Chapter 1144: This is the Demon Pill

"Ye Xinyu, the Old Man Heavenly Mandate trusted you, which is why he passed the Tian Yue Nine Chapters to you, but how are you repaying him?" Wen Ziming shouted in a deep voice: "You have betrayed his trust in you."

"I never asked for his trust, and everything I possess today is not what I wanted." Ye Xinyu sighed slightly and said: "There are two paths before you now. First, I use the Demon Pill to control you. Second, hand over your Life Soul Consciousness for me to hold. Once I have finished my business, I will return your Soul Consciousness and restore your freedom."

"I choose neither. My life, Wen Ziming's life, can only be controlled by myself." A trace of chill erupted in Wen Ziming's eyes. He formed a seal with his hands, and a sword appeared before him.

At the same time the sword appeared, several Taiji patterns flashed across the platform where he stood.

Immediately following, golden Talismans lit up on the platform; the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array had sensed his killing intent and lit up once more.

"It's useless, truly useless." Ye Xinyu sighed slightly: "No matter what, your Mortal Dust Sword Domain cannot break through the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, because this is an ancient wonder array. The Array Base is maintained by Qilin Blood. You will never be able to break through the suppression of the bloodline."

Several streaks of Sword Light formed. Wen Ziming roared, and the Sword Light shot out in all directions.

At the same time, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array formed a light shield. Flowing light surged upon the shield, and countless Precious, strange visions rose up on it, absorbing the Sword Intent in Wen Ziming's hands bit by bit.

This sword strike, for which he had exhausted all his strength, turned into clouds and smoke in the end, vanishing into thin air.

Pfft... Wen Ziming spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He knelt on one knee on the ground, his face as white as paper.

"Perhaps you have a third path to choose, and that is to end your own life." Ye Xinyu stared at him coldly.

Wen Ziming looked at the sword in his hand. He steeled his heart and was about to hold the sword across his throat to end his life, but when he raised the sword in his hand, he realized he could not bring himself to do it.

He was a Sword Master, a superior Sword Dao practitioner who had independently created the Mortal Dust Sword Domain.

He could die in a clash with an enemy, but he could not die so indignantly; this was not the way a swordsman should die.

In the end, he slowly raised his head, straightened his body, and sighed helplessly: "Fine, I will hand over my Life Soul Consciousness, but when you have completed your plan, you must return my freedom."

"It's a deal." Ye Xinyu smiled faintly.

A glimmer of Spiritual Light emerged from Wen Ziming's forehead and slowly flew into Ye Xinyu's hand. When Ye Xinyu opened her palm, the Spiritual Light had already vanished.

The Life Soul Consciousness is a remnant of the soul contained within the soul itself. As long as he dared to do anything to betray Ye Xinyu, even if he were a thousand miles away, Ye Xinyu only needed to have a single thought, and Wen Ziming would die without a burial place.

Ye Xinyu smiled slightly and withdrew the Eight Gates Golden Lock Great Array. Wen Ziming walked out of the array slowly.

He sighed a long sigh. He, Wen Ziming, was a person who vowed to become a Sword God, but not long after coming down from the mountain, he had been taught a lesson by someone. Now, he truly had no temper left at all.

"Congratulations to you, for turning over a new leaf." Xie Hongyan on the side looked at Wen Ziming with some helplessness.

She was actually unwilling to submit to Ye Xinyu, but there was no help for it; her strength was low, and Ye Xinyu had her firmly in her grasp.

"Follow me, and you can become stronger." Ye Xinyu looked at Wen Ziming: "I can give you the Tian Yue Nine Chapters."

"Really?" Wen Ziming was taken aback. The Tian Yue Nine Chapters was a secret never to be passed on; up until now, the Old Man Heavenly Mandate had only passed it to Ye Xinyu alone.

"Of course it's true. I know what you are pursuing." Ye Xinyu said faintly: "But you must do things for me."

"Forget it. There are many things in the Heavenly Moon Nine Chapters that are not suitable for me, and I myself use a sword. What I pursue is the breakthrough of the realm in Sword Dao, not cultivation." Wen Ziming then sighed slightly. These things were indeed not suitable for him; even if he had the heart, it would not work.

"Very well, next, the land of Yunchuan Shu. Let's see what is actually in that place." Ye Xinyu nodded slightly.

Night, inside a secluded villa.

In Li Zhangjun's room were several men. These men's gazes were like lightning, and they carried killing intent. One could tell at a glance that these were people who had rolled and crawled their way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

And their strength was indeed extraordinary.

Of course, Li Zhangjun would not be willing to give up the secret of immortality, and he could not resist the temptation of immortality either.

After his own boss had finished his business, he gathered a group of people who looked very formidable. He wanted to go to that cave to see if there was any secret regarding immortality inside.

Even if there wasn't, he felt that the secret his father had guarded for most of his life must contain many unknown, good things. He just wanted to go over and explore to see what was inside.

"Li Zong, these people are all mercenaries hired from abroad, and as for weapons, don't you worry. We have channels to transport foreign weapons into the country." A big man puffed on a cigar and chuckled: "We don't have to take money, but we demand that we get a share of whatever is inside."

The big man was the captain of a famous foreign mercenary team. Their squad had been to many places; they had stayed in the pyramids in the desert and had also explored the mysterious Pharaoh's tomb.

Every one of them was a match for ten, and they killed without blinking. After hearing about Li Zhangjun's matter, they were very interested, and now they couldn't wait to go to that place to explore.

"Hehe, brothers, the money will not be short for you. Don't worry, if there really is anything inside, I will split half with you, and that place contains a secret about immortality." Li Zhangjun stood up and said with a chuckle.

"Immortality? Are you sure?" Everyone's breathing hitched slightly, and their gazes became greedy.

Indeed, what could be more tempting than the secret of immortality?

These people had been licking blood from the edge of a blade for most of their lives. Every job they did earned them a lot of money; truthfully, money was no longer important to them.

But no matter how rich or powerful a person was, they could not withstand the torment of illness, aging, and death. If they truly possessed the secret of immortality, then they would live forever.

"I am sure. Falling out with my boss was precisely for this matter." Li Zhangjun sighed slightly and said: "It's a pity, I know my boss's character. Even if we cooperate and enter the cave and obtain the things of immortality..."

"But with his nature, he would most likely just finish me off directly, so I have to find people I can trust."

"Hehe, Li Zong, we are the people you can trust. We want half of the things." The big man narrowed his eyes.
