8: Threatening the Great Elder

“Excellent! Do you know the whereabouts of his illegitimate daughter then?”

“Master! She is in Tianyan City, protected by the Grand Elder’s confidants.”

“Head to Tianyan City immediately!”

“Yes!”

Soon, the three of them set off towards Tianyan City. Time waits for no one, and Qin Tian had to hurry. If the six affiliated Schools attacked and he hadn't yet taken control of the Heavenly Demon Sect, what awaited him wouldn't be death, but becoming a slave.

…

Tianyan City, Tong Residence.

At this moment, Tong Yan was sitting in her room, playing with a blood-red Gu worm.

She possessed a beauty that could topple nations, stood at about one-point-five meters tall, with a curvaceous figure—a typical loli with a childlike face and a well-developed body. Paired with the blood-red Gu worm in her hand, it seemed strangely out of place.

Tong Yan

“Young Miss, when will your Natal Gu worm evolve into a Golden Silkworm Gu worm?” her maid asked with a smile.

“Hmph, I told that Old Guy to find me a Soul-Forgetting Flower, and there’s been no news for so long. I don’t know where he’s gone to fool around again.”

“That damned Old Guy not only didn’t bring me Spirit Medicine, but he also sent two Golden Core Cultivators to monitor me, saying that the Heavenly Demon Sect is about to fall into chaos and not to let me go out!”

“Next time I see him, I’m definitely going to pull out his beard hair by hair,” Tong Yan said fiercely.

…

“Master, this is Grand Elder Tong Zhan’s private residence,” the Second Elder said, pointing to the courtyard ahead.

Looking at the high walls, grand courtyards, small bridges, and flowing water, one had to admit it was an extremely cozy residence, giving him a feeling of returning home.

“Except for the Grand Elder’s illegitimate daughter, kill everyone else!”

“Yes!”

The Second Elder’s spiritual energy surged, and with a wave of his hand, the Tong Residence’s main gate turned to dust.

“Who’s there!”

The two Protectors guarding Tong Yan both shouted, looking at the intruders.

“Second Elder!” they exclaimed in surprise.

“This is the Grand Elder’s private residence, Second Elder, what do you want to do?”

“Your lives!”

“Boom! Boom!”

The Second Elder circulated his spiritual energy, forming a giant spiritual energy palm that slammed heavily towards the two Protectors.

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

The two had almost no power to resist and were instantly eliminated.

Qin Tian secretly marveled at this sight. A Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator was indeed formidable! If he were at his peak, ten of him would not be a match for this Old Guy.

Qin Tian strode into the Tong Residence, mercilessly killing all the guards he encountered.

Passing by a rockery, he discovered a graceful figure and a rather beautiful maid.

She had a doll-like face, wore a snow-white long dress, stood at about one-point-five meters tall, with twin pigtails, and a curvaceous figure—a typical loli with a childlike face and a well-developed body.

Seeing the two Protectors and other guards all tragically dead, Tong Yan looked at Qin Tian, her heart slightly lost in thought, “What a handsome man.”

Snapping back to reality, she suppressed her unrealistic thoughts and asked angrily, “Did you kill them all?”

Qin Tian nodded, “More or less.”

“Why did you kill them?” Tong Yan was furious.

Although these people didn't let her go out and play, they were still sent by the Old Guy to protect her. How could she not be angry?

“Tie her up and make her contact the Grand Elder!”

“Yes.”

Soon, Wang Cheng and the Second Elder sealed Tong Yan’s cultivation, tied her to a chair, and fed her Five Poisons Powder.

But no matter how the Second Elder threatened her, the loli refused to cooperate.

After all, this was the Grand Elder's daughter, and they didn't dare use torture, otherwise, if the Grand Elder arrived, it would inevitably lead to a fight to the death.

“It seems I can only use my trump card!” Qin Tian revealed a smile.

Qin Tian walked up to the loli and slowly began, “You’re not afraid of death?”

Tong Yan remained silent, glaring at Qin Tian with a face full of resentment.

“Very good. I like people who aren't afraid of death the most. Dig out one of her eyes and cut off one of her ears.”

“Yes.”

Wang Cheng and the other man took out daggers and slowly walked towards Tong Yan.

Tong Yan’s delicate body trembled slightly, and she closed her eyes.

Seeing that this didn't scare her, Qin Tian was slightly surprised. This was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old loli; how could she have such courage?

“Cut off her ears first, then dig out her eyes.”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Tong Yan’s delicate body trembled! But she quickly showed a determined expression again.

“Ding! Hatred value from Tong Yan +100.”

So little?

Seeing her tremble for a moment and then regain her determined expression, he thought to himself, “There’s a chance.”

“If you still refuse to cooperate, I can only cut off your ears and then dig out your eyes. Think carefully!” Qin Tian said with a smile.

“If you are willing to cooperate, I promise you that I will not harm you or your father, and I will give you a great Opportunity!”

“How can I trust you?” Tong Yan said coldly.

“Do you have a choice?”

“If I directly send a message to the Grand Elder and ask him to come, do you think he will save you? Or will he just watch his daughter be tortured to death?”

“Alright, I hope you keep your word.”

“Don’t worry, this Seat has always kept his promises!”

Tong Yan took out a sound transmission stone and whispered a few words into it, “My father will be here soon. I hope you keep your promise, otherwise, I would rather die than let you have your way.”

Qin Tian nodded.

If it weren't for how cute this loli was, he would have long since used the Dao Heart Demon Seed to turn her into a Puppet. Why would he need to waste so much breath?

“Alright, you first cooperate with me in a play, so that the Grand Elder doesn't start yelling and fighting as soon as he arrives!”

Tong Yan nodded. Having boarded this pirate ship, she could only see it through to the end. If this person went back on his word afterward and wanted to kill the Old Guy, she could only atone with death.

…

A quarter of an hour later.

Tong Zhan rushed over. As soon as he arrived at the Tong Residence, he saw the bodies of the two Protectors. Upon closer inspection, all the other guards were also lying in pools of blood.

He immediately flew into a rage, his heart filled with anxiety.

“Ah!”

“Who dares to run wild in my residence? I’ll make you wish you were dead!”

He directly flew into the Tong Residence courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw Tong Yan’s face turn black, tied to a chair, with Wang Cheng holding a spiritual sword to her neck.

Seeing this, his eyes were bloodshot with rage.

“Wang Cheng, you’re courting death! How dare you run wild in my residence! Release Tong Yan quickly, and I’ll let you die a quick death.”

Wang Cheng acted as if he hadn't heard anything, showing no reaction.

Tong Zhan looked to the side and saw the Second Elder and Qin Tian leisurely sipping tea in a nearby tea pavilion.

The Second Elder laughed heartily, “Grand Elder, I didn’t expect you to have such a lovely daughter. You never introduced her before. As her Junior Martial Uncle, I could have given her a welcoming gift!”

“Second Elder Hai Dafu, you’re courting death!”

“Release Tong Yan quickly, and I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, it’s either your death or mine.”

“Hahahaha, I can release her, but she’s been poisoned by my Five Poisons Powder. If she doesn’t get the antidote within half an hour, she’ll perish!”

Tong Zhan’s eyes were bloodshot, and his veins bulged all over his body, on the verge of exploding. But looking at Tong Yan’s pained expression, he forcibly suppressed the urge to fight to the death.

Tong Yan was born to him and the woman he loved most. After Tong Yan was born, she passed away. Tong Yan was his lifeblood, more important than his own life.

“Second Elder Hai Dafu, what exactly do you want?”
