Blood Pact Backlash.

The woman in black robes suddenly felt dizzy, and her soul uncontrollably split into a tiny wisp, merging into the six-pointed star array of the blood pact.

This great formation quickly merged into her body and disappeared.

A bitter expression appeared on the black-robed woman's face as she slowly knelt before Lu Chen and whispered, "Yiyi greets Master!"

She schemed and plotted, but she never expected that Lu Chen would actually have dragon blood in his body.

Dragon blood is extremely yang, capable of overcoming all evil spirits and demons. How could her blood pact possibly withstand something as powerful as dragon blood?

If the blood pact fails, it will inevitably backfire.

Therefore, she became Lu Chen's servant instead.

Lu Chen also sensed that the black-robed woman's soul was under his control and she would not have any thought of resistance.

Moreover, absolute loyalty.

"hehe!"

Lu Chen smiled.

He was somewhat surprised. In fact, what was in his body was not dragon blood, but dragon essence, a treasure formed from the condensed essence of a true dragon.

The special reward that Lu Chen received was the Dragon Essence Fruit.

After consuming it, Lu Chen's physical strength increased greatly, and the energy of the Dragon Essence naturally entered his body and was integrated into his entire being.

Of course, there's no need to explain this.

In fact, Lu Chen was not worried about being controlled at all, because the innate sword body could not be controlled by the soul, even if one cultivated the secret technique of soul control.

The innate sword body can itself be used as a sword.

A sword can also be without a soul.

Lu Chen's soul can be completely integrated into his body, making him immune to any soul attacks.

No one knew this except Lu Chen himself.

After all, innate sword physique is extremely rare.

"Your name is Yiyi?"

"Yes, Master!"

Yi Yi's expression showed only respect.

Lu Chen laughed and said, "Tell me, you tried to control me, your master, before. Now, how should I punish you?"

Yiyi's pale, bloodless face immediately showed a pleading look as she said, "Yiyi truly deserves to die a thousand deaths. I beg Master to forgive Yiyi's death sentence and allow Master to punish me as you see fit!"

"Get up!"

Lu Chen was just saying it; now that Yiyi is his servant, there's no need to dwell on what happened before.

Yiyi struggled to her feet; her knee injury hadn't healed yet.

"Here, this might be useful!"

Lu Chen casually took out a Xuanling Pill and tossed it to Yiyi.

Yiyi took it and was immediately shocked.

The aura emanating from this Xuanling Pill was so rich that it was clearly an extraordinary product.

"Low-grade elixir?"

Yi Yi was shocked. She hadn't expected her master to be so generous, giving her, a low-grade spirit pill, without a second thought.

Little did she know that keeping someone like Lu Chen wouldn't be of much use.

It's just a low-grade elixir. Even if it allows Lu Chen to break through the Qi Refining realm, it will still require a certain amount of time to cultivate.

However, the most important function of this Xuanling Pill is to heal injuries.

Cultivation?

What a load of rubbish!

Lu Chen was too lazy to cultivate.

Yiyi immediately sat down cross-legged and swallowed the Xuanling Pill. Her knee injury was quickly healed.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and when he saw her stand up, he asked, "What you just said, which parts were true and which parts were false?"

“Except for the blood pact, everything else is real.”

Yiyi replied respectfully.

"What exactly is the nature of your method of controlling insects?"

Lu Chen was still very curious.

Yiyi flipped her hand and took out an insect, which she then held out in front of Lu Chen, saying, "Every member of our Witch Insect Clan raises an insect from childhood. This insect of mine is called the Soul-Devouring Insect!"

"Soul-devouring worms?"

Lu Chen frowned. This name was a bit scary.

"The Witch Insect Clan raises many kinds of insects, among which the Soul-Eating Insect is the most difficult to raise. When it grows to a certain stage, it possesses extremely terrifying abilities, capable of devouring souls!"

"Devouring souls?" Lu Chen guessed.

Yiyi nodded and said, "The Soul-Devouring Worm can produce its own larvae! But it needs to provide enough energy! However, the Soul-Devouring Worm grows extremely slowly, and most importantly, it needs to devour souls to truly become powerful!"

Lu Chen nodded and asked, "Devouring a soul? What is a soul?"

"The Soul-Eating Insect can devour souls; that's its innate offensive ability. To attack an opponent's soul, its own soul must be strong. Therefore, it can eat anything that can enhance its soul cultivation, and it will benefit greatly from it!"

Yi Yi patiently explained, and looking at Lu Chen, a glimmer of hope arose in her heart.

"As for the soul body, that is something that exists independently as a soul. All things have a spirit, and some treasures can generate souls, such as the legendary Ghost Fruit!"

As a member of the Witch Insect Clan, her greatest dream is to raise a swarm of the most terrifying Soul-Eating Insects!

Unfortunately, this requires a massive amount of resources.

It's simply impossible for her to do it on her own.

Now, it seems there's a glimmer of hope.

"Ghost Fruit?"

Lu Chen felt he needed to do some research another day, as he knew far too little.

Putting all that aside for the moment, Lu Chen glanced at Yi Yi and said, "How come your strength is so poor? Besides playing with insects, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

"Uh... This servant is useless and has disappointed her master!"

Yiyi gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I will teach you a cultivation technique. Practice it carefully!"

Lu Chen was never stingy with those around him, and directly passed on the Sword Control Technique to Yi Yi.
