*Click, crack!*

The Wolf-teeth Rings, a torture instrument forged by Wu Qi according to the design provided by Yan Bugui, snapped into pieces on Immortal Jadebone’s fingers. Huang Liang and Yuan Qing, who had been using the instrument to torture her, cried out in horror. Why were her bones so hard?

Wu Qi’s face flickered as he stood watching from aside. There was nothing special about the rings except that they were forged from dozens of extremely hard materials. It had taken him a great deal of effort to forge them, and they could easily crush the finger bones of even ordinary Primordial Immortals.

But, Immortal Jadebone had lived up to her name. Her bones were so hard that instead of breaking them, the rings Wu Qi had carefully forged were snapped into pieces.

Yan Bugui’s face was unsightly. He took out the other torture instruments, which Wu Qi had forged according to his designs, and told Huang Liang and Yuan Qing to put them all on Immortal Jadebone. A dozen instruments capable of ripping a man to pieces were activated at the same time. A series of crackling noises echoed out as Immortal Jadebone laid on the ground, unhurt, while all the instruments were shattered to pieces.

Lord Xiansheng and the others standing nearby sucked in a cold breath at the same time. Why was this Immortal Jadebone so difficult to deal with?

Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le looked at each other speechlessly. They too had run out of ideas to deal with Immortal Jadebone.

Immediately after her interstitial world was devoured by Wu Qi and she was captured by Princess Zhang Le, Immortal Jadebone had fused her immortal soul with her bones, which made her bones harder. Wu Qi had used several soul-searching magic on her, but he was unable to get her soul out of her bones. Apparently, the method of fusing soul and bones together was a mystic art she had invented herself, which had an excellent resistance against all kinds of soul-searching magic.

Princess Zhang Le’s various soul-controlling divine magic achieved nothing as well. The mystic art Immortal Jadebone cultivated was bizarre to the extreme. The idea of a complete fusion of soul and bones was unheard of even in the rich experience of Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le. It was incomparably wicked, but the effect was extremely powerful. The couple had struggled for a long time to get her but to no avail; yet, they did not want to kill her. So, they could only torture her with physical punishment.

But, when all the torture instruments had been snapped to pieces, even Wu Qi felt clueless about what to do next.

If Wu Qi were to torture Immortal Jadebone himself, he would have easily shattered her bones. But, no one knew how her bones and soul were fused. If he accidentally damaged her soul in the process, he would not get anything useful out of her.

It was like a dog trying to bite a hedgehog but having nowhere to bite. Wu Qi and his companions looked at Immortal Jadebone lying on the ground with her eyes rolling backward. There was nothing they could do about her.

With a wry smile, Wu Qi touched his nose and sighed. “Immortal Jadebone, didn’t you say earlier that you are willing to be a slave and do as we bid?”

Immortal Jadebone turned her blank eyes to Wu Qi. “I am willing to be a slave if I am captured by an almighty senior,” she said with a sneer. “We, the fiend immortals, believe that the weaklings should submit to the strong ones. If I am defeated by a stronger fiend immortal, I will naturally submit to him or her. But, you are not a fiend immortal, but someone from Great Yu. Heh, I will never let you get anything out of me even if my soul perishes!”

Immortal Jadebone’s heart was bent on not letting Wu Qi and the others take advantage of her.

There was a long silence, after which, Wu Qi glanced at Lord Xiansheng. A Chaotic Spirit Artifact could certainly break Immortal Jadebone’s bones, but its power was not easy to control. All their efforts would be in vain should they accidentally damage her soul. Should Wu Qi forge some torture instruments as strong as Chaotic Spirit Artifacts to punish her? That was really ridiculous!

The crowd stared at Immortal Jadebone, pondering for a long time but could not come out with a better way. Suddenly, Ao Buzun burst into laughter and said, “Well, she is nothing but a woman! Why are you taking so long to tame her? Wait and see what I can do to her!”

He picked up Immortal Jadebone, stamped his foot, and dove into the ground. Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le looked at each other without stopping Ao Buzun. Perhaps he really had a way to get something valuable out of Immortal Jadebone’s mouth? It would be great if he could obtain the cultivation technique she practiced through some cruel tortures.

The bizarre method of merging the soul and the bones seemed to be very useful. Great Yu’s Directorate of Celestials used the bones of powerful demon beasts to produce various spirit talismans. If they could merge the soul and bones of those demon beasts, the power of the talismans should increase by a large margin. It would be a great addition to the fighting power of Dong Hai Army.

The crowd stood on the hill and waited patiently for Ao Buzun. At last, after seven days and seven nights, he emerged from under the ground with a satisfied smile on his face. Immortal Jadebone, her face red and eyes watery, followed him obediently. When she saw Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le, she bowed to them timidly like a child bride visiting her in-laws. “This little fiend offers her greetings to my lord and my lady. I have offended you before, and I beg your pardon. I will submit myself voluntarily to Dong Hai from this day, and will be its pawn at your service.”

Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le were at a loss of words. Yan Bugui glanced at the broken torture instruments scattered on the ground, his face twitching with pity, and then looked equally at a loss. They were wondering how Ao Buzun managed to ‘convince’ Immortal Jadebone, when even the torture instruments forged by Wu Qi had failed to pry open her mouth?

At the sight of all the dazed faces, Ao Buzun laughed excitedly. He patted his manhood and said, “My spear can kill any gods or buddhas who get in the way, not to mention this fiend woman! As soon as I jerked it out, she dropped to her knees in awe and submitted instantly! Hahaha! All your torture instruments and soul-searching magic are completely useless! Only this divine spear of mine is invincible, and I can conquer the world with it!”

Immortal Jadebone lowered her head shyly and blushed as if she had been smeared with chicken blood. Wu Qi and the others looked at her bizarre appearance, then turned to look at Ao Buzun, who was boasting about how strong he was as spittle flew off his mouth. They could not help but shudder at the same time. They finally understood why the dragon population was so large and complex today. It must be because Ao Buzun had a broad appetite and could have sex with anyone, so long as they were female!

None of the men present, including Wu Qi, were sexually aroused by Immortal Jadebone, who had a strange appearance. However, not only did Ao Buzun have a sexual urge, he had put it into action and even ‘tamed’ her in the process! This was a marvelous achievement! He really was as good and invincible as he had boasted!

Coughing dryly, Wu Qi kicked Ao Buzun away. “Immortal Jadebone,” he said with a smile, looking at the flushed fiend immortal who dared not to look up, “are you genuinely willing to submit yourself to Dong Hai? If it is true, can you offer me the fiend cultivation technique you are practicing?”

Immortal Jadebone answered obediently. All of a sudden, the skin and flesh on her head split open, revealing a cyan skull that looked as if it was made of the finest jade. Wu Qi and the others had another shiver. She was truly a fiend immortal, for even her cultivation technique was hidden in such a horrible place. Ao Buzun was the only one laughing. “This woman has beautiful bones. You don’t know how charming her leg bones are when she raises them high!”

Lord Xiansheng had goosebumps all over him as he hurried a few steps aside to keep a distance from Ao Buzun.

A thin, palm-sized piece of jade bone detached from Immortal Jadebone’s skull and fell slowly into Wu Qi’s hand. It was as thin as cicada’s wings, almost transparent, and densely covered with handwriting. A careful look at it revealed that it was actually a unique divine ability of the Fiend League called the ‘Jade Fiend Bone Forging’.

After memorizing the divine ability with his divine sense, Wu Qi burned the bone to ashes with a wisp of blue flame that rose from his fingertip. As he had expected, it was a very weird divine ability. It fused all the bone molecules with the soul particles, and made the core of the soul constantly swimming through the bones. So, if one was not careful, it was possible to destroy her immortal soul in the process of damaging her bones.

Looking coldly at Immortal Jadebone, who was trembling all over, Wu Qi sneered, “You see, we’re not without means to deal with you, but we just want your confession. If you hadn’t come to your senses in time and submitted yourself, in a few more days when I had comprehended the secret of your divine ability, I would have had the means to make you beg for death.”

Seeing how easily Wu Qi burned the bone which she had been refined with her natal true flame for countless years, Immortal Jadebone fell to her knees in horror and said, “I confess my guilt! I submit with all my heart, and I will never betray you!”

Wu Qi nodded and gave Princess Zhang Le a glance, who chuckled. “Immortal Jadebone,” she said in a low voice, “since you’re from Fiend League, we’ll play by the Fiend League’s rules. Until we know you’re genuinely submitting to us, you...”

Immortal Jadebone’s skin and flesh slipped down like running water, revealing her beautiful skeleton that looked as if it was carved from the finest jade. A beautiful figure jumped out of the skeleton and hovered in front of Princess Zhang Le. The so-called Fiend League’s rules were nothing more than revealing one’s soul and allowing the other to imprison it.

The princess took a glimmer of Immortal Jadebone’s soul and imprisoned it in her interstitial world. Afterward, with ninety-nine restrictive spells she inherited from Ancient Gods, she took complete control of her soul.

Immortal Jadebone knelt on her knees and did not dare to resist. Meanwhile, she kept glancing at Ao Buzun out of the corners of her eyes, the cruel, cold look in them replaced by affection.

Seeing her behavior, Ao Buzun could not help but stick out his lower body and begin to brag once more.

Wu Qi glared at Ao Buzun. He really had nothing to say to this obscene fella.

However, he could not suppress his curiosity about Ao Buzun. Did this fella really take Immortal Jadebone, the fierce woman from the Fiend League, by that means alone? How did he do that?
