Chapter 1507 - 1440: A Wise Bird Chooses Its Tree

"What are you looking at us for?"

The three burly men glanced at each other, unable to keep from feeling tense.

Qin Feiyang scrutinized the three for a moment, then asked with a smile, "You guys must be under the control of Blood Soul Art too, right?"

The three instinctively nodded.

Qin Feiyang asked, "So is it Zhuge Mingyang who controls you, or the State Preceptor?"

"Of course, it's the State Preceptor, sir."

The three replied.

"That's easier then."

Qin Feiyang muttered, laughing, "Now answer me, do you want to live?"

"Yes."

The three nodded without hesitation.

Wait.

But immediately after.

A hint of suspicion arose in their eyes. What was this person planning?

"You follow the State Preceptor for power and cultivation resources, which is what I can give you, even more than the State Preceptor does."

Qin Feiyang said with a smile.

The three looked at each other—is this a bribe?

"Yes."

"I am indeed bribing you."

"You must have some understanding of my character, Qin Feiyang."

"Towards enemies, I will use any means necessary."

"But for those around me, I'm better than I am to myself."

Qin Feiyang said.

The three fell silent.

This point is undeniable.

As it is well-known that Qin Feiyang treats those around him well.

Now look at Zhuge Mingyang!

He looked at the three burly men, utterly uneasy inside.

If this were the Great Qin Empire, even if the three betrayed, he wouldn't care.

Because he could turn to the State Preceptor for help at any time.

But now, they were in the Divine Sign.

He was on the first level.

The State Preceptor was on the second level.

The two levels, unable to communicate.

In retreat.

Even if the State Preceptor had Heaven and Earth abilities, knowing his current situation, he couldn't rush to save him.

Hence.

Now, the three men were crucial to him.

If the three truly betrayed and followed Qin Feiyang, it would be a catastrophe for him.

Qin Feiyang glanced at Zhuge Mingyang, then looked at the three burly men and said, "Honestly, you really have nothing to hesitate over because there are too many people in this world who want to follow me. If it weren't for being in Divine Sign, you would be far down the list."

The three still hesitated.

"Of course."

"I'm not the kind of person who likes to force others."

"If you really don't want to, feel free to say it without difficulty."

"But think clearly."

"Is it to continue being cannon fodder at the State Preceptor's side? Or to follow me, Qin Feiyang, and reach the pinnacle of the world together?"

Qin Feiyang added with a smile.

Hearing this, the three shuddered, saying, "We don't want to be cannon fodder!"

"You bastards!"

"Over the years, Ancestor Yun spent countless energy and resources to cultivate you, and now with just a few words from Qin Feiyang, you betray."

"Do you have any conscience?"

"You're really a bunch of ungrateful white-eyed wolves!"

Zhuge Mingyang roared angrily at once.

"Hmph!"

"We've long seen through the character of the State Preceptor."

"Although he has been cultivating us, isn't it all for his personal gain?"

"What's most excessive is that we're super strong at Nine-Star War Emperor peak, yet before leaving, he ordered us to protect you to the death?"

"Ultimately, no matter how strong we are, how capable we are, how loyal we are, we are never as important as you direct descendants of the Zhuge family."

The three burly men replied angrily.

Years of accumulated grievances finally got to be vented.

Zhuge Mingyang clenched his hands tightly, extremely furious!

"Before, we didn't dare resist because of the coercion of Blood Soul Art."

"But now, Your Highness can break Blood Soul Art; of course we won't continue to aid the wicked."

"Your Highness, we're willing to abandon the darkness for the light. Please help us."

The three knelt on one knee in front of Qin Feiyang, imploring.

"Quite the abandon the darkness for the light."

"I have to say, you have enlightenment, and I admire you."

Qin Feiyang laughed heartily.

Zhuge Mingyang's face was full of resentment, unwillingly saying, "Even if you follow him, he will continue using the Enslavement Mark to control you. You're still slaves, still cannon fodder!"

"Good birds choose trees to perch."

One of the burly men sneered.

"I see it's more like being bewitched."

Zhuge Mingyang sneered, looking at Qin Feiyang, saying, "Do you think they're truly following you? They're simply doing it for the Potential Elixir."

Upon hearing this, a hint of panic appeared in the eyes of the three.

Indeed!

Their biggest motive for choosing to follow Qin Feiyang was to open the Door of Potential.

Yet unexpectedly, Zhuge Mingyang exposed them.

They looked apprehensively at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang looked down silently, but suddenly smiled, looking at Zhuge Mingyang, and said, "Who in this world wouldn't hope to open the Door of Potential? They have this desire, which is natural."

After speaking.

Qin Feiyang added, "Besides, as long as they sincerely serve me, what harm is there in helping them open the Door of Potential?"

The three couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Qin Feiyang looked at the three and said, "Quickly abolish your cultivation; I'll immediately help you break the Blood Soul Art."

Although these three, on the surface, truly seemed to follow, after all, they were people close to the State Preceptor, so he still couldn't fully trust them.

If, while breaking the Blood Soul Art and controlling the three of them, they suddenly resisted, wouldn't he suffer backlash?

Thus.

Abolishing their cultivation is the safest method.

"Alright."

The three nodded.

Without hesitation, they raised their arms, each striking their abdomen with a palm.

Poof!

Alongside a mouthful of blood spewing out, the three's Qi Sea instantly shattered.

Just at that moment.

Zhuge Mingyang's eyes flashed sharply, and he swiftly charged at the three men.

The three people immediately changed color.

Now that their cultivation was abolished, Zhuge Mingyang could kill them with ease.

"You better behave yourself!"

But at the same time.

The young lady from the Dragon Phoenix Building stepped forward, instantly appearing in front of Zhuge Mingyang, her jade hand fiercely striking out, landing a palm on Zhuge Mingyang's chest.

His chest caved in instantly, blood and flesh a blur.

"Ah..."

With a scream, Zhuge Mingyang flew out horizontally, crashing to the ground like a meteor, spitting blood.

His heart, shattered into pieces!

Qin Feiyang glanced at him, ignoring him.

His hands quickly formed seals.

Buzz!

Three Enslavement Marks rapidly condensed, transforming into streaks of light, entering the tops of the heads of the three people.

...

Simultaneously.

The second layer.

In a certain mountain range, the State Preceptor was speeding alone.

To be precise.

He was fleeing for his life!

Disheveled, his body in rags and tatters.

"Roar!"

Behind him, a terrifying beast roared at the sky.

Its body was thousands of feet long, like a towering giant mountain, with each step causing the ground to shake and crumble.

The terrifying aura swept in all directions!

It was this beast chasing the State Preceptor!

Even the State Preceptor, an Ultimate existence at the peak Pseudo God level, had no choice but to flee, which showed how terrifying this second layer was.

But suddenly.

The fleeing State Preceptor's body stiffened, stopping in his tracks, and he spat a mouthful of blood.

"What's going on?"

"Someone's Blood Soul Art, forcibly cracked?"

"Could it be Qin Feiyang causing trouble again?"

His old face was full of doubt and suspicion.

Roar!!!

The beast roared like thunder, its divine might shaking the heavens, instantly waking the State Preceptor.

No time to think deeply, he started fleeing again.

...

The first layer.

The Blood Soul Art was cracked.

The Enslavement Marks were also completed.

Qin Feiyang took out three Spiritual Sea Pills and threw them to the three people.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The three people hurriedly expressed their thanks.

"Your Highness..."

Qin Feiyang couldn't help but feel a bit dazed, as he hadn't heard this title for a long time, and sighed, "You might as well call me Young Master like everyone else."

"Greetings, Young Master."

The three exchanged glances, bowed, and said.

"Mm."

Qin Feiyang nodded and asked, "What are your names?"

"Wang Dacheng."

"Li Jian."

"Zhou Zheng."

The three said in succession.

Qin Feiyang silently committed their names to memory and waved his hand, "Go aside and repair your Qi Seas first."

"Yes."

The three grabbed the Spiritual Sea Pills and retreated to the side.

Qin Feiyang's lips curled up as he looked at Zhuge Mingyang with a playful expression and said, "Not long ago, you asked me, how do I want to die? Now I ask you, how do you want to die? And as long as I can satisfy it, I will fulfill your wish."

"I want you to die first!"

Zhuge Mingyang said word by word.

Qin Feiyang said, "I can't satisfy you on that. Since you can't think of anything, let me think of a way for you to die."

"Haha..."

Zhuge Mingyang suddenly burst into laughter.

"You can still laugh now?"

Qin Feiyang was puzzled, could this person still be hiding some tricks?

"You won't kill me."

Zhuge Mingyang shook his head and said.

"Uh!"

Qin Feiyang was stunned.

"Because I know everything you don't know."

"For example, why did the Emperor want to abolish your cultivation back then?"

"Why is Emperor Hong treating you this way now?"

"Also, why hasn't the Luk Family dared to interfere in the affairs of the Imperial Capital all these years?"

Zhuge Mingyang's face was full of mischief.

Qin Feiyang clenched his hands, stepped forward, grabbed Zhuge Mingyang's clothes, and shouted, "Tell me everything you know!"

"Beg me."

Zhuge Mingyang grinned.

Qin Feiyang's eyes flashed with ferocity as he swung his fist, punching Zhuge Mingyang hard in the stomach, causing Zhuge Mingyang to howl in pain, his Qi Sea shattering on the spot.

"Speak or not?"

Qin Feiyang demanded.

"No."

"If you have the guts, kill me."

"But you'd better think it over. If you kill me, the truth about all this will forever elude you."

Zhuge Mingyang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, tauntingly looking at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang's face was as calm as water.

The young lady from the Dragon Phoenix Building saw the situation was not good, hurried forward, and whispered, "Feiyang, calm down, don't be swayed by him."

Qin Feiyang looked at the young lady from the Dragon Phoenix Building, took a deep breath, and finally calmed his anxious heart.

He looked at Zhuge Mingyang again and said, "Even if you really know, even if I really don't kill you, you won't tell me, right?"

Zhuge Mingyang did not deny it.

"Using my weaknesses and vulnerabilities to stall me, waiting for the State Preceptor's other confidants to rescue you, I must admit, you really did play your cards well."

"I almost fell for your trap."

"But fortunately, someone reminded me in time."

Qin Feiyang said.

Zhuge Mingyang immediately looked venomously at the young lady from the Dragon Phoenix Building, a damned woman.

The young lady from the Dragon Phoenix Building was indifferent, her cold and proud demeanor like facing a clown.
