Chapter 391: Guarantee & Soul Imprint

Chapter 391: Guarantee & Soul Imprint

"What guarantees me that you are going to stay loyal to me and are not just going to stab me on the back. After all, with my strength at the moment I am just a little chicken in your hands."

The two men were startled as they didn't expect such an answer, they were giving their lives, and loyalty to him. They had never thought that he would doubt them.

Unhappy at the distrust, and at such words, one of those said in a serious and harsh voice,

"Young Master Jayden, we are men of our words, and our words value our weight in gold."

But the Young Master in front of them didn't seem to be affected by those words, as he just looked at them calmly, and said in a clear voice,

"Haven't you already given your words to the Old Man? How does this work!? If I were to order you to kill the Old Man would you do it?"

As soon as his words came out of his mouth, the two guards were startled as they both jumped with their words and attitudes,

"Young Master, you"

But they weren't able to continue as they were stopped mid tracks by their Young Master,

"Precisely because of this I cannot trust you! In the path I am walking forward there is no space for mistakes and blind trust.

Who knows what the future might hold, I, as a person have no idea. For that reason, I need to be prepared as well as I can.

Now tell me, what guarantee do I have for your loyalty?"

The two guards didn't know what to say anymore, as their Young Master was correct. They were lost in both ways.

If they said that they were going to work by his side, listen only to him, and kill the old man, they would already have broken their word once towards the Old Man.

If they said that they couldn't do it and that it was impossible because they had already given their word, then they were openly disobeying him.

It was a crossroads, where both ways sent one towards his failure. They had never thought things so far away, as in their head it was already a big decision to stay by his side.

They had thought that their Young Master would jump in excitement and enthusiasm at their words, and not question them like this.

The two of them had already decided to work for their Young Master, and wouldn't back down now. It wasn't only for his killing intent, and the body tempering liquid, but for the air around him.

Right now, their Young Master had the aura of a ruler surrounding him, something that they had only faintly felt it with the old man.

Not to mention that if this bet of theirs succeeded their position would be really high, since they would become two of the most trusted aides of their Master.

They would be with him when he walked his first steps, and this would give them a huge advantage for the future, not only to them but also to their kids, and families.

With those thoughts in mind, they both almost said at the same time,

"What guarantee Master wants?"

They even started calling him Master, to show that they had already accepted him as their new Master and that from now on they would serve under him.

Satisfied with the fact that this proceeded rather quick, Tianlong Yun looked at them with a calm and observing eye, as he said,

"Pretty simple actually, let me place a small soul imprint in your souls!"

Hearing that the two men were truly surprised, and angered, as Old Huo said in a solemn and harsh voice while pointing at him,

"Master are you trying to turn us into slaves!? We promised you our loyalty and you ask for us to become lowly slaves?"

Tianlong Yun had been expecting something like this, but still, he pretended to get angry, as he said in an angry loud voice,

"What crap are you spouting Old Man, did I say anything like that!? I am forgiving you since you don't know about this, but never dare to talk to me like that, and point towards me!

That is if you want to live!"

His words shocked the two guards as he seemed like an angry death god at those moments, one that no one would dare to agitate.

He intentionally even released a bit of his killing intent to make them feel his presence, even more, he was trying to show that he wasn't just a wimpy little kid, or at least that Jayden wasn't.

Nobody dared to talk anymore, as they were all concentrated on him. On the other hand, Tianlong Yun took a deep breath as he calmed down, and continued,

"What I asked is to place a small soul print in your soul avatars, that won't make you my slaves, as you will have your free will, and continue to be the same person with all the freedom you have.

The soul imprint I am going to place on you is more like a small sleepy bomb. Normally it is useless and doesn't even occupy space, but if you betray me I can kill you both with one thought!"

At first, Old Huo wanted to argue with him, as he had never thought that something like this was possible, but then he heard Tianlong Yun continue,

"if you don't trust me, let me do it in one of you, and if it's not like I said, you can go ahead and take my life!"

He was betting with his own life, then he was either a crazy and mental person, or that much confidence in himself.

His death would also solve the problem of slaving as the slaves would be released from the seal. There was no other option for the two men besides to accept that soul imprint.

A bit frightened, or to be more exact a bit dissatisfied, and susceptible, the other guard, who would most probably go first, said in a kind of sad voice,

"Master, don't you think you are being a bit rough of us?"

Looking at him as if he had heard a joke, Tianlong Yun said in a calm, but clear voice,

"Didn't you too just promised your loyalty to me, saying that you would live and die by my words? Now I am just asking for insurance for you, only in case you betray me.

Yet you say I am being rough with you! Tell me why should I believe in your loyalty, and words, when you change your mind like a woman changes her hat!?"

These words caught the old skinny man by surprise. The fact was that he had lived for so long, and didn't feel comfortable with his life being in the hands of a kid.

In his eyes, Jayden was just a little kid and nothing more. He had decided to be by his side to benefit as much as he could, hoping that soon they would return by the Old Man's side.

This guy's words made even Old Huo's face a bit red because he was supposed to be his friend, and a man of word, and loyal.

But with those words, even those little values of loyalty that he might want to protect were gone. They had no other choice but to take the soul imprint.

With these thoughts on his mind, he turned towards his new Master, and said in a solemn tone,

"I accept your soul imprint Master, and I am ready to try it first!"

With that said, even though with a bit of difficulty, he managed to lower down all his mental defenses, and allow his new Master to place the soul imprint.

Tianlong Yun didn't falter, or think it twice, as he immediately did what he had to do. He entered the conscious sea of Old Huo and seeing his soul avatar he placed a small soul imprint on his soul avatar.

Even though Tianlong Yun's and Old Huo's cultivations were about the same, Tianlong Yun's soul cultivation was higher.

Especially after absorbing the two partial souls, he had gathered, he felt like he was slowly advancing towards the new level.

For that reason, he was able to flawlessly disguise his soul power, by mimicking that of Jayden Smith, and the Old Man or his soul avatar didn't doubt a thing.

It didn't take long for the soul imprint to be activated, as it entered inside the soul avatar, and just like he had said, it had almost disappeared.

Old Huo wouldn't feel its presence, and no one else observing his consciousness sea would be able to find it, as long as his soul cultivation was the same or lower than Tianlong Yun's.

That small thing was harmless and useless as it only stayed around for one purpose, and Old Huo could feel that.

But if that little thing was activated, then it would start growing like a tumor using the soul avatar itself, and finally, explode by destroying even the soul.

Everything was over in a short moment, as both Tianlong Yun, and Old Huo opened their eyes and looked at each other with understanding.

Whatever Tianlong Yun had said was true, and there were no problems with it, and to demonstrate this, Tianlong Yun said in an ordering tone,

"Kick your friend's ass!"

Old Huo could understand what Tianlong Yun was trying to do, and said in a calm voice,

"In your dreams Master!"

This clearly showed that Tianlong Yun had no effect on his will and that the soul imprint was completely safe.

This way there was no more objection from the other guard as he also abided to the same treatment, and took the soul imprint.

Satisfied with this, Tianlong Yun was now thinking about his hunt in the coming days
