At the end of the valley, Ji Hao forced Ji Xiao to face the Gold Black Mountains and kneel.
Ji Xiao tried to struggle and resist a few times, however, his magus acupoint were sealed and his physical strength was reduced by Qing Fu’s drug; he could never break away from Ji Hao’s control. He knelt down facing the Black Gold mountains, ten thousand miles away. His emotions stirred, he howled towards the sky in shame and anger
“Uncle Xiao, save the scream, it won’t help you” said Ji Hao, fiddling with a dagger, made of blood-jade. His fingers flicked rapidly and the dagger rotated quickly between his fingers; a circle of blood-red shadow appeared, which shone under the starlight.
“Since Grandpa Ji Zhuo is here, no one can save you. Both you and I know about his temper. Uncle Jie’s head was chopped off by Grandpa Ji Zhuo himself, when Jie fled from the battle against the Black Water Serpent Clan.” Ji Hao patted Ji Xiao’s shoulder and said in an honest tone, “the mistake you made is way more serious than fleeing from a battle.”
Ji Xiao gasped, and said with a trembling voice, “Hao, all this was because of Hu. Why did you kill him? Indeed, he tried to kill you…but couldn’t you just wound him and…warn him? Why did you have to kill him?”
“Because he didn’t show any mercy when he tried to kill me” said Ji Hao coldly, while staring at Ji Xiao with a mocking smile on the corners of his mouth. “My dear uncle, haven’t you realised? The issue between you and me is not because of Hu. In fact, Hu’s death was only an excuse that you gave to yourself. You’re young and strong, as long as you get yourself a couple more wives, you can have even a hundred sons.”
“The biggest issue between you and me is Ji Shu and Jiang Yao, who is supporting Ji Shu, and the entire Bi Fang Clan, who is supporting Jiang Yao!” Ji Hao looked into Ji Xiao’s faltering eyes and said word by word, “in the name of our ancestors’ souls, you should examine your own conscience and see if I’m telling the truth.”
Both of Ji Xiao’s arms were pushing against the ground and supporting his body, large amounts of sweat dripped down his forehead in streams. He breathed heavily and trembled intensely.
“I…Ji Shu…” Ji Xiao’s eyeballs slowly rotated in his eye sockets, losing focus. His healthy face was now deathly pale and darkened.
“Zhe!”
Ji Hao whispered the [Nine Secret Words] and locked his fingers together, then gently pressed his finger onto the area between Ji Xiao’s eyebrows. Ji Hao’s pupils changed to a golden-red colour; nine spell symbols slowly rotated around both of his pupils. An oddly powerful force capable of soul control was sent from Ji Hao’s pupils deep into Ji Xiao’s eyes.
Most of the Senior Magi in the Southern Wasteland neglected cultivating their souls. On the contrary, Maguspriests who concentrated on the practice of all kinds of magic sorceries, have always worked hard to nourish their souls through special and mystical methods; by doing so, they could slowly increase their spiritual power and use it to cast all kinds of magic sorceries. Maguspriests capable of communicating with gods, ghosts, and other mysterious beings, could only slowly improve their souls with all of their efforts; not to mention Senior Magi like Ji Xiao, who had never even attempted to improve the power of his soul. Although Ji Xiao also has a relatively powerful soul, the power of his soul was only nourished by his own Senior Magus blood, thus he could only rely on his strengthened body. The level of his soul and spiritual power were no better than the soul and spiritual power of three-year-old Ji Hao.
At this time, Ji Xiao was already hopeless; the power of his soul scattered, which allowed Ji Hao to easily take control of his mind.
“Uncle, the mistake you made is unforgivable. You have to die. Why don’t you tell me what you know before that? Why must Ji Shu take the position of commander from my Abba? What is he planning? Just tell me everything you know!”
Ji Xiao slightly quivered, eyes staring without focus. Following the soft voice of Ji Hao, he slowly opened his mouth.
Ji Hao controlled Ji Xiao’s soul carefully, digging out all the secrets buried within Ji Xiao’s heart. Gradually, Ji Hao’s facial expression turned strange. Did Ji Shu try everything to get the position of commander for this? thought Ji Hao.
“No wonder Ji Mu knew those slave dealers before. They really are old friends. Damn Ji Shu, you surely found yourself a good way to earn a fortune!”
