My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

Chapter 593: Chapter 566: Submission and Cooperation
“The leader of the Lingjia Clan is pretty tough,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

At this moment, the Mortal Kingdom was surrounded by millions of puppets sent by Xu Fan.

Even a fly couldn’t escape from the sky or the ground.

Above the Mortal Kingdom, there was a Sky Base Satellite, which was a part of the Abstinence Gathering Spirit Array.

“There is a saying in the Cultivation World: respect the wine or face punishment. It seems you haven’t understood the meaning of this sentence,” the leader of the puppets coldly said.

“You have the ability to turn us into demon slaves, but before we become demon slaves, I will bring the whole Mortal Kingdom down with us,” a ruthless look flashed across the man in silver armor’s face.

At this moment, countless rays of light shot up from the boundary of the Mortal Kingdom, forming a space that blocked the flow of Spiritual Qi.

“You no longer have a chance.”

As soon as the puppet leader finished speaking, the Abstinence Gathering Spirit Array in the sky was activated.

Immediately, a large amount of Spiritual Qi was drawn away from the Mortal Kingdom where the Lingjia Clan was.

At the same time, a mysterious sound rang in the sky, like a celestial maiden singing or the Heavenly Dao’s melody.

As soon as the trapped Lingjia Clan tried to resist, they were confused by the sound and turned into an armored state, extremely tough and indestructible.

“You Lingjia Clan members should’ve found a strong thigh to cling to. This is simply courting death,” Xu Fan said with a smile, watching the light curtain.

Ever since he saw the Lingjia Clan members who were like slimes, he had known the advantages and disadvantages of this clan.

The advantage was the Lingjia Clan’s incredibly strong defense, whether it was against magic attacks or physical attacks.

Moreover, the divine abilities of the clan were also related to defense.

The disadvantage was that they had a weaker resistance to spells that could confuse minds. As soon as their minds were unclear, they would turn into a hard, indestructible armor.

“With your minds unclear, I’ll drain all your Spiritual Qi. Then you’ll obediently turn into jelly,” Xu Fan said, looking at the light curtain.

“Hidden Spirit Sect, you underestimate our Lingjia Clan. We have long been prepared for the methods of defensive enchantments.”

“Our clan’s shortcomings are already a matter of a few hundred years ago.”

Just as the man in silver armor was feeling proud, he suddenly sensed something wrong. He found his body gradually softening, and the Spiritual Qi inside his body was being consumed at an extremely fast rate.

He couldn’t even finish speaking before he had turned into a pool of viscous liquid that rolled off the middle-aged man’s body.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Lingjia Clan members in the Mortal Kingdom had all turned into jelly.

“Let’s keep them here for now. If they don’t submit, I’ll have to brainwash them,” Xu Fan said.

He was somewhat fond of the various actions the clan had taken since arriving in the Human Realm.

Even though they had attached themselves to mortals with Spiritual Roots, they hadn’t controlled their minds, and lived in peace with them.

“Understood,” Pu Tao replied.

Three days later, a mass of silver jelly-like substance appeared in front of Xu Fan.

“Have you thought about it? Submitting to our Hidden Spirit Sect has great benefits,” Xu Fan looked at the silver jelly on the ground, who was unwilling to move, and said.

“I’ve said before, our Lingjia Clan will never submit to other races or strong individuals in this lifetime,” a face appeared on the silver jelly, speaking with excitement.

“Spirit is something that only passes down when people sing praises. Your bloodline will be wiped out by me, and except for me knowing, who else would know?” Xu Fan laughed.

“In any case, our clan will never submit to the Human Clan,” the silver jelly said stubbornly.

“I’ve already looked through your clan’s innate divine abilities.”

“To be honest, your clan’s talent is very strong, but these innate cultivation techniques and divine abilities are really dragging your Lingjia Clan down.”

Xu Fan leisurely sat in a lounge chair, appreciating the Bear No.2 or Cloud in the sky while eating various snacks. This was his most comfortable state.

“I quite appreciate your clan. I’ll give your clan a chance to cooperate with our Hidden Spirit Sect. What do you think?”

The silver jelly was about to speak but was interrupted by Xu Fan.

“As a gesture of cooperation, I’ll help your clan optimize your cultivation techniques and divine abilities, and provide basic welfare.”

A light curtain appeared in front of the silver jelly.

“Large-scale Gathering Array, Basic Attached Puppets, Treasure Trading Privileges, Top-grade Five Elements Resources…”

The silver jelly gradually became tempted as it looked at the various welfare plans and responsibilities in the light curtain.

But in the end, it realized that these conditions were the same as the submission conditions it was given before, and felt deceived.

“What’s the difference between this and the submission conditions you gave before? And these conditions are even worse than last time!” the silver jelly felt cheated.

“The difference is huge. Submission has become cooperation, and our relationship is now equal.”

Xu Fan pointed at the silver jelly, then at himself, and finally drew an equal sign in the air.

“I don’t see any difference,” the silver jelly said.

“At least it sounds better. Just like the two Great Clans who submitted to our Clan, the Moonlight Rabbit Clan and Wind Blue Rain Swans Clan, they are all affiliated clans.”

“But you are a demon clan cooperating with our Hidden Spirit Sect. Apart from not being able to run too far, everything else is quite free,” Xu Fan leisurely spoke.

He had seen too many stubborn people in his life. If he could persuade them, he would. If not, he’d move on to the next one.

“The word ‘cooperation’ represents freedom and also means that the spirit of your bloodline can continue to pass down.”

With these words, Xu Fan touched the core of the silver jelly.

“You should think it through. I don’t have much patience for a minor power like you that doesn’t even have a Demon Venerable.”

“If you miss this opportunity, you will only make your entire bloodline become demon slaves.”

Lying on the lounge chair, Xu Fan turned his head and glanced at the silver jelly indifferently.

He was in a good mood today, so he came out to persuade the silver jelly himself.

The silver jelly didn’t speak but only curled its body into a standard sphere.

After a long while, a sound came out from the standard silver sphere.

“The conditions you laid down; I request that you swear a Heavenly Dao Oath. Only then will our clan cooperate with you.”

The silver sphere turned back into a puddle of silver jelly.

“That’s acceptable. Cooperation is mutual, and you’ll have to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath as well,” Xu Fan laughed as he picked up a grape-like spiritual fruit and put it in his mouth.

“Alright, our clan will cooperate with you,” the silver jelly said.

When they learned about the existence of the Hidden Spirit Sect, the clan had thought about relocating their entire clan. However, they were reluctant to part with the human companions they had cultivated for so long.

It was during their hesitation that Xu Yuexian discovered them, leading to the current situation.

“That’s more like it. Not every demon clan can cooperate with our Hidden Spirit Sect,” Xu Fan said, taking out a Nascent Soul Stage Puppet.

“This is a gift from me personally. I’ve made some minor adjustments according to the characteristics of your clan.”

“This puppet should be very suitable for your clan.”
