Jiang Xie very staunchly defended the dignity of a Martial King!

“Fine.”

Jun Changxiao completely lost patience with him. He raised his right hand and retrieved the piping hot Recruitment Token from his spatial ring.

“Kekeke.”

Seeing the token carved with the two characters “Recruit,” Jiang Xie laughed strangely and said, “Boy, what kind of act are you putting on?”

“Be recruited.” Jun Changxiao said indifferently.

Whoosh!

The two characters “Recruit” on the token flashed with white light, instantly shooting out a beam that accurately penetrated into the space between Jiang Xie’s brows.

Gah.

His smile suddenly froze.

Be recruited… be recruited… be recruited…

Voices continuously echoed in his ears. Jiang Xie’s expression gradually became ferocious.

An irresistible force inside his body spread madly, beginning to manipulate his thoughts, forcing him to lower his noble head.

Finally, unwillingly and reluctantly, he said through gritted teeth, “Servant Jiang Xie pays respects to Master!”

He swore he didn’t want to say this, but his thoughts and mouth just blurted it out uncontrollably!

Liu Wanshi’s eyes filled with astonishment.

Just moments ago he had been staunchly telling her that the Iron Bones Sect was trash and couldn’t accommodate a great god like him. How had he suddenly turned around to call himself a servant and pay respects to his master!

That’s right!

He had just said that if he submitted, he would take the Sect Master’s surname. From now on, wouldn’t he have to be called Jun Xie?

Jiang Xie hadn’t considered whether he would be surnamed Jiang or Jun in the future. Instead, he roared in his heart, “Can someone tell me what the hell is going on!”

“Clank clank!”

The chains were removed, granting him freedom.

Jiang Xie really wanted to raise his weak and powerless hands to slap his own face, but instead made a cupped-fist gesture and said with difficulty, “Thank you, Master!”

Thank you my ass!

Those aren’t the words I wanted to say at all!

In that moment, Jiang Xie’s thoughts were extremely clear, but there was just a special force compelling him—he had to obey Jun Changxiao’s commands!

This was the Recruitment Token from the mall.

No matter how staunchly proud you were, no matter if you were a Martial King—

As long as you were bound by the recruitment force, you could only obey the user’s every command, no reasoning about it.

Unfortunately, it couldn’t erase rebellious thoughts—it could only forcibly control.

Even though Jiang Xie now had no choice but to obey Jun Changxiao, he was still unconvinced in his heart.

This was—obtaining my body but not obtaining my soul!

Jun Changxiao didn’t care.

As long as the other party obeyed his commands, even for just a short month, he was confident he could reform him and make him willingly become his servant.

“Come on then.”

Jun Changxiao sat on a chair, crossed his legs, and said, “Tell me everything about the Magic Evil Sect targeting my Iron Bones Sect, from beginning to end.”

In the past, Jiang Xie definitely wouldn’t have spoken!

But with the special force controlling his body and thoughts, he blurted it all out.

He spoke very clearly and in great detail.

It left him puzzled—since when had he become so smooth at organizing language?

From Jiang Xie’s mouth, Jun Changxiao learned this was a mission issued by the Great Helm Master of the Southwest Yang Province Branch—to destroy the Iron Bones Sect and retrieve the Artifact Spirit Blade.

But…

He frowned and said, “That’s all?”

“I’ve always been secluded in Jiang Family Town and don’t understand branch matters.”

Jiang Xie was crying inside.

He really didn’t want to say these words, but he just couldn’t control his own mouth!

“Oh?”

Jun Changxiao said with surprise, “Why did you seclude yourself in Jiang Family Town?”

For an incredibly impressive Martial King to not properly enjoy high-level treatment but instead seclude himself in a town—this was definitely someone with a story.

“Because that’s my home.” Jiang Xie said with difficulty.

“Home?”

Jun Changxiao clasped his hands together and said, “Please tell me your story.”

Jiang Xie’s story was very complicated. He had never told anyone before, to the point where even the Great Helm Master didn’t fully understand his past.

Now, under the control of the recruitment force, starting from his childhood, he spoke of the sister he had lost contact with, and also spoke of why he had secluded himself in Jiang Family Town.

After listening, Liu Wanshi wiped her tears and said, “Big Brother, you’re so pitiful!”

Jiang Xie remained silent.

Having spoken out about his past, though he was angry, his suppressed state of mind also received a bit of release.

Jun Changxiao thought to himself, “I thought he was a Magic Evil Sect disciple. Turns out he’s just temporarily affiliated with them, borrowing their intelligence network to find his relatives.”

“This person has considerable strength and isn’t truly evil. Host can try recruiting him as a sect elder!” The System recommended.

Jun Changxiao said, “Great minds think alike.”

After learning Jiang Xie’s story, he really did have the thought of recruiting him and appointing him as an elder. After all, a Martial King was qualified for this position.

“The facts prove…”

Jun Changxiao said, “Even affiliated with the Magic Evil Sect, you still haven’t found your own sister. In the end, you’ve instead become their killing tool.”

Jiang Xie smiled bitterly and said, “I suppose we’re mutually using each other.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Have you considered changing your method to search for your sister?”

“What method?” Jiang Xie said.

Just asking casually, yet his eyes flashed with a light of hope, making Jun Changxiao certain that his sister held an extremely important position in his heart!

This was his weak point.

Since he now knew this, if he couldn’t persuade him, what kind of sect master would he be? What kind of transmigrator would he be?

Jun Changxiao leaned forward and said, “Join my Iron Bones Sect, become one of us, and this Lord will help you find the relative you’ve been separated from for many years.”

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Xie would definitely say disdainfully, “Even third-rate sects can’t do it, how could a trash sect find her?”

Limited by the controlling force, he said with difficulty, “Master can help me find my sister?”

Jun Changxiao said, “You probably think this Lord is lying. In fact, on the Falling Star Continent, things others can’t accomplish, I, Jun Changxiao, can accomplish.”

“For example…” He paused and said, “You’re a Martial King with a strong will. Why have you submitted to this Lord?”

These words made Jiang Xie fall silent.

He still had independent thinking ability and kept wondering—clearly he wasn’t convinced by him, so why couldn’t he control himself and had to submit to him!

Some kind of evil technique?

Impossible, impossible.

Though he wasn’t the most orthodox evil cultivation practitioner, he had been in contact with such people plenty. He had never heard of any evil technique that could forcibly control others!

“Of course.”

Jun Changxiao stood up and said, “This alone won’t convince you. Consume this pill, and you should completely realize this Lord’s extraordinary nature.”

With that, he tossed over a middle-grade healing pill.

This was a command. Even though Jiang Xie was unwilling, after catching the pill, he directly consumed it.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The medicinal effect took hold. His damaged meridians rapidly healed.

Even his skin that had been bombarded and burned… instantly recovered as well in the blink of an eye!

“This…”

Jiang Xie’s gaze filled with shock.

He had quite a few pills for healing injuries in his spatial ring, but pills that worked this rapidly after consumption—he had never seen such a thing before!

But he had heard of them!

Jiang Xie said in disbelief, “Could the pill Master gave me be a healing pill refined by the Ai Family?”

That’s not right though!

According to the information he knew, those pills were only limited to low levels and couldn’t treat Martial King level injuries!

Jun Changxiao said, “The pills this Lord has are one grade higher than the Ai Family’s healing pills.”

“……”

Jiang Xie’s mouth twitched.

Since when had pills that rapidly healed injuries become so widespread?

Or had he been secluded for too long and become ignorant of outside affairs?
