Prosperity Tree

"You want me to tell you how to refine the Big Dipper Star Mansion? Dream on! You might as well kill me! If I die, it means I died loyal to Lord Phoenix King—even in death, there is glory!"

Ming Hong's Soul Body in Nie Yun's palm twitched, roaring without cease.

Having reached three thousand gradients, a soul could survive completely apart from the flesh. Although Blazing Fire had burned him for quite some time, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were still abundant, and he had not dissipated outright.

"Die loyal to Lord Phoenix King? You really dare to say that. Lord Phoenix King sent you here to refine the Big Dipper Star Mansion, yet you ended up like this, and you call that loyalty? If she finds out you botched things so thoroughly, she'll probably slaughter your entire family!"

Before Nie Yun could speak, the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor at the side sneered.

"You..." Ming Hong trembled all over.

Phoenix King had always been ruthless and merciless. Her punishments for subordinates who failed their missions were exceedingly cruel. If she learned that he had handled matters this badly, she would certainly exterminate his entire clan.

"Submit to me. I may not be able to save your family, but at least I can keep you alive. Perhaps you may rise again someday. But if you truly die, then you'll have nothing!"

Nie Yun snorted, his voice carrying the intent of Immortal Sound and Bewitchment.

"I..." Ming Hong's face twisted, flushing red, then turning white.

"I'll give you ten breaths to consider. Otherwise, with the Seven Swords and my current strength, refining the Big Dipper Star Mansion is only a matter of time. Whether I need you or not makes no difference!"

Seeing his resolve waver, Nie Yun bewitched him again.
