Chapter 287: Covenant of Soul and Spirit

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chen Fan was not afraid of the Loong family going back on their word.

The difference between humans and beasts were a sense of dignity and respect. The loong family had been jumping up and down, challenging him because they didn’t quite understand his power. However, after seeing Chen Fan’s ability first hand, and knowing that whatever they did would not affect Chen Fan, they would behave obediently like Chen Fan’s lap dog.

However, Kunloon was a different story.

Kunloon was one of the four deadliest Gong Tau masters, a Perfected Cultivator at the peak of the Dharma Cultivation. He was even slightly more powerful than Chen Fan when he was still in the early-stage of Ethereal Enlightenment level. Such a mighty figure might have treated Chen Fan with respect now after he had recovered and regained his Pupil Art, he would seek to harm Chen Fan again.

After all, Kunloon had dominated Northern Thailand for many years. He sat in the seat of power in Chiang Mai and projected his power to the entire Thailand. Many warlords of northern Thailand were his disciples. If he was go back to Thailand, he would reconnect with the military that supported him, he would quickly throw his respect and fear toward Chen Fan out of the window. He might have thought that Chen Fan was an Immortal State cultivator, but he might backtrack later and regret the fact that he had surrendered so quickly.

However, Chen Fan had mastered the art of manipulating powerful cultivators during his past life’s cultivation.

When he had the run-in with the Lu family, he was only at the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment level. He had to kill Lu Tianfen since he lacked the means of controlling a Grandmaster at that time. However, now Chen Fan had already reached the Ethereal Enlightenment and had many Divine powers at his disposal.

On Earth, even a Grandmaster was a rare sight much less a Perfected Cultivator. Therefore, Chen Fan didn’t want to outright kill him, instead, he sought to placate and enlist him as his a.s.sistant.

Chen Fan called out his name.

“Kunloon.”

“Yes, Master.” Kunloon came up to Chen Fan and bowed deeply.

“Since you wish to become my disciple, and serve me, I have to warn you about my rules.” Chen Beixuan sat stately on a high chair as awe-inspiring energy generated from his majestic demeanor making him look like a G.o.d.

“I would love to hear the rules of Immortal Master Chen.”

Kunloon s.h.i.+vered a little as a sense of foreboding rose inside of him.

He had been using his obedience as a ruse to lower Chen Fan’s guard. However powerful Chen Fan was, he was just a young man and lacked the shrewdness and meticulousness in his calculation. Like all young man, he must love complements and Kunloon hoped to capitalize on that. He hoped that Chen Fan would one day release him back to Thailand after his ego was bloated enough.

Kunloon had risen to power a few decades ago, and therefore would not be satisfied with forever being a servant.

“If you wish to serve me, you have to give me your life.”

Chen Fan said slowly.

“Give you my life?”

Everyone quickly understood what Chen Fan meant. He wanted to turn the old man into his slave and Chen Fan would have the right to dictate his life or death.

“I understand.”

Kunloon plastered on a calm face and then replied.

However, deep down, he had already made up his mind to run away to Thailand as soon as he got the chance and never set foot in Hong Kong ever again. If Chen Fan even went to Chiang Mai to look for him, he would have the support of an army a thousand strong. Even an Immortal State cultivator was no match against a modern army.

“Let’s seal the deal then.”

Chen Fan rose to his feet abruptly.

Everyone watched as he formed a Dharma Seal in the air and drove his True Essence into the seal to form a True Essence. In the Void Dimension, countless rays of azure symbols appeared and they converged toward each other. In the end, they formed a complicated web of True Essence that emanated primordial energy.

“Go”

Chen Fan pointed a finger at Kunloon and the azure-colored talisman turned into a light and lanced into Kunloon’s body.

“What is that?”

Kunloon’s face darkened and was not sure what had happened to him. However, he felt a strong sense of foreboding rise up in his heart and his sixth sense screamed at him about the danger of the Talisman Inscription.

“This is the Covenant of Soul and Spirit, it bound your soul and spirit to our deal. From today onward, if you disobey me, I can destroy your physical body and soul with a thought regardless of how far away you are.” Chen Fan said in an icy voice.

“What?”

Kunloon panicked. He charged up his energy and started to search inside of his soul energy; it wasn’t long before he noticed that something wasn’t quite right. Since he was blind and used only his Mind Eye, he was very sensitive to the presence of Soul Energy. He registered a layer of azure light that suffused over his soul. This layer of glowing energy seemed benign, but it would be deadly once charged up.
