Chapter 271: Chapter 269: Master
Hearing Jiang Chen’s words and looking at that smile of his.
Wen Quan felt his scalp go numb, a chill creeping up from the soles of his feet.
Although he didn’t know what Jiang Chen was planning, the fact that he dared to infiltrate the City Lord’s Mansion tonight meant he had to have come prepared.
He might even have come specifically to deal with him.
The very thought filled him with terror.
Worse, his Cultivation was now sealed, rendering him completely powerless.
He hurriedly began to beg for mercy again.
"Jiang Chen, I know I was wrong."
"Please, let me go. I’ll do anything—I’ll work for you like an animal."
’Right now, all he wanted was to swallow his pride and survive. He could think about everything else later.’
’As for revenge, he could think about that after he escaped. For now, staying alive was all that mattered.’
Jiang Chen was unmoved. He extended his hand, and a green Elixir appeared in his palm.
The green Elixir was enveloped in a golden halo that even shimmered with a hint of purple-gold light. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Looking at the Elixir in his hand, Jiang Chen was very satisfied.
"This is the Cyan Silkworm Pill I prepared for you."
Jiang Chen looked at Wen Quan.
Wen Quan was scared out of his wits. Though he didn’t know what the Cyan Silkworm Pill did, he was certain it meant him no good.
He fell into despair, on the verge of tears from sheer terror.
"Jiang Chen, show some mercy."
"What does this Pill do?"
"What are its effects?"
He tried to look as pathetic as possible, hoping to soften Jiang Chen’s heart.
Jiang Chen said to the Martial King Expert, "He’ll find out once he’s eaten it."
"Open his mouth."
The Martial King Expert pried open Wen Quan’s mouth.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen tossed the Cyan Silkworm Pill straight into Wen Quan’s mouth.
Without giving Wen Quan any chance to resist, the Cyan Silkworm Pill immediately shot down his throat.
Only then did the Martial King Expert release Wen Quan.
Wen Quan panicked, his face a mask of terror.
He had no idea what effects the Elixir he’d just swallowed would have, and the unknown is always the most terrifying.
After forcing Wen Quan to swallow the Cyan Silkworm Pill, Jiang Chen had the Martial King Expert release him.
The two of them stood to one side.
Wen Quan stumbled and fell to the ground.
Just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly felt a strange sensation manifest inside him.
It felt as if another person had taken up residence in his body.
BOOM!
At that moment, a vast wave of Soul Power, coalescing into the form of a cyan silkworm, rushed toward his soul.
"What?"
"Damn it, what is this thing?"
Wen Quan was utterly horrified; his soul sensed it was the soul of a silkworm approaching his own.
At the same time, the Cyan Silkworm’s soul began shooting out threads of white silk toward his own soul.
Like a spider’s web, they were attempting to ensnare his soul.
"Aah! Help me! Help...!"
Wen Quan was truly terrified now.
The moment his soul detected the Cyan Silkworm’s soul, it sensed an immense threat.
It began to tremble in fear, trying desperately to flee.
But the Cyan Silkworm’s soul was exceptionally strange; it continuously spat out white silk threads that formed a web, wrapping around Wen Quan’s soul.
No matter how Wen Quan’s soul struggled to escape, it was impossible. There was nowhere to hide.
As he trembled in terror, Wen Quan’s soul was finally, completely cocooned in the white threads spun by the Cyan Silkworm.
Then, the Cyan Silkworm opened its mouth and began to devour Wen Quan’s soul, bite by bite.
Watching Wen Quan on the floor, whose body was now trembling nonstop.
Convulsing.
Jiang Chen knew. The soul of the Cyan Silkworm from the Pill was beginning to devour Wen Quan’s soul.
Once Wen Quan’s soul was devoured, the Cyan Silkworm would possess all of his memories.
The Cyan Silkworm itself would even evolve in the process.
The soul is a Martial Cultivator’s greatest vulnerability, and silkworms are born with naturally powerful souls.
Therefore, it wasn’t particularly difficult for the Cyan Silkworm to devour Wen Quan’s soul.
It just needed a bit of time.
Within Wen Quan’s consciousness, his soul was like a meal, disappearing bit by bit as the Cyan Silkworm consumed it.
With every bite, the Cyan Silkworm’s soul grew stronger.
After a while, Wen Quan’s soul was finally devoured completely by the Cyan Silkworm.
The Cyan Silkworm’s soul was now more than double its original size.
In the physical world, Jiang Chen waited.
PUFF!
Wen Quan’s convulsing body suddenly went still.
He lay there, perfectly still.
Seemingly, he was completely dead.
"A perfect consumption."
Jiang Chen was very satisfied. He was mentally linked with the Cyan Silkworm, so he knew its soul had finished devouring Wen Quan’s.
After a while, Wen Quan’s seemingly dead body suddenly began to move again.
His fingers and feet began to twitch.
The movements seemed extremely difficult.
After a period of jerky movements, Wen Quan actually managed to slowly climb to his feet.
"President, be careful."
Seeing Wen Quan "alive" again, the Martial King Expert quickly moved to stand in front of Jiang Chen.
On guard against Wen Quan.
But Jiang Chen just smiled. "It’s fine. He’s not Wen Quan anymore. No need to worry."
The Martial King Expert froze, still unable to comprehend Jiang Chen’s methods.
Jiang Chen, however, was full of confidence. He walked right up to Wen Quan.
He said coolly, "Get used to this body. Quickly."
Wen Quan nodded. "Yes... Mas... ter..."
The words came out haltingly from Wen Quan’s mouth.
This wasn’t the real Wen Quan, but the Cyan Silkworm.
The Cyan Silkworm had now devoured Wen Quan’s soul and taken possession of his body.
The being that was now Wen Quan was merely the Cyan Silkworm.
It was just that the Cyan Silkworm had not yet fully adapted to Wen Quan’s body and needed some time to sync up.
After moving around on the floor for a long while, "Wen Quan" looked down at its new body and hands with satisfaction, breaking into a wide grin.
The smile was more than a little eerie.
"Haha..."
Suddenly, "Wen Quan" let out a laugh.
"Mas... Master... I... have... perfectly... fused... with... Wen... Quan."
Slowly, the Cyan Silkworm seemed to be getting used to Wen Quan’s body.
It seemed quite satisfied with its new vessel.
At some point, a cyan silkworm slowly pushed its way out of Wen Quan’s forehead. After poking its head out, it quickly retreated back inside.
Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, studying the current Wen Quan—no, the Cyan Silkworm.
At last, he spoke with a serious tone, "From now on, you are Wen Quan. You are the City Lord of Hanwu City."
"Yes, Master."
The Cyan Silkworm immediately nodded. It had now basically adapted to Wen Quan’s body.
At the same time, Wen Quan’s Cultivation, which had been at the Martial King Fifth Heaven, suddenly began to surge.
VMMMM...
In an instant, his Cultivation broke through to the Martial King Sixth Layer Heaven.
’The Cyan Silkworm devouring Wen Quan actually caused his cultivation to break through?’
Jiang Chen was a little surprised.
’Still, this was even better.’
Everything had been perfectly executed.
The City Lord’s Mansion would no longer pose a threat to the Jiang Family.
With this done, the Jiang Family would be unrivaled in Hanwu City.
They just needed to focus on developing their strength.
"Very good. Follow my arrangements. Familiarize yourself with this body as quickly as possible."
"I’m leaving now. Report to me the moment anything happens."
Jiang Chen knew he couldn’t stay for too long.
Wu Feng and his men could return at any moment.
He was worried someone might notice something was wrong with the City Lord.
So he prepared to make an early departure.
"Yes, Master."
"Wen Quan" immediately nodded in agreement.
Jiang Chen and the Martial King Expert swiftly departed the City Lord’s Mansion, vanishing into the night.
