Chapter 1094: Chapter 1080: The Unexpected Mole
“A big secret, a secret that concerns my life and death?” Ye Zhen scrutinized Leng Kang.
Leng Kang nodded like a chick pecking at rice, afraid that Ye Zhen would get upset and soul-search him to death. “Really, I really know!”
“Let me guess!”
Ye Zhen retracted his soul-searching hand, crossed his arms, and sneered coldly.
“The big secret that concerns my life and death you mentioned, is it related to Kui Otu on the third floor of Stars Tower?
Do you have a secret agreement with him?
To cooperate and eliminate me together?
And in the end, divide up my belongings, maybe even get rewarded?” Ye Zhen asked.
Upon hearing this, Leng Kang nodded vigorously, “That’s right, it’s indeed like that, but you’ve only guessed a small part!”
“A small part?” Ye Zhen’s expression shifted again.
“Otu, known as Fox Star, definitely won’t just team up with you to deal with me. Anyone who has issues with me will likely be contacted! Of course, they must also be strong enough to catch his eye.”
“For example, Yang Ben?
Or maybe Jie Tianhe?
The Green Robe Dragon King Yuh Changkong?
These people must be? Maybe even the Island Lord of Black Fiend Island, Hei Tian. Am I right?” Ye Zhen asked.
Leng Kang nodded heavily again, “Your speculation should be entirely correct. I figure the people you mentioned have very likely also received invitations to join.”
However, there’s a critical point where your guess is wrong!”
“A critical point?” Ye Zhen lowered his head in thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, “Which point?”
Evidently, this time Leng Kang had become wiser and more cautious, not rushing to answer Ye Zhen’s question.
“Great Saint of Sea Suppression, if you swear a divine soul oath to let me live, I’ll tell you this critical point!” Leng Kang offered.
“No way!”
Ye Zhen’s face sank, his palm once again covering the back of Leng Kang’s head, divine soul power in his palm started to flow, ready to soul-search again.
Even though Leng Kang understood that Ye Zhen might be trying to intimidate him, he didn’t dare treat it as mere intimidation. One mistake and he’d lose his life, while Ye Zhen would only suffer a minor slip-up.
He couldn’t afford it.
At this moment, Leng Kang shrieked again, “Great Saint, calm down, Great Saint, calm down!”
“Great Saint, I only ask for a chance to live. You set a condition, how can I secure a path to survival? As long as you promise me a way out, I’ll agree to any condition!” Leng Kang pleaded loudly.
“Hmm?”
“Any condition? Really?”
Initially determined to soul-search Leng Kang to eliminate future troubles, Ye Zhen was unexpectedly moved by Leng Kang’s words.
“Really, as long as the Great Saint can give me a way to live, not waste my cultivation, I’ll agree to any condition. Even if it means betraying Xuanshui Palace, it’s okay. I can make a divine soul oath!” Leng Kang said.
Ye Zhen was speechless; Leng Kang would do anything to stay alive.
However, Ye Zhen quite liked this.
Because otherwise, where would he find a Ninth Stage Establishment King as a martial slave?
“Martial slave, release your divine soul, let me use the exclusive Soul-locking Puppet Technique to control your innate divine soul, and be my martial slave. Then I can give you a path to survival!” Ye Zhen said.
A couple of seconds passed in a daze, then Leng Kang suddenly exclaimed, “Martial slave? This… this is impossible. With my status, how could I be a martial slave? How could I serve others?”
To Ye Zhen, who had already subdued several martial slaves, responding to such reactions from Leng Kang was commonplace.
This is also the most fundamental reason many martial artists choose death over becoming a martial slave.
As Kings in the Establishment Realm, their dignity would never allow them to lower themselves, serving others as mere house slaves.
The disparity in status was too great.
This situation was something Ye Zhen had experienced when he subdued Illusion Formation King Chen Chi and Ice Fiend King Luo Zhu.
It was simple; he brought up the same reasoning from back then.
“Really?” Like Illusion Formation King and the others, Leng Kang remained somewhat dubious.
“Of course!”
“Do you think I’d feel any different if I had you serving me tea and water? There are plenty of beautiful maids for that. Especially now, you are very useful to me.
For a long time, I will absolutely not let you expose the relationship between us, you want to, but I won’t let you!”
“I believe you’re not a fool, think carefully, and you’ll understand my intent of making you an absolutely controlled martial slave.” Ye Zhen said.
As Ye Zhen said, Leng Kang is really not a fool, only pondering for a few breaths, then raising his head.
“Great Saint, you mean to let me mingle with the group that is dealing with you, and then secretly relay them messages to pit them together with you, right?” Leng Kang asked.
“Smart!”
Ye Zhen gave Leng Kang a thumbs up.
This is the true reason why Ye Zhen spared Leng Kang’s life at this moment because if Leng Kang is made a martial slave, the usefulness is unimaginable, simply the most natural and unsuspected traitor.
Not to mention all kinds of previous conflicts between Ye Zhen and Leng Kang, when slaying the Catfish Flood Dragon, Leng Kang further proved with his actions which camp he belonged to.
But no one could have thought, just in less than an hour upon entering this Huichun Blessed Land, Leng Kang’s identity would undergo a drastic change.
If in the future, Ou Tu and others discover there was a leak among them, they would never suspect Leng Kang.
Thinking about this possibility, Ye Zhen felt an urge to laugh.
If in the future Ou Tu and others knew Leng Kang was the traitor among them, what expression would they have?
“Well, become a martial slave or die, make your own choice!” Ye Zhen shouted.
At this time, Leng Kang became extremely cautious, “Great Saint, can you first swear a divine soul oath, that after I become your martial slave, you won’t deprive me of my sta….”
“Do you feel you still have the qualifications to negotiate? Do you think, for me, is a house slave nearby useful or a Young Palace Master?”
“In the future, if you perform well, it’s even possible for me to assist you in becoming the true Palace Master of Xuanshui Palace!” Ye Zhen said.
Leng Kang’s eyes began to flicker, after a while, suddenly he made a resolute decision, “Better to live shamelessly than die gloriously, a Young Palace Master is definitely more useful than a mere house slave, just for these words, I will become this martial slave!”
“Good, release your divine soul, follow my instructions, remember, do not have the slightest unwillingness, otherwise, not only will the Soul-locking Puppet Technique fail, but your divine soul will also dissipate!” Ye Zhen said.
Leng Kang nodded fiercely again.
Ye Zhen is already well-practiced with the Soul-locking Puppet Technique, and as Ye Zhen’s divine soul cultivation becomes stronger, the Soul-locking Puppet Technique becomes easier, as long as the other party cooperates, there’s nearly no chance of failure.
The only consideration is the threat from outside.
As divine sense spread like ripples, a strand of Ye Zhen’s divine soul power penetrated into Leng Kang’s innate divine soul.
15 minutes later, as Leng Kang’s screams like a bull gradually subsided, it also indicated Ye Zhen’s Soul-locking Puppet Technique succeeded again, it also marked that Ye Zhen acquired a martial slave with powerful combat power and a high status.
Fortunately, within this 15 minutes, no one came to disturb, presumably due to the vastness of Huichun Blessed Land, and the few people who entered.
With the Soul-locking Puppet Technique successful, Ye Zhen simply extracted dozens of demon spirit phantoms from the Demon Soul Hall hanging from his neck to refine with the Mirage Dragon Pearl, not only healing Leng Kang’s divine soul injuries but also restoring Leng Kang’s divine soul power considerably.
This god-like method made Leng Kang exclaim in wonder, thrilled.
However, in the next instant, Leng Kang cried out miserably.
That was Ye Zhen directly activating the forbidden technique within the Soul-locking Puppet Technique, giving Leng Kang a taste of the pain.
“Remember, if in the future, you dare to discount my orders even slightly, I can make you wish you were dead! But, as long as you listen and do your job well, you’ll certainly reap benefits!” Ye Zhen shouted at Leng Kang, drenched in sweat and pale-faced.
“Ye… I certainly will follow… master’s orders!” Leng Kang gasped, with a face full of pain.
“Alright, get up, that term ‘master’, omit in front of people in the future! In public, act as you should, you are still the Young Palace Master of Xuanshui Palace, Leng Kang,
while I, am your arch-enemy, Ye Zhen, act against me as you should, curse me as you should, you should understand, right?” Ye Zhen said.
“Rest assured, master, I understand! I know what to do!” Hearing these words, Leng Kang finally sighed in relief, as long as things are really like this, there’s still hope for a future, making the previous sacrifices worth it in Leng Kang’s view.
“Good, now, can you reveal the key point from earlier?” Ye Zhen asked.
“Master, actually you were correct about most things, just wrong on one point, the contact person you identified was wrong, the one contacting us to jointly deal with you is the Leader of the Dragon Alliance, Jie Tianhe, not Stars Tower third Tower Chief Ou Tu!” Leng Kang said.
“Jie Tianhe?” Ye Zhen frowned.
“That’s right, but the attitudes of Jie Tianhe and Ou Tu towards you are conflicting!” Leng Kang said.
“What kind of conflict?”
“Ou Tu’s attitude is simple, as long as he kills the master, all problems are solved, but Jie Tianhe seems adamant about capturing the master alive! So the two are not very cooperative.” Leng Kang said.
Ye Zhen nodded, this is considered useful information, if there’s an opportunity, maybe it can be leveraged.
Saying that, Ye Zhen shifted his gaze to the wooden tablet at the center of Spirit Communication Hall, “By the way, regarding this wooden tablet, are you hiding anything else?”
“No!”
“Absolutely not! I honestly did not deceive master!” Leng Kang shook his head vigorously.
“Good, guard the entrance, protect me! I want to see what this device’s mystery is?”
As Ye Zhen’s words landed, Leng Kang, whose injuries were largely healed, dashed to the entrance of Spirit Communication Hall, while Ye Zhen, palm releasing four-colored innate soul light, slowly covered the wooden tablet in the center!
