With his subordinate's reminder, Ghost Annihilation recalled the method that the human had taught him the last time he entered the Five Elemental Dao Palace. He had never used it before, so he didn't know if it would work. However, in the current situation, Ghost Annihilation clearly didn't have much time to hesitate. He gritted his teeth and immediately followed the human's instructions.
The leader of the Ghost Chanters bent his knees and knelt on the ground. He took a deep breath and shouted in Xiao Chen's direction, "Father, please spare my life..."
Father, spare my life? Xiao Chen, who was in the midst of a fierce battle with the Nian Gui, staggered when he heard the angry roar. He looked at the leader of the Nian Gui with a strange expression.
What was going on? Why was his father asking for mercy in the middle of the fight? Could it be that these Mind Reading Ghosts were so smart? You can't win, so you kneel down and call me daddy?
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. When he saw that Xiao Chen had indeed stopped after he called him father, he was overjoyed and immediately yelled at the surviving tribesmen.
"Kneel down, quickly kneel down."
Under the orders of the leader of the Spirit Reading Ghosts, the remaining ten or so Spirit Reading Ghosts knelt before Xiao Chen. Then, under the lead of the Spirit Reading Ghosts, the Spirit Reading Ghosts shouted continuously.
"Father, spare me, spare me, spare me!"
Xiao Chen was a little confused when he saw these Ghost Readers kneeling on the ground and calling him Daddy. They had already called him Daddy, so it was a little difficult for him to make a move.
This was the first time Xiao Chen had encountered such a situation. He stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded. He was also rendered speechless by these Mind Readers. They were fighting to the death just a second ago, and the next second, they were all kneeling down and calling him daddy. This was just too …
Furthermore, what Xiao Chen found most unacceptable was that these Mind Reading Ghosts seemed to be getting more and more fluent in calling out the word 'father' in unison.
Xiao Chen didn't know that the Ghost Reading Ghosts didn't know what the word 'father' meant. Unlike humans, the Ghost Reading Ghosts didn't have the concept of parents. They were only born because of the Five Elemental Dao Palace. Therefore, the Ghost Reading Ghosts didn't know the meaning of the word 'father' at all. To them, calling out the word 'father' was a sign of admitting defeat, and this was taught to them by a human.
He wondered who taught these Spirit Reading Ghosts to kneel down and call him father when they couldn't defeat him. This person was definitely a genius.
Their voices were uniform. Moreover, when they saw that Xiao Chen really did not continue to attack, the Spirit Readers were overjoyed. They shouted even louder. Moreover, as they shouted for their father to spare their lives, they revealed expressions of joy and gratitude.
Finally, the fiend had stopped. It seemed that the human didn't lie to them last time. Shouting 'father, spare my life' was really useful.
They screamed for their father to spare their lives, but in the end, it was Xiao Chen who told them to shut up. Only then did they stop.
Xiao Chen walked over to the leader of the Spirit Reading Ghosts speechlessly. Seeing that Xiao Chen had walked over, the leader of the Spirit Reading Ghosts was shocked. He instinctively knelt down and shouted, "Father, please spare my life …"
"Shut up." Xiao Chen immediately shouted when he saw that the leader of the Spirit Reading Ghosts was about to shout again.
Xiao Chen's battle intent slowly subsided after being interrupted by the Spirit Reading Ghosts. He felt a little helpless. After some questioning, Xiao Chen found out that the phrase 'father to spare their lives' was taught to them by a human from the Heavenly Chen Continent. He said that if they met a human that they couldn't defeat, as long as they shouted the word 'father', they would be able to turn the situation around.
Xiao Chen didn't expect that this was taught to the Spirit Reading Ghosts by a human. Hearing this, the corner of his mouth twitched. What a genius. This guy was definitely a genius.
In the end, Xiao Chen didn't go on a killing spree. After some discussion, the leader of the Spirit Reading Ghosts chose to surrender and was willing to follow Xiao Chen everywhere.
Thinking about it, it would be a good choice to have a group of loyal Spirit Reading Ghosts as his subordinates in the Five Dao Palace. After all, they would definitely know more about the Five Dao Palace. Moreover, he could send them out to look for other people. This would save Xiao Chen a lot of trouble.
After accepting the leader of the Spirit Reading Ghosts' surrender, Xiao Chen did an inventory. He had killed a total of 43 Spirit Reading Ghosts. However, he only obtained five Dao Thought Seeds. Fortunately, Xiao Chen obtained five Dao Thought Seeds of the Five Elements. There was one seed of each element, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
They were thumb-sized and looked like seeds. However, they emitted a faint white light.
Forty-three Spirit Reading Ghosts, but only five Dao Thought Seeds. This probability was too low. Moreover, these five Dao Thought Seeds all came from the Spirit Reading Ghosts that were comparable to the Earth Mirror.
In other words, it was impossible for a Thought Ghost below the Earth Mirror to possess a Seed of Dao Will. Only after reaching the Earth Mirror would a Thought Ghost's body contain a Seed of Dao Will. As for a Thought Ghost at the Celestial Realm, the probability was higher.
"Sigh, it seems that I don't have to consider the Spirit Reading Ghosts below the Earth Mirror anymore. I can only obtain Dao Thought Seeds by killing the Spirit Reading Ghosts above the Earth Mirror." Xiao Chen sighed helplessly and murmured softly.
Just as Xiao Chen put away the five Dao Thought Seeds, the leader of the Spirit Reading Ghosts stepped forward respectfully and said, "Father, the room is ready."
Since he had subdued the Spirit Reading Ghost Tribe, Xiao Chen planned to use it as a base to slowly search for the prodigies who had entered the Five Elemental Dao Palace with him. However, when he heard the leader of the Spirit Reading Ghosts call him father, Xiao Chen said unhappily, "You're not allowed to call me father in the future. Do you understand?"
It was unknown if these Spirit Reading Ghosts had a screw loose. After seeing that their father had spared their lives, they stubbornly believed that the word "father" was magical. As long as they met a human from the Heavenly Chen Continent, no matter what the situation was, they could resolve it with just the word "father". Therefore, even though Xiao Chen had already let them off, they still insisted on calling Xiao Chen "father".
"Yes, father," the leader of the Spirit Reading Ghosts replied respectfully when he heard Xiao Chen's shout.
He was completely speechless. No matter what he said, these guys had no intention of changing their words. Helpless, Xiao Chen walked directly to the wooden house that had been arranged for him. This wooden house originally belonged to the leader of the Spirit Reading Ghosts, but now it had become Xiao Chen's residence.
Xiao Chen wanted to test the effects of the Dao Thought Seeds. He walked quickly to the room with anticipation. However, wherever he passed, the Spirit Reading Ghosts would stop what they were doing and respectfully call out to Xiao Chen when they saw him.
"Father."
Under the respectful greetings, Xiao Chen walked into the wooden house with a speechless expression. Once he closed the door, it was finally quiet.
He sat down cross-legged and took out the five Dao Thought Seeds. He smiled and said, "Let me see if these Dao Thought Seeds are really that magical."
He couldn't wait to test the effects of the Dao Thought Seeds. With that, Xiao Chen swallowed the five Dao Thought Seeds.
