While Granny Yao and the others were trapped by the Yin spirits, Daphne was freed from the shackles around him. He stood up abruptly and threw a jade scroll on the ground, saying, "Don't say that I didn't give you a chance. This is the list of disciples of the Taishang Orthodoxy. If you are willing to put your souls into the jade scroll and become an outer disciple, these Yin spirits … will naturally not make things difficult for you. Otherwise … hehe …"
He didn't say what the outcome would be, but all the cultivators knew in their hearts that every one of them was surrounded by countless Yin spirits!
These demonic spirits were formed from the resentment left behind by the Taishang Orthodoxy after the death of the Heavenly Tribulation. They had long lost their sentience and only had the most basic obsession left, which was to protect the Taishang Dao Palace and kill all living beings who came near. Moreover, their nature as Yin spirits made them indescribably sensitive to Qi. Once they sensed Qi, they would act like moths and extinguish it without a care for themselves.
Now that Fang Xing had the identity of the Taishang Dao Orthodoxy's disciple, he naturally wouldn't be attacked by the Yin spirits. On the other hand, Daphne had possessed the body of the Vermillion Bird, which had the aura of the Taishang Dao Palace. Moreover, when Fang Xing was controlling the Yin spirits, he had intentionally separated a strand of his divine sense to protect him. Although his control over the Yin spirits wasn't as strong, it was enough to protect him.
However, the other cultivators weren't so lucky. Under the attacks of the countless ferocious Yin spirits, they were completely surrounded. They immediately summoned their Core Light to protect their bodies. After all, they were all Golden Core Mahayana Realm cultivators. Their Core Light did have a suppressive effect on the Yin spirits. If there were only a few or even a few dozen Yin spirits, they would have bounced to the side and waited for an opportunity to escape. However, what they were facing now was nearly a hundred Yin spirits tearing at them and surrounding them with no regard for their lives. It was like a flood.
Under such circumstances, Daoist Zi of the Reverence Sky Clan, who was more powerful than the others, still had a space of thirty feet around him. However, Ling Long of the Reverence Moon Clan and Yu Long of the Royal Beast Clan, who were less powerful than the others, had already started to lose their luster …
What was more terrifying was that there were still countless Yin spirits swimming up from the Yellow Springs Sea, surging toward them like tigers preying on their prey.
This situation caused every cultivator who was trapped by the yin spirits to feel an emotion called "despair".
Not only were they struggling to hold on, even their subordinates didn't dare to step forward even though they weren't surrounded.
"The Taishang orthodoxy is such a transcendent existence. It's not a humiliation for you to be an outer disciple. Moreover, the title of outer disciple is only a title. If you make contributions, it's not impossible for you to be promoted …"
Daphne's gaze swept across the faces of each and every cultivator, and he coldly spoke in an enticing tone.
His goal was to force the cultivators to leave their spiritual will on the Supreme Dao Orthodoxy's jade booklet.
The current Fang Xing was the revered disciple of the Supreme Elder, and also the owner of the jade booklet. Simply put, as long as the cultivators sent their souls into the jade booklet, it would be equivalent to signing a master-servant contract with Fang Xing.
Of course, it would be easier for the cultivators to break through their psychological barriers.
However, Zhu Xiu gritted his teeth and held on. For a moment, no one answered him. Even Ling Long and Yu Long, who were on the verge of collapsing, remained silent.
As for Daoist Zi of the Fengtian Clan, who was the strongest among them, his expression was gloomy. No one knew if he was thinking of a way to escape.
"Fellow Daoists, how much longer can you hold on under the siege of the yin spirits?"
Daphne waited for a moment. When no one spoke, his voice became cold and stern. "I'm not a patient person. In fact, it's more in line with my intentions to kill all of you and take care of the rest of you. However, I've spared your lives because it wasn't easy for you to cultivate. Since you're so stubborn, don't blame us for being merciless. Little brat …"
At the end of his words, he glanced at Fang Xing and secretly signaled him with his eyes.
Fang Xing chuckled and suddenly made a hand seal. With a loud bang, the waves of the Yellow Springs rose even higher. More yin spirits than before surged out of the Yellow Springs. The layers of Death Qi were enough to drown the cultivators. Daoist Master Ling Long of the Fengtian Clan let out a shrill scream. Her hand that was making a hand seal trembled slightly …
"I … I admit defeat …"
Ling Long let out a scream and sent her Divine Soul into the jade book. Strangely enough, when her Divine Soul entered the jade book, a small rune appeared on the jade book. Her body was surrounded by a faint white aura. All the nether spirits that approached her were like a tide that flowed to the two sides. She let out a long breath and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"I … I also agree …" Another person spoke with great difficulty.
It was the Fengtian Clan's Grand Elder Fangzheng. With a low growl, he sent his Divine Soul into the jade book.
Almost at the same time, the Yushou Clan's Elder Ichthyosaur wailed and sent his Divine Soul into the jade book.
A cold glint flashed in Daphne's eyes. He looked at the Fengtian Clan's Daoist Zi and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, are you still hesitating? Your cultivation is profound. You're halfway to the Yuanying Realm. If it weren't for the chaotic laws of the Ultimate, you would've been halfway there, right? Don't you want to leave the Ultimate and go to the outside world to fight for a chance to reach the Yuanying Realm? But in the Ultimate, you'll end up being devoured by the yin spirits' clones? Hehe, if that happens, you won't even have your Divine Soul left! "
The Core Light in the Fengtian Clan's Daoist Zi had shrunk to a few feet. His brows were twitching rapidly.
Then, Daphne ignored him and looked at the Yushou Clan's Shi Nansha. He chuckled and said, "Young friend, you're quite talented. You're not even six hundred years old, right? You've actually cultivated to the Golden Core Mahayana Realm. Even in the outside world, it's not bad. Unfortunately, in the Ultimate, no matter how talented you are, you can only go around in this realm! "
Shi Nansha also gritted his teeth, but he didn't say a word …
Neither he nor Daoist Zi were fools. They could naturally tell that the jade book wasn't as simple as it seemed. It was most likely something like a soul contract. Thinking about how he was a Golden Core Mahayana Realm cultivator and the leader of a clan, how could he be willing to serve someone else as his master?
Cultivators were afraid of death, but they were also proud. Especially outstanding people like them, it wasn't easy to overcome this mentality!
"Old … Old monster, you're dreaming if you want to mislead us with your lies … Fellow Daoist Zi, Clan Leader Shi … Let's … fight the yin spirits together. Even if we die, let's fight to the death. Let's drag this old monster and that little brat along with us …"
Despair filled Granny Yao's heart, and she shouted with a sinister voice.
"Hahahaha …."
She hadn't finished speaking when Daphne suddenly roared with laughter and interrupted her. "How laughable! Do all of you want to fight to the death? I've been standing here all this time because I wanted to give all of you a chance. Let me ask you, while all of you resist the yin spirits, who else can withstand an attack from me? Now, the situation is clear. Surrender, send your soul into the jade book, and you'll be able to live. Moreover, you'll have endless resources and profound techniques to comprehend. Moreover, you'll be able to leave this damned place and experience the outside world. If you don't surrender, then your souls will perish! "
As soon as he finished speaking, his voice surged and created a deafening sound.
"He's right …."
After a long time, Shi Nansha suddenly sighed lightly. He waved his hand and sent a strand of his soul into the jade book. After that, he withdrew the pill light and lightly wiped away the layer of cold sweat on his forehead. His expression carried slight bitterness and helplessness ….
"Forget it …. Forget it …."
Daoist Zi of the Fengtian Clan's pill light had been squeezed by the yin spirits, and there was less than ten feet of space left. At this moment, he finally let out a long sigh and waved his hand to send a strand of his soul into the jade book. His gaze swept across Daphne and Fang Xing with a complicated expression. He said softly, "I'm willing to be a disciple of the Supreme Daoism, but I don't want to be a servant and be ordered around by others …."
Hearing that, Daphne hurriedly laughed and said, "Who dares to look down on you, fellow Daoist? Of course, I'll treat you with respect! "
"Are all of you … so afraid of death?!"
Granny Yao gritted her teeth and shouted. The yin spirits around her had almost formed a small hill.
Luo Musang kept complaining bitterly, "I'm willing to surrender, I'm willing to surrender, please give me a chance, Senior …"
However, even though he called out, he didn't dare to directly send his soul into the jade book.
Although he was panicking, he still understood that if he didn't get Fang Xing's approval, it would be useless for him to send his soul into Fang Xing's body. Not only would he not be able to live, but he would also be treated for nothing. Perhaps he would even suffer more humiliation and pain before he died.
The two of them had no choice but to hold on until the end.
However, they did not expect that just when they felt that they could not hold on any longer, Fang Xing, who had been standing on the Yellow Spring pretending to be an otherworldly master, suddenly shouted, "Damn it, I can't hold on any longer …" As he said that, he let out a howl and jumped down from the Yellow Spring. At the same time, he released the Taoist Seal in his hands and shook his hands continuously. His small face was extremely pale.
At the same time he released the seal, the tens of thousands of nether spirits in the surroundings suddenly retreated.
Daphne looked at him speechlessly and said, "Didn't I say that I have to hold on for at least 30 minutes?"
Fang Xing rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you give it a try? In any case, I can't hold on any longer …"
"He … he's actually holding on by force?"
Granny Yao and Luo Mu Sang had barely escaped death. They still hadn't recovered from the shock.
On the other hand, Daphne had already reached out and grabbed the jade book on the ground. He quickly stuffed it into Fang Xing's hand and shielded him with his body. His eyes swept across the faces of Daoist Zi of the Fengtian Clan, Grand Elder Fangzheng, Shi Nansha of the Beast Tamer Clan, Elder Fish Dragon, and Perfected Linglong of the Reverence Moon Clan. With a strange smile, he said, "Fellow Daoists, you are indeed wise to make the right choice. Now, it's time for you to prove your usefulness. How about I invite you to kill these two who refuse to submit?"
