Chapter 973: Chapter 973: Bringing into the Fold

"Just because of you, you also want to lift Lord Black Devil’s restrictions? Truly a delusional daydream."

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at Lin Chen with a cold laugh, but did not stop Lin Chen’s actions any further.

After all, the restrictions Lin Chen wanted to remove were those set by Lord Black Devil, and Zhou Xiaoyun believed that Lin Chen would inevitably suffer the backlash from the restriction left within him by that lord, perhaps it would shatter his Divine Soul on the spot.

"Heh, relishing my death, are you?"

"Pity that I’ll have to disappoint you."

Lin Chen smiled faintly and immediately a pale yellow Flame shot out from the center of his forehead, instantly entering Zhou Xiaoyun’s body.

At once, the Divine Soul Restriction that had been implanted within Zhou Xiaoyun was lifted under the power of that Flame.

Buzz buzz buzz—

However, atop a dark tower millions of miles away from the crowd, the voice of an angry powerful black silhouette echoed through the sky at this moment.

Suddenly, the sky was overcast with thick clouds, completely turning dark and gloomy.

Lord Black Devil had never expected that among the disciples of Red Soul Hall, someone would have their restrictions removed.

Within Red Soul Hall, apart from the ten Blood Slaves, there were also his disciples, and some Martial Artists who Lord Black Devil had promoted, all carrying the Blood Slave Mark personally bestowed by Black Devil.

Yet now, someone’s Blood Slave Mark was unexpectedly destroyed.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Xiaoyun’s Talent was not bad, and Black Devil had initially planned to cultivate him into the next Blood Slave.

But unexpectedly, someone had broken the restrictions on him.

To Lord Black Devil, this meant that the person possessed a power that could suppress Lord Black Devil himself.

Indeed, Black Devil had already figured out that the one who destroyed his Blood Slave Mark was Lin Chen.

When Xue Yuanqing, one of the Blood Slaves, was killed last time, he began to investigate, and the result pointed to a youngster called Lin Chen.

Among the people who entered the Grey Marsh Plain Secret Realm this time, there just happened to be one named Lin Chen.

At this moment, when he thought of who Lin Chen was, and considering the restrictions he had left on Zhou Xiaoyun, Zhou Xiaoyun felt that it was impossible for Lin Chen to break that power.

However, Lin Chen actually did break it right then, which instantly caused Zhou Xiaoyun to feel a tightness in his Divine Soul, as the strong evil power dissipated in a moment.

Zhou Xiaoyun was immensely shocked inside, but his joy did not last long before he suddenly realized a new restriction was forming in his mind.

This quickly extinguished his joy.

"What, what have you done to me?"

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at Lin Chen, full of astonishment as he asked.

In his heart, there was endless anger because he saw that the restrictions he had finally escaped from for many years were now being reset anew.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen gave Zhou Xiaoyun a calm smile.

Why shouldn’t he set restrictions? Just now these two fellows did not believe he could resolve the restrictions.

And the result? Not only could Lin Chen resolve the restrictions, but he could also set new ones.

He certainly had no reason to let the two opposing him leave.

"Heh, what? Do you believe what I said earlier now?"

Lin Chen looked at Zhou Xiaoyun, casually speaking with a smile, but obviously with no intention of letting him go.

Now that he had imposed restrictions within Zhou Xiaoyun, he could only obey Lin Chen’s commands, unless he was prepared to die, even to the point of rebelling against Lin Chen.

However, since Lin Chen successfully imposed the Divine Soul Restriction within Zhou Xiaoyun, if Zhou Xiaoyun truly did rebel against Lin Chen, Lin Chen would have no choice but to take his life.

Therefore, when Zhou Xiaoyun thought about resisting Lin Chen, Lin Chen only needed a thought, and a suppression from the Divine Soul instantly overwhelmed Zhou Xiaoyun’s heart.

Zhou Xiaoyun instantly realized that at Lin Chen’s mere thought, his life might be at Lin Chen’s mercy.

"Subordinate Zhou Xiaoyun, willing to serve the master with my life."

Zhou Xiaoyun seemed to understand something instantly and addressed Lin Chen right away.

Lin Chen heard this, his lips slightly curling up, feeling that Zhou Xiaoyun was indeed a man who knew current affairs.

"If you remain this candid forever, perhaps I can completely lift your restrictions in the future."

Lin Chen looked at Zhou Xiaoyun, saying indifferently whether the other believed it or not.

A glimmer of hope flashed across Zhou Xiaoyun’s eyes; although he was unsure of the truth in Lin Chen’s words, at least it gave him a sliver of hope for freedom that he never had under Black Devil’s control.

"Master, rest assured, Mr. Zhou will perform well."

Zhou Xiaoyun said with hidden joy.

"No need for that, just remain loyal in your duties. There’s no need for any of these formalities in the future. Moreover, to avoid trouble, you may call me Young Master Lin Chen just like the other attendants."

Lin Chen was concerned that if Zhou Xiaoyun continued such an attitude, others would eventually become aware and think he had some secret pact with the people of the Demonic Path.

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Zhou Xiaoyun felt even more relieved, as this allowed him to disguise his identity before others, not having to be seen as Lin Chen’s servant.

As long as he truly served Lin Chen, perhaps one day he could gain true freedom.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoyun felt that it seemed more comfortable than serving Red Soul Hall.

Still, Zhou Xiaoyun was somewhat worried; after all, by standing with Lin Chen now, he was betraying Red Soul Hall, and if Red Soul Hall targeted Lin Chen in the future, they would naturally include him.

Could they really stand against Red Soul Hall?

Although Zhou Xiaoyun was apprehensive, he also understood that since Lin Chen could lift Lord Black Devil’s restrictions, he must possess an incredibly powerful force that had not yet been fully revealed.

Little did Zhou Xiaoyun know that Lin Chen, relying solely on his achievements concerning the Divine Soul, was indeed not sufficient to lift the restrictions on Zhou Xiaoyun, hence he had the help of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

Before the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, the Black Devil’s restrictions naturally amounted to nothing.

And while Zhou Xiaoyun’s strength was actually higher than Lin Chen’s, and he was adept at assassination, Lin Chen saw through it all with the aid of the Abyssal Eye, rendering Zhou Xiaoyun unable to exert his dominance before Lin Chen.

If it weren’t for Lin Chen’s Abyssal Eye restraining Zhou Xiaoyun, it would have taken Lin Chen some effort to defeat him.

Subsequently, Lin Chen continued to explore this plain with Zhou Xiaoyun in tow.

Now that Zhou Xiaoyun had joined, Lin Chen believed they would have a greater chance of success against the likes of Xue Qing and others from Red Soul Hall, and the situation no longer seemed so passive.

However, Zhou Xiaoyun himself did not know that Xue Qing had already stepped into the threshold of the Half-step to Creation Realm.
