44: Chapter 44 What kind of apprenticeship is this? He just wants to possess her.

Yuan Thirteen Limits stared intently at Wang Yuyan, his eyes brimming with fervor.

This woman possessed an immortal bone. Nurturing her would make her an exceptional subject for martial arts practice.

He was currently still in the first Realm of the Grandmaster Realm—Returning to Truth, which meant returning to one's original self.

On the surface, the second Realm seemed close at hand, but in reality, the distance between the two was vast.

Once one reached the Grandmaster Realm, in the field of martial arts, apart from Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques, other things offered little assistance. It relied more on one's own dedicated comprehension.

The Comprehension Ability Wang Yuyan displayed even made Yuan Thirteen Limits marvel inwardly, making him single-mindedly determined to take her under his wing.

But if she was unwilling, he would have no choice but to harden his heart, destroy this delicate flower, and extract her immortal bone to refine it into a Divine Pill.

Such a person truly should not be left alive. If she were allowed to grow, she would undoubtedly become terrifying in the future.

Become your Disciple?

Wang Yuyan's eyes instantly turned cold. She could sense the malice emanating from Yuan Thirteen Limits.

What apprenticeship? He just wants to possess her.

She was utterly repulsed by such a notion and said with disgust, 'Thank you for your kind offer, but I would rather die than become the Disciple of someone like you.'

'Hmph, how ungrateful!' Yuan Thirteen Limits said icily.

'Master, allow this Disciple to capture them for you, for your enjoyment,' a sinister and malevolent voice rang out.

Everyone present turned towards the source of the voice. It turned out that while everyone's attention was focused on Yuan Thirteen Limits, ten people had arrived behind him.

'The six harmonies azure dragon: Lu Shuyi, Yan Shier, Gu Tiesan, Zhao Huasi, Ye Qiwu, Qi Wenliu!'

'The Seventh Under Heaven, Wen Xuean!'

'The Grand Open Divine Whip Situ Can, the Grand Alloy Divine Whip Sima Fei, the Open-Close Divine Lord Sikong Cripple!'

With the help of the Four Swords and One Blade Attendants, Cheng Yayü had reached the doorway and was calling out the names of those ten people one by one.

With each name spoken, the breathing of those around would halt for a moment, stunned by the intimidation these names carried.

At that moment, a handsome young man in white clothes, his eyes glinting with greed and malice, spoke up. He was the one who had just offered to capture Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing.

Yuan Thirteen Limits stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping twice over the interior of the relay station as he asked, 'Where is that Heir Apparent of the Duke of Jing?'

Wang Yuyan's heart sank. These people were indeed targeting the 'bad person.'

'Fortunately, he's not here. That's truly a relief.' Wang Yuyan let out a sigh of relief. She understood clearly in her heart that even if Zhao Fangcai returned now, he would be no match for a Grandmaster. She had already made a decision.

She snorted coldly and did not answer.

'You care for him deeply. Very well, I'll capture you first. If he's a man of responsibility, he will surely come to rescue you,'

Yuan Thirteen Limits said, 'If he doesn't come, you'll see his true colors. It would be better to submit to me instead.'

'Wishful thinking!' Wang Yuyan said coldly.

Mu Wanqing said anxiously, 'Sister, you must escape! I'll cover for you!'

Wang Yuyan gently grasped her hand and said, 'Sister Mu, I've implicated you. We absolutely must not become pawns these villains use to coerce His Highness.'

Mu Wanqing was taken aback. She hadn't expected the seemingly delicate 'Sister Wang' to possess such fortitude. So, she had already prepared for death. Mu Wanqing took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

Hearing their words, Cheng Yayü, Liang Qing, and the others were deeply moved.

They were willing to sacrifice their lives for that Heir Apparent? What kind of sentiment was this?

'If I could have a woman like that, following me through life and death, then this life would not have been lived in vain,' the men present sighed with such emotion, unable to help feeling jealous of Zhao Fangcai.

Even Yuan Thirteen Limits was momentarily distracted, as if stirred by sad memories of the past, a trace of melancholy flickering across his face.

Cheng Yayü also grew even more curious about that Heir Apparent.

'Ladies, we are not at that point yet.'

He exhaled, took out a token, and said solemnly, 'Swordsman Xiao, Yang Jian, Xie Chunhua, I ask you to protect Sister Wang with all your might. Do not let them obtain the immortal bone!'

'Yes!'

Seeing that token, Swordsman Xiao, Yang Jian, and Xie Chunhua immediately stepped forward.

This surprised Yu Chuntong and the others. They couldn't understand why these three from the Alliance would obey the orders of the Six Doors' Ruthless.

'The Pacifying Chaos Tablet! You... you are from the Six Doors?' Ling Shangyan exclaimed, wide-eyed.

'Ah?'

'What?'

Ling Xiaogu, Yu Chuntong, and the others—none were not astonished.

The three top experts under the Alliance's Ling Luanshi were actually all from the Six Doors?

If they obtained the Alliance Leader Token, wouldn't the Six Doors' undercover agent become the new Alliance Leader of the Alliance?

An undercover agent becoming the boss? Ling Shangyan and the others were thrown into disarray.

'Haha, just you?'

'What if you add us?'

Two figures shot forth like lightning, swift as meteors, landing in the middle of the scene.

One was a young man with a cold, stern face; the other was a middle-aged man who appeared carefree and debonair.

'The Shadowless and Traceless Cui Getian?'

Yu Chuntong recognized the middle-aged man, raising an eyebrow slightly. As for the young man, he didn't know him, but he seemed familiar.

These two were none other than Cold Blood and Life Chaser, who had also infiltrated the Alliance. They had been observing from the sidelines for a long time.

Cheng Yayü said to Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing, 'Ladies, you should leave first. We will hold them off!'

Wang Yuyan's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She understood the urgency of the situation; there was no time for deliberation. She made a decisive decision and replied, 'Alright!' Immediately grabbing Mu Wanqing's hand, she said, 'Sister Mu, let's go!'

Yuan Thirteen Limits cast a contemptuous glance their way and laughed heartily, saying, 'Even if your Master Zhuge Zhengwo were here, he wouldn't be qualified to say such words!'

His arrogant aura soared to the heavens as he declared, 'Today, I will obtain this immortal bone. Even if the Jade Emperor himself descends, he cannot stop me!'

His eyes shone with a golden light, his majestic and solemn demeanor making people dare not look directly at him.

The aura emanating from him caused the entire relay station to tremble, as if giant waves were churning and mountains collapsing, draining the color from heaven and earth.

Facing the majesty of a Grandmaster-level figure, Cheng Yayü, Swordsman Xiao, and the others all wore grave expressions, resolved to face death.

Whether out of duty or to prevent the immortal bone from falling into the hands of a Devil Head and bringing disaster to the people of the world, they felt an inescapable responsibility.

'Go and capture them!' Yuan Thirteen Limits commanded with a wave of his hand.

Dealing with these people at the Innate and Acquired Realms was not worth him taking action personally.

'As you command!'

His ten Disciples charged forth like wolves and tigers.

At that moment...

An angry roar, mixed with the cry of a crane, came from the sky.

'Hmph, who is boasting so shamelessly?'

The whistling sound gradually approached from the distance.

'Oh? Who is it?'
