Chapter 127 - 120 Fairy Descends into Hell_l
“All signs indicate that the Body-Cultivating Furnace is a replica of the ancient Supreme Life Nurturing Furnace, without a doubt. You don’t need to argue with me about it,”
“If you want to exchange for the Body-Cultivating Furnace, fine. I won’t make it difficult for you. Just bring me a Heaven Rank Supreme Grade magical treasure in exchange,”
Embracing Jiang Baiye, Han Li spoke into her ear. His tone was indifferent yet extremely domineering.
Jiang Baiye shivered all over upon hearing this. This bastard was too shameless.
She could never exchange a Heaven Rank Supreme Grade magical treasure for the Body-Cultivating Furnace. Setting aside whether the Body-Cultivating Furnace was truly a replica of the Life-Prolonging Furnace, a Heaven Rank Supreme Grade magical treasure was not something she could possess.
Those were weapons used by warriors of the Divine Yuan Realm. She feared that not a single one could be found in the entire Daqian Empire, let alone by the Canghai Sect.
If the Canghai Sect had a Heaven Rank Supreme Grade magical treasure, they would have become the foremost sect in the Daqian Empire, ruling over half the empire’s territories.
Jiang Baiye remained silent, but Han Li continued, “Can’t bring it forth, huh? Then exchange with yourself. Those are your only two choices.”
Jiang Baiye’s heart quivered.
“I’ve heard that the Canghai Sect hasn’t been doing well lately, what with Ji Feng Hall and the other major factions in Qingzhou targeting you, and even the
Qian Dynasty putting pressure on you. Tsk tsk.”
“Don’t you take your sect very seriously? And yet you took the risk to seek me out. What now, can’t let it go? Are you unwilling to sacrifice yourself or does the Canghai Sect not weigh enough in your heart?”
Han Li’s words were sharp, like a series of keen heavenly blades piercing relentlessly into Jiang Baiye’s heart.
Jiang Baiye took a deep breath. She had anticipated this before she came, but she still came anyway, hoping to exchange other treasures, but it was a failure.
This bastard Han Li was clearly intent on having her exchange herself for the Body-Cultivating Furnace and what was even more shameless, he wanted not just her body but also her heart.
But now, Jiang Baiye found herself seemingly without the luxury of choice.
Her cultivation was sealed, and she was in Han Li’s hands. Whatever Han Li wanted to do, she couldn’t resist, like how this bastard was now brazenly holding her in his embrace.
If she agreed to Han Li, she could exchange for the Body-Cultivating Furnace.
If she didn’t agree, she wouldn’t get the Body-Cultivating Furnace back, and she herself would fall into Han Li’s hands.
What should I do?
Jiang Baiye murmured in her heart, struggling ceaselessly, torn apart by indecision.
The Canghai Sect indeed held great significance in her heart, but didn’t she matter to herself?
If she agreed, she would lose her freedom for life, body and soul bound to that bastard Han Li, and she probably couldn’t return to the Canghai Sect either.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Jiang Baiye, and she said with a stern voice, “Han Li, don’t go too far. You should remember that this is Qingzhou, and our Canghai Sect is the foremost major faction here.”
“If I disappear, my master will definitely notice. Once it’s traced back to you and reported to the Sect Leader, he will surely come looking for trouble.”
“Let alone whether you could match our Sect Leader in strength, if you two were to fight, your identity would be exposed. Don’t forget what you’ve done under other identities. Once that’s out, the Qian Dynasty, and even the forces behind the Mother of Non-Life, will come after you. Can you withstand that?”
Jiang Baiye said quite a lot, her words filled with threats. She breathed a sigh of relief internally, almost fooled by Han Li.
Her cultivation had been instantly sealed, followed by Han Li’s improper advances and a series of conditions that completely controlled the pace and threw her off, sending Jiang Baiye into chaos, almost resigning to her fate.
Once she recovered her wits and thought it over carefully, Jiang Baiye immediately spotted a loophole, a loophole that was crucial to Han Li, concerning his other identities.
Han Li liked to conceal his competence, hiding his true strength deeply, cunningly living on, unknown what disguises he may have employed, but if one were exposed, others might follow suit.
She was confident that Han Li did not want his identity exposed, or it would bring him immense trouble. Neither the Qian Dynasty nor the Mysterious Forces were entities Han Li could contend with.
Though Han Li was a Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, he was far from matching the Qian Dynasty and the Mysterious Forces.
Jiang Baiye didn’t know whether her master was aware of her seeking out Han Li, but it didn’t prevent her from saying so, bolstering her chips, deterring Han Li.
Han Li’s face showed a peculiar expression at her words, yet Jiang Baiye, held in his arms, could not see his expression at that moment.
Han Li did not respond, and Jiang Baiye thought she had intimidated him. She decided to persist, adding, “Now you have only one choice, let me go, and hand over the Body-Cultivating Furnace to me.”
“If I can safely return with the Body-Cultivating Furnace, I assure you that your identity will not be exposed, and you can continue enjoying your carefree and pleasurable life, otherwise…”
“Wait,” Han Li interrupted her.
“Han Li, this is the best choice for you. Don’t think about a fight to the death; it’s not good for either of us.”
“Without the Body-Cultivating Furnace, my Canghai Sect won’t collapse immediately, but without you, could the Han Family still exist?”
“Han Li, you don’t want your identity exposed, do you?”
Jiang Baiye kept sneering, an expression of certainty in her victory on her face. “Jiang Baiye, oh Jiang Baiye, you’re rejoicing too soon.”
Han Li waved his hand, and a body was forcefully pulled over from afar, placed strikingly before Jiang Baiye’s eyes.
Jiang Baiye was confused as to why Han Li would say such a thing, but when she saw the unconscious figure in front of her, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her face instantly paling a few shades.
“I might not recognize this person, but I’m sure you do,”
“Tsk tsk, a Guru in the Hollow Void Stage following you, evidently to protect
you.. Could this be your revered master?”
