Chapter 1656: Chapter 716: Passionate or Ruthless

When Hong Mingyue came to cause trouble, inside the tent, Jin Mu and Xi Jiuye were sitting and discussing matters.

Regarding the noise and cries from Hong Mingyue outside, Xi Jiuye did not even flinch; he was like an ice sculpture.

Jin Mu heard the commotion outside and smiled awkwardly.

"Brother Xi, aren’t you going out to take a look?"

"Look at what?"

Xi Jiuye remained indifferent, as if the sounds outside had nothing at all to do with him.

Jin Mu was stern. Today, upon seeing Xi Jiuye injure Tang Lingbo for Hong Mingyue and conflict with the Tang family, he thought that Xi Jiuye at least had some affection for Hong Mingyue.

Yet, once he turned around, he was utterly indifferent.

This man is truly heartless.

Jin Mu then stopped mentioning it further. After discussing matters regarding the Tongtian Tribe with Xi Jiuye, he got up to bid farewell.

A Divine General of the Northern Territory Thirteen Riders walked in.

"Sir, everything has been executed as you instructed. Just as you expected, after Tang Lei took Tang Lingbo back, the two got into a dispute. Tang Lei ordered Tang Lingbo to be imprisoned and also angrily reprimanded Tang Tianqi. Tomorrow morning, he will seek Nian Wu Venerable to abolish Tang Lingbo’s cultivation. But, sir, why have someone monitoring the Tang family?"

Among the Northern Territory Thirteen Riders, one person secretly sneaked into the Tang family’s representative team.

During the dispute between Tang Lei and Tang Lingbo, he heard only a rough gist of the matter.

"Continue monitoring the Tang family, especially Tang Lei. Also, have someone bring Tang Tianqi over."

Xi Jiuye said calmly.

Unexpectedly, that boy Tang Lei can endure quite well. His fiancée suffered such serious injuries, yet he remains indifferent.

Since Gongsun Zhi informed Xi Jiuye that the Tang family possesses a fragment of the Jiu Provinces Cauldron, Xi Jiuye has been trying in various ways to find out about its whereabouts from the Tang family.

Unfortunately, not a single piece of information came out, which led Xi Jiuye to his actions today.

Rather than protecting Hong Mingyue, it was more like he used her to force the Tang family to reveal themselves.

It seems the Cauldron Piece will soon be uncovered.

Xi Jiuye pondered.

"Sir, the person has been brought back."

A Divine General swiftly walked in, carrying a big sack on his shoulder.

"Let go of me, who dares to capture me. Do you know who I am? I am Tang Tianqi from Outer Heaven’s Tang family."

Xi Jiuye nodded; the Northern Territory Thirteen Riders are always efficient.

The sack loosened, and Tang Tianqi rolled out from inside.

Earlier, Tang Tianqi secretly went to the Huangquan Team’s tent to ask Tang Tiansong to save Tang Lingbo.

Afterward, she did not dare to stay at the Huangquan Team, but she also did not want to return to the Tang family’s representative team. She wandered alone, not knowing she would end up in a secluded corner and have a sack thrown over her head, tying her back.

Tang Tianqi opened her eyes to see Xi Jiuye not far away.

Seeing Xi Jiuye, whose features were handsome like a divine being, Tang Tianqi was first pleased. She hurriedly stood up and eagerly grabbed Xi Jiuye’s hand.

"Brother Xi, it’s you. Are you here to tell me that you and Hong Mingyue are innocent? Actually, even if you two did have a relationship, I wouldn’t mind. I can serve you alongside Hong Mingyue, as long as you’re willing to marry me."

The abnormalities of Tang Lei and the serious injury of Tang Lingbo made Tang Tianqi understand many things overnight.

The Tang family does not care about female descendants like them. If she wants to survive and live better, she can only find a powerful husband.

Xi Jiuye is her final hope.

A woman in love is always foolish.

Looking at Tang Tianqi’s foolish and dimwitted appearance, instead of finding sympathy, Xi Jiuye was more impatient.

If there’s no result after constant questioning, then might as well go all out.

He coldly withdrew his arm from Tang Tianqi’s grip.

His palm held Tang Tianqi’s head, a surge of Divine Power entered her mind.

Tang Tianqi felt a cold feeling seep into her body.

Her gaze began to scatter, strands of Divine Sense were extracted by Xi Jiuye like peeling layers of silk from a cocoon.

"Divine Soul Searching Technique?"

Several members of the Northern Territory Thirteen Riders witnessed the scene in shock.

As the rare Heavenly Gifted Divine Body in the entire Divine Realm, besides his martial arts, Divine Sovereign Jiu Ye once acquired a Heavenly Gifted Divine Power—Divine Soul Searching Technique.

This technique can instantly grasp all the information buried deep in a person’s heart, from childhood to adulthood; it is the most effective information gathering method.

Earlier, in the Divine Realm battlefield, the Divine Sovereign used it to deal with war prisoners from enemy tribes.

While effective, there is a fatal result to this Divine Skill.

Once someone is subjected to the Divine Soul Searching Technique, their Divine Soul will be damaged.

In severe cases, they might die, and in lighter cases, they become witless.

Tang Tianqi was at least an admirer of the Divine Sovereign, yet he showed no mercy at all, such cruel intentions made even members of the Northern Territory Thirteen Riders feel apprehensive.

Aside from the Divine Consort, the Divine Sovereign had no patience for other women at all.

After undergoing the Divine Soul Searching, Tang Tianqi trembled as if convulsing, her gaze scattered, foaming at the mouth, and fainted.

"Find a barrack with many male members and throw her in at night."

Xi Jiuye wiped his hands.

"As you command."

The Divine General did not dare to delay and lifted Tang Tianqi to walk out.

Tang Tianqi was soon taken away.

Interior Cauldron Heaven?

The fragment in the Tang’s family hand can evidently form a Cave Heaven, it seems the saying that the Jiu Provinces Cauldron can refine the Outer Heaven is not unfounded.

Xi Jiuye’s desire for the Jiu Provinces Cauldron Fragments grew stronger.

"The Huangquan Team Captain should have several Cauldron Fragments."

The words of Gongsun Zhi, inadvertently, entered Xi Jiuye’s mind.

He recalled Ye Lingyue’s indifferent demeanor on Fengyun Platform.

Xi Jiuye’s face darkened.

The ungrateful woman dared to challenge his authority again and again.

The Jiu Provinces Cauldron is certainly his to claim.

Once he obtained the Tang family’s Cauldron Fragment and found the divine seal, should that woman remain unwilling to hand it over,

then he will take her back to the Northern Territory, kill that brat Di Shen—that indeed sounds like a good idea.

A strong desire for conquest filled Xi Jiuye’s heart.

He has enough patience to break her icy mask, to make her body and soul completely surrender to him.

Night slowly fell, no one knew that after dawn, there would be a huge disturbance erupting in the seemingly calm Jiu Provinces Main Camp.

The same night enveloped the Tongtian Tribe.

Two Demon Generals journeyed day and night and finally returned to the tribe.

They rushed to see Demon King Tongtian overnight.

"How did it go? Did you find the Senluo Ghost Fruit King?"

Demon King Tongtian was impatient.

"Your Highness, we fortunately fulfilled our mission. Here is the Senluo Ghost Fruit King."

The two Demon Generals brought out the box, inside which lay quietly a demon fruit with an ominous texture, colored in dark red.
