Chapter 613 - Soul Swallowing Gaze, Control!

“Look at me,” Long Chen commanded.

Lady Mo looked into Long Chen’s eyes and saw dark whirlpools in them. She was curious and wanted to see the bottom of the whirlpools, but a strange force sucked her in.

“I am Chen Guangjun, you are my woman, Lady Mo ...” Long Chen whispered.

“You are my dear ...” she whispered.

Long Chen then quickly worked on his hypnosis to give her commands. He had to use Control to maintain his identity. After some commands, Lady Mo forgot about everything that had happened and recognized him as her husband.

The basis of Control was like hypnosis, but it was stronger.

Lady Mo was weak, so he could’ve easily controlled her from the start. But he had chosen to use it as a last resort, and he was glad that it worked.

After completing his brain washing, Lady Mo listened to Long Chen and slept on the bed. Long Chen started cultivating because no matter how much he revealed to her, she would always think that he was her husband.

Long Chen relaxed after that.

After cultivating some fist art, he heard someone reaching the estate. Long Chen used Sight and saw there were two people waiting in front of the gate. One of them was knocking on the main gate.

“Who is it this late at night?” Now that Lady Mo was under his control, he woke her up. No one would question his identity if Lady Mo was on his side.

When they got close to the gate, Long Chen felt the strong presence of the two people. One of them was at the First Earthly Martial Stage while the other was exceedingly strong. Long Chen could only detect a Martial Saint’s strength right now, so he guessed that the other person was a Martial Emperor.

It was indeed a coincidence.

He opened the door and saw who it was. The one knocking was naturally Lady Mo’s cousin, Mo Feng, while the other person was none other than Xiao Lin, the third Martial Emperor. He had white hair but a tall stature, and he was smiling kindly.

Long Chen never thought his target would appear here today. He had heard that Xiao Lin’s temperament was the best among the three, but he was certain that Xiao Lin would never show mercy to an enemy.

“Hundred-War Martial King, I hope I didn’t interrupt the two of you.” Xiao Lin smiled plainly.

Long Chen quickly replied, “No, of course not. Greetings, Martial Emperor.”

Lady Mo also greeted Xiao Lin. She was only brainwashed about the part where Long Chen was her husband. She could still function normally outside of that.

“Is that so? Are you not going to invite us in?” Xiao Lin smiled.

Long Chen quickly invited Xiao Lin and Mo Feng into the estate. In the guest hall, they each took their seats while Lady Mo prepared some fruit and tea before she stood behind Long Chen.

Xiao Lin and Mo Feng didn’t even question Long Chen’s identity since Lady Mo was so close to him.

“It’s late, so I will go straight into the details.”

“Do you have any orders for me?” Long Chen wasn’t sure why they were here so late at night.

“We were passing by and heard you were back, so we visited spontaneously.” Lady Mo’s cousin, Mo Feng, chuckled.

Xiao Lin nodded, “My subordinate, the Yellow River Sword King, was killed at the Battle clan. He was supposed to guard the Nine Spirit Pavilion with Mo Feng but was instead taken by Yang Ningfeng to fight. Yang Ningfeng is now dead and I have an opening at the Nine Spirit Purgatory, so I was thinking of recruiting you to work under me there.”

Mo Feng added, “Hundred-War Martial King, guarding the Nine Spirit Pavilion is an easy job. You don’t have to take missions outside or even risk your life. I was afraid my cousin would have to take care of her children herself, so I thought of recommending you for the position.”

Long Chen was pleasantly surprised by the news.

Chen Guangjun would’ve been happy with the offer too as he could’ve just stayed in the safety of Martial Overlord City in close proximity to his family. To Long Chen, he could finally enter the Nine Spirit Pavilion to check on the news about the Nine Spirit Purgatory.

Before Long Chen could respond, Lady Mo answered, “Is that so? That’s amazing! We thank the Martial Emperor for his grace.” She had long wanted her husband to come home to her every day. It would be good news if he did.

She urged Long Chen to quickly accept it.

It was indeed good news, so he agreed.

Long Chen stood up and said with dignity, “I shall accept the position. I swear on my life that I will be loyal to you and do my best.”

Xiao Lin chuckled. “Is that so? That’s good. I won’t be disturbing you any longer. Come find me in three days.”

He and Mo Feng then left.

The opportunity had quite literally come knocking before Long Chen even did anything. Luck was truly on his side.

Long Chen didn’t have to worry about his identity since he was controlling Lady Mo.

***

Three days later, Long Chen showed up at the Nine Spirit Pavilion. Xiao Lin was in closed-door cultivation, as usual. The entrance to the Nine Spirit Purgatory was in the depths of the Nine Spirit Pavilion. It was an infamous place that no one had ever managed to escape before. It didn’t really need any guards, but guards were still posted here to prevent people from causing trouble. It was indeed an easy job.

Xiao Lin’s residence was inside the pavilion. He usually didn\'t bother dealing with daily matters personally, so Long Chen only needed to interact with Mo Feng.

Without Xiao Lin around, Mo Feng referred to Long Chen as his cousin-in-law. Being called cousin-in-law by a middle-aged man felt quite weird.

“Since this is your first time here, let me show you around. You just need to stand at the entrance of the Nine Spirit Purgatory to guard the place. There’s usually nothing to do, but the Martial Overlord might come and imprison someone. He usually appears every few days.”

The Nine Spirit Pavilion was a beautiful place with a lot of greenery. It didn’t resemble a prison at all.

“Both me and Yellow River used to guard the place. If he had something to do, I would take his shift. If I had something to do, he would cover for me. We actually only need a single guard at a time, so why don’t we split the shift in half? If you have something urgent such as my cousin getting pregnant, I don’t mind doing some overtime,” Mo Feng said with a chuckle.

The Martial Alliance was a large organization, and everyone had their own job to do. Every single Martial King was in charge of something, not just working as a soldier for the Martial Alliance.

They soon reached the entrance of the Nine Spirit Purgatory.

A small, ancient, wooden hut stood before them. Its exterior was gray and it exuded a strange aura. Long Chen even saw gray mist coming out from the wooden hut. The ground within a hundred meter radius of the hut was completely gray with nothing growing on it.

“Is that the entrance to the Nine Spirit Purgatory? I have never seen it before.” Long Chen was shocked.

“It’s the most frightening place here. No one can get out alive since there’s only a single entrance and no exit,” Mo Feng said proudly.

“No exits? Maybe the people imprisoned inside couldn’t find it?”

“I don’t think so. I’ve heard that the Nine Spirit Purgatory is a desolate land where there’s not a single wisp of nature’s spiritual energy. Cultivators can barely survive there without spiritual energy. Also, I’ve heard that the most terrifying aspect of the place is that everyone inside loses their sense of direction. If you walk in a straight line, you will find yourself walking in a large circle instead.”

No spiritual energy and no sense of direction.

No wonder no one has managed to escape.

He then realized that something was wrong. “Wait, if no one has ever managed to escape, then how do we know what the interior of the Nine Spirit Purgatory is like?”

Mo Feng smiled bitterly. “I don’t know.”

It was clear that Mo Feng didn’t know much either. The Red Souls’ information network was indeed terrifying to be able to find out the things that even Mo Feng didn’t know.

Long Chen was certain that the path to exit the Nine Spirit Purgatory was in Xiao Lin’s hands.

Big Sister, give me some time to get the answer from Xiao Lin, then I will come and rescue you.

Long Chen didn’t want her to suffer too long, nor did he know how bad it was inside.

Long Yue had helped him a lot, so he had to save her.
