Chapter 336: Threatening Red Maple (Combined Chapter)
“This has always been the rule. Friend Xiao shouldn't have any objections, right?”
Without setting up restrictions, how could one feel at ease using it?
If one wasn't careful, it was indeed possible for Xiao Chong to escape, and that would be a wasted effort.
Thus, a “rule” was casually fabricated just to facilitate control over this person.
Only by doing so could one use it with peace of mind and establish a protocol for future incorporation.
With the power to slay Dugu Wengjian, as long as he still wished for peace, Liu Yu believed the other party would make the right choice.
He would not naively think that “grace” and “benevolence” could change these cultivators.
“Having abandoned darkness for light and holding no ulterior motives, since this is the rule, I will naturally abide by it.”
Xiao Chong forced a smile and cupped his hands in greeting.
At this moment, he was like fish on the chopping board, with the example of Dugu Wengjian right before him; did he have any other choice?
As for Yan Kai and the others, they didn't react much and supported the idea of setting restrictions first.
Just a moment ago, they were at odds, but now, under coercion, the other party had become “one of their own.”
They also found it hard to relax and thought it was better to set up restrictions for control.
“Relax your body and don’t resist, my apologies.”
Liu Yu spoke calmly and quite politely.
In today's Tian Nan, foundation establishment cultivators are regarded as the backbone of any force and receive decent treatment.
For these “surrendered” foundation establishment cultivators, he was willing to show basic respect on the surface.
After all, there is a saying in the secular world: “A gentleman can be killed but cannot be humiliated.”
At the very least, he was a foundation establishment combatant.
“Understood, Friend Qingyang.”
Xiao Chong breathed heavily, forcing calmness.
Seeing this, Liu Yu slightly nodded, allowing him to land on the Shield Wind Boat.
He walked over, formed a spell gesture with both hands, and began to cast the “Spirit Locking Spell.”
During the casting, he released his spiritual consciousness, constantly paying attention to the surrounding movements and wary of Xiao Chong suddenly regretting his actions.
Fortunately, he did not discover any such incidents.
As his middle and index fingers came together, the last spell gesture landed on the crucial acupoint of the opponent’s dantian, and the light in Liu Yu’s hands vanished, completing the Spirit Locking Spell.
The Spirit Locking Spell is a restriction that seals a cultivator's magical power. Once activated, it prevents the cultivator from using the magical power in their dantian, instantly causing them to lose over ninety-five percent of their strength.
As long as they are within a thousand miles, the caster can activate this restriction with a thought, making it an excellent choice for controlling cultivators.
Of course, the Spirit Locking Spell only works on cultivators below the golden core realm.
Once a cultivator forms their golden core, their magical power undergoes a qualitative change, and with the golden core in charge of the dantian, the Spirit Locking Spell can no longer seal it.
“All right, Friend Xiao. As long as you perform well when eliminating the Bai Family, the Spirit Locking Spell can naturally be lifted later.”
Liu Yu withdrew his hand and said lightly.
“Understood!”
Xiao Chong responded in a low voice.
After being branded by the Spirit Locking Spell, he surprisingly felt a sense of relief.
Because he knew that for the time being, he was no longer in any danger.
The magical power within his dantian could still circulate through any meridian, seemingly no different from before.
However, Xiao Chong understood that as long as he showed any signs of rebellion, the Spirit Locking Spell would immediately activate, sealing his dantian, making it impossible for him to use any magical power.
