Under the veil, Qin Yushang’s expression shifted slightly. Following Su Jie’s words, she responded, "Of course I want it back. What are the conditions?" "I was just saying it casually, and you actually believed it!" Su Jie shrugged his shoulders, bluntly giving his reply, causing Qin Yushang’s face to darken as her phoenix eyes glared at Su Jie. "The Green Phoenix Red Flood Dragon Fan originally belongs to me." He emphasized this fact, but deep down she knew that Su Jie was a demon cultivator, and demon cultivators naturally don’t care about civility and integrity. "It was taken by me from Jialuo’s hands. I saved your life from Jialuo. Is this how you treat someone who saved your life?" Su Jie stroked the Green Phoenix Red Flood Dragon Fan, his smile filled with provocation in Qin Yushang’s eyes. But ironically, Su Jie was not wrong. If not for his intervention earlier, the Green Phoenix Red Flood Dragon Fan would have fallen into Jialuo’s hands, and she herself would have most likely suffered at Jialuo’s hands. With a deep breath, Qin Yushang suppressed the reluctance she felt towards the Green Phoenix Red Flood Dragon Fan. She now had no room to negotiate with Su Jie and turned around to leave first. It was at this moment that Yin Leibai took small steps to Su Jie’s side and whispered, "Su Sect Master, if I’m not mistaken, that woman is probably from the Heavenly Patrol Department of the Da Li Dynasty, the White Tiger Hall Master Qin Yushang, a Daoist Platform Realm Seventh Stage powerhouse." "Oh, the Heavenly Patrol Department?" Su Jie’s eyebrows twitched upon hearing this information, feeling a bit surprised to learn that Qin Yushang’s true identity was actually aligned with the Heavenly Patrol Department. "Yes, our Desire Sect has many establishments in places like Willow Streets and we have abundant information sources. This White Tiger Hall Master is at the Daoist Platform Realm Seventh Stage, cultivating the Eight Desolate Dragon Elephant Skill. She is the most outstanding prodigy of the younger generation of the Heavenly Patrol Department, receiving their dedicated training, and is hailed as a super talent expected to reach the Purple Mansion Realm within ten years." Yin Leibai spoke compliantly, despite Qin Yushang being masked, but for the knowledgeable Yin Leibai, what was revealed during Qin Yushang’s previous combat was already enough to prove her identity. "Haha, so she belongs to the Heavenly Patrol Department." Su Jie’s gaze flickered slightly as he pondered while watching Qin Yushang’s distant figure, summoning the thousand-hand centipede with a wave. The thousand-hand centipede flew down, and with one stride, Su Jie stood on the head of the centipede. Then, the thousand-hand centipede surged skyward, swiftly approaching Qin Yushang. Due to her previous severe injuries, Qin Yushang couldn’t fly fast, and soon, the thousand-hand centipede blocked her path. "Is there something else you want?" Qin Yushang, looking at Su Jie suddenly blocking her path, felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding. Sure enough, in the next moment, Su Jie suddenly spoke, "Famed Heavenly Patrol Department White Tiger Hall Master, the most outstanding prodigy of the Heavenly Patrol Department, leaving without a farewell is quite ungracious." Upon these words, Qin Yushang’s heart sank. Follow current novels on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍 The worst had happened. Her true identity was exposed to Su Jie, which made her situation very unfavorable, even more dangerous than encountering Jialuo. Because most demon cultivators are highly hostile to the Heavenly Patrol Department, which purges demons in the Da Li Dynasty, while demon cultivators often use ordinary people for cultivating demon techniques, such crimes are naturally disliked by the Heavenly Patrol Department, and demon cultivators have always been suppressed by them. With her true identity exposed to Su Jie, Qin Yushang was unsure of Su Jie’s stance. If he were hostile, she wouldn’t be able to leave Chongzhou today; facing Su Jie, even in her full health, she wasn’t his match. "Tsk tsk, unanticipated that the White Tiger Hall Master of the Heavenly Patrol Department turned out to be a young woman. If not for others revealing, I wouldn’t have guessed that the person casually conversing with me at the tavern had such high status." Su Jie’s expression was playful as he glanced up and down at Qin Yushang. Initially, Su Jie had assumed Qin Yushang belonged to some large sect, but the truth was she was part of the official power of the Da Li Dynasty. "Infamous Blood Demon Ancestor Su Jie, aren’t you equally concealing your identity, addressing a young girl every time, you’re not older than me." Qin Yushang realized there was no way to deceive further, and her personality wouldn’t allow her to bow down, so her voice was rather cold and firm. "Hehehe, quite a fiery temperament, no wonder you became the White Tiger Hall Master at such a young age. I’ve heard that the Heavenly Patrol Department has a bounty quest with my name, offering spirit stones worth over a hundred million. Now for you, the Hall Master of the White Tiger Hall, faced with this so-called wanted devil from the Heavenly Patrol Department, what will you do?" Su Jie patted his mount, the thousand-hand centipede, as the massive centipede coiled upward like a gigantic python, enclosing Qin Yushang within. The thousand-hand centipede hissed as it unleashed its Spirit Refining Divine Power, countless pale corpse hands manifested in the void, possibly numbering in the millions, everywhere seen were the pale corpse hands, densely packed. Qin Yushang gritted her teeth as the Low Grade Spirit Treasure, Thousand Shadows Jade Embroidery Silk, at her waist hurled up, forming a barrier in an attempt to resist. However, her current state of body couldn’t muster much spiritual power, making such resistance seem futile. In an instant, countless corpse hands forcibly broke through the Thousand Shadows Jade Embroidery Silk. Eight Desolate Dragon Elephant Skill! Qin Yushang bit her tongue, forcibly overdrawing her body, mustering thin spiritual power, disregarding the injuries, her fists and bones resonated. White wrists slammed down in a white force of golden ocean turmoil, shattering a multitude of pale corpse hands. With a flick of her long jade leg, like a formidable mountain-cleaving battle axe, void exploded with rolling thunder sounds, the corpse hand ocean split like waves, and vast amounts of corpse hands were destroyed by qi and blood divine power. But the consequence of forcibly spurring her combat power and stirring qi and blood was that Qin Yushang’s face grew paler by the minute, her blood quickly vaporized; she feared she’d exhaust her strength and die before being killed. But even so, Qin Yushang still did not stop at all, nor did she beg Su Jie for mercy. Her temperament was incomparably fierce. "Xiao Qian, capture her." Su Jie’s eyes shone as he looked at Qin Yushang. Seeing her performance, he admired her even more and ordered Xiao Qian to capture her. The Thousand-Handed Centipede, upon hearing the order, personally took action, its massive pale corpse hands under its belly pressed through the air, directly capturing Qin Yushang’s limbs. The Thousand-Handed Centipede was a Top Grade Eight Refinement Gu, its power enough to shatter mountains. Qin Yushang, weakened and at the end of her strength, naturally couldn’t resist. She exerted all her strength, capable of throwing dragon elephants with one arm, but in her most adept physical confrontations, she couldn’t match the Thousand-Handed Centipede. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free. Xiao Qian chirped happily, as if presenting a treasure, and brought Qin Yushang before Su Jie. From a distance, Qin Yushang looked as if she was wrapped in a lotus of corpse hands, unable to move her limbs, only able to express her anger with her fierce phoenix eyes. Su Jie looked at the captured Qin Yushang in front of him, slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers clawing towards Qin Yushang’s face. Qin Yushang closed her eyes, waiting for death to come. Qin Yushang thought, recalling the ways Su Jie had destroyed Jialuo and the Divine Monk Jing Hui in her mind. Perhaps her head would be crushed by a claw, her Primordial Spirit sucked into that Ten Thousand Soul Banner, not finding peace in death. Without fear in her heart, Qin Yushang only felt regret. There were many things she hadn’t finished, and she had let her Master down. "I’m sorry, Master..." Qin Yushang’s body gave up useless struggles, quietly waiting for death to arrive in her life. However, after several seconds, Qin Yushang felt that death was surprisingly slow in coming. It wasn’t her illusion before death; instead of feeling death approaching, she felt a slight coolness on her face. When Qin Yushang opened her confused phoenix eyes, she saw that her veil had somehow been removed by Su Jie, who was now looking at her with a smile. Suddenly, Qin Yushang, who had shown no change in expression even in the face of death, now revealed a trace of panic in her eyes. Clearly, she thought of some extremely terrible things. Was Su Jie planning to humiliate and play with her body? "What do you want to do?" Qin Yushang’s delicate body trembled, her eyebrows furrowed, glaring at Su Jie with anger. "What do you think I want to do?" Su Jie stroked his chin, admiring the peerless beauty before him. Standing in front of Su Jie was a woman with skin like凝脂, black hair like ink, a tall and graceful figure, revealing a beautiful neckline and delicate collarbones, with a splendid form and graceful bearing. Her facial features were as if sculpted by the divine, three-dimensional and exquisite, perfectly balanced, with a beauty that could overwhelm the most beautiful of all. The sunlight fell on her pale, translucent skin due to blood loss and exhaustion, reflecting a jade-like glow, making her look like crystal; her beauty was breathtaking. In terms of looks alone, she could rival Han Ruyan, but their temperaments were vastly different. If Han Ruyan was the noble peony that made all flowers lose color, then Qin Yushang was the proud snowy plum that grew in the snow and ice. Qin Yushang bit her red lips with her silver teeth, panic showing in her eyes, guessing what this man might be thinking at this time was not hard. For a moment, Qin Yushang felt hopeless; this was even harder to accept than death itself. "So you have times when you’re afraid too." Su Jie couldn’t help but laugh aloud seeing the drastic change in Qin Yushang’s face. "Don’t worry, I have a wife. I’m not that thirsty. Although you have some beauty, you’re far from my wife." Seeing that Qin Yushang was merely flustered, Su Jie finally stopped teasing. Qin Yushang saw that Su Jie’s expression was not like he was lying, and with Su Jie’s power, he had no reason to lie. In her current state, she was completely at Su Jie’s mercy. Feeling a slight relief, the worst had not happened. At the same time, involuntarily, Qin Yushang found herself a bit curious about Su Jie’s so-called wife, and a little unwilling to concede. After all, her beauty was praised as one of the three great beauties of Da Li City. The others praised alongside her were the Eldest Princess of the Da Li Royal Family and the contemporary Sect Master from Jiutian Palace. The former had been renowned for her beauty since childhood and blossomed into an unparalleled beauty as an adult, known as the most dazzling jewel in the crown of the Da Li Dynasty. The latter had been famous for over a century, a Purple Mansion Realm Great Power with eternal beauty, once the dream of countless proud sons of the cultivation world. Even after a hundred years, she remained the dream lover of many. These three great beauties were said to possess appearances capable of toppling cities and countries. Qin Yushang wondered how beautiful Su Jie’s so-called wife could be, or was it just Su Jie’s boast? However, such random thoughts only flashed in Qin Yushang’s mind. Her real concern now was Su Jie’s intentions. If he wasn’t going to kill her or humiliate her, what exactly did he want? With this in mind, Qin Yushang looked at Su Jie suspiciously with her phoenix eyes.
