Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 214: Does the Demon Emperor Technique Affect the Mind?

Lin Fengmian applied the combat techniques he had just comprehended and dispatched his opponents even more quickly than before.

These teams were clearly divided, with members of similar strength, but they were no match for him.

Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but smile. “This Demon Emperor Technique is quite helpful in battle. I feel completely relaxed and my mind is exceptionally clear.”

Luo Xue couldn’t help but marvel at how the Demon Emperor Technique had transformed the originally average Lin Fengmian into a martial arts genius.

Or perhaps, this guy had always had a talent for combat; he just hadn’t realized it himself.

After all, cultivation techniques could only increase one’s strength. If one had nothing to begin with, no amount of enhancement would make a difference.

Seeing Lin Fengmian slaughter his opponents like a wolf among tigers, Elder Huang and the others couldn’t help but feel a chill of fear.

They said that there’s a fine line between a genius and a madman, but this guy looked more and more like a madman.

What chilled them the most was that he would deliberately wait for his opponents to send out distress signals before killing them.

“Lord Ye, why don’t you just kill them outright?” Ye Ling asked with a frown.

“If I kill him outright, where will I find someone to practice on? It’s only in the face of life and death that one can grow rapidly,” Lin Fengmian said with a slight smile.

His smile was so innocent and pure, and Luo Xue’s clear eyes made the few people in the arena feel a chill run down their spines.

He’s a madman, a madman who takes pleasure in killing.

Guan Ming looked at the bodies on the ground and then noticed a few more people in the forest, swallowing hard.

Ye Ling also looked frightened, her eyes filled with a strange expression, and she looked at Lin Fengmian with a mixture of fear and caution.

“Lin Fengmian, your condition is off. It seems like you’re being controlled by the Demon Emperor Technique!”

Luo Xue was the first to notice that something was wrong. She could sense that Lin Fengmian was truly enjoying the feeling of killing.

Lin Fengmian was stunned for a moment, then he looked at the blood-stained longsword in his hand and frowned. “I’m being controlled by the Demon Emperor Technique?”

“This cultivation technique can affect the mind? But I feel that this joy is coming from my heart.”

Luo Xue’s tone was serious. “Some cultivation techniques can affect a person’s mind, and your Demon Emperor Technique is undoubtedly one of the most powerful.”

“Before, your cultivation level was low, so you didn’t notice it. But when you started killing, your mindset started to change, and that’s very abnormal.”

Lin Fengmian fell silent for a moment, then began to examine his own heart and realized that he might indeed be influenced by the Demon Emperor Technique.

After a brief hesitation, he asked, “Is there any way to free myself from the influence of the technique?”

“The only way is to give up that technique and cultivate another one.”

Luo Xue thought for a moment and suggested, “Why don’t you give up this cultivation technique and switch to another, more ordinary one? Although it might have less power, it should still be sufficient.”

Lin Fengmian smiled bitterly and asked, “Luo Xue, isn’t the Demon Emperor Technique very powerful?”

“Yes, Master said that this technique is quite extraordinary. From what I’ve seen, it’s no worse than the Qionghua Sword Technique,” Luo Xue replied honestly.

“Then let’s leave it as it is. After all, I’ll only be using it in this world, and that way I’ll have a better grasp of it,” Lin Fengmian said with a smile.

“But…”

Before Luo Xue could continue, Lin Fengmian interrupted, “If we die here, everything will be over.”

“We are trying to kill a Sword Saint. We can’t miss any opportunity to increase our strength.”

Luo Xue fell silent. Then she recited a mantra to Lin Fengmian: “When you feel yourself losing control, silently recite this Clear Mind Mantra to prevent the cultivation technique from dominating you.”

Lin Fengmian memorized it and then controlled his killing intent, continuing to fly forward.

At noon, Jun Yunshang suddenly took out the jade disk. The disk emitted a bright light and quickly projected a virtual image of a mountain and river landscape into the air.

This was a miniature representation of the Junyan Empire, though it appeared extremely small due to the vast area it covered.

At the center of the projection was a large golden sphere, which was undoubtedly the capital of the Junyan Empire.

Surrounding the orb were seven bright stars, one of which glowed green, indicating their current position.

The other stars were all several thousand miles away, and some were even tens of thousands of miles away.

Jun Yunshang looked sad and said, “Fifteenth Brother is gone. Why do we have to fight to the death?”

The disappearance of a star meant that the corresponding prince had fallen and his bloodline had been wiped out.

Lin Fengmian, who didn’t know the prince, naturally didn’t feel any special emotions. He only focused on the two stars closest to him.

One of them was blocking their path, most likely their next opponent.

“Princess Yunshang, could you please introduce these two?”

Jun Yunshang composed herself and said, “The one blocking our path is my fourteenth brother, Jun Jueli. All the people we encountered were sent by him.”

“So it’s him!”

A flash of killing intent crossed Lin Fengmian’s eyes. He then looked at Jun Yunshang and asked, “Does your 14th brother have a grudge against you? Why is he the only one causing trouble for you, when so many others aren’t?”

Jun Yunshang hesitated for a moment before stammering, “Not exactly an enemy, it’s just… his goal isn’t to kill me.”

“If he’s not an enemy, then why did he send so many people to chase you?” Lin Fengmian asked in confusion.

“young Master Ye, it’s a long story. The point is, I can’t fall into his hands,” Jun Yunshang did not want to elaborate.

Lin Fengmian sighed in exasperation and said, “Alright, what about the one up ahead?”

“The one in front is my Ninth Imperial Sister. We are quite far behind her, so we probably won’t meet her,” Jun Yunshang replied.

Lin Fengmian smiled and said, “That’s not necessarily true.”

Jun Yunshang was surprised, “You want to catch up with her?”

Lin Fengmian smiled proudly, “Of course. If we want to reach Junlin City within a month, we can’t keep lagging behind and eating dust.”

After all, he still had to go out and kill your father.

From the situation with the Heaven-Soaring Sword Saint, this guy was probably planning to select an heir and then spare no expense in cultivating them, eventually passing on his position as the Sword Saint.

Lin Fengmian couldn’t let him pass on that position, or who knows where he would go to pass it on.

The group continued their journey. By the time they reached the small town, Lin Fengmian had already killed numerous cultivators, and his aura had grown stronger.

However, not far from the city gates, they encountered another obstacle.

A group of over a hundred people stood there, led by a middle-aged man in armor, his eyes dark and menacing, clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Seeing the change in Elder Huang and the others’ expressions, Lin Fengmian leaned forward and asked, “Who is he?”

“Zhang Biao, one of the ten powerful generals of the fourteen princes, a mid-stage Soul Severing Realm cultivator. I didn’t expect him to send such a formidable force!” Elder Huang’s face was grim.

Lin Fengmian understood, a mid-stage Soul Severing Realm cultivator was indeed quite formidable!

Luo Xue also warned, “This guy’s aura is very robust. He’s different from the ones you’ve faced before; he’s a tough opponent.”
