Cultivation: Being Immortal

Central Land, Sacred Sky Sect

When Yang Luo came back, Small Shadiao had already been beaten up a few times. The one who attacked him was Yang Xi, whose beloved daughter was entangled by the Heart Demon. He was very angry.

"How’s it going? Did you confess?"

Yang Luo glanced at Small Shadiao and asked Yang Xi, saying that using torture was necessary. She still remembered how cunning this bird was.

"Confess?"

Yang Xi looked puzzled. He hadn’t even asked yet, he was just venting his anger.

Yang Luo was a little stunned when she heard this, but then she smiled and went forward to lift the restrictions on Small Shadiao.

"Ouch, it hurts so bad, you didn’t even ask! You just went ahead and beat me up without any warning."

"So, are you willing to confess now?"

"I’m surrendering now, so I won’t get beaten for no reason."

Small Shadiao raised its head and thought, "I’ll lose if I surrender, I can’t do that, otherwise I’ll just get beaten."

"Alright then, if you won’t surrender, let me break his wings first."

"Okay."

"Stop, stop, stop, Yang Luo, don’t hit!"

"Then you surrender."

"Actually, if you use a seduction strategy, I definitely won’t be able to resist, I’ll definitely surrender."

"Hahaha…"

After hearing this, Yang Luo laughed uncontrollably, while Yang Xi dumbfoundedly stared at Small Shadiao. Was this damned creature really a fifth-order Demon King, and not just a wanderer from the human world?

"Don’t laugh, don’t laugh, I’m serious."

Small Shadiao quickly said, he couldn’t bear the torture, nobody could, after a beating, it would be better to quickly use a beauty scheme.

"Alright, if you behave, how about I find you a few small birds?"

"Um, can we not have small birds?"

"Huh?"

"I already have many birds, how about some people instead?"

Small Shadiao said seriously, but Yang Xi kicked him out with one foot.

"I can’t stand it anymore, Yang Luo, I want to squeeze him to death."

"Father, you go ahead, prepare yourself, there will be visitors coming."

Yang Luo looked at Small Shadiao and liked him more and more. It’s not often to see such a clever creature.

"How should I address you, Li Dan or Yun Luo?"

"My dad used to call me Small Shadiao."

"Small Shadiao, is there such a monster race? Aren’t you an Aurora falcon?"

"Oh, it’s just a nickname for the father and son."

"Okay, I’ll call you Small Shadiao then. If you cooperate obediently, I won’t hurt you. I’ll provide you with good food and drink, and even arrange women for you. How about that?"

"Okay, okay, I’ll do whatever you say."

Small Shadiao nodded suddenly. He had to bow his head when under someone else’s roof. He admitted defeat.

"Where is your master then?"

"I don’t know."

"Look, you just said you would cooperate nicely, but now you’re not being good. If you’re not good, I might break your leg, even a third leg."

"I really don’t know, he went out of town for a breakthrough."

"Breakthrough?"

"Yes, he went for a Soul Changing breakthrough, and he didn’t even tell me. I swear, I’m serious."

"For now, I’ll believe you. Does your master have anyone or anything that he cares about?"

"No, he doesn’t."

"Still not being good?"

"No, I’m being honest."

"Where are Lin Ying and Cao Ying?"

"Lin Ying is just an ordinary person from my master’s group. There are hundreds of thousands of people like her, how can one person manage them all? Cao Ying is just an annoying little kid. My master doesn’t like her. My master and I have the same taste, we both like curvy women. Next time we catch him, don’t hit him. My master has a stubborn personality, he won’t move forward even if you lead him, he’ll only go backwards. But if you present him with some women to play with, he’ll definitely fall for it."

"So that means Li Changsheng doesn’t have any weaknesses."

"He does, he does. His weakness is me, I am his beast pet. I’ve been with him for over a thousand years, closer than a real father and son. So don’t kill me, don’t hurt me. He pampers me with delicious food and drinks. When the time comes, I’ll help you persuade him. It’s guaranteed to work. Once he gets on the bed, he won’t hesitate, no faking."

"Someone’s here!"

After hearing that, Yang Luo shouted, and then a man walked in.

"Master, I’m here."

"Take him away, torture him in every way possible, but I want him alive, lively and jumping. Next time I see him, I want to see him being stubborn."

"Yes, master."

"Oh my goodness, Yang Luo, you are such a promise-breaker, I’ve already cooperated…"

As soon as Small Shadiao heard this, he immediately started swearing loudly, now everything was ruined, his life was going to end here.

The man quickly sealed Small Shadiao’s mouth to prevent him from swearing. Yang Luo waved her hand and signaled for someone to take him away. She saw through this little trick at a glance. Unless she showed him some torture, he wouldn’t behave.

"Yang Luo, I have arrived, come out and see me."

Outside the Holy Heavenly Sect, Lin Batian floated in the air and spoke to the entire sect. Soon, Yang Xi, Yang Luo, and other high-ranking members of the Holy Heavenly Sect appeared.

"City Lord Lin, you’re a bit late."

Yang Luo spoke. It had been half a month since she captured Lin Dongyan, and Lin Batian’s arrival was indeed earlier than she had imagined.

"It’s a bit late, but what can I do? I needed to find a gift for my Taoist Friend, Yang."

"Really? Then, City Lord Lin, shall we have a chat at the entrance of the mountain?"

"No need, no need. Let’s just stay here. The environment at the Holy Heavenly Sect is not very good, a bit smelly. I want to breathe some fresh air."

"Okay, is here also fine?"

Yang Luo gave Yang Xiong a signal with her eyes. Yang Xiong nodded and quickly set up some basic prohibitions around them. It wasn’t anything powerful, just enough to block the sound around them. Some words were not meant for others to hear.

"City Lord Lin, would you like a cup of tea?"

"Yes, it’s been a long day. I’m thirsty, please serve some tea."

"Alright."

Yang Luo smiled and flew over to Lin Batian. She took out the tea set and made a cup of tea.

"Friend Yang, you’re not very kind. You not only harmed my daughter but also came to Yun State to capture people."

"Lord Lin, is your daughter okay?"

"She’s fine, just lucky."

"But judging by your aura, you don’t seem too well. Would you like to try some medicine from the Holy Heavenly Sect? Our alchemy skills have greatly improved over the years, not much worse than the Danxia Sect."

"I can handle this minor injury."

Lin Batian waved his hand, but in truth, his injuries were not light. When he stayed behind, not only did a Demon Emperor attack him, but there were also more coming from behind. He had truly risked his life, and now he was just holding on to survive.

"Lord Lin, you’re so powerful, I’m far from it."

"It’s alright, Taoist Friend Yang. How about we make a deal?"

"Please speak, Taoist Friend Lin."

"Give me a hundred people from your Holy Heavenly Sect, including one Void Achieving, in exchange for Lin Dongyan. I’ll pretend that the previous incident never happened."

"Is City Lord Lin serious?"

"Yes, we’re almost successful. Should we wait a bit longer?"

Lin Batian spoke, and as soon as he said that, Yang Luo’s face changed dramatically. Without waiting for Yang Luo to make arrangements, Yang Xiong and Yang Xi’s faces also changed dramatically because they had just received some news.

"Yang Luo, our people in various places were attacked, and many people died. Yang Yunzheng was captured."

"Lin Batian, daring to harm my heir, you’re seeking death."

Yang Xi sent a message to Yang Luo, and Yang Xiong even directly attacked, but Yang Luo stopped him directly.

"Junior sister, you…"

"Step back."

"Junior sister…"

"I don’t want to say it for the third time, go back."

Yang Luo had a gloomy face and stared coldly at Yang Xiong, who dared not bare his teeth anymore and could only silently retreat.

"City Lord Lin is so cunning."

"It’s just a matter of each other."

"What if I don’t agree?"

"Not in a hurry, let’s wait a little longer."

Lin Batian shook his head. He didn’t drink the tea poured by Yang Luo, but instead took out his own teacup and poured himself a cup.

After two hours, Lin Batian received several spiritual talismans. He immediately activated one, and a void figure appeared in the air. The scene showed Yang Yunzheng being tortured, with his limbs burned by Cao Ying’s fire magic. Even a skilled expert in Void Achieving couldn’t help but let out a scream of agony.

"Old thief Lin."

Yang Xiong saw this scene and was furious, wishing he could immediately go forward and kill Lin Batian.

"How about this gift? If it’s not enough, within half a day, I can send you the heads of one hundred members of the Yang family. When I say one hundred, it means one hundred, not a single head less."

"Not enough."

Yang Luo shook her head again, and this time it was Lin Batian who fell silent. This woman was too ruthless, yet he remained indifferent.

"Taoist Friend Yang, who knows the character of the Lin family, should be aware that we have a vendetta. Is Taoist Friend Yang ready?"

"City Lord Lin should also know about Yang’s past. When has Yang ever been afraid of threats?"

"So, what do you think?"

"Lin Dongyan enjoys the good food and drinks in my Holy Heavenly Sect. I won’t expose what he’s done, but I need City Lord Lin to help me with a small favor."

"What favor?"

"The first favor is to launch a full attack on Qing State. My Holy Heavenly Sect will fully support your Yun State. I can even help you advance in Tao Achieving. However, I need to enter the Green Emperor Tomb. The second favor is to hand over Li Changsheng to me."

"Who is Li Changsheng?"

"Ask your daughter, Lin Ying, and you will find out."

Yang Luo’s words made Lin Batian doubtful. He really didn’t know about this because Lin Ying didn’t tell him. Lin Batian was very busy and didn’t bother with such small matters.

"City Lord Lin, my request is actually very simple. I just want to go and see the Green Emperor Tomb. Don’t worry, after the four major families are destroyed, Qing State will still belong to you. I’m not interested in what Lin Dongyan is doing. My ambitions and desires are even bigger than you can imagine. I have no interest in the things of this world."

Yang Luo continued speaking, and Lin Batian didn’t answer right away. Instead, he thought carefully about the pros and cons.
