Du Ning's back hit the stove and he had no way to retreat.

The once high and mighty palace master was now huddled in a corner, her luxurious dress covered in dust.

Li Lingge approached slowly, and the moon mark on his fingertips became brighter and brighter.

"Are you scared now?"

Before he finished speaking, he made a lightning-fast move and pointed a finger at Du Ning's forehead.

The slender finger was like a red-hot iron, emitting a dazzling purple-gold light the moment it made contact.

"ah--"

Du Ning felt a strange spirit violently intruding into her sea of ​​consciousness. The feeling of being invaded was a thousand times more terrifying than the invasion of her physical body.

Her world of consciousness began to spin, and countless fragments of memory were forced out.

"No, let me go!"

Du Ning struggled in pain, but having lost her cultivation, she was unable to resist at all.

She clearly felt that Li Lingge's consciousness was wandering in the deepest part of her memory, like a poisonous snake searching for something.

What's even more terrifying is that she sensed a strange resonance growing in her sea of ​​consciousness.

That was a sign that her fellow practitioner's soul-stealing technique had begun to work. Her soul was opening uncontrollably to the invader, and she even began to desire this kind of fusion!

Li Lingge closed his eyes and concentrated, and a complete moon pattern appeared on his forehead.

He saw the most hidden corner of Du Ning's memory and saw the formula he was looking for.

"I see."

Du Ning's screams suddenly became louder, and she felt her consciousness being torn in two.

One half was desperately resisting, while the other half was shamefully catering to the other's invasion.

The most intimate memories, the most cherished emotions, the darkest thoughts are all exposed.

Li Lingge's spiritual consciousness penetrated deep into Du Ning's sea of ​​consciousness, like a king inspecting his territory.

The layers of restrictions deep in Du Ning's memory collapsed before him, and everything was revealed before him without missing a word.

Suddenly, Li Lingge's consciousness shook, and at the core of Du Ning's soul, a chain mark with dazzling golden light was suspended.

Every time the mark flashes, countless tiny runes flow, which is the key to controlling Du Ning's soul!

“Found it!”

Li Lingge's spiritual consciousness turned into a sharp sword and pierced the golden mark.

At the moment of contact, an obscure and ancient formula flooded into his consciousness like a torrent.

The text was not in any contemporary language, but it was automatically transformed into understandable information in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"A net of heaven and earth, binding the soul and locking the spirit..."

As the last syllable of the formula fell, something strange happened!

Li Lingge felt that his soul suddenly extended countless golden threads, which were closely connected with Du Ning's soul.

These threads are not physical, but they are millions of times stronger than the toughest black iron chains.

With just a thought, he could clearly sense every emotional fluctuation of Du Ning and even predict the rhythm of her next breath.

"I see."

Li Lingge withdrew his consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.

The moon mark on his fingertips had disappeared, replaced by a golden chain mark exactly the same as the one in Du Ning's sea of ​​consciousness, which was now slowly rotating in his palm.

Du Ning collapsed to the ground, cold sweat soaking his clothes on his back.

She was horrified to find that she could actually feel Li Lingge's emotions. It was not an ordinary spiritual perception, but an almost instinctive impulse of submission.

It was as if her soul had become an extension of the other person.

Li Lingge suddenly waved his hand, and the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi Formation suddenly dissipated.

The divine power absorbed by the formation turned into golden rain all over the sky and flowed back into Du Ning's body.

Her pale skin regained its luster, her exhausted meridians were filled with divine power again, and nine golden rings of divine light reappeared one by one behind her.

But there was no joy on Du Ning's face. She raised her restored jade hand tremblingly and looked at the divine power dancing at her fingertips.

These powers still belonged to her, but they were no longer completely under her control.

Just like a canary in a cage, no matter how full its wings are, it cannot fly beyond the boundaries drawn by its owner.

“Kneel down!”

Li Lingge's two plain words sounded like thunder in the depths of Du Ning's soul.

Her face twisted instantly, her eyes filled with shame and anger, but her body betrayed her will.

The hem of her elegant skirt swept the dust on the ground, and her knees began to bend.

The Master of Ziyun Palace, who had been looking down at Li Lingge during the day, was now lowering his body little by little in the most humiliating posture.

She bit her lower lip, blood dripping down her chin, but she couldn't stop her body from moving.

"very good."

Li Lingge looked down at the woman kneeling at his feet, the golden chain mark on his fingertips glowing slightly.

He could feel the hatred boiling in Du Ning's heart, but what he sensed even more clearly was that no matter how she struggled, she could not disobey his simplest order.

He reached out and lifted Dunning's chin, forcing her to look at him.

"From today on, you are still the Master of Ziyun Palace." His thumb brushed across her bloodstained lips. "But remember, every bit of divine power flowing through your body bears my mark."

As if he had thought of something, he added.

"Oh right, there's still the mark of the Purple Sky God Emperor for now, but I'll make it disappear in the future."

Boom, boom, boom!

"Palace Master."

Three regular knocks sounded outside the hall, each one seemed to knock on Du Ning's heartstrings that were on the verge of collapse.

Her dilated pupils suddenly contracted, like a drowning person grabbing at the last straw.

That was the voice of the Grand Elder of Ziyun Palace, and she was very familiar with it.

Li Lingge's fingers suddenly tightened, pinching her chin so hard that it hurt.

"You don't want others to know what's going on between us, do you?"
