These people admitted their mistakes readily and expressed their opinions sincerely.

But... Chu Nan is not someone who easily believes verbal promises.

The fact that the main owner and young master of the Mirage Tower died does not mean that the people below will not have disloyal thoughts.

There are over a hundred disciples just in this back mountain, and the total number of disciples in the entire Mirage Tower is unknown.

It's hard to guarantee that there won't be a few lunatics among them.

After all, this Mirage Sect is the largest sect in the East Sea, and it's a sorcerer sect with faith.

Even if the chances are slim, Chu Nan will not take the risk. They are not ordinary villagers from Nanxiang, and they are not people who can be easily defeated.

"A very good attitude, but unfortunately, only the dead keep their word!"

Chu Nan's abrupt words turned everyone who thought they had escaped a calamity pale.

They didn't expect that even after the elders handed over the sect's most treasured artifact, this person still wouldn't let them go.

However, even the Lord of the Nine Illusions, who had almost fully activated the forbidden array, died at the hands of the enemy. So these little Karami had even less chance of resisting.

"No! We don't need to die!"

The elder quickly waved his hand and said, "I know that simply presenting Qianhuan as a token of sincerity is not enough, so... so I have also prepared a gift for you, sir."

"Oh?"

Chu Nan looked on with great interest.

The elder knelt on the ground and said, "You...you should know about the master-servant contract, right?"

Chu Nan glanced at the small black bandage wrapped around his wrist. "I know..."

Could it be that a master-servant contract exists within this mirage, allowing people to sign such a contract?

If that's the case, then this Mirage is more than just an assassin organization; it's practically a cult!

"Actually, the mirage also has similar control methods. We all ingested the mirage pills."

Chu Nan frowned slightly. "Mirage Pill?"

"Yes, it's called a pill, but it's actually a mother-and-child insect called a mirage."

Elder Shenlou swallowed hard and continued, "Every disciple of Shenlou must take a Shenwan containing larval eggs before entering the sect."

"Once these insect eggs enter the body, they will regenerate and hatch. Normally, they do not cause any harm to the body; on the contrary, they can accelerate the cultivation process."

"Even ordinary people can benefit from taking it, as it can prolong life and improve physical health."

"But through the mother worm, with just a thought, she can make the offspring worms tear apart the body and soul within, or even explode and kill the person!"

"Therefore, all the disciples of the Mirage Tower, including some wealthy and powerful believers, have taken the Mirage Pill..."

This mirage is indeed a cult, using such methods to control its disciples.

"Where is the mother worm?"

The elder pointed to the corpse of the Mirage Lord and said tremblingly, "It should... it should be on the Lord's body."

Chu Nan walked to the body of the Mirage Lord and searched his body. After a while, he found a bracelet with a small cage woven into it on his left wrist.

After sensing it, there was indeed an insect inside, which should be the mother insect that the elder mentioned.

Just as Chu Nan was about to take it down and examine it closely, Xiao Hei excitedly flicked its tongue at the mother insect.

At the same time, he mentally expressed his desire to eat the mother insect.

Chu Nan naturally wouldn't agree to this, since he still needed the mother insect to control these Mirage disciples.

However, Xiao Hei reassured him that once he ate the mother worm, he could perfectly inherit her abilities.

Chu Nan paused for a moment, then asked telepathically, "Is it only by eating this insect that one can retain their abilities, or can all demonic beasts do so?"

Xiao Hei didn't hide anything; after forming a contract with Chu Nan, its body underwent some kind of mutation.

For a demon beast that has not formed a demon core, swallowing it whole will allow it to inherit all of its abilities.

A demon beast that forms a demon core only needs to swallow the demon core to inherit all its abilities.

However, the full inheritance will only occur with the first nine monsters devoured. After those nine, you can only randomly acquire one ability, not all of them.

In addition, it is essential to ensure that the rank of any monster does not exceed his by too much.

Otherwise, the absorption may fail, or the ability may be successfully acquired but replaced by the original ability.

Although the mother and child insects of this mirage have unique abilities, they are just ordinary demonic beasts, or even alien insects that don't even qualify as demonic beasts.

Xiao Hei could completely refine and utilize its abilities for his own use.

Hearing this result, Chu Nan was relieved. He crushed the bracelet and let Xiao Hei swallow the mother worm in one gulp.

The master and servant communicated telepathically, while the others remained unaware of what was happening.

The elder, thinking Chu Nan had destroyed the mother insect, immediately kowtowed and said, "Sir, you are truly kind. From now on, we will follow your lead and honor you as our esteemed elder."

Before he could finish speaking, his pupils lost their luster, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, lifeless.

Then, with each breath, it turned into mist and dispersed into the air.

Upon witnessing this scene, all the disciples of the Mirage Tower were filled with terror.

Because... this is precisely the result of the mother worm triggering the daughter worms to burst inside the body!

But they clearly watched as Chu Nan let that little black snake eat the mother worm!

They were puzzled, but dared not ask any questions; all that remained in their hearts was fear!

Because nobody knows whether Chu Nan will be the next one to execute them!

Chu Nan patted Xiao Hei's head. "Not bad, it seems you have indeed mastered all of the mother insect's abilities."

Xiao Hei didn't respond, but just looked like it was enjoying itself.

Chu Nan looked at the Mirage Tower disciple who was terrified as if he had lost his soul and laughed, "Don't be afraid. I'm not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately. I just want to test whether the mother-child worm he mentioned is real."

Just to verify the truth, they killed the Third Elder. Is this what you call not killing innocent people indiscriminately?

Chu Nan knew what they were thinking, but as far as Chu Nan himself was concerned, he had not indiscriminately killed innocent people.

The elder seemed to be surrendering, even offering up the Thousand Illusions to show his sincerity.

But if he hadn't said he would kill them all, he wouldn't have revealed the existence of the mother and offspring worms.

If nothing unexpected happens, after I leave, this elder will definitely take control of the mother insect as soon as possible and become the new master of the Mirage.

Fear of death, yet full of ambition.

People like that will only cause trouble sooner or later if they stay.

Killing the opponent is a test, a deterrent, and an end to the trouble.

"From today onwards, the mirage will continue to operate as usual. Although there may be situations where I need your help, I will generally not interfere. As for how the new structure will be formed, that is up to you to decide."

After Chu Nan finished speaking, he carried Xu Ran, whose mind had been calmed by his true energy, and headed down the mountain.

The disciples of Mirage felt as if they had been granted a pardon, but in reality, nothing much had changed for them.

It's just that the original poster died and a new poster took over. As for how the higher-ups organize things, that's their business.

But the little black thing on Chu Nan's wrist wasn't happy about it...
