Lin Xuan found it rather interesting. "According to what you said, you can draw upon the power of Living Soul Spirit Bodies to strengthen yourself, but in the end, you are still bound by the Soul Concealing Canopy."
Zhao Yan immediately nodded. "Yes, my lord."
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. "In other words, you are not irreplaceable. I could even strip away your consciousness at any time and have another spirit body take your place."
Zhao Yan immediately revealed a smile uglier than crying. "Spare me, my lord! I will definitely fulfill my duties wholeheartedly and harbor absolutely no disloyal thoughts. Please do not strip away my consciousness."
"Tsk..."
"Then that depends on your performance."
Lin Xuan smacked his lips. He had not expected the Soul Concealing Canopy to bring such a surprise. It truly caught him off guard.
"Yes, my lord. I will perform well." Zhao Yan heaved a huge sigh of relief inwardly.
Then his expression turned solemn, and he took the initiative to say, "My lord, the Soul Concealing Canopy does not have to contain only one spirit body. It can be used for large-scale harvesting, cultivating spirit bodies like me."
Lin Xuan nodded lightly. He already knew that, though it somehow felt a little evil—rather like the legendary Human Emperor Banner.
Of course, Lin Xuan did not care about that. He had no shortage of enemies. Still, he would need to test whether the Soul Suppressing Pagoda could no longer obtain cultivation time after spirit bodies were taken into the Soul Concealing Canopy. That would be more loss than gain.
"Also, after becoming a part of the Soul Concealing Canopy, I gained a unique ability." Zhao Yan's voice continued.
"Oh? Is that why you said those two harbor killing intent?" Lin Xuan asked with a frown.
