254: Chapter 254 You wouldn't want to see anything happen to your Holy Maiden, would you?

"Holy crap!!"

Seeing Ji Taichang and Su Yuehe kiss passionately as if no one else were there, Kunkun's eyes widened: "No way, man!"

"Master, what are you doing?"

"I worked so hard to stall this guy. Master, hurry up and collect the Opportunity! Can't you wait until there's no one around to be intimate?"

Ji Taichang released Su Yuehe's cherry lips, holding her hot and soft body in one arm, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "There's no need for that."

"Fellow from Canglan Holy Court, you wouldn't want to see your Saintess get into trouble, would you?"

Ji Taichang pulled out the carefree tower and shook it gently.

Under his control, the carefree tower gradually became transparent. Inside, black chains rattled as they firmly bound Long Yiling's true form. Hot Dragon blood dripped from her wounds, making for a truly miserable sight.

"Her Highness the Saintess!?"

"How is this possible—"

The middle-aged man's pupils shrank violently, hardly able to believe his eyes!

That was the Saintess of the Canglan Holy Court!

Long Yiling was not only an Azure Dragon descendant with a Heaven-Defying Bloodline and heritage, but she also possessed a powerful Supreme-grade talent. She had even once fought against a great Cultivator at the first layer of the Body Integration Stage!

Even though it was only for a few moves, it was enough to show how strong her combat power was.

Moreover, Long Yiling carried many treasures bestowed by the Canglan Holy Court. Even if she couldn't defeat an enemy, she should have had the strength to protect herself.

How could she have been captured by Ji Taichang so quickly?

"Release Her Highness the Saintess immediately!"

The middle-aged man let out a furious roar. The silver spear in his hand shone with ten thousand rays of light, carrying a terrifying Aura. He struck out fiercely, repelling Kunkun.

He then transformed into a White Flood Dragon over three thousand zhang long, charging toward Ji Taichang with claws and fangs bared. The Aura of the third layer of the Body Integration Stage pressed down like the falling sky, making it hard to breathe!

But Ji Taichang showed no fear at all; he simply shook the carefree tower in his hand vigorously.

The black chains inside suddenly tightened, carving bloody wounds into Long Yiling's body and causing her to let out a shrill scream!

"Try touching me and see what happens?"

"I'd like to see if you can save her faster than I can kill her!!"

Ji Taichang's voice was cold. The light from the carefree tower grew more intense. Not only were the chains tightening, but several sharp blades also appeared, all aimed at Long Yiling, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment!

"You... Stop!!"

The middle-aged man was so terrified that he came to a dead halt.

Seeing Long Yiling being humiliated, he was so enraged that his eyes turned red and bloodshot.

"Her Highness the Saintess is a direct descendant of our Canglan Holy Court's Holy Lord! If you dare to kill her, not only will you die, but the entire Shuiyue Holy Land will pay the price!"

"What are you babbling about?"

Ji Taichang picked his ear: "I respond to soft persuasion but not to threats. It's useless to threaten me. You think she's the only one with a background?"

"I am the strongest Genius of the Shuiyue Holy Land, favored and highly regarded by the Holy Lord!"

"The Holy Lord of Water Moon Holy Land is also a Mahayana Stage powerhouse, and her cultivation is even deeper and more powerful than your Canglan Holy Court's Holy Lord. If you have the guts, let your Holy Lord come and have a grand battle with ours."

"You're just a few little loaches; the Holy Lord of Water Moon Holy Land hasn't even placed you in her eyes!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Su Yuehe's eyes widened in surprise. She wondered to herself, was the Holy Lord really that dominant and overbearing? She didn't even care about the Canglan Holy Court?

Yun Qiyao's lips twitched slightly, but a smile appeared on her face. She knew Ji Taichang was intentionally drawing hatred toward Ling Qinghan!

"Arrogant!!"

As expected, the middle-aged man was provoked. He said coldly, "After leaving the Konglan Sea Area, I will relay your words to the Holy Lord and have her personally visit the Shuiyue Holy Land!"

"I want to see where a dilapidated Holy Land in the Eastern Desolate Region gets the courage to provoke my Canglan Holy Court like this!"

Ji Taichang picked his ear: "Stop talking nonsense. It's not impossible to save your Saintess. Hand over all your Magic Treasures and your Storage Ring. Pay the ransom to get her back."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes turned even redder with rage: "Junior, how dare you!"

He was a dignified powerhouse of the Body Integration Stage. If he were robbed of his Magic Treasures and wealth by a junior, his reputation would be completely ruined if word got out!

This was simply a great humiliation!!

"I'll only give you ten breaths to consider. If you don't hand them over, I'll slaughter her. I'll see how you explain that to your Holy Lord then!"

A cruel expression appeared on Ji Taichang's face. Spiritual power flowed through his fingers as the light of the carefree tower grew more radiant. The chains continued to tighten, causing Long Yiling to scream shrilly. Dragon blood flowed freely, revealing patches of white bone; she was in critical condition!

Ji Taichang coldly began the countdown.

"Ten, three, two..."

"Wait a minute!!!"

The middle-aged man's hair stood on end: "Didn't you say ten breaths? Who counts by skipping numbers like that?"

"My rules are the rules!"

Ji Taichang sneered: "Two, one..."

"Wait!!"

The middle-aged man shouted again: "I can only give you part of my wealth. Change your condition; don't go too far."

"You are in no position to bargain."

Ji Taichang's tone was cold as he slowly tightened his fingers. The sharp blades hovering around Long Yiling suddenly glowed and slashed down like lightning!

"Stop!!"

"I... I agree to your terms!!"

The middle-aged man's eyes nearly split from the strain as he let out a roar of grief and indignation.

Though he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice at all!

If Long Yiling were killed in front of him, he would likely be killed on the spot by the enraged Holy Lord once he returned to the Canglan Holy Court!

In comparison, giving up some worldly possessions was not unacceptable.

With bloodshot eyes and teeth clenched so hard they nearly shattered, the middle-aged man took off his Magic Treasures and Storage Ring and threw them to Ji Taichang.

Ji Taichang's eyes glowed slightly as he activated the power of the Heavenly Fox True Pupil, scrutinizing the middle-aged man: "You still have a storage treasure hidden in your Dantian, as well as a Dragon Scale Sword. Hand them over honestly."

The middle-aged man's body shook violently, and his pupils quaked!

He was at the third layer of the Body Integration Stage!

Furthermore, he had done his best to conceal the state of his Dantian. Logically, even that Seven-Colored Peacock, who was also at the Body Integration Stage, shouldn't have been able to peer into his Dantian. How did this guy see it?

The middle-aged man instinctively wanted to argue and refuse to admit it.

But when he saw Ji Taichang's ruthless and sneering face, he gritted his teeth and didn't dare to deny it.

Ji Taichang saw the situation in his Dantian with perfect clarity; there was no use in denying it!

"I'll... give them all to you!!"

Suppressing the urge to weep at the loss, the middle-aged man took out the storage treasure and the Dragon Scale Sword from his Dantian and handed them to Ji Taichang with trembling hands.
