"The Qintian Token can control the Thirteen Qintian Riders. Clearly, you don't know this!"
Ye Kunlun looked at Gu Changsheng's displeased face and sneered, "The cultivation techniques of the Thirteen Qintian Riders are suppressed by the Qintian Token. Do you know why?"
"It's precisely to deal with people like you in the Qintian Tower who don't recognize the Qintian Token!"
Ye Kunlun's smile vanished as he inputted a second hand seal into the Qintian Token.
Instantly, the power within the Thirteen Qintian Riders seemed to boil like water, their faces contorting in pain.
"You all dare not kneel before the Qintian Token?"
The Thirteen Qintian Riders dared not defy. They all knelt towards Ye Kunlun in unison, "The Thirteen Qintian Riders pay respects to the楼主!"
Seeing this, a flicker of complexity crossed Gu Changsheng's eyes before he also knelt, "Gu Changsheng pays respects to the Token Master!"
Ye Kunlun narrowed his eyes as he looked at the kneeling Gu Changsheng.
Gu Changsheng, as the楼主 of the Qintian Tower, was truly capable of bending and straightening.
"Gu Changsheng, you truly know how to advance and retreat," Ye Kunlun taunted.
Gu Changsheng quickly explained with a smile, "A misunderstanding. I thought the Qintian Token in your hand was stolen, so I tested it with the Thirteen Qintian Riders."
"Since you know how to use the Qintian Token, it naturally wasn't stolen."
As he spoke, Gu Changsheng's expression turned excited, "Ye Kunlun, was the Qintian Token passed down to you by the previous楼主?"
"Or did you steal or snatch it?"
Gu Changsheng then asked, "Is the old楼主 doing well?"
"That old fellow is naturally doing very well!"
Recalling his Seventh Master in Kunlun Void, who spent his days drinking and eating roast chicken, Ye Kunlun thought no one could live a more comfortable life.
Gu Changsheng lowered his head slightly, a hint of complexity in his eyes.
The Qintian Tower had stood in the capital for a century.
Ye Kunlun claiming the old楼主 was doing well made Gu Changsheng skeptical. No one could live to be two hundred years old.
Not even those in the Kai Ling realm could.
Ye Kunlun put away the Qintian Token and walked towards Gu Changsheng.
Just as Gu Changsheng was about to rise, he heard Ye Kunlun say, "Did I tell you to get up?"
Gu Changsheng frowned slightly, "Ye Kunlun, what do you want? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you hold the Qintian Token."
"If I truly do whatever I want, what can you do to me?"
Ye Kunlun lowered his head slightly, looking at the kneeling Gu Changsheng, "In my eyes, you are not even an ant."
"What do you want?"
Gu Changsheng suppressed the killing intent in his heart.
"I know you want to obtain the other secret within the Qintian Token," Ye Kunlun's eyes narrowed. "I can give you the secret within."
Gu Changsheng's gaze shifted, "Would you be so kind?"
"Of course not," Ye Kunlun's lips curved into a sneer. "Aren't you going to make a deal with me? Then I'll make a deal with you!"
"What deal?"
Gu Changsheng frowned at Ye Kunlun, his expression wary.
He didn't believe Ye Kunlun would offer him any good deal.
"It's very simple!"
Ye Kunlun's sneer faded as he smiled, "Within one year, the Qintian Tower will obey my command. After one year, I will give you the Qintian Token. How about that?"
Gu Changsheng pondered for a moment and replied, "Fine! But you have to save Yunshao."
"If she wants to live, let the Nangong family beg me!" Ye Kunlun sneered. "Even if the engagement is to be broken, it is I, Ye Kunlun, who will divorce her, Nangong Yunshao."
Gu Changsheng mused, "I will relay this to the Nangong family."
"Get out!" Ye Kunlun gestured towards the exit of the Wujian Prison. "Oh, right, Wujian Prison is short-handed. The Thirteen Qintian Riders will stay here to guard the house."
Gu Changsheng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Thirteen Qintian Riders were an invincible force in the capital. Ye Kunlun was actually making them act as doormen in this rundown place, Wujian Prison?
In the future, how would the capital, the martial arts world, and the cultivation world view his Qintian Tower?
"Fine!"
Gu Changsheng flicked his large sleeves and left alone.
A glint of killing intent flashed in Ye Kunlun's eyes as he surveyed the Thirteen Qintian Riders.
His sharp gaze made all thirteen of them avoid his stare.
"The Thirteen Qintian Riders are usually under the command of the楼主. Once the Qintian Token appears, they are to obey the Token Master's command. Did you not know this?"
"Token Master, forgive our transgression."
The leader stepped forward, "We have not seen the Qintian Token for many years, which is why we made such a grave mistake. We beg the Token Master to punish us!"
"What is your name?" Ye Kunlun asked.
"Bai Yi!"
Ye Kunlun said, "Since you know you have sinned, then go do something for me to atone for your mistakes."
"Whatever the Token Master commands," Bai Yi replied.
"Within seven days, I want you to find the people of the Wu clan hidden in the capital!"
Ye Kunlun took out the Qintian Token again, sending a stream of green light into it.
The Qintian Token shone brightly, emitting thirteen beams of white light that entered the bodies of the thirteen men.
"You cultivate the Daoxin Jue, but it is not the complete Daoxin Jue."
"I have just infused the power of the Qintian Token into your bodies, which can complete your Daoxin Jue."
Before Ye Kunlun had to say anything, the thirteen men already felt the changes in their bodies.
The circulation speed of the Daoxin Jue had more than doubled, and its usage was smoother. Their strength had also increased several times over.
"Many thanks, Token Master!"
The thirteen men, led by Bai Yi, thanked Ye Kunlun.
"No need. The Thirteen Qintian Riders with the complete Daoxin Jue are the true Qintian Riders!" Ye Kunlun put away the Qintian Token and looked at the thirteen men before him.
Wujian Prison was too short-handed. Wudao and Feng Tutu still had to handle matters within Wujian Prison, leaving them with little time to deal with other affairs.
Now, with the Thirteen Qintian Riders, they could help him with many things.
Ye Kunlun continued to instruct the thirteen men, "The Daoxin Jue is special and is sensitive to the aura of the Wu clan. It is most suitable for finding them. I am only giving you seven days."
Ye Kunlun paused, his expression turning colder. "If you fail to find the Wu clan within seven days, you will not be worthy of this Daoxin Jue, and I will personally cripple you!"
A terrifying pressure instantly descended upon the thirteen men.
"We will not fail the Token Master's trust!"
Bai Yi stepped forward, making a military pledge, "If we cannot complete the mission by then, the Token Master may cripple us!"
"Good, go!"
——
"This is great. Our Wujian Prison suddenly has thirteen helpers. Wudao and I can be more relaxed now," Feng Tutu said with a smile.
"Young Master, can these thirteen people be trusted?"
Wudao was somewhat worried. Ever since Xu Zhenzi appeared at the Zhou family in Jicheng, he had a bad impression of the Qintian Tower.
"Once they are in my grasp, even the Tathagata cannot escape," Ye Kunlun said with a faint smile. If he couldn't even handle the Qintian Tower, how could he live up to his one hundred and eight masters in Kunlun Void.
"Young Master, the Huang family is plotting something. It's likely Huang Huahu is secretly preparing for revenge."
Wudao reported the intelligence from the spy to Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun's expression was calm as he replied, "We still need to investigate whether the Huang family has any connection to the Three Divine Societies. The more actions they take, the more they will expose themselves."
"Also, what is the movement of the War Department? Zhou Lie is dead, are his subordinates still holding back?"
