4 Yoko, Prisoner.

The transport was slowly rising high in the sky. People seated in the passenger section of the carrier could see their burning village from how high they were up, through the strategically placed windows.

At first glance one could see the four towns within the circular valley of hills. There were several miles of just grass and trees. Scattered villages were hidden within the natural foliage. It was clear that the people were one with nature in places with populations under a thousand. Poverty riddled the outskirts.

However there were random settlements which looked incredibly wealthy. They had massive banners which one could only assume belonged to a sect. There were a total of three Sect settlements. They were all about the size of a football field. They consisted of mainly a palace, a protective barrier and even smaller buildings that could be assumed to be housing or of other miscellaneous uses.

From the cockpit, Jack had an uneasy feeling. The sight of the valley seemed abnormal.

It was as if it had been artificially carved out of the ground with a knife. They were at the point of seven thousand two hundred meters, four hundred millibars, above the ground level. Using the transports surveying instruments, the images it was showing definitely proved this to be.

"How in the hell… From what I saw, their terraforming capabilities are not where near capable of doing this." His eyes glanced over towards the Zu Cultivator who was still unconscious, her face soiled by mud.

It somewhat looked like she was wearing a mud mask. At least one would hope that was just mud and not something unpleasant. At least it didn't smell bad. It smelled of damp grass mostly and loose minerals.

"Mmm…" The girl's brows furrowed a bit as she groaned. She was still unconscious, but she was slowly waking up.

The floor felt foreign, metallic. The lights were unnatural, it hurt the eyes. An uncanny hum seemed to reverberate throughout her surroundings. 'What is this feeling?' Tightening her eye lids for a moment, she would slowly open her eyes. Allowing her eye lashes to shield her from the unnatural white lights.

Then she paused slightly, there was someone near her. She went to move, but paused. There was something cold around her wrists. She lifted her head from the ground and paled.

She had been stripped of her clothes and stuffed in a bag. On top of that for some reason she was feeling extremely itchy. Then she blinked, she could feel the ends of her hair against the back of her neck?

Her eyes began to gloss and shine, tears silently began to stroll down her face. Anger raged throughout her body, but just as she went to break from her confinement, she felt a sharp pain.

"Why can't I circulate my Qi!?" The girl yelped, all of her Meridians giving off a tingling sensation that rushed through her very nerves and temporarily disabled movement for a few seconds.

Her body shook slightly, trembling almost as she peered over at the man in the chair who was looking out some sort of window. Her sight moved passed him and outward. She didn't see the looming mountains on the horizon, nor trees. There was only the blue sky?

"Where am I?! Who are you!?"

These words rang in Jack's ears as he glanced down at the girl by his foot. A brow arched slightly.

"Wait… Why are you wearing my robe…? PERVERT!" The girl began to scream profanity at the man she didn't even know.

"Shameless."

The girl paused, "Shameless…?" her voice cracked as she repeated what he called her.

"Yeah, you know. People who attack an innocent village, slaughter its people and then complain that they were stripped of all their belongings. Even had their identifying trait forcedly shortened."

Her eyes narrowed on the man, yet her glare didn't reach him. It was like sending killing intent at a steel wall. Yet she could sense that he was several levels below her at the same cultivation stage.

"So tell me Marauder," Jack referred to the girl as a bandit. "What is your name?" He got up from his seat once the transport was at ten thousand meters in the air.

The girl found herself trembling again. He was straddling over her now, waving a strange looking semi-transparent blade in her face. A molecular knife which had heat blowing right in her face as if it was vibrating at extreme rates.

He could cut her flesh light butter. Hell, this guy could cut her master's head off with ease!

"None of your business!" The lass had no idea why she said that. Her eyes having widened after she had screamed at him again. Defiance against fear.

Tssssss….

The smell of burning hair reached her nostrils as she noticed that he was resting the flat side of his knife against her hair. He was burning it!

Her mouth opened as if she was going to say something, but her eyes were squinting as her eyes began to water. Her mouth began to tremble as if she was trying not to audibly cry.

As she was doing this, she kept trying to sneakily circulate her Qi, but she just kept being met with the same tingling sensation. Each time she did it, the feeling would build up more and more.

"If you keep doing that, you'll explode."

The girl's eyes widened once again, then made an even more startled expression as Jack's face was centimeters away from hers. She could head butt him, but what then? She could spit on his face, but what after that? She could be defiant, but that would only give her worse treatment.

The girl immediately stopped trying to circulate her Qi and slowly began to calm down.

"Yoko."

"Yoko?"

"My name."

Nodding slightly, his own expression made her worry.

Jack had a thoughtful expression and slowly got off the girl and stood over her. Her body was right between both of his feet.

"Yoko doesn't sound like a Chinese name…" He muttered to himself and scratched the side of his head. Of course when Yoko heard the word Chinese, she had no idea what he was talking about.

While this world followed a lot of Chinese Folklore, or appeared to do so, it was a completely different world from Earth. It defied the very laws of normalcy.

'Oh World Defying System.' Jack called out with a tease filled tone in his head.

[ Present. ]

'Are you able to use the transport's abilities to make a map of the surrounding areas?' He asked with a brow raised.

[ Affirmative. Beginning detailed map generation and database integration. ]

The mini-map in the corner of his vision began to zoom out, generating a map of the continent as the transport continued to rise in altitude.

Jack then looked down towards the silently sobbing Yoko with an indifferent face. He had completely ruined her heavenly hair which had contrast with the rest of her body. Though she still had an otherworldly beautiful face, she definitely had no will to resist anymore.

"How was this terrain made? It looked like this area was flattened into hill lands."

Her sobbing slowly came to a halt as he asked the question, all that was left were sniffles. "My Master said that it was formed by a legendary Jiàng Heavenly Emperor Stage Cultivator… A realm which hasn't been reached for over a millenia."

Jack's eyes widened. With that amount of power, one could easily destroy an entire country. Forget that, take over the world without much struggle. Who could possibly stand up against such a monster? Even he doubted his own weapons would have much effect against someone that strong.

Stopping the Transport ascent at twelve thousand meters above ground level, he sat back down in the pilots seat.

"Can you take me out of this bag! It's getting really irritating in here!"

Jack's eyes glanced at her for a moment before gabbing the end of the back and pulling it up. He then used the molecular knife and cut down the front of it.

Yoko was trying extremely hard not to move as she could feel the extremely hot tip of the blade singe her pelvic hair as it passed her legs and up her chest. Thankfully she didn't have a massive bosom or they would've been split!

After he got above her collarbone, he lightly nicked her below the jawline after cutting the bag open. That's when she noticed that she didn't even have undergarments on.

Yoko was about to scream, only for Jack to pull her panties out of his inventory and shove them into her wide open mouth.

"Mmmm!" Her muffled complaints weren't heard as he shoved her into one of the vacant seats in the transport's cabin. "Mmmphf!"

Jack simply stared at her for a few moments, glancing at her hands and the rest of her body. She seemed to have damaged her meridians by trying to force Qi circulation and effectively hurt her motor skills.

"You have hands. Take the garments out of your mouth and slip them on."

The girl's cheek twitched slightly in annoyance as she saw the sadistic grin across his lips. 'Just wait until I wipe that grin off your face. You better hope these cuffs don't break anytime soon!'
