Three days later, the group of youths in the ancient town reluctantly followed behind a group of people. Many of them had blank looks on their faces. Li Zhu was dead, so the seal on their souls was naturally not as tight as it was when he was alive, and a gap had appeared.
Therefore, even if Chu Mo did not bring them around to see the world, this group of hot-blooded youths had all begun to have doubts about what had happened before.
The girl named Xiao He, who was previously captured by Chu Mo to serve Shen Aobing, was now following beside Chu Mo. Her pair of lively eyes looked around, and she seemed to have something to say.
"Why? What do you want to say? "Chu Mo asked.
"No … nothing." Xiao He's mood seemed to become a little depressed, and she said softly, "It's just that … I suddenly remembered something."
"Oh?" Chu Mo glanced at her.
Xiao He's eyes began to redden, and she said softly, "I remembered how I came to that ancient town."
At this time, the other youths also looked in her direction. Not everyone could recall those sealed memories. Although Li Zhu was dead, the seal on his soul was still there, and the size of the gap on everyone's seal was also different.
They might doubt anything that Chu Mo said, but it was easier to accept the words of their companions.
"I was probably born in a noble family. My identity was the youngest legitimate daughter of my family. My father, mother, and my family all treated me very well." Xiao He seemed to be recalling something, and she murmured softly, "So that day, when you asked me to serve Senior Shen, deep in my heart, I was very unwilling …"
Chu Mo was silent and did not speak. These fifty or so talented youths were all selected by Li Zhu from all over the White Tiger continent. As for the process of selection, it was needless to say that it was definitely not a pleasant one.
"When I was very young, I revealed some talent in cultivation. However, my parents did not want me to enter a sect. They wanted me to stay within their line of sight for the rest of my life, to be able to live happily." As Xiao He spoke, tears began flowing down her cheeks.
Miao Yiniang walked to Xiao He's side, held her hand gently and said, "Little sister, it's all in the past. If you don't like your current life, we can actually send you home."
Chu Mo glanced at Miao Yiniang but didn't say anything. Obviously, this girl named Xiao He, who could break through the Spirit Seal and remember so many things so quickly without Chu Mo's help, was obviously an extremely talented person.
If possible, Chu Mo would certainly not let go of such a good seedling.
However, everyone had their own ideals and loved ones. They should have the right to choose their own lives. Otherwise, how big of a difference would there be between him and Li Zhu in terms of essence? Therefore, with regards to Miao Yiniang's promise, Chu Mo did not object.
If Xiao He was really unwilling to leave her home and go to the Azure Dragon continent with him, then Chu Mo would also grant her wish.
"I … I don't have a home anymore!" Xiao He's face was covered in tears as she sobbed, "Master … No, it's that demon Li Zhu. After he discovered me, he wanted to forcefully take me away. My family rebelled, but in the end … "
At this point, Xiao He was completely speechless. She was extremely sad.
Miao Yi's mother held Xiao He in her arms, gently patted her back and said, "Just cry, just cry it out."
In the end, there was no need to listen. Not to mention nobles, even if Xiao He's family was from the royal family, they were still ordinary people in the secular world. In front of a group of Xiantian Realm experts, there was no room for resistance. At this moment, the corpses were probably already rotten.
When the other youths heard Xiao He's words, their faces all turned a little pale. A few of the youths suddenly cried out, hugged their heads and rolled on the ground, howling in pain.
Miao Yiniang and the rest revealed looks of pity, but there was nothing they could do. Some things had to be endured by themselves.
Chu Mo could indeed release the seal on their souls, but the prerequisite was for these youths to completely open their minds. After experiencing the incident with Li Zhu, how many people would be able to completely open their minds to a stranger? What if Chu Mo was the second Li Zhu?
And there was another point, the most crucial problem. If Chu Mo used spells to remove the divine soul seals on these people, fundamentally speaking, it was tantamount to another form of divine soul control!
It was just to let these youths completely forget about Li Zhu, but in the depths of their hearts, they would be branded with Chu Mo's mark.
Chu Mo did not want to do that, he hoped that these people could be himself.
Although freedom was not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people, in Chu Mo's eyes, freedom was still very important.
If a person could not even freely control his own thoughts, what was the difference between him and a puppet?
Very soon, those youths who had fallen to the ground and howled in pain all stopped groaning in pain, but all of them sat there in a daze. Many of their faces were filled with tears.
Obviously, all of them had also recalled everything!
The method that Li Zhu used was actually not at all new. It was nothing more than sealing a part of these youths' memories, and then branding his own mark in the depths of their hearts. To let this group of hot-blooded and naive youths mistakenly think that he was the best person in this world, and that he should be their natural master!
In the secular world, there were some people who were good at brainwashing people. They would repeatedly instill a point of view in others, and in the end, they would make that person completely believe in that point of view. This method was actually a kind of control on the soul, but it was a very low-level one.
Li Zhu's method was not brainwashing, but directly "washing" the soul!
In this way, those whose souls had been "washed" would never betray him.
Unless he died one day, these people would slowly, bit by bit, forget about him. However, if there were no external stimuli, even if he died, some people would never betray him for the rest of their lives!
Chu Mo's appearance was this external stimulus. He brought them to see the places that Li Zhu and Outer Space had wreaked havoc, and the evil deeds that they had done, which was also a stimulus from the outside world.
Through Li Zhu's death, a crack appeared in the seal on their souls, and then through these external stimuli, the crack became bigger and bigger!
Now it seemed that Chu Mo's goal had been achieved.
More than half of these youths had painful and struggling expressions on their faces. It was obvious that this was the result of the crack becoming bigger and bigger.
However, there were still a few people who were stubborn and looked at Chu Mo with extreme hatred. One of them was the most obvious, and even angrily rebuked with a flushed face, "Sorcery! You want to use this sorcery to make us betray our master? Stop dreaming, we will never betray our master! "
