Death Grip
After seeing Xing Chen's expression, the Blue-Clad Girl smiled lightly, and then with a movement, only a shadow remained on the treetop where she had been.
Not good!
Xing Chen's expression changed. Just as he was about to take action, a pale hand had already slapped down on his shoulder.
A powerful Vital Energy instantly sealed off the flow of Vital Energy within Xing Chen's body with an unmatched force.
"How is it? My strength isn't bad, right? Don't you think I'm impressive?" The Blue-Clad Girl looked at Xing Chen with a cheerful smile.
"To the victor belong the spoils; I have nothing to say. If you want to kill me, just do it," Xing Chen snorted coldly. The Blue-Clad Girl's strength was indeed formidable; even if he were uninjured, he might not be able to defeat her, let alone in his current severely injured state.
"Oh dear, how could I be so cruel? Do I look like someone who casually kills people?" The Blue-Clad Girl pouted playfully and said, "Actually, I mean no harm; I just want to ask you for a favor." She appeared quite pitiful.
"Impossible. I, Xing Chen, never help others under threat," Xing Chen stated firmly, leaving no room for negotiation in his words.
"Then how about this: let's make a deal. You can propose any request as long as it's not too excessive; I can agree to it. In return, you just need to help me with something. What do you think?"
The Blue-Clad Girl furrowed her brows slightly and pondered for a moment before speaking.
After all, facing someone who wouldn't yield to threats, she had no better options besides offering some form of compensation.
"Request?" Xing Chen's gaze shifted slightly. He had initially thought that this girl would surely force him or torment him; he didn't expect her to actually compromise with him.
The Blue-Clad Girl noticed his slight interest and couldn't help but smile. As long as he was willing to make a request, it would be easy to handle; what she feared was that he wouldn't ask for anything at all.
"First, I want to know what exactly you intend to do," Xing Chen said, his gaze fixed intensely on the Blue-Clad Girl. She had gone to such great lengths to capture him and Dan Tai Hong, so she must have some significant plans.
"Well, you'll find out sooner or later. Since you asked, I'll be straightforward: I want you to accompany me to explore the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance site," the Blue-Clad Girl stated boldly.
Upon hearing this, Xing Chen nearly bit his tongue. It should be noted that the royal family had spent thousands of One Hundred Thousand Yuan Stones at the auction just to obtain the map leading to the Thunderfire Deity's Legacy site.
If they found out that others also knew the location of the Thunderfire Deity's Legacy, they would probably be furious enough to spit blood.
"Second, you must not restrict my freedom, nor seal my Vital Energy. If you want me to accompany you to the Inheritance site, I must wait until I recover from my injuries," he continued after a brief moment of distraction.
"Third, if I find any treasures at the Inheritance site, you must not try to take them from me."
After a short pause, Xing Chen presented his second and third requests.
"I can agree to the third condition, but for the second one, what if you run away if I don't restrict your freedom?" The Blue-Clad Girl pondered for a moment before responding.
"In that case, there’s no room for negotiation," Xing Chen shrugged. He absolutely did not want to experience being controlled by someone else.
"Alright, I won't restrict your freedom, but I will follow you wherever you go," the Blue-Clad Girl said with a frown after considering it for a while.
"That's fine; if you want to follow me, go ahead!" Xing Chen shrugged again. He didn't mind her following him since he had no intention of running away. He also wanted to see the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance site.
The only unclear thing now is why the Blue-Clad Girl insists on using force to coerce herself and Dan Tai Hong Zhen to accompany her. If she simply made an announcement, many people would surely be willing to go.
"This is the Healing Elixir. With these pills, your injuries will heal quickly," the Blue-Clad Girl said as she took out a jade bottle from her Storage Ring and tossed it to Xing Chen.
Xing Chen remained expressionless as he caught the jade bottle given to him by the Blue-Clad Girl. The bottle contained the Healing Elixir, which could help him recover from his injuries swiftly.
"Aren't you going to check on that Rascal? Aren't you afraid he might escape?" Xing Chen asked as he sat down cross-legged, tending to his wounds while speaking.
"I'm not afraid he will run away; I'm afraid you will. To me, you are far more important than him," the Blue-Clad Girl replied with a smile. "Besides, if I leave, what will happen if you encounter danger? I would be very worried if you got hurt."
Xing Chen slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking. The effects of the elixir had already begun to take effect. He guided the pure medicinal energy through his body, healing his internal injuries.
According to the Blue-Clad Girl's method, as long as he took this elixir, his injuries would recover in a very short time. Originally, Xing Chen thought this short time would take at least one or two hours, but unexpectedly, he felt his internal injuries beginning to heal slowly already.
Xing Chen calculated in his mind that at this rate, it would probably take no more than two or three hours for his injuries to fully heal.
However, this was not his territory after all. So even if he recovered from his injuries, he had to act low-key. After this lesson, Xing Chen would definitely not overestimate himself again.
"Hmm? You still want to control me?" As the medicinal energy was released, Xing Chen keenly noticed a trace of poison hidden within the elixir—one of the most vicious poisons known as Soul Controlling Poison. Once affected by this poison, one would be completely subservient to others.
Just as the poison was about to enter Xing Chen's soul, a Black Jade Pendant suddenly appeared in front of him. Then, a faint light flashed on the Black Jade Pendant, and the trace of poison was absorbed by it.
"Hmph, since you want to control me, I might as well turn the tables on you," Xing Chen thought rapidly, feeling even more wary of the Blue-Clad Girl.
Through the recent confrontation, Xing Chen had roughly assessed the opponent's strength. Even if he fully recovered from his injuries, he would have no more than a fifty percent chance of winning against the Blue-Clad Girl.
"What she doesn't realize is that I haven't truly been controlled by her. When the time comes, I will definitely deliver a fatal blow," Xing Chen thought fiercely to himself.
The Blue-Clad Girl had a mysterious identity; just the fact that she could casually produce such valuable pills indicated that her background was definitely not simple.
Three hours later, Xing Chen's injuries had mostly healed. The rapid recovery was certainly thanks to the Blue-Clad Girl's pills; otherwise, he would have needed at least ten to fifteen days of rest.
"How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?" Upon seeing Xing Chen open his eyes, the Blue-Clad Girl asked with feigned concern.
What she truly wanted to know was whether Xing Chen had discovered the trace of poison hidden in the pills.
"I'm basically fine now. Where are we going?" Xing Chen glanced at the Blue-Clad Girl and replied calmly.
"Come with me!" The Blue-Clad Girl smiled upon hearing Xing Chen's words and then turned to leave.
Since Xing Chen hadn't noticed the trace of poison, it made things easier. That trace of poison would definitely be useful at a critical moment.
"Are you just going to let that Rascal from the Sword Sect go?" Xing Chen followed the Blue-Clad Girl and slowly spoke up.
Dantai Hongzhen had been captured alongside him by this Blue-Clad Girl. Now that he hadn't escaped from her clutches, it would be too unbalanced for Xing Chen if Dantai Hongzhen managed to flee.
"He's nowhere near your level. I don't have time to deal with him right now!" The Blue-Clad Girl looked at Xing Chen, blinked her large eyes, and said with a smile.
Xing Chen was speechless at the Blue-Clad Girl's explanation. What did she mean by "far behind me"? Was that really a reason to let Dan Tai Hong Zhen go? This was just too ridiculous.
"Where exactly is the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance?" Along the way, Xing Chen asked aimlessly. He really couldn't stand this Blue-Clad Girl anymore. Although she looked cute and always had a smile on her face, she hadn't revealed anything about the Thunderfire Deity's Legacy, which made Xing Chen want to curse.
"Just follow me and don't ask so many questions," the Blue-Clad Girl said cheerfully. At this moment, she finally found pleasure in getting back at Xing Chen. Back on the ship, he had treated her coldly, but now the tables had turned, and it was her turn to ignore him.
As a powerful figure at the Peak of Fate Observation Realm, the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance must contain countless treasures. If one could truly obtain his legacy, breaking through to Yang Spirit Peak without achieving Gaze of Fate would be guaranteed.
Faced with such temptation, even the usually indifferent Xing Chen felt a fire ignite in his heart. But what was most frustrating was that this Blue-Clad Girl hadn't revealed a single word about the Thunderfire Deity's Legacy along the way, which made Xing Chen dislike her even more.
"Seeing you so pitiful, I’ll tell you about the Thunderfire Deity!" Noticing Xing Chen's disgruntled expression, the Blue-Clad Girl covered her mouth and chuckled.
"The Thunderfire Deity was a powerful figure who roamed the Eastern Region a thousand years ago. His cultivation reached the peak of Fate Observation Realm, and he practiced the Thunderfire Classic, an extremely rare Cultivation Method in this world. When mastered to perfection, it could summon countless thunderbolts and unleash devastating punishments capable of sweeping away any opponent of the same level," the Blue-Clad Girl explained slowly.
"As for the cause of the Thunderfire Deity's death, no one knows for sure. However, it is said that he went to the Central Domain and returned shortly before he died."
"With the death of the Thunderfire Deity, no one from the Eastern Region has ever emerged as a Gaze of Fate powerhouse again," she added with a hint of regret. At that time, the Thunderfire Deity was the strongest in the entire Eastern Region. However, after reaching the peak of Fate Observation Realm, his cultivation stagnated. Thus, he left the Eastern Region for the Central Domain and returned on the brink of death.
