That night, Huo Qi wrote down everything Qi Hao had previously arranged. It must be said that Qi Hao was quite the schemer; Huo Qi filled up nearly a hundred sheets of paper and handed them to the three brothers. They glanced over them briefly and collectively inhaled sharply.
These forces were both a hidden danger and an opportunity—a double-edged sword, depending on how one handled them. Not only did they need to be capable and knowledgeable, but they also had to think about how to conceal them. If concealment proved impossible, it would be better to destroy them than to leave any leverage behind.
Seeing that the three were listening intently, Huo Qi was willing to elaborate further. You three are blood-related brothers; regardless of the past, since I have taken your place, I cannot bear to see you turn against each other. You can compete and fight, but you must never go for the kill. If anyone dares to cross that line, do not blame me for being ruthless.
Among all the spirits within Qi Hao, only I survived until the end. The means I possess are more than enough to deal with you little ghosts. Even if I am not by your side, wanting to kill you would be as easy as pie for me. Therefore, do not play any dirty tricks behind my back. If you wish to fight, do so openly and honestly. Do you understand?
After a few more admonitions, Huo Qi waved off the three brothers. Li Cu approached and gave a thumbs-up, praising him for his commanding presence. With just a few words, he had completely subdued them; they were more respectful towards him than they were towards their own parents.
I have trained hundreds of thousands of soldiers; how could I not handle these few kids? However, this kind of instruction needs to be reasonable for it to resonate with them genuinely.
The Qi brothers each had their own issues; today’s lesson wasn’t enough. There needed to be more sessions in the future. After all, I had taken over their body and thus bore the responsibility.
Huo, Senior, if you had taken over Qi Hao's body earlier, Qi Xiaomian could have lived a better childhood.
That scene with Riri looked easy but was actually fraught with danger; a moment's carelessness could lead to disaster for me.
Huo Qi sighed and continued his story. Years ago, I was betrayed by the Monarch; my heart was filled with resentment and despair. This thought consumed me for decades until I finally woke up—only to find that my country was long gone.
Afterward, I rose through the ranks to become a Demon King. Once I reached great heights, life felt meaningless. I wandered around, seeing everything in the mortal realm until I was stabbed in the back by that servant.
At that moment, I thought I had lived long enough; perhaps it was time to let go.
Little did I know that Qi Hao had set this trap specifically to capture my soul for himself. I didn’t even know where he acquired such a powerful Secret Technique; it was so formidable that even if I wanted to disperse my soul, I couldn't.
If it were just a Secret Technique, I might have been able to break free. The real issue was that he had tamed too many spirits; one punch from me couldn’t contend with four hands against me, so I chose to lie low for now.
To prevent him from completely taming me, when he made his move against me, I kept a part of my soul separate—protected by Magic Breath and preserved by Demon Bone—to ensure its safety.
When Qi Xiaomian fell off the cliff, it stirred my spirit at the bottom of the ravine. Thinking death was inevitable, I was surprised when this child’s will to survive proved incredibly strong; he absorbed Magic Breath in his mortal form in an attempt to stay alive.
When I first went to check on him three days later, he lay there with ruptured organs and weak breathing—a sight that suggested he was on the brink of death. After just a glance, I left him behind.
Five days later, when I returned for the second time, his breathing remained weak but showed signs of improvement as his internal injuries seemed less severe. Miraculously, Magic Breath wasn’t causing chaos within him anymore. My heart softened at this sight but still compelled me to leave resolutely.
