Second floor, resting room.
The coffin was still placed at the door. Feng Yuan sat in front of the tea table and said to Mu Tianyang, "Close the door."
"Close the door?"
Mu Tianyang felt more and more uneasy. He turned around and closed the door, then stood at the door and looked at Feng Yuan silently.
Feng Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't be so restrained. Come and sit."
"That's not right!"
Mu Tianyang was a little hesitant.
"This old man told you to sit. Sit down quickly."
Feng Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Yes."
Mu Tianyang hurriedly ran to the tea table and sat opposite Feng Yuan, trembling with fear.
In fact, he was pretending to be afraid.
Although in terms of strength, he was thousands of miles away from Feng Yuan, as an Imperial Emperor, he was born with courage that ordinary people did not have.
Feng Yuan's aura was not enough to suppress him.
However, there was a saying that when one was under the eaves, one had to lower one's head. Sometimes, one had to pretend to be weak.
Feng Yuan made tea and asked, "Just now, you said that if this old man needs anything, I will tell you, right?"
"Yes."
Mu Tianyang nodded.
It was just a joke. Did he take it seriously?
"Good."
"From now on, follow this old man. This old man will guarantee that you will have a meteoric rise in the Empyrean Palace."
Feng Yuan said.
"This …"
Mu Tianyang's expression went blank. Wasn't this a little too direct? At least be a little more tactful!
Feng Yuan said, "I don't like to beat around the bush."
Mu Tianyang pondered for a while and said, "Temple Master, this is a little too sudden. Moreover, I don't think you will trust me."
Feng Yuan poured two cups of tea. He pushed one cup in front of Mu Tianyang and picked up the other cup himself. He placed it at the tip of his nose and sniffed it. Then, he took a sip and said, "Of course I won't trust you."
"Then why do you want me to follow you?"
Mu Tianyang frowned.
"Don't you know that there is a kind of control secret technique in this world that can control others' lives?"
Feng Yuan said.
"You want to control me?"
Mu Tianyang immediately stood up and glared at Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan said indifferently, "Don't be agitated. Sit down."
Mu Tianyang didn't sit down. He even wanted to turn around and leave.
What a joke.
As a God Monarch, how could he allow his life to be in the hands of others?
"I told you to sit down. Didn't you hear me?"
Feng Yuan's gaze turned cold, and his tone carried a commanding tone.
Mu Tianyang raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and returned to his seat.
"Don't get too worked up."
"Actually, this old man doesn't want to control you, and this old man has never controlled anyone before."
"But I'm sure you know that Ge Yong's betrayal was a huge blow to this old man."
"You might not know this, but those who are familiar with this old man know how well this old man treats Ge Yong."
"Not only did I promote and nurture him, I even took care of his family. It can be said that this old man treats him like my own son."
"But I never expected that he would betray me."
"Facing this matter, this old man's heart is pained!"
"I also learned from it that apart from family, there is no one in this world that is worthy of trust."
"Sometimes, you can't even trust your family."
"So, you have to understand this old man."
Feng Yuan said.
Mu Tianyang frowned. "I can understand your feelings, but I'm a person who doesn't like being controlled by others."
"But you have to know that sometimes, it's not up to you to choose."
"But don't worry. After this old man controls you, I won't force you to do anything. Everything depends on your willingness."
"Of course, if you follow me, we have to be of the same mind. Whether it's my enemy or your enemy, they are all our common enemies."
Feng Yuan smiled.
"This …"
Mu Tianyang hesitated.
"A wise man submits to circumstances."
"There's no harm in following this old man."
"If you really can't make a decision now, I can give you a few days to consider."
Feng Yuan said.
Mu Tianyang pondered for a moment and looked up at Feng Yuan. "Are you sure you won't force me?"
"Of course."
Feng Yuan nodded.
Mu Tianyang added, "Can you guarantee that I'll have a meteoric rise?"
"I can immediately appoint you as the manager of the Resource Hall. In other words, apart from me, everyone in the Resource Hall will have to obey your orders."
Feng Yuan said.
"That's like being above everyone else!"
Mu Tianyang was slightly tempted.
"Yes, that's right. Beneath one person and above all others."
Feng Yuan nodded.
"Alright."
Mu Tianyang clenched his teeth and said, "As long as you keep your word, I'll follow you."
"You're indeed a smart man."
Feng Yuan chuckled and performed a hand seal. A black seal the size of a baby's palm was swiftly formed.
The seal was a pentagram with a dark glow, emitting an eerie aura.
Feng Yuan said, "This is the Soul-Controlling Technique, able to control one's God Soul."
"Soul-Controlling Technique?"
Mu Tianyang observed the black seal and frowned. "I know quite a few Soul-Controlling Techniques, each of them has their own strengths. May I ask Hall Master, what's the strength of this Soul-Controlling Technique?"
"The strength of this Soul-Controlling Technique is that after being controlled, I can erase the other party's God Soul with just a thought."
Feng Yuan said.
"It's similar to the Slave Seal …"
Mu Tianyang mumbled and asked curiously, "I've heard of some Soul-Controlling Techniques that can peek into the other party's thoughts and sense the other party's location?"
"There is such a Soul-Controlling Technique."
"However, such Soul-Controlling Techniques are very rare."
"From what I've heard, only Legendary-level Soul-Controlling Techniques have this ability."
Feng Yuan said.
"What?"
"Only Legendary-level Soul-Controlling Techniques have this ability?"
"Does that mean the Slave Seal is Legendary-level?"
Mu Tianyang was secretly shocked.
He had not expected the Slave Seal to be so terrifying.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you afraid that I'll peek into your inner thoughts?"
Feng Yuan looked at Mu Tianyang and asked.
"If I don't do anything wrong, I won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on my door. What am I afraid of?"
"I'm just curious."
"I also want to see if there's a chance to get such a Soul-Controlling Technique."
Mu Tianyang said with a smile.
Feng Yuan said, "Don't even think about it. Even the Martial Arts Treasury doesn't have such a Soul-Controlling Technique. It might not even exist in the entire North Region."
A trace of disappointment crept onto Mu Tianyang's face.
"Enough."
"Relax your mind and don't resist. The process may be a little painful, but it will be over soon."
After Feng Yuan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the black seal turned into a stream of light and entered Mu Tianyang's head.
Mu Tianyang's body trembled immediately. His hands stared at the armrest of the chair, and his face was full of pain.
However, he did not even make a sound during the entire process.
It could be seen that his willpower was not inferior to Qin Feiyang's.
In less than a few breaths, the control was completed.
Feng Yuan also smiled. He looked at Mu Tianyang and said, "Since you have followed me, I won't treat you unfairly."
Feng Yuan took out an Interspatial Ring and threw it to Mu Tianyang.
"What's this?"
Mu Tianyang caught the Interspatial Ring and looked at Feng Yuan suspiciously.
Feng Yuan smiled and said, "These are the Soul Stones that I carry with me. There are about two to three hundred million!"
"Two to three hundred million!"
Mu Tianyang's eyes trembled. He immediately checked the Interspatial Ring and was stunned. There were indeed a mountain of Soul Stones in the Interspatial Ring.
"Are they all for me?"
After a while, Mu Tianyang came back to his senses. He looked up at Feng Yuan and asked in disbelief.
"Yes."
Feng Yuan nodded.
"Thank you, Temple Master!"
Mu Tianyang immediately got up and bowed to thank him.
Feng Yuan waved his hand and smiled. "We're all on the same side. There's no need to be so polite. By the way, I heard you say that you were forced to be with Jiang Haotian and the others. Why?"
"It's a long story."
"Actually, Jiang Haotian and I have known each other for a long time, and we have always been rivals."
Mu Tianyang sighed.
"Then why did Jiang Ruoshuang call you a heartless man in public when you entered Empyrean Palace?"
Feng Yuan was suspicious.
"It's their plan."
"Since Jiang Haotian and Feng Zijun had a conflict in the Treasure Pavilion, Jiang Haotian knew that you would not let him go."
"So, he wanted to drag me down with him to share some of the pressure."
"You've seen his methods. He's extremely scheming. I can't beat him at all."
Mu Tianyang sighed deeply. There was a trace of grievance in his expression.
"I see."
Feng Yuan suddenly understood and asked suspiciously, "Then what's his background?"
Mu Tianyang said, "He's the same as me, born in a small village. However, due to our good talent and luck, we've managed to obtain quite a bit of good fortune. That's why we've slowly reached where we are today."
Feng Yuan said meaningfully, "Your luck isn't an ordinary kind of good!"
"What do you mean?"
Mu Tianyang was suspicious.
"When you entered Empyrean Palace for the test, this old man was also observing in the Conference Hall. Your dagger should be a legendary divine weapon, right?"
Feng Yuan said.
"This …"
Mu Tianyang was a little flustered.
"Don't worry."
"Although legendary divine weapons are rare, it's not like this old man doesn't have any."
Feng Yuan smiled faintly.
"What?"
"You also have a legendary divine weapon?"
Mu Tianyang was shocked.
"Of course."
"After all, this old man is a Hall Master, the ruler of Empyrean Palace. How can I not have a trump card?"
"And not only this old man, Shangguan Fenglan, the ten great elders, and so on all have terrifying trump cards."
Feng Yuan said.
Mu Tianyang's face was blank. Waves were rolling in his heart. It seemed that he had underestimated Empyrean Palace.
"Alright then, go and do your work. This old man will arrange for you to be in charge of the Resource Hall."
"In the future, you'll be the manager of the Resource Hall."
Feng Yuan smiled.
"Thank you, Hall Master, for your help."
Mu Tianyang quickly got up and said respectfully.
Feng Yuan said, "This is just a small benefit. As long as you work hard for this old man, there will be bigger surprises in the future."
"Yes."
Mu Tianyang nodded, but after pondering for a while, he said, "But Hall Master, I feel that I shouldn't be in charge of the Resource Hall for the time being."
"Why?"
Feng Yuan looked at him doubtfully.
"Two reasons."
"First, I just came to the Resource Hall. If I become the manager of the Resource Hall, the others won't be convinced."
"Second, Jiang Haotian."
A cold light flashed in Mu Tianyang's eyes.
