So, to confirm that he was not just overthinking everything, Kun Chao asked; "Erm… Would you mind telling me what it is you heard… nothing concrete, just a single sentence would suffice…?"

Min Hong obviously didn't know the particular reason Kun Chao was concerned about what it was that he heard…

​​

Though he was suspicious, Min Hong still spoke anyways;

"I still seem to remember a certain; …It was a good thing that the amulet uncle gave us was able to mask our strengths very well, otherwise our plan might have just been foiled before we even began."

Min Hong spoke before adding "Then a… Remember, we only have two years to complete our mission, and we cannot afford to fail." Kun Chao warned once more before he stood up to leave.

This time around it was both Kun Lin and Kun Chao that were flabbergasted and scared out of their wits as both of them, though continued to walk forward but, were still creating a certain safe distance between themselves and Min Hong…

The Kun siblings would have been tragically stupid, if they were not scared at this poiny…

"Is this guy some sort of ancient expert who had sealed his powers or what?"

"I bet he is a reincarnated immortal, because only people at the immortal stage and above could really hear a weaker cultivator's mental transmission…"

These were the thoughts running riots within the Kun siblings' mind as they kept following him subconsciously like they were being controlled…

But Kun Chao's soul jerked as he came back to his senses; His fear of Min Hong reached new heights when he realized that he had been unknowingly enchanted without even realizing it…

Meanwhile within Min Hong's head, the white-robed Min Hong was staring at Daniel with great shock etched to his face and his mouth agape…

"What are you stunned about? It was something even an ordinary mortal would have thought…" Daniel lazily spoke as he kept at his mission…

"If using the ability completely would drain you of all your energy and even encroach on your life force, who told you not to use a tiny bit of it?" He added without looking…

What Daniel had just did to the Kun siblings was that; from the very first moment they saw him, he had actually casted the Primus Dao ability; Nightmare Aberration, albeit about 0.1% of its total power…

This was the reason why they kept following Min Hong without thinking too much about it and also the reason why fear was taking roots in their hearts…

If only 0.1% of such ability can so subtly seep into the soul of a full-fledged 1 Star Nascent Soul experts, then what would happen if he actually used about 20% of it… or 50%, and then what about 100%...

Min Hong had never and would have at least taken 500 years, for him to realize that Daniel's logic was true…

If it would have taken him the power of a Peak Saint Stage expert to cast the full technique, why can't he just cast 1% of it using his current strength…?

Or like Daniel who only activated about 0.1% of it and was able to minimize the amount of energy he will expend…

That was the main reason why Daniel had said it would only take him half an hour to get the job done and why he was confident enough to barge into a house that had two Nascent Soul and Higher Level Dan Formation stage expert, were currently having a talk…

This was because they never stood a chance against Daniel's plans from the onset, which was to use the 'Nightmare Aberration' technique on them…

Though it worked, but Kun Chao himself, was no ordinary 1 Star Nascent Soul expert either…

Thus, he was able to shake off the illusion effect, albeit too late, he realized that Min Hong could have killed them ten times over during this short span of time if he really wanted to, but it didn't and that only sowed a seed of trust within Kun Chao which Min Hong would cause to grow into the biggest of all trees…

"So, what do I stand to benefit from this conversation of ours…?" Kun Chao asked after completely dispelling the effects of the 'Nightmare Aberration'…

"I want you to join my coterie…" Min Hong blurted...

"Though it might not be much of a benefit to you now, but one thing is we make sure the goals of all our members are realized…"

"Plus we also provide solid support to our members, ensure that they have adequate cultivation resources, but most of all, we protect them at all costs…" Min Hong laid his intentions bare as he continued;

"Furthermore, you will not be forced to do something that would harm your safety or be detrimental to you in any way…"

"There are only three things we do not accept in our coterie; first, we seriously reject people with bad attitudes…" Min Hong briefed;

"The second is, we do not accept anyone who isn't aiming for the stars as well as the best versions of themselves…"

"Lastly, everything we do must always be with the collective good of the entire faction in mind…"

Min Hong paused as he turned around and spoke with the calmest, leisurely and most nonchalant tone he had used with them; "Anyways, the decision of whether to join or not is still up to you…"

"We don't force anyone to join in and you only have five minutes to think about it and give me your response…" Min Hong shut his eyes and waited for the siblings' response…

"Anyways, the decision of whether to join or not is still up to you… we don't force anyone to join in and you only have five minutes to think about it and give me your response…"

Min Hong shut his eyes and waited for the siblings' response…

After about four minutes of contemplation, Kun Chao looked over to Min Hong and spoke; "Three conditions…"

"Shoot!" Min Hong replied calmly…

"Firstly, your faction must support me on this mission of mine and help me successfully complete it…"

"Secondly, my views and perspective about certain matters must be considered by the leader of your faction at all costs…"
