Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Li Zhikang felt that the divination results were already very clear.

The matter could succeed, but it was not a good match, not worthy of him. What else could this relationship be?

However, put another way, for a man of the Divine General Dinghai's level, even the slight possibility of becoming his mistress would attract many young women to try and seduce him! After all, what if they managed to secure a permanent position?

Therefore, he didn't say much more, and simply followed Yan Yu and Ye Jun to the designated meeting place.

Accompanied by the middleman, Sun Zihao, the sisters Ye Qianru and Qian Qian had already arrived and were currently negotiating a lower appraisal fee with the other party.

The other party was adamant, not lowering their price, as there were only a few cultivators among common folk who understood Alchemy Dao. The sisters had previously backed out once, and in the end, still had to turn to our side, right?

Yan Yu and Ye Jun then arrived outside, allowing Li Zhikang to peer through the window to collect the necessary information for divination.

His Divination Skill was very convenient to perform and didn't require any costs. The only issue was that the results were somewhat vague.

For instance, when helping Ye Jun with her marriage prospects, it only gave a vague result of "can succeed, but not well-matched," but when would it succeed? How would it happen? The specific details were entirely absent.

Furthermore, this divination required some understanding of the subject. For example, if you asked him to determine if there were aliens in the "M78 Nebula," he mostly wouldn't be able to figure it out. Therefore, Sun Zihao and the others could only try to stall for time, letting Li Zhikang observe from outside as much as possible.

Li Zhikang, crouching at the corner of the wall, stood on tiptoes and peered sneakily through the window, something that felt rather sordid, like spying on a widow bathing.

Yan Yu and Ye Jun had activated their Invisibility Technique and were crouching near the front and back doors, ready to burst in and seize the other party at any moment.

After an unknown period, an impatient voice suddenly came from inside:

"If we can't agree, then let's not talk anymore! To avoid wasting time!"

The person made a move to leave, and Sun Zihao hurriedly tried to mediate and hold the other party back to continue negotiating, only to see the person quickly slip toward the door.

"Act now!" he immediately yelled.

Ye Jun was responsible for guarding the rear, cloaked and activating the Xuan Guang Ruler. Light blossomed instantaneously, falling and striking the person squarely on the head.

Well captured!

Yan Yu, on the opposite side, brightened and thought to himself that this girl using the Xuan Guang Ruler defensively all day wasn't entirely useless. At least, her accuracy in using the Magic Treasure to strike people could practically blow ten Xie Ruoxis away.

The person caught by the light flower, however, just smiled mysteriously and then suddenly exploded, turning into an extremely foul-smelling blood, with no trace of an intact body left.

"Found it!" Li Zhikang suddenly said, pointing, "That direction!"

Before his words had finished, Yan Yu had already risen on his Sword Control, flying in the direction pointed by the other.

Ye Jun was about to hurriedly follow when she heard Li Zhikang say,

"This trip is perilous, be very careful!"

Perilous? Ye Jun was startled.

Dangerous to fight a common cultivator?

But her expression quickly changed dramatically: If there was any danger, her Xuan Guang Ruler was even more needed to protect and guide!

Ye Jun gave her full effort to Sword Control, catching up quickly with Yan Yu who had gone ahead. She saw his sword light swirling momentarily before swiftly descending.

The direction pointed out by Li Zhikang was very vague, not even providing distance. If there were many nearby houses, it would definitely greatly increase the difficulty of the search.

Fortunately, the surrounding area was all fields, with only a lonely farmhouse visible. Yan Yu immediately landed in the courtyard, looking into the interior of the building.

Ye Jun followed closely, transmitting a message quickly:

"Be cautious of an ambush."

"Understood," Yan Yu responded.

He narrowed his eyes and looked around, then said,

"You reminded me too late."

Ye Jun was puzzled.

As soon as the words fell, they saw the scenery around them suddenly twist, as if a drop of water had fallen into paint, creating a large blur of diffused colors.

Ye Jun's face changed drastically: We've fallen into a trap!

"Humph." An elusive mocking voice came from nowhere, "The mighty Divine General Dinghai, to think you would be so courageous yet reckless, to step right into the trap I set."

"To seamlessly blend the trap with the surrounding environment, becoming one, the Magic Treasure indeed is quite impressive," Yan Yu calmly responded with his hands behind his back, speaking leisurely, "Does it have any other functions?"

"After my Magic Treasure refines you, you can ask King Yama in the Underworld about the specifics of your death yourself!" The other side burst out laughing.

Ye Jun quickly activated the Xuan Guang Ruler, dividing two beams of light to protect herself and Yan Yu, ready to resist the impending refinement. However, she heard him say,

"Don't waste your True Yuan, he's lying."

"You don't believe it?" the other party asked coldly.

"I really don't believe it," Yan Yu said with a smile, "If your Magic Treasure truly had the ability to refine us instantly, you could have killed me the moment I stepped into it. Otherwise, if I had a method to counter your Magic Treasure, how would you respond?"

"There is no method in this world that can break through my Red Dust through Ages map!" The voice of the other became high-pitched with agitation, "If you have one, then use it!"

"If you can, refine us!" Yan Yu retorted mockingly.

Ye Jun looked at Yan Yu and then looked around. She quickly decided to trust Yan Yu and stopped activating the Xuan Guang Ruler, conserving her True Yuan.

After a moment, the other party chuckled darkly again:

"I indeed can't refine you, but trapping you here for a decade or two is not a problem at all."
