Mythical Card Creator: Myriad Ghosts Night Parade at the Start - Section 678

By the laws of my Hall of the Judge, that still counts as a serious crime. It cannot be treated lightly."

The Mirage Dragon had indeed sensed a trace of Judgment Authority still clinging to Lin Chen. He probably had not been bluffing.

"Immortal Master, spare me! I'm willing to mend my ways and start anew!"

"Seeing as you're a rare dragon talent, and cultivation hasn't been easy for you, it would be a shame to destroy you."

You can keep operating this 'Mirage City' whenever you wish. I won't tear down the place you depend on for your livelihood.

I can even hang a plaque identifying you as the Hall of the Judge's 'specially appointed psychological consultant,' allowing you to operate legally."

Lin Chen revealed the dagger hidden beneath his cloak, his tone turning stern:

"From now on, whenever I summon you, no matter what you're doing, you must come at once and serve me.
