Chapter 443: Chapter 442: Indeed, She is a Demoness
"After you stirred up trouble in the Duanmu Family, you became famous, and then, the major powers came together to make an important decision..."
Immortal Yan looked at Yang Fei lying quietly and paused, observing his reaction.
However, she felt increasingly annoyed.
Yang Fei had unexpectedly closed his eyes.
Unable to restrain herself, Immortal Yan huffed, "Don’t you want to know what decision they made?"
Yang Fei did not speak.
Frustrated, Immortal Yan clenched her teeth and finally could not help but say, "They have completely sealed off the Hidden Sect, and from this moment on, no one is allowed to leave. So, you being in my hands is actually lucky, at least you won’t be discovered."
Yang Fei slightly furrowed his brow.
The Hidden Sect was completely sealed off?
This was indeed troublesome.
Even if he restored his True Qi and escaped from this woman, leaving the Hidden Sect would now be impossible.
After witnessing the peak combat power of the Hidden Sect, Yang Fei had a new understanding of the strength of its powerful members. He knew his identity as a Taoist Inheritor was too important to them. Since they decided to lock down the Hidden Sect, they would surely station several powerhouses at the exit.
This reckless entry into the Hidden Sect world was thoughtless.
He wasn’t particularly regretful.
He was just a bit annoyed that he had become a prisoner.
His master had said someone would secretly protect him after he entered, but days had passed, and no one had made contact.
Of course, it was also possible that his movements were so hidden that the protectors his master mentioned did not know of his presence earlier.
Even if they knew now, they were powerless, at most scouring the world in search of him.
"What is this place?" Yang Fei’s thoughts raced through his mind as he opened his eyes and asked.
Upon hearing this, Immortal Yan smiled, "Muyun City."
Yang Fei frowned and looked at her.
Immortal Yan giggled, "Really, I am not deceiving you. This is indeed Muyun City. It is darkest under the candlelight. When I brought you into the city, no one knew. For the Duanmu people, since you had run away, you wouldn’t come back. So, in the short term, this place is actually the safest."
Yang Fei nodded silently, appreciating her point, "That makes some sense."
Then he turned to Immortal Yan and said, "You are from the Poison Sect, right? I heard that there is a remarkable genius in the Poison Sect called Immortal Yan. You are said to be capricious, acting righteously and nefariously, and privately, some call you a demoness. You must be the lady, right?"
With a radiant smile, Immortal Yan nodded, "It’s me. It’s surprising that you know so much about the Hidden Sect."
Yang Fei asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
Immortal Yan blinked her beautiful eyes playfully, "What do you think?"
Yang Fei was silent for a moment, then said, "If I give you what you want, I might die even faster, right?"
Giggling, Immortal Yan asked back, "Am I so malicious in your eyes?"
Yang Fei grunted, noncommittal.
Immortal Yan said, "Don’t worry, even if you cooperate, I won’t kill you. Verifying whether what you told me is true will still take some time. If I can gain something from this and move forward, I wouldn’t mind sharing this knowledge publicly. Otherwise, it would be a huge problem for me and even for the Poison Sect in the future."
Yang Fei looked astonished.
Immortal Yan continued with a smile, "I don’t aspire to be the best in the world. The title of being the best is very dangerous; whoever takes it dies. What I seek is simply stronger personal power and that elusive opportunity for longevity. Even the mighty Taoist sects of the past were destroyed when everyone turned against them. The world of Cultivation is constantly regressing, and yet, each sect treasures its own secrets. If this continues, the world of Hidden Sects will eventually be destroyed. It’s better to let everyone know the advanced Cultivation Techniques and let the entire world of Cultivation prosper."
Yang Fei was not just surprised but utterly dumbfounded.
He really couldn’t imagine such words coming from the so-called "demoness".
This grandeur, this magnanimity...
His gaze unnaturally fell on Immortal Yan’s proud bearing, and he couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim: It really is big!
Immortal Yan, feeling Yang Fei’s burning gaze, seemed undisturbed, as she had seen many men like him before.
She had absolute confidence in her appearance and figure.
But she didn’t intend to seduce Yang Fei with her beauty; instead, she continued, "Just think, if the entire Hidden Sect knew the true Cultivation Techniques of the Taoist, wouldn’t it glorify the Taoist completely? Who would care about whether you, Yang Fei, are the true inheritor of the Taoist then? They’d be too lazy to bother you anymore. Everyone would be happy."
Yang Fei had to admit that although her words were outrageous, they gave him a very reliable feeling.
The main reason he was currently in such trouble was because possession brings worry.
But once everyone had the ’Jade’ that he possessed, who the hell would come to rob you?
"How about it? My method is pretty good, right? Don’t worry, as long as you cooperate, I definitely won’t kill you. The Fatty Taoist isn’t dead yet, and I’m not going to doom myself by offending him," Immortal Yan said as she looked at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei closed his eyes.
Immortal Yan grew angry and said coldly, "Don’t refuse the toast only to drink the forfeit. I’ve been very polite to you, and I swear, I, Immortal Yan, always keep my word and would never lie to you."
Yang Fei spoke, "Let me think about it."
Immortal Yan was taken aback for a moment, her expression softened considerably as she said, "Sure, there’s no rush, you can think about it slowly. Of course, if you don’t agree, I also have ways to make you talk. The Poison Sect lacks nothing but ways to make people cooperate honestly. Think about it for your own sake, and for your wife waiting outside."
Immortal Yan left; the room became extraordinarily quiet again with only Yang Fei remaining.
Wait, it really is quiet here.
Yang Fei was struck by a thought and listened intently for a while, realizing it indeed was very quiet here during the broad daylight.
Given that Muyun City was bustling and busy, especially during the day, it shouldn’t be this quiet, yet he could hardly hear any noise from outside.
Even without True Essence Cultivation, his normal hearing was intact, yet he couldn’t hear anything from outside, indicating the place was rather secluded.
Perhaps Immortal Yan was deceiving him; this might not be Muyun City.
However, Yang Fei only thought about it briefly before drawing back his mind.
No matter where this place was, the most important thing now was to recover his Sea of Consciousness Divine Soul as soon as possible.
In previous Cultivation, the main focus was on enhancing True Essence Cultivation and tempering the body.
The strengthening of Divine Soul spirit was merely incidental.
Moreover, it was only after reaching the Innate Realm of the Physical Body Realm that the Sea of Consciousness truly opened up and the Divine Soul was nourished and strengthened.
Now that his True Essence had been eroded by the Bone Erosion Powder and he could not run his Cultivation Technique, Yang Fei focused all his heart on nourishing the Divine Soul.
Although he was injured during the sudden attack on Duanmu Wugou, Yang Fei felt that he just needed ten days or half a month to fully recover. By then, catching Immortal Yan off guard would be enough to subdue her.
Half an hour later, the door was pushed open, and Immortal Yan walked in.
Yang Fei’s Cultivation was interrupted, and somewhat annoyed, he said, "I haven’t figured it out yet."
From behind the screen, Immortal Yan heard Yang Fei’s words and lightly chuckled indifferently.
She came into the room holding a black wooden box, walked up to the table in the center, opened the incense burner, poured some grayish-white powder from the box into it, pressed it down into shape, and lit it with a lighter.
Having done all this, she chuckled mockingly from behind the screen, then turned and left without having said a word to Yang Fei throughout.
Yang Fei frowned slightly, not knowing what she was up to. He entered his meditation state again.
However, moments later, he abruptly opened his eyes, his eyes carrying a trace of anger, and cursed, "She really is a demoness!"
