The subordinate instantly paled.
Out of anxiousness, he had no time to think and merely acted upon instinct, bringing down a calamity onto himself. This young lady is known to be a sadist, an infamous psychopath.
Without hesitation, he said, "No! My lady be forgiving! My lady be forgiving!"
The subordinate dropped down to kowtow, but all he heard was junior sister Rui's chuckle.
She said, "Since you don't appreciate women, I guess you have no right of having any."
With a gentle wave of her hand and a grin plastered on her face, junior sister Rui summoned a sound transmission talisman before it burnt away.
She then signaled the remaining four subordinates to lock down on the kowtowing man's cultivation with their conjoined efforts as he struggled in confusion, not knowing what the young lady prepared for him.
She then said with a cheeky tone, "I brought your wives along so you don't feel lonely. What a pity, you don't deserve a fine woman like her, the least I can do is have you watch your wife enjoy her time with some men who know how to appreciate women~"
Her words were like an ice shard that pierced through the man's heart.
His face sank. Not only him, but also the other subordinates had their hearts momentarily stop beating in place.
Although they have managed to reach this degree of cultivation, their backgrounds were of humble origins. If it wasn't for the Martial Law's support, they wouldn't have this strength.
They all have common lives outside military affairs, common love, common wives, some even have children already.
It wouldn't be difficult for the Martial Law to kidnap their women, or even slaughter their entire insignificant heritage.
Now as they listened to the young lady, their feet grew cold as they thanked the stars and gods. But, they were still anxious to the bone.
If they died here that's fine, but their families are a different matter.
Their families are nothing but mortals from side countries, slaughtering them is as simple as cutting vegetables and no one would care one bit.
"Y-young lady, what do you mean?!"
The subordinate has already become as white as a sheet of paper, not daring to decipher the hidden means of junior sister Rui's obvious implications.
She didn't even spare him a glance. The next moment, the side door opened up and two robust men walked in after tossing an ordinary-looking woman in her late twenties onto the floor.
The woman was confused, just a moment ago she was in a separate room talking and having fun with four other women of a similar temperament of her own, only to be brought about fiercely by two men.
Although horrified, she knew her place within the hierarchy of this world, she wasn't even qualified to be a servant to this type of people.
As she scanned the room, she noticed her husband being held down by four other men, struggling and shouting in alarm as tears rolled down his face.
He looked shockingly ugly, like a relentless pig.
She didn't know why, but she felt an inexplicable sense of crisis crawl up from the soles of her feet.
Before she could speak or recollect on what's going on, she caught a glimpse of brilliant light from the corner of her eyes.
Bzzzt!
A string of purple thunder flung at her like a thin whip, smacking onto her right thigh with a momentum that almost tore her leg apart.
The stream of electricity revolved through her body faster than she could even comprehend the pain, leaving her some leverage to only emit a faint gasp as her muscles betrayed her, dropping limb onto the floor with torn robes.
Her husband who had almost ripped his vocal cords as he screamed have shrunk into a distant fragment in her field of vision, her robes slowly began to accumulate her sweat, her current state of weakness aroused the two men who brought her into the room.
Their eyes were filled with naked greed and lust, they were simply awaiting the order to be given before surrendering to their animalistic desires.
They were like two hounds gnashing their fangs at a vulnerable piece of fat meat, only held down by the chains under the control of their owner.
Martial Artists that walked the path of obscenity are numerous, and those two belonged to that category.
These cultivators are used to draining the life essence of the opposite gender to supplement their own, and it is done in hideous shameful means.
Currently, their lust and desire almost condensed into substance as they watched the woman on the floor, drenched in her own sweat, struggling against the purple thunder that ravaged her insides to a point of growing numb.
It's like no one cared about the crying man whose voice has already turned hoarse, they focused on two things.
The woman on the floor, and junior sister Rui's commands.
"Oh? Suddenly you're growing attentive towards women again? What a pity, I'm afraid you won't learn your lesson like this... Aren't I right, senior brother?" Junior sister Rui said, placing the command into Wang's hands.
However, the subordinate didn't turn his neck this time, he kept staring at his young lady with a pitiful expression, not daring to repeat his mistake.
Wang said, "Bitten by a snake once, fearing the ropes for ten years. Indeed, if a simple apology is enough to wash one's sins, what's the point of cultivation?"
In fact, the two robust men were under senior brother Wang's command, so they can't just act based on the young lady's authority alone.
Thus, after getting the dual approval, they launched themselves without reservations in front of everyone.
....
"Hey Anastasia, how long till we get there?" On the flying boat, it has been almost two days of constant travel.
Yinfer and Anastasia had some brief chats now and then, they could be considered acquaintances at the moment.
During these two days, Noire was absorbed into gathering Qi Essence from Qi Crystals to increase his cultivation as much as possible.
On the right palm of his laid a large piece of Qi Crystals, on his left palm was a spherical orb exuding blazing yang energy, the Nine Hundred Crow Cries orb.
This was a high-grade treasure that absorbed Qi essence and then converted the energy into pure yang attribute energy.
Yang attribute energy is most suitable for Fire Qi gathering martial artists, so although Noire doesn't have the time to absorb any Extreme Yang Fire treasures, this is enough by far.
"We should arrive in a day and a half," Anastasia answered, she inadvertently looked at Noire from time to time, wondering what type of information did he find in the jade slip.
A day earlier when Noire took a break from cultivation to check the jade slip, he didn't find any substantial information.
But, the fact that the Island is an isolated space confused him.
This type of array isn't something from the lower planes, and the fact that such an array was active for thousands of years, there must be a huge secret behind it.
Since then, Noire's facial features would twist into multiple variations.
Pensive, surprised, dubious, anxious, excited, and whatnot.
However, every subtle change was caught by Anastasia, and not to mention Yinfer.
However, they didn't bother Noire and allowed him to sink deep in contemplation.
He even had the urge to connect with the Dragon Altar through soul-link, but both Void Dragons and the Silver Eclipse Tribe are xenophobic so they absolutely have no information regarding the twists and turns in the Nine Thousand Heavens.
'Just what is the connection between the Divine Inheritance Island and Monster Race? Who arranged it and why is the array acting against the Imperial Family? Ugh! If I knew, I would have investigated the human side of things while I was running around through the Nine Thousand Heavens!'
Noire cried inwardly, finally giving up and opening his eyes.
His only glimmer of hope is to directly investigate the Island once they've arrived.
