“My lord, you don’t need to worry about us.”

“Worst case, well move again. The world is vast, there’s no place we can’t go.”

Leng Yuexi hummed coldly, a trace of chill flashing in her eyes.

She didn’t have deep affection for this ocean region anyway.

As long as she was with her beloved, anywhere was home and moving again was nothing to fuss about.

This youngster thought he could intimidate her with the Nascent Soul Ancestor — quite amusing.

What?!

Hearing this, Shangguan Xu’s face turned green. He had thought this man was ruthless, but the woman was even more so.

She completely disregarded his identity as the Nascent Soul Ancestor’s son, intending to slaughter him on the spot.

Now, he deeply regretted it.

If he had known earlier about the formidable man backing this woman, he wouldn’t have laid a hand on her, even if it killed him.

Damn the consequences.

Many male cultivators have died at the hands of a woman for this very reason.

“I can spare you.”

“But you must swear an oath to the Heart Demon.”

“You can’t speak of what happened today.”

“And you can’t retaliate against us in any way.”

“If you agree to these conditions, perhaps I could spare your life.”

Zhou Sui looked at Shangguan Xu indifferently.

He initially wanted to kill him instantly, but considering the Nascent Soul Ancestor supporting him, he decided to hold back.

Besides, he didn’t want to abandon the base he had just found.

Importantly, things may not have reached a point of no return.

Because he had cultivated a supreme demonic cultivation technique — the Heart Demon Invocation.

The first level of this technique could conjure a demon seed and plant it in an enemy’s body.

If they broke the promises linked to the demon seed, the seed would activate and devour their soul, making them a puppet.

Previously, he never had the opportunity to utilize this demonic technique.

After all, his fellow members of the Immortal Mist Sect were all on his side.

It wouldn’t be right to use this practice on his own people and implant a demon seed in them.

But this situation was different. These three Golden Core Masters were ideal candidates for the Heart Demon Invocation.

If a demon seed were implanted in them, they would no longer have control over their own lives.

“This!”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xu almost burst out laughing, his heart calming significantly.

It seemed that this youth, despite his outward bluster and claims of not fearing his father, Shangguan Qing, was terrified indeed.

After all, who would want to offend a Nascent Soul Ancestor unnecessarily? That would be a sure path to death.

As for swearing an oath to the Heart Demon, he wasn’t afraid of that.

As the son of a Nascent Soul Ancestor, he naturally had items on hand to break the oath of the Heart Demon.

Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to reveal this information.

If he truly angered the youth who might kill him on the spot, wouldn’t he be helpless and lamenting?

Even if his father avenged him in the future, it would be of no significance.

By then, he would be dead. What use would it be?

His life was precious. He wouldn’t gamble it against the youth’s.

“Alright.”

“I agree.”

“I won’t speak of anything that happened today.”

“And I won’t seek revenge on you in any way.”

“If I break this vow, let me be struck by divine punishment.”

Shangguan Xu spoke with a solemn oath, swearing to heaven.

Buzz Buzz—

The moment he finished speaking, an invisible demon seed silently penetrated Shangguan Xu’s body, melding into his soul, forming a kind of pact.

At this moment, Zhou Sui felt an invisible connection form between him and Shangguan Xu.

It seemed as if Shangguan Xu had become part of him.

But the demon seed had yet to be activated.

Once it was, it would immediately devour Shangguan Xu’s soul.

“So this is how it is, this is the demon seed formed by the Heart Demon Invocation.”

“In essence, this is a Heart Demon, a controllable Heart Demon.”

“If they betray their promises and pact, it will activate immediately.”

“No wonder the Yama Sect is universally condemned in the East Wastelands.”

“Such a demonic method is incredibly eerie and terrifying, a moment’s carelessness could invoke a Heart Demon.”

“After all, no one can guarantee that they will keep their promise at all times.”

Zhou Sui was very pleased.

The method of the Heart Demon Invocation was unimaginably similar to the Gu Insects he had mastered.

And it was infinitely mysterious, difficult for the enemy to resist.

Apparently, his decision to spare Shangguan Xu was the correct one.

After all, if Shangguan Xu were killed here, his life tablet would shatter instantly, notifying the Nascent Soul Ancestor, Shangguan Qing, of his son’s death.

By then, even if he was unwilling, he would have to flee.

However, now was different.

Shangguan Xu had a demon seed in him and swore an oath to the Heart Demon.

If he broke the oath, he would be immediately possessed by the demon seed and become a puppet.

His life or death would be at Zhou Sui’s discretion.

From then onwards, whenever Shangguan Xu was destined to die, his death would not be linked to Zhou Sui himself.

As long as the life tablet didn’t shatter, the Nascent Soul Ancestor wouldn’t bother him.

After all, Shangguan Xu had so many enemies, his father, the Nascent Soul Ancestor Shangguan Qing, couldn’t possibly avenge him against all of them.

In this way, it was a plan that killed many birds with one stone.

“Fellow Daoist, I have already made the oath to the Heart Demon.”

“May I ask if I can leave now?”

“Also, can my Golden Core guards also leave?”
