On the other side.

He Zhao had already returned to the dark dungeon.

The mysterious woman was currently sitting on the old-fashioned wooden armchair, looking at He Zhao who had suffered a setback with a faint smile.

"What? You came back in such a sorry state?" The woman looked at He Zhao thoughtfully. One of her legs was resting on the other, and she was holding her head with her hand.

"Jiang Yun was also present today." He Zhao smashed his fist on the metal candlestick beside him, his face full of anger.

"I know."

"Why didn't you come out together and help me kill him? Didn't you also want to kill him?" He Zhao was a little angry. He had obtained such powerful strength, yet he was still not a match for Jiang Yun.

"You are no match for him now. Of course, it's not appropriate for me to come out." The woman chuckled.

"Who exactly are you?" He Zhao looked at the woman in front of him seriously.

"You don't need to know who I am yet. You just need to know that you need to work for me now." The woman replied in a teasing voice.

"I don't like this feeling." He Zhao looked at the woman on the armchair with resentment.

"It's useless even if you don't like it. You've accepted my power, so you have to serve me... Hehe." The woman's voice in the darkness became a little cold.

Thump!

He Zhao flipped over the candlestick angrily. He dashed toward the woman on the armchair and grabbed her neck.

At this moment, He Zhao could finally see the woman's face clearly.

This woman had long dark red hair. Her eyes were cold with a hint of charm.

From this angle, he could clearly see the woman's excellent figure. Her slender legs were faintly discernible under the long black dress.

"I think you're a little too impulsive." The woman raised her head to look at the angry He Zhao. Strangely, this woman did not show any signs of fear. She only looked at He Zhao with an interesting expression. It was as if... She was watching a monkey play.

"I don't like the feeling of being ordered around."

He Zhao gritted his teeth in anger, as if he wanted to snap the woman's neck.

"Don't forget, this is a deal. You have no room to go back on your words..."the woman's expression instantly turned cold.

At this moment, He Zhao suddenly felt as if he had lost all his strength and could not move. In the next second, He Zhao felt a murderous intent in the woman's eyes.

He Zhao's hand that was originally holding the woman's neck was actually not listening to him. They were forcefully held behind him by an invisible force. His legs were also not listening to him, they forcefully knelt in front of the woman.

"Ugh..."

He Zhao tried his best to resist this invisible force. However, what followed was an increasingly painful feeling.

"Ugh ah... Ahhhhhh." A piercing pain spread throughout He Zhao's body.

The invisible force actually forced He Zhao to kneel directly on the cold floor.

"You... you..."

"What about me? ? I gave you strength, so naturally, I can make you useless. So you'd better consider the agreement between us."

The woman slightly bent down and pinched He Zhao's chin with her fingers.

"This face is also very handsome. It's the same even if you become a cripple..."

The woman slightly bent down and slowly moved closer to He Zhao's ear.

"It's also quite a pity, right?"

"You..."

At this time, He Zhao was already unable to say anything. He wanted to say something, but his mouth actually couldn't make any sound. He could only stammer and let out traces of a scream.

"So... can you think rationally now?" The woman looked at He Zhao in front of her.

He Zhao nodded in pain, but every time his body moved, he felt a sharp pain. It was as if countless man-eating ants swarmed onto his entire body, gnawing at it.

This woman... was too strong.

She could make him suffer such a painful torture without moving at all.

"It seems that you've thought it through, young master He."

In that instant, the invisible force disappeared, and He Zhao collapsed to the ground as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.

"The power I gave you... I believe you already have some understanding of it."

In fact, He Zhao already had some idea in his heart. The power that this woman gave him was like the Power of Blood Shadow that was rumored on the mainland. He didn't notice it at the beginning, but after he used that power, his thoughts became more and more certain. This power... Was very similar to the Power of Blood Shadow that was passed down decades ago.

"Didn't the Blood Shadow Sect disappear on the mainland decades ago?" He Zhao endured the pain and asked.

"That's just your opinion. The Blood Shadow sect has never disappeared from the mainland." The woman chuckled, "Did the Blood Shadow Sect really do something that was particularly ruthless and devoid of human feelings back then on the mainland? It was only out of the fear of the vast majority."

"You... burned, killed, and plundered. Isn't that considered ruthless and devoid of human feelings?"

"Burned, killed, and plundered? So that's what your older generations told you?" The woman seemed to have heard a great joke. "The Deity Sect still needs to find an excuse for the sins they've committed. How ridiculous."

"What do you mean?" He Zhao coughed twice and asked in confusion.

"The Deity Sect couldn't bear to see such a powerful force. They were afraid... They were afraid of this kind of force that they didn't understand. That's why they told you that the Power of Blood Shadow was obtained through continuous killing. This is all nonsense."

"What do you want to do? ? ?"

"I naturally have my own decisions. I'll tell you when the time is right. And now, you need to figure out your role and who you're working for."

"Alright... As long as you can kill Jiang Yun, I can help you."

"Then of course there's no problem... As long as you can figure it out yourself, then you'll naturally have a good ending..."

"So... think it through and cherish what you have now. Otherwise... I can let you have power, and I can also make you a cripple!"
