Gu Xijiu sneered. "I believe this is fated. G.o.d sent me down here to expose your true face, and to save the people of Shura World." She could not continue because Yun Yanli had sealed her acupuncture point. The man sighed. "Xijiu, although you are an immortal from the Upper Bound, you seem to have lost your mind after having it brainwashed by the Devil King! Poor thing… Sigh…"
When he was talking, Yun Yanli"s subordinates had scoured the village and turned the entire place inside out. They all came back and reported they could not find Di Fuyi.
Yun Yanli trusted his most loyal subordinates that he brought here with him. They would miss even miss a mouse, not to mention a human. The only place that they had not searched was the lake in front of them. He muttered, "Is he hiding in the lake?!"
Gu Xijiu closed her eyes and did not react.
The young palace master responded immediately, "Let me go down and see!"
Yun Yanli shook his head. "No, I will do it myself." Di Fuyi was too cunning. He was afraid that the young palace master would not recognize him if he used some sort of spell to conceal his ident.i.ty. He had to do it himself.
The young palace master stepped forward. "Master, will you hand her over to me?"
Yun Yanli shook his head. "No."
He looked at Gu Xijiu in his arms and smiled. "This lake is good. Let"s take a dip." He then brought her straight into the lake.
The young palace master was speechless. She was certainly disappointed by what had happened and could only clench her fists under her sleeves.
Although Gu Xijiu was very seriously injured, she was excellent in the water and had just been promoted to an immortal. This lake naturally could not hurt her. Yun Yanli held her waist the entire time so that she did not have any chance to escape.
Due to his power, Yun Yanli was able to walk around at the bottom of the lake. He cast his tracking spell, but it did not pick anything up. It appeared that Di Fuyi was not hiding at the bottom of the lake. But Di Fuyi was supposed to be together with Gu Xijiu! How could he not be?
Yun Yanli was slightly anxious. It was soundproof at the bottom of the lake, so he was naturally not afraid of Gu Xijiu screaming down below. He released her acupuncture point and asked, "Where is Di Fuyi?"
Gu Xijiu closed her eyes and did not speak. She ignored him.
"If you don"t tell me, I will punish your clansmen to death one by one until you open your mouth!"
This time, Gu Xijiu finally opened her mouth and said the three cold words, "Up to you."
Yun Yanli was stunned. "Don"t you care about them?"
Gu Xijiu sneered. "You should understand that they are not my clansmen. They were only my companions when I was in trouble. How good can our relations.h.i.+p be over such a short period? Do you think it worth me giving in to you?"
Yun Yanli remained silent.
Gu Xijiu continued to speak, "I have done enough in the past two years. I don"t owe them anything. If you want to kill them, just do it. You don"t have to tell me."
Yun Yanli looked at her for a long while. "You are not a cold-blooded person. Why do you have to act like you are? Do you think you can fool me?"
Gu Xijiu bit her lips and did not answer.
Yun Yanli smiled. "If you really don"t care about them, then I will order my people to kill all of them on the ground after I go to the sh.o.r.e! Anyway, I have told those subordinates that these people are demons from the devil world. No one will even think of keeping them alive."
Gu Xijiu closed her eyes. "Yun Yanli, I didn"t expect you to be so stupid!"
Yun Yanli remained silent as he gritted his teeth curiously. "Why do you say so?"
