Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns novel Chapter 154

Brennen, who was struggling and begging for mercy, suddenly trembled.

His body tensed up.

The veins were popping out.

He looked so painful.

Jacob had searched through ordinary people's souls, but he only used it as a kind of hypnosis.

But now he didn't hold back against Brennen.

Seeing this, Yana bit her lips and clenched her fists.

If Jacob searched through Brennen's soul, Jacob would know many secrets of the Pharmacy Pavilion.

Yana wanted to stop Jacob, but she was too weak to do it.

"Just enjoy yourself."

Jacob said coldly to Brennen.

It was no less painful than chopping Brennen up into little bits.

However, Jacob was not soft-hearted at all.

Those who dared to hurt his friends would only end up miserably.

Brennen heard it and trembled even more before he collapsed.

The pain on his face grew more intense.

Brennen had never been so sure that he just wanted to die now.

If he died, he would be free.

However, he was still suffering!

"Enjoy yourself. You'll die in ten hours!"

It sounded as if Jacob was saying this from hell. Everyone trembled in fear.

After knowing everything about the Pharmacy Pavilion from Brennen's mind, Jacob threw him away like garbage.

Brennen fell and left another big hole in the ground.

Brennen seemed to have fallen apart as he spread out in the hole. His face twisted in pain.

...

Then, Jacob looked at Yana again.

He smiled meaningfully.

"I didn't expect that Miss Cox has such a great body!"

Jacob sneered.

"What are you talking about?"

Yana's voice was cold.

"Nothing important. I just saw something in his mind that I shouldn't have seen," Jacob sneered.

After searching through Brennen's soul, Jacob found that Brennen had peeked Yana when she was bathing.

There were only a few images, and Yana was not completely naked.

But Jacob just wanted to mock her.

"You...."

Yana gritted her teeth, and her beautiful eyes widened.

She was smart. She knew what Jacob meant.

Now Yana felt as if she was completely naked in front of Jacob, from head to toe, from the inside out.

She was embarrassed and angry.

She turned to look at Brennen, who had been smashed into the pit by Jacob. Her eyes were filled with bloodlust.

Then she turned around and decided not to care about Brennen.

Jacob sneered even more.

Then he moved his fingers and drew a Soul IOU in the air again.

Jacob flicked his fingers and the IOU came to Yana.

"Sign it."

Jacob said with a cold smile.

In China, things in the Pharmacy Pavilion were probably the most useful to him.

Jacob was greatly tempted by the precious medicines they had hoarded for hundreds of years.

From Brennen's memories, Jacob knew that the Pharmacy Pavilion had more precious medicines than all the secluded families combined.

Even Brennen knew that there were dozens of medicines that had been growing for thousands of years.

Moreover, the Pharmacy Pavilion possessed a large spirit spring that could nurture spirit medicines all the time.

After Third Elder was killed by Jacob, Yana had expected that.

Looking at the IOU in front of her, Yana simply gritted her teeth and dripped a drop of blood on it.

She didn't want to be like Lance, who only signed it after Jacob beat him half to death.

The moment Yana dripped her blood, the Soul IOU took effect.

Yana felt as if something shackled her soul.

If she didn't pay Jacob those treasures according to the IOU, her soul would be torn apart.

Yana looked at Jacob and said, "I hope you'll keep your promise!"

"Sure," Jacob sneered.

Then, Jacob looked at Fourth Elder.

Fourth Elder's face also changed. He immediately said, "I'll sign it!"

Fourth Elder had been afraid of Jacob, so he did not dare to screw with Jacob.

Otherwise, he would end up like Brennen.

Fourth Elder enjoyed a high status in the Pharmacy Pavilion and even in the whole China.

Moreover, he held power.

But the higher status people enjoyed, the more afraid they were of death.

Otherwise, the Pharmacy Pavilion would not have spent all of their sources and money to study on panaceas that extended life.

After saying that, Fourth Elder cut his finger, and blood surged out. He was prepared to sign the IOU.

However, Jacob did not draw another one.

Instead, he sneered, "I didn't say that I wanted you to sign it."

Everyone was stunned.

Yana, Michael, Alan, and the others all thought that Jacob would rip them off again. They thought Jacob would use two Soul IOUs to make the Pharmacy Pavilion pay twice the price. But Jacob dealt them with the wild cards.

Yana was the most surprised one. She had a fine face with graces, but now she just couldn't hide her worries.

Obviously, Jacob was not that nice to just let the Fourth Elder go.

Fourth Elder himself also knew about this.

He squinted his eyes and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

Fourth Elder had cowered before Jacob. If Jacob still wanted to kill him, Fourth Elder would risk his life to prevent Jacob from doing so.

Fourth Elder made up his mind.

However, Jacob's words surprised everyone once again.

He looked at Fourth Elder and said, "Take me as your master and be my servant!"

However, Jacob was not interested in his talent or background.

It was only because Fourth Elder had reached the intermediary Divinity Phase. So, he must be strong enough.

Few people on Earth could cultivate to that phase.

China reached over a billion people, but the number of cultivators at the Divinity Phase did not exceed a hundred.

Jacob had his own plans, and he was not afraid of forcing so many geniuses of the secluded families to sign the IOU.

However, Jacob was worried that they would attack his friends in the secular world.

Jacob did not want it to happen again. The Ghosts Santiago and Tyrone had once taken Kaley and his subordinates away when Boyce went south.

Therefore, he needed one or two martial masters at the Divinity Phase to protect Kaley and the others at the Riverside City.

However, his words left everyone in shock.

Jacob wanted to take a master at the Divinity Phase as his servant!

Fourth Elder did not just step into the Divinity Phase. He was at the intermediary Divinity Phase. And he was also a powerful elder of the Pharmacy Pavilion.

Even if Jacob was also at the Divinity Phase, he didn't have the qualifications to do so.

Unless he was at the peak Divinity Phase, or above it, like the legendary phase. Only then was he qualified to take someone at the Divinity Phase as his servant.

However, it was even impossible for a master at the peak Divinity Phase to make it.

Fourth Elder's face changed.

And he looked very gloomy.

It was impossible for him to take Jacob as his master.

However, Jacob sneered, "It's your honor to take me as your master."

Jacob was the Emperor of the Dark Realm. Many people wanted to be his servants, but he didn't even give them a chance.

Jacob was not an idiot.

People on Earth looked at the world through a keyhole. They could not understand what he meant.

Therefore, Jacob didn't waste any words.

He took a step forward and appeared beside Fourth Elder in a blink of an eye.

Although Jacob preferred a conscious servant, he didn't mind making Fourth Elder, a Divinity Phase cultivator, an unconscious puppet.

"I'll give you two choices. First, take me as your master and be a conscious servant."

"Second, I make you an unconscious puppet at the Divinity Phase."

"Now, you have three seconds to think about it!"

After saying that, Jacob looked coldly at Fourth Elder.

Fourth Elder clenched his fists as his Zhen Qi surged wildly.

But Jacob didn't really care about his reaction.

"Three!"

Jacob's eyes shone brightly.

The veins were popping out of Fourth Elder's forehead. It was obvious that he didn't want to choose either of them.

All the nourishing mana from the earth and heaven were drawn to him like crazy.

"Two!"

Jacob remained indifferent as he said.

"I can sign the IOU. But it's impossible for me to take you as my master. Jacob, don't make me do this!"

Fourth Elder said coldly.

Jacob only replied with a cold smile.

He was not here to discuss it with Fourth Elder.

Just as Jacob was about to say "one".

Yana suddenly spoke.

"Fourth Elder."

Yana called him and nodded slightly. She didn't say anything else.

But she knew that Fourth Elder could understand.

Yana could tell that Jacob was not joking.

When he said that he could turn Fourth Elder into a puppet, Yana believed that Jacob could really do it.

Even though it sounded unbelievable, Yana felt that Jacob could make it.

However, she did not want Fourth Elder to become like that.

She did not want him to be a walking dead.

And now, they could buy some time by taking Jacob as his master.

Yana believed that no matter what Jacob did, the Pavilion Master, Grand Elder, and the previous Supreme Pavilion Master, who had led a secluded life for many years, could fix it together.

Fourth Elder clenched his hands.

His mind was racing as he weighed the options.

If he took Jacob as his master, he had to carry this stigma even if Jacob got killed by the Pharmacy Pavilion in the end.

It would also be a disgrace to him for his entire life, and he would live with it for dozens of years.

It turned him into a joke.

But Jacob didn't care about him.

"One!"

Jacob said.

The moment Jacob said "one".

Fourth Elder made a decision and blurted out, "Alright!"

"Are you willing to be my servant now?" Jacob asked in a mocking tone with a sneer.

"Yes! I'll be your servant." Fourth Elder gritted his teeth.

He looked greatly mortified.

"But I've counted one. It's too late!"

Jacob sneered.

The power of chaos surged out of his palm.

Then Jacob threw a punch.

He was so fast that he appeared in front of Fourth Elder in a second.

Jacob hit on his chest.

Fourth Elder flew backwards and snorted blood.
