The cold jade box containing the Glazed Jade Tea was pushed toward Ning Zhirou. The radiance from the immortal herb shone on her face, which was filled with conflict and struggle.
Lin Yun's eloquence was undoubtedly impressive. Almost every word precisely hit Ning Zhirou's innermost thoughts, making her flustered and restless at the same time.
Especially the Glazed Jade Tea that Lin Yun presented, which brought a strong sense of desire to Ning Zhirou's beautiful eyes.
As someone who had already taken the Glazed Jade Tea once, Ning Zhirou knew too well what it could do. The stronger herbal scent, the more potent medicinal properties, and the more intense temptation filled her with a heartfelt longing.
She had no doubt that as long as she took this Glazed Jade Tea, her martial spirit could easily evolve as long as her talent wasn't too bad!
The ultimate pursuit of ten thousand years was within her reach!
This was just their minimum requirement, but the other promises in Lin Yun's words were what truly captivated Ning Zhirou's heart.
A divine position!
Lin Yun had promised them a divine position!
Even if Ning Zhirou didn't consider herself, she had to consider her daughter and the sect behind her. Most importantly, the promise that Lin Yun gave was simply too perfect and tempting.
As for a divine position, no one had become a god on the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years. Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had an ancestor who had become a god, to be honest, they were still skeptical about becoming a god. Otherwise, why had their sect been doing so poorly for the past ten thousand years despite their ancestor becoming a god?
But even if she put aside the ethereal promise of a divine position, the growth of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the inheritance of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda were enough for her to take a gamble!
As the saying goes: all in!
As for following Lin Yun and working for the soul beast race, would they be labeled as human traitors? Those were all just superficial matters! History is written by the victors. As long as the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect remains strong, who cares about the floods and destruction that might come later!
Without a word, Ning Zhirou closed the cold jade box and stuffed it, along with the Glazed Jade Tea, into her daughter's arms. Then, she decisively knelt before Lin Yun, submitting in an instant.
"Your Excellency, the Golden Dragon King, this concubine, as the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, pledges loyalty to you on behalf of the sect!"
"Very good!" Lin Yun nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "You humans have a saying that a wise person knows the times. I see that Sect Master Ning is a wise person who knows the times."
Being praised as a wise person by a soul beast leader made Ning Zhirou a little embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do. After all, her current identity was that of a loyal private, and she could only pretend she hadn't heard him.
"Your Excellency, now that this concubine has submitted to you, is there anything I can do to serve you?" Ning Zhirou asked in a soft voice.
Since she had made her decision, there was no point in being indecisive. After receiving benefits, she had to put in effort. Ning Zhirou naturally hoped that she and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could bring more benefits to Lin Yun so that they wouldn't be discarded like a good bow after the birds were gone.
"There's nothing for now, and there might not be in the future. After all, your strength is not much use to me. Taking you in is just a backup plan. If I need you in the future, I will send someone to notify you," Lin Yun said casually as he stood up.
Ning Zhirou stared at Lin Yun in a daze. While her heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness, a sense of relief also appeared.
The fact that her sect, which she was so proud of, was considered to have little use to the other party was a huge blow to the beautiful sect master.
But the fact that the other party didn't need them also meant that the disciples of her sect wouldn't be sent to their deaths. This was what Ning Zhirou felt relieved about.
No matter what, from now on, she and her sect had embarked on a journey with an unknown future. Whether it was to rise or to completely fall and be destroyed was something she would have to witness in the future.
"Oh, right." Lin Yun turned to leave. As if he had thought of something, he suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly, and looked at Ning Zhirou.
"Don't call me Your Excellency anymore. I'm not used to that title. Just call me... Hall Master!" Lin Yun's smile was a little strange. "The name Beast Taming Sect was just a cover. The force that I have established is called:"
"—The Soul Palace!"
Clap clap—
Lin Yun chuckled and clapped his hands. The next second, a spatial rift was strangely torn open in front of him. Lin Yun walked in without looking back, and Empress Bing followed closely behind him.
The spatial rift slowly closed, and only a low whisper echoed in Ning Zhirou's ears.
"After taking my things, do not even think about betraying me. Otherwise, not only will you die, but no one in your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will survive!"
Boom!
A silent boom exploded in Ning Zhirou's mind, and then a dark green aura quickly spread in her spiritual sea, finally condensing into a small tree with strange patterns on its trunk and every leaf looking like an evil eye.
With just a single glance, the knowledgeable Ning Zhirou recognized what the tree in her spiritual sea was.
The Demon-Eyed Tree!
And the identity of the soul beast who made the move was self-evident: the terrifying powerhouse ranked fifth among the ten great Fierce Beasts, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts!
Yes, how could the co-lord of the Fierce Beasts travel with only one Empress Bing for protection? The presence of the King of Ten Thousand Beasts in this situation seemed especially reasonable, and there might even be more than just these two.
The soul beast powerhouses who hadn't appeared in the shadows would only be more numerous.
For example, the unknown powerhouse who helped Lin Yun open the spatial rift, and the other two of the three Great Kings of the Far North.
Now, the soul beast powerhouses of the Star Dou Great Forest and the Far North have clearly shown that they are Lin Yun's subordinates. What about the Demon Forest in the Sun Moon Empire? What about the endless sea Fierce Beasts outside the continent?
As long as the soul beast race produces one powerhouse who can have the final say, humans... are truly vulnerable!
What kind of force could stop the ten great Fierce Beasts from teaming up to pay a friendly visit?
Ning Zhirou's heart was calm as she silently looked at the location where the spatial rift had closed.
"Mother..." Ning Tian saw her mother's dazed look and called out softly, her tone filled with worry.
Ning Zhirou turned around and gently rubbed her daughter's head with a warm smile. "Little Tian, this is a great opportunity, not just for the two of us, but for our entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
"Of course, besides being an opportunity, it is also a crisis that is enough to destroy us. Since Mother has already chosen the path, I hope you can firmly support me. One day, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will be able to regain our glory in our hands."
The number one support system sect on the continent!
