The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 877: Chapter 878: Gaining Their Trust Through Deception

Yuwen Heng’s words echoed in everyone’s ears, causing a shock, especially among some disciples, who had begun to tremble.

"It seems I have no other choice."

Ye Mo looked at Yuwen Heng in the air and said, "As the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Society, I naturally don’t want to see our sect destroyed. I agree to surrender to you, but the Heavenly Sword Society will still be the Heavenly Sword Society."

"What? You want to surrender to the Heavenly Sword Society? You traitor."

Within the Heavenly Sword Society, there were still some disciples who were unwilling to surrender, preferring to die than to yield. Upon hearing that Ye Mo was leading the surrender, they immediately became furious: "I’ll kill you!"

That disciple immediately drew a Longsword and slashed toward Ye Mo, but before he could get close, he was struck down in mid-air by Yuwen Heng’s palm strike.

Ye Mo watched this scene with a sense of reluctance in his heart, but such things were inevitable.

And Liu Qingtai and others, seeing this scene, also suppressed their inner anger, but their faces still showed signs of anger.

"You really don’t know what’s good for you. Your Sect Leader has willingly surrendered to us, and you ants still dare to resist? If your Sect Leader resisted us, he’d be killed too, let alone you."

Yuwen Heng said disdainfully, looking at the elders whose faces showed anger but who dared not speak a word, and his heart was filled with immense satisfaction.

"Ye Mo, since you agreed to surrender to us, naturally we won’t treat you poorly. After becoming an Elder of the Southern Spirit Sect, you will learn more advanced techniques and execute various tasks, and your cultivation speed will be unknown times faster than if you stayed at the Heavenly Sword Society."

Yuwen Heng continued to tempt Ye Mo, seeing the greed showing on Ye Mo’s face, and his inner vigilance relaxed.

Hearing this, the experts of the Yuwen Clan and the Elder’s Gate of the Divine Wind Sect were secretly amazed by Yuwen Heng’s cleverness. They all knew that once you enter the newly established Southern Spirit Sect, you will only end up as a tool. Even if your strength grows stronger, you are nothing more than a powerful tool.

As Yuwen Heng said this, Ye Mo inwardly sneered, but his face already showed a greedy expression, and he said, "Master, with so many benefits, naturally I am eager to accept."

"Since you agreed to submit to us, here is a Qi-Stabilizing Divine Pill, a seventh-tier pill. Let me tell you the truth, once this pill’s energy merges into your body, it can accelerate the circulation of Xuan Aura and cultivation speed. However, it will also condense a True Qi Seed in your Dantian, allowing us to control you."

Yuwen Heng took out a pill and said flatly, "I don’t believe in your so-called loyalty. Only after you swallow this Qi-Stabilizing Avatar Pill will I believe in your loyalty."

This Qi-Stabilizing Divine Pill, besides accelerating a Martial Artist’s cultivation, can also control them. Many forces use such pills to control their trained fighters.

Ye Mo looked at the pill and understood that if he didn’t take it, words would be useless. However, the pill’s energy was just energy; for the possessor of the Rising Dragon Pillar, it posed no threat. Instead, he could study the energy within, perhaps even refine such a pill himself.

"Alright, swallow the pill now to show your loyalty."

Yuwen Heng said with a light smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingtai was excited and ready to act, but Jian Tong held her back.

If Ye Mo took this pill, he would truly become their slave, under their command.

"Alright!"

Ye Mo took the pill and swallowed it in front of everyone. Immediately, he felt a massive power surge forth. The energy penetrated into his Energy Center, condensing a seed as if taking root in the depths of his Qi Sea.

Ye Mo knew that ordinary Martial Artists, once the seed was planted, could not remove it and would be under someone else’s control. But before the seed formed, Ye Mo destroyed it, turning it into energy stored in his Qi Sea.

The energy of the Qi-Stabilizing Divine Pill was still incredibly vast. If he could continuously absorb several pills and release them together, he might awaken considerable Demon Dragon Power.

Seeing Ye Mo swallow the pill, the Yuwen Clan and some Elders of the Divine Wind Sect all secretly sneered.

"Since you have taken the pill, you are now an Elder of the Southern Spirit Sect, and the Heavenly Sword Society must obey our orders; you should all kneel now."

Yuwen Heng said.

"All of you, kneel. From now on, we are members of the Southern Spirit Sect."

Ye Mo turned to face the elders and disciples behind him and nodded at the elders.

Liu Qingtai and the elders immediately understood and quickly knelt down, and the disciples followed, saying, "All disciples and elders of the Heavenly Sword Society are willing to serve the Yuwen Clan."

Originally, these people intended to use absolute force to intimidate the Heavenly Sword Society, killing several elders if necessary. However, seeing these disciples and elders being so obedient, they decided to leave it be.

"From now on, you are all members of the Southern Spirit Sect. In approximately one month, a super powerful being will arrive in Nanling, a master of the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations; it will be a miraculous event."

Yuwen Heng said.

Upon hearing that a powerhouse of the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations would descend upon the Southern Spirit Region, Ye Mo speculated that they likely intended to merge the region into another space. If they could gather the trust of everyone in the Southern Spirit, their power would surge, potentially even breaking through to the Divine Venerate Realm.

However, a powerhouse of the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations is an enormous presence to anyone, far beyond ordinary people. Their arrival would certainly garner worship from tens of thousands.

"Also, who set up this seal formation? Are there more seals? I want to add another layer of seals here to constantly monitor all actions of the Heavenly Sword Society."

Yuwen Heng continued, being very interested in the Ancient Xuan Turtle Charm. As a charm master himself, he naturally wanted to study it.

"I acquired the seal from a residence, and I still have two more with me."

Ye Mo understood that Yuwen Heng wanted his seals, so he appeared very compliant, handing over two Ancient Xuan Turtle Charms, allowing them to completely let down their guard.

Yuwen Heng looked at the Ancient Xuan Turtle Charm, appreciating the intricacies of the runes, nodding repeatedly, and storing the charms away: "Good, there’s no need to mention the seals. You can now accompany us back to the Divine Wind Sect."

"Understood!"

Ye Mo said respectfully.

"Yuexiang, you will now take Ye Mo back to the Divine Wind Sect and assign his duties. We will remain here to set up a new formation to completely control the Heavenly Sword Society, then go and integrate the remaining three Third-rate Forces."

Yuwen Heng instructed.

Ye Mo also felt some relief in his heart. Given the current situation, he had managed to deceive them and gained their trust, temporarily saving the Heavenly Sword Society. As for the future, he could only take it one step at a time.
