Zhou Qing burst into laughter. This feeling of having control over a hostage was truly exhilarating, and it added to his confidence.
"To Spirit Skull Mountain!" Zhou Qing quietly transmitted to Lu Yaoyao.
Lu Yaoyao was momentarily taken aback but then nodded without hesitation.
Blood Bone stared at Zhou Qing, not daring to make any rash moves.
He felt his path in life had come to an end, but Sima Demoness, though young, had already reached the Great Perfection stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Her future was limitless, and advancing to Divinity Transformation was just a matter of time.
If possible, the Palace Master would rather trade ten of him to ensure her survival.
Should Sima Demoness be harmed in any way, his death would be certain.
"What exactly do you want?" Blood Bone asked, his face cold and harsh.
Zhou Qing sneered and said seriously, "Let us go!"
"Fine, give me Miss Sima’s Nascent Soul, and I’ll let you leave without pursuit!"
Blood Bone bit his teeth and said.
Zhou Qing was taken aback, then looked at the Nascent Soul he held and said in puzzlement, "Miss Sima? I thought her surname was Sima, given name Yaoyao."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoyao, who was running at full speed, almost burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, inside the prison, Sima Demoness cursed furiously.
Zhou Qing immediately implemented a technique to open the prison’s gag order, preventing her from revealing any information to Blood Bone that could be detrimental to them.
Blood Bone’s face darkened as he said again, "I can swear on the Heavenly Dao Oath!"
But Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "That I believe, but it’s just a word game. You might not pursue, but that doesn’t mean others won’t, right? For instance, you could use that black dog to lead the way."
Blood Bone’s brow furrowed instantly because he indeed had that thought.
Seeing Zhou Qing squeezing the top-grade Spirit Stone, he understood the other party was deliberately stalling for time.
Now, given the entire Five Sects of the East Domain war in Lingyun Mansion, you could never guess who might jump out next.
He had to find a way to break this stalemate quickly.
"Back off!" Zhou Qing commanded firmly.
Blood Bone’s face remained grim as he maintained his distance.
But soon, the Nascent Soul of Sima Demoness in the prison started screaming again from electric shocks.
Blood Bone squinted his eyes but remained unmoved.
He was certain Zhou Qing wouldn’t actually harm her because she was his only bargaining chip.
If Sima Demoness died, his life would become worse than death.
Seeing Blood Bone’s demeanor, Zhou Qing felt a headache coming on.
Indeed an old fox, making him retreat was not easy.
"Here’s a gift for you!" Zhou Qing suddenly smiled and threw over a golden talisman.
As soon as Blood Bone felt the violent Divinity Transformation Realm aura on the talisman, his face changed, and he retreated instantly.
A blood-colored protective shield enveloped him immediately.
In no time, the talisman sizzled, burning away without any other effect.
Seeing this, Blood Bone’s face turned extremely ugly.
Seeing Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao turn into a black dot in an instant, Blood Bone immediately chased after them.
As the distance closed again, Blood Bone cursed angrily.
Zhou Qing laughed, "Old Ghost Blood Bone, let me give you some advice: Don’t chase too eagerly. Your life is your own; there’s no need to risk it."
Blood Bone snorted coldly, continuously seeking an opportunity to strike.
Zhou Qing took out four talismans and said, "Among these, one is real, capable of delivering a blow equivalent to the late-stage Divinity Transformation. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her."
Zhou Qing unlocked the gag order on Sima Demoness’s Nascent Soul again.
Sima Demoness glared venomously at Zhou Qing, remaining silent.
Zhou Qing was taken aback and then clicked his tongue, "You’re a tough one. Afraid to confirm my claim is true, worrying that others would hesitate to save you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qing activated another talisman and threw it at Blood Bone.
Feeling the violent aura, Blood Bone gritted his teeth and retreated again.
He didn’t dare to gamble!
Watching Blood Bone flee in an instant, Zhou Qing taunted, "See, the older you get, the more afraid of death you become. Besides, you’re not even his relative; why would he risk his life to save you?" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
"Despicable scoundrel!" Soon, Blood Bone approached again, cursing loudly.
