After seeing the higher realm, Fang Xingjian was struck with realization. This world was not just a space that had been translocated from the planet where the Central Continent was.
“We’ve already brought you to the higher realm. Can you let us go now?”
Fang Xingjian did not reply, but he waved his hand. The three of them returned to their human form once again. Simultaneously, he also applied restrictions on them.
Zhao Hao’s countenance changed when he sensed that it was hard for him to mobilize the power of his martial will in his body. He asked outright, “What, are you going to go back on your words?”
“I want to look for Venerable Master Zhai Xing, but I can’t go and look for him directly. I still need you guys to help me,” Fang Xingjian said.
Venerable Master Zhai Xing was a tier nine Divine level expert after all. If he was fully bent on escaping or even heading to other parallel worlds, even Fang Xingjian was not 100% confident that he would be able to capture him.
It was also impossible for Fang Xingjian to leave behind a hidden threat—a tier nine Divine level expert—in his backyard before their plan of going against the demonic gods took place.
Therefore, he hoped to be able to get close to Venerable Master Zhai Xing secretly. It would be best if he could launch a sneak attack up close, taking away a large part of Venerable Master Zhai Xing’s powers at one go.
For this, he would require the trio’s help.
“As long as you can help me to get close to Venerable Master Zhai Xing, I’ll return your freedom,” Fang Xingjian said.
However, Huang Shan appeared enraged. “Are you toying with us? Earlier on, you said that you would let us go after finding the higher realm, but now you want us to help you get close to Venerable Master Zhai Xing? What kind of joke is this?”
Fang Xingjian’s cold gaze brushed past Huang Shan’s body, causing the latter to shiver uncontrollably. It was as if his entire body was releasing a strange chill.
“I’m not begging you. I’m threatening you.”
Hearing this, Huang Shan was slightly stunned. Streams of fury flashed past in his eyes, but he stopped retorting.
Tang Xian—who was next to Huang Shan—patted him on the shoulder, looked at Fang Xingjian, and said, “Alright, we know your requirement. But if you wish for us to help you, you can’t possibly be binding our hands and feet, right?”
Fang Xingjian nodded and snapped his fingers. The trio immediately felt their restraints disappear without a trace. However, at the next instant, an invisible power invaded their consciousness.
The reason why this power was said to be invisible was that despite the three of them being at tier eight of the Divine level, they were still unable to comprehend how this power was transmitted, what its attribute was, and how strong it was.
It was also because Fang Xingjian wanted them to sense it that they could feel a gush of power had been channeled into their consciousness.
Zhao Hao’s countenance changed slightly, and he asked, “What is this?”
Fang Xingjian replied, “If you guys can work well for me, this will be a gift. If you don’t, it will take your life.”
Although the three of them were enraged, they did not dare to say much since they were overwhelmed by his power.
“Alright, we’ll first probe for information and then think of what way would be more convenient.” With a move, Fang Xingjian’s body underwent a series of changes, and his appearance became different. He changed from his original appearance to that of a middle-aged man. His aura also changed to simulate how a tier seven Divine level expert influenced the wave in space-time.
Fang Xingjian’s voice continued to ring out in the trio’s mind, “Let’s go. We’ll head to the nearest sect first. Tang Xian and Huang Shan, you guys can see if you can get into contact with the people from the Repose Palace.”
