Duan Gujin's eyes flickered with uncertainty; he knew that the Xingyu Clan and the Hua Hun Clan had both suffered heavy losses, which was naturally a great thing for him.

But if the Xingyu Clan were indeed completely defeated, then he would have to face the full onslaught of the Hua Hun Clan.

After all, he had previously killed the grandson of the Hua Hun Clan Patriarch, and he believed the Patriarch must detest him to death.

"Damn it! Here on the Fire Cloud Continent, the three major species are all not very friendly towards the Human Clan. Relatively speaking, only the Xingyu Clan is slightly more amicable. The Netherworld Dark Clan and the Hua Hun Clan, upon seeing someone from the Human Clan, would immediately call for a fight!"

Duan Gujin understood that from the perspective of maintaining a balance of power, he could not allow the Xingyu Clan to be annihilated.

His brow furrowed deeply; he knew that his own power alone was clearly insufficient to change the entire situation.

"Can your Xingyu Clan withstand the Hua Hun Clan's assault?"

After a while, Duan Gujin asked Tie Yi.

Tie Yi replied, "Our Xingyu Clan is strong and capable enough to withstand the Hua Hun Clan's assault!"

"Do you truly have such confidence?"

Duan Gujin cocked his head and looked at Tie Yi.

Tie Yi's complexion suddenly turned pale; she could see the disdain in Duan Gujin's gaze.

"It was because you attacked me when I was severely injured; otherwise, you would have never had the chance to defeat me! If you have the guts, then lift my Soul Transformation Seal and let's have a fair duel! As long as you can defeat me, you won't need the Soul Transformation Seal to win my heart!"

Tie Yi's eyelids rapidly blinked a few times as she spoke.

Duan Gujin looked down at Tie Yi with contempt and said indifferently, "Don't think that goading me will get me to release you. Do not harbour such thoughts! I caught you by my own strength, why should I let you go? Abandon all your delusions!"

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Tie Yi was furious to the point of exploding, but upon reflection, she abandoned the thought of lashing out.

She knew if she lost her temper, Duan Gujin would probably make her suffer!

She was very clear that right now, Duan Gujin, with the help of the Soul Transformation Seal, had control over her Soul Seat; she wasn't just unable to resist, but if Duan Gujin wished to torment her, it would only take a mere thought.

The sensation of being viciously stabbed in the head with ten thousand silver needles, she truly did not wish to experience it a second time.

Despite not rebutting his words, Duan Gujin still had little trust in her; his mind whirled as he contemplated his next move.

"Do you worry about the well-being of your Xingyu Clan?"

After a moment, Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly brightened, and he thought of a plan.

"I worry! I am truly very worried about the Xingyu Clan! I am also very worried about our Queen!"

Tie Yi's eyes flickered; she guessed that Duan Gujin must want her to go back and see the Queen.

If that was the case, then this time, she would decide to truly follow his request to see the Queen.

Her intention was simple; she wanted to make use of the Queen to get rid of Duan Gujin.

"I need to give the Queen some hints first, hoping she can understand my message!"

Tie Yi exhaled a breath of turbid air; previously, she had been very unwilling to meet the Queen, but now she had changed her mind.

"I hope the Queen can understand what I'm hinting at! With her decisive action, I can escape this torment!"

She didn't realize that the changes in her facial expressions had all been noticed by Duan Gujin, and he immediately understood.

"This Tie Yi is really persistent! The Soul Transformation Seal might be able to control a person, but to completely dominate them is almost impossible!"

Duan Gujin had heard about the Soul Transformation Seal before and knew of Martial Artists who had used very clever methods to give hints to other Martial Artists.

In the end, those Martial Artists had slain the owner of the Soul Transformation Seal and freed the controlled Martial Artist.

He had previously judged from the changes in Tie Yi's facial expressions that she was very likely to think of doing so, and he was just speechless.

Of course, he would not grant her wish!

Right now, his thought was to prevent Tie Yi from having more contact with the Xingyu Clan, lest she leave them any clues.

Duan Gujin pondered for a good while; he knew he had been lucky enough before to easily control Tie Yi using the Soul Transformation Seal.

But the opponent he was going to face next was the Queen herself. In terms of strength, they were two Great Realms apart.

Duan Gujin was even more worried that the Queen might have some bizarre Dark Weapon or terrifying innate abilities. By then, if he tried to steal a chicken only to lose his rice, he wouldn't want to see such a result.

Therefore, he was extremely cautious.

After a while, Duan Gujin suddenly thought of a question.

"Tie Yi, is your Queen married?"

He hurriedly inquired of Tie Yi.

"No! Our Queen is very busy; she has absolutely no time to think about men!"

Tie Yi honestly replied.

"Oh! Then does your Queen have an emperor father or empress mother?"

Duan Gujin continued to ask.

"No, our Queen's emperor father and empress mother died tragically long ago, killed by people from the Netherworld Dark Clan!"

"Oh, I see!"

Duan Gujin nodded slightly, responding.

"What are you plotting?"

Tie Yi thought for a moment and felt that Duan Gujin's questions were surely ill-inspired.

As soon as she said this, she remembered how she was captured by him. Her heart began to beat violently—she didn't want the Queen to repeat her own mistakes.

If it were possible to prevent it, she would definitely try everything to stop it.

Indeed, just as she had guessed, Duan Gujin wanted to start with someone close to the Queen and then capture the Queen without spilling blood.

But after hearing what Tie Yi said, he then realized that the Queen had no parents, was not married, and didn't even have a boyfriend.

"Doesn't she have someone by her side whom she truly trusts?"

Duan Gujin suddenly became interested.

Sweat the size of soybeans appeared on Tie Yi's forehead, and her facial expression twisted.

Seeing the expression on Tie Yi's face, Duan Gujin guessed that she must have the intention to kill him again.

He was already accustomed to this kind of thinking from her, and now he just sneered and quietly watched her suffer.

After a while, seeing that Tie Yi's complexion had improved somewhat, he hurriedly asked, "Why did you just experience pain? Tie Yi, can you tell me?"

Duan Gujin knew that those controlled by the Soul Transformation Seal would be punished if they tried to deliberately hide something.

From her previous pained facial expression, he deduced that she must have concealed some things.

Tie Yi wanted not to speak, but she couldn't stand the severe pain.

With no other choice, she could only tell Duan Gujin the truth.

"The Queen, she once told me that I am the only one she truly trusts!"
