In Ye Yun’s view, the main culprits behind the ‘tyranny’ of the Five Great Sects over the common folk were these artifact spirits.
These artifact spirits controlled the life and death of all sect disciples through cultivation techniques and vital essence. Without the existence of these artifact spirits, it would be equivalent to severing the greed of these sects and also breaking their shackles.
“Kid, what are you doing? Hurry up and let us go, or the disciples of our Ghost King Sect will surely flatten your national server!” Not only the Immortal King, the Pavilion Master of the Immortal King Hall, but even the artifact spirits within the Ghost King Banner couldn’t help but reveal themselves, glaring at Ye Yun and roaring.
“It seems I have been dormant for too long, and everyone has forgotten my existence as Zhu Xian, have they?” The artifact spirit of the Zhu Xian Sword appeared like an old man of the human race. At this moment, it also stared at Ye Yun, seemingly unwilling to be suppressed by him.
…
Besides the Immortal King, the artifact spirits of all five spiritual artifacts had revealed themselves, either cursing or threatening Ye Yun. Unfortunately, Ye Yun’s strength had increased by nearly three times since he annihilated the Kunlun Mirror. These artifact spirits were no longer in his eyes.
“Do you know how Kunlun was annihilated by Us? It was because they talked too much.”
…
Huh?!
The words of the five artifact spirits abruptly stopped. They looked at Ye Yun with a trace of terror. It was only then that they realized that the Kunlun Mirror, which was floating beside them, no longer held any trace of Kunlun’s aura.
Kunlun, the artifact spirit of the Kunlun Mirror, was the earliest to awaken among the six of them, and also the most powerful. And now?
“Demon Butterfly, since you have decided to give up the Emperor’s Road, I will say no more. I have already presented you with the conditions. If you agree, release your spiritual consciousness. If you do not agree, I can let you leave this time, but next time we meet, it will not be a simple conquest of the Emperor’s Road, but a war of extermination.” Ye Yun ignored the sect members and turned to stare at Demon Butterfly.
Release your sea of consciousness and leave behind Ye Yun’s divine sense imprint!
Demon Butterfly’s expression was equally grim. She had thought that if she gave up the Emperor’s Road, Ye Yun would welcome her with open arms. She had even planned to raise her conditions further, but she didn’t expect that from the very beginning, the initiative had never been in her hands.
Meanwhile, Mu Tian’s expression was also grim.
He had also been one of the travelers on the Emperor’s Road last time. However, he had encountered Jiu You and was directly defeated by Jiu You, becoming Jiu You’s foremost general.
And now? How similar was this scene to his past. Except this time, it was his proud daughter.
“I accept!” Although Demon Butterfly’s expression was grim, she released her sea of consciousness without much thought.
Even the six great spiritual artifacts of the Hidden Sects were firmly controlled by Ye Yun. How could her fallen Wood Race contend with him?
“As expected of the strongest prodigy of the Wood Race, you know when to take and when to let go.” Ye Yun laughed heartily, and his divine sense instantly left its imprint in the sea of consciousness of Demon Butterfly and Mu Tian.
“Your divine sense…”
The imprint was left, but Demon Butterfly and Mu Tian looked at Ye Yun with faces full of shock, as if they had seen some great terror.
They were terrified by Ye Yun’s formidable divine sense. Although the intensity of that divine sense was only fleeting, they still captured it. That divine sense was at least tens of thousands of times stronger than theirs!
One must know that their divine sense had reached the ultimate third realm in this world of Ten Directions. What realm was Ye Yun’s divine sense in?
And according to the rules, they had to be ten times stronger than Ye Yun’s divine sense to break this imprint. This meant that with their divine sense talent, they would live under Ye Yun’s shadow until their deaths.
“Heh heh, alright, now we are considered our own people. Since we are our own people, I will not treat you unfairly. These two things are for you, consider them gifts.”
Ye Yun did not expect his journey on the Emperor’s Road to be so simple, nor did he expect the formidable Demon Butterfly to hand over her empire so readily. Of course, Ye Yun was well aware of the principle of carrot and stick, so he threw out the things he deemed profitable.
This is…
The eight people stared at the items in Ye Yun’s hand, their eyes widening.
Laws! These two items were actually filled with the aura of laws.
“These are Law Fragments! Consider them rewards for your two being sensible!” Ye Yun saw their reactions and felt pleased.
Law Fragments were in Ye Yun’s game inventory in the tens of millions. Even if he gave a thousand pieces to his subordinates every day, Ye Yun still had more each day.
Demon Butterfly and Mu Tian’s hands trembled as they received the Law Fragments. Everyone present was a quasi-emperor, and they could immediately tell that the Law Fragments were extraordinary. After Ye Yun’s explanation, their eyes lit up.
“Your Majesty, if we are willing to submit, Your Majesty can…” The Immortal King’s face no longer held any arrogance.
These lofty individuals were, in the end, driven by profit and the desire to survive.
“Of course, but it will be in exchange for something. Five Solid Manifestation Cards plus one hundred spirit stones can be used to purchase a Law Fragment from Me.” Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Ye Yun immediately showed a satisfied smile.
For Ye Yun, the most troublesome thing about wanting these items was not having enough Solid Manifestation Cards. As long as he had enough Solid Manifestation Cards, he could mass-produce soldiers at the Extreme level.
Currently, the thousand Law Fragments that Ye Yun distributed daily were limited to the upper echelons and could not be widely dispersed. This was also why Ye Yun had instructed Yun Tian City and other group armies to acquire large quantities of Solid Manifestation Cards in their respective star domains.
Unfortunately, Ye Yun was not very satisfied with the progress of this acquisition. As of now, the Solid Manifestation Cards handed over to Wang Chen by various parts of the empire were only a little over 1.2 million, less than one-tenth of Ye Yun’s desired amount.
Therefore, when Demon Butterfly expressed her withdrawal, he had set his sights on Demon Butterfly’s ‘treasury.’ Although he could forcefully seize it, it was very easy to achieve the opposite result. After much thought, this was the only method that could make this woman obediently hand over those items.
