Chapter 484 Forces backing Zhan Chen
"What a weakling! You dare have malicious thoughts towards me with such a weak will", Zhan Chen coldly stared towards Wu Yong. He couldn't believe that a peak heavenly tribulation realm expert had such a weak mental fortitude.
"Please spare me. It is only because my Wu clan has enmity with your Zhan clan", Wu Yong stuttered. His body was trembling with fright as he looked towards Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen was not aware that his aura was completely scary at this moment. His soul supression towards other creatures had already exceeded the limit of a peak sage realm expert.
There was something frightening about his soul supression. It was like he was a ruler, infront of him no other creature could raise their heads. The change was subtle. So, Zhan Chen was not aware about it. He only thought that Wu Yong was a complete weakling despite being a peak Heavenly tribulation realm expert.
Wu Yong felt like his mind would collapse at any moment. His mind was so clouded with fear that he was shuddering. Never in his worst dream, he had imagined that Zhan Chen would be such a frightening person. Now his only wish was to came out of this ordeal alive.
"Master, where are you? Experts from various factions are waiting for you", Zhan Chen received a soul communication from Hu Yali when he was about to torment Wu Yong few more times. He was yet to be satisfied even after putting Wu Yong in so much pain. His hate towards Wu Yong was proportional to the malice Wu Yong had held towards his Zhan clan. Due to his Heart seeking technique, he could see through how malicious the thoughts of Wu Yong was.
"Fine", Zhan Chen took a deep breath to calm down himself. He had more important thing to do now other than tormenting Wu Yong.
"I know, you have a restriction in your soul to protect your secrets. But such restrictions are child play to me. Obediently become my slave now. I will deal with you later", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn't wait for Wu Yong 's response. He directly sent a strand of soul into Wu Yong's body.
Wu Yong couldn't do a single thing to resist as Zhan Chen's soul strand invaded his soul. His eyes got clouded as Zhan Chen's soul strand formed a complex seal inside his soul.
He regained his sanity after few moments. He was about to kneel when Zhan Chen waved his hand. "No need. I don't want to accept respect from someone like you. Just obediently co-operate when I check your memories later", Zhan Chen spoke.
"There is another thing. Don't let others doubt you. You should behave like what you should have done before becoming my slave", Zhan Chen spoke.
"This slave obeys your command. Forgive me for my earlier impudence", Wu Yong bowed towards Zhan Chen. His eyes only had reverence towards Zhan Chen now who became his master.
Zhan Chen didn't give a reply to Wu Yong. He used Ethereal cloud steps and dashed towards the Grey ash city.
Lu clan's camp was located near the Xuantian sect's base. It was a large complex alloted to them by the Xuantian sect. At this moment, there was a large crowd gathered infront of the Lu clan's base.
Among the crowd, a certain group was particularly eye-catching because the group was made up of only women. There were girls and women of differing ages but two things were similar about them. They were wearing the same kind of robes and all of them were unbelievably enchanting. Such a group would attract attention no matter where they went and Lu clan's base was no exception. Many male cultivators were looking at them with infatuated expression on their faces.
"Teacher, are we really going to join Zhan Chen's side? From what I have heard, he is only eighteen years old", a slender beauty asked a middle aged woman standing next to her.
She stayed silent for few minutes but couldn't held back her curiousity after waiting for a while. She couldn't understand why her sect would join a youngster's side when there were three other good options.
"Ling'er, you can't be impolite to Zhan Chen when we meet him. Initially, I am also very confused when sister Yali came to visit us but now I am assured about my decision", the middle aged woman spoke.
"Teacher, are you referring to elder Yali from the Fragrant Lily sect?", the slender beauty inquired.
"Yes, I am talking about her. It is unbelievable but she has already become an emperor", the middle aged woman spoke. She was still in disbelief after finding out Hu Yali's current realm.
"What! How is this possible?", the slender beauty exclaimed. She was as shocked as her master because it had been only few months since they had last seen Hu Yali. The Fragrant Lily sect and their Jade orchid pavilion had a good relationship with eachother. So, they often visit eachother's sects for exchanging pointers.
Hu Yali's Fragrant Lily sect might have a bad reputation in the Central land but it didn't meant that they didn't have any relationship with other powers. Contrary to people' beleif, the Fragrant Lily sect had maintained cordial relationship with many powers of the Central land.
To be specific, they had good relationship with women only powers. They bewitch men to increase their cultivation. So, they had no enmity with a power who had only females as cultivators. This logic was true for women only powers. They understood that Fragrant Lily sect targeted only males. So, they were not in guard infront of the Fragrant Lily sect's cultivators.
"You know, junior sister Yali and I have long relationship. She tells me that the best commander to join is Zhan Chen. Initially, I have not believed her but I still came to take a look. After observing for a while, I think joining Zhan Chen is not a bad idea", the middle aged woman spoke.
"Teacher, how can you be assured? Is not Zhan Chen side lacking far too much compared to other commanders?", the slender beauty asked. She couldn't comprehend what got into her master's mind after visiting the Lu clan's base.
It was clear to see that Zhan Chen's side had too less cultivators compared to other commanders. Among the Xuantian sect's allies, except for their Jade orchid pavilion, no other powers had come to join Zhan Chen. It was clear that powers like the Golden serpent sect, the Silver Star pavilion, the Violet moon sect and the Wu clan had no planning in joining Zhan Chen's side. So, the slender beauty felt it would be extremely disadvantageous and foolish if their Jade orchid pavilion decided to join Zhan Chen's side.
"Ling'er, you are always hasty. How many times have I told you to observer first before coming to a conclusion?", the middle aged beauty spoke.
"Number of cultivators can't determine everything. You have to see how many experts have come to join Zhan Chen's side", the middle aged beauty further added.
"Look at that direction. He is elder He Yu from the Sword peak. He always stays in seclusion. So, many are not aware about him. But, you can't underestimate his prowess. It is rumored that except for the peak master and peak guarding elders, none can challenge him in the entire Sword peak of the Xuantian sect", the middle aged woman spoke. There was a look of respect in her eyes as he looked at a lean and tall elder.
"What is such a person doing here? He can easily become a commander!", the slender beauty exclaimed.
"He is not the only expert here. Look at that old senior who is standing alone. He is concealing his cultivation base but I am sure that he is a peak tribulation realm expert. Even, I am not sure whether I can face him in a battle", the middle aged woman spoke as she shifted her gaze towards another direction.
"Look towards our left. You can see one of the most beautiful woman of our Earth province. Her name is Qian Shanni. She is the current sect master of the Lotus moon sect", the middle aged woman pointed towards a beauty standing in a secluded corner.
"She is so beautiful! I have heard about her but what is she doing here?", the slender beauty replied with a confused expression on her face.
"Everyone present here has only one purpose. That is to join Zhan Chen's side. I am sure that she is also considering to join Zhan Chen's army", the middle aged woman spoke.
"Now, do you understand why I want our Jade orchid pavilion to join Zhan Chen's side?", she looked towards her disciple.
