Yan Cangsheng returned to the council hall and, after some pleasantries, presented the excuse he had discussed with Yan Huazong.
"One year?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye frowned, looking at Yan Cangsheng with suspicion, "Does removing the Spirit Control Secret Technique take such a long time?"
A year was far beyond his expectations; he had planned to take Xiao Teng away with him this time.
"Indeed." Yan Cangsheng smiled slightly, "Although Blood Slaughterer's talent is mediocre, his willpower is exceptionally strong. Initially, we feared we couldn't fully control him, so the old ancestor of our Yan family personally cast the highest-level Spirit Control Secret Technique on him."
"Therefore, removing it is also very troublesome. It requires the collection of various treasures, and the old ancestor told me that it is expected to take a year."
