Seeing Uchiha Madara's movements, Lin Xuan's heart also skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that if the reanimated person knew the hand seals of the Edo Tensei, they could voluntarily break the contract of the reanimation.
In the original Naruto series, Uchiha Madara had forcibly broken free from the control of the Edo Tensei.
He quickly asked the system, "System, he won't escape my control, will he?"
The system replied, "Host, rest assured. The Hyper-Dimensional Edo Tensei does not have this flaw. As long as the host wishes, you can completely control anyone reanimated by you at any time!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan immediately felt at ease.
However, the system then added, "Host, please note that under forced control, the Edo Tensei can only be maintained for a limited time—one day. If the reanimated person willingly serves the host, there is no such restriction. As long as the sacrificial body's vitality remains, the reanimated person can continue to exist indefinitely!"
Lin Xuan frowned and thought, So, I can only control Madara for one day? It seems I can't afford to waste any more time here!
He had to make the most of this limited day to use Uchiha Madara to escape danger and earn as much reputation value as possible!
Turning his attention back to Uchiha Madara, the man had just attempted to break free but found he couldn't release the Edo Tensei as he'd expected. His expression darkened.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh. "What's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be incredible? Go ahead and break the Edo Tensei—let's see you try!"
Uchiha Madara's face darkened further. Suddenly, he raised his head and locked his Sharingan onto Lin Xuan.
Genjutsu—activate!
He was attempting to use genjutsu to control Lin Xuan and force him to release the Edo Tensei.
But he was soon stunned again.
Because he realized his genjutsu had no effect on Lin Xuan whatsoever!
"How is this possible?!"
Uchiha Madara's face was filled with disbelief.
He was Uchiha Madara! How could he fail to control an ordinary person?
Even if his power was limited due to the poor quality of the sacrificial body in this Edo Tensei form, this shouldn't be happening!
Lin Xuan seemed to read his thoughts, and his smile widened.
He realized he quite enjoyed seeing arrogant figures like Madara look so bewildered in front of him—it was just too amusing!
Then, he laughed heartily and said, "Don't bother trying. Even if you cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi right now, it wouldn't work on me! Because I'm the one who reanimated you in this world. Even if I'm just an ordinary person right now, to you, I am invincible!"
"You know about the Infinite Tsukuyomi?!"
Uchiha Madara's pupils constricted sharply. He then demanded sharply, "Who exactly are you? How do you know so much? Where is this place? What do you want?!"
"You're asking me so many questions at once—how am I supposed to answer?" Lin Xuan shrugged.
Just then, he noticed that the jailers outside the cell, who had been stunned by his earlier display of the Edo Tensei, were now regaining their senses and approaching.
"Hey! Kid, what did you just do?"
"Where did that whale guy go?"
"I'm warning you—the collar around your neck can explode. You'd better surrender, or you're dead!"
...
Several jailers snarled threats at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan frowned, not in the mood for chatter. With a thought, he commanded: Control Uchiha Madara!
Rayleigh had been observing Lin Xuan and Uchiha Madara closely from the start. After all, the way Madara had appeared was just too bizarre!
Moreover, Madara gave him a strange feeling—seemingly incredibly powerful, yet inexplicably carrying an aura of decay, as though he weren't alive at all!
Rayleigh found the relationship between the two odd and had been listening to their conversation, only to grow more and more confused.
Terms like "Edo Tensei" and "control" made no sense to him.
But he could clearly tell that these two were at odds—the one called Uchiha Madara had even tried to attack the one named Lin Xuan.
Before Rayleigh could figure out their relationship, he saw several jailers approaching Lin Xuan's cell.
Among them, Rayleigh recognized one—a sharply dressed man named Roya, one of the main executives of the slave auction house!
"What's going on here? Why isn't this guy wearing a collar or handcuffs?" Roya strode toward the cell, berating his subordinates.
"Master Roya..."
The jailers guarding the place didn't know how to explain and were just about to speak when Uchiha Madara suddenly turned around in the cell and activated his genjutsu.
What Rayleigh saw was this: Uchiha Madara spun around, and the three tomoe in his blood-red eyes began to swirl rapidly.
Sharingan—Genjutsu!
Instantly, Roya and his men froze in place, their expressions turning blank.
Huh?
What just happened?
Rayleigh's heart skipped a beat.
Then, something even more shocking occurred.
Thud!
With a dull sound, Roya and his men suddenly dropped to their knees, prostrating themselves before Lin Xuan and Uchiha Madara!
