Chapter 581: Yunyan Lowers Her Head, A Thrilling Battle! (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets!)
Thus, until the last moment, Liu Yu would not choose the two extremes.
Threats may be seen as shameful by some cultivators, but they are undeniably effective!
As long as the goal can be achieved, Liu Yu does not mind using any means.
In this cruel world of cultivating immortality, one must exhaust every possible means to strengthen oneself to ultimately dominate one's fate.
Dozens of miles away, Mu Yunyan, who showed a delighted expression upon seeing her teammates, suddenly froze at Liu Yu's words!
Although she was prepared to pay some price to gain her teammates' forgiveness by luring demonic cultivators to them, she did not expect Liu Yu to take advantage of the situation so openly.
Moreover, to make such a decision in such a short time, he must have been plotting for a long time, already coveting the "Dream of Shadows Heart Sutra."
This was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment idea!
"Friend Qingyang, can we negotiate another condition? I am willing to offer a magical treasure in exchange for your forgiveness."
"The 'Dream of Shadows Heart Sutra' is a secret of our sect and comes with a Primordial Spirit Restriction upon being taught."
"If it is privately passed on, I would have to pay a terrifying price, possibly damaging my golden core or severing my path!"
"Considering that I am just a weak woman, I hope you can show mercy~"
Her smile slightly faltered but quickly returned to normal. Mu Yunyan's eyes darted as she rapidly transmitted her voice.
Her words were filled with a pitiful tone.
What she said was half true and half false; it was not entirely a lie.
In normal circumstances, passing on the "Dream of Shadows Heart Sutra" privately would indeed incur a very terrifying price.
But Mu Yunyan had already cultivated the sutra to a very profound level, enough to break part of the restrictions set by the Snowfall Pavilion and reduce the cost to a relatively minor level.
Yet, no matter how small, it would still harm her golden core, and if severe, it could even affect her path.
As a Golden Core Elder of the Snowfall Pavilion, having lived in the sect for hundreds of years, how could she not feel guilty about doing something to leak the sect's secrets?
Just thinking about it made her feel a sense of guilt that she could not deceive her own heart.
"Influencing my path?"
"Showing mercy?"
Liu Yu coldly smiled in his heart, remaining unmoved, and immediately transmitted back:
"Since Miss Yunyan has said so, I am also in a difficult position."
"You brought demonic cultivators here privately, and both Daoist Gao and Daoist Zhuo are likely not inclined to continue accepting you."
"As for the current crisis..."
In his spiritual sense transmission, he left his words unfinished, providing enough room for her imagination.
He had never underestimated female cultivators, so feelings of pity or softness did not exist.
In the realm of law cultivation, female cultivators are on par with male cultivators, with no disadvantage whatsoever.
If he were to show softness due to her appearance, he would undoubtedly suffer a significant loss in the future; the "Summary of Demonic Cultivation" recorded numerous such examples.
As for her claim of affecting her path, Liu Yu was only half-convinced, but this did not hinder his actions.
"Friend Qingyang, I have been raised in the sect since childhood and have deep feelings for it; it is truly difficult for me to do anything that harms the interests of the sect."
"Since you are also a sect cultivator, I believe you can understand..."
Mu Yunyan was quite eloquent, and when one plan failed, she came up with another.
She attempted to appeal to Liu Yu by discussing the complex emotions of being a sect cultivator, hoping to gain his understanding and negotiate a lighter condition.
Unfortunately, she chose the wrong target.
As she saw the two men and three demonic beasts getting closer, Liu Yu had no interest in her lengthy speech and unceremoniously issued his ultimatum:
