"I have a favor to ask of all of you…"
After Dongfang Ao finished speaking, he stared coldly at this group of people.
Chen Wenhu, the head of the White Tiger Hall, was the most sensible one. He was also the first to know about Dongfang Ao's change in temperament. Otherwise, he would not have personally led his men to send the maidservant of the Saintess, who was usually his favorite, here last night and personally asked someone to throw her into the bowl!
That was a bowl, a punishment that only criminals who had offended the cult master or trespassed on forbidden grounds would experience.
"I wonder what Cult Master has to do. After all, we won't hesitate to go through fire and water!”
After Chen Wenhu finished speaking, the rest of the people quickly replied.
"We will obey Cult Master's orders!"
"I'll go through fire and water!"
"We will obey Cult Master's orders!"
Looking at the excited middle-level managers of the Heavenly Path, Dongfang Ao's lips suddenly curled into a mysterious smile.
At the beginning of the original novel, this group of people was indeed loyal to the Heavenly Axiom.
However, in the middle and later stages, as the power of the Heaven's Path Sect declined day by day, coupled with the rise of the main character, Saintess Murong Xuehen secretly poached people. At least two-thirds of this group of people chose to betray the Heaven's Path Sect.
But now, he kept saying that he would go through fire and water without hesitation. Dongfang Ao, who was familiar with the plot, could not help but find it funny.
However, they were still somewhat useful at this moment.
Dongfang Ao raised one hand slightly. Under everyone's incredulous gazes, the tea on the table in front of him suddenly moved without any wind. Under Dongfang Ao's control, it actually turned into a mist that enveloped him. Then, it turned into pieces of brown ice that stopped in midair.
"This talisman is called the Life and Death Talisman, and I refined it from an ancient book of my Heaven's Path Sect. As for its effect, it's probably the only thing that can guarantee your subordinate's loyalty.”
"If you betray our sect, the Life and Death Talisman will turn into a strange type of zhenqi and activate it in your body. It will wander around and make the two Talisman Men beg for death!”
"You can only suppress it by taking the Life and Death Pill that I personally concocted. One pill a year is enough.”
After saying this, Dongfang Ao looked at the people below the stage whose expressions had changed drastically and continued indifferently,
"At this moment, the decisive battle between my Heaven's Path and the nine great sects of the righteous path is about to begin. In order to ensure that everyone is still loyal and will work for Heaven's Path, I'll have to ask you to bear the attack of the Life and Death Talisman!”
"Of course, as long as you are willing to accept the Life and Death Talisman, I guarantee you endless wealth and honor. Moreover, all your treatment will be increased by three times, and your children can come to the headquarters to cultivate the supreme secret technique of the Heaven Path! After making meritorious service, you can be rewarded according to your meritorious service!”
"Also, I promise that ten years after you plant the Life and Death Talisman, I will personally remove the seed of the Life and Death Talisman for you. How about it?”
After Dongfang Ao finished speaking, he looked at everyone quietly, especially the other higher-ups.
The ten elders, the flag bearers of the Seven-Star Banners, and the hall masters of the four internal halls all had different expressions.
There was hesitation, struggle, and an atmosphere, but most of it was cloudy and uncertain. No one knew what they were thinking.
On the other hand, the expressions of these higher-ups were very calm.
Perhaps, the Left Heavenly Messenger Ren Zizai's expression was the gloomiest. He also wanted the position of the sect master, but Dongfang Ao's strength had broken through to the grandmaster level, and then he had taken out this Life and Death Talisman, which completely ruined his plan.
But now, he couldn't be the first to refuse.
This was a good thing for the Heaven's Path, and it only controlled the middle and lower managers. It didn't affect the upper echelons.
He originally wanted to bite the bullet and refuse, but he was pulled back by the Right Heavenly Messenger, Nalan Xing, who slowly shook his head.
In the end, he could only sigh and retreat.
"Cult Master Bing, this subordinate is willing to accept the Life and Death Talisman. I hope that Cult Master will unify the martial world for thousands of generations!”
It was Wang Wenhu who had witnessed the change in Dongfang Ao's temperament last night. He knelt on the ground without hesitation.
Next was the Seven Star Banner Bearer. These seven people were all trained by the orphans that Tian Xingdao had collected from the martial world. They had also been trained in the army, so their loyalty to Tian Xingdao was very high.
Therefore, they knelt on the ground and willingly accepted the Life and Death Talismans.
"We will obey Cult Master's orders!"
"We will obey Cult Master's orders!"
Seeing that Wang Wenhu was the first to agree, a few elders who were close to Wang Wenhu also knelt on the ground.
"We will obey Cult Master's orders!"
In the end, the remaining few people were all close to Ren Zizai, the Left Envoy of the Heavenly Path, and they subconsciously looked at Ren Zizai. However, what answered them was Ren Zizai's slightly closed eyes.
"We will obey Cult Master's orders!"
In the end, these people had no choice but to kneel on the ground and willingly accept the control of the Life and Death Talisman!
"Very good!"
Dongfang Ao nodded slightly. With a wave of his hand, the dozen or so Life and Death Talismans shot out and instantly penetrated the skin of the dozen or so people before disappearing.
As for this group of people, they only felt a chill in their bodies for a moment. There was no change.
"In addition, inform the sect masters of the affiliated sects who are here to pay their respects to the old sect master.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Those sects that haven't come…send people to destroy them!”
"Yes, sir!"
Someone immediately agreed. Many people's expressions changed slightly. They were also secretly shocked by Dongfang Ao's generosity and cold-bloodedness!
Also, it seemed that the sect leaders of these affiliated sects couldn't escape the control of the Life and Death Talisman.
One must know that the Heaven's Path Sect was the number one sect in the world. Other than the tens of thousands of disciples under its direct control, it also secretly controlled more than a hundred small and medium-sized sects, with nearly a hundred thousand people.
However, it did not matter to them.
"In addition, I have another matter to inform you. After the old cult master's sacrificial ceremony, this cult master will personally…"
