After the white light, the empty hall changed its appearance.
Next to the platform where Liu Jingyun had just sat, a long staircase appeared, leading directly to the underground.
Liu Jingyun grabbed Ren Zhongyuan by the collar, lifted him up, and walked down the stairs. He was completely unaware that a gray bead was floating beside him. Half a second later, the bead shook and disappeared into thin air.
The jade talisman on Ren Zhongyuan's neck made Liu Jingyun covetous. Although he was afraid of being sought after by the powerful monks behind Ren Zhongyuan, Liu Jingyun decided to try his luck. Liu Jingyun dared to do this because he had a trump card in his hand.
More than half a month ago, Liu Jingyun had just learned two advanced techniques in the "Immortal Mansion": the Forget Dust Technique and the Puppet Technique.
As the name suggests, those who are affected by the "Forget Dust Technique" will completely forget their past. Those who are affected by the "Puppet Technique" will only obey the person who casts the spell and will not harbor any thoughts of betrayal.
The most important thing is that people who have been hit by the "Forget Dust Art" and "Puppet Art" will look almost the same as normal people, their intelligence and actions will not be affected. The only thing that changes is that they will always remember who their master is and will always be loyal to their master.
Liu Jingyun planned to use the "Forget Dust Technique" to erase Ren Zhongyuan's memories first, and then let Ren Zhongyuan voluntarily "give" the jade talisman to him. No matter how powerful a powerful cultivator is, he can't risk his life just to give the jade talisman to his descendants, right?
Liu Jingyun carried Ren Zhongyuan along as they walked, thinking all the way. Just thinking about the high-level defensive jade talisman on Ren Zhongyuan's neck that would soon be his own, Liu Jingyun's heart was burning with excitement.
If it weren't for the fact that the "Forget Dust Art" required the use of a well-carved formation and could not be interrupted in the middle, Liu Jingyun would have been eager to try it in the hall just now.
The stairs were long and slanted, and at the end was a flat ground. After Liu Jingyun carried Ren Zhongyuan for more than ten minutes, they finally stood in front of a tightly closed iron door.
Liu Jingyun knocked on the iron door twice with a specific frequency of "three long and one short", and then stopped.
The door opened, and standing behind it was a burly man who was over 1.8 meters tall.
When the big man saw Liu Jingyun, he shrank back noticeably, as if he had an indescribable fear of Liu Jingyu.
"Hmm~!" Liu Jingyun cleared his throat, not very satisfied with the big man's performance. In terms of handling, this subordinate was far inferior to Xiao Gu. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find anyone to take Xiao Gu's position, Liu Jingyun really would have looked down on him.
After being reminded by Liu Jingyun's humming sound, the big man quickly bowed respectfully to Liu Jingyun and asked, "The Palace Master is looking for me, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Xiao Hu, is the stone chamber I used a few days ago still empty? I need to do something." Liu Jingyun asked lightly.
"It's empty. I don't live there now. I live with Dasha." Xiao Hu's face flashed with fear when Liu Jingyun asked about the stone chamber. It was obvious that Xiao Hu was a little wary of the stone chamber Liu Jingyun mentioned.
"Lead the way." Liu Jingyun was still worried that without his orders, Xiao Hu and the others would destroy the formations carved in the stone chamber. Now that Xiao Hu was no longer living there, the formations should still be there.
"Palace Master, you caught this kid, should you let him try Gu Ge..." Xiao Hu looked at Ren Zhongyuan who was unconscious in Liu Jingyun's hands, and a trace of pity flashed across his face.
That stone chamber was like hell to Xiao Hu. Didn't you see how Gu Ge, the toughest among them, screamed in agony after being punished by the Palace Master after entering the stone chamber? That sound was terrifying.
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Xiao Hu was interrupted by Liu Jingyun before he could finish his words. Liu Jingyun hated people like Xiao Hu the most. They had little ability and were not smart. They kept asking questions that they should and shouldn't ask.
"Yes, yes." Seeing Liu Jingyun's rage, Xiao Hu didn't dare to say anything. Gu Ge's fate was obvious! Compared to Xiao Hu, Gu Ge had a much closer relationship with the Palace Master. Xiao Hu had heard that Gu Ge was the first person to follow the Palace Master. Over the years, Gu Ge had done so much for the Palace Master, but just because he let a woman escape, Gu Ge was punished by the Palace Master. It was better for a little scoundrel like him to stay away from the Palace Master.
Liu Jingyun had no idea that Xiao Hu, whom he despised, was planning to stay away from him. Hearing Xiao Hu mention Gu Ge, Liu Jingyun remembered the first person he had used the "Forget Dust Technique" and "Puppetry Technique" on, and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Hu, how is Xiao Gu these days?"
"Ah? Palace Master, you're asking about Brother Gu?" Xiao Hu didn't understand Liu Jingyun's purpose in asking this, but he subconsciously spoke well of "Little Gu" as Liu Jingyun called him. "Ever since you, Palace Master, taught Brother Gu a lesson, he's been behaving himself these days, talking less and working more."
"Well, that's good." Liu Jingyun was satisfied. That's right! His "Forget Dust Technique" made Xiao Gu forget his past, and his "Puppetry Technique" made Xiao Gu never think of betraying him in the future. It was simply perfect!
If the spell succeeds again today, should he consider using these two spells on all of his more important subordinates?
Being stared at by Liu Jingyun, Xiao Hu felt a chill on his spine and couldn't help but shiver twice.
"What has Xiao Gu said these days? Tell me everything." Liu Jingyun was a little worried and asked Xiao Hu whether Xiao Gu had any "aftereffects" after the operation.
"Palace Master, Brother Gu didn't say anything else except that he was hungry and wanted to eat, and asked if there was anything he could do." Seeing the slightest smile on Liu Jingyun's face, Xiao Hu quickly pleaded for Xiao Gu: "Palace Master, Brother Gu was confused for a moment and let that woman go. When you asked me to arrest Brother Gu, he didn't resist at all and followed me to the stone chamber where I lived. Brother Gu told me that he didn't want to betray you, Palace Master. That woman was a relative of his from his hometown, and he was soft-hearted for a moment, so..."
"Hmph!" Liu Jingyun snorted.
As they were talking, Liu Jingyun and Xiao Hu had already arrived in front of the stone chamber. Liu Jingyun stopped and told Xiao Hu, "Go call Xiao Gu over. I need to ask him a few questions."
"Okay, Palace Master, please wait a moment." Seeing that Liu Jingyun didn't look like he wanted to settle the score with Gu Ge, Xiao Hu quickly ran over to call someone.
Liu Jingyun ignored Xiao Hu who was running away, and carried Ren Zhongyuan into the stone chamber, then placed Ren Zhongyuan on the skull pattern on the floor of the stone chamber.
Once the "Forget Dust Technique" is cast, there is no turning back. If it is interrupted during the spell, Liu Jingyun will suffer the backlash of the spell. This is why Liu Jingyun needs to find a safe place.
