Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 547 - 352 Subjugation_2
Chapter 547 -352 Subjugation_2
After a moment, the master-servant pact was complete, and the Black-haired Demon Rat lay prostrate on the ground, devoid of any will to live.
Then, a shaggy humanoid rat suddenly dashed to Zhao Sheng’s feet, his body convulsing violently. Soon, his gray fur retracted into his skin, and his head returned to its normal human shape.
“My lord, spare my life! I was ordered by the Mouse God, and I had no choice in the matter. I swear I’ve never done anything against heaven and reason,” the middle-aged man with the beard begged and kowtowed like pounding garlic, fearing that the exalted one would use him as a sacrificial example.
Zhao Sheng ignored the man, and addressed the Demon Rat sternly, “Evil creature, take your offspring and leave at once. You are to wait for me at the temple, I will come to see you later.”
Upon hearing this, the Black-haired Demon Rat leaped up excitedly, squeaking frantically and zipping into the darkness like lightning.
The rat tide quickly receded, leaving nothing but chaos in the broken temple.
The bearded middle-aged man got up from the ground, thinking of sneaking away, but when a gaze fell upon him, his body shivered, and he obediently kneeled back down, waiting for his fate to be decided.
“My lord, my lord, what has happened to you?”
At this time, the Red Dragon Knights were gradually regaining consciousness. One of them quickly rushed to the side of the pale-faced elder, shaking the Lord County Governor vigorously while channeling streams of Innate True Qi into his body.

But the pale-faced elder lay motionless on the ground, still unconscious.
Seeing this scene, the Red Dragon Knights looked extremely anxious and fearful.
The laws of the Great Da Gu Heavenly Dynasty were stringent, and the military laws, even more so. If an official was harmed on his way to his post, the soldiers escorting him would also face severe punishment—to be sentenced to the Death Camp at the very least, or executed in public at worst.
Thus, when they saw the elder remain unconscious, everyone was beside themselves with worry.
At that moment, Captain Jiang, with his Magic Sword in hand, walked up to Zhao Sheng and gave a respectful military salute, saying earnestly, “I am Jiang Wuyang, and I deeply thank the master for saving our lives!”
“No need for such formalities! Your lord seems to be under enchantment; let me take a look,” replied Zhao Sheng.
No sooner had Zhao Sheng finished speaking than Captain Jiang’s face lit up with joy. However, just then, the Two-Horned Attendant Student suddenly appeared before them, exclaiming, “Lord, have you gone mad?”
Zhao Sheng turned his head to look at the Divinity-reaching Grandmaster, his expression remaining indifferent.
The Two-Horned Attendant Student trembled all over and quickly transmitted his voice to Zhao Sheng, whispering for a while.
After hearing him out, Zhao Sheng nodded slightly and hmm-ed in affirmation. He then stepped over to the pale-faced elder and released a series of spirit lights from his hands that entered the elder’s seven apertures.
Before long, the pale-faced elder’s eyelids fluttered slightly, and he groaned as he slowly came to.
“Where am I?” inquired the elder.
Seeing this, the Two-Horned Attendant Student swiftly moved in front of him and pushed his hands outward. A circle of blue light rolled out like a tide, pushing the approaching Red Dragon Knights back several steps.
All onlookers were taken aback.
“Liu Jun Cheng, if it weren’t for my master intervening today, you wouldn’t have survived! Now, tell us, how do you plan to repay this life-saving grace?” The Attendant Student knelt on the ground, chuckling strangely as he mocked.
The Two-Horned Attendant Student’s real name was Ye Tianyun, and he was the first subordinate Zhao Sheng recruited upon arriving in Qian’an County.
Ye Tianyun’s life story was filled with legends.
Orphaned at a young age, he had no choice but to live with his hunter uncle, learning to hunt in the mountains from the age of nine.
At the age of twelve, he lost his way in a deep forest and stumbled upon a secluded valley, where he unknowingly consumed a mysterious fruit.
Afterward, his appearance and physique remained that of a twelve-year-old boy, but he underwent a transformation and miraculously entered the Innate Realm.
In the subsequent six decades, as if blessed with extraordinary fortune, Ye Tianyun achieved great success in everything he did, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds. With his profound Innate True Qi and his iron fists, he became unbeatable in Qian’an County Martial World and was later revered as “Eternal Youth Venerable.”
As he aged and sensed his days were numbered, Ye Tianyun crazily sought methods to prolong his life.
Every person has their destined lifespan, and even though Ye Tianyun had reached Half-step to Divinity, he couldn’t break the shackles of the universe.
Driven to desperation, Ye Tianyun turned to gods and spirits and, based on the rumors that the Five Pass Snake God could grant the Secret Technique for prolonging life, he willingly joined the Five Passes Temple.
Somehow, by taking advantage of the Five Pass Secret Technique, Ye Tianyun managed to break through to the Divine Communication Martial Realm, not only enhancing his strength to be on par with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator but also significantly extending his lifespan as a result.
Hence, he quickly became a fervent follower of the Five Pass Snake God.
With Ye Tianyun’s vigorous support, the already well-established Five Passes Divine Sect grew even more rapidly and became the second-largest religious force in Qian’an County, only slightly behind the Heavenly Dao Sect, in recent years.
He also took up the position of protector within the Divine Sect, implying the significance of a behind-the-scenes power broker.
A few days ago, after Zhao Sheng arrived in Qian’an County, he immediately sought out the largest Five Passes Temple, where he conveniently encountered Ye Tianyun.
Thus, with a simple display of power, Zhao Sheng easily subdued him.
Ye Tianyun was accustomed to having his way and was stubbornly unyielding. Since he was subdued only recently, he remained outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, which is why his words often carried a sarcastic undertone.
Today, the reason Zhao Sheng waited in this ruin of a temple was for that very Black-haired Demon Rat.
This rat was revered as an incarnation of the Five Pass God and also served as the guardian Divine Beast of a Five Passes Temple.
Its presence, coupled with the interference of several temple priests, had repeatedly thwarted Ye Tianyun’s ambition to unify the believers of the entire county.
