As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 86 Seven-Star Soul-Piercing Nail

"Heat treatment" means storing the residual soul in a seal card, and even directly repairing, transforming, and strengthening the residual soul when it is in a highly active state.

"Cold treatment" means first freezing, hypnotizing, sealing, or even asking the residual soul to leave, and then operating on the lifeless seal card.

It is conceivable that the former is ten times more difficult than the latter.

Under the complicated gazes of the crowd, Xu Yan returned to the hall.

For a time, no matter whether it was the powerful people in Rolling Stone Castle or the desperate criminals living on the edge of a knife in the wilderness area.

They all surrounded him like a rising tide.

There is no other way. In the Age of Heroes, a powerful seal card is the guarantee of life.

The card makers who can create, repair and strengthen seal cards naturally become transcendent beings.

The huge network of contacts gained through card making and card modification can often leverage energy that is a hundred times more powerful than one's own.

Even a bloodthirsty murderer would not want to offend a high-level card maker unless it is absolutely necessary.

Xu Yan stared deeply at Director Green.

He had already laid out the bait.

The technique used to repair the "Oak Sage" just now is called "Seven-Star Soul-Piercing Nail".

It is a secret method used by the Wanhun Sect to intimidate evil spirits.

Of course, with his cultivation level at the Qi Refining Stage, it was simply not enough for him to use such an advanced secret technique to make all demons and evil spirits submit.

So, he cheated.

While engraving the talisman array, he also quietly opened the Human Emperor Banner.

Use the deterrent power of the Human Emperor Banner to calm the furious druid down.

As the saying goes, "Win people over with virtue."

Merit is also virtue!

This is a unique skill that only he, as the master of the Human Emperor Banner, can perform.

No matter how skilled or knowledgeable the card makers of the Rolling Stone Club are, they cannot see the mystery in it, but they cannot help but be tempted.

"The bait has been released. Now it depends on whether the big fish will take the bait!"

……

On the outskirts of Rolling Stone Castle.

A desolate area adjacent to the wilderness area.

Deep inside a shelter that had been abandoned for many years.

John Carter, the "big boss" and the head of the underground order in Rolling Stone Castle, stared intently at the screen, watching the entire process of Xu Yan repairing the "Oak Sage".

Even though the image had been slowed down several times, Xu Yan's dazzling movements still aroused extremely greedy waves in his eyes.

At first glance, the big boss looks like a fat man with a smile on his face and a friendly attitude that brings wealth.

Looking closely, underneath the seemingly bloated fat lies muscles as huge as an aerial bomb.

In his round eyes, which were interwoven with lines of laughter, shone the fierce gleam of a top predator.

"What do you think?" he asked without turning around.

The voice was sharp and cold, as if mixed with ice, completely different from his appearance.

"Very strong and valuable."

In the shadows behind the big boss, Leiliana answered timidly.

The founder of the Rolling Stone Club is an elegant and radiant lady when she appears in public.

Even when she stepped into the garbage dump and distributed food to the garbage bugs with her own hands, she was meticulous in her appearance.

She once told "Crazy Cat" Chris that appearance affects how others see her.

Even if everyone treats the wilderness refugees as ants, the refugees themselves must not give up and must do their best to live like a human being.

However, Ms. Leiliana, who had disappeared from the public eye for more than half a month, now had disheveled hair and a haggard appearance. She looked ten years older, like a tortured stray cat.

"Very good, I agree with you."

The big boss made a call and said, "Green, hold this guy steady and get him over here."

"What do you want to do?"

Leiliana was shocked. "You want to kidnap a card-making master with a mysterious origin? No, no, no, you can't do that!
“He had just performed at the Rolling Stone Club and according to the rules, we had an obligation to keep him safe.

"Besides, the patrol team's new deputy captain, Long, is investigating us. This woman is not easy to deal with, and we can't invite more trouble at this critical juncture.

"Besides, you have no idea how deep the connections and background of a card-making master are. If you act rashly against him, you might end up provoking someone you shouldn't.

"John, you're not usually such a reckless person. What happened in the past month? You've completely changed and turned into a lawless demon!"

"Have you said enough?"

The boss's eyes twitched, and the tyrannical aura deep in his eye sockets overflowed like magma. He spread his palms as big as a palm fan and slapped Leliana hard in the face. "Pa!"

The merciless slap sent Leiliana flying, slamming her hard against the wall.

Leiliana's last bit of pride seemed to be shattered by this slap.

Her cheeks bulged high, and all the screams and tears were blown back into her stomach. She held her loose teeth, her eyes full of fear and confusion.

"Be clear about your own identity. Don't let others flatter you and think you are the hostess of the Rolling Stone Club and the respected 'Ms. Leiliana.'"

The big boss moved his bear-like body, looking down at Leliana coldly, his eyes filled with coldness and disgust. "If I hadn't rescued you from the Wilderness Gang and brought you so much money and connections from the safe zone, you'd probably still be like a commodity, being tossed between the various gangs, neither human nor ghost.

"And I also have the ability to destroy everything you have at any time and make you return to your previous life.

"Believe me, after living a life of luxury for so many years, you can't live that kind of life for even a second."

Leliana opened her mouth.

A bloody back tooth fell to the ground.

She stared at the teeth rolling back and forth.

It's like watching a fate that is beyond your control.

The bell rings.

"Solved? Okay, great. Wait, what did you say?"

The big boss grabbed the microphone, a look of surprise on his face, and asked Leiliana, "Have you heard of the name 'Xu Yan'?"

Leiliana was stunned for a moment.

She really knew.

"Xu Yan is a refugee from the wilderness who recently fled to Rolling Stone Castle. I met him once when I was distributing food at the garbage dump. I was deeply impressed by his hands then—he has incredibly dexterous hands. He was born to be a card maker."

Leiliana hesitated and said, "'Crazy Cat' Chris told me that he is very good at disassembling scrap cards and recycling the materials inside. He can do the work of ten people by himself.

"I'm very interested in him. I originally wanted to observe this little guy before the rainstorm to see if I could recruit him to the Rolling Stone Club as a card-making apprentice, but—"

However, she was placed under house arrest before the rainstorm and remains so until today.

"Your intelligence is out of date."

The big boss grinned and said, "It's such a waste to let him be a card making apprentice."

Leiliana was puzzled.

"The mysterious card maker who just made a big splash at the Rolling Stone Club is none other than Xu Yan," the big boss said briefly.

Leiliana was shocked and blurted out: "This is impossible."

"It is said that this kid comes from the Shadow Ruins, a survivor camp very close to the contaminated area."

The big boss grinned, "Since it involves the contaminated area, anything is possible. This kid's card-making method is probably old technology from the contaminated area. Perhaps he is hiding more secrets of the contaminated area.

"Since you know this guy, I'll hand him over to you. I'll give you a week to dig out all his secrets!"

"I, I can't do it."

Leiliana shook her head desperately, "He is innocent. I can't help you harm him!"

"Who said I wanted to harm him?"

The big boss sneered, "Since his methods are so clever, he should definitely stay with the Rolling Stone Club. As long as he's as obedient as you, why would I treat him unfairly?"

"this--"

Leiliana still wanted to refuse.

She had barely uttered a word when the big boss exploded without warning, pounced on her like a brown bear, grabbed her neck, rubbed her against the wall, and lifted her into the air.

Leiliana's eyes instantly became bloodshot.

The cervical vertebrae were pinched and made a crackling sound.

The back rubbed against the wall, leaving countless bloody marks.

She struggled to grab the boss's iron-like arms, and kicked her legs wildly, but they were like light reeds and could not hurt the boss at all.

The big boss's eyes were cold, as if what he was holding in his hands was not a living being, but just a rag doll that he could manipulate at will.

It wasn't until pink foam spurted out of Leiliana's nostrils and her hands and feet hung down limply that he snorted coldly, let go of her hands, and let Leiliana fall heavily to the ground and curl up into a ball.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

Leliana coughed heartbreakingly.

"You bitch, until now, do you still think I am discussing this with you?"

The big boss stepped over her and said, "If you can't dig out all the secrets of this kid in your way, then I will use mine.

"Also, clean yourself up and don't be as sloppy as a wild dog in the wilderness!"
