Chapter 269: Coercion
At this moment, Wu Laoda regretted his earlier careless words. However, now that someone had come to confront him, he had to accept his fate.
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Laoda nervously asked,
“Do you wish to know the whereabouts of the He Dao Sect disciple who escaped from the hands of the Heaven Demon Sect elder?”
As Ji Yang’s cold gaze turned toward him, Wu Laoda dared not keep him in suspense any longer and immediately said,
“I am eighty percent sure that this person is indeed the genius of the He Dao Sect, who has most likely escaped into Heaven Demon City. If you believe me, I am willing to help you find this person!"
“What I mentioned earlier at the inn was simply some brief information; this child’s talent is not solely limited to the spiritual grains. Do you know why?”
After saying this, Wu Laoda slapped himself, having been accustomed to withholding information and not managing to change his habit on the spot.
“This child is a genius of the He Dao Sect, reportedly possessing the rare Talent Jealousy, and when he joined the sect, he was even taken under the wing of the He Dao Sect at Jingtan Peak!”
With that, Wu Laoda observed Ji Yang’s expression.
If this person hadn’t even heard of Jingtan Peak, any further information would not hold much value.
Seeing Ji Yang’s eyes shift slightly, it was clear he understood the significance, prompting Wu Laoda to continue,
“If we capture this person, we can not only learn the cultivation methods for the He Hua spiritual grains from him, but whether we return him to the He Dao Sect or hand him over to the Heaven Demon Sect, we could receive considerable rewards!”
After saying this, Wu Laoda keenly watched Ji Yang’s reactions.
Not knowing the precise identity of the person in front of him, he spoke very generally, without leaning toward either side, even offering multiple options.
Thinking the young man would be intrigued, Wu Laoda was surprised when Ji Yang did not follow up but instead slowly spoke,
“You mentioned earlier that this person has Three Heads and Six Arms and has an unusual physique. Is this true?”
“Uh…”
Wu Laoda froze for a moment, never expecting the young man’s focus would be on this detail.
Faced with Ji Yang’s gaze, Wu Laoda suddenly felt unsure how to respond.
After hesitating briefly, he replied with a definite tone,
“Talent Jealousy does indeed have some unusual traits!”
“Haha! That’s quite reasonable!”
Ji Yang’s cold laughter sent a chill down Wu Laoda’s spine.
But what Ji Yang said next made Wu Laoda feel completely frozen.
“Do I look like someone who has Three Heads and Six Arms?”
Hearing this, Wu Laoda felt stunned, his shocked gaze turning to Ji Yang as he unconsciously swallowed.
He never imagined that the very target he had carelessly fabricated was standing right before him!
Recalling what he had just said, Wu Laoda wished he could slap himself hard.
Why did he have to say so much?
Now it was too late!
He had no chance of escaping!
This person is now wanted by the Heaven Demon Sect; how could he let someone like me, who knows the news, go?
Wu Laoda wanted to resist, but his body was so tightly restrained that he couldn’t move at all.
Helpless, Wu Laoda could only close his eyes and wait for death.
However, the expected death did not arrive. Instead, he heard Ji Yang’s lightly spoken words:
“If you help me with a few tasks, I can consider letting you go!”
Seeing a glimmer of hope to survive, Wu Laoda quickly opened his eyes and hurriedly replied,
“Don’t mention just a few tasks; I’ll help with dozens if needed! I will certainly handle them well!”
“Although my cultivation level isn’t high, I still have some abilities within Heaven Demon City. Just tell me what you need!”
Noticing Wu Laoda’s earnest demeanor, Ji Yang didn’t say much more. He tossed out a storage bag and slowly added,
“I want you to help me buy some Spiritual Plant Seeds and spiritual grains in Heaven Demon City!”
“The spiritual grains can be of any type; you don’t need to buy too many of each, but the Spiritual Plant Seeds must at least be high-level!”
Immediately, Wu Laoda patted his chest and said,
“Don’t worry; I’ll take care of it!”
He wasn’t sure about other matters, but this was right up his alley! He was known for being well-informed in Heaven Demon City!
Seeing Wu Laoda agree so readily, Ji Yang also smiled.
His initial intention was indeed to eliminate the person before him, but he had a new idea. Since Heaven Demon City was a large market, it surely had many things he needed, like the spiritual grains and high-level spiritual plants that the He Dao Sect didn’t have.
However, purchasing high-level spiritual plants here was unrealistic, since such plants were considered hard currency in the Cultivation World. Except for large sects that cultivated them, it was very hard to find elsewhere. Even if they were available, the stronger cultivators would likely snatch them up early.
So, Ji Yang decided to settle for seeds, which should be much easier to obtain.
As for top-tier spiritual plants, he didn’t expect to buy them with spiritual stones.
Over here, Wu Laoda felt the restraints on his body slowly lifting, but he still couldn’t escape. Although he had promised to help, he was now contemplating what to do next.
Should he really follow Ji Yang’s instructions? Or…?
Before Wu Laoda could think much more, he saw a pure white pill appear in Ji Yang’s hand!
“Take this!”
As the pill was handed over, Ji Yang’s decisive words sounded in his ear.
Wu Laoda showed some hesitation upon seeing this, but he understood that if he didn’t take this pill, his life would be in danger!
Between his life and being controlled, Wu Laoda chose the latter and swallowed the pill in one gulp.
As the pill entered his stomach, Wu Laoda felt a wave of pure spiritual energy surge through his body, even causing a slight enhancement in his internal power.
What strong medicinal power!
Wu Laoda’s expression turned grim. This pill was clearly not an ordinary one. While it seemed to enhance his cultivation level, its toxicity was surely greater than he imagined!
“This pill was refined by my Master!”
At this moment, Ji Yang casually remarked.
Upon hearing this, Wu Laoda’s face grew even darker.
He had certainly heard of Ji Yang’s Master.
He had just been thinking about seeking help from other cultivators to resolve the toxicity after leaving, but now that thought was dashed.
The pills refined by such skilled cultivators were likely difficult to undo even for fellow cultivators of the same level, let alone for him as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator!
“I believe you are a smart man!
If you handle this well, I certainly won’t treat you poorly. But if you don’t, hehehe!”
“Don’t worry, I will do my utmost!”
Wu Laoda quickly responded, then asked in confusion,
“When I have the items, how should I contact you?”
“No need for you to contact me. When the time comes, I will find you; you just need to get the task done as quickly as possible!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yang’s figure vanished from Wu Laoda’s sight.
