Chapter 762: Relying on the Tiger’s Might to Impose One’s Will

The Yin and Yang Duo merely followed from a distance of a thousand zhang, showing no signs of anger, let alone attempting to kill Su Che. Clearly, the couple was discussing their next move.
Their flying speed was far greater than Su Che’s, so they weren’t worried he would escape.
Seizing this opportunity, Lao He finally found a chance to subtly remind him, “Master, don’t you feel that after the hundredfold enhancement, you’ve become much more impulsive?”
“How could I not?” Su Che replied inwardly. “I’m still trying my best to control myself. Otherwise, I might even be tempted to pounce on them and tear out their hearts…”
“The side effects are quite strong,” Lao He said, showing his teeth.
“It’s nothing,” Su Che replied calmly. “It doesn’t affect my judgment. I still know what’s right and wrong. It’s just that my approach has changed slightly.”
“That’s good,” Lao He felt slightly relieved.
“Where can I find perfection?” Su Che smiled silently. “I’m already very satisfied with what I have.”
The mental communication between master and servant was extremely fast. Meanwhile, the couple’s telepathic communication was also swift. By now, they seemed to have made up their minds and moved closer to Su Che.
“Young man, we must admit you’re outstanding and special. But you can’t expect us to submit to you just because of that. That would be nothing but a joke…” The Yin Evil said kindly. “At the very least, you need to provide some solid evidence proving you truly have the ability to leave the Realm of Punishment.”
“It’s a gamble,” Su Che replied calmly. “If you’ve got the guts, go ahead and gamble. If not, forget it. By the time you see the evidence, I’ll have already left. By then, all you’ll have is regret.”
“But we don’t like bets with no chance of winning.” The Yin Evil still smiled, but together with the Yang Evil, they slowly advanced—clearly, they were about to attack Su Che. They probably intended to capture him alive and search his soul to figure out his origins.
As two late-stage Golden Immortals who worked in perfect harmony, it didn’t seem difficult for them to achieve this goal.
Unexpectedly, Su Che raised his head without any defense and shouted toward the sky, “Evil Emperor Immortal Lord, is this really fun? Doing such things—no matter how many lifetimes pass, I’ll never be able to produce a million pills. I really don’t understand what your plans are…”
The Yin and Yang Duo immediately stopped moving, completely stunned by the title “Evil Emperor Immortal Lord.”

This is the realm of the Evil Emperor’s punishment. Prisoners trapped here tremble at the mere mention of the Evil Emperor’s name. Who dares to call the Great Immortal’s name so loudly?
You’ve had enough, haven’t you?
I’ll turn you from a condemned prisoner into a dead corpse right away!
Yet this little guy dares to do just that—not only does he shout it out, but his tone and expression also seem quite casual, lacking any sense of respect. Still, after a long while, he remains unharmed.
At this point, the Yin and Yang Fiends were truly convinced: he definitely wasn’t a condemned prisoner!
Moreover, from Su Che’s words, the Yin and Yang Fiends could detect a hint of threat—as if he was preparing pills for the Evil Emperor the Great Immortal, in a quantity of one million. If he completed it, he could leave this place; if not, the Evil Emperor the Great Immortal would be upset.
After all, the Yin and Yang Fiends were also at the late stage of Golden Immortals, able to grasp more details—such as the fact that the relationship between this young man and the Evil Emperor the Great Immortal wasn’t one of unpaid service, but rather a fair deal…
“If that’s really the case, we’re in big trouble!”
The Yin Fiend exchanged a glance with her husband, a clear hint of fear flashing in her purple-green eyes. Delaying the Great Immortal’s tasks would surely mean death!
“Better to assume it’s true than assume it’s not. We can’t afford to take such a risk,” the Yang Fiend transmitted to her. “If it’s true, we’re doomed. We should leave right away!”
“It’s too late!” the Yin Fiend replied gravely. “If what he said is true, everything has already fallen under the Great Immortal’s notice… Now I finally understand why he called us fools the moment we met…”
The Yang Fiend’s expression grew even darker as he added, “He also said that whoever provokes him will suffer misfortune—he’s our nemesis.”
“It’s too late to realize now,” the Yin Fiend said with a faint bitter smile.
Su Che saw the changes in their expressions clearly and secretly smiled to himself: “I never engage in battles I’m not sure of winning. Knowing I can’t defeat you, why risk my life? Sometimes, ‘borrowing strength from a tiger’ isn’t necessarily a negative thing.”
This was precisely the strategy Su Che was using—borrowing strength from a tiger.
At that moment, at a high position outside the Realm of Punishment, several powerful figures were gathered. One of them said with a smile, “I have to admit, this little guy isn’t stupid at all.”
Another nodded indifferently and said to the third, “Evil Emperor, your methods are a bit excessive. Is it really necessary to treat him like this?”
The third, with a delicate voice, replied slowly, “It’s just for fun. I’m just a little jealous of his luck.”

A generation of immortal lords at the peak of their power actually jealous of a mere celestial immortal? Who would believe such a thing if spoken aloud?
The fourth person said, “What do you think his future potential is?”
The others shook their heads, saying it was impossible to predict.
“Sigh!”
The fourth person sighed deeply again, “I’m a bit jealous too…”
“So,” the delicate voice rang out once more, “take advantage of the chance while it’s still possible and mess with him to the fullest.”
“No joking.”
A fifth, more authoritative voice spoke gravely, “I’ve been worried all along—will Yu Huang Tian, the Witch God, and those others give this kid a chance to grow further?”
“Hard to say.”
The delicate voice replied slowly, “Among them, the one I find most unpredictable is the Witch God. Though he’s the least qualified immortal lord, the Witch Clan’s innate abilities are undeniable. Besides, he’s cunning and hard to fathom. To this day, I still can’t determine his true stance.”
“The Witch God, the Witch Clan…”
The other four fell silent, lost in thought…
On Su Che’s side, the Yin and Yang Fiends seemed completely subdued. They didn’t know whether to leave or stay, stuck there for now. But one thing was certain—they wouldn’t dare provoke Su Che again, even if given a hundred chances.
Sometimes, a clever little trick is indeed more effective than a bloody fight. Though a cultivator himself, Su Che still favored winning through wisdom, especially when outnumbered and outmatched—wisdom was all he could rely on.
“I’ll show you the way,” Su Che said casually.
“Young master, please guide us,” replied the Yin Fiend with a gentle smile.
“I want to refine pills in the valley below.”
Pointing downward, Su Che began spinning lies: “And I need a large number of Xuanxian prisoners as sacrifices. If they’re at the early Golden Immortal stage, that would be ideal. Mid-stage Golden Immortals? That’s beyond my needs… If you help me complete this pill-refining task, it might count as part of your merit. Decide as you see fit.”
With that, he descended vertically and randomly chose a desolate valley, setting up a Xuan formation to settle there.
Still at the early celestial immortal stage, he could at most enslave early Golden Immortals through his soul. Su Che merely hinted at his intentions; whether the Yin and Yang Fiends would understand was their problem.
In less than ten breaths, the Yin Fiend’s sweet voice came from the sky, “Don’t worry, young master. We’ll go capture the sacrifices you need for pill refinement right away.”
Whoosh!

The Yin and Yang Dual Fiends vanished without a trace; it’s unknown whether they will return…
