Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Chapter 710: Crisis Suddenly Approaches

As a newly joined member, if one were to have a Primordial Spirit Restriction placed right upon joining, one's life and death would be entirely in another's hands.

Both emotionally and rationally, it would be difficult for people to accept this, leading to resistance.

After all, to some extent, choosing to join signifies a kind of trust.

If such extreme measures were adopted, over time, it would lead to division and distrust between the organization and its members.

Therefore, the control method Liu Yu employed was merely to embed a special technique imprint on their golden core.

With this imprint, combined with specific spells, the whereabouts of the marked individual could be tracked at any time.

This special imprint is extremely sturdy, probably a method devised by the great cultivators of the Purple Scarf Army, and once planted, it would be very difficult to remove unless a yuan ying true monarch intervened.

However, even an ordinary yuan ying true monarch might not be able to completely eradicate it.

Of course, golden core members have access to more resources, and once they betray, the consequences can be dire.

Thus, just like Liu Yu’s joining of the Cloth-Clad Alliance, providing a drop of blood essence is essential.

With the special imprint, plus a drop of blood essence, various means can be utilized to track and pinpoint locations.

Even if one could escape temporarily, there would be no hope of escaping for a lifetime.

After all, in the Qian Court Holy Land, no matter how much one would pay for protection, it is impossible to constantly send experts to safeguard a betrayer.

And under the relentless pursuit of various radical loose cultivator organizations, any betrayer from any organization would ultimately find it difficult to have a good ending, often meeting a tragic fate.

With the difficulty of preserving one’s life post-betrayal, and the constant anxiety weighing down on them, any cultivator who wavers in their beliefs would have to repeatedly weigh the pros and cons, ultimately reluctant to act recklessly.

In this way, the occurrence of such behavior is effectively reduced.

From what Liu Yu understood, the yuan ying cultivator Mingjing, who had "killed his master and rebelled," had long been on the kill list of various loose cultivator organizations.

Only because he had escaped to "Divine Capital," the area with the weakest influence of loose cultivator organizations, did he temporarily preserve his life.

It is foreseeable that once he steps out of Divine Capital, or if Qian Court's defenses relax, there will surely be loose cultivator experts trying to take his life!

The special imprint can be removed, but with a drop of blood essence in hand, one can still use divination and manipulation techniques to determine his location!

Not every cultivator can, like him, directly sever connections using a spiritual treasure!

"Friend Hong has a task at hand and has no choice but to do so; I hope Daoist Lu Yi does not take offense."

"My apologies."

With the special imprint placed on the golden core and a drop of blood essence collected, Liu Yu gently clasped his hands in courtesy, apologizing once more.

"No harm done, Friend Hong is being overly courteous."

"I can understand the organization's predicament."

Though somewhat reluctant at heart, after hearing Liu Yu's repeated reassurances, Lu Yi felt much better and immediately clasped his hands to express indifference.

Handing over blood essence and having the special imprint placed means this individual has officially joined and become a golden core member of the Purple Scarf Army.

The subsequent exchanges became much more pleasant.

"From this point forward, we are truly 'fellow travelers'!"

"Daoist Lu, you remain here and await the organization's instructions."

After a round of casual chatting, half an hour had passed unknowingly, and before Liu Yu departed, he said solemnly.

"I understand, I will await the organization's orders at any time."

Though he said this, Lu Yi's gaze remained on Liu Yu, his attitude exceedingly polite.
