Chapter 543: Chapter 270: Tian Xie and Yin He (2)

"Rest assured, I won’t force you to do anything heinous, nor will I push you to violate your principles. How does that sound?"

Chu Xuan rarely furrowed his brow in thought. Just as Madam Yinhe was eagerly awaiting his response, he said, "No, I still want you to be my dog."

Smack! Yinhe slapped him again and gritted her teeth:

"Ungrateful. Next, just wait and see how I’ll deal with you. Rest assured, I won’t let you die so easily."

After saying that, Yinhe tossed the scissors in her hand and turned to leave.

However, she had barely taken a few steps when she was shocked to see a flash of dark green light behind her, followed by the sound of chains clattering to the ground.

Immediately, Yinhe let out a scream of surprise, as if her soul had been cut with a sharp sword, and she convulsed and fell to the ground.

Yet Chu Xuan didn’t even glance at her. A small, black three-legged cauldron suddenly appeared at the doorway of the torture chamber, blocking another Madam Yinhe’s path.

The mouth of the cauldron was like a black hole, facing Yinhe’s face, emitting a terrifyingly silent devouring power, causing her to back away in fear.

The figure of the woman who had fallen was already transformed into the shadow of a floating leaf, dissipating into nothingness.

Yinhe turned around and saw Chu Xuan pull the last Jade Hook Saber from his shoulder blade. He grimaced with a sinister smile and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, "Where do you think you’re going?"

Yinhe’s face turned pale, but she maintained her composure and said, "How did you escape? The Black Iron Soul Binding Chain can repress Divine Sense, the Nether Jade Hook Saber can lock Magical Power, not to mention you were poisoned with ’Mind Losing Poison’."

"And where exactly did you hide this magic artifact? We clearly searched you before, and found nothing in your three dantians."

As she spoke, she secretly crushed a jade talisman hidden in her sleeve.

Chu Xuan stretched his stiff body, "Stop wasting your effort. The Returning Ruins Ancient Cauldron has already sealed this place, even the void outside has been isolated, any energy flow will be devoured by it."

"Until this flawless seal is lifted, no information can be sent out, nor can any information come in."

"As for how I escaped," Chu Xuan smiled, "you might as well look forward to how I’ll deal with you next, and then we can discuss this issue."

The truth is simple. Chu Xuan had to admit that the ’Mind Losing Poison’ caught him off guard.

But as long as it’s not a poison that causes instant death upon consumption, the Celestial Water Returning Ruins Technique he cultivated essentially makes him immune to toxins, as any foreign poisons would be automatically devoured by the ’Returning Ruins’ whirlpool within his body.

In fact, after that ’Feast at Hongmen’ concluded, the toxins within Chu Xuan’s body were almost cleared out, yet he continued to pretend that he couldn’t sense his magical power, allowing Yinhe to have him captured.

During this process, although his storage artifacts and external items were taken by the opponent, the Returning Ruins Ancient Cauldron was different; he temporarily hid it within the ’Returning Ruins’ whirlpool.

The power between these two shared the same source, allowing him to do this in a short time, otherwise no magic artifact would remain.

What followed was simple. Chu Xuan willingly took a dangerous risk, feigning capture to seize a perfect opportunity for counter-attack.

His greatest confidence came from the Six Souls Banner, hidden in his sea of consciousness, beyond anyone’s search.

The Black Iron Soul Binding Chain could only lock Chu Xuan’s Divine Sense within his body, but couldn’t stop him from communicating with the Six Souls Banner in his sea of consciousness. As long as he summoned the power of the Six Souls Banner, he could break the chains, remove the saber, and regain complete freedom.

Yinhe recalled the rumors and evaluations about the demonic figure Tian Xie outside, and finally started to fear as she gritted her teeth and retreated step by step, "You... don’t be too arrogant."

...

Not long after, Madam Yinhe, who had attempted to resist to the end, was easily captured by Chu Xuan and returned to her original state, shackled to the wall.

To be honest, despite Madam Yinhe’s sixth realm cultivation and her formidable Divine Techniques, Dharma Phase, and magic artifacts, she had rarely fought hand-to-hand, making her truly inferior to Chu Xuan.

Looking at the woman with hatred in her eyes staring at him, Chu Xuan unceremoniously slapped her, "Say, would you like to be my dog?"

With a bright red handprint on her face, Yinhe laughed bitterly, "Come on, if you have the guts, kill me! I want to see how you escape the Mist Traveling Boat."

She wasn’t actually unafraid of death, but was convinced that Chu Xuan wouldn’t dare to kill her.

Among the three Ping Masters, Yinhe was the weakest, and the leading old Ping Master was even cultivated to the third mysterious realm.

In her view, even if Chu Xuan miraculously escaped, he couldn’t flee from this treasure ship alone; he must guarantee her safety to take her hostage.

Chu Xuan smiled slyly and said, "No need for you to worry about that."

"Changed your mind? I don’t have as much patience as you. Either be my dog or die; I’ll count to ten."

Yinhe coldly stared at him, "No need to count, just do it."

Chu Xuan shook his head and wiped his face, instantly transforming into the likeness of Yinhe with the same exquisite resemblance to her, including her demeanor and aura.

He smiled sweetly, "Now do you think I can’t escape?"

Inevitably, his voice was also Yinhe’s voice. Chu Xuan, as a loose cultivator, had crawled to his current status with this ability gained from "Lord of a Thousand Faces," helping him quite a bit.

Madam Yinhe’s expression changed, but she still put up a strong front, "Don’t assume it’s that simple. The tight security of the Mist Traveling Boat far exceeds your expectations. You don’t have the token or the passcode, even if you look like me, you can’t get out."

Chu Xuan began searching Yinhe’s body meticulously, causing her to curse while blushing, "Beast! What are you doing?"

"I’ve heard that the Tian Xie Demon Monarch calls himself ’Flower Protector’, but upon meeting today, I’ve realized you’re just a shameless lecherous thief driven by lust."

Chu Xuan shook his head, "Don’t try to provoke me. Without finding the token on you, how will I get out?"

"And the so-called ’passcode’ can also be pried from your mouth. Rest assured, there’s plenty of time, I have many means to deal with you gradually."

Yinhe finally felt a bit panicked, sensing she had lost all leverage in front of this man.

At the same time, she inwardly cursed those two decrepit elders for constantly guarding against her, not allowing her to control the Cyan Willow Sword, and now not even the Mist Traveling Boat’s authority was hers, making her end up in such a predicament.

Soon, Yinhe couldn’t endure his harassment and proactively told him where the token was.

Chu Xuan regretfully withdrew his hand, "You actually could’ve said it more slowly."

"You despicable shameless scoundrel!" Madam Yinhe was infuriated, vowing to dismember this man and feed him to the dogs in the future.

Chu Xuan tenderly reached out his finger, gently caressing her face, "I lied earlier, you truly are a stunning beauty."

"But trying to bind me with your body to make me work for you is underestimating me."

"I may be lustful, but I’m not foolish to that degree."

"Of course, I know you were probably coaxing me, not risking your body. After all, who would treat a dog so well, two bones are quite generous."

"But I want to say, I initially came with sincere intentions for collaboration, since my followers count as an informal group, and I indeed need the support of Wugen Ping in intelligence."

"Unfortunately, you showed no sincerity, only trying to use and entrap me, imprisoning me. I’m quite heartbroken."

Madam Yinhe listened and looked at him skeptically, "What do you mean?"
