Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 76's. Executing Plan
Before his words were finished, Lin Yu's body swayed and fell to the floor. As he fell, his eyes widened in disbelief until the end of his life, he could not imagine what kind of courage Zhang En had actually killed him in Death City.
"Third Brother!"
"Third Brother!!"
Gao Qing and Qu Honggang looked on dejectedly as Lin Yu's body fell to the floor. But just as they released a shock that left them silent, both of them had ugly expressions on their faces as they dashed to Lin Yu's side and cried at him.
Regardless of how many times they shouted, there was no reaction whatsoever from Lin Yu.
From elsewhere, Zhang En slowly walked towards them, causing them to stumble backwards in fear.
After their previous assault, the two knew full well that they were powerless to escape from Zhang En's clutches what else was escaping.
“Why don't the two of you kneel down, bow to the Young Master?!” Du Xin and Deng Guangliang stepped towards them and gave orders to Gao Qing and Wu Honggang.
Doubt and fear flashed across the faces of Gao Qing and Wu Honggang. Did they really have no other choice but to give up on Zhang En?.
But, the consequence of betraying the Sky Mage Sect was on the stamp as a Sect traitor.
On the other hand, if they did not submit this very moment, it was definitely the death they would encounter. Accidentally, their eyes turned to Lin Yu's cold body on the floor not far away, whereas Zhang En was still waiting patiently to hear their decision.
"Well, I agree to submit as well as serve you as master!" Not long after, Gao Qing spoke with a hint of hesitation. In the end, he chose to submit to Zhang En, he chose to live.
Wu Honggang watched as Gao Qing surrendered, his theft becoming unsteady. Sighing softly in his heart, he said the same words "I'm willing to give up too."
"Open up your sea of souls, I'll mark the soul marks inside." Zhang En stated without further ado.
"Give me a soul mark!" Gao Qing and Wu Honggang were shocked and frightened.
Techniques like stamping one's soul, Gao Qing and Wu Honggang only heard it in passing. For some reason, their eyes turned to Du Xin and Deng Guangliang, at this moment, they finally understood why to their two senior brothers serving Zhang En willingly.
"Right, I also branded their sea of souls with soul marks." Realizing their expressions Zhang En gave an explanation.
At first, Gao Qing and Wu Honggang had the same thoughts as Du Xin and Deng Guangliang had. First pretend to submit to Zhang En and then look for a chance later to deal with him. If they were branded with soul marks, their lives would be controlled by that young man at all times. At that time, they had no other choice but to serve Zhang En.
Although many thoughts swirled in their minds, in the end, both Gao Qing and Wu Honggang lowered their spiritual defenses and opened their sea of souls. When the two of them removed the barrier protecting their sea of souls in front of Zhang En, combining the Soul Mandate and the Art of Control of Ancient Puppets, Zhang En then marked their souls.
At this stage, Gao Qing and Wu Honggang were completely under Zhang En's control. When the soul marking process was completed, Zhang En secretly felt relieved. If the three of them refused to give up, he had no choice but to kill the three of them. This is not what he wants.
After stamped their sea of souls, Zhang En then gave each of them a high grade cultivation pill. Seeing the pill in their palms, Gao Qing and Wu Honggang were extremely excited, quickly kowtowing in their gratitude for Zhang En's gift to the two of them.
Zhang En then instructed his four to deal with Lin Yu's corpse and some other matters, he told Gao Qing and Wu Honggang to return.
"I think I should speed up my plan." Zhang En thought to himself.
Zhang En told Gao Qing and Wu Honggang to make a blur of events over Lin Yu's death, telling outsiders that Lin Yu went on a mission, and probably won't be back in two short months. This way, Chen Xiaotian would not feel suspicious for now, but if the time dragged on for too long, it was inevitable for Chen Xiaotian to see that something was amiss.
Hence, Zhang En had to control the other Sect Elders within these two months, including Geng Ken!
At that time, even if Chen Xiaotian had known what had already happened, Chen Xiaotian himself would not be able to do anything anymore.
Five days later, Zhang En's spiritual power returned to its peak state. Then Zhang En told Du Xin and Deng Guangliang to hold another banquet and invited the Elders of the other Sky Mage Sect.
Du Xin and Deng Guangliang were Chen Xiaotian's oldest disciple and second disciple, therefore, in the Sky Mage Sect, both of them had an honorable standing. Their invitation was received Sect Elders who received an invitation to come to attend the banquet.
Their invitation did not raise the suspicion of the other Sky Mage Sect Elders. However, Zhang En limited the number of each invitation he would meet.
Relying on his current spiritual strength, Zhang En could only mark three people at the same time.
Twenty days later, including the other four people, Du Xin, Deng Guangliang, Gao Qing, and Wu Honggang, Zhang En managed to stamp the souls of the eighteen Elders of the Sky Mage Sect. Overall, the Sky Mage Sect had twenty-four Elders, with eighteen subjecting to him, Zhang En had managed seventy percent control over most of the Sky Mage Sect.
"Ten more days, I can completely subdue all the Elders of the Sky Mage Sect under my control." Zhang En.

On the north side of Death City, stood a magnificent palace building that was many times larger than Du Xin and Deng Guangliang's house. The four walls were fiery red and many large, fiery-red flowers bloomed around the building.
Inside the grand hall of the Palace residence, sat a small-bodied old man wearing luxurious brocade in the color of embers. This little old man was none other than the Great Elder of the Sky Mage Sect, Geng Ken. A dwarf old man who looked very simple.
"You said recently, every three to five days, Du Xin and Deng Guangliang would hold a banquet and invite the three elders of our sect?" Geng Ken asked the Heavenly Witch Sect Elder, Wang Jing, beside him.
“Yes, that's right Grand Elder.” Wang Jing affirmed respectfully.
Ken's Gang's brows furrowed, "What's their purpose in doing that?"
Wang Jing laughed, “In two more months is the day that our Sky Mage Sect chooses a representative to enter the Mage Tomb. In my opinion, both of them were just trying to woo support, hoping to get help at the time. What tricks can they do?"
Geng Ken shook his head, “I have a hunch that disturbs my mind that it's not as simple as you think. Try to find out more, what these two people talked about with the elders they invited.”
“Yes, Great Elder!” Wang Jing acknowledged it with great respect.
“Du Xin and Deng Guangliang had already invited eighteen people, remaining six more people,” the voice of Geng Ke sounded serious, “If it is not wrong, five days later, they will invite three more people. When they do, you have to report it to me immediately."
“Great elder, are you planning to?” Wang Jing ventured to ask carefully.
A sharp light shone in Geng Ken's eyes, "I want to do what I'm supposed to do and ascertain what really happened."

Five days later passed quickly.
Zhang En came out from the Temple of the God Mountain. His recent training as well as cultivation greatly strengthened his spiritual strength as well as purifying his Qi Energy.
Moreover, Zhang En's Demonic God Dragon Sword Technique had finally broken through to the fourth stage. Out of the God Mountain, Zhang En started using the Demonic God Dragon Technique and in the middle of his forehead suddenly appeared a vertical slit and his eyes showed the brightest blood red colored eyes.
"Heaven Eyes"
Zhang En scanned the surroundings with these new eyes and everything within the mansion was clearly visible within his vision. Even the scene behind the dozens of stone walls was clearly visible in his eyes.
