Are You Ready?

After Xiao Anhe told Supreme Elder Li about Yi Xuan's situation, Supreme Elder Li readily took out the Soul Control Technique he had mastered and Yi Xuan.

Seeing Supreme Elder Li's serious expression, Yi Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Supreme Elder Li, didn't we righteous cultivators despise such secret techniques as Soul Control? Then why...?"

Supreme Elder Li didn't speak, but instead, Xiao Anhe, who was standing behind Yi Xuan, flicked Yi Xuan's forehead with a flick.

Yi Xuan covered his head and looked pitifully at his master, but Xiao Anhe ignored him and just glanced at Yi Xuan sideways.

Meanwhile, Li Taishang, who was explaining the Supreme Elder Li of Soul Control Secret Technique to Yi Xuan, smiled and said, "I thought you were a smart person after what happened with the Gazing Immortal Sect, but it turns out you're just superficially clever. You don't even see things as clearly as your master!"

Yi Xuan didn't quite understand what Supreme Elder Li meant, so he looked at him with curiosity.

"I ask you, what is righteousness? What is evil?" Supreme Elder Li asked with a smile in his eyes.

However, since Supreme Elder Li usually had a serious expression, his smile at this moment made Yi Xuan feel a little creeped out.

But Yi Xuan had to answer the Supreme Lord's question, so he said with a shifty look in his eyes, "Of course, those who cultivate righteous Cultivation Method like our Azure Cloud Sect are on the righteous path, while those who cultivate Evil Dao Cultivation Method are on the Evil Dao, aren't they?"

"Ahem!" Before Supreme Elder Li could speak, Xiao Anhe coughed twice and said, "According to you, Supreme Elder Li also cultivated the Soul Control Secret Technique. Does that mean Supreme Elder Li is also Evil Dao?"

After listening to his master's words, Yi Xuan looked at the smile on Supreme Elder Li's face and found it increasingly wicked. He even felt that perhaps what his master said was true, that Supreme Elder Li himself was a member of the Evil Dao.

Just as Yi Xuan was imagining things in his mind, Xiao Anhe behind him saw what his disciple was thinking from the smile on his face, and gave him another flick on the forehead.

Still a little dazed from the blow, Yi Xuan realized his thoughts had been somewhat absurd, so he rubbed his head sheepishly and said to Supreme Elder Li, "Supreme Elder Li, this disciple didn't consider you an Evil Cultivator, hehe."

Supreme Elder Li didn't argue with Yi Xuan, but waved his hand and said, "Indeed, there is a distinction between good and evil in the Cultivation Realm, and many sects claim to be either righteous or Evil Dao!"

Xiao Anhe nodded in agreement, saying, "Senior brother is right, but so what? Haven't we, as fellow disciples, seen enough people and things over the years?"

Elder Li nodded and looked at Yi Xuan, saying, "That's right. Your master and I have seen those disciples from so-called righteous sects commit evil deeds that even Evil Dao cultivators wouldn't dare to do. We've also seen those members of the demonic sects rescue people and be treated like living Buddhas!"

After listening to Supreme Elder Li's words, Yi Xuan understood what he wanted to tell him. The so-called good and evil are just labels, just like the so-called Evil Dao and secret arts. They are just labels; if used for good, they are good, and if used for evil, they are evil.

This reminded Yi Xuan of his past life, where some people held high positions but did nothing, while others, though of humble origins, never forgot their duty to the country.

Supreme Elder Li's Soul Control Technique is not complicated, and it does not require a certain level of cultivation, only a certain level of Divine Sense strength, which is just right for Yi Xuan.

Yi Xuan mastered it completely in less than an hour. After bidding farewell to the two elders, Yi Xuan returned to Liang Shi's courtyard in a flash.

At this moment, Liang Shi was in the courtyard, looking helplessly at Zhuo Ning sitting opposite him.

Just then, Liang Shi saw Yi Xuan return and ran to Yi Xuan as if he had found a savior.

"Master, where did you find this person? He's completely unresponsive. I've been talking to him for ages, and he hasn't reacted at all. If it weren't for his eyes still moving, I would have thought he was already dead!"

"Uh!" After hearing his apprentice's description, Yi Xuan looked at Zhuo Ning with some confusion and asked, "What's going on?"

Sitting there with an innocent look on her face, Zhuo Ning shook her head. "You left me here without saying anything and just left. I'm new here and don't want to cause trouble!"

Before Yi Xuan reply, Liang Shi looked at Zhuo Ning in disbelief. "You can talk? Then why haven't you said a single word to me all this time?"

Zhuo Ning shrugged helplessly at Liang Shi, then looked at Yi Xuan, as if to say, "Don't blame me for anything, it's all your master's fault!"

"Alright!" Yi Xuan patted Liang Shi on the shoulder and said to Zhuo Ning, "I have mastered the Soul Control Technique. I'll ask you one more time, have you thought this through? You must know that once my Soul Control, you will be subject to me for the rest of your life!"

Zhuo Ning nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Liang Shi, standing to the side, looked at Zhuo Ning with curiosity, somewhat puzzled as to why this taciturn man would allow his master to Soul Control.

Although Liang Shi spent most of his time studying science and technology, he did not neglect his cultivation. He had some understanding of Soul Control and knew that Soul Control Technique were Evil Dao methods.

However, out of absolute loyalty to his master, Liang Shi did not ask any questions, and stood there as if he had not heard Yi Xuan and Zhuo Ning's conversation.

Yi Xuan, of course, also saw Liang Shi's reaction. He didn't show any outward expression, but he secretly nodded inwardly.

Since Zhuo Ning did not hesitate, Yi Xuan could not say anything more. He decided to use the Soul Control Technique on Zhuo Ning in Liang Shi's courtyard, and instructed Liang Shi to guard the surroundings.

Zhuo Ning sat cross-legged, and Yi Xuan placed his palm on Zhuo Ning's forehead, saying, "Don't resist! I'm asking you one last time, have you thought it through? The first time will hurt a lot!"

Yi Xuan was unaware of his grammatical error. Liang Shi, who was standing guard nearby, looked at the two people in the middle of the courtyard with a strange expression, thinking to himself, "Could Master have found me a mistress?"

Yi Xuan had no idea what his disciple was imagining. Seeing Zhuo Ning nod again, he immediately activated the Soul Control Technique.

With his forehead pressed down, Zhuo Ning felt as if a large iron needle had pierced his head, and he screamed before fainting.

Yi Xuan kept his eyes closed. At this moment, Yi Xuan's Divine Sense had entered Zhuo Ning's brain and he had seen Zhuo Ning's soul.

Yi Xuan transformed his Divine Sense into a short knife, then spoke to the floating soul of Zhuo Ning, "Just bear with it, it will pass."

After saying that, Yi Xuan's Divine Sense dagger plunged into Zhuo Ning's soul, and then withdrew it at an extremely fast speed, taking out a small piece of Zhuo Ning's soul with it.

In Yi Xuan's eyes, Zhuo Ning's soul instantly became listless. Yi Xuan knew that this was a normal reaction, so he no longer hesitated and used his Divine Sense to wrap a small piece of Zhuo Ning's soul and return it to his own Sea of Consciousness.

Afterwards, Yi Xuan used his Divine Sense to cast multiple Method Formula on the small piece of Zhuo Ning's soul within his Sea of Consciousness.

The soul enveloped by the Method Formula shrank little by little, eventually becoming a white sphere that floated around Yi Xuan's soul.

At this moment, Yi Xuan felt that he had control over Zhuo Ning's life and death, Soul Control Technique was completed.
