"I ......"

Duke Anxi looked at the black-robed man who got up and walked towards him in confusion, and there were countless words he wanted to say but he couldn't hold them back.

"Don't worry, my lord, with me, no one can hurt you."

The hoarse voice of the black-robed man sounded uncomfortable, and Duke Anxi could only smile and nod reluctantly.

"Then there is a strong man...... I don't know anything about today, but when you decide when you can get my place, you will ask the strong man to drink with me all night, and I still have a lot of good wine at home......"

"If I accidentally have a hangover and wake up to find that I am already in a foreign country, then ...... Then I can't help it, I will do what others say, and I don't want to. ”

Under the pressure of being able to kill people, the Duke of Anthy tried to fool his way by pretending to be an ostrich.

In the end, you forced me! I, the Duke of Anxi, have been loyal and good for generations, and I have only one heart of loyalty to Your Majesty, and a little compromise is only to keep it useful and give Your Majesty a future drive.

In any case, the generational wealth of his Duke of Anxi's palace must not be inexplicably cut off in his hands tonight.

If his entire family died tonight, His Majesty the Emperor would probably either directly revoke the title of Duke of Anxi, or turn this great title over to his distant relatives......

Although the Duke of Anxi's choice is incomprehensible to the point of self-deception, he is still aware of current affairs.

Seeing small profits and forgetting righteousness, doing big things and cherishing their lives, most of the nobles who relied on blood inheritance for thousands of years have been abolished, and the performance of the Duke of Anxi is not unexpected.

"It seems that our Duke has figured it out, okay, okay!"

The black-robed elder laughed loudly and clapped his hands in applause.

The rest of the black-clothed people in the room also applauded, and for a while, the applause in the entire side hall was like a tide, revealing an indescribable weirdness and madness in the middle of the night.

Duke Anxi looked at the group of uninvited guests in the house who seemed to be in a not very normal mental state, and the tension and uneasiness in his heart had reached the extreme.

"In the future, the Duke will be our own person, I will do it, you are free!"

As soon as the black-robed elder waved his hand, the person standing beside him took out a pot of wine and two wine glasses from the storage ring, leaned over and poured wine for the two of them.

"Come on, come on, do it!"

"You...... You please. ”

Duke Anxi faced the faint candlelight, looked at the dark red wine in the wine glass, and the palm holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble slightly.

After drinking this glass of wine that I don't know what black ingredients are added to it, it is estimated that there is no turning back at all, and I can only go to the dark with them in the future......

Damn, forget it, it's like Lao Tzu has a choice!

After a while, the Duke of Anxi gritted his teeth, summoned up the ruthlessness in his heart, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

"Goo...... Gollum ......"

"Okay, good, the duke is really happy, I didn't pick the wrong person."

Looking at Duke Anxi's generous and righteous movements, the black-robed elder nodded with a smile.

Duke Anxi, who had his eyes closed tightly and almost couldn't hold back his tears, felt a warm sensation in his lower abdomen at this time.

The warmth was different from what he usually felt when he drank Tiger Whip wine, and the place where the warmth came from seemed closer to the place below his lower abdomen...... Hara?

"This ......"

The Duke of Anxi felt that his cultivation, which had not advanced for many years, seemed to have loosened at this moment, and was climbing slowly but firmly.

"Hey, I said that I want to give you a splash of wealth."

"There are even secret medicines that are not available in the Heavenly Soul Palace, but there are a lot of them here in this seat, which can feed you to your heart's content."

"In the future, you will listen to our arrangement to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and while cultivating to achieve success, you will have three palaces and six courtyards, and you will have a hundred years more time than mortals to enjoy glory and wealth. That taste, tsk...... Even this seat is envious. ”

Three Palaces and Six Courtyards...... The Duke of Anxi's stagnant thinking due to the sudden breakthrough in his cultivation came back to his senses as soon as he thought of another question because of this word:

What about my wife?

Seeing that his wife, daughter, and mother were still safe and sound, Duke Anxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said tentatively:

"This ...... My lord, since we are already our own people, do you see if my family is ......?"

The lady of the Duke's Mansion was in tears at this time, they couldn't figure out the reason for the flying disaster that happened to the whole family today, and they couldn't stop feeling distressed when they saw their husband and father so begging for the gangsters.

The black-robed elder snorted, turned his hand behind his back and turned to look in the direction of Madame and Miss.

"When we invited Ling Yuan here just now, she also released the martial spirit to resist our people, this temperament is really fierce."

When the duke's daughter heard this, her eyes were dyed with a thick layer of panic, and she grabbed her mother's sleeve and shook her head repeatedly.

The guards sent by the royal family were dragged into the courtyard like dead dogs, she had just seen with her own eyes, if she had known that this group of gangsters was so strong, where would she resist in vain?

"However, a little bit of character can make great things, and this seat likes this."

After a sly laugh, the black-robed elder walked up to the Duke's daughter and said slowly:

"In this case, you will be a disciple of this seat in the future, and after you have six rings, you will be promoted to a personal disciple."

"Go, say goodbye to your father, and follow this seat in the future to cultivate hard and not slack off."

Hearing the words of the black-robed old man, the duke's daughter couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and the Duke of Anxi almost knelt down directly.

"My lord, no, no! If the little girl is found to be missing, it will inevitably make people suspicious, and I am afraid that it will affect your arrangement......"

"What? Can't trust this seat so much? Or do you want to snatch your beloved disciple? ”

The black-robed old man squinted, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The Heavenly Soul Empire's method of refining medicine is just child's play, the kind of medicine that will kill you if you don't take it every few days, this seat doesn't want to use it on your family at all." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's all up to adults."

Nodding with satisfaction, the black-robed old man said: "Lord Duke, the medicine you take for men on weekdays, and it is just easy for me to refine something similar to what I eat for women. ”

"If you don't want your wife and daughter to become adulteresses, you know what to do, I don't need to say more."

"Don't let me down, I'm waiting to see the day you are crowned."

"Today, we will retire first, and look forward to seeing you again in the Sun and Moon Empire next time."

"You female doll, what are you waiting for if you don't hurry up and follow as a teacher? Would you like to bring your mother along for donburri? ”

The duke's daughter cried and followed under the sad and desperate gaze of her parents, and was covered in a black robe when she left.

When those black-robed people left the Duke's Mansion for a long time, the Duke of Anxi, who was sitting on the ground, slowly stood up tremblingly and slowly with the support of his wife.

"Ying'er...... I'm sorry for you for the Father! I'm sorry for you! ”

The duchess and duchess hugged their heads and cried uncontrollably, and the black-robed man who was responsible for the safety of the duke who stayed behind had already changed into the robes that originally belonged to the royal guards, and when he saw them like this, he tilted his head and said in confusion:

"What do you two have to cry about? This is a blessing for the daughter, the elder does not disdain to coax people of your level, if she says that she is seriously taught, then she will be taught seriously, and the next time we meet, maybe she will be higher than the Duke and your cultivation. ”

Hearing this, Duke Anxi's shoulders couldn't help but shake twice, and asked in a trembling voice, "You guys...... Is the only meaning of your life to be practiced? Aside from that cultivation, aren't there any other important things in your life? ”

The new guard thought about it with his usually inactive mind, and replied earnestly to his new master's house:

"Other brothers and sisters may have their own pursuits, but my pursuit is relatively pure, except for cultivation and women, I can't think of anything that interests me."

"Oh...... The elder taught me that if you want to get along with people, you have to know how to empathize, do you mean that you want to find a man for Ling Qianjin? This is easy to say, I will talk to the elders, and ensure that there are as many as you want, and you can have whatever you want. ”

"Enough!"

The fear of being dominated gradually receded from his heart, and the Duke of Anthy roared boldly under impulse.

But seeing that the "guard" beside him did not look like a serious person, he hurriedly put his arms around his wife's shoulders and protected her in his arms.

"You don't have to be ......," the new guard pouted.

"We are trustworthy, we will kill the whole family if we say we kill the whole family, and if we say that we will protect your safety, we will keep your whole family safe and sound."

The probe glanced at the Duchess, who was cowering in her husband's arms, and he smiled:

"You are also my mistress now, you can rest assured, under my protection, no man will be able to enter your room in the future, except for the Duke."

The Duchess's eyes widened when she heard this, and her pupils were filled with fear mixed with disbelief, and her body trembled even more violently; Seeing this, the Duke of Anxi, who felt sorry for his wife, hurriedly patted his wife's back and kept saying words to appease.

But the Duke of Anthy could not see the gaze of the lady at this time, she resisted the desire to avoid it in her heart, and looked at the young man in front of her, as if she wanted to read some hint from it.

But the latter only patted his chest quite proudly, so that the Duchess could not read whether the other party had just said something.

When the barely visible crescent moon in the sky slowly set, and a hazy trace of morning white appeared at the end of the sky, in a forest more than a hundred miles away from the Duke's Palace, groups of soul masters who had shed their black robes and completed the negotiation task with their respective subjects last night gathered at the predetermined place.

"It seems that this mission has indeed been completed well, and no one is missing...... Yo, how many more people are there? An old man with a fat figure asked with a smile.

"Encountered a hard idea, and the proud disciples who killed the old man didn't dare to let go and blow them up, and they lost a few corpse slaves in a desperate fight. No, you're planning to compensate my apprentice for refining him? The old man in the hat dragged the man next to him with a sack on his head, like a walking corpse, and said coldly.

"Hmph, even your apprentice's one-time corpse slave is embarrassed to blow? It's better to go to Taobao Bei in this palace and catch a person with good qualifications and go back to be a medicine slave. ”

The old man laughed a few times when he heard this, and then looked at the duke's daughter with tears in the corners of his eyes, and the old man beside her who couldn't see any superfluous expressions, his eyes lit up and he laughed:

"Second master, are you bringing new high-quality goods to the Xishui Alliance?"

"Haha, then the quality is really quite good, the methods of the second elder are obvious to all, and the brothers will definitely try it when the time comes."

"Hmph, get away from the old man." Nangong Wan snorted coldly angrily.

"This is the old man's newly acquired disciples, don't confuse it with those who are thrown out to sell at the bottom. Whoever dares to harass the disciples of this seat, this seat will chop up his thing and make wine for others. ”

"You...... That's it? Your disciple? ”

Just caught a medicine slave, the bewitching woman who was in a good mood had a bit of a different color in her eyes when she heard the words.

"This qualification is disliked by the big guys to be a dog, and it deserves to be favored by you?"

"Heh, so this seat can operate the Xishui Alliance for the Holy Sect, but you can only engage in that crooked and evil way, and you can't even understand the medicine." Nangong Bowl stabbed without being salty.

"Second master, you ...... Could it be that he was taken by the two saints, in a hurry? Then you can't be hungry and eat, isn't there anything stronger than this waste in the Xishui Alliance? ”

Looking at the girl, it is estimated that she is about twenty years old, and the cultivation of the four rings is recognizable at a glance, this speed can be regarded as a failure by the standards of the Holy Spirit Sect, let alone being "promoted" by the second elder.

The duke's daughter listened to the words of the tiger and wolf of this group of people, and even if she reacted slowly, she understood that she had fallen into the evil soul master's den now.

Tears rolled down like broken pearls again, and she didn't expect to be free again, she just hoped that there would be a happy way to die, and not be thrown out to sell or be a dog like those people said.

To this day, she has been living a life of pampering, fine clothes and fine food, and she can't bear those hardships.

And, hopefully, this group of people will let her parents go after they have achieved their goal.

"If you don't know how to appreciate and carve beautiful jade, don't make a big fuss, even if it is for the sake of her father's face, the old man will teach her well, so that her father can cooperate with the Holy Sect with peace of mind."

Nangong Wan said kindly and kindly: "Ying'er, among us people, you are the most noble golden branch and jade leaf, why don't you introduce yourself to everyone?" ”

…………

Mingdu, somewhere Huo Yuhao has come to camp here in the underground laboratory recently.

Jing Hongchen looked at the "finished products" introduced to him one by one by the researchers in front of him, and shock and ecstasy continued to intertwine in his eyes.

He had long been prepared to spend a lot of money on Huo Yuhao's practice and wait for a few years to produce results, anyway, he was not in a hurry.

I didn't expect ...... This first round of "soul" experiments gave him a huge surprise.

The first round of preliminary feasibility verification experiments did not use expensive thousand-year-old soul beasts, and all the "human-beast matching" was successful.

There was no problem with the fusion of martial souls and soul beasts, and there were even strange things like "White Five Rings" inadvertently.

Except for some volunteers, who were too weak to be physically weak, they either died or went crazy after the experiment of "ascending three rings in a row" by slamming the pill without any regard for the safety of their lives, everything was unbelievably perfect.

Of course, their sacrifice was also rewarding - at least Huo Yuhao successfully verified that "a hundred-year soul can indeed only provide two soul rings".

"Good, good, you guys are doing well! If you have any needs in the future, you can put forward them today! ”

"By the way, what do you do with those mentally disturbed volunteers?"

Huo Yuhao arched his hand to Jing Hongchen, who was also wearing a mask and a white coat, and replied:

"Temporarily imprisoned."

"When the soul's subsequent experiments are all completed and the soul is made public, I will keep my promise to spare their lives...... However, it is impossible for them to be released directly, so I found them a psychiatric hospital, and after the abolition of the cultivation, I will send them to spend their old age in peace. ”
