Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

He shuddered and hid behind Wang Dongyang in fear, peeking out a lewd head with a cowardly yet sly smile on his face.

"Well... Brother Liu, you can't blame me for this. A wise person knows when to yield. I've done so many things for you, and now I'm turning around and stabbing you in the back. Let's settle our score then."

"I think you're tired of living!"

Liu Kaige roared angrily, attempting to circulate his spiritual energy to send Xing Xiaobai out of the arena of the Ten Thousand Sects Competition.

But Wang Dongyang stepped in front of Xing Xiaobai first, his right hand slightly flicking his fingers, and the silver-white longsword behind him floated in front of him with the surge of spiritual energy, then suddenly transformed into a stream of light, stabbing towards Liu Kaige's most vulnerable neck.

Normally, Liu Kaige wouldn't have taken Wang Dongyang's sword control technique, which was as playful as a child's game, seriously. But at this moment, the young master of the Liu family was already exhausted. Not only was the circulation of his spiritual root slow, but his spiritual energy was also almost completely depleted.

He couldn't even make any move to resist, and could only let the sharp sword pierce his neck.

The sword suddenly stopped.

The sharp sword light pierced Liu Kaige's flesh slightly, and blood slowly flowed down from it.

Wang Dongyang was, after all, a peak Spirit Platform stage cultivator. Knowing that taking another step forward would cost Liu Kaige his life, he smiled roguishly and said, "Young Master Liu, please calm down. With your current abilities, you probably can't take that kid's life."

"And where did you come from, you crooked rascal?" Liu Kaige glared fiercely at Wang Dongyang. Being pointed at by a sword made him feel extremely humiliated and annoyed. "I advise you to put down your sword right away, or you will know how powerful I, Liu Kaige, am."

Wang Dongyang narrowed his eyes: "What if I say no?"

"you……"

Seeing that his threats had no effect, Liu Kaige immediately tried to invoke his family's powerful connections.

puff!puff!puff!

Unexpectedly, Wang Dongyang took the lead, moving with the agility of a swallow, leaving a few extremely faint footprints on the snow, and came to Liu Kaige's side, kicking him in the chest with a contemptuous smile.

"Cough-cough-"

Liu Kaige was sent flying several meters backward. Before he could recover, a foot ruthlessly stepped on his head.

This is the first time.

This was the first time Liu Kaige had ever been stepped on since birth.

This feeling infuriated him, as if a flame rising from the depths of his soul had consumed his reason. He almost went mad, wanting to turn over and tear Wang Dongyang's damned body apart.

He can't.

Wang Dongyang increased the pressure under his feet, coldly staring at Liu Kaige, who was barking like a stray dog. "I say, young master Liu, haven't you figured out the situation yet? Right now, you're no different from a fish on a chopping board. If I wanted to kill you, it would be an easy thing for me."

The sword's edge is opposite the top of Liu Kaige's head.

Wang Dongyang stroked his chin with amusement and said, "Theoretically speaking, you can be teleported away by silently saying 'I surrender' three times in your heart. But I have a special skill: I'm quite good at reading people. As soon as I find out that you have the idea of ​​leaving, I will use this sword to pierce your head."

"I believe Young Master Liu wouldn't want to lose his life here, would he?"

Death was drawing ever closer.

As if by physiological reaction, Liu Kaige quickly came back to his senses from his boundless rage. He lay there in great humiliation, looking up, trying to see Wang Dongyang's face that annoyed him.

He gritted his teeth, maintaining his arrogant and disdainful tone: "Do you know I'm from the Liu family? You dare touch me here?!"

"I don't care if you're from the Liu family or any other family, this is a battleground for all factions. Besides, do you remember what the eldest son of the empire said? Any means are permitted, including threats to life, right?"

"Of course, I'm not a bad person. If I really killed you, your Liu family probably wouldn't let me off easily either. So... you only need to pay a small price, and I can let you go."

"Not only that—you can also take that girl over there with you." Wang Dongyang pointed to the weak Ye Yuchan in the distance, a lewd smile on his face. "Of course, we'll still take some things from her, like her treasures or something."

Liu Kaige's expression hardened, and he suddenly fell silent.

Admittedly, he didn't want to be led by the nose by Wang Dongyang, but just as Wang Dongyang said... he did have the means to kill him, and besides, he didn't want to leave the stage of the Ten Thousand Schools Competition so easily.

And then there's Ye Yuchan... this special woman.

After a long silence, he took a deep breath, "What do you want..."

Wang Dongyang smiled slightly; he knew that the big fish had taken the bait.

After carefully considering Liu Kaige's family background, he said calmly, "Twenty alms-begging pills, three bottles of body-condensing liquid, at least two king-grade magic weapons, at least five high-grade magic weapons, and then ten million gold coins—"

"That adds up to about forty million gold coins. What do you think, Young Master Liu?"

Forty million is no small sum.

Liu Kaige's face flushed with anger, "This is blatant robbery!"

“As you can see—” Wang Dongyang shrugged, “Yes.”

Faced with such a shameless and treacherous person, Liu Kaige finally had no choice but to suppress his anger and agree to Wang Dongyang's request.

After receiving the treasure he had extorted from Liu Kaige, Wang Dongyang happily stored it in his storage ring, and then leisurely walked over to Ye Yuchan.

Ye Yuchan was panting heavily. She glared coldly at Wang Dongyang. This guy walked in a way that resembled an old rogue, but the evil and wicked aura about him made her extremely uncomfortable.

This guy is a complete bandit.

Wang Dongyang approached Ye Yuchan and greeted her: "Oh, this is Miss Ye from that... trashy Yuntian Academy. I'll get straight to the point."

He turned slightly to the side, subtly pointing to Liu Kaige not far away, a fake, benevolent smile appearing on his face: "That young master Liu over there offered me thirty million to bring you over too. You can see that I'm the kind of person who always takes pity on women—"

After speaking, the sharp sword was pressed against the center of Ye Yuchan's snow-white forehead, as if it would pierce through her head at any moment.

He looked at Ye Yuchan, who had the thought of escaping for a moment, and said, "Miss Ye, I'm only doing this to prevent you from escaping. I'm also confident that I can send you to meet the King of Hell while you silently admit defeat. So I advise you not to think about running away."

"Wouldn't it be a bit much to gamble with your life?"

tsk...

Ye Yuchan pouted. She could tell that the other party had noticed the moment she wanted to admit defeat.

Does this guy... have telepathic abilities?

What do you want?

Ye Yuchan spoke decisively.

Wang Dongyang was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Miss Ye is indeed clever! Alright! Then I'll get straight to the point—"

"I will let you leave as long as you offer a higher price than that young master Liu."

"He offered 30 million, and I hope Miss Ye can at least offer a more satisfactory amount."

In other words, we should give him at least 30 million gold coins.

Ye Yuchan glanced at the thirty gold coins she had left in her storage ring and fell into deep thought.

Thirty million? Let alone Wang Dongyang want it, if someone offered a reward of thirty million gold coins for Ye Yuchan, Ye Yuchan would tie herself up and throw herself into the yamen.

Ye Yuchan sighed, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a blue figure that looked just like the moonlight. She then smiled.

She shrugged and nonchalantly pulled out thirty gold coins from her storage ring, placing them in front of the bewildered Wang Dongyang.

"This is all the gold coins I have. How about... we just leave it at that?"

Are you kidding me?

Wang Dongyang instinctively thought that Ye Yuchan was toying with him, so he immediately held a sharp sword and pointed it at Ye Yuchan's forehead. The sharp blade pierced through the flesh, and blood dripped down the girl's chin in an arc.

He curled his lips into a cruel smile, his eyes filled with a ferocious light. "Do you know where you are right now, Miss Ye?"

"I don't know what my situation is, but I know what your situation is."

Ye Yuchan grinned nonchalantly and pointed behind Wang Dongyang.

"I advise you to look behind you."

"Oh."

Wang Dongyang sneered, feeling quite disdainful of Ye Yuchan's child-teasing trick.

"You think you can fool people with such a simple trick..."

Before he could finish speaking...

He then felt an indescribable, terrifying aura rushing towards him.

At the same time, the Donghua Sect disciples who were guarding in the distance hurriedly reminded their senior brother.

"Senior Brother! Look behind you!!"

Wang Dongyang turned around in astonishment.

What did he see?

desert.

A desolate desert.

This is a secret realm, a secret realm that keeps rotating around the full moon and stars.

Within this secret realm lies a snowfield and a wasteland.

Between the two lies a terrifying chasm about 300 meters wide; if they were to fall through it, given their cultivation levels, they would undoubtedly die.

However, even Ye Yuchan and Liu Kaige, who were at the peak of the Lingtai stage, did not say they could jump over 300 meters.

But what Wang Dongyang saw now was a figure of deep blue flames, seemingly blending completely with the bright moonlight—

Leap from the edge of the desert!

The deep, dark chasm, leaped across in one bound!

"Put your sword—"

A girl with black hair and blue eyes, dressed in a sailor uniform and pleated skirt, streaked across the night sky in a stunning arc.

She swung her iron fist, which was filled with dark blue flames, and swung it toward the astonished Wang Dongyang's cheek.

"Get the hell away from me!"

boom!

The fist that pierced the abyss sent Wang Dongyang flying.

Zhang Ruoxue stood guard in front of Ye Yuchan, like a war god under the moonlight.
