Lin Yan stared at the Celestial Divine furnace in the corner into which the former Heavenly Emperor had been thrown.

Despite being engulfed in the Red Lotus Fire, the former Heavenly Emperor didn't panic.

On the contrary, the arrogant look from before was evident once again.

"Lin Yan, you are very talented, worthy of being the one I have taken a fancy to." Said the former Heavenly Emperor with a carefree smile as if he wasn't trapped inside the Celestial Divine furnace.

Seeing this, Lin Yan had an unsightly expression.

Surely, the Phaseless Devil was controlling the former Heavenly Emperor right now.

Moreover, the Phaseless Devil was unfazed even after falling into the Celestial Divine furnace, facing death.

Something was wrong here, he thought.

Soon, a voice rang behind him, confirming Lin Yan's thoughts.

"Being Phaseless is only the most basic ability, but the strongest ability we possess is to manipulate people."

Behind him, Lin Yan heard Xiao Mei's voice as she walked unhurriedly into the Celestial Divine furnace Hall.

"Princess." Lin Yan's face turned pale, and he appeared beside Xiao Mei instantly.

However, before he could make a move to subdue Xiao Mei, she interrupted him coldly, "It's useless. As long as you don't have the means to expel my Heart Devil Seed from her body, she will always be under my control."

At this moment, Lin Yan's already outstretched palm suddenly stopped.

He knew that the Phaseless Devil was telling the truth.

As long as there was no way to expel these devils from Xiao Mei's body, she would always be under its control.

Xiao Mei looked at Lin Yan, who had an unsightly face. She chuckled, "Lin Yan, your greatest weakness is that you are soft-hearted. I devised a plan as soon as I learned you had entered the Celestial Divine furnace with your two sworn brothers. In addition to this woman, I now have control of your sister, who holds the Supreme Bone."

(On the Lingxuan Continent)

Stunned.

At first, Xiao Mei was stunned, then Xiao Yanran.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

It turned out that both of them had once been controlled by the Phaseless Devil.

Yet neither had any recollection of it.

Well, it was considered normal because when one was under the control of the Phaseless Devil, one would have no memories of it.

Similarly to Teng Gang, they don't recall ever having been controlled.

...

"Princess Xiao Mei and Miss Yanran were controlled by the Phaseless Devil. Doesn't this imply that the Heavenly Emperor will restrain himself regardless of what he does?"

This was also why the Heavenly Emperor's infamy spread across the continent of Lingxuan.

The Infernal Fire Domain and the Heart Devouring Pond were irrefutable examples of places of torture.

"Young warrior Lin Feng, there is no need for you to remember all the evil deeds of the Heavenly Emperor. We will never forget."

"I was part of a peaceful clan, the Snow Mountain Clan, that was suddenly destroyed by the Heavenly Emperor. The only one to survive was me. This is why I've been cultivating myself so far, in order to avenge them."

"It was the same for me. My sect was destroyed, but I managed to escape the Heavenly Emperor's capture many times, and finally, I managed to counterattack him successfully."

In an instant, Lin Feng's words had an effect, causing a crusading sound to resound throughout the place.

Seeing this, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction.

However, glancing at Xiao Yanran, Xiao Mei, and the others at the side, the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

After all, the ones he wanted to change the most were Xiao Yanran and others.

It seemed they were already completely affected by the Heavenly Emperor's memories and didn't care about what he said.

"There is still a chance. When the Heavenly Emperor's actions are exposed later, Sister Yanran and Sister Xiao Mei will definitely change their current view of the Heavenly Emperor." In Lin Feng's heart, he thought to himself.nextchapterisavailableonthesite.

(Within the Screen In The Sky)

Lin Yan turned pale as he stared at Xiao Mei in front of him.

On the other hand, Xiao Mei approached the Celestial Divine furnace, opened a gap, and rescued the former Heavenly Emperor.

The next moment, the former Heavenly Emperor's figure appeared next to Lin Yan.

The former Heavenly Emperor possessed by the Phaseless Devil said with a smug voice, "This is why I said you are too soft-hearted. Even if I possess more people, it will be difficult for me to be your opponent. If you don't care about this woman, you are free to still throw me into the Celestial Divine furnace again."

Lin Yan raised his head and said expressionlessly, "What conditions do I need before you are willing to let Princess Xiao Mei and my sister go?"

"I want your body."

The Phaseless Devil was very direct, "Despite having been to many places, I've never seen someone as talented as you. In terms of potential, your body is infinitely more valuable than that of this Heavenly Emperor. So, I want you to be my puppet."

"Okay, I'll give it to you. Come and possess my body." Lin Yan barely hesitated in the slightest and took a step forward.

Nevertheless, the Phaseless Devil said with a smile, "Lin Yan, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want to trick me into your body to destroy me, or even, you might decide to die with me. Even though you are soft-hearted, but only to the ones you care about around you, you have never been soft-hearted to yourself."

Hearing his words, Lin Yan's expression changed slightly.

In fact, he did think this way.

However, it was rejected by the Phaseless Devil with a single gulp.

When it came to manipulating people's hearts, the Phaseless Devil was indeed terrifying.

He didn't give Lin Yan the slightest chance at all.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yan asked, "What do you want?"
