Chapter 53: Saint Becomes a Slave, Qing Ning Moved

The Shangguan Family is a relatively influential Family within the Ziyang Imperial Capital.

Nearly thirty percent of its descendants are born with Innate Nether Eyes.

Those with Innate Nether Eyes can use these eyes to see through danger.

In other words, those with Nether Pupils can predict risks in advance when entering certain Secret Realms and blessed lands.

If the risk is too great, they will not continue to seek the Opportunity.

Because of this, the number of Shangguan Family descendants lost in these places of Opportunity is almost zero.

Originally in the Ziyang Empire, this special ability of the Shangguan Family was highly sought after by major families, and their status rose accordingly.

It is a pity that many years ago, a direct descendant of the Shangguan Family offended a big shot within the Imperial Capital.

After that direct descendant was killed, the Shangguan Family suffered a tragic blow, with countless casualties.

Not every direct descendant of the Shangguan Family is born with Nether Pupils.

Predicting risks does not mean one can safely avoid them.

After this incident, the Shangguan Family is now depressed, and its status in the Ziyang Empire has plummeted.

If not for the fact that their Family head is in the Saint King Realm, it is feared that all those with Innate Nether Eyes would have already become hounds for other major powers to find treasure and predict risks.

"Who could have imagined that the Double-Pupil Woman of the Mingyue Dynasty was an ancestor of the Shangguan Family who was once sealed in a Secret Realm?"

"And who could have guessed that the ancient double pupils were a mutation of the Innate Nether Eyes?"

Qin Xuan muttered to himself, rubbing his chin, and pondered for a moment.

Finally, he made a decision.

This Shangguan Family must be visited.

To be on good terms with the Shangguan Family and help them settle some troubles.

At least it could get rid of the murderous intent of the Double-Pupil Woman.

Perhaps, by establishing an alliance with the Shangguan Family, he could even gain the goodwill of the Double-Pupil Woman.

That is a quasi-emperor.

A pivotal existence on the entire continent.

If the head of the Shangguan Family were not a stubborn fool loyal to Great Emperor Ziyang, the Double-Pupil Woman would have long ago moved the entire Shangguan Family to the Mingyue Dynasty.

It was this stubbornness of the Shangguan Family head that gave Qin Xuan the confidence to face the Double-Pupil Woman.

This is a crisis, but even more so, a great Opportunity!

Not to be missed!

"Before heading to the Imperial Capital, I must first improve my strength."

Qin Xuan took out the yin-yang nirvana pill and placed it in his palm, examining it carefully.

As the name suggests, this Medicinal Pill has the effect of Nirvana.

After taking it, one's Realm will drop.

This is not a bad thing, but rather a compression of the Qi within the body.

It makes the Foundation increasingly solid; after Nirvana, there is Rebirth.

One can advance rapidly in the Supernatural Realm, and within half a month, one can successively promote to the Yin-Yang Realm and comprehend the Yin and Yang Qi!

Knock, knock!

Just as Qin Xuan intended to take the yin-yang nirvana pill, a knock came from outside the mansion.

Qin Xuan temporarily put away the Medicinal Pill, walked out of the inner chamber, and opened the door, only to see Elder Qingxin standing outside the room with a troubled expression.

Qin Xuan asked suspiciously, "Elder, is there any urgent matter so late at night?"

Elder Qingxin raised his eyes and looked into the room.

Qin Xuan took the initiative to step aside, and Qing Xin walked into the inner hall. He took out an artifact for calming the soul and released Qing Ning from it.

Looking at his daughter's increasingly dim Divine Soul, he looked at Qin Xuan with pain and said, "Qin Xuan, it was my fault before. I listened to Ye Feng's slander and wanted to kill you without asking about right or wrong. All the faults are mine, as her father. Ninger is still young and was bewitched by that Ye Feng..."

Qin Xuan raised his hand to stop him, "Speak directly, don't beat around the bush."

He could guess it anyway; it was nothing more than Qing Ning's Divine Soul being unable to be repaired and about to perish.

Qing Xin clenched his fists, regretting in his heart, "Ninger's Divine Soul is just fragments; even the Holy Lord cannot repair it."

"Qin Xuan, your ancient prison-suppressing tower was able to protect Ninger before. Can you, can you make Ninger's Divine Soul recover?"

The methods he had left before could only preserve a few remnants of Qing Ning's soul.

This method of Soul Cultivator is inherently rare.

Cultivation Techniques targeting remnant souls are even rarer.

Given his daughter's current situation, even a Saint King Realm expert would be powerless to save her.

Even if he could get the Holy Lord to reshape his daughter's Physical Body, without the injection of a Divine Soul, it would ultimately just be a shell.

He was truly at his wit's end; otherwise, he wouldn't have the face to come looking for Qin Xuan.

The two of them, father and daughter, were most sorry to Qin Xuan.

As soon as they met, they called for fighting and killing. Now, they still have to ask for help; how could he calm his state of mind?

Qin Xuan glanced at Qing Ning's remnant soul and said playfully, "You were killed by Ye Feng before, it seems because you wanted to kill me, you fell into a trap? By logic, I have no reason to save you, right?"

Qing Ning lowered her head and remained silent.

Just as Qin Xuan said, he had no reason to save her.

You must know that before this, she had listened to Ye Feng's slander and tried every means to kill Qin Xuan.

Being protected until now could already be considered as her owing Qin Xuan a great favor.

"Father, let's go back. There's no need to force Qin Xuan. I don't have the qualifications to ask him to make a move." Qing Ning tugged on Qing Xin's arm and shook her head bitterly.

Elder Qingxin gritted his teeth, fell to his knees in front of Qin Xuan with a thud, "All the faults, I, Qing Xin, am willing to bear alone. I only ask that you, Qin Xuan, make a move to protect Ninger's remnant soul. From now on, I am willing to obey all your orders!"

Regarding Qing Ning, Qing Xin was infinitely doting.

The entire Yaochi Sacred Land knew this.

He only had this one daughter, and her mother had died because of him.

If he couldn't even protect this Bloodline, what was the use of a Saint's dignity?

"Father!"

Qing Ning's beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

She wanted to live, but she didn't want her father to be so humble for her.

After the Ye Feng incident, she knew deeply that she was not worthy of being a daughter.

Seeing her father disregard his dignity like this for her, she felt even more tormented.

"Making a move to repair the remnant soul is not impossible." Qin Xuan waved his hand and took Qing Ning into the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

Then, looking at Elder Qingxin, his eyes held a bit more chill, "However, Elder Qingxin, I don't believe what you say. Unless you are willing to accept me planting a mark at the core of your Divine Soul."

Qing Xin's eyes wavered for a moment, but in the end, he did not overcome his doting for Qing Ning.

He closed his eyes and opened the golden, brilliant core of his Divine Soul.

Qin Xuan pinched a Soul-Controlling Seal and took the Opportunity to strike it in.

Qing Xin opened his eyes, his gaze trembling, "This is the Soul-Controlling Seal?!"

This Cultivation Technique plants a mark in the core of the Divine Soul, capable of enslaving even those in the Saint King Realm.

As long as Qin Xuan had a thought, he, this Saint, would die instantly.

There was simply no way to escape!

Qin Xuan said with a smile, "Regret it? I can also remove the Soul-Controlling Seal; we can help each other, or we can part on bad terms."

This father and daughter both harbored murderous intent toward him and had taken action.

To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.

Besides, he is a big villain; could he still have a saintly heart?

Enslaving Qing Xin brought no psychological burden at all.

If it weren't in the Yaochi Sacred Land, if Qing Xin had just shaken his head, he would have let him die and his Dao vanish.

If he cannot be used by him, he must die!

Qing Xin struggled for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "It doesn't matter. As long as you can repair Ninger's remnant soul, I am willing to serve you until death!"

"Congratulations on making the right choice."

Qin Xuan gave Qing Xin an approving look, then disappeared.

When he appeared again, he was already inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, in front of Qing Ning's remnant soul.

"Where is my father?" Qing Ning asked urgently, her beautiful eyes red.

Qin Xuan kept a cold face, "Outside. Later, after I repair your remnant soul, you can leave with him."

Qing Ning said anxiously, "Did Father give you the Saint Seal? That was my mother's heirloom. I can die, I beg you to return that Saint Seal to Father. That is his belief. If there is an afterlife, I will be a beast of burden for you!"

Qin Xuan shook his head, "That didn't happen."

A mere Low Grade Sacred Artifact was not enough to make him save Qing Ning.

What he wanted was the life and wealth of Elder Qingxin, this Saint.

Of course, more importantly, Qing Ning is a Daughter of Luck, and she has already repented.

Once done, I will gain Villain Points.

Besides, his mansion really lacked a maid to warm the bed. Taking in a cheap Daughter of Luck as a maid, why not?

"Don't think that because your father knelt down and kowtowed to me a few times, it is enough to make me save you."

A smile played on the corners of Qin Xuan's mouth as he said, "I am only considering that you spoke up righteously before, said a few good words for me when revealing the truth, and concealed Leng Li's existence, so I barely agreed to take action."

Qing Ning shook her head self-pityingly, "Exposing Ye Feng's ugly face was my duty! You said you wanted Leng Li to serve as a guard; I had even less qualification to expose her. You don't owe me anything; it is only I who owe you."

Qin Xuan said coldly, "Shut up! I said I would save you, so I will. With so many words, do you want to die?"

Qing Ning made a muffled sound, then shook her little head, indicating that she did not want to die.

Qin Xuan told Qing Ning to sit cross-legged and meditate, and the latter obediently followed suit.

Taking advantage of the time while Qing Ning was adjusting her breath, he swallowed the yin-yang nirvana pill. Waiting until he felt the medicinal effect begin to dissolve in his body, and his Realm began to be suppressed, about to fall.

Everything was ready, and only then did he pretend to be solemn and 'repair' Qing Ning's remnant soul.

Staring at the delicate curves of Qing Ning's Divine Soul, the smile on the corners of his mouth became increasingly wicked.

The Daughter of Luck he has set his sights on will never escape his palm.

Being captured is just a matter of time.
