“If you move a single inch, I will end you.”
Ling Xian appeared behind Yu Wu Xiu like a ghost. His slender hand was locked around her neck.
Immediately, Yu Wu Xiu acted like she was struck by lightning and her entire body froze.
Her eyes revealed her disbelief. She really didn’t think Ling Xian would be this capable!
Though being at the peak of the completion level was thanks to her medicinal Dans, she was at that stage nonetheless. With the support of the Pearl of Opportunity, anyone should’ve found her strike hard to defend against.
Yet Ling Xian defeated it with one punch. How powerful was this?
Why wouldn’t she be petrified?
What replaced her awe was fear and bitterness.
Now, she had finally realized how dumb she has been and she was now finally hopeless.
“I admit my defeat.”
Smiling wryly, Yu Wu Xiu had sensed Ling Xian’s intention of killing her from his emotionless words.
She didn’t doubt that if she moved, death would be her only answer.
“You are a smart person, you should know what to do next.”
Ling Xian spoke softly but he didn’t let go right away. His cold killer’s intent made Yu Wu Xiu feel like she was in hell.
“I understand. Since you haven’t killed me yet, it means you don’t really want to. It’s just that you don’t really want to let me go that easily.” Yu Wu Xiu forced herself to come down and think about the situation logically.
There really was nothing much to analyze. The situation was pretty clear.
She was no opponent of Ling Xian’s and there wasn’t even a chance for her to escape. The Cliff of Enlightenment was divided from the external world so she couldn’t even yell for help. In other words, she was a fish on a chopping board.
And Ling Xian was the butcher knife that could slit her open any time.
After realizing this, Yu Wu Xiu’s heart filled with bitterness and regret. However, what she regretted wasn’t that she came after Ling Xian, but that she didn’t learn the full situation before coming here.
None of this mattered anymore anyway. The result was set. Ling Xian was getting what he wanted.
“You are right. I don’t want to kill you and I will not let you go that easily.”
Ling Xian softly sighed. Though he had completely let go of Yu Wu Xiu, he was a person with flesh, not an emotionless monster.
Therefore, he wasn’t going to kill Yu Wu Xiu. It was just that he had to make sure she doesn’t reveal his real identity and cultivation level.
“What do you want? Just tell me. I have no more abilities to resist anymore.” Yu Wu Xiu smiled. Her eyes darkened.
To know that her ancestor was one of the founders of the Shang Qing Sect and she was known as the highness. Even the Supreme Headmaster and the elders would have to treat her with the utmost respect.
In other words, other than her natural talent, she was utterly perfect in every other way!
Yet her fate was now in the hands of Ling Xian. Why wouldn’t she feel bitter?
“Smart one.”
Ling Xian beamed and stepped closer to Yu Wu Xiu. His warm breath and masculine scent made the fragile woman tremble. She felt her body tinkling.
This strange feeling made her flush as she twisted her body.
As much as she was feeling unsettled, she was also extremely furious. Her status was high and she was pure like jade. No man has ever dared to be so close to her, let alone so close to her face. Why wouldn’t she be furious?
Infuriated, she shouted, “Xian Ling, if you keep at it, I would prefer it if you kill me!”
“You sure are sensitive.”
Ling Xian chuckled and whispered into her ear, “You should understand that since I used a clone to enter the Sect, I do not want anyone to know my real identity. Now that you know my real cultivation level, I shouldn’t need to tell you more, right?”
“I understand. If you let me go, I promise you I won’t leak anything about you.” Yu Wu Xiu endured the uncomfortable and exhilarating sensation she was feeling.
“If I let you go?”
Ling Xian frowned, “You are phrasing things wrongly. You are talking as if you are doing me a favor. Rephrase it.”
“You!”
Yu Wu Xiu’s body was trembling at this point but she couldn’t do anything about it.
She was now trapped by Ling Xian. If she doesn’t want to die, then she has to drop her attitude. Therefore, she suppressed her anger and said in a low voice, “Xian Ling, I promise you that I won’t say anything about you. Please let me go.”
“You got it right this time.”
Ling Xian smiled, he felt unreal.
Remember that Yu Wu Xiu was many men’s dream goddess. Yet now, this highness was forgetting all about her status and begging him. This was unbelievable.
If anyone else finds out about this, their eyes would pop out of their heads.
“Alright, you can let me go now right? Yu Wu Xiu suppressed the anger in her chest, terrified of offending Ling Xian.
“You can’t yet.”
These three words reignited Yu Wu Xiu’s anger.
However, once she remembered the terror of the man behind her, as if cold water poured down her, she calmed down.
“So what do you want from me?!” Yu Wu Xiu gritted her teeth so hard her teeth were about to break.
“Very simple. I am going to place a prohibition spell in you. If you utter out anything about me, I will end your life just like that.”
The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. Though he was smiling, the feeling he gave Yu Wu Xiu was cold to the bones.
What a demon!
Yu Wu Xiu shuddered. Thinking about being prohibited by Ling Xian made her body twist and turn.
But, she had no choice.
If one was to not die a painful and bloody death. One was to be trapped by this person forever. Though she’d lose her freedom, she’d be alive.
She’d have a sliver of hope.
Therefore, Yu Wu Xiu bit her tongue and made up her mind.
“Alright.”
Hearing this, Ling Xian’s lips curled up, “Smart choice.”
“I had no choice.” Yu Wu Xiu helplessly signed.
“Don’t worry. I am merely putting a spell on you. I am not enslaving you.” Ling Xian chuckled. He just didn’t want his cover to be blown. He had no intention of enslaving Yu Wu Xiu.
But thinking about the countless men’s goddess turning into his slave, he felt a strange sensation.
“The world is a weird place.”
Ling Xian softly sighed. He formed a hand seal and used a prohibition array he saw from the Immortal of Array’s inheritance.
In the next second, a ray of purple light entered Yu Wu Xiu’s heart and formed a powerful seal. This meant, if Yu Wu Xiu wanted to remain alive, she could not utter a word about Ling Xian’s real identity.
“Now you feel settled. I cannot believe that I, a highness, would turn into your slave.” Yu Wu Xiu smiled helplessly. Her beautiful eyes were flickering with a bright light. Nobody was sure what she was thinking of.
“You cannot blame others for this. Blame yourself for having bad intentions.”
Ling Xian spoke softly. Then, he turned around to study this place some more.
However, just as he walked away, he received a message.
