Yingbo Kong cried out and surrendered, and only then did Long Chen stop. Yingbo Kong was beaten badly, with countless bones broken throughout his body, his body already deformed.
However, Long Chen did not kill him. Instead, he condensed a soul seal and placed it on his head. Yingbokong's massive body trembled, and the soul rune was imprinted onto his soul.
"Buzz!"
Yingbo transformed into human form. At this moment, his face was bruised and swollen, covered in blood, his breath chaotic. Long Chen nearly crippled him.
"The soul mark I left on you is not a slave mark. It will disappear in ten days. Within ten days, you must obey me, and after ten days, you can get lost." Long Chen said coldly.
By now, Yingbo Kong had long lost his previous arrogance and domineering behavior. After being beaten up by Long Chen, all his arrogance was completely extinguished.
At first, he was dejected, thinking he had become a slave, but Long Chen's words stirred him deeply.
"This... Is this true? "Eagle Strike Kong was both surprised and delighted.
"Of course it's true. Do you really think that with your talent and combat power, you're qualified to follow me, Long Sanye?" Long Chen snorted coldly:
"If you weren't of any use to me, I would've slapped you to death long ago."
Ying Bokong had been extremely disappointed just moments ago, but now he was extremely excited. He had just fallen into hell and been pulled back again, only to serve Long Chen for ten days. For him, this was already a tremendous happiness.
"Thank you, Master."
Yingbo Kong's transformation was quite quick, directly addressing Long Chen as Master. Compared to humans, the beast clan had simpler thinking.
"Let me ask you, why have you come to Gulan Domain here? Ruixia Prefecture?" Long Chen asked.
Previously, Long Chen had soul searches, but since it wasn't violent soul searching, he could only find some scattered pieces of information, which were not comprehensive.
"Reporting to the master, we ... Pfft... Eagle Bokong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole aura growing weak.
It turned out that in his excitement, he had forgotten to suppress his injuries, and Long Chen had struck hard before, and now the injury had flared up, making it impossible to hold on.
Long Chen took out a pill and fed it to Yingbokong. As the medicinal power dispersed, Yingbokong quickly became vibrant, and his internal injuries had mostly healed. He was both surprised and delighted, and thanked Long Chen:
"Thank you, Master. This pill is amazing. It feels just as good as the pills in the Sacred Pill Hall, maybe even better."
"Sacred Pill Hall?" Are you talking about the Sacred Pill Hall, one of the four great halls under Great Brahma? Long Chen was startled.
The Great Brahma Heaven commands four major halls: the Nine Nether Hall, Blood Slaughter Hall, Sacred Pill Hall, and Martial God Hall.
Long Chen had encountered both the Nine Nether Hall and the Blood Killing Hall, but he had never encountered the Saint Pill Hall or the Martial God Hall, because the Tianyan Star Domain did not have either hall. He hadn't expected to encounter them here.
"Yes, the Sacred Pill Hall is the largest force in the Tiandu Star Domain and the absolute authority here.
Here, cultivators are basically divided into four ranks, with the lowest being ... Among humans, the middle ranks are half-beast and half-demon races, the superior are beast beast clans, and above the demon beasts are the alchemists of the Sacred Pill Hall.
They hold noble status; even our demon beast clan must bow and greet the pill cultivators of the Sacred Pill Hall when encountering them.
I was once seriously injured and spent a fortune buying a healing pill from the Sacred Pill Hall. It really had remarkable effects, rivaling the master's divine pill. "Eagle Fighter Kong explained.
It should be known that the pills in the Sacred Pill Hall are extremely precious, especially for their demon beasts. Ordinary pills have limited medicinal power and their healing effects are mediocre, so they usually take care of their own injuries and don't use pills.
But Yingbo Kong didn't expect Long Chen to casually give him a pill, which instantly recovered most of his health. Shocked, he began to doubt Long Chen's identity, vaguely feeling that he might have encountered a super terrifying figure.
In the distance, the disciples of Falling Star Sect looked at Long Chen and Yingbokong, momentarily at a loss for what to do. Yingbokong, ranked ninth on the Falling Star Sect's prodigy list, had actually become someone else's battle pet. If word got out, how would the disciples of Falling Star Sect survive?
But Eagle Warrior Kong had already been subdued, and none of them even had the courage to fight. They secretly sent a message to Eagle Warrior.
Eagle Bokong pretended not to hear, but Long Chen had branded him with a soul imprint. Sending a voice transmission now was no different from harming him.
"Let's go."
Long Chen didn't want to be watched by this group, so he left with Eagle Bokong. To please Long Chen, Eagle Warrior revealed his true form, intending to fly away with him.
But after revealing his true form, he found it completely hairless, extremely unsightly. He hurriedly and awkwardly withdrew his body and silently followed behind Long Chen.
After finding a relatively remote place, Long Chen asked about the situation in the Tiandu Star Domain. Yingbo Kong clearly knew more about it.
According to Yingbokong, the Gulan Domain is the most prosperous region within the Tiandu Star Domain, and Ruixia Prefecture is the very core of the entire Tiandu Star Domain.
Several Realm King experts are stationed here, and the sect master of Falling Star Sect is also a half-step Realm King—a terrifying great demon.
Almost all the forces in the Tiandu Star Domain were founded by demon beasts, and the human race was almost always their vassals.
The Sacred Pill Hall is the highest ruler here. Most of the pills they refine are aimed at demon beasts, so this is the heavenly realm of the beast world.
However, the Saint Pill Hall also takes great care of the human race, not allowing the beast clan to oppress them. Here, beasts and humans coexist peacefully.
Therefore, there are especially many hybrid descendants of humans and demon beasts here. Humans are accustomed to relying on powerful beasts, because their bloodlines can be directly passed on to the next generation. At least their physical bodies are dozens of times stronger than those of pure humans, and their starting point is higher than ordinary humans.
"Can the Sacred Pill Hall do good deeds?"
Long Chen was stunned for a moment, but then shook his head. The Great Brahma Heaven's subordinates definitely wouldn't produce anything good; there must be some conspiracy behind them.
The Tiandu Star Domain was extremely prosperous, maintaining relative peace for countless years without major wars.
Therefore, countless strong beings from the star domains, whether beasts or humans, regard this place as a paradise of dreams. Even though humans have low status, countless powerful beings still cross the domain to come.
What surprised Long Chen most was that the Tiandu Star Domain didn't have Huayun Trading Company. Such a large and bustling place, yet Huayun Trading Company hadn't set foot there. This indicated a serious problem. Could it be that the Saint Pill Hall didn't allow it?
Long Chen remembered again. It seemed that all the domains he had visited had Huayun Trading Company, but none of the Saint Pill Hall. Could there be some conflict between the two?
"By the way, why are you all at the peak of the Four Extremes Realm? What's going on?" Long Chen suddenly asked, discovering that the experts from Falling Star Sect were all at the same realm, which was very strange.
"We're here to attend the once-in-a-decade Divine Lord Ceremony. The Divine Lord Immortal Realm is about to begin, and we're going to challenge the Divine Lord Realm inside. Isn't that what you came for?" Yingbo Kong looked at Long Chen in surprise.
"Divine Lord Immortal Realm?" Charge at the Divine Lord? "
Long Chen's heart skipped a beat—wasn't this exactly what he wanted? Could it be that luck has turned around, or is Wu Tian deliberately arranging it for him? Now things got interesting.
