第两千零四十一章 可怜的墨蛟王

Could he be blind?

A Great Profound Knowledge cultivator was someone he could offend.

As the saying goes, one who does not know is not to be blamed. But now that they had seen the real person, and he still did this... it was like an old man hanging himself, wishing for a longer life.

Was it possible that Lord Black Dragon wasn't foolish, but had gone mad from cultivation?

All around him were expressions of shock.

However, their thoughts were actually unfair to Lord Black Dragon.

When Lin Xuan first appeared, he indeed got scared. His whole back was drenched in cold sweat. Could it be that his guess was wrong? This Crystal Heart Valley did have a Great Profound Knowledge cultivator?

The fear in his heart was obvious. He almost knelt down and begged for mercy.

But before he could complete the action, he habitually released his divine sense to scan Lin Xuan's body quickly.

Then his expression became very strange.

He couldn't feel any pressure or flow of essence energy from him. Was this a mistake? Even if the other party was a Great Profound Knowledge cultivator, at such close range, just a few dozen feet away, he shouldn't be unable to discern their strength.

He firmly believed in that.

The only possible explanation for this situation was that Lord Black Dragon couldn't see it. That was normal. Thus, he met his tragic fate.

Although Lin Xuan knew the misunderstanding wasn't Lord Black Dragon's fault, he still didn't plan on letting him go. Mercy to women was not advisable; who made trouble deserved punishment.

Moreover, at this moment, he had initiated the attack himself. Heaven punishes those who sow their own karma.

Lin Xuan did nothing but released his repressed aura.

Boom!

The pressure of essence energy clashed together.

Great Profound Knowledge and Profound Knowledge were on different levels.

When Lin Xuan was still a Profound Knowledge cultivator, he had been chased by the Poison Dragon Ancestor to the point where he almost couldn't find heaven or earth. But now his strength far surpassed that of the Poison Dragon Ancestor.

Thus, Lord Black Dragon met with great misfortune. His pressure seemed to be sucked into an endless vortex.

The next moment, it bounced back tenfold.

"No..." Lord Black Dragon finally realized something was wrong and showed fear on his face. However, he couldn't dodge in time. With a loud "bang," the rebounding essence energy hit him, sending him flying.

He fell from the Crystal Heart Pagoda, looking exactly like the guardsman he had just been thrown away by.

It was truly karma coming full circle; justice was served.

Lin Xuan didn't even raise an eyebrow. Although the other party had fallen out of his sight, Lin Xuan wasn't worried about him escaping.

Although this guy was overambitious and lacked talent, his intelligence couldn't be that low. He firmly believed he wouldn't make a mistake in judgment.

Sure enough, after just a few breaths, a light flashed, and Lord Black Dragon returned. Blood stains covered his chest, and the flashy armor he wore had multiple cracks. His earlier arrogance was nowhere to be seen; instead, fear filled his face.

He knew he made a big mistake.

It was too foolish. The speculation turned out to be wrong. Baye Xuan Pavilion did indeed have a Great Profound Knowledge cultivator. Otherwise, even the former Wang Ting Building's top expert in the Heavenly Cloud Twelve States wouldn't have been defeated so badly by just pressure of essence energy alone.

Only now did Lord Black Dragon feel his chest filled with blood rushing and his meridians throbbing painfully. This made him more fearful and terrified. Facing such a powerful existence, he had no means to resist; it was like dealing with an ant.

"Senior, please spare me your life. Please don't hold this against me. It's all my fault. I deserve death. I'm foolish," Lord Black Dragon said as he kept bowing and even slapped himself in the face. Although such actions were embarrassing, his life was at stake; what mattered was survival.

Knowing that, he had a bloodline of a heavenly spirit beast and the lifespan of a demon race was much longer than humans. Even if stuck at a bottleneck, unable to advance further, he still had ten thousand years left. He didn't want to die so easily.

"Do you know your mistake?"

Lin Xuan said calmly. In his eyes, the other party was just fish on a chopping board; he could cut them however he pleased. Thus, there was no need for anger.

"Senior, please spare me," Lord Black Dragon trembled all over and desperately kept bowing to Lin Xuan.

"Do you want to spare me?"

Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile. Lord Black Dragon didn't dare lift his head; he knew he had no room for resistance. Whether or not he would be reduced to ashes was up to the other party: "It can be done, but death is forgivable, life isn't. If you want to live, you must give me one soul and one essence."

"One soul and one essence?"

Lord Black Dragon's face turned pale. Could it be that... the other party wanted to perform a Soul Sealing术 on him, making him his pet for eternity?

He didn't want to lose his freedom, but compared to death, this was nothing. Moreover, he was an Inertial Period cultivator; as long as he served well, there might even be benefits. With such thoughts, his depression gradually lifted.

"Senior, do you want me to become your pet? Fine, I can serve a great cultivator like you," Lord Black Dragon said, flattering himself.

Little did he know that Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile: "Become my pet? You're mistaken. A mere Profound Knowledge period dragon isn't even worth my attention."

"Why...?" Lord Black Dragon was confused.

"You're not foolish; you only guessed half right. I do want one soul and one essence, but it won't be as your pet," Lin Xuan said, "but as Ying'er's."

"Your pet?"

Lu Ying'er was stunned.

Others were also surprised, their expressions filled with shock.

Lord Black Dragon thought he had heard wrong; he was heartbroken: "Senior, you... You want me to become this little girl's pet?"

It wasn't surprising that he felt depressed. He was already at the middle Profound Knowledge period, while the other party was just an Inertial Period cultivator. As her pet? How could he face people after that? It would make him a laughingstock in the cultivation world.

"Do you not want to do it?"

Lin Xuan's voice turned cold. He had provoked this trouble; as a mere ant, he didn't have any room for negotiation.

"No, I'll just..." The moment his eyes met Lin Xuan's piercing gaze, Lord Black Dragon shivered involuntarily. There was no anger in those eyes; only indifference. In his eyes, he was an ant that would be crushed without hesitation.

A single word of disagreement and he would be reduced to ashes.

Forget it, being ridiculed wasn't a big deal.

As long as he could survive, ridicule didn't matter.

Between fish and bear's paw, Lord Black Dragon chose to be a coward.

With a gritted teeth: "It was all my fault. Do whatever you say."

"Alright."

Lin Xuan nodded. "You made the right choice. So, let's get this over with; your soul can come out now."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan waved his hand and an ink-black wooden tablet flew out, about the size of a palm. This was obviously a magical tool to seal one soul and one essence.

"Ying'er, catch it."

"Oh!"

Lu Ying'er reflexively extended her jade hand and caught the black Soul Sealing tablet. However, she showed signs of confusion on her face; this matter was too unexpected, leaving her unprepared.

"Master, you want him to be my pet?" Lu Ying'er said uncertainly. After all, it was a mid-Profound Knowledge period dragon. Could their master really do that?

Lin Xuan, being such an intelligent person, naturally understood what she was worried about and showed encouragement: "Don't worry; with my help, I can make it happen."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Since Lin Xuan said so, Lu Ying'er naturally did as instructed. In her heart, Master was all-powerful, like a god.

Moreover, having a mid-Profound Knowledge period dragon as a pet was tempting enough for her.

The other cultivators in the hall, including Liu Ying and Kang Xiaoru, also showed envy, their expressions filled with admiration. Lord Black Dragon wasn't just an individual; he had the powerful Black Dragon Valley backing him up.

Thus, Baye Xuan Pavilion's influence would skyrocket. However, envy was useless; who cared if they were being taken care of by Lin Xuan?

The process went smoothly with Lin Xuan watching. Lord Black Dragon didn't dare play tricks anymore. The Soul Sealing术 was completed without any issues!
