I was being harassed and you didn’t even come to help, but instead ran away,\" Feng Jiu said, her face flushed with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As if you’d be afraid of harassment!\" Lin Fang said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Jiu continued to pester him relentlessly, acting just like any ordinary girl, which made Lin Fang marvel at how all the women in the world shared certain traits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took Lin Fang a great deal of persuasion to finally calm Feng Jiu down. He turned his head to look at the King of Summer Resort and asked, \"What should be done with him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill him,\" Feng Jiu said nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the King of Summer Resort truly began to panic; he could sense that Feng Jiu wasn’t joking but was indeed intent on killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly cried out, \"I beg you to spare my life, Great One, I’m willing to serve you diligently and loyally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s spare his life. After all, they are the local snakes, and we could use them to gather some information while we’re here,\" Lin Fang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the King of Summer Resort felt as if he had been granted amnesty and gratefully glanced at Lin Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he heard Lin Fang continue, \"We can impose restrictions on him; if he dares to disobey, he will be scattered to the winds, soul and all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mention of restrictions sent a shiver of fear through the King of Summer Resort. This was worse than death itself, with his life and freedom now in the hands of another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he had no say in the matter; controlled by Feng Jiu, the very idea of moving, let alone resisting, was pure folly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only watch helplessly as Lin Fang drew closer to him, as Lin Fang’s fingertips reached his forehead, unable to do anything to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang’s fingertips shone with dazzling light, as mysterious runes danced all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a technique was something the King of Summer Resort had never seen in all his years, and he deeply regretted his misfortune at having encountered such calamitous figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were clearly adept at their arts. Why would they pretend to be ordinary people? It was like asking for trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lin Fang’s fingertips touched the King of Summer Resort’s forehead, the mysterious runes seemed to find a conduit, rushing toward his brain, and hurtling straight for his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technique was inspired by the control matrix of the Treasure Ship, treating the opponent’s soul as a nexus and inscribing the corresponding contract, achieving the purpose of manipulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to some other Dharma Techniques, this method was gentle, not causing too much damage to the soul, and because it was based on a contract, as long as one didn’t violate the terms, the rest were no different from a normal person, thus making it much more secretive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King of Summer Resort felt his soul suddenly filled with many new things. Upon closer inspection, he discovered these were densely packed clauses stating what he must do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not attack the contract maker; protect the master’s safety as long as it doesn’t threaten your own life; do not withhold information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extensive list of conditions quickly spread throughout his mind, yet after careful consideration he found they weren’t overly harsh, leaving him a great deal of wiggle room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why the Soul’s resistance was weak; if it were those overbearing methods, the Soul would instinctively resist, potentially leading to the failure of the Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in the Three Realms, such Spells that could control others were generally targeted at mortals or those with low Cultivation Levels. For Demon Kings like the King of Summer Resort, these methods were unlikely to be effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Fang’s technique didn’t have such drawbacks, the only condition was that he needed to control the opponent first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What puzzled the King of Summer Resort was the clause that the final interpretation right belonged to the master. What did that mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King of Summer Resort was acutely aware that if he didn’t agree, he would probably only die there. Besides, the term wasn’t too harsh, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. Instantly, he felt the Runes transform into golden chains, entwining his Soul tightly, with the end of the chains turning into a sharp blade hanging above his Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any breach of the contract, and the blade would destroy his Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Jiu curiously observed Lin Fang’s actions from the side. After seeing the changes in the King of Summer Resort’s Soul, she asked with a smile, \"So, is it a success?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang simply nodded with a smile. He certainly wouldn’t tell the King of Summer Resort that this was his first time using this Dharma Technique and that he had no assurance of success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, everything went smoothly, proving that his Dharma Technique was indeed perfected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of surprise surged within Lin Fang; this was his first time creating a powerful Dharma Technique in this world, a culmination of essence from two worlds combined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Feng Jiu saw Lin Fang in a new light. This Dharma Technique seemed simple, but in fact, it contained too much, and Lin Fang’s extraordinary ingenuity truly surprised her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of boundless imagination was indispensable to creating Spells. Since ancient times when Cultivators emulated Heaven and Earth to invent Spells, the techniques of the Three Realms had not seen innovation for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a test subject, the King of Summer Resort felt no honor; his face was mournful as he stood still, unsure of how to face Lin Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also because Lin Fang, wanting a better experiment, had deliberately made the terms of the contract lenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any orders for me, the two of you?\" the King of Summer Resort intentionally lowered his posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But having been a king of his own hill for so long, it was very difficult for him to bend, making his efforts seem extremely awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Feng Jiu chuckled, then took out two Straw Men. Special auras entwined around them, and at one glance, they seemed extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang recognized them as well; they were the Straw Men woven by the old man trapped in the attic, truly rare treasures. It was surprising that Feng Jiu would take them out at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Conceal their special auras for me,\" Feng Jiu instructed Lin Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left with no choice, Lin Fang deployed the technique for concealment he had been refining, the same one he and Feng Jiu used earlier to hide their presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash of light over the Straw Men, their mysterious and Mysterious auras could no longer be sensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Jiu nodded secretly to herself, finding Lin Fang’s new concealment technique remarkably effective. She wondered why he had a particular fondness for such techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Three Realms, few sought to explore such spells, as nobody wished to lower their status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Fang heard her thoughts, he would certainly tell her loudly that these people didn’t understand the joy of playing dumb to catch the wise. Moreover, he would add that the world is so terrifying it’s better to stay low-key.\u003C\u002Fp>",1244,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.782Z",1,"novelbin.me","4b72c57e77b6810b19b1088884fd54dd947a76265aabdf9217b65066198bdacd","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-272","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-270",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
