Blue Wind Imperial City, The Imperial Palace.
"... " - Yu Tian was standing above the Imperial Palace, staring at Cang Wanhe, who was sitting weakly due to the Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite.
"System, is there anything that can cure the Blue Wind Emperor of the Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite?" - Yu Tian asked as he planned to use a carrot-and-stick approach to deal with the Blue Wind Imperial Family and control them.
[Ding! Searching for the host's request.]
[Requirements matching the host found.]
[Name: Burning Soul Pills]
[Type: Medicinal Pill]
[Rank: Level 5]
[Purity: 100%]
[Description: Burning Soul Pills are made with the Burning Soul Flower as the main ingredient. Its primary function is to separate the soul from the body to destroy everything that intrudes on the body using a special flame that does not affect the body.]
[Price: 50 System Points]
"... " - Yu Tian stared at the system's description for a moment and didn't hesitate to purchase the Burning Soul Pills, as they were extremely useful for his plan, given his lack of deep medical knowledge compared to Yun Che.
"Now it's time to meet the Blue Wind Emperor," - Yu Tian muttered, flapping his wings slightly as he descended into Cang Wanhe's room.
"Who are you!!" - Dongfang Xiu asked, who appeared beside Cang Wanhe the moment he saw Yu Tian. He couldn't sense his presence and still couldn't, even though he was right in front of him. The worst part was that he couldn't feel Yu Tian's profound strength, as if he were an ordinary human.
"Yu Tian, the new leader of the Heaven's Secret Sect," - Yu Tian said with a smile, raising his hands as he had no intention of fighting them - "There's no need to be so cautious as I have not come with ill intentions."
"Then why would the Leader of the Heaven's Secret Sect come to the Imperial Palace and even intrude into the Emperor's room?" - Dongfang Xiu asked with a frown. He knew of Yu Tian and the Heaven's Secret Sect as they had become the talk of the Blue Wind Imperial City.
"As I said earlier, I do not have ill intentions in coming here but rather the opposite... " - Yu Tian said as he walked towards Cang Wanhe, who had been silent from the beginning - "Blue Wind Emperor, do you want to rid yourself of your illness or, more precisely, the poison you are suffering from?"
"You!!..." - Dongfang Xiu was shocked because no one knew the Emperor was ill, let alone that this man said he was poisoned. He wanted to interrogate him but stopped at Cang Wanhe's gesture to remain silent.
"... " - Cang Wanhe did not answer immediately and closed his eyes in silent thought.
Yu Tian was not in a hurry and got a chair beside him, sitting casually as if he were at home.
"Even though I am ill and silently waiting for my death, that does not mean I have forgotten that nothing in this world is free," - Cang Wanhe said, staring calmly at Yu Tian, showing neither sadness about his condition nor joy at knowing he would be cured - "So what do you want in exchange for curing me?"
"Well, I do not like beating around the bush, so I will get straight to the point," - Yu Tian said with the same smile - "I can cure you and grant you the power to take revenge on those who poisoned you, but in return, the Blue Wind Imperial Family must swear loyalty to me."
"By the way, you should know that I am offering you this opportunity out of kindness, but if you refuse this kindness, it will be the end of the Blue Wind Imperial Family," - Yu Tian said, using a bit of his Supreme Ruler aura to pressure both of them.
This was certainly a bluff, as Yu Tian had no intention of killing the Blue Wind Imperial Family. It would be easier for him to seize the throne and imperial power, reducing them to an ordinary family, which would meet the task's requirements.
"Well, decide now as I do not like waiting," - Yu Tian said, withdrawing the Supreme Ruler aura as Cang Wanhe was too weak to endure the pressure for long.
"Although you say you are giving us a choice, there is only one option," - Cang Wanhe said with a bitter smile. As an emperor, he was at the mercy of others and could do nothing about it.
"You should know that the Blue Wind Imperial Family is heading towards self-destruction without my intervention, but by swearing loyalty to me, I will ensure the Blue Wind Imperial Family's prosperity," - Yu Tian said, shrugging indifferently as Cang Wanhe should know this well.
"Well, I, Cang Wanhe, Blue Wind Emperor, accept your proposal, and the Blue Wind Imperial Family will be under your command," - Cang Wanhe said respectfully, clasping his hands towards Yu Tian.
"Good choice," - Yu Tian nodded in satisfaction and took out the Burning Soul Pills, tossing them to Dongfang Xiu - "Have him take this, and the poison will be removed."
"After the poison is removed, I will help you increase your strength," - Yu Tian said, stretching from his seated position - "And I advise you to deal with your children and Gu Qiuhong as they are the ones who poisoned you."
"I see..." - Cang Wanhe nodded, a flicker of killing intent in his eyes. He was a man who had killed his siblings to seize the throne and certainly wasn't kind-hearted, so there was no opposition to the idea of getting rid of his children.
"Your Majesty, please take the medicine," - Dongfang Xiu said after examining the Burning Soul Pills and ensuring there was nothing wrong with them.
Cang Wanhe did not hesitate to take the small red pill, which turned into liquid the moment it entered his mouth. He lost consciousness as his body and soul were separated, and the liquid quickly rushed to Cang Wanhe's heart to burn the Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite.
In three breaths, the Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite was burned away, and Cang Wanhe regained consciousness. Even his pale face looked better as he regained the vitality that had been absorbed by the Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite.
"Cough!! Cough!!..." - Cang Wanhe coughed violently twice, and a mass of black blood came out. He felt much better after expelling the black blood.
"Congratulations on your recovery," - Yu Tian smiled, standing up from the chair and spreading his purple wings - "I will leave now and return in a few days to help you increase your cultivation as you have just been cured and need a good rest."
"Goodbye," - Yu Tian left these words behind and flew into the sky to an unknown place.
