Chapter 315: Continuing the Previous Agreement

“Answer honestly, and I’ll help you out of this predicament.”
Tianyin’s request was undoubtedly highly tempting to Su Che.
“I will definitely answer Sister’s questions honestly,” Su Che replied earnestly through telepathy. “‘Heavenly Tremor’ indicates an impending great disaster. Before that happens, I must hurry to improve my strength—not only in cultivation but also by acquiring many life-saving treasures, like the wealth right before us. Only then can I have a chance of survival during this great calamity. It’s not just for myself, but also for the Tianxuan Sect…”
Su Che blabbed on endlessly until Tianyin impatiently interrupted him. With a cold expression, she said, “Your answer isn’t honest at all—it’s pure mockery. In that case, not only won’t I help you, but I’ll also advise our sect leader to do everything possible to take that wealth away from you! Even the Wuji Sect won’t be responsible for your safety. Be careful!”
“Would Sister be so heartless?” Su Che asked with a bitter smile.
“I’m not going to kill you myself—so where does ‘heartlessness’ come from?” Tianyin sneered. “Besides, you hid everything from me; it’s your own fault!”
Hearing this, Su Che actually broke into a laugh, his gaze toward Tianyin looking rather strange.
As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn’t bark—it’s just trying to scare him. The more she said such things, the less likely she was to actually do it! Su Che was absolutely certain of this.
Seeing his expression, Tianyin was at a loss. She could only scold him in her heart as a scoundrel before saying, “No matter how much you try to argue, I’ve already determined that it’s you!”
“Sister, how about we wait two years? When I go to the Wuji Sect to fulfill our agreement, we can sit down and discuss these things properly.”
Su Che wasn’t even aware that he was particularly bold when dealing with Tianyin, able to act shamelessly toward her. He said the same now: “If you really can help me, stop hiding it. Hurry up—I’m getting desperate!”
Tianyin gritted her teeth and stared at him fiercely for a while before saying, “You must swear that in two years, you’ll answer my questions honestly.”
“That won’t do!” Su Che refused to fall for it and immediately replied, “Everyone has secrets. It’s impossible to tell you everything, right?”
“I’ll ask you ten questions. You just need to choose three and answer them truthfully,” Tianyin conceded. “Is that acceptable?”
“Okay!” Su Che nodded. “That’s fair.”

“Swear!” Tianyin stepped closer again.
“I swear by my inner demons—if Senior Sister Tianyin helps me get through this difficult time, in two years, I will definitely…” Su Che said a few vows with a smile.
In the Immortal Prison, Lao He knew best that their master was someone who kept his promises; once a vow was made, it would surely be fulfilled. So he asked, “Master, do you really intend to answer her three questions truthfully in two years?”
“Yes,” Su Che replied in his heart. “Didn’t she just say she already believes I’m the person she’s looking for? I guess no matter how much I try to deceive her, she won’t believe me. In that case, it’s better to use those three questions to secure my escape today. At least I can get rich first, and if I really end up having a falling out with her in the future, I’ll have some means to protect myself.”
Lao He nodded and replied, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. If she wants to know about the Mi Xian Order’s flag, just tell her. Anyway, the Mi Xian Realm is most likely nothing good. It’s not bad that someone is willing to take on this huge trouble for you.”
“That’s what I think too,” Su Che agreed in his heart. “For me, aside from the Immortal Prison, everything else can be lost—no big problem.”
At this moment, after listening quietly to Su Che finish his vows, Tianyin’s tone softened as she said gently, “It’s not that I want to force you to swear, but you’re too cunning and despicable. If you don’t swear, I won’t trust you.”
“Senior Sister, aside from you, no one else in the world has ever called me cunning or despicable,” Su Che replied with a smile. “I guess you’re just overthinking it.”
“Just wait and see.”
Tianyin gave him a cold glance, too lazy to waste more words on him.
“The phrase ‘just wait and see’ surely implies two things: first, waiting for him to answer her three questions truthfully in two years; second, telling Su Che to wait patiently for her to figure out how to save him next.”
Su Che nodded slightly, patiently waiting for a miracle to happen.
Tianyin shifted her gaze and sent a message to the leader of Wuji Sect, saying, “Senior Brother Leader, Wuji Sect must not snatch the wealth from Tian Yu’s hands.”
“Oh?”
The leader of Wuji Sect was still negotiating terms back and forth with the old monster from Hukou. Hearing Tianyin’s message, he was momentarily stunned and quickly replied, “Junior Sister Tianyin, why is that?”
“I have a special agreement with him. During this time, his interests must not be harmed. I’ve sent Ying to help him escape and hide in the Wind and Thunder Desolate Land.”
Tianyin’s tone and attitude in her conversation with the leader of Wuji Sect were quite firm: “This matter is of great importance. I hope Senior Brother Leader will cooperate with me.”

The Patriarch of Wuji hesitated for barely a moment before replying immediately, “Since it’s your wish, sister, then there’s no problem at all. I already have a plan in mind. Please rest assured, sister.”
“Thank you, elder brother,” Tianyin replied softly.
“You’re welcome, sister.”
To be precise, the Patriarch of Wuji’s tone didn’t sound like that of someone speaking to a junior sister; rather, it carried the air of an elder in the sect.
Only the four Yuan Ying ancestors within the Wuji Sect knew Tianyin’s true identity, and this was the sect’s top-secret matter.
A short while later, Tianyin received a message from the Patriarch: “Sister Tianyin, I’ve taken care of everything.”
“Okay, thank you, elder brother.”
After thanking him, Tianyin turned to Su Che and said, “Activate the barrier and let me in.”
“You want to come in?” Su Che was instantly stunned.
“Are you not trusting me?” Tianyin countered.
“How could I? I just didn’t expect my senior sister to be willing to take such a risk and act as my hostage,” Su Che clearly misunderstood, thinking that Tianyin intended to stage a hostage situation to use her to force the Wuji Sect to resolve this crisis for her.
If that were the case, it would indeed be quite touching…
“Don’t dream!” Tianyin snapped softly. “Stop talking nonsense and hurry up.”
Su Che quickly gave a few instructions to True Man Huaguang, then said to Tianyin, “Senior sister, come over.”
Whoosh!
Tianyin transformed into a streak of lightning and rushed toward the wealthy man hundreds of feet away.
“Tianyin!”
The Old Monster of Hukou, the Patriarch of Taixu, and the others recognized Tianyin from the Wuji Sect. They were all shocked but too late to react.
Not only were they astonished, but even Su Che, who had been prepared, was amazed: “So fast!”
Tianyin’s speed was unbelievably fast, as if teleporting, covering hundreds of feet in an instant. With a single movement, she reached the wealthy man.
In a flash, without any obstruction, she passed through the man’s defensive barrier and appeared beside Su Che.
“Is my senior sister still well?” Su Che asked foolishly.
Haven’t I asked that question just now…?
Tianyin wanted to punch him hard in the face, but she held back and said softly, “Let’s go.”
“Go!”
Su Che shouted.
Whoosh!
The wealthy man soared into the air.
“What does the Wuji Sect mean by this?” The Old Monster of Hukou’s expression changed drastically as he let out a thunderous roar.
In the distance, the Patriarch of Taixu, the Leader of the Illusion Demon Sect, and the Leader of the Blood Sacred Sect also wondered the same thing.

“I’m sorry, Daoist Huqiu,” said the Master of Wuji, bowing deeply. “The Tianxuan Sect and Wuji Sect share the same roots; Tianyu is also my junior. I cannot seize his magical treasures and must find a way to help him out of this predicament.”
The old monster from Huqiu was so enraged that his hair stood on end. Pointing at the Master of Wuji, he shouted, “If you had such plans, why not say so earlier? Was it necessary to trick me?”
“Daoist Huqiu, there are other reasons behind this. Please forgive me,” the Master of Wuji bowed again.
Wuji Sect and the Manli Tribe were neighbors, and the Master of Wuji and the old monster from Huqiu had a good personal relationship. It could be said that no matter the outcome of this battle over the treasures, once it was over, it would be over, and it was unlikely to affect the basic relationship between the two factions.
“You…”
The old monster from Huqiu glared fiercely but could do nothing but shout at his subordinates, “Chase them! Stop them!”
The Master of Wuji also gave an order. In fact, he had already made various arrangements secretly through telepathy.
Whoosh!
Hundreds of cultivators from Wuji Sect rushed forward and immediately intercepted all the demonic cultivators from the Manli Tribe.
Swish, swish, swish…
They could stop those at the Golden Core stage, but not those at the Nascent Soul stage. The four ancient demons from the Manli Tribe had already flown thousands of feet away.
The three Nascent Soul elders from Wuji Sect must have chased after them as well.
Ten miles away, at great heights, the Master of Taixu said softly, “No matter what tactics Wuji Sect is using, our chance has come again. Let’s chase after them.”
Swish, swish, swish…
The eight Nascent Soul elders from the chaotic faction also chased after them.
The flying speed of the Nascent Soul elders was still much faster than that of the giants, and it seemed they were getting closer with each pursuit. When Su Che saw that the three elders from Wuji Sect were actually blocking the four great demons from the Manli Tribe, he knew that Tianyin must have interceded on his behalf, which is why the Master of Wuji decided to help him.
Although amazed at how much influence Tianyin had within Wuji Sect, Su Che still said sincerely, “Sister, thank you so much.”
Tianyin nodded gently and said softly, “The situation remains grim. As you can see, the three brothers I sent can only hold off the demonic cultivators from the Manli Tribe. We’ll have to deal with those eight people led by the Master of Taixu.”
By then, the eight people from Taixu, Fantasy Demon, and the Holy Sect Leader had already closed the distance to thousands of feet.
“I really have no other options,” Su Che said, spreading his hands. “I was trapped by those eight earlier and couldn’t escape. Out of desperation, I brought Wuji Sect and the Manli Tribe here.”
“Driving tigers to devour wolves,” Tianyin nodded. “Your strategy is quite clever.”

“A last resort; I’m truly ashamed!”
Su Che sat back down in his chair, adopting an indifferent attitude, while still pretending to be polite: “Senior sister, I really trouble you.”
