Chapter 23: Return
"My... Your Majesty, why have you brought us here?" Xia Wen probed nervously, a bad premonition welling up inside him.
"You’re now my guests, are you not? This is my home, and from now on, it’ll be your home too."
"What do you—"
WHOOOSH!
A massive wave of energy suddenly washed over the Aquafire Supreme and the millions of soldier cultivators that came with him.
Under the influence of this energy, the minds of everyone from the Aquafire Empire were branded. These brands, impossible to break by anyone below the Dantian Formation Realm, were spiritually infused and made all of whom were branded little more than obedient slaves.
However, for the brand’s effects to completely go through, there had to be no resistance on the end of the one being branded.
"You resist, you die."

Laying a single hand on the Martial Supreme’s shoulder, Jin said, "Even though you’re only a Martial Supreme now, if you prove your worth, I can guide you toward a higher Realm."
