"Tie Yi, stop messing around with your tricks! Now we are all in the same boat, you don't want your Xingyu Clan to be annihilated by the Hua Hun Clan, right? Our common enemy now is the Hua Hun Clan, we can collaborate!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he spoke to Tie Yi.

"Oh!"

Tie Yi responded indifferently, her hatred for Duan Gujin had not diminished much.

"What do you mean we're in the same boat?"

She was still harboring a grudge against Duan Gujin for attacking her when she was gravely wounded.

In her heart, she felt that Duan Gujin had won dishonorably!

Therefore, she naturally did not show any good face to Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin also knew in his heart that the fact he controlled Tie Yi would sooner or later be exposed, and by then, he would have his own ways to deal with it.

"Tie Yi, if you dare play tricks, I will play you to death!"

Looking at Tie Yi, the corner of Duan Gujin's mouth twitched, as he thought of a venomous scheme.

He originally didn't want to treat Tie Yi this way, but he knew that although he had obtained her person, he could never win over her heart.

Even though he had controlled Tie Yi's Soul Seat with the Soul Transformation Seal, it only made her reluctantly stay by his side.

Duan Gujin was also very afraid that Tie Yi would launch a sudden attack on him; he was well aware that Tie Yi was a genuine Martial Emperor Realm martial artist, and the gap in strength between them was not small.

In Duan Gujin's heart, Tie Yi was always a hidden threat by his side.

If this hidden threat didn't erupt, then it was somewhat bearable.

But if this hidden threat did erupt, it would doom not just him, but also those Qiankun Continent martial artists who were temporarily safe.

Upon entering the treasure vault, Duan Gujin finally laid eyes on the treasure that both Queen Her Majesty and Tie Yi had talked about.

When he saw the treasure, his face changed dramatically, and his heart started to pound violently.

"So, this is an Immortal Treasure!"

His figure flashed, rushing to the front of the treasure. After his Divine Sense confirmed the safety of the treasure, he picked it up and turned his Divine Sense inward to investigate.

After a while, a joyful look appeared on his face.

"Haha, fortune really favors me!"

Seeing the look of surprise and joy on Duan Gujin's face, Tie Yi's expression darkened suddenly, and a bad premonition flashed through her heart.

Now she was in an adversarial relationship with Duan Gujin. If his strength increased, it meant that she would be controlled by him from now on, which was definitely not the outcome she wanted to see.

"Duan Gujin, why are you so happy?"

Tie Yi quickly asked.

"Tie Yi, you are now my maidservant. From now on, you should call me master! Call me master quickly!"

Duan Gujin said suddenly and coldly.

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Tie Yi's expression darkened drastically.

Naturally, she was completely unwilling in her heart; she didn't want to call Duan Gujin master at all!

"Duan Gujin, forgive me but I cannot comply!"

Tie Yi flatly refused.

"Then I should make you suffer a bit!"

Duan Gujin's inner spirit moved, and he quickly activated the Soul Transformation Seal to coerce Tie Yi.

The next moment, Tie Yi felt as if ten thousand needles had been thrust into her head, causing unbearable pain.

"Ah! It hurts so much!"

She cried out miserably; beads of sweat the size of soybeans quickly appeared on her forehead, and her facial expression twisted in agony.

A few moments later, her body started to shiver uncontrollably, and even foam appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Duan Gujin, looking at Tie Yi convulsing on the ground, knew she could no longer bear it and withdrew his Divine Thought.

After no longer feeling the pain, Tie Yi finally came back to her senses.

Her eyes looking towards Duan Gujin were still filled with hatred, but now there was a hint of fear.

"I just sensed your Killing Thought towards me remains, so continue to endure the pain!"

Duan Gujin sneered coldly, knowing that he had to show Tie Yi who was boss.

The reason she had been so defiant and duplicitous was that she believed he had captured her using a stealth attack, a very despicable method.

Therefore, she had been looking down on him with utter disdain and contempt, not taking him seriously at all.

Duan Gujin knew that if he didn't crush Tie Yi's spirit decisively, she would definitely not obey his commands in the future.

Now he was in an environment surrounded by formidable enemies, and his own power was still very weak. If Tie Yi continued her defiance, trouble would ensue sooner or later.

Duan Gujin didn't want to keep this threat by his side, but for the time being, he had no choice but to rely on Tie Yi to help accomplish what he wanted to do.

He knew beforehand that Tie Yi had an extraordinary relationship with the Princess, and it seemed she was the only one from the Xingyu Clan who could get close to the Princess.

So, Duan Gujin thought of giving Tie Yi a warning to make her behave from now on.

"What do you want?"

Finally unable to bear the pain, Tie Yi hurriedly asked.

"Call me master!"

Duan Gujin insisted.

"Alright, master!"

Tie Yi felt aggrieved, but after thinking it over, she decided there was no need to engage in a verbal confrontation with him.

So, she briskly called Duan Gujin "master."

"Tie Yi, from now on, no matter in front of anyone, including in front of the Queen, you must call me master! Understand?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered with a hint of sharpness as he spoke lightly.

Hearing this, Tie Yi's complexion instantly turned ashen; she couldn't bear the thought of calling Duan Gujin "master" in front of the Queen, as it was a complete trampling of her dignity.

At this moment, she wished she could strike at Duan Gujin, even if it meant perishing together; she was ready to pay any price.

"Ah!"

But the next moment, a burst of intense pain spread, and she fell prostrate on the ground again, her limbs twitching, as foam continuously spilled from the corners of her mouth.

This time, Duan Gujin did not cease; he watched coldly, feeling that with Tie Yi's strength, she could endure quite a bit longer.

If he couldn't completely subjugate Tie Yi's heart today, he would face a significant hidden danger in the future.

What he needed to do now was to thoroughly torment Tie Yi and completely break her spirit.

Duan Gujin thought of using harsher methods to deal with Tie Yi, but after thinking hard, he couldn't come up with anything that would truly terrify her.

His eyes shimmered, then he realized that Tie Yi would likely be very unwilling to betray the Queen.

For someone utterly loyal to betray their own master was worse than death!

Duan Gujin believed Tie Yi was indeed a loyal minister, and now he realized it would be truly difficult to change her deeply rooted beliefs.

"How can I make her completely turn away from the Queen?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, and soon, he thought of a way.

Duan Gujin withdrew his Divine Thought and no longer pressured Tie Yi.

An hour later, Tie Yi finally recovered, looking pale and bloodless, the memories of what had transpired leaving her with lingering fears.

"Tie Yi, come with me for a walk outside. If anyone from the Xingyu Clan spots us, you don't have to kill them. I believe in your strength; it's possible to not kill them and still keep them from approaching us," Duan Gujin said indifferently.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

After regaining her senses, Tie Yi's mind whirled, sensing that Duan Gujin had a deep conspiracy in mind.

But what was that conspiracy?

She couldn't figure it out yet.

"Just do what I say! No more useless talk! When we go out for a walk in a while, if any from the Xingyu Clan discover us, just drive them away!" Duan Gujin's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he looked at Tie Yi.

Tie Yi felt a surge of dread, sensing that the task Duan Gujin wanted her to do next was undoubtedly laden with deep scheming.

But what exactly the scheme was, she was, at that moment, unable to figure out.
