I Am Overlord

involuntarily.
Xu Ziyang was so frightened his entire body trembled.
He wanted to break free, but Xiang Shaoyun's leg felt like a mountain that was keeping him completely rooted.

He was still in disbelief over the terrifying combat prowess the young man had.
Was this young man actually a Soul Foundation Realm expert? He shouldn't have been able to defeat the both of them so easily otherwise.

”Stop struggling, and don't worry.
I'm not killing you.
I still need you to go back and mislead the Dragon Society for me, ” said Xiang Shaoyun with a smirk.

He then chanted and sent numerous ancient symbols toward Xu Ziyang's head.
Soon, Xu Ziyang fell under his complete control.
Nobody could see the symbols, and the only thing they saw was Xiang Shaoyun staring at Xu Ziyang for a bit before releasing him.

”You know what to say after returning, right? ” asked Xiang Shaoyun calmly.

”Yes, master.
Lin Ha was killed by bandits.
His death has nothing to do with you and the Cloud Margin Pavilion, ” said Xu Ziyang deferentially.

In the past, Xiang Shaoyun had needed to exert great effort to instill subservience in his puppets, but he no longer needed to in this case.
His soul power was far beyond Xu Ziyang's.
As Xu Ziyang was now under Xiang Shaoyun's control, he wouldn't dare to think of betrayal, or he wouldn't be able to escape death.

”Um.
Return obediently.
You may keep your life, ” said Xiang Shaoyun as he patted Xu Ziyang's shoulder like he was talking to his servant.

After giving Xiang Shaoyun a respectful bow, Xu Ziyang left.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They had no idea what had happened to Xu Ziyang, who was still so arrogant just a short while ago.
Had he submitted to Xiang Shaoyun out of pure fear? That did not seem possible, and it was also unlikely that Xiang Shaoyun would actually release him so easily.

Unfortunately, the people present were too weak to see what had actually happened.
They would never have guessed that Xu Ziyang had fallen under Xiang Shaoyun's control so quickly.
Their confusion did not stop them from greatly admiring Xiang Shaoyun.
That was especially true for the younger disciples who were now viewing Xiang Shaoyun as their idol.

They loved that domineering feeling he exuded, and they wished to be as powerful as him.
Only with such strength would they be able to suppress all opponents and capture the hearts of the ones they loved.
Many of the Cloud Margin Pavilion's female disciples were completely infatuated with Xiang Shaoyun.

”He is too handsome and is much better than that egoistical Lin Ha.
No wonder Senior Sister Qinyin waited so long for him.
He is a perfect man, and I love him. ”

”You're right, but too bad the gap between us and him is too wide.
We can only watch on as a perfect man like him brushes past us. ”

”Wu, wu, I really like him.
I am losing control over myself, and I'm scared that I won't get to see him anymore after this.
I'm also scared that I will compare him to every other man I meet in the future.
He is too domineering. ”

”He is like the son of heaven.
Regular women like us won't be able to have him.
Only an extraordinary woman like Senior Sister Qinyin is worthy of standing alongside him.
Let's just wish them happiness. ”

…

At a certain corner, an incredibly beautiful woman was watching on as everything happened.
Tears dripped down her eyes as she turned and walked away while whispering, ”I wish you happiness. ”
