"What are you doing?" Su Yi frowned and asked, looking at Nangong Ningyue kneeling on the ground, confused.
"You saved the lives of twelve of us, so it's only right for to show my gratitude! However, Nangong Ningyue also wants to ask for your kindness, to allow us to stay and be accepted. Please grant us this favor!" Nangong Ningyue lowered her head slightly, softly speaking each word.
Hearing her words, Su Yi felt a bit surprised. Xi Wuqing, the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, Su Xiaoshuai, and the others looked at each other, not understanding what this woman was up to.
"Captain!"
The remaining eleven mbers of the Cangyue rcenary Group imdiately stepped forward, wanting to say sothing, but Nangong Ningyue waved her hand to stop them. They all fell silent, waiting patiently.
"So, you an you want to follow ?" Su Yi raised an eyebrow and asked.
"That's right, Nangong Ningyue is willing to follow you and join the Overlord Sect!" Nangong Ningyue replied confidently without any hesitation.
Su Yi fell into a short silence and didn't speak for a while, just quietly watching Nangong Ningyue.
He had made a judgnt, this woman was not ordinary.
Being able to establish the well-known Cangyue rcenary Group as a woman, she couldn't be just a na in vain.
And after getting to know her during this ti, Su Yi knew that Nangong Ningyue was scheming and had extraordinary abilities.
Dealing with soone like her was definitely a double-edged sword, if used well, it could be invincible, but it could also backfire!
Su Yi didn't believe that he had any kind of kingly aura, where his re presence could make countless heroes bow down and serve him. Such a person might exist, but it definitely wouldn't be him, Su Yi.
Therefore, he was hesitant.
"Give a reason!" Su Yi thought for a mont and said.
"The reason is simple."
Nangong Ningyue thought for a mont and then said, "The Cangyue rcenary Group has already disappeared. Now there are only twelve of us left, and with the Seven Star Sword Sect by our side, it will be extrely difficult for us to rise again. Besides, I imagine that your Overlord Sect is also in need of capable individuals at this ti. Although the twelve of us may not be highly skilled, we can still assist you with so minor tasks and be of so use."
Nangong Ningyue spoke seriously and logically.
However, Su Yi clearly wasn't easily convinced. He responded, "You make so good points, but these alone are far from enough! Or perhaps you're just thinking that my Overlord Sect is strong enough to provide shelter for you, thereby avoiding being hunted down by the Seven Star Sword Sect?"
As he spoke, his gaze beca intense, fixating directly on Nangong Ningyue, like a sharp knife.
Su Yi couldn't help but admit that this woman had a sharp sense of judgnt. Rather than seeking help from Xi Wuqing, who had the highest cultivation level present, Nangong Ningyue ca to ask him instead.
Obviously, through their brief conversation, the other party had already figured out Su Yi's position within the Overlord Sect.
Moreover, it seed that Nangong Ningyue had secretly observed that the Overlord Sect was currently in need of capable individuals.
In a sect where there were only a few mbers, it was undoubtedly a ti when capable individuals were needed.
Another point to note was that all the remaining mbers of the Cangyue rcenary Group held Nangong Ningyue in high esteem, showing no sign of defiance. This indicates her truly formidable prestige and ability to command respect.
"Sir, Nangong Ningyue has no such intention!"
Nangong Ningyue vehently denied, then her eyes shimred with brilliance, as if a star was shining. She said, "I have my own judgnt, and this ti I see the potential in the Overlord Sect. As long as you, sir, are here, I believe that the Overlord Sect will one day stand above all and make everyone take notice. This is also an opportunity for the twelve of us. We only hope that you, sir, are willing to take us in!"
Nangong Ningyue spoke confidently, but everyone present was stunned.
Everyone was a bit confused as to where this woman's confidence ca from and why she held Su Yi in such high regard, including Su Yi himself.
"This girl's insight is indeed sharp. She could be a good talent worth using! The only thing unknown is her character. This all needs ti to test! You decide whether to use her or not!"
Just as Su Yi was hesitating, he suddenly heard a voice transmission from Xi Wuqing.
This surprised Su Yi even more. Nangong Ningyue actually made his older brother Xi Wuqing take notice. It seems she's really sothing.
Of course, the final decision still lies with Su Yi. He also knows that Nangong Ningyue is certainly talented, but to truly make use of her, everything needs to be tested by ti.
The human race is not like demon beasts. They cannot be bound by a Demon Spirit Contract to ensure they won't have a rebellious heart.
"Big brother, do you still have that dicine?" Su Yi thought for a mont, then abruptly turned to look at Xi Wuqing and asked.
It seed like Xi Wuqing already knew what dicine Su Yi was asking about. He simply said "Yes," and then took out a bottle of dicine, handing it to Su Yi.
"Aren't you supposed to follow ? I'm giving you this opportunity!"
Su Yi raised the bottle of dicine and presented it to Nangong Ningyue, saying, "This is a tatarsal Soul Devouring Pill. If you take it, I promise to let you stay in the Overlord Sect!"
He stared at Nangong Ningyue intently, wanting to see her reaction.
But to his surprise, as soon as Su Yi finished speaking, Nangong Ningyue snatched the bottle of dicine from his hand.
She took out the tatarsal Soul Devouring Pill from it and, without hesitation, stuffed it into her mouth, swallowing it.
"Aren't you going to ask what kind of dicine this is?" Su Yi raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I've heard of it!"
Nangong Ningyue spoke and said, "tatarsal Soul Devouring Pill, it is said that only Lifetaken Yama Xi Wuqing can refine this poisonous pill! Once taken, it needs to be taken once every two years with an antidote, otherwise the body will decay, flesh will separate, and the soul will slowly be devoured, enduring the most terrible pain in the world and suffering the deepest tornt until death! In this process, even wanting to commit suicide is difficult, one has to endure forty-nine days of inhuman suffering!"
Clearly being in the Chaos Realm, Nangong Ningyue had also heard of Xi Wuqing and the tatarsal Soul Devouring Pill.
As she spoke, she also looked at the old man beside Su Yi, and it seed that this woman had already guessed Xi Wuqing's identity.
"Captain!"
Upon hearing Nangong Ningyue's words, the eleven mbers of the Cangyue rcenary Group beca anxious again.
They felt that their captain was too impulsive, even though the people from the Overlord Sect still didn't trust them.
Nangong Ningyue rashly took the tatarsal Soul Devouring Pill, which shocked and worried them.
