Yuji had previously faintly guessed that Tan Xiu was a cultivator from China. Now that she got confirmation from him, her heart sank to the bottom. Ever since she was taken to the bed by the Palace Master, she was strictly warned that even if she provoked the cultivators of the Western world, she must never provoke the cultivators of China and Buddhism.
For 80 years, Yuji's cultivation had been constantly improving with the help of the Joyous Divine Art. Thus, she gradually forgot the Palace Master's warning. But now, she finally understood how powerful cultivators were. She also knew that Kuwako's backer was a cultivator from China.
To live?
To die?
Or to live a life worse than death?
Yuji didn't hesitate about the three choices and directly said, "I'll tell you everything you want to know. I just hope that you'll let me go far away after I tell you what you want to know. Leave Japan and Asia. "
"You're not qualified to talk to me about conditions." Tan Xiu shook his head. "Besides, I'm afraid you would've left long ago if you could go far away so easily, no?"
"How do you know?"
Yuji's expression changed.
"There must be someone in the Joyous Palace you're afraid of." Tan Xiu sneered. "That person can easily find your whereabouts. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape from him. If you were to reveal his information, I'm afraid you'll be hunted down endlessly. "
Yuji fell into silence. She knew that what Tan Xiu said was the truth. The Palace Master's divine ability was very strange. Once she betrayed him, he would have a way to find her no matter where she fled to. Even if he didn't do it himself, he would probably send a large number of assassins from the Joyous Palace to hunt her down endlessly until she was killed. The other possibility was that the Palace Master would personally take action. At that time, it wouldn't be as simple as being killed, but a life worse than death.
"You may be powerful, but you're nothing but an ant to me," said Tan Xiu calmly. "As long as you do what I want, not only can I save your life, but I can also preserve your cultivation."
"My injuries are too severe and my body is severely damaged." Yuji shook her head and said, "Even a celestial being can't cure me. The best outcome would be to use the reincarnation secret technique to seize someone else's body. At that time, the soul compatibility would be very low. Even if he were to cultivate again, it would be very difficult to achieve any results. "
Sensing Yuji's unwillingness, Tan Xiu immediately took out a bottle of healing medicine from his Interspatial Ring and quickly stuffed it into her mouth. Then, he personally stripped her naked and looked at the various wounds on her body. He directly picked her up and walked to the bathroom. After filling the bathtub with warm water, he poured the medicine inside and said, "I'm sure you've already felt the effect of the medicine I just gave you. If you soak in this warm water for half an hour, you will be able to survive and even obtain great benefits. Now, you just need to tell me, are you willing to work for me? "
Yuji's heartbeat sped up. She realized that this Chinese cultivator had a mysterious and unfathomable divine ability that might even have an effect on her. She immediately replied resolutely, "I'm willing."
Tan Xiu threw her into the bathtub and quickly undid the restriction on her body. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. You should know the consequences of betraying me after making your choice. You'll suffer great pain, but you must endure it for at least half an hour. The longer you persist, the greater the benefits will be. I'll wait for you outside. "
After saying that …
Tang Xiu directly walked out of the bathroom. He didn't have the slightest interest in Yuji's naked body. After all, her body was even inferior to a prostitute in his eyes.
"ARGH …"
A heart-wrenching scream came from the bathroom behind him. Tan Xiu, however, ignored the scream. Anyone who wasn't injured would be in extreme pain after being tempered by the Body Refining Medicine. Yuji, on the other hand, had wounds all over her body, many of which touched her internal organs. The pain brought to her by the Body Refining Medicine was ten times more than that of an ordinary person.
Half an hour later.
Tan Xiu arranged a Feng Shui array around Xiao Fang. This array didn't have much offensive power, but it had a very strong defensive power. Whether it was an external attack or an internal explosion, there was no way to easily rush out if one didn't know how to break the array.
He was on guard.
Although he was very powerful and had the chance to defeat a Spirit Formation Stage expert, he wasn't 100% sure that he could make the other party stay if they wanted to escape and had a secret escape technique.
After arranging the array, Tang Xiu came to the place where Osashi Kitagishi was imprisoned. In just ten minutes, Osashi Kitagishi spilled out everything he knew about the matter. He even revealed some of his guesses and thoughts.
However …
Tan Xiu didn't spare his life and directly killed him.
The next morning.
When the first ray of sunlight rose from the east, Yuji, who was dressed in clean clothes, came out of her room and came to the courtyard. She saw Tang Xiu sitting cross-legged on a bluestone and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"How should I address you, Mister?"
This time, Yuji didn't speak English but asked in fluent Mandarin.
Tan Xiu lightly glanced at her and said, "Tan Xiu."
Yuji covered her mouth and chuckled. "You're very powerful, Mister Tang. You're the strongest person I've ever seen aside from Miyaji. It's just that I'm feeling very good now, and I've never felt so good before. That's why I'd like to consult you, Mister Tang. "
Challenge?
A disdainful look flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes as he lightly said, "It's impossible for you to recover from your injuries even if you have Holy Healing medicine and Body Refining medicine. The feeling you're having now is due to the enhancement of your physique. If you really think you can challenge me now, then you're gravely mistaken. "
Yuji's expression slightly changed, but she restored her smiling expression in an instant and smilingly said, "Mr. Tang, we Japanese have always respected the strong. I think Kuwako Yamamoto is condescending to serve you because of your strength. If you want me to be your subordinate, then I hope you can make me submit completely. "
"Allow me, Sect Master."
Mo Awu floated over and respectfully said.
Tan Xiu shook his head and lightly said, "Since she chose to challenge me, then I'll satisfy her request. Awu, you have a good physique, so I'll tell you one thing today. You can defeat your enemy with a strong physique even if your cultivation level is slightly lower. "
With that said, Tan Xiu instantly appeared in front of Yuji and blasted her without any fancy moves. The fist shadow was as fast as a meteor and bombarded Yuji's abdomen in nearly the blink of an eye. Immediately after, Tan Xiu soared up and kicked hundreds of lightning-fast kicks in a second, including at least a dozen kicks on Yuji's body.
It was a violent and frantic storm.
Although Yuji felt that she was in a good state and realized that Tan Xiu was very strong, she never dreamed that the gap between them would be so big.
The competition was not like a fight to the death.
It was very difficult for the contestants to unleash their most powerful attacks because they had to be careful not to kill their opponents. She felt that Tan Xiu's attack yesterday was the most powerful one he could unleash with his sword. Now that he didn't use his sword, even if he was very powerful, he could only be on par with her.
However …
Only after feeling the constant blows to her body did she realize that she was so wrong.
"I admit defeat!"
Less than half a minute later, Yuji, who was bombarded and screamed many times, finally couldn't help but beg for mercy.
Tan Xiu stopped his attacks and returned to the big bluestone to sit cross-legged. He looked at the battered and exhausted Yuji, who was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, and indifferently said, "I was just testing my moves yesterday, so I didn't really ravage you. Since you asked for it today, then I might as well fulfill your wish. "
Yuji wiped the bloodstain on the corner of her mouth and looked at Tan Xiu with particularly bright eyes. She staggered to the front of Tan Xiu, directly knelt down and slowly said, "Thank you for sparing my life. You're indeed very strong, but there's still a big gap between you and Miyaji. Further, Miyaji has many subordinates and experts in the entire Joyous Palace are as many as clouds in the sky. You're no match for him with your strength alone. Kuwako is just a nobody. She can't even be ranked in the top 30 in the Joyous Palace given her current cultivation. So, take her and leave the island country quickly! Don't worry, I'll never reveal your secret. "
Having said that …
She stomped the ground and bolted away like a sharp arrow. Her speed was extremely fast and she appeared outside the Xiao Boat in nearly the blink of an eye.
"He didn't chase after me?"
Yuji was happy inwardly and a smile appeared on her beautiful face. However, a second later, the smile on her face froze.
BAM …
A transparent energy shield emerged, causing Yuji to be in extreme pain and her body was sent flying in an instant. Fortunately, she was very agile and didn't fall to the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several figures appeared near Yuji, but they didn't attack her and just looked at her distressed appearance with strange smiles.
Xue Sha raised his hand to touch his chin and let out a strange smile. "This array was personally arranged by Sect Master, Belle. I'm afraid you won't be able to step out of it even if you're several times stronger. Just try if you don't believe me. I just hope you don't come crying to Sect Master and beg for mercy. "
An array?
Yuji's complexion turned pale. She knew how powerful arrays were because her Master, the princess of the Joyous Palace, was an expert in arranging arrays, some of which even she was afraid of.
"BREAK IT!"
Yuji unwillingly bombarded the energy shield. Ripples spread out and the energy shield calmed down, but Yuji was shaken back.
Tang Guang didn't say anything but directly threw a sharp longsword at her.
Yuji's breathing stagnated. After catching the longsword, she brandished the sword and kept attacking the energy shield in front of her. But it was all in vain. She simply couldn't break this array and couldn't escape.
Finally …
Yuji returned to Tan Xiu with a fearful expression and knelt down.
