Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 121: Fairy Descends to Hell

"There are various signs indicating that the Body Nurturing Furnace is an imitation of the ancient treasure, the Life Nurturing Furnace. There is no doubt about it, and there is no need for you to argue with me."

"If you want to exchange for the Body Nurturing Furnace, it's possible. I won't make it difficult for you. You just need to bring a Heaven Grade top-grade magic treasure."

Holding Jiang Baiye, Han Li spoke softly in her ear, his tone calm but very domineering.

Jiang Baiye trembled all over upon hearing this. This bastard was too shameless.

There was no way she could bring a Heaven Grade top-grade magic treasure to exchange for the Body Nurturing Furnace. Not to mention whether the Body Nurturing Furnace was really an imitation of the Life Nurturing Furnace, she couldn't even possess a Heaven Grade top-grade magic treasure.

That was a weapon used by the Martial Emperor of the Divine Origin Realm. It was probably impossible to find one in the entire Great Qian Dynasty, let alone the Canghai Sect.

If the Canghai Sect had a Heaven Grade top-grade magic treasure, it would have long been the number one sect in the Great Qian Dynasty, occupying half of its territory.

Jiang Baiye fell silent, but Han Li continued, "You can't bring it out, right? Then bring yourself as the exchange. You only have these two choices."

Jiang Baiye's mind trembled.

"I heard that the Canghai Sect hasn't been doing well recently. The Extreme Wind Hall and several other major sects in Qingzhou are targeting you. Even the Great Qian Dynasty is putting pressure on you, tsk tsk."

"You valued the sect so much, but you took the risk to come find me. Why, can't let go now? Is it because you can't bear to part with yourself, or because the Canghai Sect doesn't hold enough weight in your heart?"

Han Li's words were sharp, like sharp heavenly blades, piercing Jiang Baiye's heart.

"Hoo~"

Jiang Baiye took a deep breath. She had anticipated this when she came, but she still came, hoping to exchange with other treasures, but she failed.

This bastard Han Li was clearly trying to make her exchange herself for the Body Nurturing Furnace. What was even more shameless was that he not only wanted to obtain her body but also her heart.

But now, Jiang Baiye found that she seemed to have no choice left.

Her cultivation was sealed and fell into Han Li's hands. She couldn't resist whatever Han Li wanted to do, like being embraced by this bastard now.

If she agreed to Han Li, she could exchange for the Body Nurturing Furnace. If she didn't agree, she couldn't get the Body Nurturing Furnace back, and she herself would be trapped in Han Li's hands.

What should I do?

Jiang Baiye murmured in her heart, struggling and feeling extremely conflicted.

The weight of the Canghai Sect in her heart was indeed very important, but was she not important herself?

Once she agreed, she would lose her freedom in this lifetime, and both her body and mind would belong to this bastard Han Li. It was probably impossible for her to return to the Canghai Sect.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Jiang Baiye's mind, and she immediately said in a deep voice, "Han Li, don't go too far. You should know that this is Qingzhou, and our Canghai Sect is the number one sect in Qingzhou."

"If I go missing, my master will definitely find out. When he investigates and finds out about you, he will report it to the sect leader, and the sect leader will definitely come looking for trouble with you."

"Never mind whether your strength can match that of my sect's Grand Elder. Once you engage in a major battle, your identity will be exposed. Don't forget what you have done under other identities. Once exposed, the forces behind the Great Qian Dynasty and even the Eternal Mother will come after you. Can you handle it?"

Jiang Baiye said a lot, her words full of threats. She breathed a sigh of relief, almost being intimidated by Han Li.

Previously, her cultivation was instantly sealed, then Han Li made advances towards her and proposed a series of conditions, completely controlling the situation and confusing her. She almost resigned herself to her fate.

After coming to her senses, Jiang Baiye thought for a moment and immediately discovered a loophole. This loophole was crucial for Han Li and related to his other identities.

Han Li liked to hide his true abilities and kept them deeply concealed. She didn't know what disguises he had used, but once one was exposed, the others might be exposed one after another.

She was certain that Han Li would never want his identity to be exposed, as it would bring him great trouble. Neither the Great Qian Dynasty nor the mysterious forces were something Han Li could contend with.

Although Han Li was a Grandmaster in the Myriad Manifestations Realm, he was still far behind the Great Qian Dynasty and the mysterious forces.

Jiang Baiye didn't know if her Master knew that she had come to find Han Li, but it didn't matter. She wanted to say it out loud to increase her bargaining power and intimidate Han Li.

When Han Li heard this, a strange expression appeared on his face, but Jiang Baiye was being held in his arms and couldn't see his expression.

Han Li didn't speak. Jiang Baiye thought he had been intimidated and decided to press on, saying, "Now you have only one choice, let me go and hand over the Life-Preserving Furnace to me."

"I will safely bring back the Life-Preserving Furnace and guarantee that your identity will not be exposed. You can continue to live your carefree life. Otherwise..."

"Wait." Han Li interrupted her.

"Han Li, this is your best choice. Don't think about a desperate struggle. It's not good for both of us."

"Without the Life-Preserving Furnace, the Canghai Sect will not be destroyed in an instant, but without you, can the Han Family still exist?"

"Han Li, you don't want your identity to be exposed, do you?"

Jiang Baiye sneered continuously, with a confident expression on her face.

"Jiang Baiye, you are too happy too soon."

Han Li waved his hand, and a body was brought over from a distance and placed in front of Jiang Baiye.

Jiang Baiye was still puzzled as to why Han Li said this, but when she saw the unconscious figure in front of her, she was struck as if by lightning, and her face instantly turned pale.

"I may not know this person, but I think you must know him."

"Tsk tsk, an Empty Void Realm Grandmaster following behind you, it seems that he is protecting you. Could this be your Master?"

Feeling the trembling of the delicate body in his arms, Han Li continued speaking, every word making Jiang Baiye more desperate.

After a moment of thought, Jiang Baiye realized why her Master had followed her. Her Master acted out of good intentions but ruined everything.

She hadn't told her Master about coming to find Han Li, but she expected her Master to investigate after she went missing and trace it back to Han Li. This was her trump card to threaten Han Li.

But now her trump card was gone, and even her Master had been captured by Han Li. Her previous threats to Han Li seemed so empty and powerless.

Thinking about the threats and intimidation she had just made, Han Li fell silent, and Jiang Baiye felt a wave of embarrassment and shame. Was that bastard Han Li just laughing at her?

She and her master were both in Han Li's hands, and Han Li had no risk of exposure. Her confidence was instantly drained, and she didn't know how to face Han Li's coercion.

Feeling the strangeness of the woman in his arms, Han Li knew he had guessed correctly. This Empty Void Realm grandmaster was indeed Jiang Baiye's master.

It was a pity that Jiang Baiye's master was not a beautiful female cultivator, otherwise, he would have to consider keeping this master-disciple pair.

"Jiang Baiye, you don't want your master to die in front of you, do you?"

"Jiang Baiye, you don't want me to take advantage of you in front of your master, do you?"

"Jiang Baiye, your master is right in front of you. If I were to do something to you..."

Thinking of the scene where Jiang Baiye had threatened him earlier, Han Li used her words against her, following her tone.

Jiang Baiye pursed her lips. She really wanted to scold this bastard loudly, but looking at her unconscious master lying in front of her, she couldn't bring herself to say those words.

This bastard was shameless, but he was indeed ruthless and capable of doing these things.

"Your master must have informed the sect leader before leaving. If we disappear or die, the sect leader will definitely come after you. Your identity will still be exposed."

Jiang Baiye struggled to say, but even she had no confidence in her words.

She knew that her master would almost certainly not inform the sect leader before leaving the sect. There was no need for that. If Han Li killed her master and took her away, it would take some time for the sect leader to notice.

By the time the sect leader started investigating, it would be too late. Han Li would have already fled to Yuanchou.

And with the loss of an heir to the sect and an Empty Void Realm grandmaster, it would have a very negative impact. Other forces would take advantage of the situation, and the Canghai Sect would be even more dangerous.

She came here to retrieve the Body Nurturing Furnace and help stabilize the Canghai Sect, not to accelerate its demise.

"Do you believe that?" Han Li sneered.

"You seem to have overlooked the most crucial point, strength is the most important."

"Before the sect leader of the Canghai Sect discovers, I can choose to join forces with the Jifeng Hall and kill him. Without the sect leader, can your Canghai Sect still exist? Your master will also die here."

Thinking of the situation described by Han Li, Jiang Baiye felt despair.

She knew that this kind of thing was very likely to happen. Han Li would definitely do it to eliminate hidden dangers.

After intimidating Jiang Baiye, Han Li decided to move forward together and painted a rosy picture for her, softening his tone.

"Baiye, if you wholeheartedly follow me, I will marry you officially and give you the status of a wife. I will never treat you unfairly."

"Your talent is very good, but the Canghai Sect is too small. It's difficult to cultivate you to the Myriad Manifestations Realm. But if you follow me, achieving the Myriad Manifestations Realm will be effortless, and breaking through to the True Martial Realm in the future will also be possible."

"You can take the Body Nurturing Furnace back, your master won't die, the sect leader won't die, and the Canghai Sect won't be destroyed. You can also advance to the Myriad Manifestations Realm and the True Martial Realm. Isn't this a beautiful future to think about?"

"Once you reach the True Martial realm in the future, you will be able to contribute to the Canghai Sect and help your master ascend to the Myriad Manifestations Realm. The Daqian Dynasty will not dare to do anything to the Canghai Sect, and it is only a matter of time before the Canghai Sect becomes the number one sect in the Daqian Dynasty."

"All of this, you only need to nod lightly, and you can have everything. Everything is within your thoughts."

Han Li gently embraced Jiang Baiye and did not make any further moves, softly speaking into her ear.

Feeling Jiang Baiye trembling, Han Li sighed inwardly. He didn't want to force or entice the beauty into submission, but if he didn't, how could someone as outstanding as Jiang Baiye marry him?

With the strength he displayed to the outside world, he could easily take in many beauties with lower aptitude, but it was difficult to marry high-quality female cultivators.

In the past, it was necessary for him to be a diligent farmer, cultivating fertile soil. Now that his strength had grown, he had choices.

He wanted to pursue those high-quality female cultivators, focusing on quality rather than quantity.

He also wanted to not only obtain high-quality female cultivators as wives but also win their hearts. Otherwise, what would be the difference between them, who had their cultivation sealed, and those concubines who were offered to him?

Unable to help Han Li in other aspects, they could only become tools for him to propagate his descendants. Why would Han Li waste so much effort to capture these high-quality female cultivators?

"Ah, when will high-quality female cultivators actively pursue him and offer themselves to him?"

Han Li sighed again, but he also knew that this kind of thing was almost impossible to happen, at least not for the next few decades.

His displayed cultivation was still not enough to make these high-quality female cultivators actively come to him as wives and concubines.

Female cultivators with good aptitude, high appearance, great reputation, and high cultivation were all proud and would not do such a thing unless Han Li could offer them too much.

Jiang Baiye remained silent, her body trembling. She looked at her unconscious master lying in front of her and thought about the possible destruction of the Canghai Sect because of her. She was very tempted to agree.

Perhaps agreeing was indeed a good choice.

Just as Han Li described, as long as she agreed, everything would become beautiful.

However, this would make her lose her freedom, and her body and mind would be bound to Han Li. So Jiang Baiye was torn between conflicting thoughts, with two little figures in her mind constantly presenting the pros and cons.

"Now, state your choice!"

Without giving Jiang Baiye too much time to consider, Han Li knew that he had to strike while the iron was hot. He turned Jiang Baiye around, stared into her eyes, and said calmly.

Jiang Baiye looked into Han Li's eyes, pursed her lips, and finally lowered her head, whispering four words that were barely audible.

A smile appeared on Han Li's face instantly.

Jiang Baiye, the Sword Immortal who had once been released by him, was now in his hands again. After using some methods, he finally forced Jiang Baiye to agree.

Although Jiang Baiye didn't have feelings for him at the moment, Han Li believed that her attitude would gradually change after they had a relationship and she became pregnant with his child.

Give him some time, and Han Li believed he could completely capture Jiang Baiye's heart.

After all, once Jiang Baiye agreed, she would understand that it was only a matter of time. She had no room for regret.
