Chapter 34 Capturing Taotie 2

They all got into the bridal sedan and arrived at Bai Hua Mountain after a long ride.

They were asked to enter on their own as the men who escorted them seems scared and flew.

The mountain was quiet and the door was tightly closed.

They all stepped out of their sedan still wearing the veil.

We walked towards the quiet gate and tried knocking but it opened on it own.

Xiaoyi was feeling anxious for no reason and she kept clenching her fist when she felt a warm hand on hers.

Calm down, we are not dead yet, Lu Yi whispered.

Xiaoyi responded to Lu Yi's word and indeed calmed down.

Welcome, the empyrean has been waiting for a long time. Please each bride should take off the veil and follow me, a girl kept on repeating.

They all complied and handed the veils to the girl who was leading the way.

Do you feel cold, Li Yan asked everyone and they all affirmed.

No we don't, Xiaoyi and Lu Yi responded almost at the same time.

It is getting colder, Jingyue said again as she begins to shiver pretty badly.

All brides should stay here, the girl said and left.

Jingyue squatted down trying to warm her hand but it doesn't seems to be working.

There was fog everywhere and they couldn't see clearly.

Did you guys see that throne, Xiaoyi asked pointing but everyone couldn't see it.

Little Girl, you have quite a good eyesight, a male voice was heard and everyone quickly regained their composure.

The fog became worse and they all fell to the ground unconsciously.

Take them away, Taotie ordered.

Xiaoyi and the rest were chained in the same room.

After a while, they all became conscious.

You all are finally awake, Taotie said sitting on a throne.

This is the first time I could finally have the spiritual essence of cultivators, Taotie said and stood up walking towards each of them who kept resisting the chain.

It's useless. Even Phoenix was unable to control the Heavenly Binding Chain and you want to break free, dream on, Taotie said stopping in front of Lu Yi.

You are a man, Taotie said admiring Lu Yi.

You really look beautiful as a girl. You are not in your luck, if you were to be a girl, I would have considered you serving me but men are uncontrollable, Taotie moved further to Xiaoyi.

Little girl, can you remove the chain, Taotie asked Xiaoyi whose eyes were tightly shut.

A sword kept appearing on her mind and she suddenly had a great urge to kill someone.

Let us down, Xiaoyi said to Taotie after opening her eyes.

What right do you have to negotiate with me, Taotie asked though surprised by the girl's bravery.

What are you scared of. We are already here anyways. You must be a coward for still binding us, Xiaoyi said trying to annoy Taotie.

Interesting, are you sure all of you can defeat me, Taotie asked and starts to loosen the chain slowly.

We can, Xiaoyi affirmed strongly.

Soon, they were down but were pretty weak.

Let's start, Taotie said without moving an inch.

Everyone struggled to find their balance but fell to the ground again.

Xiaoyi was the fight to summon her sword hence everyone took turns.

Jingqiu went next and as Taotie attempt to slash her with his fingers, Lu Yi took the hit for her and they both fell and spat blood.

They stood up again to fight back but Taotie kept throwing all of them away.

They were all brutally injured and spat out blood.

Soon Taotie went closer to Lu Yi and begin to draw his spiritual essence.

Let him go, Xiaoyi said as she watched others faint weakly.

I said let him go, Xiaoyi screamed again and her wooden sword went flying towards Taotie who immediately tried to dodge the sword but failed.

Lu Yi fell to the ground with no iota of strength in him.

The sword soon transformed to a red sword and Xiaoyi was pulled with the sword.

Taotie fell to the ground and watched Xiaoyi move closer and closer to him with a devil-like smile.

You say, if I draw all your spiritual essence, how powerful will I be, Xiaoyi said tracing the blade of the sword but her eyes was kept on Taotie.
