Chapter 140: Control
In the Yang family mansion.
In the main hall, a middle-aged cultivator with a green robe, high cheekbones, thin lips, and a malicious expression on his face had been waiting for a while. His gaze was unfriendly, causing the several maids and servants around him to be on edge and not daring to breathe.
When Qin Muling entered under the escort of the crowd, he only looked at him curiously, without stepping forward to pay respects or greet him. This guy's expression immediately became even worse.
In the past, as long as he was within the influence of the Soul Executing Valley, no matter where he went, he would be treated like a living ancestor by the people of those subordinate forces. When has he ever been treated like this?
Beside him, Yang Song quickly informed Qin Muling of this person's background through divine sense. This guy called himself the Ashen Blood Perfected Being. His master was the deputy valley master of the Soul Executing Valley, so he could be considered a prominent figure in the Soul Executing Valley. He was usually greedy and malicious, accustomed to bullying and domineering. Few people dared to provoke him casually.
"Are you the current head of the Yang family?"
Beside him, a black-faced strong man who looked like a follower asked sternly, "You dare not bow and pay respects to the esteemed envoy? Are you planning to rebel?"
"Heh..."
Qin Muling glanced at him. This Ashen Blood Perfected Being from the Soul Executing Valley was only at the peak of the Perfected Being Realm in terms of cultivation. He brought more than thirty followers with him, ranging from the Profound Comprehension Realm to the Divine Spirit Realm.
Such strength did not seem to have an advantage over the five small forces like the Yang family. It was just that they cultivated higher-grade techniques and had stronger combat power. Therefore, when the heads of these small forces saw them in the past, they would be respectful and even have to smile while being extorted.
Moreover, even if they were killed, so what? Once they provoked the full force of the Soul Executing Valley, these five small forces could not possibly resist. Therefore, they could only choose to swallow their pride.
Qin Muling's tone was indifferent, "So it's the Ashen Blood Perfected Being envoy from the Soul Executing Valley. I am honored. Just say what you have to say."
"You..."
The Ashen Blood Perfected Being's face turned red and he was about to explode, but then he held back and sneered, "You ignorant brat, you just took over as the head, right? It's understandable that you don't know the rules."
When he saw that Qin Muling was also at the Perfected Being Realm and not very young, this guy inexplicably felt a hint of jealousy.
With his limited talent, he had been cultivating diligently for nearly two thousand years before reaching the Perfected Being Realm. Why did this ignorant youngster dare to sit on an equal footing with him? If a few more years passed, wouldn't he be able to break through to the True Self Realm threshold?
A vicious and resentful thought uncontrollably emerged. Since the sect was about to go to war on a large scale this time and it was a time to use people, why not call this kid to the battlefield as well and let him die there without ever coming back?
How could Qin Muling not see the deep malice hidden within him? But he didn't expose it and spoke calmly, "I did indeed recently take over as the head. What brings the envoy here? If I remember correctly, it's not yet time for the annual tribute, right?"
The Ashen Blood Perfected Being smiled coldly, "You don't understand. The Soul Executing Valley is about to go to war with the neighboring Blood Cloud Pavilion. The valley master specially ordered us to come and requisition resources. The Yang family is large and prosperous, so you will have to contribute more this time. The sect will not forget your contributions."
Qin Muling suppressed his anger and asked expressionlessly, "How much do you want?"
"30,000 stones of Red Jade Pearl Spirit Rice, 9,000 catties of Mingsha Red Copper, 500 Spirit Medicine plants, 350,000 High Grade Spirit Stones..."
This guy didn't hold back and listed a long list of requested resources, which basically amounted to half a year's worth of the Yang family's income. In addition, they had to send 3,000 low-level cultivator slaves, 1,000 beautiful young girls, and 100 young Yang family members to participate in the war.
Of course, this was the portion to be handed over to the Soul Executing Valley. As the envoy, this guy also requested an additional portion for himself, stating that it was the rule.
Dare you not give it? Just wait to be put in a difficult position!
"Also... I see that the new head of the family has a good cultivation level. Being able to possess the strength of the Perfected Being Realm at such a young age, why not come back with me and join the battle together! As long as you achieve meritorious deeds, the Valley Lord will definitely not hesitate to reward you!" Ashen Blood Perfected Being said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
Qin Muling sighed, "I was still hesitating whether to casually throw a few pieces of meat bones and send you evil dogs away as soon as possible. Since you are so ignorant of what's good for you, forget it! Let's just kill you quickly!"
After speaking, the surrounding space froze. Before Ashen Blood Perfected Being could react, a terrifying pressure, heavier than mountains, descended upon him, forcing him to bend down. The group of lackeys around him had already prostrated on the ground, unable to move.
"Damn it!"
Ashen Blood Perfected Being's face turned as red as a pig's liver. He desperately tried to activate the Law Weapon within his body to counterattack. However, with his entire body's mana tightly sealed, he couldn't even achieve self-destruction.
In the end, he could only be gradually forced to kneel down until he was completely prostrated on the ground.
Qin Muling gently raised his hand, and a blood-colored flame emerged from his fingertips, turning into dozens of blood rays that flew into the foreheads of these people, deeply penetrating them.
A look of intense fear appeared in Ashen Blood Perfected Being's eyes. He could feel that the blood rays irresistibly merged completely with his soul, forming three unbreakable restraints that tightly imprisoned him.
As long as he dared to have the slightest dissatisfaction or rebellious thoughts, these restraints would completely erupt, burning him inside and out, leaving nothing behind.
"It's over, it's all over..."
Ashen Blood Perfected Being sighed in his heart, realizing that he had no way out. From now on, he would become the slave of this beautiful young man in front of him, unable to escape for the rest of his life.
"Alright, from now on, I am your only master."
Qin Muling snapped his fingers, and the pressure on Ashen Blood Perfected Being suddenly disappeared. However, at this moment, he no longer had the courage to resist.
"Yes, mas...ter."
Ashen Blood Perfected Being forced out a smile uglier than crying, reluctantly got up and bowed. His lackeys were equally lifeless, trembling as they kowtowed.
Qin Muling, on the other hand, felt no guilt at all. These evildoers deserved to die, and it was too easy for them to just die. They should spend their whole lives as cattle and horses, repaying the numerous sins they had committed in the past.
"Tell me everything you know about Soul Executing Valley!"
Qin Muling's voice was cold. "My patience is limited, and I hate being deceived. So before you speak, think carefully in your mind! Otherwise, I don't mind killing you directly and finding another target to control!"
Ashen Blood Perfected Being didn't dare to delay and proceeded to reveal all the secrets he knew. He himself could be considered a high-ranking member of Soul Executing Valley, and with the relationship with his master, he basically understood the situation within this power.
And what Qin Muling cared most about was the number of strong individuals in Soul Executing Valley. Since even the most powerful individuals only had the cultivation level of the True Self Realm and couldn't pose a threat to him, what else was there to be concerned about?
