Chapter 480: Chapter 292 Si Yunxin’s Submission

"Ten Thousand Paths acted with a thought as the blade, controlling the hearts and minds of men.

After advancing to the True Pill Realm, Qing Yu had a deeper and more thorough understanding of this Divine Skill, exhibiting it with exceptional mastery.

When combined with the Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Method, the suppression over Si Yunxin was absolute.

A single grab, just one grab, and Si Yunxin faced the peril of possible death.

The mental and thought-based suppression made the Si Family Head feel like a common fool—they could only watch wide-eyed as the attack came, with the heart to resist but a body that couldn’t respond.

It was as if their Realm had retrogressed; although their mind and body (censorship avoidance) should have been closely linked, so that thought met action, they still failed to control their body to block or counterattack under the pressure of the attack.

"Big brother!! Ehhhh..." Si Jingwen tried to shout out loud, but Qing Yu had them immobilized, their mouth unable to open fully, and they could only produce an extremely weird shouting noise.

Even while increasing the mental pressure on Si Yunxin, Qing Yu still had enough ease to hold Si Jingwen in place.

This scene went unnoticed by Si Yunxin due to his focus, but the other six saw it clearly, and Si Jingwen, who experienced it personally, was all the more shocked than they were.

’Such a master, where did they spring from? Why have they always been so unknown?’ This was the most direct thought of the six.

Qing Yu’s youthful appearance did not make them think he was young; after all, practitioners of the True Pill Realm could maintain a youthful appearance until death if they wished.

Only when one’s life force began to ebb with age would this deliberate preservation of appearance be a waste of Essence Qi, hence apart from some beauty-loving women, few would take this action.

Being able to live a moment longer was a moment gained. This waste of Essence Qi, over long years, could likely extend one’s life by two or three years.

They were skeptical of Qing Yu’s youthful appearance, but the white hair that changed due to his Mental State seemed to have revealed his true age to them.

A beauty-loving old freak.

The thought was unanimous and clear in their minds.

A "thud—"

Si Yunxin collapsed to the ground in disarray, his face covered in cold sweat.

This Si Family Head had always been unusually calm, even with the emergence of five Principals from the branch veins before, he had maintained his composure.

But now, under this one grab, Si Yunxin’s calm had cracked.

"How about it, Si Family Master?" Qing Yu spoke with a smile.

His hand hadn’t physically touched anything, yet merely the pressure and impact upon the mind had left Si Yunxin in such disarray.

Sometimes, being slightly better in Martial Arts puts you worlds apart, and Qing Yu, compared to Si Yunxin, was more than just a notch above.

"With my strength, assassinating the True Pill Realm elders of your Si Family would be a piece of cake. Even if people can block my attacks, how many will be left in the Si Family then?"

How many would be left?

Probably only a couple of old men are left, thought Si Yunxin with self-mockery.

With the foundation of the Si Family, there were indeed masters who could withstand the strange Daoist’s assassination. But such masters could not protect everyone.

’Unless that is used...’ A thought flashed through Si Yunxin’s mind, but he immediately discarded the idea.

Using that trump card, at best, could only drive the opponent back, but could not guarantee eternal safety.

Moreover, at this moment, Si Yunxin had no intention of resisting any further.

"I understand." Si Yunxin stood up, "The Si Family, will fully support the Ninth Prince."

With a single phrase, Ninth Prince, the switch from Feng Jiu to the Ninth Prince expressed Si Yunxin’s stance.

The Si Family was giving up on Feng Chaonan to support Feng Qiwu, believing that Feng Chaonan was doomed to fail. Now, with the betrayal of Si Ziwei and his four companions before, and with Qing Yu’s direct display of force afterward, Si Yunxin saw a greater hope for victory with the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince had long been prepared and was powerful; thus, the Si Family naturally did not mind switching loyalties once again.

"Then congratulations to you for siding with the victor," Qing Yu’s smile grew even warmer upon receiving the response he wanted.

"However, the necessary precautions cannot be overlooked."

Suddenly taking action, Qing Yu pinpointed various locations on Si Yunxin’s body.

What was puzzling was that the spots Qing Yu pressed on were clearly not major acupoints, but rather insignificant places, yet Si Yunxin felt a small stream of qi moving inside his body.

And then, it vanished abruptly.

"What is this..." Si Yunxin’s eyes went wide.

As a practitioner of the True Pill Realm with exceptional perception, he still couldn’t detect where the tiny stream of qi had gone, even though it should still be inside his body.

"A small means of control, called ’Black Sky Tribulation.’ I believe you would not wish to experience the sensation of the ’Black Sky Tribulation,’" Qing Yu said with a meaningful smile.

After advancing to the True Pill, the Tribulation Power within Qing Yu was also incorporated into his Heavenly Human Golden Core.

Moreover, thanks to the perceptive evolution from a mutation, Qing Yu’s control over the Hidden Meridian had become even more thorough.

Now, he no longer needed to refine others into Tribulation Slaves to trigger the ’Black Sky Tribulation.’

This ’Black Sky Tribulation’ was not the same as the other ’Black Sky Tribulation’; Qing Yu’s version was more similar to a Life and Death Talisman.

Using Tribulation Power as a lead, it infiltrated the opponent’s Hidden Meridian and remained there.

If the opponent harbored no rebellious thoughts, then it was fine; but if they had any thoughts of revolt, Qing Yu could activate the Tribulation Power, opening the Hidden Meridian and devouring the True Qi into Tribulation Power.

The aftermath of this move did not end there. The Tribulation Power would then evolve into the Six Void Poison, the Circulating Eight Forces modulating within the body, eventually causing a small Heavenly Endless Treasure to burst open inside.

During this process, the original intensity and sensation of the ’Black Sky Tribulation’ would remain fully present, if not more so.

"In the Si Family, many will be seeded with the ’Black Sky Tribulation’ by me. Si Family Master, make sure not to make any missteps and bury this grand family of yours!" Qing Yu warned with seeming benevolence.

"I understand," responded Si Yunxin.

He had to understand; with himself as the fish and others as the knife, Si Yunxin had no choice but to bow his head.

"Of course, with the Si Family’s vigorous support for the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince naturally will not be unappreciative. The Si Family Master’s daughter Si Qingwei shall marry the Ninth Prince, and soon, she will be the Empress of Northern Zhou."

Qing Yu patted Si Yunxin’s shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Work hard, future Imperial Father-in-law."

"The Si Family shall do our utmost to aid the Ninth Prince in ascending to the throne!" declared Si Yunxin resolutely.

"So I hope."

Qing Yu moved on to Si Jingwen, implanting the ’Black Sky Tribulation’ in the same manner.

"Please take good care of these five individuals. I do not wish to hear news of their deaths," Qing Yu requested before his figure abruptly vanished, just as it had appeared, with no one noticing his departure.

It was as if he had been an illusion; the existence of this enigmatic Daoist was like a mirage, real yet indiscernible.

Si Yunxin’s gaze flickered briefly with uncertainty, but glancing at Si Ziwei and the four who still stood there, he realized that within these short moments, the fate of the Si Family had undergone a massive shift.
