Ye Mo walked forward with unsteady steps, hugging his own arm as his body trembled slightly from lingering fear.
"I was expecting that my weakest life might die inside this secret realm, but..." His voice shook. "I didn’t expect my strongest life to be killed so easily."
Just rembering the mont his strongest life was slain made Ye Mo gulp nervously.
’Is that really a Qi Refinent cultivator...?’
When he had told Yan Moxuan about it earlier, the latter had simply scoffed, clearly believing Ye Mo was hallucinating from terror.
Even Ye Mo himself found it hard to accept.
...If it weren’t for the fact that it was his own mory, he would have reacted the sa way as Yan Moxuan.
Hearing Ye Mo bring it up again, Yan Moxuan frowned deeply.
Of course, he knew exactly how terrifying Ye Mo’s special physique was.
A constitution that allowed one to possess three lives existing at the sa ti was undoubtedly heaven-defying.
Moreover, these lives could aid others in cultivation and the stronger one life beca, the more benefits it could provide and share.
With Ye Mo’s talent, he could focus all his resources on strengthening a single life, allowing it to advance with terrifying speed and ease.
This special physique would only grow more monstrous as he stepped into higher realms.
Once he reached the Nascent Soul stage, it would essentially an gaining two additional Nascent Souls for free.
That was precisely why the Fire Yang Sect’s Grand Elder had decided to nurture Ye Mo as the next Holy Son.
...And why so many others desperately wanted him dead while he was still weak.
Just then, Ye Mo’s casual voice pulled Yan Moxuan out of his thoughts.
Ye Mo walked over to the side and glanced at the heavily chained Tie Shan, scratching his cheek with a puzzled expression.
"Brother Yan, I think you got the wrong person..."
"Hmm?" Yan Moxuan raised an eyebrow, his sharp gaze shifting toward the massive, subdued man.
"Didn’t you say the one who killed you was a powerful body-tempering cultivator? As weak as he looks now, for soone at your level, this Earth Dragon Sect genius would have been more than troubleso."
He still rembered the ridiculous raw strength Tie Shan had displayed earlier.
It had taken him considerable effort to subdue this genuis.
’Genius... huh. It seems like geniuses are popping up everywhere these days,’ Yan Moxuan thought, while frowning slightly.
Lately, talented cultivators had been erging one after another like weeds after rain.
If given enough ti, the world would soon be flooded with even more monsters.
....And speaking of geniuses, an unpleasant mory surfaced... the days he had spent as a disciple in the Azure Moon Sect.
His lips curled into a cold sneer.
’So what? I, Yan Moxuan, will crush those who think talent is everything. And once I obtain that thing... even those arrogant emissaries above won’t be a problem.’
Gritting his teeth, he added silently, ’...and I will prove you wrong, Master.’
Ye Mo didn’t notice the coldness in Yan Moxuan’s expression, or perhaps he simply didn’t care.
He leaned slightly forward to get a better look at the chained Tie Shan.
"Well, it’s true that this fellow is a powerful body-tempering cultivator, but the one I encountered was even more monstrous than him."
Yan Moxuan frowned at those words.
He glanced at Tie Shan, then uncrossed his arms and slowly raised one hand.
"Since we got the wrong person, then..." A cold, ruthless light flashed in his eyes. "...let’s just kill him."
But suddenly, Ye Mo stepped in front of Yan Moxuan.
"Wait! Wait! We can still use him!"
Seeing Yan Moxuan pause his attack, Ye Mo continued with a bright smile.
"This guy might be a junior brother of the one I encountered. We can use him as bait to draw that monster out."
"Bait?" Yan Moxuan sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "There’s no need for that. If that guy is truly as strong as you say, he won’t hide like a coward."
Ye Mo shook his head inwardly at the arrogance, but he continued trying to persuade him.
"Brother Yan, please trust on this one!"
Although he said that, using Tie Shan as bait... was nothing more than a lie.
In truth, Ye Mo planned to use the burly man as a hostage if things went south.
...Only he knew just how terrifying that person called Li Feng truly was.
He also understood Yan Moxuan’s pride all too well.
If he dared suggest using a hostage outright, Yan Moxuan might kill Tie Shan on the spot and possibly cut off Ye Mo’s own arm for daring to look down on him.
Seeing Ye Mo pleading, Yan Moxuan fell silent for a mont before letting out a cold scoff.
"Do whatever you wish."
Ye Mo smiled in relief, but that smile instantly froze at Yan Moxuan’s next words.
"...And do you have any news on the female disciple I want?"
Yan Moxuan asked calmly, his gaze unreadable as he stared straight at Ye Mo.
Ye Mo smiled awkwardly.
To be honest, he had treated this trip into the secret realm as nothing more than a fun excursion. He had only thought about enjoying himself and reaping so benefits.
But now... he had already lost two of his lives and spent the rest of the day hiding and moving with extre caution using his last remaining life.
Where would he even find the ti to look for the woman Yan Moxuan wanted?
"I... I’ve been searching," Ye Mo said quickly. "But this secret realm is vast, and it seems she must be hiding very well."
Yan Moxuan said nothing.
He simply stared.
That cold, piercing gaze alone was enough to make cold sweat break out across Ye Mo’s back.
Suddenly, a faint vein bulged on Yan Moxuan’s temple.
He could tell from Ye Mo’s expression that he had been slacking off.
Now he truly regretted bringing along these lustful demons.
Yan Moxuan had encountered other disciples from the Fire Yang Sect and Devil Yin Sect as well, but all of them were simply lazing around and having fun with their spoils.
None of them cared about his goals.
...In his rage, he had ended up slaughtering all of them.
