Soul Control

After arriving in the Black-Corner Region, Lei Dong once again dumped Lei Ya there. After all, he still had an unfinished mission to complete.

Ever since Yun Yun had been taken away from the Yun Lan Sect, she had not said a single word. She had kept a cold expression throughout the journey, as if someone owed her millions.

Lei Dong simply ignored it. He planned to dump this little shrew at the Flower Sect. After all, that was where her opportunity lay. No matter how he thought about it, Lei Dong still felt that he could not have a vase by his side. What use was a woman who had no abilities?

"Hey, stupid woman, This Young Master saved you. What's with that expression?"

As the three of them traveled away from the Black-Corner Region, Lei Dong spoke with an unhappy look on his face.

Yun Yun paused when she heard him, then retorted, "Why did you save me? You know perfectly well why!"

Lei Dong did not deny it. After all, his original intention had never been to right a wrong he happened to encounter. The reason he had saved her was not her pitiful talent, but her beauty. Yun Yun's talent might be considered top-tier in the Gama Empire, but not only was she nothing special among the Ancient Races, she was not much in the Middle Continent either.

After all, in her twenties, she was still only a Dou Emperor. That talent was simply pathetically weak. If she had not gone to the Flower Sect and obtained the lifelong Dou Qi of its former sect leader, how could she have had any future to speak of?

Lei Dong thought for a moment before saying, "I can help you increase your strength and provide you with Resources so that you can take revenge. I can even tell you which faction attacked the Yun Lan Sect. But with your current strength, don't even think about revenge. Going to their door would only mean throwing your life away. The decision is in your hands now. Do as you see fit."

Yun Yun paused. The cultivation Resources she needed now were enormous. Without a major faction providing them, she truly had no way forward. Thus, after hearing what Lei Dong said, she was somewhat tempted. "You can really provide me with cultivation Resources and make me stronger?"

"Naturally." Lei Dong nodded, looking at the peerlessly beautiful woman before him as he answered seriously. He continued, "However... there are no free lunches in this world. I believe you understand that principle."

Lei Dong was no fool. If he could not bring her under his control, he would never go to such lengths to provide her with cultivation Resources.

Yun Yun naturally understood what Lei Dong meant. If she wanted his help, she had to give something in return. And aside from herself, she seemed to have nothing she could afford to offer.

Although she was extremely unwilling to make such a transaction, the scenes from the Yun Lan Sect continued to flash through her mind, along with Yun Shan's death. After a moment's hesitation, a clear tear slid down her cheek. She looked at Lei Dong and gave him a miserable smile. "Fine, I agree! As long as you can let me kill Xiao Yan."

The only enemy Yun Yun knew of was Xiao Yan. With her strength, killing Xiao Yan would naturally not be difficult. Unfortunately, there were several Strong Persons protecting him, leaving her with no opportunity to act. As for the sinister soul that had destroyed the Yun Lan Sect and the powerful enemy who had helped Xiao Yan, she did not want to learn about them for now. After all, she did not yet possess the strength to deal with them.

As for the request to kill Xiao Yan, Lei Dong did not even need to deceive her before agreeing. As long as she could kill him, Lei Dong did not mind letting her serve as a scapegoat. He immediately said, "I can."

Lei Dong then extended his hand, and Nine-Colored Lightning appeared in his palm. The moment it emerged, he said, "Don't choose to resist."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Nine-Colored Lightning in Lei Dong's hand poured into Yun Yun's body. When he had infused Medusa with Nine-Colored Lightning, she had been tricked into accepting it. As for Yun Yun, she had simply been forced into it by circumstances.

Lei Ya watched from the side without saying anything, but he felt somewhat uncomfortable inside. After all, aside from her beauty, Yun Yun, a Dou Emperor, had nothing that warranted the Lei Clan's attention. He did not feel that she was worth Lei Dong wasting so much time on.

However, Lei Ya had followed Lei Dong for many years and knew that his Young Clan Leader never liked his subordinates to meddle with unnecessary remarks.

After successfully controlling Yun Yun, Lei Dong said, "Very good. Once we reach the Middle Continent, I'll place you at the Flower Sect for the time being. That sect only recruits women. You can seek refuge with them first."

Yun Yun was stunned. Now that Lei Dong controlled her, why was he actually asking her to join another sect? Did that mean she had offered her soul for nothing? She immediately rebuked him, "What do you mean? Weren't you the one who said you would provide me with cultivation Resources? Why are you now asking me to join the Flower Sect?"

Lei Dong let out a cold laugh. "The path This Young Master has chosen for you naturally has my reasons. Just go there and cultivate in peace. Don't ask about things you shouldn't. As for the Resources I promised you, I'll have Lei Ya deliver them to you every year. But you must not reveal anything about our dealings at the Flower Sect. Otherwise, you'll learn what it means to wish you could live but be unable to, and wish you could die but be unable to."

A chill instantly spread through Yun Yun's heart. In her mind, since she had already agreed to Lei Dong's terms, he should have provided her with cultivation Resources. At the very least, he should have brought her to his territory to train her, right? Yet now Lei Dong wanted to dump her at another sect. How could Yun Yun not be furious?

But just as Lei Dong had said, her soul was already under his control. If she did not want to suffer, she could only do as he said. She had never imagined that she would one day end up like this.

She had gained nothing and had even been controlled by someone else. Now that she had boarded a pirate ship, she finally understood what it felt like to give without receiving anything in return.

Lei Dong sneered coldly inside. He had nothing to say about it. Bringing Yun Yun back to the Lei Clan for training could naturally help her rise rapidly. But even if she reached the Half Saint stage, it would probably consume countless Resources.

The Lei Clan had many members of the younger generation who needed to be nurtured. Leaving aside whether Lei Dong himself agreed, his Father and several elders would never approve of it. After all, Yun Yun was unlike Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and Medusa. Those three either possessed the Ancient Bloodline or had special eyes.

Most importantly, at the Flower Sect, she could obtain the lifelong Dou Qi of a Half Saint powerhouse, which would be enough to raise her cultivation to the Nine Revolutions realm. By then, helping her break through to Sainthood would be a piece of cake. Moreover, once he controlled the Flower Sect through Yun Yun, Lei Dong could accomplish many things!

After giving someone a slap, Lei Dong naturally had to offer them a date as well. That was how things had been done since ancient times. He continued, "Don't worry. Since I've promised to make you a Strong Person, I absolutely won't deceive you. Within a year at most, you'll understand. Besides, do you think someone with my strength needs to deceive you?"

After hearing Lei Dong say this, Yun Yun suddenly felt that she had indeed been overthinking things... Although she did not know Lei Dong's exact strength, the fact that the people around him could tear through space and travel through it proved that Lei Dong was definitely a Dou Venerable-level Strong Person. If even his subordinates were Dou Venerables, how could their master be weak? As for the power behind Lei Dong, she could not guess its scale, but she could be certain that it was a major faction.

After thinking it through, Yun Yun was no longer as angry. She then asked with some confusion, "What should I do after I go to the Flower Sect?"

Lei Dong said indifferently, "Until I send someone to find you, just let everything take its natural course."

PS: I've had some personal matters these past few days, so I've only been posting stored chapters. I'm going home tomorrow, so I'm releasing them all today.

I currently owe everyone four more chapters. On top of that, the book is about to go on sale, so I'll work hard tomorrow... I'll strive to release a burst of chapters when it goes on sale.

Thanks for your understanding...
