Chapter 388: Chapter 388 Submission

"Spare me, spare my life..."

The other person uttered a weak plea, the pain was unbearable, excruciating to the bone.

He felt as if there were hundreds of burning needles torturing his brain, his vision going dark from the agony, even fainting seemed like a luxury.

Qin Yi withdrew his hand seal.

The person felt the pain recede like a tidal wave, and he collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud, his clothes soaked in cold sweat.

"Thank you..." he said weakly, it was only in that moment he realized what it meant to prefer death to life.

The eyes of the other three were frozen in horror.

This was a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and yet such was his agony. It was clear how terrifying the pain he endured was.

"You, what exactly have you done to us?" one of them asked in horror.

Qin Yi’s gaze was indifferent, "Now, I give you two choices. First, submit and serve me as your master. Second, a fate worse than death."

The four looked terrified.

They realized they had all been wrong; Qin Yi did not refrain from hurting them out of fear of the Blood Cloud Tower. He wanted them to submit.

Liu Chengqing and the others were utterly shocked, they had not expected Qin Yi’s move.

"I’ve planted something in your minds, and no one but me can remove it. Of course, if I die, you will also die; your brains will explode like rotten watermelons."

"Submit or die? You choose."

Fear filled the eyes of the four.

"I... I submit!" The cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, who was lying on the ground, struggled to kneel, tearing off the black cloth on his face, revealing a somewhat sinister face. "Subordinate Mo Lin, greets the master."

That kind of pain, he never wanted to experience again in his life.

The eyes of the other three flashed constantly as they exchanged looks, filled with resignation. Did they have any choice now?

The three of them slowly knelt down, tearing off the black cloth from their faces.

"Subordinate Lin Jingshan, greets the master!"

"Subordinate Gao Hanfei, greets the master!"

"Subordinate Dan Fang, greets the master."

Qin Yi looked at them coldly, "Actually, you should be grateful that you still have some use to me, otherwise there’s absolutely no chance of survival."

"Thank you for your mercy, master!"

The four echoed in chorus, their tone respectful and submissive.

Qin Yi raised his hand, and an invisible force lifted the four into the air. Simultaneously, a burst of purple light shot into Mo Lin’s body.

Mo Lin’s body trembled slightly, and the energy he had lost instantly recovered, his face filled with shock.

Qin Yi said calmly, "You four can go back now!"

The four were momentarily stunned, looking at Qin Yi in fear.

Mo Lin said, "Master, we’ve already acknowledged you as our master. We have nothing more to do with the Blood Cloud Tower."

Qin Yi said coldly, "I’m letting you go back because there’s a task for you."

"Master, please give your orders," Mo Lin said respectfully.

"Go back and tell Xie Jiang that the rescue mission failed. And then, proceed with the transaction as usual tomorrow."

Mo Lin looked at Qin Yi in surprise, but upon seeing Qin Yi slightly narrow his eyes, he hurriedly said, "Yes, subordinate understands!"

Qin Yi said icily, "Remember, in the next task I assign, I don’t want to see any hesitation from you. Understand?"

"Yes, subordinates will remember it all!"

The four quickly bowed, reverently and respectfully.

"Go on!" Qin Yi waved them off.

"Subordinates take their leave!"

The four bowed and retreated three or four steps before turning around to leave.

Qin Yi looked down at Xie Wang, who was playing dead on the ground. This guy must have been scared out of his mind, trembling all over but keeping his eyes tightly shut, pretending to be unconscious.

Qin Yi sneered, "Liu Feng, Liu Yun, take him away and keep a close watch."

"Yes!"

The two picked up Xie Wang and took him away.

Liu Chengqing and the others walked over.

"Congratulations, these four are not weak in cultivation, and now they’re at your disposal."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "It’s only because you all are useless. Otherwise, there’d be no need for me to subdue them. Just looking at them is annoying, they should’ve been killed."

The three: "..."

Damn, isn’t that a bit too hurtful? Don’t we deserve some dignity?

Liu Chenglong asked confusedly, "Actually, with these four as guides, we can definitely find Xie Jiang and catch him off guard. Why is there a need for a transaction tomorrow?"

"Because night is for sleeping, and were it not for these bastards, I’d probably be dreaming by now!"

Qin Yi yawned, "Go rest early, it’s getting late, and there’s work tomorrow."

The three looked bewildered as Qin Yi walked away.

"It’s really hard to understand what goes on in that guy’s head," Liu Chenglong shook his head and said.

"If we could guess, he wouldn’t be Qin Yi. Don’t forget, this guy is exceptionally cunning."

The three laughed knowingly.

"Leader, you two go rest! I’ll keep watch," Liu Chengqing said.

......

The next day, in the morning!

After having breakfast, Qin Yi and the others headed to the Bamboo Forest.

The Bamboo Forest was outside the city, because there were rumors of it being haunted, with some claiming to have seen it with their own eyes, a once popular dating spot slowly became desolate, and no one came anymore.

The wind blew through the bamboo forest, the leaves swaying, creating a rustling sound.

Qin Yi stretched lazily, "This is truly a nice place. If there was a cabin here, away from the city’s clamor, it would be nice to live here for a few days."

"We’ve already obtained the development rights here and plan to turn it into a resort," said Liu Chengqing.

Qin Yi grinned with disdain, "You really are mundane! All you think about is money, can’t you be a bit more refined like me?"

Everyone: "..."

They looked at him strangely, thinking: Anyone is more convincing saying that than you, Qin Yi. When it comes to being mundane, loving money, who can beat you?

"Can I buy shares?"

"..."...

Indeed, this is so Qin Yi.

Liu Chengqing said, "Of course! How much do you plan to invest?"

"That depends on how much it costs to develop this place?"

Liu Chengqing said, "It won’t cost much. If you want to make it big and succeed, you’ll need to invest money, at least 500 million. For something smaller, two to three hundred million should suffice."

"Alright, no problem, let’s make it big and succeed. You guys fund it first, and once development is complete, I’ll buy shares."

Liu Chengqing nodded, for them, even spending four or five hundred million developing this place was just a small venture.

"Aren’t we there yet?" Qin Yi asked.

"Up ahead, we’re almost there."

Soon, the view before Qin Yi opened up, revealing a clearing the size of a basketball court in the bamboo sea.

Xie Jiang and the others had already arrived.

Xie Jiang looked like he was in his forties or fifties, tall and sturdy, with sharp eyes, but his actual age was far from that.

Mo Lin and the others stood half a step behind Xie Jiang.

"Father, save me, save me..."

Seeing Xie Jiang, Xie Wang saw a savior and began shouting desperately.

Xie Jiang looked at Xie Wang, who was being held by Liu Feng like a chick, his eyes cold and deep.

"Don’t worry, father will save you soon, don’t be afraid..."
