170: I Was Pretty Cool Just Now
🕑 Added 2025-02-02 16:09:42 +0000 UTCMost of the women working here are at least at the Divine Origin Realm, with Sister Yan and the other three at the Divine Soul Realm. However, even with their cultivation levels, they could hardly breathe under his overwhelming pressure.
"Young... Young Master, please calm your anger! They truly are unable to serve you today," Sister Yan struggled to speak, the pressure overwhelming. If it hadn't been for Yun Wuji holding her up, she would have fallen to her knees like the others.
But even so, she couldn't reveal the truth to him.
"Very well..." Yun Wuji said with a smile, releasing her chin and retracting his aura. The four women regained some color and sighed in relief, thinking that this young master might still be someone who could be reasoned with. However, when they heard his next words, their expressions turned pale again.
"Since you don't want to bring them to me, I'll crush this place and drag them out myself," His smile turned colder, and after speaking, he no longer paid any attention to them, walking straight toward the door.
'Not good!' All four women thought simultaneously, hurriedly getting to their feet and rushing toward him to stop him.
Thud!
They had only taken one step when the earlier pressure descended upon them again, forcing them back to their knees. Helpless, they could only watch as he left the room.
Without looking back, Yun Wuji continued on his way.
"Young Master, wait! I'll tell you where they are!" Suddenly, the cold beauty Fairy Bing shouted.
"Sister Bing!"
"Sister Bing, what are you doing?"
The other three women's faces changed, and they looked at her with horror and shock.
Yun Wuji turned around, his cold expression melting into a gentle smile as he said, "Go ahead, speak."
"No, don't tell him!" Sister Yan's face turned panicked, and she shouted at Fairy Bing.
If these two young masters clashed, no matter the outcome, they would be the ones to suffer the most!
"Sister Yao and Sister Su are serving someone else," Fairy Bing said cautiously, watching his expression closely. She gritted her teeth and spoke hesitantly, fearing that this young master might explode in anger and do something reckless, dragging them all down with him.
"I figured that out," Yun Wuji nodded, his expression showing that he had already expected this. He gave Sister Yan a meaningful glance before turning back to Fairy Bing and asking, "Who are they serving?"
"He... he is the son of the Realm King of the Radiant Mountain Realm," Fairy Bing answered, then mustered her courage and added, "His father is a Divine Master. Young Master, I don't think it's a good idea to provoke someone like him just for a few lowly women like us... Why don't you let this matter go? The four of us sisters will serve you wholeheartedly."
She looked at him with watery eyes, bringing her arms together and squeezing her chest. The other three women also gazed at him hopefully, their faces filled with pitiful expressions. If anyone were to see this scene, they would lose all their anger and wouldn't bear to turn down these pitiful women.
"Young Master Han or Young Master Chan, anyone who takes what I want will pay the price," Yun Wuji said indifferently, unmoved by their pleas. He then ordered Fairy Bing, "You come with me and show me where this Young Master Han is."
...
The third floor was enormous, with over four hundred rooms and a maze of interconnected corridors and pathways. If someone unfamiliar with the layout wandered in, they would easily lose their way.
"Young Master, the place is just around this corner," Fairy Bing, walking beside him, glanced at his face and said softly.
As they neared their destination, Yun Wuji suddenly stopped. He turned to face Fairy Bing, stretched out his arm, and opened his palm. In his hand was a blue crystal. "Take this," he said.
Fairy Bing took the crystal from him with both hands, her expression filled with confusion and bewilderment. "Young Master... this... what is this?"
Yun Wuji retracted his arm and said lightly, "I am not an unreasonable man. This is my own business, and I don't want to drag you into it. But I also won't give it up just for the sake of some strangers..."
"This crystal is a spatial device. It can only be used once. If you crush it, it will activate a profound formation that can teleport everyone inside."
"If you're afraid of being implicated, or if you want to leave this place with your friends, you can use it."
After finishing his words, Yun Wuji turned and walked away. Having spread his sense earlier, he had seen the sad and pitiful lives of the women in this place. However, he wasn’t a saint or a hero. He couldn’t save everyone, and he didn’t want to be one either.
Fairy Bing's hands, clutching the blue crystal, suddenly trembled. She clenched it tighter, pressing it against her chest as if afraid it would vanish. Then, dropping to her knees, her body shook as tears streamed down her cheeks. She couldn't believe she had been given something that could fulfill the only wish she had in this life.
Lifting her tear-filled eyes, she gazed at Yun Wuji’s blurred figure. With a hoarse voice, she cried out, "Young... Young Master, thank you! Thank you! Bing'er will never forget your grace!"
Yun Wuji waved his hand casually, not bothering to look back.
'I was pretty cool just now, wasn't I?' he thought as he walked.
Two of the four guards Yun Wuji had seen following Young Master Han stood at the entrance of his private room, while the others were inside the adjacent rooms, ‘playing’ just like their master.
As soon as Yun Wuji stepped into their view, one of the guards shot him a cold look and barked, “No one is allowed here. Scram!”
Since their Young Master was resting here, they wouldn’t allow anyone within a hundred meters of his room, even if they were just passing through the corridor.
Not to mention, this was the VIP section, where the distance between each room exceeded five hundred meters. Anyone who purposely came this close was either a fool or looking for trouble.
"..." Yun Wuji didn't reply and simply kept walking forward.
"Brat! Didn't you hear me?" The guard frowned, his expression darkening as he scowled. Where did this ignorant kid come from? How dare some lowly trash from a middle-star realm ignore him? Anger and humiliation surged within him. He was going to crush this pathetic fool to dust. Without hesitation, he raised his hand, ready to smash the ignorant brat’s head.
"Agh!!!" However, before the man could react, Yun Wuji's figure blurred. In an instant, he appeared in front of him, delivering a powerful punch straight into his stomach. The impact caused his body to curl like a fried shrimp, his eyes bulging with veins popping beneath the surface. Blood poured violently from his mouth and nose as he was sent flying upward, crashing into the ceiling.
Bang!
The guard's twisted body collided with the ceiling, creating a large hole. The ceiling itself was made of thick jade, reinforced by profound formations. Even a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to damage it with full force. Yet, in this instant, the guard’s body was embedded into it as if it were nothing more than paper.
"What are you doing?!" The other guard quickly reacted, drawing his sword and rushing at Yun Wuji. He slashed with all his strength, sending a long, sharp arc of purple-red profound energy toward Yun Wuji.
Yun Wuji stretched out his hand and waved it casually. When the purple-red arc of profound energy met his hand, it dispersed as if it were nothing more than smoke.
"Wha..." Witnessing this scene, the guard's eyes nearly popped out of his head. His body trembled in fear, and he stumbled backward. His trembling hand couldn't even hold onto the sword properly, causing it to fall to the ground. He could clearly sense that the person in front of him was only at the Divine Soul Realm—how could he casually stop his attack like that?!
What the hell is going on with this world? Since when was it so easy to cross the gap in cultivation ranks?
What in the world is happening? Why does this feel like one of those trashy Xianxia novels?
Wait... Xianxia novel? What’s that?
The guard was so terrified that he inadvertently entered a state of enlightenment, he felt as though he was on the brink of discovering some profound secret. However, before he could grasp it, a punch struck his face, sending him crashing into the room’s door.
