57 Forceful

Yang Tian raised his brow in question. Was he really hearing her say that??

"Clear the ice from the bodies of the Frozen Cloud Sect disciples? Wouldn't I have to go to the Frozen Cloud Asgard then? That is a place which bars the entry of men. How would I be able to do what was asked of him then?

In reality, Yang Tian was merely making an excuse. He didn't care much about entering the Frozen Cloud Asgard's rules; those rules weren't his concerns; he didn't want to do them a free favour.

Meanwhile, Chu Yuechan replied with a solemn tone, "I will tie a dark clothed around your eyes and lead you to the Sect. I will also explain the situation to the Palace Mistress and convince her. You just need to do what you did to me right now. Clear the ice from their bodies by touching their palm."

By the time she finished speaking, Yang Tian's pupils had narrowed, and he resisted the urge to frown.

His face was still completely calm as he asked her, "Firstly, I am already disappointed in this deal. You are going to tie a cloth around my eyes and take me to the Frozen Cloud Asgard Sect? I already disagree with this. If the Frozen Cloud Asgard Sect Disciples need help, they need to come to me, not me to them. Secondly, I am not a saint who does something for free. What can you offer me in return of this? The favour I would be doing them would be too great… Is there of anything of equal value that you can offer me?"

These two points made Chu Yuechan stifle a little. This… She didn't think he would still be unyielding to her even after hearing her identity. But considering his abilities, she decided to endure this.

She even had to think for some time before replying in her ice-cold voice that seemed to contain the power to freeze Yang Tian's blood, "We can give you an Emperor Profound Core in return."

This was the most the Frozen Cloud Asgard to give. An Emperor Profound Core was an incredibly precious object. Her master would have to take personal charge to get an Emperor Profound Core, but Chu Yuechan believed that it would be worth it.

However, this didn't move Yang Tian one bid. An Emperor Profound Core was indeed precious. But he already had one. It wasn't like he could use the Emperor Profound Core at this moment, so why would he want one more?

Meanwhile, Yang Tian was also thinking 'She used her profound energy with her words earlier to freeze my blood and my inner organs to intimidate me. If not for the Phoenix Fire in my body, it would have been quite a serious situation. It's better to end this conversation quickly.'

"That is insufficient. Anyway, our deal has come to an end. Have a good day… Fairy Chu," He called her Fairy Chu since she had already revealed her own identity to him.

Once again, Chu Yuechan was rejected by Yang Tian. It didn't bode well for her pride. She was truly displeased now. She had even used the profound energy with her voice to freeze his internal organs, was this fellow still so oblivious? Or did it not affect him at all?

Chu Yuechan came to the conclusion that Yang Tian was mysterious. Perhaps the most reserved person she had seen in her life.

"An Emperor Profound Core is insufficient? Do you even realise the rarity of an Emperor Profound Core?! You won't even have the chance to see it in your life again." Chu Yuechan coldly said to Yang Tian, a hint of disdain in her eyes hidden behind the veil as she couldn't believe that such a mysterious person was so ignorant.

"You might be right about that. An Emperor Profound Core is indeed very great. But… What will I do with it? Can I sell it? Considering my cultivation base, it would be more likely that someone would kill me to steal it. So tell me, how is it useful to me?" His words were once again on point.

Chu Yuechan stayed quiet for a long time. She couldn't think of anything which would be able to convince Yang Tian to help her sect.

He didn't even want an Emperor Profound Core.

"What about a weapon?"

"I use Heavy Swords. Do you have a Sky Profound Heavy Sword or maybe an Emperor Profound Heavy Sword? What about a Profound Skill to use with a Heavy Sword?" Yang Tian asked her with a hint of amusement on his voice.

Chu Yuechan opened her mouth to speak but had no words. She was truly speechless. It was like every time she tried to think of a good idea, it was calmly turned down by Yang Tian.

The frustrating part about this wasn't that she was turned down. It was the fact that she couldn't say anything in return. It felt to her as if she was called stupid. Moreover, she really couldn't reply to this insult since she internally believed it to be true.

How could Yang Tian not notice the look on Chu Yuechan's face? He said to her with a monotonous voice, "We had a very good deal. Please leave… You cannot convince me over this matter." Although he had spoken in an emotionless voice, he had still requested her.

Chu Yuechan continued thinking while Yang Tian turned once again and proceeds to walk away.

Suddenly, his eyes widened as he felt ice appearing around his body.

"Hmm? What is the meaning of this?" Yang Tian felt very cold energy hitting his body as he slowly turned around to look at Chu Yuechan's face.

Although his body was at the 2nd Stage of 'Great Way of the Buddha', it wasn't immune to cold. Moreover, with his cultivation base only at the 8th Level of the True Profound Realm, how could he resist the potent ice profound energy? He did not want to reveal his Phoenix Flames to Chu Yuechan right now.

"You said that you won't treat the bodies of the disciples of the Frozen Cloud Asgard Sect because there was nothing of equal value. I wonder if you consider your life important? Should it have enough value?" Yang Tian heard her chilly voice.

"You plan on forcefully bringing me to the Frozen Cloud Asgard Sect? Don't forget I was the one who treated your ice poison a few moments earlier for an insignificant condition?" Yang Tian's voice remained calm on the outside, but he really was getting angry. If she did make her move… Would he be able to beat her?

With his strength at this moment, it was indeed next to impossible to beat her. Even if he burned the Origin Phoenix Blood, he would at most be able to nullify a single attack from Chu Yuechan. And even about that, he wasn't too sure.

"Your ability is necessary to help the disciples of the Frozen Cloud Asgard Sect. I will take you to the Frozen Cloud Asgard sect even if I have to use force!" Chu Yuechan stared at Yang Tian as her Ice Profound Energy suddenly froze Yang Tian's inner organs.
