This time, the witch didn't smile, yet a trace of amusement flickered in her cold eyes. She said, "A wise person knows when to yield. Although you are a pitiful weakling, showing submission to me does indeed allow you to survive. However, you haven't answered my question! How exactly have you succeeded in cultivating the Divine Technique, and how did you break my Fire Seal?"
"Great Witch, I truly do not know..."
Yang Tian hurriedly said.
The witch's expression became extremely cold. She gave Yang Tian a cold glance and suddenly said icily, "I will make you speak!"
A beam of light shot from the witch's hand, striking Yang Tian.
Yang Tian felt himself lift into the air, following the witch towards the edge of the cliff.
The witch's mana was extraordinarily powerful; in just a moment, Yang Tian saw Wang Ying and others anxiously waiting at the cliff's edge.
Upon seeing Yang Tian, Wang Yue immediately rushed over.
She carefully examined Yang Tian and suddenly asked in confusion, "Big brother, where's the Fire Seal on your arm?"
"Gone? How is that possible?" Wang Yue suddenly looked up excitedly towards the witch in mid-air, "Sister, did you remove the Fire Seal on big brother's arm? Hehe, I knew it, sister is our family, she'll definitely think of us!"
The witch let out a cold snort and ignored Wang Yue.
She cast a ring of light around Yang Tian and the others, and then her figure flashed and disappeared on the horizon.
"Sister, where are you going..."
Wang Yue became anxious.
Yang Tian quickly grabbed Wang Yue and said solemnly, "Yueyue, from now on don't call her sister. She is a witch, capricious and unpredictable; we are merely amusing pets she gained after two thousand years of cultivation. She will never be sincere with you and could kill you at any moment!"
"But sister isn't like that..."
Wang Yue's little face turned pale.
"She is no longer your sister, she is a witch!"
Wang Ying quickly slapped Wang Yue on the head.
This time, Wang Yue didn't react, just said a little dejectedly, "Sister used to be so good to us..."
"Yueyue, I want you to be resolute, the witch is a terrifying existence, not your sister!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Yang Tian held Wang Yue's shoulders, looking into her eyes intently.
Wang Yue nodded slightly and sat there in silence.
Yang Tian glanced at Wang Yue, sighed inwardly, shook his head, and ignored Wang Yue. Instead, he thought of leaving while the witch was away, but found that the light circle held them firmly in place, leaving them immobile.
Yang Tian wanted to use Spiritual Breath to forcefully break the light circle, but the witch had already returned.
The witch also brought back more than a dozen survivors.
Wang Ying's eyes showed confusion.
Why would the witch actively bring those survivors back?
The dozen or so survivors also saw Yang Tian and the others, but without uttering a sound, they landed and quickly knelt, saying respectfully, "Please spare us, Great Witch. We are just here to search for Magical Treasures."
"Just like Yang Tian, you will all call me Great Witch!"
The witch said calmly.
The dozen survivors called out respectfully, kneeling on the ground without daring to breathe heavily.
"I've brought you here to make you my dogs!"
The witch suddenly said.
Yang Tian frowned, sensing something ominous, and looked up at the witch.
"Indeed, you pitiful weaklings, in my eyes, are nothing but dogs. If you please me, I shall allow you to be human. Not just them, Yang Tian, you are the same!"
The witch said calmly.
Yang Tian said no more, but it was clear in his heart that this witch brought the survivors back possibly to deal with him.
"Thank you, Great Witch!"
The faces of those survivors lit up with excitement.
They initially wanted to team up to search for Magical Treasures and Demon Beasts, but only found low-level ones. If they truly followed the witch, she might, in her happiness, bestow upon them some superior Magical Treasures.
They had no backer and could be annihilated at any time.
Being the witch's dogs, she would surely protect them.
Thinking of this, everyone felt a bit excited.
But Wang Yue was anxious: "Sister, big brother and I aren't dogs, we're your family!"
The witch snorted coldly, waved her hand, and flew with everyone deep into the forest. Soon they arrived at a hall, where the witch said calmly, "From today, you are my dogs. I have my Spiritual Breath on you. Anyone who disobeys will be punished, anyone who dares to leave here will die!"
After saying this, the witch vanished.
"Great! With a backer like the witch, no one will dare bully us!"
"And by pleasing the witch, she might even grant us Magical Treasures and Demon Beasts!"
"We must be faithful dogs!"
The dozen survivors said excitedly.
Hearing this, Yang Tian sneered inwardly.
Don't even think about it. At most, he would be humble, but if given a chance, Yang Tian would be the first to kill the witch.
Moreover, it was evident this witch knew there were secrets on Yang Tian, which is why she brought everyone here.
