The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 801 - 443: Subjugation (Part 2)

Her cultivation wasn’t particularly strong, but relying on her poison skills, she had still managed to rule the Hidden Stream for hundreds of years peacefully. If it weren’t for Ning Xiaoxian and others arriving in the Bashe Forest, her position would still be secure, so how could she not feel resentment? However, Changtian just wanted to recruit her for Ning Xiaoxian’s use, because such a rare Poison Demon was the perfect candidate for carrying out covert missions.

Ning Xiaoxian squatted down and sincerely said to her: "If you are willing to work for me, there will be two major benefits."

Benefits? This silly little girl, is she even qualified to talk about benefits with me? Jiu Mo’s eyes showed a mocking expression, but she dared not speak. After enduring a whole day of punishment, her fear of Tu Jin had surpassed even that of Changtian.

Ning Xiaoxian understood this expression but ignored it: "First, you can survive and live well. If you do not surrender, you will have all your powers extracted by the God Demon Prison and even your physical body will be fed to the soil, leaving you with no burial place after death. You also know, even if we are generous enough to let you go, He Sect Leader will certainly not forgive you. Firstly, you are his defeated enemy, and he must constantly guard against you seeking revenge. Ha, moreover, he has a blood-deep hatred against you; the He Sect Leader’s sister died at your hands, and it took him hundreds of years to exact his revenge. I estimate that as soon as you leave us, given your current state, you will be dead by his hands in less than a day."

"Revenge?" Jiu Mo finally spoke, but her words were somewhat vague, "It’s just an excuse for him to take over the sect leadership. He claims to be avenging his sister but that reason is laughable. Hehe, do you really think that Immortal Crane, who pretends to be pure and immaculate, was merely his sister? It was his lover, his lover of the same mother!" Therefore, when she first saw Ning Xiaoxian, she despised the lively and elegant aura in her eyes, because it reminded her of Elder He’s sister.

Well now, Ning Xiaoxian was knocked for a loop by this shocking news of forbidden love, the He Sect Leader actually with his own sister.... But the people present didn’t seem surprised, both Changtian and Tu Jin’s expressions were indifferent, only Qiongqi lying at Changtian’s feet perked up its ears, clearly enjoying this kind of gossip as well.

Their minds are incredibly strong indeed.

She coughed lightly, subdued the soul of Bagua within her, and continued: "Second, I guarantee that not only can you survive, but you can also cross the Heavenly Tribulation."

She read Jiu Mo’s expression, seeing her eyes flicker, she realized she was a bit moved.

Among the original two sect leaders of Hidden Stream, Langya had already successfully crossed the tribulation and become an Immortal, how could Jiu Mo not be envious and resentful? But as a Poison Phoenix, the more powerful a demon’s innate talent, the harder it is to cross the tribulation. So even after Langya’s success, she had yet to act due to the low success rate. Ning Xiaoxian was correct; if Lord Divine Monarch were willing to help, although he couldn’t withstand the Heavenly Tribulation for her, granting some extraordinary magic artifacts or advising some cultivation techniques could indeed greatly increase the chances of success.

Thus, Ning Xiaoxian struck while the iron was hot: "If you surrender and take the Blood Oath, I will have the Divine Monarch assist you in crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, I will keep my promise!"

Jiu Mo looked down and remained silent.

"Third, I guarantee that Qi Zai will treat Qingluan well and let her have a good life."

Jiu Mo suddenly laughed: "Qingluan? She is just my subordinate, you are making conditions based on her well-being?"

"Is she really just your subordinate?" Ning Xiaoxian enunciated each word, "You know well that you treat her differently. Since she joined Hidden Stream, you’ve had her handle all matters, big and small, showing more trust in her than anyone else. For so many years, have you ever truly punished her for anything? Compared to your harshness towards others, even He Sect Leader noticed this and privately investigated for a long time, only to find that Qingluan is actually your own niece."

The Poison Phoenix is not a distinct demon species, but an extremely rare variant within the Luan Feng family, just like the occasional birth of a White Bird like Qi Zai in the fiery red Chongming Bird family.

Jiu Mo stopped smiling, swallowing hard.

"Initially, if we hadn’t interfered, He Sect Leader planned to use Qingluan against you. As a Great Demon, it’s always difficult to reproduce, and for so many years, you’ve treated her as your daughter. If Qingluan were to meet a misfortune, wouldn’t it grieve your heart? If you were to die here, die in the God Demon Prison, would you not worry about Qingluan’s future before dying?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Jiu Mo’s expression finally changed slightly, and she whispered: "I see that Chongming Bird treats her well."

"Oh, are you just fooling yourself?" Ning Xiaoxian shook her head and said, "You’ve been with countless men, surely you know that a man’s love can be a fleeting fire, how can you be sure Qi Zai’s feelings for her are deep and sincere? Without strong maternal support, even the most delightful Banshee will face abandonment one day. Qingluan is no different."

Her speech was fervent, almost moving herself, but she felt an ill will from beside her. Turning her head, she saw Changtian glaring at her, his golden eyes filled with swirling light.

She didn’t dare to look too much, twisting her head to ask Jiu Mo: "Staying with us benefits you and doesn’t harm you. Moreover, the most crucial point—don’t forget, since we were able to bring you down from the sect leader position, who’s to say we can’t elevate you again in the future. Life or death, fortune or ruin, it’s all between the Divine Monarch’s thoughts. I honestly don’t understand what you’re hesitating about!"

Perhaps it was this last statement that truly moved Jiu Mo. She furrowed her brow, then after a long pause, finally sighed: "Fine, I surrender." Resolutely taking the Blood Dagger that Changtian tossed, she swore a poison oath without any reservation, and then stabbed it into her own prominent bosom. (To be continued.
