Chapter 130: Chapter 111 Negotiation_2

    For a moment, she transformed from a graceful mother into a fearsome Golden Core Demon Cultivator.

    “Mr. Ren, how come it’s you who has arrived?” Elder Baili flew closer and his head ached when he saw the woman in the black dress.

    “Old Monster Baili, you’ve pushed me too far. If I hadn’t come, would you have kidnapped Lan’er?” the woman in the black dress sneered coldly.

    She spoke with no politeness, seemingly not taking the Golden Core Stage Elder Baili seriously.

    “Mr. Ren, my son has gone missing and it has something to do with your daughter. I just came to ask what happened,” Elder Baili replied, his voice heavy with annoyance.

    He was aware of Yin Shilan’s background and merely wanted a straightforward inquiry with no other motives.

    “My daughter said she did not know the Baili boy was coming, and she has never met him!” the woman in the black dress replied indifferently, unfazed by Elder Baili’s irritation.

    “Could I meet her to ask her in person?” Elder Baili was out of options. The longer the delay, the lesser the chances of Baili Jin Yan’s survival seemed, and even in his imposing tone, there seemed to carry a hint of pleading.

    Meeting Yin Shilan would allow him to immediately discern whether she was lying.

    But how could the woman in the black dress let her daughter face Elder Baili directly? If Elder Baili were to implant some malicious Divine Thought, it could affect Yin Shilan’s future cultivation.

    A Golden Core cultivator’s methods were extremely numerous, and even another Golden Core cultivator couldn’t guarantee complete prevention.

    “Old Monster Baili, it seems you think I’m easy to talk to. If Holy Ice Sect really wants a battle, the Heavenly Sea Sect and Xuanming Sect have accepted the challenge. Go back and prepare, and see if I have the ability to poison all of Holy Ice Sect to death!” The woman in the black dress sneered and turned to leave.

    Her temperament was so fierce it turned Elder Baili’s face dark.

    Was this a way to negotiate?

    Moreover, it was just a meeting, a question; did it have to escalate to this extent?

    Of course, if there had been any cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage there, they would be astonished at the implications in the woman’s words.

    Given Yin Shilan’s identity, it was natural for Heavenly Sea Sect to intervene, but why would Xuanming Sect be involved, and even considering joining forces with Heavenly Sea Sect.

    The woman in the black dress exuded a towering demonic aura, her other identity being a Golden Core Elder of Xuanming Sect.

    “Evil Elder Ren, I’m also worried about Jin Yan. Since you said your daughter hasn’t seen Jin Yan, I believe you!” Elder Baili gritted his teeth and admitted softer words.

    The power of Holy Ice Sect was likely comparable to either Heavenly Sea Sect or Xuanming Sect.

    The possibility of all three parties erupting in a large-scale battle was very low. Nobody wanted to initiate a Golden Core Level conflict.

    But this did not include the woman he called Evil Elder Ren. The deeds she had done in the past were well known in the Cultivation World.

    There were no cultivators there who could pose a threat to Ren Fei’er; Ren Fei’er was just too restless by nature, so she let her go.

    Moreover, the sect had sent a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to Nanshan Country. The woman in the black dress sent a message to this cultivator to keep an eye on Ren Fei’er.

    In a cave within the territory of Nanshan Country, Li Shiming faced Han Yu, who was still relatively intact, his eyes shimmering with murderous intent.

    He never imagined that Han Tianlei would genuinely want to kill him over a cave dwelling.

    And it was Han Tianlei’s family who made the move, no wonder the compulsory mission had sent him to Nanshan Country—it was a mission designed to send him to his death.

    If it weren’t for his strength being slightly above that of a typical Qi Refining Fourth Level Cultivator, any ordinary one would have nearly been doomed.

    From Han Yu’s mouth, he learned about the situation in Nanshan Country, and he began to have some ideas about his trip there.

    The compulsory mission had to be completed, even if it was a trap, but that would be for after the mission was done.

    Han Yu, the head of the Han Family, wasn’t as tough to deal with as imagined, and he confessed everything not long after being tortured.

    Whether relevant or not, in order to avoid further inhumane torture, Han Yu spilled everything at once.

    When it came to torture, Li Shiming could be said to be absolutely ahead of his time.

    Data in the IBMz15 about medicine informed him of the most painful parts of the human body, psychological data allowed him to manipulate minds, and information on interrogation diversified his methods of inflicting pain.

    Being a Loose Cultivator like Han Yu, with Han Tianlei as his support, actually spared him many hardships that common Loose Cultivators faced.

    Thus, his endurance to torture was significantly weaker.

    Li Shiming’s hand of spiritual power twisted Han Yu’s neck, and a look of relief appeared on Han Yu’s face.

    He placed Han Yu’s body together with the bodies of nine other Han Family cultivators, and checked their storage bags.

    Unsurprisingly, the storage bags contained no particularly valuable treasures.

    Only some spirit stones were useful; even the magical artifact used by Han Yu himself was only intermediate, something Li Shiming no longer valued.

    However, the ten storage bags provided more warehouse space in his spatial device, allowing him to store more items.

    He released a paper crane, holding a spirit stone in each hand to replenish his energy from the fight while he flew toward the capital of Nanshan Country.

    “Eh!” He hadn’t gone far when he sensed a surge of spiritual power nearby.
