Among the spirit control techniques, the soul imprint is a relatively basic soul-related technique that, if operated correctly, will not cause any backlash.
This soul imprint will become a major trump card for Nancy to control the Hall of Light in the future, so Ye Cangtian chose to teach it to her at this time.
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian opened the heavenly eye between his brows, and two strands of spiritual power instantly shot towards the centers of Gui Wu and Nancy's brows.
In just an instant, a lot of information appeared in the minds of Gui Wu and Nancy. The two women subconsciously sat down cross-legged and closed their eyes.
On the other side, seeing that the two women were comprehending the techniques, Ye Cangtian no longer disturbed them and returned to his room to rest.
He brought the two women back to the villa solely to provide them with a quiet environment.
...
The sun rose again.
After a day and a night of contemplation, Gui Wu and Nancy opened their eyes again.
Sensing the awakening of the two women, Ye Cangtian immediately came to their side and asked, "Have you mastered it?"
Gui Wu and Nancy glanced at each other, then nodded.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian showed a satisfied smile and said, "Let's go, it's time for you to accompany me to the next place."
As the car sped along, Ye Cangtian brought Gui Wu and Nancy directly to Tian Zi Yi Hao.
The guards at Tian Zi Yi Hao, seeing Ye Cangtian arrive, quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Mr. Ye, may I ask why you are here this time?"
Ye Cangtian heard this and nodded, saying, "I want to interrogate the prisoners from the Hall of Light."
After giving his instructions, Ye Cangtian went to the interrogation room.
The next moment, an old man was brought into the interrogation room.
"This..."
Looking at the old man in front of her, Nancy was stunned on the spot. Although she had no interaction with the old man, she had long heard of his legend.
The old man was also a formidable figure in the inner hall of the Hall of Light, having trained many powerful individuals and holding high prestige within the inner hall.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that before betraying the Hall of Light, Nancy had wanted to become a disciple of his.
That's right, he was the third great enshrined elder of the Hall of Light, An Qiluo.
Seeing An Qiluo now, Nancy felt flustered.
"Ye Cangtian, are you here to see me today to let me go?"
On the other side, An Qiluo looked intently at Ye Cangtian and said grimly.
The reason he was willing to be imprisoned was because of Ye Cangtian's words, saying that he would one day be able to return to the Hall of Light.
Now that Ye Cangtian had come to see him, this was naturally the question he cared about the most.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "Letting you go is naturally not a problem, but you must agree to one condition."
"What condition?" An Qiluo frowned.
Ye Cangtian pointed to Nancy beside him and said, "This is the successor I have chosen for the Hall of Light. As long as you swear allegiance to her, you can leave anytime!"
"Uh..."
As soon as Ye Cangtian spoke, the first person to be dumbfounded was Nancy.
She finally understood the purpose of Ye Cangtian giving her the soul imprint – it was to increase her supporters and also to increase her trump cards.
After all, no one could betray after having a soul imprint planted on them, which was much more reliable than any agreement or contract.
However, as the other party was someone highly respected in her heart, someone she once admired, she felt unable to accept treating him this way.
"Hahaha..."
Just then, a scornful laugh echoed. An Qiluo stared fixedly at Ye Cangtian and said, "Ye Cangtian, the two sides have not yet decided the victor, and you are already daydreaming!"
Previously, from Ye Cangtian's words, he had heard that Ye Cangtian was going to make a big move against the Hall of Light.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that sentence, "When the Hall of Light is no longer the Hall of Light you know."
But it's only been a few days! Can Ye Cangtian destroy the Hall of Light?
He didn't believe it!
Furthermore, Ye Cangtian's ambition to hand over the Hall of Light to a novice traitor girl was simply wishful thinking.
Even if the Pope of the Hall of Light and the Holy Emissary Guāng Yù were killed, the people of the Hall of Light would not accept Nancy, who was a traitor.
And now he was being asked to pledge allegiance to Nancy, which was simply a huge joke.
Saying this, he turned to Nancy, his eyes filled with disdain, and said, "Nancy, do you think you are qualified to receive my allegiance?"
"I..."
Nancy instantly became nervous and somewhat at a loss. She had just been thinking about this question.
As far as she was concerned, An Qiluo was a senior respected elder, and in front of him, she was indeed just a little girl, and a traitor at that.
Compared like this, how could she be qualified to receive his allegiance?
"Hmph!"
Sensing Nancy's difficulty, Ye Cangtian let out a cold snort and slowly said, "An Qiluo, do you think you are still a high and mighty enshrined elder? You are merely a prisoner clinging to life!"
"You..."
An Qiluo pointed angrily at Ye Cangtian, his face instantly turning red, his chest rising and falling, but he couldn't utter a single word.
In the past, Nancy meant nothing in his eyes.
Especially after Nancy became a traitor, she held no weight in his heart.
But now, he, who was once high and mighty, had become someone else's prisoner. Not to mention his status, even his last shred of dignity was questionable.
After all, a prisoner was not much nobler than a traitor; it was merely a matter of whether they had betrayed or not.
On the other side, seeing An Qiluo fall silent, Ye Cangtian let out a cold smile and continued, "An Qiluo, I must also solemnly inform you, Nancy is not a traitor, but the Saintess of the Hall of Light!"
Ye Cangtian belittled An Qiluo's status and then elevated Nancy's.
It was also to reduce the status gap between the two and to dispel An Qiluo's sense of superiority.
"Hmph! Her, and she's worthy of being called a Saintess?"
"Besides, who among us doesn't know that this Saintess is just an empty title!"
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, An Qiluo immediately cast a disdainful glance and said slowly.
"An Qiluo, I think you have a prejudice against Nancy!"
"That's right, although Nancy is by my side, she has never done anything that betrays the Hall of Light."
"Furthermore, I must tell you that she is not a puppet I control to influence the Hall of Light!"
"The reason I support her in taking control of the Hall of Light is because I am tired of war and want to seek an opportunity for peaceful development for both sides!"
Ye Cangtian was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.
He knew that Nancy staying by his side was definitely the biggest point of contention in the other party's mind, so he had to resolve this knot for the other party to look at Nancy squarely.
As expected, upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, An Qiluo's eyebrows rose, and he fell silent again.
Ye Cangtian's words had indeed moved him.
The constant wars had made the Hall of Light outwardly strong but inwardly weak. In fact, given this situation, he did not support continuing the war with the Huaxia forces.
But he had no choice; Guāng Yù was insistent, and he could only obey.
Now that he heard Ye Cangtian's thoughts, he was indeed somewhat moved. The current Hall of Light needed rest and recuperation the most.
Thinking of this, An Qiluo looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "How can I prove that Nancy is not your puppet?"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian showed a faint smile and said, "After you pledge allegiance to Nancy, I will have her plant the soul imprint on you all, and then you will only be able to serve her."
Ye Cangtian's meaning was simple.
If Nancy were a puppet, he could have planted the soul imprint himself, in which case they would only be able to obey his commands.
But he chose to have Nancy complete it, which meant that Ye Cangtian could not influence the Hall of Light through them in the future.
"This..."
Listening to Ye Cangtian's words, An Qiluo's eyes rolled, and he soon understood the other party's meaning.
However, the soul imprint, as soon as he heard it, sounded like a form of restriction and bondage, and he was somewhat resistant.
Thinking about it, he said, "I do not accept this soul imprint, and I also believe that Nancy does not have the ability to take over the Hall of Light..."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "For you, as long as the Hall of Light prospers, it doesn't matter who is in charge, right? As for Nancy, I can guarantee that she will surely become a Heavenly-level expert in the future!
As for the soul imprint, Nancy's goal is to lead the Hall of Light to become stronger, which is the same as your goal. If you pledge allegiance to her and uphold this goal, the soul imprint will naturally not activate."
