Under the influence of such an aura, no one would be able to escape and act rashly. It would only hasten their deaths.
Bai Bingxuan gritted her teeth and glared at Yun Yang hatefully. "What do you want?"
Yun Yang smiled. "Looks like Lady Bai is a smart one."
Bai Bingxuan sneered, "You hid your strength and didn't kill us. You waited until now to show your strength and kill one of us in an extremely bloody manner … to intimidate us. It's obvious that you have ulterior motives and plans for the rest of us after going through so much trouble."
Yun Yang clapped his hands and praised, "Smart indeed! Why don't someone as smart as Lady Bai make another guess? What do I want from you all? "
Bai Bingxuan snorted and said coldly, "No matter what you want, you're destined to never get any information or clues from me."
Yun Yang smiled gently and said, "Really? Lady Bai doesn't look like a heartless person to me! "
Bai Bingxuan's expression changed at once and she said angrily, "What do you want?"
Yun Yang landed leisurely in front of Bai Bingxuan and said with a gentle smile, "I just want to invite Miss Bai to have a chat with me. I'm sure Miss Bai will give me this little bit of face."
"We're enemies. Why should I give you face?" Bai Bingxuan said coldly.
Before Bai Bingxuan's words echoed in the air, a sharp saber light flashed again and nine rays of saber light shot forward.
A cat demon who was watching Yun Yang carefully cried out in pain. First, its head was chopped off, then its left hand, right hand, left shoulder, right shoulder, left leg, right leg …
Before the saber could land on its chest, the cat demon had already revealed its true form. It was another tabby cat!
This Cat Demon's cultivation was even weaker than the Cat Demon that had just perished. Thus, it perished!
Obviously, the Demonic Race's mystical art was linked to one's cultivation base other than one's talent. This was another piece of information!
The other five people cried out in shock and gathered together, moving behind Bai Bingxuan. They looked at Yun Yang cautiously, their gazes filled with terror as if they were looking at a devil or the Grim Reaper who could take their lives at any time.
"Young Miss Bai, we'd better have a chat, what do you say?!"
Yun Yang advised gently, "I'm alright in other aspects, but I'm a little curious. Once you get interested in something, if you don't understand it, you won't be able to sleep or eat. "
"As for me now, I'm extremely interested in this mission of yours. I hope Miss Bai can fulfill my wish."
Bai Bingxuan's face was pale. "If I still don't agree, will you kill another one of my clansmen? Yun Yang, you are despicable! "
Yun Yang sighed and said pitifully, "All the power is in Lady Bai's hands. How am I despicable? Didn't Lady Bai just say that we're enemies? Me killing the alien race is a good deed that should be boasted about, no matter where I put it! As for whether I will kill another one of Lady Bai's clansmen, it depends on who among them is the unluckier one … After all, before I strike, I don't know who I'm going to kill this time. Right, I've been suppressing my ability all this time. I've been suppressing it too much, causing my control of my strength to be a little off. It's very possible that I'll kill two or even three more people later. I can really do it. Won't Lady Bai doubt it? "
Bai Bingxuan screamed shrilly, "Yun Yang, you're the newly promoted leader of the middle-class Celestial Luck Banner. Don't you think it's shameful to coerce a little girl like this?"
Yun Yang smiled. "Why would I? If it were someone else, I might feel a little uncomfortable being so overbearing and condescending, but I won't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable when it comes to Lady Bai. "
"Why?" Bai Bingxuan asked angrily, gritting her teeth.
"Because Lady Bai, you … are no ordinary woman." Yun Yang grinned, showing his teeth.
"What's the difference?" Bai Bingxuan asked, unconvinced.
"Because you … are a female cat!" Yun Yang's gaze turned icy, a stark contrast to his previous gentleness.
The words came out of the blue and pierced Bai Bingxuan's heart.
Bai Bingxuan, who was exposed in front of her, paled. Facing Yun Yang's cold gaze, she felt that it was so sharp that it could kill her directly. She could not resist it.
Yun Yang's previous intimidation, execution, and deliberate provocation were all to tear a hole in Bai Bingxuan's psyche. That was the chance for Yun Yang to take advantage of it.
Now, Yun Yang could feel the violent fluctuation of Bai Bingxuan's mental strength.
However, just as Yun Yang was about to make his move … he was suddenly stunned.
This was because the violent fluctuations had actually disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a kind of deathly, despairing calmness!
Yun Yang lifted his head abruptly and looked at Bai Bingxuan's face. Hopeless?
Why?
Bai Bingxuan shut her mouth tightly and glared at Yun Yang, saying, "Sect Leader Yun, everything has come to an end now. You don't have to waste your efforts and try to use such coercive tactics to attack me. I won't give in!"
She smiled sadly, looked at the five subordinates behind her and said, "Even if you don't kill them now, when we return, it will be difficult for us to have a good ending … At that time, death will be the easiest ending for us."
Her eyes were filled with hopelessness. "It's already a capital offense that we can't kill you. Now that the second task has failed because of you, we're destined to die. "
"Therefore, no matter how you humiliate and torture us, it's useless."
Bai Bingxuan's gaze was filled with bone-deep hatred. "We're not as good as others, so we have to accept our fate. Yun Yang, do what you want. There's no need to use any other methods to disgust us! "
"Why does Lady Bai think that this is a dead end and that there's no turning back?" Yun Yang asked in surprise. Since he knew where the crux of the matter was, Yun Yang quickly changed his mind.
At the very least, his previous ruthlessness would not have succeeded.
"How can there be any turning back now that things have come to this?"
"Lady Bai, I thought that you were really smart, but now it seems that you're just so-so. This place has long been sealed off by your deific consciousness. When I attacked, I added another layer. "
Yun Yang said with a relaxed smile, "In other words, other than the few of us here, no one else knows about what happened here, especially about the hidden item below."
"After we leave, there's no need to worry about anyone knowing. It can be said that there's no future trouble."
Bai Bingxuan said faintly, "However, it's a fact that the Meridian Severing Blood Bead is gone. Even if we've concealed this place, what awaits us is still the death penalty for not doing our job well. "
"Although the Meridian Severing Blood Bead is gone, there's still an unusually rich force of qi and blood in the pit that can be converted into something of great benefit. I think that while your lord has been longing for the Meridian Severing Blood Bead, he might not be so sure that it can be born here, right?"
Yun Yang said with a relaxed smile, "Lady Bai, I have a way to deal with this. As long as you work with me, I have a way to ensure that all of you don't die. Since it's a partnership, it's only natural that we both benefit from it. "
Bai Bingxuan snorted and turned her face away, obviously disdainful of Yun Yang's words.
"In this world, one only has one life. Once it's lost, it's gone forever … I've always treasured it. " Yun Yang said patiently, "Lady Bai, in this world, having a few more friends is much better than having a few more enemies."
"In fact, I can really guarantee that as long as you do as I say, not only will you not be punished, you'll also be rewarded greatly."
Yun Yang looked at the six people in front of him and smiled, "Lady Bai, what do you think? Think about it carefully before you make a decision. With Lady Bai's outstanding beauty, I can't help but feel pity for her. I'm not a cold-hearted person, I really can't bear to smash a living beauty into minced meat! "
Bai Bingxuan's eyes shone as she asked, "Do you really have a way?"
"Of course."
"What way? Tell me! "
"Hmm, let's … talk about it in detail."
Yun Yang had indeed wanted to intimidate them to get what he wanted, but he soon realized that it was impossible. These people did not even have the hope of survival, so why would they be afraid of death?
Therefore, Yun Yang changed his direction.
It was the same temptation of life and death, but Bai Bingxuan actually looked a little tempted after changing the way she phrased it. It was no longer as determined as before.
…
Yun Yang and the demons arrived at the Plum Garden.
Yun Yang scanned the area carefully and only entered after making sure that there were no unusual movements.
"Lady Bai, are these five subordinates reliable?" Yun Yang asked.
"They are my clansmen who have followed me for many years," Bai Bingxuan said through gritted teeth, feeling an indescribable sense of humiliation.
To actually be forced to negotiate conditions like this was simply a great humiliation!
"Alright, I'll cut to the chase and get straight to the point." Yun Yang said, "I've always been one who values fair cooperation. Let's talk about your worries first. Although I've destroyed the Meridian Severing Blood Bead and it's hard to get it back, I've mentioned that other than the Meridian Severing Blood Bead, the Mystical Yin Abyss Bead can also grow in a place like this."
"Mystical Yin Pearl?" Bai Bingxuan's eyes shone. "If it's the Mystical Yin Pearl, it's naturally more precious than the Meridian Severing Blood Bead, but it's even rarer. It only appears once in tens of thousands of years … Could it be that you have it? Are you more willing to present it to the master? "
As she spoke, she stared at Yun Yang suspiciously, her gaze filled with disbelief and disbelief.
This fellow had even destroyed the Meridian Severing Blood Bead so cleanly. How could he be so kind as to give her a Mystical Yin Pearl that was many times more precious than the Meridian Severing Blood Bead?
It was impossible no matter how she thought about it.
How could there be such a fool in this world?
"As long as both parties cooperate sincerely, a mere Mystical Yin Pearl is nothing." Yun Yang took out a small box from his ring. Once the box was taken out, the surroundings seemed to have been plunged into an eerie atmosphere, as if they were in a graveyard. The gates of hell had opened in an instant, and thousands of ghosts appeared!
When the corner of the box was opened, a menacing ghostly face emerged from the opening.
Yun Yang hollered, "Evil creature!"
He reached out and grabbed it.
Yun Yang grabbed the ghostly item and stuffed it into the box in a seemingly casual manner. He said with a smile, "Since you know how precious the Mystical Yin Pearl is, you should be able to confirm that the one in my hand is a fully formed Mystical Yin Pearl. However, I don't plan to give it to you directly. Such a precious treasure … with your ability, it'll be hard for you to even keep it. If you really take it back, your master will only be more suspicious. It's not a joke to receive the treasure with one hand and kill with the other."
Bai Bingxuan said, "Of course I understand that, but what should I do to gain the master's trust as much as possible?"
Bai Bingxuan's words meant that she had acknowledged the intention to cooperate. The rest of the cat demons' eyes lit up as well, a glimmer of hope appearing on their lifeless faces.
After all, no one would want to die if they could survive. Whether it was human or demon, all living things were the same.
Bai Bingxuan did not wait for Yun Yang to answer. Instead, she began to seriously consider how she should proceed in this direction.
It was obvious that she had agreed with Yun Yang's plan and thought that it was worth a try. It was the first time she had raised her spirits and actively planned for this collaboration. After all, she knew more about her master's thoughts than Yun Yang did. She had to consider all aspects in order to survive the current crisis.
"Speaking of gaining the master's trust and future development, to me, as long as there's a necessary connection, it's enough. For example … something that can prove the existence of the Mystical Yin Pearl …"
It was unknown what method Yun Yang had used, but Bai Bingxuan watched as he reached into the box. He seemed to be kneading it casually before he took out something that looked like fog, water, and snot. He placed it carefully in another jade box.
However, with the appearance of the small ball, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees in just a moment.
"This is … the Nightmare Soul?" Bai Bingxuan's eyes lit up as she asked.
"That's right, it's the Nightmare Soul. Wherever there are Nightmare Souls, there will be Mysterious Yin Underworld Pearls, either in the process of forming or already fully formed. Moreover, the distance between the two will never be more than ten thousand miles …"
Bai Bingxuan pursed her lips.
What?
It would never exceed the radius of ten thousand li!?
Do you know how big a ten thousand miles is?
Moreover, it was possible that the Mystical Yin Pearl that was in the process of forming existed where the Nightmare Soul was. However, it was not certain that the Mystical Yin Pearl would exist. What Yun Yang had said was a blatant substitution.
In spite of this, the substitution was undeniably successful. Even if there was only a small chance, Bai Bingxuan's master would still be interested. After all, the Mystical Yin Pearl was a dreamy treasure that could only be encountered and not sought. It was much more powerful than the Meridian Severance Blood Pearl!
At least, according to Bai Bingxuan's prediction, her master should not be able to resist this opportunity that was so close at hand!
"This is my solution to your current problem. What do you think?" Yun Yang placed the box on the table with a grin. "I believe that you only need to take this out. You don't have to worry about the rest. Your master will naturally send someone else to take care of the follow-up. With your ability … there's no way you can deal with the Mystical Yin Pearl. Naturally, you'll be able to stay out of it and have no more worries."
Bai Bingxuan frowned, seriously considering the feasibility of the plan.
"I'll take this back and explain the whole story. There's nothing wrong with the general direction … but should I pretend that I don't know anything? Or should I know that it's a ghost? "
"This depends on your understanding of your master's temperament. I don't have much to say. My only suggestion is … it's better to have a smattering of knowledge. Knowing that it's something good, but not knowing what it is can only prove that the original intention of presenting the strange object is to make up for his mistake." Yun Yang chuckled.
"Hmm, there are only a few choices for you to make. One is that your superior doesn't believe you. Two is that they are skeptical. Three is that they believe you. Whether he believes you or not, you just have to pretend to be clueless. "
"Anyway, you only found this in Lei Family's residence. You didn't find anything else."
Yun Yang said with a grin, "As for your master … as long as he knows what's good for him, he'll definitely look at you differently. Even if you're not his most capable assistant, you're still someone who's driven by luck. As long as he doesn't find the Mystical Yin Pearl, you'll be indispensable! Do you understand this? "
"Because he wants to find the Mystical Yin Pearl, and I'm the culprit, the cause?"
"That's right. The true value of a Mystical Yin Pearl surpasses too many Meridian Severing Blood Pearls. The Blood Pearls can only increase one's cultivation base, blood Qi, and foundation to a certain extent, but the Mystical Yin Pearl is an extraordinary item that leads straight to Dao! "
Bai Bingxuan's eyes grew brighter.
It could work!
It could definitely work!
"But he'll definitely come to check. Even if he doesn't come personally, he'll send his most capable subordinates."
"This is the inevitable next step. I'll be fully prepared. Whether he comes personally or sends someone else, he won't be able to obtain the Mystical Yin Pearl directly, but there will definitely be some clues. This bit of information will be enough! "
"Hmm … I can accept this cooperation." Bai Bingxuan thought about it for a long time and said in a low voice, "However, compared to what you're giving, what you can get from me isn't much."
Yun Yang was stunned. "Oh?"
"I really don't know much," Bai Bingxuan said blandly, "I don't even know anything. This is the truth. Compared to the Demon Clan, my strength is only at the bottom. The reason why my subordinates and I were assigned to carry out this mission is mainly because of our ability to transform and protect our lives. It has nothing to do with cultivation or battle prowess. If not for the fact that the Lei Family's cultivation is very limited, we wouldn't even have the right to supervise them. "
Yun Yang laughed and said, "I've already predicted this. The price you need to pay is extremely simple. I'll ask and you'll answer. If you can't answer, I won't force you. Just owe me a favor. I believe that we can still work together in the future, perhaps even for a long time. "
Bai Bingxuan forced a smile. Her expression was still a little stiff, but it was no longer as hostile as before.
"If that's the case, please ask your questions."
"Alright, my first question is … are you felines of the Demon Race? The Demon Race? "
Bai Bingxuan's expression changed instantly. She bit her lip and nodded.
"According to what I know, the Demon Race … isn't it a very powerful race in the Demon Race? Why were you sent here? "
Yun Yang looked at Bai Bingxuan suspiciously. "Rumor has it that the Nine-lives Cat King … is an existence that is not much weaker than a Daemon Emperor. I was quite critical of this, but after today's battle, the rumor is indeed true."
Rumor had it that the Nine-lives Cat King had fought with the Sacred Heart Palace's Lord Huo. After that battle, Lord Huo had a new realization and went into closed-door cultivation to attempt a breakthrough. He had not come out until now, which was why Zhan Wufei was replaced as the Sacred Heart Palace's Lord.
The Nine-lives Cat King seemed to have gained something after his return as well …
Everything else aside, Yun Yang had personally experimented with the Feline Clan's mystique of self-preservation today. Being able to stay alive even after being decapitated and having one's body crushed, it had been proven by both of them.
Although both of them had lost their lives in Yun Yang's hands, Yun Yang believed that the mystique would be more effective based on the cultivation base of the person involved. If it was used on Bai Bingxuan, the effect would definitely be higher. Thinking about the existence of a higher cultivation base, such as the Nine-lives Cat King himself, he might be an existence that could not be killed at all. How could it be ordinary?
Unexpectedly, Bai Bingxuan's expression grew even more bitter. "Back then … there was a cause for the battle between the Cat Ancestor and the Sacred Heart Palace's Lord … After the battle, Lord Cat Ancestor found out the truth by chance. He was enraged and went straight to the Demon Palace and killed the Demon Emperor's Second Crown Prince … Everyone in the Second Crown Prince's palace was killed by the mad Cat Ancestor!"
Hearing Bai Bingxuan's words, Yun Yang was shocked.
He had only asked casually, not intending to dig deeper. He did not expect to find out such an earth-shattering inside story.
"After that, the Cat Ancestor was personally captured and suppressed by the Demon Emperor. Even though the Cat Ancestor's physical body was immortal, he could not escape the Demon Emperor's limitless imprisonment and could not come out again. As the Cat Ancestor was suppressed, the Nine-Lives Cat Race was suppressed by the Empress and her clansmen. If it was light, they would be exiled; if it was serious, they would lose their lives … Almost all of the Nine-Lives Cat Race's seniors who served in the Demon Emperor's Court were imprisoned and killed with groundless charges. It was only a few decades … the millions of people who had transformed and the billions of people who had not … were all dead! Now, there are less than a thousand of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Race who can transform, and there are only a hundred thousand of them who have not. "
"The Nine-Lives Demon Cat Race that was once prosperous and domineering in the Demon Emperor's Domain now exists only in name. Destruction is imminent."
Bai Bingxuan's gaze was bleak, as if she was weeping.
"I see …" Yun Yang said, "There was no news of this in the outside world at all."
"Of course, this is the biggest scandal of the Demon Emperor's Clan in a million years. How could it not be covered up?" Bai Bingxuan's eyes glinted with resentment. "What's more, the Celestial Canine Clan, who had the closest relationship with the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Race and boasted that they had been close for millions of years, changed sides. This made the Nine-Lives Cat Race even worse."
"I don't know when the rumor started spreading, but it was said that dogs are loyal by nature and only recognize one master in their lifetime, loyal to death. Cats, on the other hand, are cunning by nature, greedy for enjoyment, fond of delicacies, and loathe work. They can betray their masters for some benefits at any time …"
"Unfortunately, this nonsense spread far and wide in the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm. It became more and more intense, and the entire Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm had no place for the Nine Lives Cat Clan … The elders of the clan were forced to move out in order to survive. Unexpectedly, this indirectly confirmed the rumor that they had betrayed their masters."
"The time when we were hunted by the entire Demon Emperor's Realm was the darkest time for the Nine-Lives Cat Race … Those who managed to escape the Demon Emperor's Realm, reach the outside world safely, and survive …" Bai Bingxuan said sadly, "I don't know how many, but … the number is definitely not many. My father, mother, uncles, aunts, and the others all perished during the escape … However, on our journey, there were six to seven thousand people who escaped together, but in the end, only the eight of us survived. "
Her eyes were rimmed red as she murmured, "Now … only six are left …"
Yun Yang did not expect his casual question to elicit such a shocking piece of information. Just this alone was already worth the ticket price he had paid for this set-up.
