--- Chapter 85 ---

Yunlong stared at the black-hooded men and instantly put them into a deep illusion, which would trap their consciousness for an indefinite amount of time.

He also scanned their memory for a few moments and saw that they're special forces, cultivated mainly by the star luo empire to protect their heirs.

'Even though this team isn't powerful based on my standard, they surprisingly ranked 3 of all units,' Yunlong commented while looking at the black-hooded man in a bit of surprise.

He pondered about something for a moment and put a few instructions into their head, which would make them into a perfect puppet for him.

'Hmm, let's put a safety measure. It won't be a problem for being a little cautious after all.' He rewired their head with a few illusions and ehem tortures, which made some of them shed tears of misery.

"Okay, it's done." Yunlong snapped his fingers in the air, and the black-hooded men immediately kneeled in front of him.

He nodded his head in satisfaction and shifted his gaze at the lifeless body on the grass. "I shouldn't have killed him..." He sighed.

"Well, I can't change something that already happened." Yunlong burned the corpse into a pile of ash and shifted his gaze to the black-haired girl, who soundlessly slept on the ground.

Yunlong massaged his temple for a moment and frowned because of this girl's family tradition. They used survival of the fittest rule where the most powerful heir would inherit their family head's position while the other heir would die in the process.

It's not that he pitied her fate, but this rule is messing up his plan because he needs all heirs to stay alive until his goal is over. "What an absolute drag..." Yunlong said.

He woke her up by snapping his finger, and Zhu Zhuyun immediately opened her eyes in confusion, but as soon she saw a puddle of blood near her, she instantly got terrified.

"W-What happened...!" Zhu Zhuyun coldly breathed while looking at the surroundings and noticed Yunlong, who calmly looked down at her.

"Calm down. I only killed one of your guards." Yunlong truthfully answered with a reassuring expression on his face, which terrified her even more.

Zhu Zhuyun tried to calm herself down and looked at the situation around her, "Hurry, save Dai Weisi and me from this place." She shouted while intently looking at the black-hooded men.

"They won't respond to you." Yunlong released a chuckle, which made Zhu Zhuyun confused.

"After all, they aren't your guards anymore. Hmm, Let's say that I own them from now on." He continued while snapping his finger, which made the black-hooded men lift their injured bodies and gave him a respectful salute.

"We greet the young master." They spontaneously said while bowing their bodies at him.

"See." Yunlong shrugged his shoulder.

"W-What..." Zhu Zhuyun shocked when looking at the black-hooded men, who were supposed to be her guards, giving a respectful salute to Yunlong.

"Well, you don't have to worry. These guys would still act as your guards because you are still useful for me." Yunlong calmly said, making Zhu Zhuyun's eyes widened in disbelief.

"A-Are you going to kill me..." Zhu Zhuyun silently asked while releasing tears from her eyes.

"Nope, as long as you're useful to me, I won't kill you," Yunlong whispered into her ears while wiping her tears away with his handkerchief, which made Zhu Zhuyun stare at him with worried eyes.

"So be useful for me, little cat." He calmly continued while patting her on the head and walking away from the area.

As Yunlong went away, the black-hooded men immediately carried her and Dai Weisi to their respective residences.

The other guards questioned them a little, but one black-hooded man calmly answered, "We got attacked by a powerful spirit beast, which caused one of our men to die in the mission."

"I see, that's unfortunate. I will call a medic to heal the Prince and Lady Zhu." The other guard responded.

"Mm, thanks." The black-hooded man naturally replied with a nod.

Meanwhile, a few hundred meters away from them, Yunlong calmly observed the living quarters from a high tree branch, which showcased the full view of the area.

'It is okay to leave her alone, boss?' Greed suddenly asked because Yunlong seems to let her away without any precaution.

'Well, if she is thinking anything related to me, it would trigger a few illusions that I have set in her head, which would put her in a horrible state,' Yunlong answered his ego's question.

'So I doubt she can do anything about it, except for becoming a loyal spy and puppet for me.' He continued jumping off the tree and naturally landing on the ground with ease.

'I see, so you've been planning this all along, huh. Boss.' Greed replied with a surprised tone.

Yunlong didn't reply to his ego and moved toward the next place, where he would meet Zhu Zhuyun's younger sister, Zhu Zhuqing.

Since Yunlong doesn't want to use too much spirit energy by using his flying technique, he's moving on foot toward the next destination.

'It's a shame that I couldn't meet Dai Mubai since he seems to already go to Shrek Academy.' Yunlong suddenly thought while moving at a fast rate across the woods.

'But this place is surprisingly full of spirit beasts, huh.' He continued while looking at the spirit beasts, who are living inside of this forest.

The spirit beasts ranged from 100-20,000 years old, the spirit beasts were more aggressive here, and their strength would also make a few weak spirit saints feel threatened.

"What a weird protection..." Yunlong quietly commented while looking at the incoming golden-winged eagle, who seems to move quickly toward him.

He shook his head and took a strand of golden strings, which he waved to the air to cut the eagle into half. "Let's increase my speed." He said while feeling the system notification on his head.

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

[You have killed one Golden-Winged Eagle]

[You have devoured a piece of Golden-Winged Eagle's soul, spirit, and spiritual energy]

[You have gained [Eagle Eyes] Skill]

Hearing what skill did he get, Yunlong cannot help but chuckle a little because the new ability he got somehow matched with [Archery] Skill that he got after killing one of the black-hooded men.

'There is no way that greed's new form is a bow, right?' He suddenly thought while making a smile on his face.

"Hmm, this is the border?" Yunlong stopped while looking at the mountain in front of him, which separated the two places.

He passed the mountain with no difficulty and moved through to the forest while searching for a girl's presence.

ROAR!

A beast roar suddenly echoed in the area, which made Yunlong frown for a moment because this spirit beast seems to be outraged at something.

"No way she was there, right?" Yunlong shifted his gaze to the roar direction.

Yunlong immediately used his shadow flash toward the place and saw an energy blast fly toward him. "Okay..." He quietly reacted by cutting the attack into half using greed.

Boom!

The energy blast touched trees behind him, which instantly explodes into pieces. "That attack should be from a spirit beast that is around 5,000-6,000 years old," Yunlong said after looking at the power of that explosion.

In a few seconds, he arrived at the place and was immediately bewildered by the scene he witnessed.

A girl, who was a few years younger than and had a similar appearance to Zhu Zhuyun, stood in front of a big yellow-striped tiger with a calm expression on her face.

"Zhu Zhuqing..." Yunlong looked at the girl, who barely dodged the sharp claws of the tiger spirit beast.

"Should I help her?" He quietly continued while frowning a little because this is a kind of opportunity to make her enter his side.

[Name: Ferocious Tiger]

[Species: Tiger/Spirit Beast]

[Cultivation Age: 5,900 years old]

[Innate Skill: Mighty Roar, Tyrant Claws]

Zhu Zhuqing heavily breathed while dodging attacks from the ferocious tiger, and she has been fighting for a few minutes, but her body already gave up for some reason.

"My leg...!" Zhu Zhuqing's legs suddenly lost their power, and she immediately fell to the ground.

Roar!

The ferocious tiger roared excitedly because this human girl finally gave up, he had a fun time teasing her, but it's time for the feast.

"I don't want to die..." Zhu Zhuqing muttered while looking at the incoming sharp claws.

She suddenly remembered a boy with blonde hair and cannot help but release tears from her eyes. "Where are you when I need you the most." She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.

The claws almost reached her body, but a silhouette suddenly appeared in front of her. "Phew, that's a close call." Yunlong looked at the claw in his hand.

Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes and looked at Yunlong with a blurry gaze. "Who are you?" She asked.

"Me? Hmm, a person who happened to be passing through this forest?" Yunlong answered with a smile on his face.

"Well, Let's defeat this little cat first." He continued while shifting his gaze to the spirit beast, who seems to be enraged more after Yunlong called it a little cat.

Roar!

The ferocious tiger roared in anger, but it didn't affect Yunlong because this kind of intimidation won't work on him.

Yunlong immediately punched the spirit beast on the face and muttered, "Burst Strike."

BOOM! Crack!

Yunlong's spirit bone ability burst directly hit the spirit beast on the face and launched it away from them.

"Well... You're safe now." Yunlong turned around and smiled at Zhu Zhuqing, who looked at him with shock in her eyes.
