Inside the grand hall, it was somewhat dim,

Gu Zhan, in a black robe, expressionless, slowly emerged from the darkness, step by step approaching Emperor Song, who was seated on the dragon throne.

At this moment, Emperor Song was trembling all over, his face instantly turning pale, his whole heart seemingly gripped by a hand making it extremely difficult to breathe. He frantically glanced at the little servant below, only to find that the servant showed no reaction or emotion whatsoever.

As a Golden Core Cultivator from a veteran top-tier power, the moment he saw that little servant, he had a guess in his heart. The servant's reaction was entirely that of being under soul control, and in that instant, he felt a bone-chilling sensation all over.

This method of controlling the soul is not very common in the Cultivation Realm, but it's also not particularly rare. Still, it's extremely difficult and much rejected by the Righteous Dao because it's too dark, either ripping the soul apart directly or refining a living person into a puppet.

However, what caused Emperor Song the most horror was that the little servant was his junior brother, also at the Golden Core stage, yet under Gu Zhan's means, had no resistance whatsoever.

This soul control magic technique has particularly high requirements; it's extremely difficult to cultivate. Most only use it as an attack method, and to so easily control a Golden Core Cultivator either requires absolute power or great expertise in soul magic techniques.

And now he was filled with despair.

If it's absolute power, he is doomed, and if it's a profound soul magic technique, with the sinister tricks of the soul, he has even less chance. This would be bearable, but what brings him the most despair is that he cannot imagine what will happen if he becomes a puppet.

Closer,

getting closer,

as Gu Zhan got closer, Emperor Song's fear grew heavier. A high-tier Golden Core expert, yet he couldn't muster any courage to resist, trembling all over as if he was about to become a sieve.

As Gu Zhan approached, driven by fear from the depths of his soul, Emperor Song suddenly stood up, trembling, and stammered: "Gu... Gu... No, Your Majesty the Martial Emperor... I... I..."

Emperor Song was trembling,

but Gu Zhan did not spare him a glance, directly sitting on the dragon throne. A terrifying aura descended, an absolutely domineering aura that scorned all beings under heaven. He released no cultivation, just sat there, as if he were the sovereign of life and death of all creatures!

"Tap..."

Gu Zhan draped his arm over the dragon throne, his fingers lightly tapping, producing a subtle sound, yet distinctly clear in the vast hall.

With a "thud," Emperor Song was utterly terrified, breaking through his last mental defenses and collapsing to his knees in fear, saying, "Martial Emperor... I... I... I..."

Gu Zhan leaned slightly, looking at Emperor Song who knelt on the ground, and said blandly: "My question, you haven't answered. Should your life and destiny be under my control?"

"Ah..." Emperor Song trembled, cold sweat streaming down him, stammering, "No... Ah, yes, yes, yes... No..."

"Hmm?" Gu Zhan slightly raised an eyelid.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Emperor Song hastily replied: "Yes, yes, yes, my life and destiny... are under Your Majesty the Martial Emperor's control..."

"Heh," Gu Zhan chuckled lightly, saying: "Since that's the case, then I shall control it!"

As soon as he finished these words,

Emperor Song suddenly stiffened, and the next moment, he stopped trembling, the fear on his face instantly disappearing replaced with an extremely calm demeanor, slowly raising his head, looking at Gu Zhan with eyes full of devotion and reverence, an expression of worship as if looking at a deity, fervent and intense.

Gu Zhan looked at Emperor Song and smiled slightly,

His power completely overwhelmed Emperor Song, and his soul control methods were at a mastery stage. Previously in the Jin Kingdom, he slaughtered and controlled all along the way; below the Nascent Soul, almost no one could withstand him. In total, he controlled no fewer than thirty Golden Core Cultivators, with only two showing slight resistance, their souls ultimately torn apart.

Currently, as for Emperor Song, his cultivation was not that poor, being an Eighth Transformations Golden Core, but his willpower was very weak. He hadn't even used half his strength and had directly controlled his soul.

Gu Zhan looked at Emperor Song and slowly asked: "How is the strength of the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Giant Sword Sect?"

Emperor Song, very respectfully kneeling, said: "Reporting to your lordship, the Giant Sword Sect has three Nascent Soul cultivators, the Sect Master, the Sword Elder, and the Supreme Elder. Among them, Supreme Elder Mu Qingfeng broke through to the Nascent Soul Second Realm fifty years ago and is a Venerable, though he has always hidden his cultivation and not publicized it. He is skilled in swordsmanship and possesses a very powerful Divine Sword obtained from Shushan, as well as a Sword Array inherited from Shushan, led by three cultivators with Golden Core cultivators assisting. It is said to resist a Great Sect Leader of the Nascent Soul Third Realm!"

Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Cultivation Realm are divided into three tiers, according to cultivation realms known as Elder, Venerable, and Great Sect Leader.

Gu Zhan pondered for a moment, then asked: "What about the other two top-tier sects?"

Emperor Song respectfully replied: "One is the Feixian Sect, and the other is the Celestial Feather Sect. Both have a Nascent Soul Ancestor, with strength at the Nascent Soul First Realm. The Nascent Soul cultivators of these two sects are already quite old, with not much lifespan left, and their strength has already begun to decline."
