"You've been bitten by a snake, and you can still shout so loudly? Doesn't it hurt? "
Duanmu Li teased.
With his personality, he wouldn't normally put people in such a difficult position. The main thing was that this matter was too unexpected.
The monarch of the Jin Kingdom had been cuckolded. If this news were to spread, it would be recorded in the history books and become a laughing stock for thousands of years.
But looking at the current situation of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, everyone could understand the queen's actions.
At the age of forty, she still had no children. If this continued, she would be crippled sooner or later. Moreover, it was said that the Empress was very strong-willed. She and the King of Jin had known each other for a long time, and they worked together to conquer the territory of the Jin Kingdom.
It could be said that one-third of the Jin Kingdom belonged to the Empress. If she didn't have any children, it would be taken advantage of by others. Moreover, because they had been through thick and thin together for the past 20 years, the King of Jin didn't suspect that the Empress was deceiving him.
The Empress did this purely for the sake of power.
However, this had nothing to do with Duanmu Li.
Pa!
Duanmu Li casually tossed Wanyan Zhenghe aside. Without the Huang Jin bloodline, he was no longer qualified to be a sacrifice. He was no different from trash.
Without waiting for Duanmu Li's instructions, a Star General directly grabbed Wanyan Mei.
Wanyan Zhenghe lay on the ground, his breathing weak. Although he had survived for the time being, he felt even more despair because losing his identity as the Jin Kingdom's crown prince was even more terrifying than killing him.
This was also the reason why he let out a cry of life when he was on the verge of death.
"Princess Wanyan, may I borrow some of your blood?"
Duanmu Li looked at Wanyan Mei's pale face and smiled gently. "Don't worry, I will do my best to preserve your life. After all, your brain is too valuable."
If he spared Wanyan Mei's life instead of directly sacrificing her life, the difficulty of the sacrifice would increase. However, Duanmu Li was a person who cherished talents and could not bear to kill her.
"Hurry up!"
Murong Ye urged. He could not wait any longer.
Duanmu Li's little snake once again crawled out of his sleeve and crawled onto Wan Yanmei's body before entering her collar.
Drip! Drip!
Blood flowed down from Wanyan Mei's body.
Under the clothes that no one could see, the small snake slithered across Wanyan Mei's skin, leaving behind a strange pattern.
This was the Four Symbols Soul Formation!
Pa!
When the spirit array was completed, Duanmu Li threw Wan Yanmei into a pool of blood.
At this time, the blood of the sacrificial offerings that had their heads covered had also been drained.
Duanmu Li's giant tortoise suddenly emitted a dark red mist. Following that, its body grew larger and it crawled in front of Wan Yanmei. It stuck out its tongue and licked the blood flowing out of her body.
Gulp! Gulp!
The turtle's mouth had a very strong suction force. The blood on the ground flowed into its mouth. Then, mysterious and profound golden patterns lit up on its body.
Wu! Wu! Wu!
The tortoise let out an indescribable groan, and the blood mist it emitted became thicker and thicker. Soon, it enveloped the entire Dragonheart Hall.
About three minutes later, the pictures of the ancient beasts on the walls began to glow. Then, amidst the rumbling sounds, they actually began to swim like goldfish in a fish tank.
When the captives saw this scene, their minds shook violently.
The Four Symbols Star Lords were actually this terrifying?
"It's over. The Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture is going to be lost."
As a member of the barbarian race, Helian Xue felt extremely sorrowful. Once this ultimate divine art was lost, the Dragon Subduing Academy would no longer have a unique ultimate art. Their decline would become a fact, and the students on the plains would have no future.
At this moment, Helian Xue was a great teacher and shouldered the future of countless students on the plains. He gritted his teeth and pounced toward that giant tortoise.
No matter what, he had to stop the ritual.
Usually speaking, the difficulty of such a ritual was extremely high. Any mistake might result in a backlash. Helian Xue knew that he wouldn't be able to kill Duanmu Li, so he could only use this method to try his luck.
It was a pity that he forgot that there was still Murong Ye beside him.
Helian Xue had just dashed out of the crowd and was less than three meters away when Murong Ye flicked his finger and a fingernail-sized ball of spirit qi shot out.
Swoosh!
The ball of light flew out and with a poof, penetrated Helian Xue's glabella and came out from his head, leaving behind a hole.
Plop!
Helian Xue fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, dying with everlasting regret.
"Secondary Saint Murong, aren't you a little too ruthless?"
Duanmu Li frowned.
To speak the truth, what he hated the most was this kind of meaningless killing. There was no technical content at all.
"They are going to die anyway. What's the difference if they die earlier or later?"
Murong Ye acted as if he had just stepped on a fly, not taking it to heart at all.
"Planet Lord Duanmu, on the path to your ultimate dream, there will always be interludes like this. If you keep dwelling on it, how are you going to progress?"
Murong Ye persuaded.
He felt that Duanmu Li was too soft-hearted and that his future achievements would only be like this.
No!
He had forgotten that he no longer had a future.
When the captives saw that Helian Xue had been killed, a commotion broke out and their expressions became even more panicked. However, everyone was like a grasshopper in a cage and had no chance to struggle at all.
"Teacher Sun, what should we do?"
Jiang Ji asked in a low voice. He didn't wish to sit still and wait for death, but he couldn't think of a solution and could only seek Sun Mo's advice.
Luckily, everyone's attention was placed on this mysterious spirit ritual and didn't notice Sun Mo and Jiang Ji.
"Let's act according to the situation!"
Sun Mo was also helpless.
In the face of absolute power, no amount of schemes or plots would be of any use.
To put it bluntly, Murong Ye's spirit qi light ball would be able to instantly kill him.
However, Sun Mo didn't despair.
As the ultimate divine art of the Dragon Subduing Academy, the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture mustn't be leaked out. If Murong Ye really had the lofty aspirations he spoke of, he'd definitely not let Duanmu Li take it away.
It could be said that there would definitely be a battle between the two of them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Dragonheart Great Hall was trembling and the spirit qi was vibrating intensely. Even major characters like Murong Ye and Duanmu Li couldn't help but reveal an excited expression.
In the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, a secondary saint would always be more respected than cultivators of the same level. It was because other than their battle prowess, their intelligence was the source of their confidence.
The development of any field or subject was always pushed forward by intelligence.
Duanmu Li was a great grandmaster in the art of beast taming and had always been researching the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture. Murong Ye had also gathered a tremendous amount of information. The two secondary saints worked together and finally found a way to forcefully break the Dragon Subduing Hall's seal without using a contract.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the golden light shone like the first rays of the morning sun, causing the blood mist in the hall to dissipate without a trace, like mist that had been shone by the sunlight on a winter morning.
Roar!
Amidst a world-shaking roar, the soul shadow of a huge dragon appeared.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A terrifying ancient mental pressure gushed out like a tsunami, gushing through everyone's nerves.
"Ahh!"
Among the captives, there were some students whose wills were too weak. Right now, when the soul pressure swept through them, they let out agonizing cries. It was as though they were being eaten by a huge ancient beast.
Plop! Plop!
The bodies of the students ruptured, spurting fresh blood and dying on the spot.
The countenances of everyone present changed. Only Murong Ye and Duanmu Li were dazzled as they stared at this dragon soul shadow.
"It's really too beautiful!"
Duanmu Li exclaimed.
The dragon soul was an illusory image, but the scales on its body were still vivid and lifelike, shining with golden light. It had four legs, each with five claws. On its head, there were huge horns. It didn't look malevolent or terrifying, but imposing and domineering.
Its body curled up a little and stared at these tiny ants.
It exuded might without being angry.
"..."
Sun Mo looked at this huge dragon and felt that it was similar to the eastern huge dragon described in the legends. It was just that in the Central Province, it was a real existence and not a fantasy creature.
"I'm the headmaster of the Dragon Subduing Academy, Murong Ye. It's an honor to meet you!"
Murong Ye bowed slightly.
He had assassinated Xiao Fulong, but so what?
From his point of view, the world view of an ancient beast should be that the weak were prey to the strong. Now that he had won, he had the qualifications to become the leader of the Dragon Subduing Academy and protect this place together with it.
However, the dragon soul didn't reply to him.
"I'm Duanmu Li."
Duanmu Li only gave a simple introduction, but he had already started to communicate with the dragon soul through the beast taming technique.
Sun Mo's guess was right. Both of them wanted to monopolize this dragon soul and didn't want to share a single scale with the other party.
The dragon soul stopped its mental might but didn't say anything.
Murong Ye looked at Murong Mingyue, and the latter shook her head. She had no confidence in controlling this dragon soul, at least not within a short period of time.
Troublesome!
Murong Ye frowned slightly and looked at Duanmu Li.
"You first!"
Duanmu Li was very gentlemanly and let Murong Ye go first.
Back then, when they were working together, the two of them had agreed that it would belong to whoever obtained the dragon soul's recognition.
"Many thanks!"
Murong Ye said politely and looked at the dragon soul sincerely again. "I feel that you must have suffered a lot being sealed here. It won't happen again in the future. I'll remove the restrictions here, but I have a condition. You must continue to protect the Dragon Subduing Academy."
Murong Ye was a secondary saint after all, so he couldn't bring himself to say that he would listen to his orders.
Jiang Ji secretly tugged at Sun Mo.
Sun Mo turned his head and saw that Jiang Ji was eager to give it a try.
"This might be the key to breaking out of this situation!"
Jiang Ji mouthed, preparing to speak to the dragon soul. If he obtained its recognition, the situation would be reversed.
Sun Mo shook his head.
(Can you be more naive?
Murong Ye and Duanmu Li would probably kill you the moment you opened your mouth.)
(It's better to wait slowly!)
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in Sun Mo's mind.
"Sun Mo, do you want to work together with me?"
Sun Mo was shocked and his brows subconsciously twitched. However, he soon endured it and even lowered his head.
As expected, at the next instant, Duanmu Li turned his head and stared at Sun Mo with a sharp gaze.
In his heart, Sun Mo was too outstanding and proficient in the art of spiritual control. Sun Mo was an enemy that he had to pay attention to at all times.
He knew that Sun Mo had gotten full marks in the spiritual control examination paper in the 2-star great teacher examination.
If it wasn't for Sun Mo's quick reaction, his abnormality would definitely be discovered.
"As expected, I didn't judge wrongly. You're the right person."
The dragon soul felt very gratified when it noticed this scene.
"..."
Sun Mo was a little speechless. (Your words are very ambiguous.)
"There's not much time. Cut it short, I need you."
The dragon soul spoke bluntly.
"What do you mean?"
Sun Mo didn't seem to understand, but given his intelligence, he guessed the reason immediately.
What the dragon soul needed should be the Freedom Proof of His Spirit. This was the divine language of spiritual control and had extremely high authority. It could remove almost all known spiritual contracts in the Nine Provinces.
Clearly, this dragon soul didn't want to continue being bound here.
Of course, he had used it before but didn't succeed. It was either because there was a seal here or it was ineffective against those dragonmen.
There was no problem in helping this dragon soul, but there was no room for discussion if he was to put himself in danger.
"Use the divine language of spiritual control to help me remove the contract."
The dragon soul spoke, "Of course, I won't let you suffer a loss. Don't you know the Freedom Proof? I can accept it and become your partner in battle. "
Look at how it used the term 'ancient giant beast'. How good was it at raising its value? To put it bluntly, it was just a battle pet.
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo laughed lightly. Those who were unaccountably solicitous were hiding evil intentions.
This was the dragon soul. Look at how the two secondary saints had spent tens of years of effort to obtain it.
"I've been imprisoned here for over 10,000 years. I don't want to live like this anymore. You should understand that those two are too powerful. No matter what they say, I won't believe them."
The dragon soul explained.
This was understandable. When the strength of both parties wasn't equal, the final outcome of all contracts would be based on the mood of the strong.
The negotiation was going well now, but when the strong tore up the contract, the weak wouldn't even have time to cry.
"To speak the truth, I'm also afraid of your worries!"
Sun Mo chuckled.
To the dragon soul, he was a weakling. What if he was devoured and became its servant?
"I can make an oath!"
The dragon soul had long considered this problem. "And have you ever thought about why I would choose you when there are so many people here?"
"Because I broke the record for the fastest time?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"That's right. Your potential value is extremely high and your future achievements should be the greatest. Even if the dragon soul chooses a companion, it will be someone like you."
The dragon soul explained.
"That Murong Mingyue and Jiang Ji beside me are both not bad."
Sun Mo's lips twitched.
"That guy is indeed a one-in-a-million elite, but you are even better than him. That girl isn't bad either. Her talent is comparable to yours, but she has a big problem. Her mentality is too weak and she doesn't have a sense of self."
The dragon soul's words seemed to have turned into Sun Mo, making Sun Mo feel embarrassed.
Also, Sun Mo agreed with the dragon soul's evaluation of Murong Mingyue. Although this girl was a great grandmaster in puppetry, she was like Murong Ye's puppet.
Murong Ye used the glory of his tribe, the rise and fall of his clan, and the suffering of his clansmen to kidnap her and make her die for him.
Therefore, people who were too kind would always have their weaknesses grasped by those who had no bottom line.
"Actually, you don't have to worry. I'm the dragon soul, a spirit body. Although my lifespan isn't immortal, it won't be a problem for me to live for hundreds of thousands of years. To you, 1,000 years is too long, but to me, it might just be the time of an afternoon nap."
The dragon soul persuaded patiently. "Sun Mo, I have plenty of time. I can wait until you die naturally. There's no need for me to harm you."
Sun Mo hesitated.
