"Yes, yes, yes." Manager Liu nodded. "How could I not have thought of that? I'll arrange it right away." After saying that, Manager Liu hurriedly ran off to find his subordinates and told them to prepare the Soul-Seizing Technique immediately.
The Soul-Capturing Technique is a secret art that can control the mind of others. Using this technique can control a person's thoughts, but the price to pay is extremely high. After using this technique, the person will completely lose their mind and become a puppet, unable to resist the person who cast the technique.
"Manager Liu, I've made the arrangements," reported his subordinate.
"Alright, now I want you to bring this kid surnamed Lin here immediately. I want him to experience the power of the Soul-Seizing Technique." Manager Liu ordered. This Soul-Seizing Technique is the most treasured technique of their Beiming Sect. He didn't intend to spread this secret art; he just wanted to teach Lin Yu a lesson.
Yes.
Inside a secluded cave, Lin Yu sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. He was circulating his internal energy, but in a way completely different from Steward Liu's.
Manager Liu's Soul-Seizing Technique was completely useless against Lin Yu. His internal energy could directly neutralize the Soul-Seizing Technique. Moreover, Lin Yu had a special technique to counter the Soul-Seizing Technique, the Nine Yin Manual. It was this technique that made Lin Yu's mental strength exceptionally strong, enabling him to resist the attack of this technique.
Just then, Lin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, glanced outside, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips, and then walked out of the cave. His destination was the courtyard where Steward Liu lived.
"Manager Liu, I'd like to have a chat with you. Do you have time?" Lin Yu called out as he arrived outside Manager Liu's courtyard.
"Who are you?" Manager Liu's voice rang out. He didn't recognize Lin Yu, but he knew that Lin Yu was definitely coming for him.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Manager Liu, I am Lin Yu. You should have heard of me, right? I'm here tonight to try and finalize a deal with your Beiming Sect."
Steward Liu said, "So it's Young Master Lin. What brings you here?"
Lin Yu said, "I heard that Manager Liu hasn't been in a good mood these past few days. What could be the reason? I think you must be having some troubles. I think we can have a good talk."
Steward Liu said, "Young Master Lin, you don't need to worry about this matter. I'll handle it myself. But you, you said you had something to discuss with me. What is it that you want to talk to me about?"
Lin Yu said, "Manager Liu, the main reason I came to see you is to seek cooperation with your Beiming Sect. A powerful enemy has appeared by my side, and I hope to join forces with the Beiming Sect to eliminate that person. Therefore, I want to act together with your Beiming Sect."
Manager Liu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Young Master Lin, who is this formidable enemy you wish to eliminate? Who exactly is he?"
Lin Yu said, "I can't tell you. I hope your Beiming Sect can help me. If we join forces, there's an 80% chance we can kill that person."
Manager Liu said, "Young Master Lin, you're really putting our Beiming Sect in a difficult position. You must know that you've offended the Third Prince in the West District. If he finds out you're cooperating with our Beiming Sect, he definitely won't let us off the hook. In that case, it's probably impossible for our Beiming Sect to cooperate with you. So I think it's best if our two sides don't cooperate. Don't you think so?"
Lin Yu smiled faintly, "Steward Liu, I know your Beiming Sect is very powerful, and we wouldn't dare to deal with you directly. But we're not afraid. If we wipe out your Beiming Sect, I'm sure the Third Prince won't let us off the hook, don't you think?"
Steward Liu said, "Young Master Lin, I don't think there's any need for this between us. You've destroyed our Beiming Sect, and the Third Prince certainly won't let it go easily. Aren't you afraid of the Third Prince's wrath?"
Lin Yu burst into laughter. "Steward Liu, it seems you're not so stupid after all. I've made myself perfectly clear, don't you understand what I mean? What I mean is, not only are we not afraid of the Third Prince's wrath, but we will also provoke him into venting his anger."
"Provoke the Third Prince's anger?" Steward Liu was stunned for a moment, then realized that Lin Yu meant for him to pin the blame on the Third Prince, so that the Third Prince could use him as a tool to kill someone.
"Manager Liu, now that I've made myself clear, what reason do you have to refuse?" Lin Yu smiled. His words showed that he was on Manager Liu's side, and he had achieved his goal. Now it was Manager Liu's turn to consider whether to cooperate with him.
Manager Liu's mind raced. He wanted to relay Lin Yu's words to his boss so that the boss could make the decision.
"Manager Liu, what are you thinking? Do you still want to bargain with me? I'm warning you, if you don't agree to cooperate with me, I will wipe out the entire Beiming Sect." Lin Yu's face immediately darkened.
"Young Master Lin, your threats have no effect on me whatsoever," Steward Liu said slowly. He was a very cautious person and would not be easily intimidated. Even if Lin Yu used the armed guard as leverage, he would maintain a firm stance.
"Oh? So you're unwilling to cooperate with me?" Lin Yu looked coldly at Steward Liu, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. "Steward Liu, I can tell you're a very intelligent person. You should understand that cooperating with me is definitely more promising than cooperating with that Third Prince, because if the two of us join forces, we will inevitably become the second largest force in the martial arts world."
Steward Liu shook his head and said, "Young Master Lin, although your words have convinced me, I still will not cooperate with you. I am unwilling to take risks; what I want is to protect my wealth. I don't want my property to suffer undeserved damage, and I believe this is also what the Third Prince desires."
"Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to fight each other. I hope you can shoulder this responsibility." Lin Yu's tone was icy. What he hated most was others targeting his Lineage and relatives. This was no longer a simple attack, but an attempt to take the lives of the entire Lin Group and the Lin family.
Steward Liu said, "Young Master Lin, what you need to do is deal with that Divine Archer Strategist, while we need to deal with someone else. We absolutely cannot confuse these two tasks, because we have no chance of success."
