Chapter 433: My Life Belongs to Immortal Yun!
"Do you intend to take me hostage and exchange me for Immortal Jades at the Jade Immortal Tower? Such a plan is too naive; it won't work at all!" Tang Wenqian, tears welling in her eyes, was locked in a corner.
Her beautiful eyes swept over the corpses with eyes wide open in death, and her legs trembled even more, completely losing her composure.
Yun Xiao, smiling, stood in front of her without answering her question.
WHOOSH! He suddenly reached out, grabbed Tang Wenqian's snow-white neck, and pinned her against the wall.
"Ugh..." Tang Wenqian struggled in fear, drenched in sweat, her neckline forming a deep abyss, and her face filled with terror, struggling to breathe.
What she saw was the nine-headed violet dragon on Yun Xiao's forehead, coldly staring at her.
That sense of fatality had already plunged her emotions into collapse. She became somewhat hysterical, using all her strength to say, "Yun Xiao, you've killed all the disciples of the Pathseeker Society, all descendants of the Three Immortals. Do you really understand the severity of what you've done? You've created a catastrophe! Killing Qin Ziyue is one thing, but wiping out all the descendants of the Three Immortals is a completely different matter..."
"What will happen?" Yun Xiao asked with a smile.
"The Three Immortals entrusted their offspring to the Primordial Academy for nurturing, and now they're all dead by your hand, someone protected by Dean Yu! What do you think will happen? It's a huge mess!" Tang Wenqian was still in a daze, her mind blank. Now realizing this, she broke out in a cold sweat.
"Who knows it was me?" Yun Xiao asked again with a smile.
"You have the Blood Bat Curse on you, and the Temple Head knows you came to the Primordial Academy. She might already be on her way... You can't escape..." Tang Wenqian said with a trembling voice.
"Blood Bat Curse? Do I?" Yun Xiao released one hand, showing Tang Wenqian his clean palm.
"Huh?" Tang Wenqian was stunned.
"The Temple Head will tell everyone that I haven't left the Divine Dawn Pavilion tonight. So, who could it be?" Yun Xiao said, grabbing Tang Wenqian's neck with both hands again, his voice cold, "The only person who has been here is you."
"No, that's not right... I don't have the ability or the motive..." Tang Wenqian was still gasping, shaking her head, and even began to muster her strength to resist Yun Xiao.
"It doesn't matter." After saying these three words, the nine-headed dragon on Yun Xiao's forehead suddenly entered his head, and then a vertical eye opened.
The Soulfire Eye form, empowered by over 300,000 Runes, unleashed a torrent of violet rays, pouring directly into Tang Wenqian's eyes, mere inches away.
"AGHHHH!" Her body violently trembled, convulsed, and spasmed, emitting painful cries, as her pale face suddenly flushed red. Her hands, lacking strength, rested on Yun Xiao's arms, her slender legs slowly gave way, and her delicate body slid down the wall until she was seated on the ground.
Throughout this process, a continuous stream of violet, dragon-shaped torrents flowed from Yun Xiao's vertical eye into Tang Wenqian's brain!
Until half an hour later, her sclera was dyed violet by Yun Xiao, indicating her brain had been extensively altered by the Prison Warden Sigil.
"Do only the Three Immortals have the right to bewitch the masses with the All-Life Devouring Gu? I can devour your All-Life Devouring Gu and take over your followers..." Yun Xiao's eyes swirled with violet light as he murmured to himself.
Tang Wenqian's mind had been occupied by the All-Life Devouring Gu, but now, it was gone.
BANG! Yun Xiao released her; she whimpered, collapsing to the ground, foaming at the mouth, her eyes vacant for a long time.
"Damn, she had a Genesis Spirit specialized in mental resistance. Full control is still quite difficult," Yun Xiao remarked.
This task felt more exhausting than battling Zhao Xuanran for an entire night.
"Let's just see how effective the Soulfire Eyes are…" Yun Xiao took a deep breath, looking down at Tang Wenqian.
Tang Wenqian's eyes gradually regained clarity. She shook her head, struggling to prop up her delicate body and knelt before Yun Xiao, her eyes filled with devotion. She prostrated on the ground, lifting her waist and buttocks high, calling out with utter conviction, "Immortal Yun."
"Lift your head." Yun Xiao commanded.
Trembling, Tang Wenqian lifted her head, her eyes fixated on Yun Xiao with infatuation, like a moth drawn to flames.
"Clean yourself up, go to your Jade Immortal Tower," Yun Xiao instructed.
"Yes." Tang Wenqian's dress was stained with too much blood. Right in front of Yun Xiao, she removed her dirty clothes and changed into a new set.
Throughout, she looked at Yun Xiao with an infatuated smile hanging on her lips. It was as if at this moment, she was blissfully happy, fulfilling the meaning of her life.
Yun Xiao said no more. He walked among the hundreds of corpses, absorbing all their Seeds of Creation, Life Sigils, Sword Souls, and taking all the Bags of Holding.
They were numerous and all were favored sons of heaven, their collective wealth amounting to ten times that of Dharma Crown Qin.
Excluding the membership fee, Yun Xiao also had hundreds of millions of Mid Immortal Jades. Obtaining these treasures did not excite him… because he wanted more.
"500,000 layers of Sword Aura, 530,000 Runes," Yun Xiao said to himself, barely satisfied.
The Sword Aura and Life Sigils of these Pathseeker Society members were generally inferior to his own, so he had to make up for it with quantity.
After cleaning up the hunting ground, Yun Xiao left without a word.
Tang Wenqian had tidied up her appearance, her face smiling, posture impeccable, as she pushed open the main door and stepped out.
▬ι══🪦✧⚰️✧🪦══ι▬
An hour later, Tang Wenqian appeared on the 29th floor of the Jade Immortal Tower.
"Order the stewards to come up." Tang Wenqian was as proud and astute as ever.
She was the eldest daughter of the owner of the Jade Immortal Tower and its heir, her strength and talent quite remarkable, but she was most famous for her business acumen.
The Jade Immortal Tower's profits had increased in the past few years, reportedly thanks to her.
She had established a network of sisterhood among the descendants of the Three Immortals to boost marketing, capturing the female demographic, which in turn captured their admirers, forming a positive cycle.
Now, the Jade Immortal Tower was especially popular among the youth of the Three Great Ruins, who were generally affluent.
Because of this, despite her young age, her position in the Jade Immortal Tower was very high, controlling its marketing power, and she was respected by many.
"Young miss!" Over thirty stewards neatly presented themselves before Tang Wenqian.
Tang Wenqian glanced at them and said, "I plan to change the layout logic of the products in the VIP area and have decided to close the VIP area at midnight. No more guests should be brought up after that."
"Hm?" The stewards were slightly taken aback.
An elder with a white beard asked, "Miss, closing it might require consulting the owner, right?"
"No need. My father has gone to the Sky Source Ruins for the preparations of Three Immortals Day." Tang Wenqian glanced at the elder who spoke. "Cut the chatter. I plan to distribute more VIP cards to the highly esteemed descendants of the Three Immortals to increase the VIP area's popularity. Three Immortals Day is a good opportunity and reason. Will you compensate if time is wasted?"
"The subordinate dares not," the elder hurriedly lowered his head.
"I'm going to continue working on my plan. Don't disturb me," Tang Wenqian said, giving them a glare before waving her hand dismissively. "Dismissed!"
"Yes!" The stewards nodded and left in an orderly manner. Each was responsible for one floor, and the VIP area was directly managed by Tang Wenqian herself, who had the authority to bring people up.
After giving her instructions, Tang Wenqian turned and ascended the spiral staircase to the 30th floor with the demeanor of a sharp and efficient businesswoman.
Above the 30th floor, all lights were off, plunging the area into darkness.
Only the glow of numerous magic treasures and rare items shimmered in the dark.
"Immortal Yun." After ascending the stairs, Tang Wenqian, shedding her previous arrogance, prostrated on the ground and crawled towards a white figure.
"Where's that Giant Bag of Holding you mentioned that can take away all the treasures in the VIP area?" Yun Xiao extended his hand.
"Here it is." Tang Wenqian produced a black Bag of Holding covered in inscriptions from her bosom and handed it to Yun Xiao with both hands.
"Not bad, truly spacious." After receiving it, Yun Xiao examined the space inside, feeling it could contain ten large mountains.
He then turned his gaze to the 30 floors of the Jade Immortal Tower. Before him lay a floor that was also a treasury rich enough to rival nations. Although the Jade Immortal Tower primarily dealt in magic treasures and precious ores, it also contained all sorts of treasures like pills, talismans, and primeval pearls.
Ahead lay an endless treasury! Yun Xiao could hardly imagine how much wealth was inside.
"Allying with the Three Immortals means safety, such wealth displayed here with such lax security, yet no one dares to rob it," Yun Xiao mused.
"I'm going to feast!!" Unable to restrain himself any longer, Red Moon howled and, controlling the small black beast's body, charged out.
"Take it easy, don't end up with kidney stones." Yun Xiao chuckled. After speaking, he turned to Tang Wenqian, who continued to prostrate, and asked, "Do you have any Calamity Bones?"
"Reporting to Immortal Yun, yes, on the highest 33rd floor," Tang Wenqian respectfully replied.
"Oh?" Yun Xiao's eyes brightened, then he asked, "What about Sword Hearts?"
"Yes! Also on the 33rd floor, as part of private transactions, in the private section," Tang Wenqian said.
Hearing this, Yun Xiao took a deep breath and joyfully said, "This is fantastic, you're truly my lucky star. Why didn't someone like you appear earlier?"
"My life belongs to Immortal Yun," Tang Wenqian lifted her head, her eyes filled with adoration.
"Very well." Yun Xiao paused for a moment, "Guard the entrance, don't let anyone come up."
After saying this, he opened the Giant Bag of Holding, stretching it open to a diameter of 30 feet.
WOOOOM! Yun Xiao didn't even look at what he was holding, and was just stuffing everything inside.
"Man, are you even throwing the counters in there?" Blue Star exclaimed.
