changqing's side, truly as if it had acknowledged him as its master.

On the contrary, it obediently came to Ye Zhangqing's side, truly as if it had acknowledged him as master.

Ye Changqing was pleased with the artifact spirit's change in attitude, treating it like a child, holding it in his arms and casually asking.

Regarding the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit's change in attitude, Ye Zhangqing was very pleased, treating it like a child, holding it in his arms and casually asking.

"Since you have the seal on you, is there anything you cannot do?"

"Since you have the seal on you, is there anything you cannot do?"

"The things I cannot do... well, I just cannot defy my master's orders; otherwise I can decide on my own."

"What I cannot do…… anyway, I just cannot violate the master's orders; otherwise I can decide on everything else."

"Then can we let us go out?"

"Then can we let us out?"

"That's not possible; the master's order is to not harm you, but also not to let you leave."

"That's not possible; the master's order is to not harm you, but also not to let you leave."

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner's artifact spirit shook its head, speaking with a hint of disappointment, as if blaming itself for not being able to help Ye Changqing.

The Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit shook its head, saying with a hint of disappointment, as if blaming itself for not being able to help Ye Zhangqing.

At the same time, its words left everyone feeling helpless and complex.

At the same time, its words also left everyone feeling helpless and complex.

We've turned it, yet we still can't get out? Does it absolutely need the Palace of Ultimate Bliss master's nod?

Even after swaying it, we still can't get out? Must we have the Extreme Bliss Palace Palace Master nod?

The artifact spirit's answer left everyone feeling disappointed.

The Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit's answer left everyone feeling disappointed.

In that case, even if we've turned the artifact spirit, it actually doesn't mean much.

In that case, it seems that even if we swayed the artifact spirit, it actually has no real significance.

Because the artifact spirit cannot defy the orders of the artifact's master; whatever the Palace of Ultimate Bliss master commands, it must obey.

Because the artifact spirit cannot defy the command of the Fairy Artifact's master, whatever the Extreme Bliss Palace Palace Master orders it to do, it can only do that.

This result left everyone feeling extremely disappointed.

This result left everyone inevitably extremely disappointed.

However, at that moment, Ye Changqing's voice sounded again.

However, at that moment, Ye Zhangqing's voice sounded again.

"Do you know where this seal is located?"

"Then do you know where this seal is located?"

"I know where it is, but I can't do anything about it."

"I know that, but I have no way."

The seal placed by the previous generation's patriarch of the Palace of Ultimate Bliss is surely on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner itself; in other words, it's a manifestation of the refinement.

The seal placed by the previous generation Ancestor of the Extreme Bliss Palace is surely on the Myriad Soul Banner itself; put bluntly, it's a manifestation of its refinement.

And since it's on the banner's main body, whether from outside or inside, one should be able to reach it.

And since it's on the Myriad Soul Banner's main body, whether from outside or inside, one should be able to reach it.

That's what Ye Changqing thought, though he wasn't certain, so he asked.

Ye Zhangqing thought so, but he wasn't certain, so he asked.

I didn't expect this little thing to nod; it really does know where the seal is.

I didn't expect this little thing to actually nod; it really does know where the seal is.

Upon hearing that, the previously disheartened crowd became excited again—could this be a turning point?

Upon hearing this, the originally dispirited crowd became excited again—could this be a turning point?

Everyone's eyes lit up as they stared straight at Ye Changqing and the artifact spirit; even some familiar disciples from the Tian family couldn't help but speak up.

Each pair of eyes lit up, staring straight at Ye Zhangqing and the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit; even some relatively familiar Heavenly Family disciples couldn't help but speak up.

"Senior Brother, since you know where the seal on this artifact is, why not go take a look? If there's a way to break it, that would be perfect."

"Shī xiōng, since we know where the seal of this Fairy Artifact is located, why not go take a look? If there's a way to break it, that would be perfect."

Once the seal is broken, there's naturally no need to worry about anything else.

Once the seal is broken, naturally there's no need to worry about anything else.

Moreover, the Myriad Soul Banner's artifact spirit has already pledged allegiance; without the seal, isn't it just a matter of moments before it acknowledges a master?

By then, even if the Myriad Soul Banner is in the hands of the Paradise Palace's Palace Master, it will be utterly useless; it basically cannot be used.

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nodded; his question naturally implied that.

However, whether it will ultimately succeed is still uncertain.

After all, that seal was laid down by a figure of Huang Lao's caliber.

Actually, like the Heaven-Earth Cauldron and the Heaven-Earth Shovel, there are also seals left by Ye Zhangqing.

However, if one wants to break this seal, they must first kill Ye Zhangqing.

Because Ye Zhangqing linked the Fairy Artifact with his own soul, as long as he is alive, it basically cannot be broken.

But the Myriad Soul Banner's situation is different; perhaps it was intended to facilitate use by later-generation disciples.

The previous-generation patriarch of the Paradise Palace, after secretly storing the Myriad Soul Banner in the Sect's storage, released the binding between the Myriad Soul Banner and his own soul.

This was likely done to facilitate use by others in the Paradise Palace, leaving only the seal.

In that case, anyone can break the Myriad Soul Banner's seal.

Of course, under normal circumstances, even if the seal is broken, it does not mean one can obtain the Myriad Soul Banner.

After all, one still needs the Myriad Soul Banner's artifact spirit to acknowledge them as master; if unwilling, one must either forcibly refine it or face failure.

But Ye Zhangqing is not in that situation; he has already subdued the artifact spirit and now seeks a way to break the seal.

As long as the seal is broken, the Myriad Soul Banner can instantly acknowledge a master.

Therefore, what Ye Zhangqing needs to consider now is how to break the seal; everything else is not a problem.

However, the specifics can only be known after seeing them firsthand.
