"Do you think that once I leave, you can hide away in the deep mountains and old forests, never to see me again, and thus avoid fulfilling our contract?"
Just as Lu Zhenghun's mind was wavering, Lin Beichen suddenly clapped once.
Spiritual Qi transformed into tangible vacuum characters, instantly coalescing in the void above, forming a profound array, which was imprinted onto Lu Zhenghun's brow.
What is this?
Lu Zhenghun was greatly shocked, his heart immensely shaken. Although he did not know what this was, he had a sense of foreboding.
Instinct told him that this was highly unusual; once this thing was introduced into his body, there would be no more freedom. No matter where he was, even at the ends of the earth from Lin Beichen, he would be found instantly.
Lu Zhenghun urgently tried to evade, but the Curse Technique had just been unraveled, and his body was in a state of extreme weakness, leaving him with no strength.
In just a moment, this profound Spiritual Light entered his body, instantly pinning him in place.
Lu Zhenghun stood on the ground in a daze, as if his mind was a tempest, continuously surging.
"This is a contract. From today onwards, with this contract's protection, your soul will be immune to all evils.
But as a price, as long as you dare to defy my will, even if you are thousands of miles away, with a mere thought, your soul will disappear into nothingness, becoming a ghost of the Yellow Springs."
Lin Beichen said lightly, looking at Lu Zhenghun with a faint smile.
Lu Zhenghun's face was extremely unsightly; he clearly did not expect Lin Beichen to possess such Divine Techniques.
The Celestial Gate had not long been opened, and there were not many who were proficient in arrays. To be able to use the Curse Technique, ignoring spatial regions, he was the only one in the world.
Could it be, Lin Beichen is truly a genius?
Lu Zhenghun closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes within his body.
The Power of Curse circulated throughout his body, even penetrating his soul.
As he slightly sensed it, he immediately felt a new weight in his soul, as if something was drawing him in, sinking him into a mental bondage.
In the mental world, a mysterious and profound spiritual state, in this world, eyes cannot see, and only feelings can interpret this realm.
Previously, when he sensed this realm, he was always shrouded in fog, but this time, as soon as he entered this space, he felt the radiance of a blazing sun.
An extremely enormous sun was hovering in his mental world, as if it had usurped and occupied his mental space.
He couldn't even gaze directly at this sun, only able to tremble beneath it.
After withdrawing from the mental space, Lu Zhenghun was ashen-faced, utterly despondent.
He had thought that after a temporary retreat, he could still withdraw to the Eastern Forest Kingdom as Supreme Emperor, but this retreat left him with nowhere to escape, driven to a dead end.
Even if he was not a Legendary Curse Master, not considering any orthodox inheritance, he could still roam freely, dominating a kingdom, but now, he had become a stray dog under Lin Beichen.
The members of the Long family were trembling in fear.
They did not understand the methods of the Cultivation Realm, but they had seen many cultural works.
In these dramatizations, once one becomes a slave to someone, they are bound to a tragic fate.
If Lin Beichen placed a restriction on them too, they would never lift their heads again.
It would be like someone stepping on their heads, no matter how they struggled, they could never escape the hands of the other.
This was even more terrifying than death.
To die is simply to fall, but this way, they would never escape for generations to come.
Among the crowd, only the elder of the Long family had a slight smile and a trace of smugness in his eyes.
Being a financial genius, he had a keen sense of opportunity.
While others saw this as a cruel punishment, he saw it as an opportunity.
This Mr. Lin seemed very formidable, but in fact, he was a kind-hearted person. As long as they cooperated obediently, there should be no trouble.
Does it matter if one is a slave?
What matters is how much power is in one's hands!
They were free on Xiang Island, but the key was, who would care about them once they left Xiang Island?
Even a financial family, with assets exceeding billions, would find that once they understand the essence of the world, the money they hold is just scraps of paper; only by wielding armed force can they stand on the world stage.
After the Celestial Gate opened, the power of cultivators has already replaced armed force.
Though he could not cultivate, just having this gentleman's protection equaled having the qualification to step onto the world stage.
Numerous thoughts swirled in the old man's mind as he carefully brought a cup of tea to Lin Beichen.
"Master, please have some tea."
"Sit down; you are too old. In the future, just focus on your responsibilities; there's no need to serve me personally."
Lin Beichen glanced at the old man and said coolly.
He merely wanted to warn this man not to cause trouble again, not so harsh as to make a man in his sixties and seventies serve him.
The Long family had earned their due, but this old man was too advanced in years.
If he truly wanted to punish, he could just kill him.
The old man retreated to the side, a slight smile rising within.
It turned out, this Mr. Lin was even kinder than anticipated.
"As long as you do your duties and don't betray, this restriction means nothing to you.
