Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

'When I get back, I'll make him pay dearly for this!'

Although she had yielded and resigned herself to her fate, her frustration with Yang Xiao, his refusal to bend to her will, had caused her hatred for him to swell. If she weren't completely at his mercy right now, she probably would have gone berserk.

Forcefully suppressing the hatred in her heart, Ao Yuhua showed no more signs of her charming behavior. She swiftly removed the Palace Robe Daoist Weapon she wore and used her Divine Power to manifest a long palace dress.

Then, she handed over the Storage Divine Artifact from her hand.

"Now, can I go?"

Looking at Yang Xiao and the others, Ao Yuhua's face was stern, devoid of any of its previous allure.

At this moment, she didn't want to stay here for a second longer.

Yang Xiao, however, took the Palace Robe Daoist Weapon and the Storage Divine Artifact with a grin. Inspecting them, he felt a surge of joy.

'As expected of a Storage Divine Artifact from a Tier Seven Divine Marquis powerhouse. The space inside is huge, and it's filled with so many items! Every single one is a treasure, at least at the Ultimate Grade Treasure Weapon level. It's just a shame there's so little Spirit Medicine and none of the Supreme Yang Spirit Fire I urgently need. It's not that useful to me, then.'

Yang Xiao took a quick inventory.

Although he was slightly disappointed by the lack of items he urgently needed,

still, with so many fine things, he could equip a Martial Cultivation Legion of over ten thousand soldiers. If he were to trade them, he could probably afford not just a Supreme Yang Spirit Fire, but even a Supreme Yang Divine Fire.

It was an absolutely massive fortune.

So, Yang Xiao was still quite pleased.

Therefore, the look he gave Ao Yuhua softened a little.

Just as he was about to tell her she could leave,

Elder Long's voice rang out. "Yang Xiao said to leave *all* your treasures behind. Are you sure you've handed everything over?"

As soon as he said this, the color drained from Ao Yuhua's face.

Yang Xiao frowned as well.

"Senior, I have indeed handed over every..."

Ao Yuhua began, after a moment's hesitation.

But Elder Long snorted coldly. "If you won't hand them over, then I shall take them myself."

With that, a giant dragon claw flipped over.

Instantly, a jade-colored stream of light flew out from Ao Yuhua's body, and along with it, a cluster of cyan flame. Seeing these two items,

Yang Xiao was overjoyed.

'An Upper-Grade Divine Soldier and a Supreme Yang Divine Fire?'

'This woman is truly cunning!'

Yang Xiao's expression darkened.

He never would have imagined that this demoness, Ao Yuhua, would still be trying to pull tricks at a time like this.

Not only was this Upper-Grade Divine Soldier worth more than half the treasures in the Storage Divine Artifact, but the Supreme Yang Divine Fire was also critically important for his own cultivation.

It was enough to allow his Heaven and Earth Origin Fire to break through to the next realm.

Yet this woman had hidden it away.

Naturally, Yang Xiao's expression was not pleasant.

His previously gentle expression changed in an instant.

Looking at Ao Yuhua, a coldness surged in his heart.

This made Ao Yuhua, who was already pale with fear, tremble inwardly.

She felt a pang of regret.

'Why did I try to hide those two things?'

But now, it was too late.

"Yang Xiao, what do you want to do with this woman?"

Elder Long's voice drifted over.

Yang Xiao gave a cold smile. "I've already said I wouldn't kill her, and I won't go back on my word. But since she's been so dishonest, she needs to be taught a proper lesson. As it happens, I can tell she possesses the Enchanting Demon Body. And for the Enchanting Demon Body, I have a Technique that can extract all of her Enchanting Demon Patterns. Consider it my way of repaying her for these 'gifts'."

The moment he said this,

Ao Yuhua's Heart Spirit was violently shaken.

She never imagined that Yang Xiao could see through to her constitution.

One must understand that on the entire Holy Celestial Continent, besides her father, the Holy Celestial Divine King, no one else knew she possessed such a constitution.

They only thought she had practiced some Evil Cultivation Method that led her to use the world's male cultivators as Furnace Cauldrons.

And now, Yang Xiao actually wanted to extract the Enchanting Demon Patterns from her body.

'Wouldn't this sever my Divine Foundation?'

This was the very root of her being!

"No, you can't do this to me! I am the daughter of the Holy Celestial Divine King! If you do this, I will never, ever let you get away with it!"

Ao Yuhua cried out in a panic.

Elder Long, however, gave a cold laugh. "The Enchanting Demon Body... to think it's the Enchanting Demon Body. A constitution that harms heaven and violates reason, and you still wish to possess it? Hmph. Yang Xiao, do as you please. This dragon would like to see just what she can do to not 'let us get away with it'!"

This time, Elder Long was truly enraged.

And from his words, Yang Xiao could tell that this Old Dragon had probably lived through the Ancient Era. Perhaps he had even crossed paths with that calamitous scourge of an Enchanting Demon Body from that chaotic time.

Otherwise,

he shouldn't have reacted so strongly to the revelation that this demoness possessed the Enchanting Demon Body.

Thinking this,

Yang Xiao couldn't help but glance at Elder Long.

But at this moment, Elder Long had transformed into his massive Divine Dragon form, so it was impossible to see his true expression.

However, seeing the fury spewing from those enormous eyes, Yang Xiao could tell that his guess was probably correct.

He nodded. "Rest assured, Elder Long. As long as you hold her still, I will extract every last one of these harmful Evil Patterns."

"Good!"

With that one, crisp word, the aura around Elder Long began to surge.

As the aura bore down on Ao Yuhua,

she felt as if countless majestic Divine Mountains were pressing down on her entire body. She couldn't even move a finger.

Her Divine Power was completely suppressed, unable to circulate at all.

Yang Xiao smiled faintly.

He raised his hand and pointed a finger at the woman.

Once these Enchanting Demon Patterns were extracted, this woman would be ruined.
