Hearing Zhou Xingdou's words, Youji felt a buzzing in her head.
Yes, even Zhou Xingdou, who promoted Lin Fan to the position of true disciple, was told by Lin Fan more than once that he wanted to kill him.
What about myself?
Looking at the stunned You Ji, Zhou Xingdou felt a little amused. He wondered if he had been given a brain-damaging aura in this life.
In her previous life, the cunning and shrewd You Ji actually believed that Lin Fan had betrayed her because of a few words she said.
Actually, it's not You Ji's fault. She only told Lin Fan about this. No one could have imagined that Zhou Xingdou was reborn and knew about her breakthrough point even earlier than You Ji.
But You Ji, having spent many years cultivating immortality, quickly suppressed her emotions and, gazing intently at Zhou Xingdou, said very seriously:
"Let me go, and I can join forces with you to deal with Lin Fan. I can also tell you about Lin Fan's background."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou almost burst out laughing. His handsome face contorted slightly, and without warning, he kicked You Ji.
Zhou Xingdou possesses immense brute strength; even a casual kick contains considerable power.
At this moment, You Ji's power was completely sealed by Yuan Tian. Even though her life essence had been sublimated in the Saint Realm, she could not withstand such brute force.
With a painful groan, Youji was thrown several meters away by the force, slamming solidly against the wall, causing the array attached to the palace to ripple like water.
Before Youji could recover, she felt a pressure on her head. When she came to her senses, she realized that Zhou Xingdou had already stepped on her head.
Zhou Xingdou's strange, silvery-white eyes flickered incessantly, revealing no emotion whatsoever. He looked down at You Ji with a disdainful gaze, as if looking at an ant.
"You? You dare to challenge me! If it weren't for the favor of fortune, none of you would even be qualified to stand before me."
When Zhou Xingdou said these words, he exuded an aura of arrogance and domineering power, which was overwhelming!
What he said was indeed true. As for being influenced by memories of his previous life, given his status as the young master of the Zhou family, You Ji and Lin Fan wouldn't even be qualified to stand in front of him.
"He's just a chosen one."
Zhou Xingdou sneered twice. Even if he had discovered Lin Fan was the chosen one in his previous life, he did so earlier than You Ji. Why would she need to tell him any secrets?
You Ji was no longer as calm as before. Even with Zhou Xingdou at her feet, she panicked and exclaimed:
"You... actually... knew that."
She never expected that Zhou Xingdou knew about this. She had the insight to recognize talent and could vaguely sense whether someone was destined for greatness, which was the foundation for her success.
Little did they know that Zhou Xingdou already knew about this.
Suddenly, Youji understood why Zhou Xingdou had made an exception and promoted Lin Fan to be his true disciple, and why he had given him so many resources before.
After much deliberation, she realized that aside from being a top-grade cauldron, she seemed to have no ability or value to persuade Zhou Xingdou to let her go.
This immediately threw her into a panic. A dignified saint, apart from his body, had no other value at this moment, and for a moment she felt a long-lost sense of despair.
But at that moment, Zhou Xingdou lifted his foot from You Ji's face and said in a gentler voice:
"stand up."
When Youji heard Zhou Xingdou's gentle voice, she was a little stunned, thinking that Zhou Xingdou had changed his mind and was going to let her go.
I had just managed to get up, my body extremely weak, and I hadn't even had time to feel happy.
Snap!
A crisp slap rang out.
A bright red handprint appeared on Youji's fair and delicate face in an instant, and the burning pain left her somewhat at a loss.
"You bitch!"
Zhou Xingdou cursed angrily. How could the hatred from his previous life be so easily resolved? If it were that easy, why would he have resorted to any means to deal with Lin Fan?
His hatred for Lin Fan had become a demon in his heart, preventing him from being reborn to this day, and he had never dared to fall asleep.
Every time he closes his eyes, the scene before his death in his previous life appears before his eyes, and the feeling of near death fills his body.
This hatred is not only directed at Lin Fan, but also at every accomplice around him!
Even though You Ji was a woman, and a very beautiful one at that, it was still difficult for him to soften his heart even slightly.
Because she was also a direct participant in his death, he was unwilling to let her go so easily!
Zhou Xingdou didn't say much. A flash of light appeared, and a willow branch appeared in his hand. The branch was shaped like a whip and was seven feet long.
The willow leaves stood upright on the willow branches, emanating a terrifying and fierce aura. Holy light shone and illuminated the entire palace, indicating that it was no ordinary object.
This willow branch was originally a branch from a spiritual root of heaven and earth, but it was later picked by an unparalleled powerhouse and refined into a divine weapon!
Later, for various reasons, it became part of the Zhou family's treasure trove.
This willow branch weapon is used much like a whip; both are used to whip people.
But it is different from ordinary whips because it is made from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and has some peculiarities.
That is, when it is whipped on a person, it will not damage the skin and flesh, but will heal the person's injuries and make the person's mind clear.
However, this item was later refined in the Zhou family, and it gained another function.
That is, in the instant of being whipped, the body's senses are amplified countless times, and even the slightest pain is comparable to being cut into a thousand pieces.
Moreover, the pain strikes deep into the soul, unrelated to physical strength, and is simply unbearable for ordinary people.
It can be described as an essential weapon for interrogation and torture. In his previous life, Zhou Xingdou used this item to beat a stubborn and unyielding Great Sage into begging for mercy and revealing everything.
Its power is self-evident.
"Please, please let me go. We are both from Nine Profound Peaks. For the sake of Peak Master Tian, please let me go."
Youji looked at Zhou Xingdou in horror. People with such unpredictable tempers are the most terrifying; you never know what they will do next.
Looking at the pitiful You Ji, Zhou Xingdou felt no pity. He gently stroked the willow branch in his hand, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
"I once let you go, but unfortunately... you never let me go."
At this moment, Zhou Xingdou's heart turned completely cold, devoid of any emotion. The willow branch in his hand, like a nimble snake or a sharp blade, lashed out at You Ji.
Tear!
The thin purple gauze dress on You Ji's body was torn by the willow branches, revealing her snow-white skin.
Suddenly, an extremely shrill scream rang out, echoing throughout every space of the palace.
Even without experiencing it firsthand, the scream alone is enough to send chills down your spine.
Yu Ji collapsed to the ground in excruciating pain, writhing on the floor.
At that moment, she understood what true pain was. Every inch of her skin and every pore felt as if it were being pierced by countless sharp blades.
Her soul felt as if it were being gnawed at by fire ants, burning and stinging, making her feel as if she had lived for ten thousand years in that one second, causing her unbearable pain.
This pain caused Youji to break down completely, crying out and begging for mercy:
"I was wrong! Please let me go, I'll do anything you want."
