Qin Beixuan is nothing to be trifled with.
He is Qin Beixuan, the ruler of the Bailu Mountain Chamber of Commerce, one of the four major Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital, and has close ties with high-ranking officials, powerful military generals, and members of the Royal Family.
His influence is terrifyingly vast.
Many talented youths, even geniuses from the Holy Sect, would treat him with utmost respect and try to curry favor with him!
Yet, facing the lofty demeanor of Lin Qiubai, Qin Beixuan, a pampered Nirvana Realm Expert, finds himself utterly lacking in confidence, like an ant.
The emotions and aura exuded by Lin Qiubai are too frightening!
"I beg you... I beg you..."
Qin Beixuan can only plead.
As he struggles like a flash of light returning, the chains tear at his wounds, causing Blood to drip recklessly along the chains.
The endless pain inflicted by the Seven Soul Nails gnaws at his mind, making Qin Beixuan's pleas increasingly sincere.
"I beg you to save me... I beg for your mercy..."
The stronger one is, the more they fear death.
Because standing at the top, enjoying supreme glory, wielding great power, living in luxury, and being revered by all—how could one willingly face death so easily?!
"The Seven Soul Nails, this vengeful curse, is very difficult to break.
For half a century, it has deeply rooted itself in your brain and even fused with your flesh and blood. If forcibly removed, the host will lose their sanity, if not their life..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Beixuan's face filled with despair, and his pupils dimmed at a visible speed.
It seems that this young man, despite his extensive knowledge, had no solutions.
He took a deep breath and quieted himself.
This was a scheme that Qin Po had planned for half a century, taking nearly fifty years to succeed.
If it were to be easily extracted and destroyed,
then Lin Qiubai would truly be an outrageous force to be reckoned with!
"However... while others may struggle against it, in front of me, the Seven Soul Nails are truly nothing to worry about."
"Seven Soul Nails are just a minor technique."
Lin Qiubai possessed the Demon Wugui, which is a Heavenly Insect; in the Three Thousand Great Realms, countless types of Gu are merely insignificant clowns.
Moreover, the quality of these Seven Soul Nails is at most at the Divine Gu level.
The Demon Wugui can easily suppress them.
Upon hearing this, Qin Beixuan's eyes brightened once again.
If possible, he would wish for eternal life to enjoy this wealth and glory; even if he couldn't live forever, he wanted to enjoy a few more years!
How could he easily let go of life?!
"I beg you to save me. I am willing to be your servant, to be your dog, biting whoever you point at!"
"Is that so?"
Lin Qiubai nodded and formed several seals.
He slapped them all onto Qin Beixuan's forehead.
At the same time, Demon Wugui emitted a hint of threatening intent, causing the Seven Soul Nails lurking in Qin Beixuan's mind to tremble violently.
They slowly emerged from the center of Qin Beixuan's brow.
The white, worm-like creatures were no larger than a hair, adorned with segmented golden ring patterns that glimmered ominously, looking quite sinister.
Seeing this, Qin Beixuan trembled all over, filled with excitement.
"What are you so excited about? From now on, I will control this curse. From this moment forward, you, Qin Beixuan, will be my dog.
Your life and death, your honor and disgrace, are all at my command. However, before you regain your strength, you need to cooperate with Qin Poxu and the others."
Lin Qiubai sneered; did he really think he was some kind of saint here to save people for free?
Not a chance.
He tamed the Seven Soul Nails and drove them back into Qin Beixuan's brow.
Lin Qiubai was never a saint; he was merely a yellow sparrow.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
He was just benefiting from the fisherman’s gain.
Wasn't it amusing that Qin Po's fifty years of painstaking planning had all been turned into a wedding dress for Lin Qiubai?
Qin Beixuan felt a wave of icy comfort in his mind, as that bone-deep pain finally disappeared!
He couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
However, Lin Qiubai's words made the muscles in his face tense up, and his expression became extremely complicated.
The power over life and death had shifted from Qin Po to Lin Qiubai.
The essence remained unchanged.
He was still under someone else's control.
But compared to the previous heart-wrenching agony and unbearable suffering, this state was simply incomparably comfortable.
It should be noted that it was a pair of indifferent eyes that regarded even Nirvana Realm Experts as mere ants.
It was chilling!
Qin Beixuan had no doubt about Lin Qiubai's coldness and cruelty.
In Lin Qiubai's eyes, Qin Beixuan's death was no different from that of a dead dog.
So for Lin Qiubai to show mercy and save him was truly a stroke of supreme fortune accumulated over countless lifetimes!
Human nature is inherently base. It was precisely because Lin Qiubai's words and actions revealed such indifference and cruelty that Qin Beixuan understood how difficult it was to be saved.
Thus, he felt increasingly grateful towards Lin Qiubai.
If Lin Qiubai had acted as kindly as a saint, the current situation might have turned into the story of the farmer and the snake.
"Know your place."
Lin Qiubai glanced at Qin Beixuan, devoid of any emotion.
Leaving behind a deeply meaningful statement, he vanished into the Void.
Silently.
Not even leaving a trace.
"Thank you, benefactor. Thank you, my lord. I will surely repay this debt with my life..."
Qin Beixuan was exceedingly humble, excessively flattering...
...
A stick of incense later, Qin Po returned to the courtyard where Qin Beixuan was imprisoned.
His expression was dark, almost purple with anger.
When he saw that all sensory seals had been completely broken, his face changed dramatically.
He quickly communicated with the Seven Soul Nails using his mind.
Upon discovering that the Seven Soul Nails were intact, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To his surprise, the Seven Soul Nails had been successfully implanted and could now be manipulated at will over Qin Beixuan.
Since the task was accomplished, there was no need to resort to extreme measures to seal Qin Beixuan's cultivation anymore.
He needed to allow Qin Beixuan to recover from his injuries and return to his peak condition.
Then he would be ready to serve as a pawn in a shocking conspiracy, fully prepared!
Qin Po took out the key, unlocked the chains, and placed three bottles of Elixir by the bedside.
He patted Qin Beixuan's face.
"Big brother, I've finally turned you into my dog. How does it feel?
Recover well from your injuries and be obedient.
Help me control the entire Bailu Mountain Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise..."
Upon hearing this, veins bulged on Qin Beixuan's forehead, wishing he could swallow Qin Po alive.
Seeing this, Qin Po merely moved his finger, and Qin Beixuan's expression changed drastically as pain shot through him, causing blood to flow from his wounds.
He curled up on the jade bed, trembling.
"You are now just a dog for me, Qin Po! You will act according to my wishes! You will wag your tail and beg for mercy! If you defy me, I will make your life worse than death. Do you understand?!"
"I ask you if you understand?!"
Qin Po shouted sternly, pressing his finger against the tip of Qin Beixuan's nose.
Qin Beixuan's face was filled with humiliation, but he still gritted his teeth, spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and weakly nodded.
His acting was quite convincing.
Seeing this, Qin Po finally nodded in satisfaction and left the place.
He had to kill Lin Qiubai!
This boy was too slippery; he thought Lin Qiubai had escaped from the Chamber of Commerce. Little did he know that Lin Qiubai dared to sneak into the courtyard and interfere with Qin Beixuan's sensory seal.
"How bold!"
Qin Po gritted his teeth.
He had deeply memorized Lin Qiubai's appearance. As long as Lin Qiubai appeared in the Imperial Capital, he would be detected by his informants, and at that time, he would surely be able to kill him.
Of course, he also needed to conduct a thorough investigation within the entire Chamber of Commerce.
This was to prevent any hidden dangers and to ensure that Lin Qiubai could not take advantage of the situation.
However, Qin Po had no idea that no matter how many Guards he had, they were merely decorations in front of Lin Qiubai.
Unless a Nirvana Realm Expert personally intervened, it would be difficult to detect Lin Qiubai's fluctuations.
This was the level of mastery Lin Qiubai had over the Teleportation Array.
Seamless.
"Ding! Supreme Grade King-Level Martial Arts detected..."
