Shen Zhao thought for a moment and said, "You can go to Qingyang City and find someone named He Yishou and Feng Xiunian. Just say you are my subordinates, and they will make arrangements for you."
"yes!"
After giving his instructions, Shen Zhao didn't linger any longer and strode away from the Dragon King's Palace, heading towards the Yun family's direction.
...
The Princess's Residence in the Ziyuan Empire...
As soon as the Fifth Princess Zhao Wanyu returned to her residence, she hurriedly entered the backyard, her beautiful peach blossom eyes constantly searching around.
His furrowed brows only slowly relaxed when he saw a handsome young man standing by the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"Brother Lin Feng!"
Zhao Wanyu rushed forward, trying to grab Lin Feng's arm.
Lin Feng quickly took two steps back and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Ignoring everything else, Zhao Wanyu grabbed his arm and said sweetly, "Brother Lin Feng, why do you look so aloof? Don't you like me?"
Lin Feng said softly, "Your Highness is of noble birth, while I am but a commoner. I am already extremely grateful to have been taken in by Your Highness. How could I dare to ask for anything more?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wanyu hurriedly said to the maids behind her, "All of you, step back. No one may enter without my permission."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the maids left, Zhao Wanyu said, "Brother Lin Feng, don't feel guilty. As long as you are in my princess's residence, no one can touch you."
Lin Feng gave a wry smile: "I am naturally grateful for Your Highness's kindness, but Your Highness should also know that I am wanted by the entire Eastern Continent sects."
Zhao Wanyu: "Brother Lin Feng is definitely not an evil cultivator. He must have been framed. I believe that one day, Brother Lin Feng will be exonerated!"
Lin Feng nodded, a sorrowful expression on his face: "Thank you for believing in me, Your Highness. But I don't know how to repay Your Highness's great kindness."
Zhao Wanyu pouted and said, "Brother Lin Feng is being too polite. I believe that with Brother Lin Feng's talent, he will definitely have a place in the Immortal Martial Continent in the future."
"Thank you for your kind words, Princess. I will certainly not fail to live up to your kindness."
At this moment, a maid rushed in to report: "Your Highness, someone from the palace has sent a piece of blood jade coral. Please examine it yourself."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Zhao Wanyu's face. She was about to refuse and casually send the servant to check the package when she heard Lin Feng say, "Your Highness, royal matters are of utmost importance. Please go ahead. I'll just wander around here. There's no need to worry."
Zhao Wanyu nodded obediently: "Alright, Brother Lin Feng, you wait for me here. If you need anything, just tell my maid. I'll be right back."
After saying that, she left the backyard reluctantly.
Once everyone had left, Lin Feng's smile froze. He walked to a corner of a rockery, raised the finger with the Soul-Nourishing Ring on it, and said, "Master, are you there?"
Before long, the Soul Nourishing Ring emitted a faint blue light.
"What's wrong?"
"Master, please help me! I want Zhao Wanyu!"
"Feng'er, do you know what you're saying?"
"I understand, but I can only take revenge by relying on Zhao Wanyu's background. I beg Master to grant my request."
There was a moment of silence within the Soul Nourishing Ring.
"Feng'er, I think you have already captured the Fifth Princess's heart. As long as you make the request, she will not refuse."
Lin Feng shook his head: "No, even if I can get her body, I can't guarantee that she will always be loyal to me. I want to keep her body and mind firmly under my control. I hope Master will grant my request."
His tone was urgent, and his eyes were greedy and full of resentment.
The events at the Qingyun Sect deeply affected him; to reach the pinnacle, he needed to build his own power.
Now that Shen Zhao has eliminated his possibility of entering the orthodox Xuanmen sect, he can only find another path to realize his lifelong ambition.
After a long silence within the Soul Nourishing Ring, a soft sigh finally escaped.
"There is a way... but... are you sure you want to use it..."
"As long as I can take revenge, as long as there is a sliver of opportunity to rise in rank, I am unwilling to give up. I beg Master to grant my request."
"Enough. Have you ever heard of the 'Ten Thousand Paths Slave Scripture'?"
"The Scripture of Ten Thousand Paths of Slavery?"
"Of the three thousand Great Daos, all living beings are servants. This scripture's divine power is a secret kept hidden in the Nine Netherworlds, capable of imprinting a slave mark on a person without their knowledge or the knowledge of gods or ghosts."
Those who have the slave mark implanted will not be affected in their mind or spirit; they will be utterly devoted to the person who implanted the slave mark, following them for eternity, and will never fear betrayal.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up: "Such heaven-defying supernatural power exists, but I wonder where it can be obtained?"
"I was fortunate enough to learn a little bit of the Wan Dao Nu Dian. If you want to learn it, I can teach you. Although the rank is not high, it is more than enough to deal with someone like Zhao Wanyu who is already fond of you."
Lin Feng silently memorized these words, vowing that one day he would find the complete Myriad Paths Slave Scripture and turn everyone into his slaves, especially those high and mighty emperors and venerables.
"Master, please teach me quickly."
"Alright, calm yourself down first, and I will now impart to you the complete introductory chapter of the Myriad Paths Slave Scripture."
