Then, the woman in blue said coldly, "I have no interest in you. Leave now, or you'll only be courting death!"

Bai Wu'an hadn't used his full strength in the previous move. After a brief exchange, he felt that although the woman's spiritual energy fluctuations were powerful and intense, her actual strength in a direct confrontation wasn't particularly formidable.

He immediately sneered and said, "You nobody, how dare you spout such nonsense in front of me, Bai Wu'an? Who lives and who dies is still uncertain!"

"Witch, either leave the person here, or leave your life behind!"

He shouted loudly and leaped forward again, the sword in his hand flashing with spiritual energy, ready to slash at the blue-clad woman's neck once more!

"Seek death!"

The woman in blue cursed under her breath, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her beautiful eyes: "Someone like you is just a little brat in the outer heavens, yet you dare to fight me!"

Instead of seeking a quick retreat, she suddenly leaped and flipped, flicking her sleeve, from which four swords flashed out!

A sword, an axe, and a hammer—four weapons hovered beside her, then each charged toward Bai Wu'an!

Trapped inside the small sphere, Yun Chu'an had been keeping a close eye on the battle. Seeing the four weapons suddenly unleashed by the woman in blue, a glint flashed in his eyes.

The familiar tactics, the simultaneous use of multiple weapons, were exactly the same as those of the woman in red from before.

What is the relationship between them?

They were from the same school?

still is……

He was unaware that, in the next moment, the battle situation had undergone a dramatic reversal!

The four weapons advanced in unison, immediately forming an encirclement. Each strike was powerful and heavy, and Bai Wu'an could not ignore them, much less block them with his own physique and magical artifacts.

Caught off guard, he could only defend himself with his sword, fighting and retreating.

A bead of cold sweat began to trickle down his forehead; he hadn't expected the woman in blue to launch such a fierce attack.

He had no choice but to retreat in a sorry state, retreating again and again. He felt that he would surely lose if he continued to fight like this, so he hurriedly burned his spiritual power, activated his protective magic treasures, roared and charged forward, thrusting his long sword at the blue-clad woman's chest, trying to find a sliver of hope in the encirclement and turn defeat into victory.

However, the next moment, the woman in blue twitched her sleeve, and a huge round shield suddenly appeared, lying across her chest.

The next instant, the thrusting sword collided with the blue-clad woman's shield—

clang--

A piercing metallic clang rang out, and Bai Wu'an suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his hand. His expression contorted as he saw that the tip of his sword was showing signs of cracking.

And the opponent's shield appeared to be completely unharmed!

In an instant, Bai Wu'an's expression changed drastically!

How can this be?

He himself was already one of the strongest experts in the Nascent Soul stage. While his opponent was equally powerful, he was clearly still bound by the limitations of the Nascent Soul stage.

How could she possibly crush me so completely!

Bai Wu'an couldn't believe it. Even with the irrefutable facts before him, he had no choice but to believe them.

Ahead, the woman in blue, her pretty face frosty, snorted coldly and flicked her sleeves again, sending four weapons sweeping in from behind, all aimed at Bai Wu'an!

At this moment, Bai Wu'an had exhausted his techniques and had no room for further variation. He hastily dodged to react, but his body was ultimately a little too slow. He managed to deflect the sword's edge and dodge the blade, but the battle axe and giant hammer behind him struck his body one after the other!

"Well--!"

The giant hammer crushed his sternum, and the battle axe nearly severed his thigh. Blood, typical of a Nascent Soul cultivator, flowed down, and in an instant, he was critically injured.

If it weren't for the many life-saving magical treasures he carried, his body would probably be torn to pieces by now!

Instantly, Bai Wu'an's expression changed drastically. A sense of impending death crept into his heart, making him lose all desire to fight the woman in front of him.

He leaped backward, creating distance, even burning his life essence, just to get away from her as quickly as possible.

The woman in blue had no intention of pursuing them. She also knew that many Nascent Soul experts were in the area, and sensing the unusual battle fluctuations, they would surely attack as soon as possible.

In her recent duel with Bai Wu'an, she was actually gambling, hoping for a swift victory.

Fortunately, she won her gamble, and now it's time to enjoy the fruits of her victory.

Without hesitation, holding Yun Chu'an, whom she had imprisoned, she turned and sped away. Soon she arrived at the edge of the sky, at the barrier that marked the boundary of the world, opened it, and passed through the barrier.

Thus, Yun Chu'an, imprisoned by her, arrived in a completely new world.

This was his first time leaving the Central Plains and venturing into another world. Even though he was imprisoned in the small sphere, he could still observe his surroundings with his naked eyes.

Looking out, all he could see was a vast sea, with hardly any islands in sight, a stark contrast to the lush green mountains and clear waters of the Central Plains.

Even though he couldn't perceive it personally, he could sense the terrifying storm raging high in the sky just by observing the direction of the clouds with his naked eye. Clearly, the weather changes over the ocean were far more dramatic than those over land.

Looking down at the azure ocean, Yun Chu'an couldn't help but wonder: Have we arrived at the Western Sea?

After all, judging from the direction the woman in blue flew and the time it took her to travel, she was most likely to have gone to the Western Sea, which was the closest to their location at the time.

He didn't know, but being skilled and daring, he simply remained still and let the guy lead him forward. Soon they arrived at the center of a small island.

In the center of the island stands a metal prison, which appears to be the place where the woman in blue tortures her prisoners, or perhaps her own lair.

She carried Yun Chuan inside until they reached a metal chair. There, she released him from his restraints and placed him on the chair. With a single word, she summoned several iron chains, binding him to the chair so he could not move.

After doing all this, she clapped her hands, her face cold, and said in a deep voice, "You'd better cooperate and answer whatever I ask, or I'll make you suffer the pain of being struck by a thousand lightning bolts!"

Her threat sounded menacing and evil, yet Yun Chu'an's expression became subtle upon hearing it.

No, sister, are you using lightning magic against me?

You really don't know what I'm best at...

Chapter 809 The Blue-Clad Woman's Conditions

In an instant, Yun Chu'an had more guesses about the origins of this woman in blue.

She is probably from the Western Sea, and could not possibly be from the Central Plains. After all, there are very few cultivators in the Central Plains who do not know the name of Yun Chu'an, and who do not know that his specialty is thunder magic.

With this thought in mind, he was no longer worried. Instead, he had an idea: to play around with this woman, deceive her, and lower her guard.

This way, it's easier to get information out of people.

Thinking this, he stiffened his neck, adopting a tough-guy demeanor: "I can't possibly tell you anything, uhhhhh—"

Before she could finish speaking, the woman in blue sneered and pointed her finger at the edge of the metal chair. Suddenly, a volcano of lightning appeared and pierced through Yun Chu'an's body.

Yun Chu'an felt his strength rapidly returning, and the sensation of electricity flowing through his body felt incredibly comfortable. But to numb the woman before him, he deliberately feigned great pain, his face contorted and his body trembling.

Seeing his pained expression, the woman in blue curled her lips into a mocking smile: "Being obedient now? You know how powerful you are now?"

"If you know what's good for you, cooperate properly. I'll ask you, where did you get that copper essence?"

When she questioned him so sternly, Yun Chu'an's expression shifted.

The essence of copper?

Was she sent by the Dragon King of the West Sea, or was she after Yan Yao? (The last part is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)

At this moment, he did not rule out the former possibility, but his intuition told him that the latter was more likely.

Thinking it all through, he gritted his teeth and tentatively said, "I discovered a deposit containing copper essence, so I personally led the research on how to refine it, working overtime to mine it... uh... uh—"

Before he could finish speaking, the electric current surged through his body again. Yun Chu'an had no choice but to stop talking and continue to feign excruciating pain.

The woman in blue, however, coldly and mercilessly exposed his lie: "You're lying! You're an amateur. With your mere Nascent Soul stage skills, you think you can extract copper essence of such purity?"

A tiny Nascent Soul stage?

What a boastful tone! Isn't her own strength only at the Nascent Soul stage?

Yun Chu'an remained expressionless, only his face maintained a pained expression. The woman in blue stopped the electric shocks and continued to stare at him: "Tell me, how did this happen?"

Yun Chu'an opened his mouth, feigning weakness, and whispered, "There is a powerful senior helping me with these things..."

The woman in blue's eyes lit up with anticipation, and she quickly asked, "What kind of person is that senior? What is her personality? What is her current cultivation level?"

Yun Chu'an's eyes darted around, guessing that she wanted to find out about Yan Yao. However, he was unwilling to tell her the truth directly and continued to stall for time: "The one who helped me with these things was a male tiger demon senior at the Nascent Soul stage..."

The woman in blue's expression changed, and she turned on the electricity again. After shocking him for a while, she said sternly, "Don't try to fool me with these things. Tell the truth!"

Yun Chu'an looked at her, feigning a wronged expression, and said, "Elder sister, everything I said is true..."

The woman in blue sneered, "First of all, the race and gender are both wrong. The one who helped you refine these copper essences was actually a human woman, wasn't she?"

Yun Chu'an's expression froze for a moment, then turned to one of horror: "You... how did you know?!"

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that the woman was looking for Yan Yao.

Now, all we need to know is why she's looking for Yan Yao...

The woman in blue sneered again and continued, "Of course I know. I know her far better than you do."

"Don't try to fool me. Answer honestly. What is the current situation of that woman? What is her cultivation level, strength, and mental state? Does she have any allies? Tell me everything clearly!"

Yun Chu'an maintained his shocked expression, his mind racing. After thinking rapidly for a while, he suddenly revealed a pained expression and said, "I...it's not that I don't want to say, it's that she won't let me say!"

The woman in blue's gaze sharpened slightly, her heart leaping with joy. This man, after all this fuss, was finally starting to say something useful: "Why didn't she let you talk? How did she threaten you? Tell me everything!"

Yun Chu'an immediately refused, saying, "I cannot say! If I do, I will be ground to dust and die without a burial place!"

The woman in blue said sternly, "If you don't talk, I can grind you to dust right now and leave you with no place to bury your body!"

Yun Chuan carefully observed her, his mind racing. He exhaled a puff of black smoke and then said in a deep voice, "Then do it. If I die today, it's just me. My family will still be protected by her and will be safe and sound."

"I, Yun Chu'an, would never betray a benefactor who has taken care of my family many times because of this threat!"

He spoke with righteous indignation, and the woman in blue suddenly widened her eyes, clenched her fists, and her chest heaved violently: "You—"

She was absolutely furious. She pressed her fingers on the chair, channeled her spiritual energy again, and began to shock people!

“Uh uh uh—!”

A terrifying electric current struck Yun Chu'an, who quickly bent over, feigning pain.

This electric shock was exceptionally strong and prolonged. The woman in blue recklessly consumed her spiritual energy, creating electric currents to torment Yun Chu'an. It was clear that she had completely lost her mind, doing all this simply to vent her negative emotions!

Of course, she only thought she was torturing Yun Chu'an. In reality, the latter absorbed the current without feeling much pressure.

On the contrary, his brain was working at lightning speed; while pretending to be clueless, he was still thinking about his next course of action.

The joy wasn't enough; we still needed to probe further...

He pondered. Ahead, the woman in blue had exhausted most of her spiritual power, tormenting Yun Chu'an for a while before finally calming down.

She let out a long breath, stared at Yun Chu'an, and asked sharply, "Name your terms."

Yun Chu'an was taken aback, then feigned ignorance: "What?"

"I said, name your terms!" the woman in blue said coldly, her mood at its worst. "What do you want in exchange for telling me about that woman's current situation?"

Yun Chu'an pretended to suddenly realize something, then put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "That senior has been incredibly kind to me, helping me countless times along the way. Am I really going to cooperate with someone who kidnapped me and is still tying me up and threatening me, and betray her?"

He began to state his conditions, to which the woman in blue gritted her teeth inwardly.

She observed Yun Chu'an's cultivation level again and confirmed that he was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and no matter what, he couldn't possibly turn the world upside down in her hands.

Thinking this, she stepped forward with a cold face, untied the chains and straps binding Yun Chu'an, and temporarily set him free: "Is this alright?"

As soon as she said it, she found it somewhat amusing. This level of concession probably wouldn't be enough to make the other party change their mind and cooperate with her.

Although she was arrogant, she wasn't stupid; she could figure out the intricacies of the situation with a little thought.

So she continued, "If you have any difficulties or needs, such as what threats that woman made to you or what benefits she gave you, you can tell me."

“She previously helped you refine a lot of ‘essence of copper’ ore, making you rich overnight, right? I can do that again in the future.”

Yun Chu'an let out a long breath, stretched his arms, and pretended to be quite relaxed, but in his mind he was still thinking and weighing the probabilities of each possible outcome.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "If I tell her, and she finds out someday, she will surely not forgive me. Even if I hide and she can't find me, she will still take her anger out on my family. So, I cannot tell her."

In her desperation, the woman in blue blurted out, "Don't worry, once I know the details of her situation, I will be able to seize the initiative. She will be the one who dies, while I will become stronger and more omnipotent than her, and be able to give you better protection."

“Even when my abilities surpass hers, you won’t need to master any special, rich copper mines that produce ‘essence of copper.’ I can extract these essences from even the poorest copper mines.”

She gazed seductively into his eyes: "What do you intend to do?"

Chapter 810 I Can Trust You Too

Yun Chu'an's pupils contracted slightly: "You want to kill her?"

The woman in blue suddenly paused, realizing she had misspoke and had no way to make amends. She could only bite the bullet and continue, "What, you and she are very close, and you can't bear to see her die?"

Yun Chu'an's mind raced, his expression grim, and he began to fabricate a story: "Humans aren't plants or trees, how can they be without feelings? Although she was quite impatient and used to beat and scold me frequently in my younger days, she was truly kind when she was close to me..."

He tried hard to recall the personality traits the woman in red had previously displayed, realizing that the person and the woman before him must have a tremendous connection. So, based on the woman in red, he began to embellish and fill in the gaps: "Therefore, I cannot..."
