Chapter 74: Wind-Whispering Curse?

"Master is awesome!"

"Master is the best!"

Wang Dazhu was already cheering for Yan Xiao, using all his might to butter him up.

"The Sect Master is truly formidable."

The Elders and disciples of Luoxia Mountain were filled with admiration, especially Luo Cang, who secretly rejoiced that he had not targeted Yan Xiao; letting him be Sect Master was truly the most correct decision.

Yan Xiao made a gesture for silence.

Looking down from above, he gazed at Taxue and said in an unquestionable tone: You lost.

That is the fact.

If that blow just now had struck her heart or head, she would have already become a corpse.

Taxue struggled to stand up, her hands trembling as she gripped the hilt of her sword, wanting to take the opportunity to ambush Yan Xiao once more.

She was an assassin; since Yan Xiao gave her such a good opportunity, how could she let it pass?

Just when Yan Xiao thought she couldn't hold the sword steady, if she used all her strength to strike him with one blow, he would probably be very surprised, right?

Unfortunately, all of this could not escape the detection of the Sunglasses; Yan Xiao had long since discovered her intentions.

Yan Xiao kicked the sword away and said with a chuckle, "Submit to me, and I can make you stronger."

"Cough, cough... Can you successfully undergo Tribulation Transcendence to become a God-Hidden Realm Half-Immortal... or ascend to the Immortal Realm to become an Immortal Emperor Supreme... cough, cough... If you can do that, I will submit to you and never betray you."

Taxue mocked.

"Half-Immortal is a bit lacking."

"Actually... Immortal Emperor really isn't difficult for me."

Yan Xiao said confidently.

He didn't care about any Half-Immortal or Immortal Emperor right now; the only thing he needed to do first was one thing: scare her, fool her, and win her over.

"My Master is the reincarnation of an Ancient Demon God; I don't even care for a mere Immortal Emperor. You only survived because your name shares the light of my little Mistress, otherwise you would already be dead. Don't be ungrateful."

Seeing Taxue looking sickly and on the verge of death, Wang Dazhu immediately jumped out and said righteously.

Believe it or not, Taxue was actually intrigued by his words and asked, "What is your little Mistress's name?"

"My Mistress is named Qingxue, and you are named Taxue, which is why Master spared your life. However, your name isn't very good; from now on, just be called Tingxue, which means obedient... snow..."

Wang Dazhu was speaking with great relish, but seeing Yan Xiao's murderous gaze cast his way, he immediately fell silent.

Yan Xiao was a bit dumbfounded; what kind of situation was this?

"You and your endless theories; I'm not running a harem to select concubines, though the name isn't bad... obedient... pfft."

Yan Xiao's train of thought was almost led astray by the two of them.

"I have already been very sincere. I'll give you three seconds to consider. After three seconds, even if you beg to join my Luoxia Mountain, I won't want you," Yan Xiao said impatiently.

"3, 2..."

Yan Xiao began to count, but that 1 was never called out.

"I only know how to kill."

Taxue said, her tone softening somewhat.

"That's fine, there are so many Phantom Demons for you to kill, you couldn't finish them all... kill as you please... no problem."

Yan Xiao hurriedly replied.

"I will not be your plaything, I will not be your concubine, and I will not be your woman."

Taxue said slowly, meaning don't even think about taking advantage of me.

"Absolutely no problem... I am a man with a wife, you can completely trust my character."

Yan Xiao guaranteed.

"Fine, if you can do it, I agree to submit to you. If you try to go back on your word, I will kill you."

Taxue said coldly.

"1."

"Welcome to Luoxia Mountain. Luo Ying, take your little Junior Sister down to rest."

Yan Xiao said happily.

Spending over ten thousand Fear Value to subdue Taxue was not bad at all.

Oh, it's still better to call her Tingxue.

"Ding, congratulations to the Owner for completing a hidden task. Reward: 30,000 Fear Value. In view of the Owner's excellent performance and shameless spirit, the system gives an additional 10,000 Fear Value as a reward. Please keep it up, Owner."

The system changed its voice to that of a little loli, extremely sweet and cute!

Forty thousand Fear Value, a hidden task, he's struck it rich!

As for what the little loli said about his performance or being shameless, he didn't hear a word of it...

"Cough, cough... Young Master Yan, whether Taxue has truly submitted remains to be seen... do not... be careless."

Feng Jingting said in a low voice; it was the first time Yan Xiao had heard her speak words of concern to him, which was very rare.

"Rest assured. But how should we deal with Zhuifeng?"

Yan Xiao asked.

"In my opinion, we should just kill him," Luosang said.

He was already very uneasy about subduing one Taxue; if they subdued both, trouble would inevitably arise.

"I agree," Feng Wanqing said.

"Alright, you all decide."

Yan Xiao nodded, feeling a bit regretful; if Zhuifeng could also be subdued, that would be perfect.

The three of them returned to Taishan. The tall woman undid the seal and discovered that Zhuifeng had already severed his own meridians, and Tai Quandao, having been caught in the crossfire of Zhuifeng, had frozen to death within the ice seal.

Now he does not need to struggle with how to deal with Zhuifeng.

"Did he commit suicide?"

Yan Xiao asked in confusion.

"No, look at his dantian."

The tall woman pointed at Zhuifeng's dantian and said; on his abdomen, right by the dantian, there was a black hole, which was likely what killed him.

"System, analyze this, what is going on?"

Seeing such a strange occurrence, Yan Xiao wanted to get to the bottom of it; he was worried that Taxue might also die suddenly for no reason.

"This is an Explosive Fetal Pill, a very vicious type of Spirit Pill. The pill can contain the Divine Sense of the person who refined it; with a single thought, they can detonate the pill and take a person's life."

The system explained.

"What an overbearing method, too heartless and cruel. Is there a way to replicate this kind of pill?"

Yan Xiao asked.

"It can be replicated, but this pill is extremely taxing on one's mental energy. Its main refining ingredient is the brain marrow of a Corpse Demon. Are you sure you want to learn it?" the system asked.

"Ah... haha, Corpse Demon's... forget it, forget it, it's too disgusting."

Yan Xiao hurriedly waved his hand; if it were some strange herbs or gu insects, he could accept it, but Corpse Demon brain marrow—he would rather pass.

He had not yet reached such a deranged level.

A Storage Bag is a good thing; Feng Wanqing is a noble-minded woman and naturally would not take things from the dead, so Yan Xiao unceremoniously took the Storage Bags of Zhuifeng and Tai Quandao.

Luosang secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it was fortunate that the Sect Master was thick-skinned, otherwise, if he had been ordered to take the Storage Bags from those two, what would he have done?

The disciples of Taishan were still watching; if it were him, he would not have been able to bring himself to do it.

Looking at Yan Xiao again, he acted as if nothing had happened, tossing the Storage Bags into the System Space right in front of the Taishan disciples; his cultivation was truly profound.

Even the tall woman on the side felt uncomfortable, ashamed to be associated with him.

"Ahem, Yanyu Tower will not let you off. If you still wish to cultivate and want to receive protection, you can join my Luoxia Mountain.

You have all seen my strength compared to yours; killing a Spirit Void Realm expert like Zhuifeng takes no effort at all, I am extremely powerful.

Joining my Luoxia Mountain will definitely be better than your treatment at Taishan. Without further ado, those who want to join my Luoxia Mountain go report to Zhang Ze now; spots are limited, first come, first served."

Yan Xiao advertised quite naturally, leaving the surviving Taishan disciples looking bewildered.

Did he even make a move when Zhuifeng was frozen?

It seemed not; he had just been yapping and yapping non-stop.

Luosang, on the other hand, gave Yan Xiao a thumbs up; he truly admired this Sect Master to the point of prostration.

Even when he was blacked out from drinking, he was not as thick-skinned as Yan Xiao.

"I am willing to join, please accept me, Sect Master Yan."

A dark, thin youth slowly stepped out and cupped his hands toward Yan Xiao; there was neither joy nor sorrow on his face, but his eyes were exceptionally cold and gloomy.
