Yu Qingping and Zhou Wuyue exchanged glances, their expressions one of bemusement, noses raised with a mix of disbelief and amusement.
It was clear from their cold gazes that they found his demeanor rather amusing. After a brief silence, Yu Qingping broke it with a sharp, commanding tone.
"Are you truly decisive enough to become a member of my Soul Seizing Sect?"
His words hung in the air, carrying an unspoken weight, as he subtly unleashed a field of spiritual consciousness that surrounded Chao Yun like an invisible chain.
Chao Yun, still only a Primordial Mortal General, staggered slightly under the oppressive force.
His legs quivered, his body shaking under the immense pressure, but what truly disturbed him was not the physical weight of the energy, but the unyielding force attempting to break his will.
