As Yao Yi blocked Luo Xiu, a large group of disciples from the Jade Blade Sect also rushed over, gathering behind him.

The disciples all looked at Luo Xiu with pity in their eyes.

"You Lower Realm Mortal! We gave you an easy way out, and you refused it!" a male disciple sneered.

A female disciple, full of contempt, added, "You're merely in the Void Refinement Realm. Do you really think you're somebody?"

"A Lower Realm Mortal is still a Lower Realm Mortal, an ignorant who's never seen the world. In the Upper Realm, cultivators at your level are a dime a dozen!"

"Kid, our Elder Yao has a terrible temper. I truly feel sorry for you now that you've angered him."

"Elder Yao, take this Lower Realm Mortal down quickly!"

"We lost so many people for the Thunder Paste! Now that we've found this mortal who can restrain the Thundering Bees, we can't let him get away!"

...

SLAP!

Just as the disciples of the Jade Blade Sect were fanning the flames, a crisp slap jolted them back to reality.

Luo Xiu had walked right up to Yao Yi and slapped him across the face.

The disciples were dumbfounded by the scene.

"Lower Realm Mortal... How dare you... How dare you strike Elder Yao!"

"Are you tired of living?!"

SLAP!

Amidst a disciple's furious roar, Luo Xiu delivered another backhanded slap to Yao Yi's other cheek.

Yao Yi's aged body trembled as he glared at Luo Xiu, his eyes practically spitting fire.

He never imagined this Lower Realm Mortal would dare to lay hands on him, let alone with a deeply humiliating slap!

He roared in fury, instantly unleashing the ferocious aura of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Unfazed, Luo Xiu sent another slap flying, instantly dispersing the explosive aura erupting from Yao Yi.

"What's the matter, old fool? You should feel honored I'm hitting you. Are you actually thinking of fighting back?"

Luo Ying's face filled with urgency as she suddenly grabbed Luo Xiu's arm.

"Young Master, you mustn't use your cultivation. Leave it to Ying'er."

Luo Xiu glanced at her, then at Kuang Pi. "Can you two handle this?"

Kuang Pi cracked his bear-like knuckles and chuckled. "Worry not, Worthy Brother. They're just a bunch of small fry. Big Brother will handle them in a jiffy!"

Yaya, dressed in her whale costume, suddenly stepped forward. "Perfect! This lady was looking to test her current strength. I'll use this bunch of small fry for a warm-up!"

Luo Xiu nodded, instructing, "You can fight, but don't kill anyone."

Hearing this, Luo Ying was somewhat surprised. "Young Master, since when were you so benevolent?"

"We need them to feed the bees later," Luo Xiu stated plainly.

Luo Ying gave a dry laugh. "Just pretend Ying'er never asked."

Seeing Luo Xiu and his companions still in the mood to chat, Yao Yi's rage became uncontrollable. At this point, Yu Qingfeng could no longer stand by and pretend. Seeing his sect's members so humiliated, how could he, as the Sect Master, endure it?

"A bunch of Lower Realm Mortals, courting death!" he bellowed.

A great battle was imminent.

Luo Xiu, however, was completely uninterested, confident in the strength of Luo Ying, Kuang Pi, and Yaya. The strongest among these Upper Realm small fry was Yu Qingfeng, but he was only at the Earth Immortal Realm, weaker than An Shanhai, whom they had killed previously.

Luo Xiu and Dou Dou dragged Yang Zhilu to the side. After checking her injuries, Luo Xiu performed acupuncture on her and then gave her an Elixir to swallow.

About a minute later, Yang Zhilu slowly awoke.

"Chen Shuisheng, look! The mean lady is awake!" Dou Dou's voice suddenly chirped.

At these words, Yang Zhilu's gaze sharpened, and she stared at Dou Dou.

"You're... Tian Jiao?"

Then her eyes shifted to Luo Xiu's face. When she saw his blue left eye, she instantly realized who stood before her.

"So, it was you, the young scholar, who saved..." Before she could finish, she froze.

"You're Luo Xiu?!" she exclaimed.

"We really are fated, it seems," Luo Xiu said. "You know both Chen Shuisheng and Luo Xiu."

Yang Zhilu's brow furrowed, her mood growing heavy. She was well aware of how terrifying Luo Xiu could be. He slaughtered the entire Ye Family with just one sword! She herself had clashed with him during the chase outside Lake Chu Tian.

"I never thought Chen Shuisheng was you."

Luo Xiu simply smiled without a word.

"Was it you who saved me just now?"

"Don't misunderstand," Luo Xiu replied. "You've merely fallen from the hands of one group of villains into the hands of another. You blinded one of my eyes, a debt I haven't forgotten."

Hearing this, a look of disdain crossed Yang Zhilu's face. She knew about Luo Xiu's current condition. Otherwise, "Chen Shuisheng" wouldn't have been so easily blinded by her, completely powerless in her grasp. She was also aware that Luo Xiu had been captured by the Holy Boi Religion and injected with a serum containing the Blood Ban Technique's formula. As a result, with the Blood Ban Technique coursing through him, Luo Xiu was unable to unleash his fearsome power. Even if he had a few experts by his side, they couldn't possibly match the powerhouses from the Upper Realm. Therefore, Yang Zhilu felt she had a chance to escape.

As her thoughts raced, Yang Zhilu suddenly let out a sigh. "Ah, this sister is heartbroken. I thought you saved me because you were captivated by my beauty, not because you wanted revenge."

Luo Xiu suddenly reached out and pinched her chin, gently lifting her beautiful face. "The last woman who was this provocative with me now calls me Master. From the looks of it, you're eager to be the second."

Murderous intent flashed in Yang Zhilu's eyes, and she tried to break free from his grip. To her shock, she found that no matter how much she struggled, her body felt completely devoid of strength.

"AHH—!"

Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream echoed from nearby.

Yang Zhilu's heart lurched. She whirled her head around, only to see that the powerhouses from the Upper Realm had all been beaten and were lying on the ground. Amidst them, the beautiful woman in the white dress, the large black bear, and the four-legged "little whale" stood like gods of war, completely unstoppable.

Luo Xiu gripped her chin, turning her face back toward him. "Where is Mu Xueyan?"

Yang Zhilu snorted coldly. "Why should I tell you?"

"You're not going to talk, are you?"

"She's already dead!" Yang Zhilu declared.

Hearing this, Luo Xiu's gaze darkened slightly, and he fell silent.

With a faint gleam in his left eye, the spatial entrance to the Land of Lawlessness quietly appeared.

"Hua Muyan."

"What are your orders, Master?"

A fragrant breeze drifted out as Hua Muyan emerged from the portal, her long, slender legs striding forward.

Luo Xiu pushed himself to his feet, bracing his hands on his knees. "Take her inside and train her," he said slowly. "Don't stop until she's as obedient as you."

"Yes, Master."

Yang Zhilu gritted her teeth. A powerful aura erupted from her body as she tried to flee. But at that very instant, two flower vines burst from the ground and wound tightly around her ankles. Like demonic tentacles, the vines snaked up her soft, fair calves, slowly creeping toward her thighs.

Luo Xiu's lips curled. He couldn't help but recall certain wicked scenes from those Sakura Country films he'd secretly watched. "I didn't realize you had this kind of hobby," he remarked.

Hua Muyan giggled. "But wasn't it Master's wish that I train her?"

"That's enough. Take her inside. The next time I see her, if she hasn't learned to be obedient, you will be the one punished."

Not daring to hesitate, Hua Muyan quickly dragged Yang Zhilu into the Land of Lawlessness.

Dou Dou suddenly tugged at the corner of Luo Xiu's shirt and tilted her small face up at him. "Chen Shuisheng, is Sister Xueyan really dead?"

Luo Xiu gently shook his head. "We can't be sure yet. We won't know for certain until Yang Zhilu tells the truth."

With that, he walked forward.

By this point, the fierce battle had already ended. Led by Yu Qingfeng and Yao Yi, all the members of the Jade Blade Sect were kneeling in two neat rows.

Luo Xiu stopped before them. His expression impassive, he swept his gaze over them and said slowly, "Two choices. Submit to me, or be beaten into submission."

...

「Meanwhile, in the Land of Lawlessness.」

Inside the Palace of the King of Law, Hua Muyan had Yang Zhilu bound with flower vines. Her fair hand slipped slowly inside Yang Zhilu's collar.

Yang Zhilu's body trembled. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're a woman. Why must you torment another woman?"

Hua Muyan laughed sweetly. "I'm sorry, but if I don't torment you, Master will torment me."

With several sharp rips, Hua Muyan tore Yang Zhilu's clothes to shreds.

"You can stay naked until you decide to submit to Master," she cooed. "Speaking of which, you have quite a nice figure, Little Sister. It's a pity Master doesn't even touch a stunning beauty like me, so I doubt he has any interest in your body. However... I think if I were to offer you as a reward to those Demon Beasts, they would be quite pleased. And when they're pleased, their work efficiency will certainly improve."

Yang Zhilu ground her teeth, her gaze ice-cold as she stared at Hua Muyan. "Is this all you're capable of?"
