"What?" Xia Mu glared, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Seniors want to recognize me as the master?"

Changli on the side also let out an exclamation, but quickly waited with bated breath for the dragon-shaped soul puppet's answer.

"Yes, I was about to recognize you as Lord, and you heard you right, and I didn't mistakenly say it. The dragon-shaped soul puppet looked at the surprised expressions of the two and seemed to feel a little satisfied.

When Xia Mu heard this, he was still a little stunned, although the dragon-shaped soul puppet had already said so, but he was more cautious in his heart.

I have never heard of the weak voluntarily following the strong, but I have never heard of the strong voluntarily deigning to follow the weak, the strength of the dragon-shaped soul puppet in front of him Xia Mu is not clear, but it is estimated that it is at least around the eighth or ninth level of immortality, or even stronger.

Such a person would recognize himself as the master without any purpose, and he would not believe it if he killed Xia Mu.

The dragon-shaped soul puppet seemed to be able to see through what Xia Mu was thinking, and said coldly:

"The confession I am talking about is temporary, and before recognizing the lord, I also want you to make a spiritual oath, and when you get out of this Thousand Machines Palace, you will immediately terminate the contract with my master and servant. ”

"Senior, can't you go out by yourself?" Xia Mu asked when he heard what the other party said, and immediately realized something.

"I have been under the Divine Soul Forbidden Spell since I was refined, and I can't leave this Thousand Machines Hall for the rest of my life, but if I recognize you as the Lord and you take me out, it won't be considered a violation of the Divine Soul Forbidden Curse. ”

Xia Mu knew it in his heart when he heard this, although he didn't know whether what the other party said was true or not, but his credibility was very high.

Of course, the main thing is that Xia Mu feels that if the other party wants to deal with him, he doesn't have to be so troublesome, just bombard and kill with absolute strength, although it is a bit self-deprecating, but the other party does have this strength, but Xia Mu's escape method is not covered, if this dragon-shaped soul puppet really has any intentions, it may not be able to succeed.

However, the dragon-shaped soul puppet didn't care what Xia Mu thought in his heart, and continued: "Originally, I didn't plan to choose you, but just now I saw that you looked good to the followers around you, so I changed my mind temporarily, otherwise you would already be a dead corpse by now." ”

Hearing this, Xia Mu smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling that the other party chose him, and he had to be grateful to Dai De.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, believe it or not, now let's start making a spiritual vow. The dragon-shaped soul puppet looked at Xia Mu and said lightly: "Follow me, I, Xia Mu, made a soul oath today and voluntarily signed a master-servant contract with Nightshade, but after leaving the Thousand Machines Palace, this contract will be terminated by itself, and during the maintenance of the contract, you must not support Nightshade at will, you need to wait for it." ”

"I'm Xia Mu......" Xia Mu subconsciously wanted to follow along, but quickly reacted with a shocked face: "No, how do you know my name?"

"What's so strange about this, don't you know that there is another magic in this world called mind voyeurism. Long Kui's eyes squinted, as if he felt that Xia Mu was making a fuss like this.

"Voyeurism?" Xia Mu's face suddenly turned a little ugly.

Seeing this, Long Kui snorted coldly, and said as if explaining: "Don't worry, I didn't spy on your inner thoughts, at most, I just looked at what your character is, as for the ones you have hidden in your heart, I am not interested in knowing, and this voyeurism is not as powerful as you think, if I want to peek into the deepest secrets of your heart, you will definitely be aware of it." ”

Hearing what the other party said, Xia Mu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he had also heard of the characteristics of this kind of spell, it was true that he could not peep into other people's thoughts as he wanted, and the deeper the secret, the greater the possibility that the other party would perceive, and it even involved things such as cause and effect, although Xia Mu did not understand it very well, but he had read a lot of ancient books that recorded this kind of information.

"Hmph, with the identity of this seat, I won't deceive you as a little Five Elements Realm cultivator, so hurry up and swear. Seeing that Xia Mu was silent, a faint look of impatience appeared between Long Kui's eyebrows, and at the same time, a powerful coercion came out of his body, as if to warn Xia Mu that the situation in front of him was not something he could choose arbitrarily.

Feeling this coercion, Xia Mu's heart shook fiercely, and he could only honestly swear according to what Long Kui said before.

"Hehe, that's right. After Xia Mu made a spiritual oath, Long Kui seemed to be relieved, and suddenly said with a smile: "Okay, let's start the ceremony of recognizing the Lord." ”

Hearing this, Xia Mu asked in his heart:

"Senior, as far as I know, the puppet recognizes that the master's cultivation is generally not too far from the master, and now the gap between you and me in strength is ...... Even if the seniors don't resist, I'm afraid the younger generations don't have the ability to recognize the Lord and succeed. ”

"If it is a normal situation, you really don't even deserve to lift my shoes, but since I let you confess the Lord, there is naturally a way to make this confession ceremony go smoothly. Long Kui said, the breath in his body suddenly weakened a lot, and the spiritual pressure dropped suddenly, and he actually dropped directly from the Immortal Realm to the Shentai Realm, with such a large span that Xia Mu and Changli were also a little surprised.

Of course, what surprised them the most was the change in the appearance of the nightshade, the original tall and mighty dragon-shaped soul puppet body turned into a white-skinned and beautiful blue-clothed young woman in a breath.

"Don't be stupid, don't hurry up and start recognizing the main ceremony!" Seeing that Xia Mu was still standing there stupidly, Nightshade couldn't help urging.

When Xia Mu heard this, not only did there ripple in his heart, but he quickly reacted and walked to the front of the nightshade and sat down cross-legged.

Accompanied by the sound of incantations.

Blood spilled from Xia Mu's body, turning into blood-colored runes floating around him, and the blood light flowed endlessly.

As soon as his arm was raised, the palm of his right palm was attached to Nightshade's forehead, and suddenly, all the blood-colored runes floating around him seemed to have found a new host, and they all disappeared into Nightshade's body in a flash.

After a trace of abnormal flush flashed across Nightshade's face, she honestly allowed these blood-colored runes to imprint into her body.

However, even so, there are still many blood-colored runes that have been repelled by a powerful force after being submerged in the body of the nightshade, and it seems that the puppet body of the nightshade instinctively resists Xia Mu's confession.

Xia Mu was secretly shocked, so he had to urge the Blood Demon Sutra to manipulate the blood-colored runes that had been rejected to penetrate into the body of the nightshade again.

Even so, the whole confession ceremony was quite difficult.

In the blink of an eye, the time for a stick of incense passed.

The blood-colored runes that poured out of Xia Mu's body had been completely imprinted into Nightshade's body, and just when Xia Mu thought that the ceremony of recognizing the Lord was about to be completed and wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the Fetal Palace Linghu in his body suddenly trembled violently, and the expression on his face suddenly became frightened.

Almost at the same time, the spiritual power in his spiritual lake boiled all at once, and quickly poured into his right palm along the tendons and veins in his body, and then submerged into the nightshade's body.

And the latter's body was like a bottomless pit, devouring the spiritual power in Xia Mu's body.

In just the blink of an eye, the spiritual power in Xia Mu's body was lost by as much as one percent.

This sudden change naturally made Xia Mu so shocked that he almost lost his soul, and hurriedly moved his arm, wanting to withdraw his palm from the forehead of the nightshade, but with this movement, he suddenly found that his body could not move at all.

This made him even more shocked, and at the same time he felt that he was still too careless, such a change, whether intentional or unintentional, must be inseparable from the nightshade.

However, after all, his mind was extraordinary, and he quickly regained his composure, and after several attempts, he found that he was still unable to move, so he sank his mind into his body, trying his best to keep his mind calm, and controlling the spiritual power in the Fetal Palace Spirit Lake, so that the speed of its passage could slow down a little.

In the blink of an eye, most of the hour passed.

At this time, the spiritual power in Xia Mu's body had lost nearly ninety percent, but the devouring power from Long Kui's body still had not disappeared, and even faintly increased.

At this moment, Xia Mu couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

God knows what will happen when the spiritual power in his body is devoured.

It's a pity that Xia Mu can't do anything right now, he has tried the methods he can try for most of the hours before, but it didn't have much effect at all, and he can only watch as the last trace of spiritual power in the fetal palace spirit lake in his body is also devoured.

Subsequently, Xia Mu only felt that the flesh and blood essence in his body also had a faint tendency to begin to pass.

But at this moment, the reincarnation life and death mark that had been hidden in the Spirit Lake of his Fetal Palace suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and suddenly burst out with a powerful suction.

As a result, the loss of flesh and blood essence in Xia Mu's body stopped, and even the spiritual power that had been swallowed by Nightshade before was sucked back into Xia Mu's Fetal Palace Spirit Lake with the sudden outbreak of the reincarnation mark of life and death.

In the blink of an eye, the spiritual power in Xia Mu's fetal palace spirit lake instantly filled, but this was not the end, after the fetal palace spirit lake was filled with crystallized spiritual power, the devouring speed of the reincarnation mark of life and death did not stop, and a large amount of spiritual power still flowed from nightshade's body to Xia Mu's body.

Seeing this, Xia Mu was naturally overjoyed, and worked hard to refine these extra spiritual powers out of thin air, and infused them into the second spiritual lake in the Jizhong Palace.

As a result, it didn't take long for Xia Mu's second spiritual lake in the middle palace to gradually be filled with crystallized spiritual power, and in an instant, Xia Mu's cultivation instantly broke through from the late stage of the Five Elements to the Great Perfection of the Five Elements, and in a way that he himself inexplicably completed the accumulation of spiritual power before being promoted to the Immortal Realm.

But at this time, the nightshade, which was originally immobile, suddenly had a golden light gushing out of her body, forcibly pushing away Xia Mu's palm that was close to her forehead, and at the same time, the blood light flashed on her forehead, and a blood-colored mark appeared, representing that the ceremony of recognizing the Lord had been completed.

On the other side, after Xia Mu's reincarnation mark of life and death in his body disappeared again, he regained his ability to act, and immediately floated back and distanced himself from Nightshade.

Although he knew that it was the other party who first asked him to perform the ceremony of recognizing the lord with bad intentions, it was undeniable that it was himself who benefited in the end, in case the other party woke up and became angry, Xia Mu was really not sure if the blood-colored mark could restrain the other party.

And Chang Li, who had been watching from the sidelines, saw Xia Mu's posture, and instantly understood that something must have happened in the process of recognizing the lord that he didn't know, and hurriedly joined Xia Mu.

Just as the two of them looked at the nightshade with their eyes closed as if they were facing great enemies, the latter finally opened his eyes after his eyelashes moved slightly.
