Tianlin, Holy Spirit Pearl in hand, approached Tuoba Xi step by step. No matter how Tuoba Xi attacked, it was all ineffective.
Perhaps the original Tuoba Xi still had a chance to fight, but after activating his Spirit Avatar, his attribute power greatly increased, and all his Spirit Abilities carried a strong earth attribute. This could be said to be completely countered by Tianlin.
"What exactly is going on?" Tuoba Xi, a dignified Titled Douluo, now showed unparalleled fear towards Tianlin.
He suspected that Tianlin possessed the ultimate earth, but even with the ultimate attribute, it shouldn't be able to suppress him to this extent, right?
"Since obtaining the Earth Spirit Pearl, all earth-type enemies must submit to me!" Tianlin said proudly.
The second Spirit Ring of the Holy Spirit Pearl lit up, and absolute attribute suppression crashed down on Tuoba Xi and Tuoba Ye like an avalanche.
A Soul Douluo and a Titled Douluo were instantly unable to move.
"It's over, Tuoba Xi." Tianlin's right hand transformed into a Dark Gold Terrorclaw, grabbing Tuoba Xi's neck, preparing to directly snap it.
"Wait, Lord Tianlin, spare me! You should know that everything I've done was instructed by Pope Your Excellency. As long as you spare me today, I can betray Spirit Hall and wholeheartedly serve you from now on. After all, I am a Titled Douluo, and the Sect Master of the Sacred Dragon Sect, the leader of the Lower Four Sects. I can bring a lot of power to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Tuoba Xi directly begged.
He had finally cultivated to become a Titled Douluo, and he really didn't want to die. Moreover, he had joined Spirit Hall purely for profit, and he wasn't as loyal as those elders. Now that his life was on the line, what was the use of talking about benefits?
"You want to submit to me?" Tianlin heard this, retracted his Dark Gold Terrorclaw, and smiled, "I don't mind accepting your submission, but the benefits you just mentioned aren't enough to buy your life. Do you have more bargaining chips? Tell me!"
"Yes! Spirit Hall ordered me and Feng Tianlei to recruit small Sects in Star Luo, but those Sects didn't directly join Spirit Hall. Instead, they became affiliated with my Sacred Dragon Sect or Feng Tianlei's Wind Sword Sect, and then our two Sects became affiliated with Spirit Hall. That's the relationship." Tuoba Xi said without hesitation. To save his life, he couldn't care about anything else now.
"Oh! So that's how it is." Tianlin became a little interested. "So, you actually have a very powerful Soul Master force in your hands."
"Yes, on this continent, the three major forces of Sects, Empires, and Spirit Hall are distinct. If Spirit Hall directly collects Sect power, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the Empire. Therefore, it can only be Sects collecting Sects. Now, I have recruited at least twenty small and medium-sized Sects, including the Sparrow Bee Sect, which has a Soul Douluo. Feng Langdie has become my lover and obeys my orders. Our overall strength adds up to tens of thousands of Soul Masters, and there are five Soul Douluo-level experts. As long as you give the order, I am willing to immediately lead them to betray Spirit Hall and join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
It was indeed a very powerful force. How many Soul Masters were there in the entire continent? Even their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only had four to five thousand Soul Masters, and this Sacred Dragon Sect had silently developed to this point with the support of Spirit Hall.
Such strength was indeed enough to make Tianlin tempted.
"Okay, I am willing to accept your surrender, but I don't need you to immediately betray Spirit Hall and join my Sect. On the contrary, I want you to continue to help them gather Sect power. When the time is right, completely surrender to me!" Tianlin was very greedy. Ten thousand Soul Masters were not enough. He wanted all of Spirit Hall's efforts to benefit his own Sect.
"Yes, I will obey your orders!" Tuoba Xi immediately said.
"What about you?" Tianlin looked at Tuoba Ye.
"I'll listen to my big brother."
This person was simple-minded. Tianlin could tell that he had a good talent for cultivation, but he lacked subjective will. Well, this kind of person was easy to control.
"Very good. Then, this is a reward for you, and also a restraint!" The Asura Sword Mark on Tianlin's forehead flashed two rays of light, directly entering the minds of the two.
"Lord, what is this?" Tuoba Xi touched his forehead, feeling nothing unusual, and asked in confusion.
"This is called the Asura Death Mark. It is a skill I created based on the mark on my forehead. My mark is called the Asura Sword Mark, which is a symbol of participating in the God Test, but it is also a restraint on me by the God Test. If I fail the test, or I give up the God Test, this Sword Mark will explode and make me die miserably." Tianlin explained.
"What I just gave you is the same. If you violate today's promise and think about betraying, you will be punished by the Death Mark, like this."
Tianlin activated his Mental Power, and the Death Marks in the minds of Tuoba Xi and Tuoba Ye began to explode at the same time, causing them to roll on the ground in pain, as if their entire heads were about to explode.
"Lord, please stop! We will never betray you! I am willing to swear on my Spirit!" Tuoba Xi wailed in pain.
Tianlin stopped urging the Death Mark. "There is no need to swear. The Death Mark is enough. Don't worry, as long as you are loyal in the future, this Death Mark will not only not explode, but also increase your cultivation speed. After all, it contains a trace of Asura God power. This is a gift from the gods. You must seize the opportunity!"
"When you have made great contributions in the future, I will naturally remove the Death Mark for you. Do you have any objections?"
Give a stick, then give a sweet date. This was a common method used by Ning Fengzhi on disciples who made mistakes in the Sect. Tianlin had also learned a bit of it.
Tuoba Xi and Tuoba Ye both knelt on the ground, "We have no objections, thank you for your gift, Your Excellency!"
Circumstances are stronger than people. Tuoba Xi was able to reach his current position, so of course he wouldn't be a fool. At this time, even if he was asked to personally attack a Spirit Hall Branch to show his loyalty, he wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.
"Very good, then, now think of a way to retreat with your people. Don't continue meaningless battles!" Tianlin ordered.
Since Tuoba Xi had already surrendered to him, and the people of the Sparrow Bee Sect were also Tuoba Xi's, then he naturally wouldn't harm his own subordinates.
"Yes!" Tuoba Xi nodded and immediately fired a signal flare into the sky, which was a message to retreat immediately if the situation was bad.
Not far away in the city, the people of the Wind Sword Sect and the Sparrow Bee Sect, who were fighting fiercely with Yang Wudi, Dragon Duke, and others, saw this signal and began to retreat one after another.
Especially Feng Tianlei, he had been waiting for this signal for a long time, because he knew that Tuoba Xi was definitely not Tianlin's opponent, but he didn't expect to be defeated so quickly. It seemed that Tianlin's strength had become stronger again.
Tianlin had to find a chance to get rid of this guy, but today Tuoba Xi brought too many people. If he only killed Feng Tianlei and let the others go, then once this matter spread, it would easily lead people to associate Tuoba Xi with colluding with him.
Tuoba Xi would have to continue to work in the name of Spirit Hall in the future, so he could only let Feng Tianlei go for the time being today.
