The imperial edict for investiture sank into Xu Changshi's body. Unlike the previous time with the Master of the Underworld-Flaying Mountain, Xu Changshi was in terrible condition this time. He had been beaten to the verge of having his soul scattered, and without offering much resistance at all, he became a nether soldier.
Feeling the changes within his body—feeling as though an invisible thread linked him to some mysterious entity in the void, and feeling the gaze of the person before him subtly become too terrifying to meet directly, as if an intangible might were pressing down upon him so heavily that he could barely breathe—Xu Changshi wore a dazed expression on his face. When his subordinates saw this, though they had no idea what had just happened, their expressions gradually turned ashen.
Chen Lingling chuckled. "Calmed down now? Noticed the changes in your body? You had better listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you, and don't miss a single word."
