“What now, Li Zeyuan? Do you really expect me to get the gall for you?” Qi Tian’s gaze was like a razor blade, fixated on Li Zeyuan. He had never intended to spare Li Zeyuan out of respect for his talent. If Li Zeyuan’s behavior does not satisfy him, Qi Tian would not hesitate to kill him on the spot. As for procuring a Half-step Gold Core Realm practicioner for Prince Zhao to create an Immortal Slave, while others may find it a daunting task, Qi Tian could easily accomplish this. If he is willing, he could even get him a Gold Core Realm warrior; however, in Qi Tian’s view, there’s hardly any need for that.

Feeling the cold murderous intent emanating from Qi Tian, Li Zeyuan began to tremble uncontrollably. He hurriedly tucked away any minor tricks he had in mind, obediently moved forward and, following Qi Tian’s instructions, bowed to Prince Zhao, prostrating himself at the prince’s feet. “Li Zeyuan seeks the honor of serving under your highness, I pledge my unwavering loyalty to you from this day forward.”

Prince Zhao was still somewhat unaccustomed to this role reversal. He used to treat Li Zeyuan courteously as an honored guest during their past interactions, but today was the first time Li Zeyuan demonstrated such a show of respect towards him.

Qi Tian said, “Prince Zhao, you’re the master and Li Zeyuan is the servant. It’s vital to maintain these roles, and they should not be subsequently altered. Do not feel awkward about it. With respect to status, you are a prince and the future ruler of Great Zhao Nation. In terms of cultivation, you are a Gold Core Realm practitioner, whereas Li Zeyuan is merely Half-Step Golden Core. There is nothing that Li Zeyuan excels in compared to you, save for his seniority. You can accept him whole-heartedly.”

Prince Zhao slowly nodded. After all, he was a prince and had gone through a lot since Qi Tian declared support for his ascension. Prince Zhao had gradually cultivated a royal demeanor. At Qi Tian’s guidance, his apprehensive face gradually calmed, and gesturing towards Li Zeyuan, he voiced, “Li Daochang, since you sincerely acknowledge me as your master, I will accept you. I hope that we, master and servant, can unite in heart and deed in the future. As long as you work for me faithfully, I will ensure you are appropriately compensated.”

“Thank you, master.” Li Zeyuan respectfully replied.

Qi Tian standing by, advised, “Li Zeyuan, uncage your spirit, Prince Zhao is about to imprint the Slave Mark on you.”

Li Zeyuan hurriedly opened up his spirit as directed, but instead of letting Prince Zhao plant the Slave Mark immediately, Qi Tian used the Heavenly Dao Engine to thoroughly inspect Li Zeyuan. He ensured no foul play from Li Zeyuan at this crucial moment by scrutinizing every detail.

After extensive examination, Li Zeyuan was found to have no abnormalities. However, Qi Tian remained cautious and, while keep Li Zeyuan under surveillance through the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensory function, warned, “Li Zeyuan, comply sincerely with the contract between you and Prince Zhao. If you attempt any tricks, I can assure you that the moment you betray my trust, you shall cease to exist in this world.”

Only after giving the warning did Qi Tian gesture to Prince Zhao to plant the Slave Mark on Li Zeyuan’s spirit. The process was not complex. Qi Tian had previously explained to Prince Zhao in detail how to plant a Slave Mark, so his help was not needed at this time.

With Qi Tian’s warning and his stern supervision, Li Zeyuan did not dare to make any moves, allowing Prince Zhao to plant the Slave Mark obediently. The moment the Slave Mark took effect, Prince Zhao had an odd sensation, as if Li Zeyuan had turned into a caged bird and he could easily command Li Zeyuan’s fate.

There are different levels of a Slave Mark, and Qi Tian gave Prince Zhao one of the most intrusive ones. That way, Prince Zhao could have absolute control over Li Zeyuan. The days ahead for Li Zeyuan were perhaps slightly better than that of a marionette.

“Good, very good.” Qi Tian was extremely pleased with the result.

Prince Zhao bowed deeply to Qi Tian, sincerely expressing, “Master, I don’t know how to express my gratitude to you anymore. What I’m saying might seem exaggerated, but I can assure you, even my own parents have never treated me as well as you have.”

Qi Tian chuckled and responded, “It’s not necessary to compare me with your parents. Prince Zhao, now that you have made all the necessary preparations, and I can see no areas in which you need further improvement or supplement. How about it, shall we officially start the Northern Expedition tomorrow?”

Prince Zhao nodded, replying, “You shall make the decisions, Master. If you think it’s appropriate, then we shall commence the Northern Expedition tomorrow.”

Qi Tian and Prince Zhao were the two main driving forces behind the Northern Expedition Army. Since the two of them had agreed unanimously, there was no room for dispute. Consequently, the Northern Expedition Army, from top to bottom, received the command from Prince Zhao. Tomorrow, the Northern Expedition will officially begin.

During the past few days, Qi Tian had already prepared the court officials, the nobles, as well as the military generals of the Northern Expedition Army. Today, although Prince Zhao’s issuance of the expedition order may seem hurried, due to earlier preparations, the Northern Expedition Army was not thrown into chaos.

On the next day, after making some simple offerings to the heaven and the earth on the training field, Prince Zhao officially announced the commencement of Northern Expedition. With that, the Northern Expedition Army, after being stationed in Wangdu County for more than half a year already, started to move northward to attack the nearby Red Sand City.
