The Secret of Ascension
Shi Yue had an excellent reputation. Even during wartime, the Immortal Herb Merchant Alliance continued making deliveries, never cheating its customers.
However, he wouldn't contact the True Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix Clans himself. He would wait for them to contact him; the difference in meaning was significant.
Xiaoyaozi nodded. "That's true. Let them contact you!"
"Let's take care of business first."
Shi Yue flicked his sleeve, and True Lord Tian Kui's Nascent Soul flew out, hovering in midair.
True Lord Tian Kui looked dejected. She had refused to submit to Shi Yue, but in the end, even her Nascent Soul had fallen into his hands, leaving her a prisoner.
"Fairy Lin, are you still unwilling to give in at this point?" Shi Yue asked impassively.
True Lord Tian Kui gave a bitter laugh. "Is it not too late for me to submit now?"
"Of course not. I said that as long as you're willing to switch sides, we can work something out," Shi Yue promised.
Only True Lord Tian Kui could control the Immortal Puppet. The Immortal Puppet needed Immortal Origin Stones to unleash its full power, and Shi Yue had no idea what secret art she used to control it.
If True Lord Tian Kui was willing to cooperate, Shi Yue could spare her life.
True Lord Tian Kui sighed. "Thank you for trusting me, Fellow Daoist Shi. Ask me whatever you want to know!"
Shi Yue wasn't sparing her out of mercy; she had value to him, and True Lord Tian Kui knew it perfectly well.
Satisfied with her attitude, Shi Yue asked, "Why did Yang Xiaoyao betray us? When did he join the Devil Race? And when did you learn who he really was?"
