Chapter 289 (1/2)

It didn't feel like that long but ti stream, and suddenly three days had passed in the darkness that was the Baili fa this ti him he knew—as he could sense theed in conversation or tried to give hiy cultivators needed to eat and drink to sustain their bodies if their Qi levels had not reached a high enough realht, and he could be supported entirely on the heaven-and-earth essence

So apart frohtly bored, Xue Wei felt no disco his Qi and spiritual energy, alternating between the two He did not want to neglect one or the other, now that they were about equal

It was on the fourth day that the Baili family finally started to act In the silence of the di rather pleased that the Baili fa

Unfortunately, this quiet period would not last forever The elders in the Baili family had bickered about which route to take with Xue Wei, and in the end, the brutal and violent ument was about Xue Wei's personality He was not so, so coercion was the only way to go

The low thudding of steps echoed through the dungeon and Xue Wei, who had been cultivating, slowly opened his eyes as he heard theleam flashed past his pupils as he observed the hallway outside his cell

Not long after, an elderly man appeared in front of the cell door It was the same elder who had spoken up the time that Xue Wei had stood in front of all the other elders of the Baili family—the one that all the others respectfully listened to

“I am the Grand Elder of the Baili faive you one last chance,” he continued as he looked at Xue Wei with greedy eyes, like a poor ether with us, teach us and train us in your Qi techniques and any other valuable methods you have from your native continent, and you will be treated as an honorable guest If you stay stubborn like this, there will be no other chances after this, and ill have to begin with harsher methods to extract the secrets out of you”

“What's to say that I won't just tell you fake pill forive you flawed methods?” Xue Wei asked with a s the expression of the Elder harden and his eyes glisten with coldness

“You would have to treat us with sincerity,” the Elder said “And of course, ould have you take an oath of loyalty to trust you”

“You talk about sincerity and an oath of loyalty in the same sentence—that's quite an eyeopener about the Baili faet it I would rather you try your best to forcethe information than take an oath of loyalty There is no way I would ever swear another oath of loyalty”

“Don't forget this is the choice you rand elder said with a sneer on his face and his body tre one of the most respected creatures on the entire continent, but noas being looked down upon by a youngster This was a first for hiinally, Xue Wei had not needed to be captured by the Baili faether with his friends for a while like he was used to, but doing so would have been bringing with it quite some downsides

Usually, Xue Wei would have just run away and gone soet to the Demon Phoenix Continent as he had made a promise to Lan Xue Wei was the kind of person that, when he ive his life to keep it, and thus why he did not make a lot of promises

As a result, if they ran away, hoould he be capable of solving thethis unexplaineda lift to the next continent, and thus he had to stay at the acadeotten close to the Yuan and Gu families just to obtain materials for the Rainbow Pills and other resources that wouldwith Gu Bing'er and Yuan Bailong, he had become friends with them

If he ran away, it was likely that the Baili family would turn to them in an attempt to extract the secrets froht like this They still needed to prepare to strike if they wanted a chance of success

So in the end, to buy time for the Yuan and Gu families—and to ensure that he could later solve theabout, he had decided to allow himself to be captured Even if it meant that he would be subject to torture and other e of the techniques and methods he held, he would endure

Xue Wei hadto it no matter what the Baili fahtly curious as to the healing rate of the Azure Dragon race Could he regrow severed limbs like a salamander?

Of course, he would prefer to have his limbs remain firmly attached, but if it should happen, then he could not do otten so important It was true that experts who cultivated Qi would see the physical body as the most important treasure to torture However, this was Yan Dalu Even if you were physically crippled, you could still be an expert in spiritual energy, and thus when they worked, they would instead torture theXue Wei noticed when the elder left As he went, he esture to the people who had been stealthily surrounding the cell, and they stepped forward, all of the sinister expressions on their faces
