Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1878

Chapter 1878 Taking Ren Xia as Hostage

"How did they return so fast?! How long has it been since Ren Xia was kidnapped?" Ren Xia's father turned to look at the first messenger, who hesitated for a moment before responding, "After the Young Lady was abducted, we sort of panicked and went to search for her. After about an hour, we finally realized we had forgotten to send someone home to notify you…"

"She was abducted an hour ago?! You incompetent bastards!" Ren Xia's father roared.

Sometime later, Ren Xia's parents went to the courtyard to meet Tian Yang and Ren Xia.

When Ren Xia's parents laid eyes on Ren Xia's disheveled state—her torn clothes, messy hair, and bloodied face—their expressions contorted with rage.

Her mother gasped, fury and horror flashing in her eyes, while her father's face turned a deep shade of red, his aura surging with uncontrollable wrath.

"You bastard!" Patriarch Ren roared, his killing intent filling the area like a tidal wave. "I swear, if you so much as laid a finger on my daughter with your filthy hands—!"

Tian Yang looked at Ren Xia's appearance and sneered, "Don't worry, I didn't touch her—at least not in the way you're thinking. However, I had to rough her up before she would start listening to me. Anyway, it's a bit chilly out here. Why don't we go somewhere more private?"

"And what's stopping me from killing you on the spot?" Patriarch Ren responded.

"F-Father! Just listen to him! He poisoned me! If you kill him, I am as good as dead!" Ren Xia suddenly shouted, tears flowing down her face.

Tian Yang smiled and said, "You should listen to your daughter. If I don't feed her the antidote every hour, the poison will melt her body from the inside. For the record, she took the previous antidote half an hour ago."

"You fiend!" Her mother shouted.

Although Patriarch Ren wanted to kill Tian Yang on the spot, he couldn't let Ren Xia die. Thus, he reluctantly led Tian Yang to a private room.

"What are your demands?" Patriarch Ren asked Tian Yang as they stood several meters away from each other.

"Straight to the point, huh? I like it." Tian Yang smiled. "It's quite simple. In exchange for your daughter's life, I want the location of the Immortal Confinement Dungeon."

"What?! The Immortal Confinement Dungeon's location?! How do you know about that?!" Patriarch Ren exclaimed with a surprised face.

"Does it matter how I got the information? The only thing that matters right now is whether you're willing to exchange its location for your daughter's life."

"That information isn't something I can just give you! It's not that simple!" Patriarch Ren growled.

"What do you mean it's not that simple? It's just a prison for those who offended the Nine Immortal Clans, right? You make it sound like it's a treasure trove," Tian Yang shook his head.
