Weird Request

Although Han Fei was trapped at the moment, he showed no sign of panic. He quietly watched the Woman in Black Veil perform.

Han Fei: "Are you from Asura Hall? Even though you're wearing a black veil, your features are quite delicate. The corner of your mouth visible through the veil is also beautiful. You can't possibly have such a wicked heart, can you?"

The Woman in Black Veil said angrily: "Who says everyone from Asura Hall has a wicked heart? I am from Asura Hall, am I wicked?"

Han Fei retorted helplessly: "You're not wicked? Every move you make is trying to kill me. It seems you really are a demoness from Asura Hall."

The Woman in Black Veil pouted and raised her iron rod, preparing to give Han Fei a good beating.

She knew the Spirit Binding Lock cut off Spiritual Energy, so attacking with it was useless, but a blow from the iron rod to the flesh would cause extreme pain.

Han Fei looked at the iron rod in her hand and immediately knew what she intended to do.

"I say, demoness, is it really necessary? Did I offend you or provoke you? To use such a thick iron rod on me?"

The Woman in Black Veil carried the iron rod, pointing at Han Fei with her left finger, and said: "Try calling me a demoness one more time?"

"Demoness."

The Woman in Black Veil: "You..."

Han Fei said with an innocent expression: "Didn't you tell me to call you that? I've never met a woman who would make such a request."

The Woman in Black Veil, angered, made a gesture. The yellow light net contracted once more, pinning Han Fei entirely to the stone wall.

Then, she raised the iron rod with both hands and prepared to bring it down on Han Fei.

Han Fei called out to stop her: "Hey, I was just joking! You're actually going through with it?"

Hummm, golden light flowed all over his body. The golden light net that bound Han Fei was slowly pushed apart by the golden stream of light emanating from Han Fei's body.

Bang, the iron rod struck Han Fei's body, emitting a sound like metal clashing against metal. A powerful repulsive force from the iron rod pushed the Woman in Black Veil back.

The Woman in Black Veil was stunned for a moment. This blow revealed that Han Fei's physical body was formidable. She put down the iron rod and drew her purple long sword.

"Your physical body is formidable, is it? Let's see if your physical body can withstand the erosion of a top-grade Treasure Artifact."

Saying that, she immediately thrust her purple long sword towards Han Fei.

Han Fei sighed: "I originally wanted to play with you a bit longer, but you keep trying to kill me. This isn't going to work."

"Power of Heavenly Dao."

As he spoke, a small Tai Chi symbol lit up on Han Fei's forehead. Immediately, the principles and weaknesses of the entire Spirit Binding Lock fell into Han Fei's consciousness.

Spiritual Energy circulated according to the method of dispelling, and the golden light net around Han Fei's body gradually retracted. Finally, even the imprint on the Magic Treasure was erased by Han Fei.

"Because you were too disobedient, I'm confiscating the Magic Treasure."

Saying that, Han Fei put away the Spirit Binding Lock with a smile and said: "What other treasures do you have? Bring them all out."

At this point, the Woman in Black Veil truly began to doubt her life. A Magic Treasure could be deciphered like this, and her imprint even erased.

She had never seen such an ability before, let alone heard of it.

To verify if Han Fei could truly decipher Magic Treasures, the Woman in Black Veil took out a hexagonal box.

"You might have coincidentally known the principles and structure of the Spirit Binding Lock, which is why you could decipher it. Try deciphering this Soul Capturing Sail."

With that, the woman immediately threw the hexagonal box towards Han Fei.

Spiritual Energy spread from Han Fei's body, firmly protecting him. At the same time, he extended his left hand, using his palm to block the hexagonal box.

Swish, the hexagonal box shot out six beams of light upon touching Han Fei.

Han Fei didn't rush to decipher it. Instead, he first observed the function of this hexagonal Magic Treasure.

The woman whispered: "This is a one-time use Magic Treasure, the Soul Capturing Sail. It can directly attack a person's soul and consciousness. Let's see how you decipher this."

The Woman in Black Veil moved her hands rapidly, forming hand seals, causing the six beams of light that shot out to form six sail flags. At the same time, the sail flags emitted a burst of light, which shot directly towards Han Fei.

At this moment, Han Fei hadn't felt any danger until Hongjun's reminder from the Primordial Group.

Hongjun: "Group Leader, Pangu's Indestructible Golden Body is for physical defense; it cannot block soul attacks. After this strike, even if you don't die, you'll become an idiot. At the very least, you'll lose all your memories."

Han Fei was startled, but by then, it was too late to dodge. Within this formation of sail flags, Han Fei couldn't even use instant movement.

As the six beams of light were about to hit Han Fei's forehead, Hongjun had no choice but to use his Dao power to protect Han Fei's forehead.

Swish, after the six attacks, the light slowly dissipated. Han Fei stood in place, somewhat dazed, seemingly still immersed in the soul attack he had just experienced.

The one-time use Magic Treasure that the Woman in Black Veil had unleashed had now turned into a hexagonal box, resting quietly at Han Fei's feet. However, the power sealed within had completely vanished, and the hexagonal box had turned black and charred.

The Woman in Black Veil muttered in disbelief: "This, this is a high-grade Magic Treasure, and you, you actually took it head-on?"

Han Fei came back to his senses. Although he appeared calm on the surface, his palms were already covered in cold sweat.

If Hongjun hadn't intervened just now, his fate would have been grim, right?

He let out a slight breath and managed a faint smile: "Do you have any more tricks? If not, shall we explore inside together?"

At this point, Han Fei no longer dared to boast. He had witnessed the power of a high-grade Magic Treasure for the first time today, and its might was something he couldn't withstand in his current state.

Within the realm of high-grade Magic Treasures, all his abilities were useless. He couldn't use instant movement, his Spiritual Energy was sealed, and if not for the assistance of a group of Ancient Gods, he would have been nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.

Hongjun said irritably: "Group Leader, you are too reckless. How strong is your soul right now? You don't have any soul defense techniques. To withstand a high-grade Magic Treasure head-on would undoubtedly lead to your death and the destruction of your Dao."

The Woman in Black Veil, with an expression of disbelief, walked up to Han Fei and waved her fair hand in front of his eyes.

"Are... are you really okay?"

Han Fei shook his head. "We've arrived in this strange place together, so let's not fight amongst ourselves. Shall we explore it together?"

Although Han Fei's expression was sincere, the Woman in Black Veil clearly wasn't listening. She was still studying Han Fei, trying to determine if he was completely unharmed.

After a while, Han Fei spoke again, and only then did the Woman in Black Veil react.

"Ah? Okay... okay."

The Woman in Black Veil, having snapped back to reality, looked crestfallen.

Han Fei asked, "What's wrong?"

The Woman in Black Veil said with disappointment, "You don't know, top-grade Magic Treasures are extremely rare. Most top-grade Magic Treasures are single-use items, crafted by powerful cultivators. Each one is incredibly expensive, yet they're always in demand but never available."

"My Soul Capturing Sail is even called the best among top-grade Magic Treasures, but it was completely useless against you. I feel like I wasted my Spirit Stones."

Han Fei smiled. "Actually, your top-grade Magic Treasure is very powerful. It's just that I happen to have a mid-grade Magic Treasure that focuses on soul defense, which is why your Soul Capturing Sail didn't affect me. If it were someone else, the attack power of the Soul Capturing Sail would at least cause them to lose their memory, or even become an idiot or die."

The Woman in Black Veil asked doubtfully, "Really?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, the Woman in Black Veil finally relaxed. However, she was still very annoyed, as this top-grade Magic Treasure had cost her two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and she had just ruined it without even getting to use it properly.

Originally, she had planned to withdraw the Soul Capturing Sail as soon as Han Fei showed the slightest sign of pain. This way, she could preserve its power without harming Han Fei.

But Han Fei's expression had remained unchanged the entire time.

Since it was gone, the Woman in Black Veil stopped dwelling on it and followed Han Fei deeper inside. As they walked, she muttered, "What a jinx. Nothing good ever happens when I run into you."

Han Fei tilted his head slightly. "Did I beg you to follow me? If you hadn't stepped onto the stone platform, you wouldn't have been teleported here with me. Now, not only do I have to guard against unknown dangers, but I also have to keep an eye on you at all times."

The Woman in Black Veil snorted and said no more.

Outside, ever since Han Fei and the Woman in Black Veil had disappeared together, the Black Robe Maidservant and Fu Jiahao had been searching for a way to reopen the passage.

However, although the ground showed signs of being disturbed, the altar had vanished. No matter how much Fu Jiahao's men dug downwards, they couldn't find any trace of the altar.

This made Fu Jiahao a little worried, wondering if they had dug in the wrong place.

But regardless, Fu Jiahao was in the most urgent situation right now. The Black Robe Maidservant was right; she didn't belong to Asura Hall, but Fu Jiahao did. He was a formal member of Asura Hall. If something were to happen to the Woman in Black Veil, he would probably be skinned alive multiple times.

The Black Robe Maidservant stood atop a mountain peak, looking down at the busy experts of Asura Hall. She showed no intention of searching for the Woman in Black Veil. And no one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
