The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1459: Chapter 1487: Resisting the Brand

After hearing Deacon Liu’s words, everyone was thrown into helplessness. They clearly understood the situation at this moment, and many had already abandoned the idea of escaping. To stay alive, their only option was to join the Qingyue Sword Sect.

Then, Deacon Liu continued to announce: ”Next, Zhang Xin! Come forward and swear before the Qingyue Sword Stele!”

Another person followed Deacon Liu’s instructions, infusing a strand of spiritual power into the Qingyue Sword Stele. Then, he began to make his oath, expressing his loyalty to the Qingyue Sword Sect, while Ye Feng kept a fixed gaze on the Qingyue Sword Stele.

At that moment, Ye Feng sensed that the young man named Zhang Xin, when infusing his spiritual power into the Qingyue Sword Stele, caused it to react, and a mysterious force emerged from it.

That mysterious force established a bond with Zhang Xin, but before Ye Feng could observe it clearly, Zhang Xin’s oath had already ended. Ye Feng could only wait for the next person to swear, as time continued to pass.

One by one, people kept swearing their oath. During this process, there were still those who were insincere. Although they stated their willingness to join the Qingyue Sword Sect, pledging unwavering loyalty and vowing never to do anything against the sect, their hearts had yet to make the decision, which the Qingyue Sword Stele easily detected.

The Qingyue Sword Stele immediately unleashed a terrifying Sword Qi, piercing through their bodies in an instant, reducing them to a pile of flesh. The power erupting from the stele was something even Ye Feng felt helpless against.

Ye Feng understood clearly that even he, if attacked by the Sword Qi emitted by the Qingyue Sword Stele, would die.

Ye Feng kept his eyes fixed on the Qingyue Sword Stele, observing carefully, not daring to show the slightest negligence or slack.

In that instant, Ye Feng suddenly felt a familiar sensation from the Qingyue Sword Stele as the newly joined disciples swore their oath, the power emanating from the stele made Ye Feng feel very familiar.

Ye Feng furrowed his brows, pondering this familiar feeling, while one by one, people had finished swearing.

Ye Feng was fourth in line; after the three ahead of him finished swearing, it would be his turn.

Soon, another person completed their oath, officially becoming a disciple of the Qingyue Sword Sect. But at this moment, Ye Feng’s heart was shaken: ”I understand! No wonder that power seems so familiar, so this is the reason!”

Ye Feng finally realized why the Qingyue Sword Stele could sense whether a disciple was truly loyal to the Qingyue Sword Sect.

Because when they infused their spiritual power into the Qingyue Sword Stele, it established a connection with the owner of the spiritual power, allowing the power of the Qingyue Sword Stele to enter the mental world of the spiritual power’s owner.

And implants a spiritual imprint within their mental world. With the imprint present, it can sense the owner’s thoughts; if the person is not sincere and does not truly intend to join the Qingyue Sword Sect, the Qingyue Sword Stele will detect it, unleashing its power to kill the owner of the spiritual power.

This is exactly like when Ye Feng uses the Slaughter Mark. As long as it’s planted in someone, imprinting into their mental world, Ye Feng can sense their thoughts.

However, when Ye Feng plants the Slaughter Mark, if the difference in strength is not excessively significant, the other party must cooperate by not resisting, actively opening their mental world to let Ye Feng plant the spiritual imprint in their body.

By infusing their spiritual power into the Qingyue Sword Stele, it’s equivalent to opening their mental world, establishing a connection with the stele, allowing the Qingyue Sword Stele to plant an imprint within.

In other words, Ye Feng just needs to resist, preventing the Qingyue Sword Stele from planting an imprint in his mental world. But Ye Feng was unsure of his success, uncertain if he could avoid detection.

Soon, the second-to-last person stood before the Qingyue Sword Stele, pledging to join the Qingyue Sword Sect.

However, Ye Feng continued to appear calm and composed, showing no emotional fluctuation in his eyes, observing carefully.

Finally, the second-to-last person finished their oath, and at this moment, Ye Feng was completely certain of his thoughts.

”The last one, Ye Feng! Come forward and make your oath!” Deacon Liu said to Ye Feng.

Hall Master Heng Dao even became nervous: ”Ye Feng, go ahead, don’t let any other thoughts trouble your mind. Just know that you are about to become a disciple of the Qingyue Sword Sect, and you will not betray the Qingyue Sword Sect!”

”Yes!” Ye Feng nodded lightly, then walked towards the Qingyue Sword Stele, with Heng Dao showing a face full of tension.

In fact, Heng Dao had suspected Ye Feng earlier, given Ye Feng’s legendary Great Perfection power despite his youth, coupled with being from Dragon Country. Such talent in Dragon Country would surely receive tremendous attention.

For someone with Ye Feng’s talent, he could stride anywhere he wished; so why come to a small place like Yanyue?

But now, Heng Dao was no longer worried. Whether Ye Feng came to the Qingyue Sword Sect with ulterior motives was irrelevant because once Ye Feng swore, he would be one of them, eliminating any concerns.

Shortly after, Ye Feng stood in front of the Qingyue Sword Stele. Deacon Liu looked at Ye Feng and shouted: ”Ye Feng, infuse your spiritual power!” Upon hearing this, Ye Feng showed no hesitation and infused his spiritual power directly.

In no time, Ye Feng’s spiritual power reached the Qingyue Sword Stele, and instantly, the stele established a massive connection with Ye Feng’s mental world. The Qingyue Sword Stele quickly sensed the spiritual power, unleashing a surge of powerful force, transforming into an imprint, flowing into Ye Feng’s mental world.

In a short amount of time, the imprint reached Ye Feng’s mental world, trying to merge with Ye Feng’s spirit.
