Martial Master

At their level, there can be no carelessness during battle. Even a single breath of being restrained could lead to losing the upper hand, making it easy for the opponent to kill them.

At this moment, Teng Huazang and the others were filled with dread. The confidence they had from previously erupting with power vanished in an instant. They hurriedly burned their true essence to break free from the terrifying feeling of restraint.

At this point, Qin Chen's calm voice faintly came through: "If this Young Master wants to kill you, you would have already been in danger."

Teng Huazang and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Although Qin Chen's words were somewhat exaggerated, it was not impossible for him to do so. They initially thought that Qin Chen had killed Xiao Dongyan due to the mysterious sword's assistance. Now, it seemed that he truly had the strength to kill Xiao Dongyan, and since he could kill Xiao Dongyan, he could obviously kill them as well.

Moreover, with Fu Qiankun and the others by Qin Chen’s side, even if they exerted all their strength, how could they safely leave this place?

At this moment, the confidence Teng Huazang and the others had completely dissipated, and all that remained was fear.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Qin Chen retracted the Void Thunder Sword Domain and said indifferently, "I've given you all a chance. If you refuse, then you will be my enemies. Don't blame me for being unrelenting."

Qin Chen didn't see himself as being aggressive. He could trust people like Fu Qiankun and others, and he didn’t even need the soul sacrifice because the Alchemy Pavilion, Weapon Hall, and Bloodline Holy Land were top forces with millions of years of inheritance, the backbone of the Tianwu Continent.

But for forces like the Teng family, Tiangui Sect, and the Dead Demon Sect, Qin Chen did not dare to trust them. Back in the Ancient Demon Land, Chu Huahan from the Misty Hidden Gate had already allied with the Piao Miao Palace, which served as a warning.

Teng Huazang and the others were dripping with cold sweat, showing signs of struggle, but in the end, they could only let out a deep sigh.

"Fine, I agree."

"Our sect also agrees."

"What else can we do?"

The few of them shook their heads, looking dejected.

The situation was stronger than people; right now, they were only establishing a soul sacrifice. As long as they did not ally with the Piao Miao Palace or collude with the Demon Tribe, it would have little effect on them. However, if they refused, they were certain Qin Chen would kill them without leaving any hidden dangers.

"Fu Qiankun, let's begin." Qin Chen ordered, and Fu Qiankun immediately prepared the materials for the soul sacrifice and set up the grand array for it. Soon, a trace of soul power from Teng Huazang and the others was extracted and integrated into the soul sacrifice, and they established their oaths.

Buzz!

In the void, an invisible force descended. The soul sacrifice grand array emitted a light of soul, slowly rotating, eventually transforming into a sphere that descended.

The sphere was drawn into Qin Chen's hand, revealing a surface entwined with complex restrictions and patterns, while within the sphere, several soul power auras flickered, which belonged to Teng Huazang and the others.

"Very good. From today onward, you all are one of us."

Qin Chen sat back down, a smile appearing on his face.

Teng Huazang and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the soul sacrifice was established, they let go of their inhibitions. They didn't believe that Qin Chen would kill them after making them establish a soul sacrifice; that would be pointless, so they all sat down.

For some reason, now that the soul sacrifice was established, they felt much lighter in their hearts. With thoughts of the Piao Miao Palace colluding with the Demon Tribe and the mainland in turmoil, they found themselves in the eye of the storm, precarious yet now united with Fu Qiankun and the others.

The sense of gloom dissipated significantly. After all, if chaos broke out in the world, they had so many experts standing behind them, which naturally brought them some comfort.
