Dad's Persuasion

Hum—

The Demonic Carnage Sword let out a sword hum that resounded through the world. Even the void could tremble.

A demon god phantom appeared behind Mo Lin, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to gather around his body, forming a ferocious and overbearing pressure that spread out.

"No need to look anymore. He came out himself!" Seeing Mo Lin rush out, Li Qingyun said.

"Well, that saves me the trouble!" A wisp of a smile suffused the corners of Li Yu's mouth while his gaze was indifferent.

He did not care about the changes in Mo Lin at all, even though the current Mo Lin looked completely different from before and even seemed creepy.

"Mo Lin does have some trump cards. He actually has such a natural oddity!" Li Qingyun said with a smile as he looked at the flames on Mo Lin's body.

"Natural oddity? What kind?" Li Yu was immediately interested. He needed to collect natural oddities too. When he heard the keywords, his eyes sparkled.

"If I'm not wrong, it should be the Turtle Spiritual Earth Core Flame. Plus, it has been cultivated into a demon!" Li Qingyun explained.

The Turtle Spiritual Earth Core Flame was a profound fire born from heaven and earth, and it was an extremely precious natural oddity.

Even to the various Holy Lands, this was definitely a priceless treasure.

When it was first born, it generally did not have much intelligence.

This type of profound fire could be refined and fused by cultivators into their own great divine art to improve their magic power.

At the same time, it was also one of the best flames for pill refinement and weapon refinement.

After seeing this Turtle Spiritual Earth Core Flame, Li Qingyun understood why the demon sword could reach the level of a supreme-grade immortal artifact.

"As expected of the Divine Firmament Holy Land's Holy Son. You sure are knowledgeable!" said Mo Lin.

However, his voice sounded as if two people were talking in synchrony. One was deep while the other was soft, making the sound even more sinister and eerie.

"The supreme-grade Immortal Artifact, Demonic Carnage Sword. The natural oddity is the Turtle Spiritual Earth Core Flame. Wow, I can't believe I'm getting two unexpected rewards today!" The corners of Li Yu's mouth curled into a wisp of a greedy smile.

This was really a surprise!

"Turtle Spiritual Earth Core Flame, why don't you follow my son Li Yu? You'll have a brighter future rather than following Mo Lin!" Li Qingyun remarked.

"Li Qingyun, stop daydreaming. Today will be your… Huh? Where are my disciples!" As Mo Lin took back control of his body, he suddenly noticed that the surroundings were abnormally quiet. He looked down carefully, and his expression immediately changed.

All of them were dead!

Mo Lin's pupils trembled, and the pale blue flames around him shook violently.

Initially, he believed that the Demonic Carnage Sword would turn the tide by joining forces with his disciples and the array formation.

However, he did not expect that Li Yu had already destroyed his entire sect.

Looking at the state of everyone's death, Mo Lin instantly knew the reason.

Li Yu destroyed the Protective Mountain Array, and the backlash caused everyone to die from internal injuries.

He destroyed the grand array!

Mo Lin was shocked again.

The fear of being dominated by the sword overwhelmed him again.

He knew how terrifying the lethality could be if they used the entire sect's power to support the grand array formation.

Even if he held the Demonic Carnage Sword now, he might not be able to withstand it unscathed.

Yet, this did not harm Li Yu at all. He had even destroyed the grand array formation.

Just how strong is this guy!

Mo Lin felt that Li Yu's strength seemed to have already exceeded the scope of his understanding.

This guy was not human at all.

He might even be the reincarnation of a certain Demon Thearch, Immortal Emperor, or Martial Emperor.

Up to this point, Mo Lin's aura immediately weakened, and he even thought of backing out.

He felt that even if he had the Demonic Carnage Sword, he might not match Li Yu.

If it wasn't for the fact that he could no longer retreat, he would absolutely choose to avoid that terrifying sword strike from Li Yu.

However, as matters stood, he had no way out. He could either kill Li Yu or be killed by Li Yu.

"Turtle Spiritual Earth Core Flame, see this? The Netherworld Demon Sect has already been destroyed. Mo Lin is only an arrow at the end of its flight. Plus, he's already terrified.

"He has no chance of winning. You should know this better than I do. If you don't abandon the dark and seek the light, you will only die with him.

"You have probably cultivated for at least a thousand years. Sacrificing yourself for a dead person is really not worth it.

"If you follow my son, he can help you obtain the Extreme Earth True Fire in the primordial abyss or the Golden Sun True Fire of the Golden Feather Race in the future!

"You should know what this means!

"And you must have seen my son's capabilities. It's enough to sweep through the world. Although I, Li Qingyun, am no longer the Divine Firmament's Holy Son, my knowledge is definitely not something an ordinary person can compare to.

"Therefore, do you choose to perish with Mo Lin, or do you want to pursue the Great Dao of Immortal Ascension with us? You decide for yourself!"

Li Qingyun's persuasion was powerful and resonating.

It made the flames around Mo Lin seem to become illusory.

In fact, Li Qingyun could tell from Mo Lin's expression that he was afraid.

Even the phantom behind him became dim and shrunk, showing that he had already lost mentally.

As for the Turtle Spiritual Earth Core Flame, it was fused with Mo Lin. Since their minds were linked, he could definitely sense this change in emotion.

Hence, Li Qingyun took the opportunity to convince the natural oddity to flip. And he might be able to subdue the enemy without a fight.

Otherwise, with a single sword strike from Li Yu, he would probably really beat the Turtle Spirit Ground Flame back to its original form or even directly destroy it.

Sensing the slight hesitation in the profound flame, Mo Lin knew that the situation was dire and yelled, "Shut up, Li Qingyun. Today, I will take revenge for all the disciples of the sect!"

He immediately wanted to wave his sword and attack.

However, right at this moment, he suddenly stopped.

The flames around him instantly disappeared. An illusory flame figure grabbed the Demonic Carnage Sword from Mo Lin's hand and flew to the side.

"Mister Wu Chang, you!" Mo Lin's expression changed drastically, and his aura instantly weakened.

"I'm sorry, Sect Master Mo Lin. You've already lost mentally. Even if I help you, you're bound to die. You should know this better than me!" the Turtle Spiritual Earth Core Flame said.

He and Mo Lin did not have a deep bond. They only needed each other for mutual benefits.

Moreover, as Li Qingyun said, he could sense Mo Lin's thoughts.

He knew that Mo Lin was afraid and that they had no chance of winning.

So there was no need for him to be buried with the Netherworld Demon Sect and Mo Lin.

After weighing the pros and cons, he made a wise choice.

Hearing the profound flame's remarks, Mo Lin bitterly smiled, his eyes filled with despair.

He knew that he had been utterly defeated today.

He didn't say anything else and charged right at Li Yu.

The desire for death was clear to see.

Li Yu made no mistake and casually waved his sword, sending Mo Lin to reunite with the Netherworld Demon Sect's disciples.

After eliminating Mo Lin, Li Yu's mission was finally completed.

Prestige became 49 / 100.

Other than his prestige points, his experience points increase as well.

At this stage, he had obtained a lot of experience points killing the demon child, Wolf King Tharman, and Mo Lin.

The experience bar had changed to: You are still 10.011… away from becoming invincible.

Looking at this data, he felt more reassured!

"Dad, your mouth, your persuasion is amazing!" Li Yu said with a smile as he looked at the Turtle Spiritual Earth Core Flame that had surrendered voluntarily.

Li Qingyun gave a smile, then looked at the profound flame and commented, "You've made a wise choice!"

"Here is the Demonic Carnage Sword. It's my gift to show my loyalty!" The profound flame handed over the sword with both hands.

Li Yu smiled and received the Demonic Carnage Sword. The system's voice sounded.

"Ding… successful collection of the Demonic Carnage Sword."

At the same time, the mission progress of the divine weapon collection became 7 / 20.

"You're called Wu Chang, right?" Li Qingyun asked.

"Yes!" the Turtle Spiritual Earth Core Flame said respectfully.

"I still can't confirm if you sincerely submit to my son, so I have to plant a contract seal in your sea of consciousness!" Li Qingyun announced.

"Huh? You didn't say that just now!" A look of shock appeared on Wu Chang's illusory face.

He felt like he had been tricked!

The so-called contract seal was a special restriction. As long as it was planted, Wu Chang would essentially become Li Qingyun's puppet servant with his life and death in his hands.

As long as Li Qingyun was willing, he could even control him directly.

This was definitely a form of humiliation.

Li Qingyun revealed a pleasant smile and added, "Don't worry, this is only a test for you. If you don't even dare to accept this, then it means that you really have ulterior motives. Why don't we let my son beat you back to your original form now and then refine and absorb you? Wouldn't that be better!"

Wu Chang fell silent. Damn, this Li Qingyun is a demon!

However, he had no other choice now.

His strength was similar to Mo Lin's in the past, both at the Soul Formation Stage.

Not even Mo Lin was a match for Li Yu, so struggling was equivalent to seeking death.

"Don't worry. If you prove your loyalty in the future, I'll surely remove the contract seal for you!" Li Qingyun promised.

Wu Chang went silent for a moment before he said helplessly, "Alright, to show my loyalty, I'm willing to accept the contract seal!"
