Chapter 163: The Ultimate Goal of the Heaven Mist Sect

Over the next few days, Tu Nan became addicted to it, taking Jiang Xun deep into the dungeon every single day.

It made that group of prisoners miserable, as not a single one came out of the interrogation room alive.

Most of them were spies sent by other sects, or people from the Baiyun Sect who had been brought back and were disobedient.

Tu Nan had no intention of asking them for anything at all.

Torture was also a means to make them feel fear, and fear was one of the ways Tu Nan cultivated.

After half a month, the topics between Jiang Xun and Tu Nan had increased significantly, no longer confined to punishments.

It seemed that because no one had ever talked to her, she poured out her grievances to Jiang Xun, chattering incessantly.

"Back when we escaped from the Northern Wasteland, if it weren't for Big Brother, Ah Mo and I would have died long ago."

Tu Nan sat in Jiang Xun's cell, clinking glasses with him while she spoke.

She basically told Jiang Xun about their escape from the Northern Wasteland.

At the time, both Tu Nan and Tu Mo had been captured by the Demon Race, and the two of them had been tortured miserably.

But they just wouldn't kill them.

Every day, it was either whipping or using Soul Nails to pierce their souls.

One of the Demonic Beasts even hacked off half of Tu Nan's thigh from the side and swallowed it raw right in front of her.

This was also the origin of the spiderweb tattoo on her thigh.

After her thigh was restored later, a very ugly scar remained, and to cover that scar, Tu Nan got the spiderweb tattoo to hide it.

This was also the reason for Tu Nan's psychological distortion.

And those Demonic Beasts were arrogant and disdained mating with humans, otherwise, Tu Nan feared she would have been ruined beyond recognition long ago.

"Your cultivation levels were still very low back then, right?"

Jiang Xun nodded, pretending to look at Tu Nan with a pained expression.

Under the dim light, Tu Nan looked into Jiang Xun's eyes, and combined with the alcohol that hadn't been evaporated by Spirit Power, her eyes turned red at the memory of those events.

She nodded.

"Ah Mo and I were only at Foundation Establishment. If I had been at Golden Core back then, there wouldn't have been a wound left on my leg."

"Then how did Sect Master Tu save you?"

"Big Brother was pursued by Demonic Beasts and fled all the way, accidentally entering a Secret Realm in the Northern Wasteland. He obtained a Demon Art inside. It just so happened that the Northern Wasteland was in chaos at the time, with dead bodies everywhere, so Big Brother devoured the aura of those dead bodies to rapidly increase his cultivation level, even his hair turned white."

"At that time, Big Brother raised his cultivation to the Spirit Transformation Stage and, with the help of a mysterious senior, rescued us."

"A mysterious senior?" Jiang Xun frowned upon hearing this.

"I don't know about that. Big Brother didn't say, and we don't know who it was." Tu Nan shook her head: "One day, we will kill our way back to the Northern Wasteland and make those Demonic Beasts pay the price!"

As Tu Nan spoke, the hand holding the wine glass tightened subconsciously, crushing the glass into powder.

"Hey, what are you doing? Is your hand alright?"

Seeing this, Jiang Xun put down his wine glass and grabbed Tu Nan's hand to examine it carefully.

Seeing Jiang Xun's reaction, Tu Nan was stunned, forgetting to pull her hand back for a moment.

"It's fine, no problem." Jiang Xun rubbed Tu Nan's hand: "Be careful, don't cut your hand."

"... I am in the Integration Realm, do you think a wine glass can hurt me?" Tu Nan couldn't help but laugh at this.

"Heh... after hearing your story, I thought of you as a little girl." Jiang Xun laughed as he said this and let go of Tu Nan's hand.

"She's moved, she's moved!"

Si Yuyan said excitedly in Jiang Xun's consciousness; she had seen that tender look Tu Nan gave Jiang Xun just now!

It was the exact same look Yin Ningyu gave Jiang Xun!

"Shh, don't rush, don't ruin my rhythm!"

Jiang Xun said hurriedly.

"There's still someone who would think of me as a little girl?" Tu Nan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

Over the years, her older brother had treated her as a killing machine, and her younger brother was busy with slaughter all day long; the bond between siblings had long since changed, and Tu Nan could only find the feeling of family from Tu Wan.

She hadn't expected Jiang Xun to say such things.

"So what if you're in the Integration Realm? Even in the Integration Realm, you're still a woman." Jiang Xun took out another wine glass, placed it in front of Tu Nan, poured her a drink, and said: "Actually, setting aside your experiences, I still envy you. You have a brother, a younger brother, and a niece; at the very least, you have family. My family has long since been wiped out."

"What about your family?" Tu Nan couldn't help but ask.

"I never saw my parents when I was born; I was raised by wild wolves."

Jiang Xun started spouting nonsense.

"Wild wolves?"

Tu Nan's pupils dilated slightly upon hearing this.

"Yeah, those wild wolves seemed to think I was their own. They fed me animal blood from a young age and made me eat raw meat, raising me until I was seven or eight. Later, the wolves were killed by hunters. I didn't even know how to speak human language at the time, but I met Sect Master Ruo Lan of the Lingerie-Sect. She saw I had a Natural Charm Bone and brought me up the mountain, taught me to read and speak, and raised me to adulthood."

"So in that case, Ruo Lan is like your mother?" Tu Nan laughed upon hearing this.

"Uh, you could say that." Jiang Xun nodded.

The truth was that Jiang Xun grew up in a well-off family in Tianji City. Later, Yu Yan brought people from the Lingerie-Sect down to recruit disciples. Jiang Xun was attracted by the beauty of Yu Yan and Ming Ning, and the eight-year-old Jiang Xun shamelessly insisted on following them up the mountain.

Under Jun Tianling's reminder, Ming Ning brought Jiang Xun up the mountain.

After being brought up the mountain, Ruo Lan saw he had a Natural Charm Bone, so she kept him.

As for his parents and relatives, they had long since passed away of old age.

Thanks to Jiang Xun being a cultivator, they even had a grand funeral.

"No wonder you care so much about the Lingerie-Sect." Tu Nan nodded, drank the wine in her glass, and Jiang Xun immediately refilled it for her, clinking glasses and drinking with her.

"You know, it's really not easy for a person to live in this world. If it weren't to repay Ruo Lan, I wouldn't want to live these thousand years either." Jiang Xun sighed after downing a glass of wine.

"If it weren't to take revenge on the Demon Race, I would have died long ago after being saved by Big Brother. It is this kind of hatred that has supported me until today." Tu Nan also nodded in empathy, placing her hand on the tattoo on her thigh, and said through gritted teeth.

"Then, is your Tianwu Sect constantly expanding its influence just to fight back into the Northern Wasteland?"

Jiang Xun looked at Tu Nan and asked.

"That's right." Tu Nan nodded heavily: "To fight back into the Northern Wasteland, we need at least five Saints, or perhaps even one Supreme; these two things are truly difficult to manage, otherwise we would have already slaughtered our way back."

No wonder Jun Tianling and Si Yuyan and the others have not made a move either; so that was it...

"Why not consider joining forces with the Ten Great Sects to resist the Northern Wasteland? If it is to deal with Demonic Beasts, I don't think they would refuse, right?"

"Hmph." Tu Nan let out a cold snort: "Do you think they are really such good people? Not long after the Tianwu Sect was established, Big Brother immediately found a way to contact the people on Tianwai Island. Not only did they not provide help or agree to join forces, they even defined our Tianwu Sect as a Demonic Sect!"

"Since they already think so, then we will just be this Demonic Sect for them to see!"
