"Ten breaths. If you don't make a choice within ten breaths, I will choose the second path for you!" Ling Dong's cold voice once again sounded in the empty hall, making the ten half-step Zhou Tian gods even more nervous.
Some of them were still unwilling to give up and tried to see if they could break free from Ling Dong's restraint. However, it was fine if they didn't try. Once they tried to break free from the indescribable restraint, the restraining force immediately increased by several times. It squeezed their bones to the point that they made cracking sounds and wanted to grind them into bone powder.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Five!"
Ling Dong merely coldly counted down. His counting voice was like a demonic voice that chased after one's soul, causing the expressions of the ten half-step Heavenly Cycle Righteous Gods to turn extremely miserable.
Ling Dong's eyes were slightly smug. This feeling of being in control was too good.
In fact, Ling Dong had discovered before that in the Myriad Stars House, Ling Dong's thoughts seemed to be able to be amplified without limit, but at that time, it was not as perfect as it was now.
However, ever since he met Mu Yuan in the Dragon's Peace Star Palace and Mu Yuan gave him the jade talisman that recorded some information about his old master, the Star Demon, especially some important treasures of the Star Demon, Ling Dong learned about this function of the Residence of Ten Thousand Stars.
As long as the cultivator who owned the Myriad Stars House could control the Star Master Plate and integrate the Star Master Plate with the Myriad Stars House, then the Myriad Stars House would immediately become a space with an owner.
And the owner of this Ten Thousand Stars Mansion that formed its own world was the martial artist who controlled the Star Master Plate, Ling Dong. Moreover, this owner was different from ordinary owners. He was almost like the creator of the Myriad Stars House.
Just like other existences who could create their own space, they could dominate everything in that space.
My territory, I am the heavens!
However, Ling Dong was different from the other terrifying existences who could create their own worlds. For example, he could control space. A true creator only needed a thought to control everything in the world.
Ling Dong could do it as well, but he needed a large amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to maintain it. At this time, the four brothers of the Zhan Family were waiting in the large-scale Energy Gathering Array of the Myriad Stars House. They were sprinkling the massive amount of mid-grade Reiki that Ling Dong had given them into the center of the Energy Gathering Array.
Over a hundred pieces of mid-grade Reiki were thrown in, and as soon as the mist flashed inside, all the mid-grade Reiki turned into powder. From the moment Ling Dong began to control the power of the Myriad Stars House, nearly 10,000 mid-tier Reiki were consumed every second.
By now, over a million mid-tier Reiki had been turned into powder. Fortunately, Ling Dong had become quite rich recently. Otherwise, he would not have been able to afford it.
Of course, this was also related to the number of martial artists that Ling Dong could control at once. Ten half-step Zhou Tian Orthodox Gods! That was too much power to use. Ling Dong estimated that if he only controlled one or two half-step Zhou Tian Orthodox Gods, the consumption of mid-grade Reiki would not be so crazy.
"Four!"
"Three!"
"Young Master Ling, I'm willing. Please plant the Soul Slaying Nail!" As Ling Dong began the countdown, Elder Gan's face darkened. Immediately, Ling Dong completely released his Spirit Origin.
He felt the least pressure. His family was in danger, so he could only accept his fate. Moreover, deep in his heart, he felt that the price was worth it for the God Sealing Stone and the Secret Abode that had good comprehension effects.
He was just too embarrassed to say it in front of everyone.
"Okay!"
Ling Dong shouted, and a Soul Slaying Nail that he had already refined flew out of his hand and instantly disappeared into Elder Gan's forehead. Elder Gan's body suddenly shook, and he felt his body return to normal. He jumped and dodged to the side.
With a leader, Ling Dong did not need to continue counting. One after another, martial artists agreed to let Ling Dong plant the Soul Slaying Nail. This angered Elder Ding, but as more and more people submitted to Ling Dong, Elder Ding's expression became more and more dispirited until he finally stopped breathing.
Not long after, except for Elder Ding, the other nine half-step Zhou Tian Orthodox Gods all submitted to Ling Dong and were planted with Soul Slaying Nails by Ling Dong.
Looking at Elder Ding, Ling Dong was suddenly puzzled. Could it be that Elder Ding was another traitor?
Killing intent surged in his heart, and just as he was about to order Vermillion Bird Little Four to kill Elder Ding, Elder Ding let out a long sigh and suddenly said, "You win, plant it!"
Hearing this, Ling Dong was puzzled and even a little puzzled. It was reasonable to say that there should be a traitor among these ten people, and the traitor should resist to the death. He originally thought it was Elder Ding, but he did not expect these people to all agree. Was there a traitor among these people?
Ling Dong was a little confused.
Although he was confused, there was one thing that Ling Dong was very clear about. As long as a Soul Slaying Nail was planted, no traitor would be able to cause any trouble. Ling Dong was confident in this.
After a few breaths of time, Ling Dong also planted a Soul Slaying Nail in Elder Ding's head. Ling Dong also comforted everyone, saying that they had won his complete trust and that the God Sealing Stone would give them priority.
Give a carrot after a stick, this was a trick that everyone knew how to play, but not everyone understood that this trick was actually useful even to old foxes.
After telling the ten quasi Zhou Tian Righteous Gods, who had just been planted with a Soul Slaying Nail, to wait for orders, Ling Dong's Divine Sense entered the Energy Gathering Formation of the Myriad Stars House, and told the four criminal soldiers to immediately stop planting the medium-grade Reiki.
Even though Ling Dong solved this matter very quickly, it still took nearly two hundred breaths of time. In just two hundred breaths of time, the consumption of medium-grade Reiki reached 1.7 million.
This ability to dominate the Myriad Stars House was really burning the Reiki, which made Ling Dong's heart ache.
If any top existence in the Long 'an Realm knew that spending nearly two million medium-grade Reiki to obtain the loyalty of ten quasi Zhou Tian Righteous Gods, their eyes would definitely explode with jealousy.
If someone was still pained by the consumption of medium-grade Reiki after obtaining Ling Dong's Divine Sense, they would definitely vomit a lot of blood.
Two million medium-grade Reiki, let alone obtaining the loyalty of ten quasi Zhou Tian Righteous Gods, even obtaining the loyalty of one quasi Zhou Tian Righteous God would be a great thing. It was a profitable business with little capital.
Casually glancing at the situation in the Myriad Stars House, Ling Dong realized that the two teams, Jin Nu, Jin Chen, and Bu Ziwen, had not returned yet. It was time to completely eliminate the threats around him.
"Old geezer, what do you think of my concoction method?" He asked the dumbfounded Mountain God Yin Kang. "Even you have times when you're surprised?" Ling Dong's consciousness returned to his body.
"Old Mi, I have something to ask. Please tell me the truth." Since Ling Dong had already planted the Soulslaying Nail in Old Mi's soul origin, Ling Dong wasn't worried about dealing with Old Mi at all. Ling Dong wanted to know why Old Mi would betray him and become a traitor when he had already given him such great benefits.
He was even willing to pay the price with his life?
"Please ask away, young master Ling. If this old man knows anything, I will definitely tell you everything." Old Mi's face was still as calm as ever. His square and honest face was filled with sincerity. He didn't seem to realize that a great disaster was about to befall him.
"Old Mi, why did you become a traitor? Did you leak information to the Star Luo Palace and betray me? "Ling Dong asked expressionlessly.
"What?" Old Mi was shocked when he heard this. Even Elder Bi, who was steering the Cloudpiercing Ship, was shocked. Even the Cloudpiercing Ship trembled a few times.
"Old Mi, are you still going to pretend now? Why did you become a traitor? If you have any secrets, you can tell me. "Ling Dong's heart was filled with pain.
To be honest, Ling Dong valued Old Mi greatly. Old Mi was Ling Dong's most powerful formation master. Ling Dong even planned to pass the Miao Family Linked Formation to Old Mi.
The Miao Family Linked Formation couldn't be underestimated. Even though it was created by an insignificant existence on the Heavenly Dipper Continent, its value was immeasurable.
Even an insignificant person could create something so heaven-defying!
At the very least, Ling Dong hadn't found a single formation that could compare to the Miao Family Linked Formation in the Vermilion Bird Galaxy and the Long 'an Realm.
But now …
Old Mi's expression became even more shocked and confused. "Young master Ling, this old man doesn't understand. Traitor? How could this old man be a traitor? "
Ling Dong didn't immediately flare up when he saw Old Mi's shocked expression. Instead, he asked, "Then how can Old Mi explain how the fake Zhou Tian Shenjian of the Star Asura Divine Palace was able to track me down? Old Mi, don't tell me you don't know that the fake Zhou Tian Shenjian can track down cultivators through their blood essence and fresh hair? "
"Fake Zhou Tian Shenjian? Cultivator's blood essence? " Old Mi looked as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard this. His face instantly turned pale. Ling Dong understood even more when he saw this. He stared coldly at Old Mi.
Old Mi's expression was miserable. He stood up and bowed deeply to Ling Dong. "This is indeed this old man's fault. Young master Ling, please punish me. I only hope that you won't implicate my family!"
Ling Dong didn't let it go. "Is it only your fault?"
"This old man was negligent!" Old Mi sighed. "A hundred and eighty years ago, this old man's family was facing a great calamity. I had no choice but to seek help from the Star Asura Divine Palace. After paying a hefty price, they even asked for a drop of my blood essence …"
"Ah …" After getting this answer, Ling Dong suddenly revealed an astonished expression.
At the same time, Elder Bi smiled bitterly. "Young master Ling, I can testify for Old Mi! Back then, the Star Asura Divine Palace tried all sorts of methods to collect our blood essence. We only thought that it was reasonable, and most of us refused. At that time, Old Mi was also at his wit's end … "
Ling Dong was a little depressed. After all this fuss, this was the truth. Old Mi was innocent. However, this discovery made Ling Dong even happier.
However, what made Ling Dong even more confused and worried was … who was the traitor?
"I misunderstood Old Mi. Please don't take it to heart." Ling Dong comforted Old Mi amidst his confusion.
Old Mi's expression looked slightly better now. He smiled bitterly. "I can only say that the Star Asura Divine Palace is too cunning. They actually used their plan from two hundred years ago today. If Young Master Ling hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered this!"
"Yes …"
Ling Dong nodded in agreement. Suddenly, his expression changed. At that moment, a familiar aura appeared in Ling Dong's soul. Ling Dong's expression suddenly turned serious!
