Chapter 448 The Art of Soul Control, Forever My Slave
With lightning speed, just as the two attacks were about to strike, Shen Rugo's figure flickered, as if blending into the surrounding environment and disappearing from sight.
The two Golden Core cultivators felt the scene before them suddenly change. They were no longer in a valley, but had fallen into a misty forest, and heard all sorts of strange roars in their ears!
"A formation? It's an illusion formation!"
The two were shocked, realizing that their opponent had already laid a trap for them!
They attacked with all their might, unleashing their most powerful divine abilities, hoping to break the formation as soon as possible.
But what terrified them was that all their attacks were like throwing mud into the sea; the illusion array remained completely still.
Instead, a small, bald chicken figure would occasionally appear in the mist, spitting out a few mouthfuls of flame at them, causing their protective aura to crackle and leaving them in a sorry state.
Even though they were already at the Golden Core stage, they couldn't stop the flames from burning them. Almost every flame burned through their bodies, even burning holes in their bones.
However, the little bald chicken didn't seem to want to kill them, only burning their limbs and not attacking their vital parts.
What is this bald chicken?
"How could this be?"
"Could it be that you are not at the Foundation Establishment stage at all, but rather a powerful formation master?"
The two people dodged in terror while screaming.
Even those who have lived for hundreds of years cannot tell what species this bald chicken is.
But this bald chicken definitely possesses the strength of the late or peak Golden Core stage, far surpassing them.
This person possesses such a spiritual pet, which undoubtedly indicates that he is not merely at the Foundation Establishment stage as he appears.
Little did they know that their shouts only enraged Zhao Cai, who then unleashed two more bursts of flame, burning their shoulder blades.
The two men were instantly heartbroken. They rolled on the ground, wailing, "Please, spare us! Senior, we were wrong. We shouldn't have listened to Boss Qian and tried to rob you. It was all his idea. Please, spare us!"
They knew they had truly met their match!
Shen Rugo's voice then came from all directions, "With your meager skills, you dare to kill and rob? How laughable!"
Too lazy to waste time with them, she manipulated the formation to condense several powerful spiritual energy chains, easily binding the two of them tightly and sealing their cultivation.
Seeing the two Golden Core cultivators lying on the ground like dead dogs, Shen Rugo squatted down and patted one of their faces: "Tell me, how do you want me to punish you now?"
The two had already broken down and, without Shen Rugo's questioning, confessed with tears streaming down their faces.
Shen Rugo originally wanted Zhao Cai to burn them down, but then she had an idea.
These two guys are from Wanbaoge. They are skilled in business and their cultivation is also quite good. If they could be recruited to her side, wouldn't it be perfect for helping her sell communication talismans, or even secretly forming her own chamber of commerce?
So she said coldly, "I can spare your lives. But you must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, acknowledge me as your master, offer a wisp of your life's divine soul, and never betray me for the rest of your lives!"
Otherwise, both body and soul will perish!
Upon hearing this, the two men turned ashen-faced.
If you make a vow to Heaven and offer up your soul, then your life and death will truly be in the hands of others!
Undeterred, the two tried to plead further, but then they saw another ball of flame spewing from Zhao Cai's mouth and floating in front of them. Without hesitation, they exchanged a glance and quickly made a heavenly oath. Then, they carefully separated a wisp of their natal soul and let it float in front of Shen Rugo.
The method of controlling the soul is recorded in the Star Palace Secret Realm, and Shen Rugo has already learned it.
With a casual gesture, she absorbed the two wisps of divine soul into her own.
Those two wisps of divine souls, like servants, dwelt in a corner of her soul sea.
Almost instantly, Shen Rugo felt that she had firmly controlled the souls of the two people. If she wanted, she could destroy their souls with a single thought.
Feeling intrigued, Shen Rugo couldn't help but have a slight thought.
The two men's faces changed drastically, and they knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly: "Please, Master, have mercy and spare us!"
Wow, that's amazing!
Shen Rugo quickly relaxed her punishment on the two, but they were still trembling and knelt on the ground, not daring to get up.
"Alright, get up now. As long as you listen to me, I won't punish you!"
Shen Rugo chuckled.
Zhao Cai, perched on her shoulder, rolled its eyes. This little master was really too mean.
After the two stood up, they stood respectfully with their hands at their sides, looking completely lost and dejected.
Shen Rugo no longer hid her identity and revealed it.
The two were even more shocked. It turned out that this was Shen Rugo, the one whom the Qingyuan Sect Master hated so much that he gritted his teeth!
The story of Burial Valley had already spread throughout the entire Tianyuan Continent.
Shen Rugo instructed them to secretly establish a chamber of commerce in the Western Regions, tentatively named "Star Pavilion," starting with the sale of communication talismans and gradually expanding their business. She also gave them a batch of communication talismans.
She ordered the two to keep everything secret and not to reveal their relationship with her for the time being. They were to contact her using a sound transmission talisman if needed. Then she leaped onto the flying magic weapon, the Flowing Light Shuttle, and disappeared like a shooting star.
The two stared at Shen Rugo as she disappeared, momentarily stunned.
"Your Highness, why not establish a long-term partnership with Wanbaoge? That would bring in so much money so quickly!"
Zhao Cai complained.
While familiarizing herself with controlling the Flowing Light Shuttle, Shen Rugo shook her head and said, "Relying on others is ultimately unreliable. I need to establish my own chamber of commerce to control everything and feel more at ease."
With this successful experience, Shen Rugo's confidence increased greatly.
After that, whenever she passed through a major city for cultivation trading, she would investigate the largest merchant guild in the area, and then repeat her old tricks, either by auctioning or by directly contacting the merchant guild to sell large quantities of communication talismans, making a fortune every time.
Her wealth grew rapidly, like a snowball rolling downhill.
However, her frequent sale of communication talismans eventually attracted the attention of the Wanbaoge headquarters.
The higher-ups of the association took a great interest in this "wandering hermit" who could provide a large number of ancient transmission talismans and ordered them to keep a close eye on him.
On this day, Shen Rugo piloted the Flowing Light Shuttle to a large city in the Western Regions called Black Rock City.
She had accumulated another five hundred communication talismans, preparing to make another fortune here.
But as soon as she settled into the best inn in the city, Zhao Cai warned her warily, "Your Highness, someone is following us! Their auras are very strong, both at the Nascent Soul stage, one in the early stage and the other in the middle stage!"
Shen Rugo quietly scanned the area with her divine sense and indeed discovered two obscure auras lingering outside the inn.
She quickly realized that she was being targeted, and the only organization capable of sending two Nascent Soul cultivators at once was undoubtedly Wanbaoge.
"A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to plot against me?"
Shen Rugo sneered inwardly.
With her current cultivation level, endless runes and array techniques, plus the greatly increased power of Zhao Cai, dealing with two Nascent Soul cultivators would be a piece of cake.
She pretended not to know, but secretly set up a complex formation combining illusion and trapping arrays in the guest room, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Sure enough, late at night, the two Nascent Soul cultivators quietly sneaked into her room.
As soon as they entered the room, the scene before them changed abruptly. It was no longer a guest room, but a raging sea of fire, with countless chains of flames wrapping around them from all directions!
"No! There's an ambush!"
The two were shocked and instantly unleashed a powerful attack in an attempt to break through the formation.
