Chapter 1642: "Compensation"

All six of the present Witches were thoroughly angered, their dark might silently spread out, and all of their long hair floated up.

Chi Wuyao strictly ordered that no one is to hurt Yun Che, but this order did indeed only include Yun Che, and had never mentioned anyone beside him.

Having their bottom line broken like this, no matter how great their self control was, it was still intolerable. When five breaths of time had passed, and Qianye Ying'er still refused to hand over the profound image stone, they would definitely take action.

Just as the tension was about to explode, Yun Che suddenly said in a bland voice, "Qianying, give the Profound Image Stone to her."

His words immediately attracted the Witches gaze and attention. The tense atmosphere also relaxed a bit.

Qianye Ying'er didn't move at all and coldly said: "If they obediently beg me for it, i don't mind giving it right away. But these so called Witches who are not even aware of their position… "

"Give it to her!" Yun Che didn't even let her finish her sentence.

Qianye Ying'er's brows moved slightly, and she did not continue speaking. Under the stunned gaze of the crowd, she took out an ordinary Profound Image Stone and threw it at Witch Chanyi.

Chanyi grabbed it and sent her profound sense through it. Then, with a "bang", the Profound Image Stone shattered into pieces in her hands, turning into black smoke and dust, before it completely disappeared from the world.

Every Witch began to withdraw their aura and their gazes simultaneously fell upon Yun Che.

Although the Soul Stealing Realm was in the Northern Divine Region, the name of the Brahma  Monarch Goddess was still like thunder to their ears. In the Eastern Divine Region, she practically had the same strength and status as a God Emperor, and her future was set as well.

And in a sense, the title of "Goddess" was even higher than the God Emperor's. Because there were a dozen God Emperor's, but there was only one "Goddess".

Even if she was crippled, she still had the qualifications to look down upon a Witch. The intensity of her temperament was also similar to the rumours.

Yet, she was so "obedient" in front of Yun Che!?

In the centre of the Soul Stealing Realm, facing the combined pressure of six great Witches, she faced them arrogantly. But Yun Che had only said two simple words... And she handed it over like that?

Most of the Witches understanding of the Brahma Monarch Goddess came from the Devil Queen. And one of the characteristics that the Devil Queen, Chi Wuyao, had towards the Brahma Monarch Goddess was that she viewed everything under heaven as stray dogs.

However, the person in front of them didn't match this description at all.

"Only this one." Yun Che said: "Furthermore, I have never seen it before, and have never shown it to anyone else. You can be at ease."

Indeed, he had never seen this Profound Image Stone's profound image. As for the matter before the image was taken… This was a different matter.

"Be at ease?" The third Witch, Ye Li, slowly walked forward. She was the leader of the six Witches present, and this concerned their dignity and honour, so she had to be the first to speak out, "Yun Che, I can trust your words. But this humiliation, could it be resolved simply by returning the Profound Image Stone? If this were to happen to the woman beside you, would you be relieved!? "

As she finished speaking, she stopped moving forward. Under the pitch black fog, her eyes trembled slightly.

Spiritual pressure... It had nothing to do with Cultivation Level and aura, rather it came from the suppression of a higher level.

As a Witch, within the Northern Divine Region, the only ones who could make them truly feel spiritual pressure in a direct confrontation were the three God Emperor's, Yama, Burning Moon, and the Soul Stealing.

However, every time she looked at Yun Che's eyes, she would feel a pressure that could directly suppress her soul. Just like a servant, when facing an emperor that was descending from the heavens, the uncontrollable oppression and reverence that arose from the depths of one's soul which couldn't be controlled.

Standing just before him, the oppressive feeling was several times stronger than before.

When the Witches were close by, their minds and hearts could be linked at any time. This feeling, she wasn't the only who felt it.

All of the Witches looked at Qian Yeyinger with cold eyebrows. But every time they faced Yun Che, their aura would instantly decrease by a few degrees… This was definitely not because of the Devil Queen's orders.

"Right!" Yu Wu said angrily: "Your secret was discovered, you were the ones who were careless, what does that have to do with Chanyi! She has never done anything to make things difficult for you all. She has even helped you all, yet you all have repaid her kindness with enmity and done such excessive things! How can we just let it go like this!"

"Heh." Qianye Ying'er returned a cold smile.

"This matter should wait until Master returns." The silent Lan Ting opened her mouth, her soft words stealthily eased the atmosphere, "Master puts lot of importance to our honour and disgrace, we will not let this matter go. Since she has invited Brahma Goddess here, it is definitely impossible for us to succeed. "

"No." However, Qing Ying shook her head and her eyes turned cold, "How can we trouble Master with something that is within our capabilities? Furthermore..."

Her voice lowered a bit, as if she was transmitting her voice, but she didn't mind Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er hearing: "Master hasn't shown herself yet, and probably wants us to settle this matter ourselves. After all, the only person Master truly invited was Yun Che. As for this Brahma Monarch Goddess… This is our problem."

What Qing Ying said caused the expression of every Witch to change.

"Oh?" Qianye Ying'er said with a smile that was not a smile. Her eyes gradually became hazy, and the voice from her lips became lazy: "Then what are you planning to do?"

"That depends on you." Ye Li coldly said, "Give us an explanation that will make us speechless. Otherwise... I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out of the Soul Stealing Heaven in one piece! "

"Hahahaha!" Qianye Ying'er laughed out wildly. She swept her arm across and her golden hair danced in the air as specks of black star instantly condensed in her fingertip. "I have killed countless people that have wished to harm me. But no one has ever been able to take back even a little bit from me!" (1)

"Just based on a few insignificant Witches like you, you think you're qualified?!"

If, they were to mutually step back, and use the Devil Queen's personal invitation as a turning point, this matter might really be resolved peacefully.

But who was Qianye Ying'er? Even if she was crippled, that her appearance as the 'Goddess' that was deeply imprinted in her bones wouldn't allow her to bow her head to any person. ②

Her words, had undoubtedly aroused the anger of all the Witches. Even the most mild mannered Lan Ting had a cold light in her eyes.

"You're right. This is indeed our fault."

A cold and detached voice forcefully stopped the outburst of the Witches. Because, the one who said this, was Yun Che.

Under their astonished gazes, Yun Che continued, "Back then, the two of us fled to the Northern Divine Region, we did not expect to meet a Witch in a Middle Star Realm.

"The two of us are both wild ghosts that have just survived a calamity. We would not believe in anyone, let alone be controlled by anyone. So, in order to protect ourselves, we used a despicable method against Nanhuang Chanyi."

Yun Che raised his gaze, and looked straight at the Witches. "The reason why we have come here today is to cooperate with your Soul Stealing Realm. Since we are going to cooperate, there shouldn't exist any sort of grudge between us. For this matter, I will naturally compensate you. "

All the Witches were startled for a moment, as if they found it hard to believe that this terrifying person who released this strange spiritual pressure, who made the arrogant Brahma Monarch Goddess obediently listen to him, would actually say such words.

Qianye Ying'er frowned, and laughed coldly: "That Yan Sangang from yesterday, you didn't even say anything before directly killing him. Today, they were so aggressive, yet you directly submit? The difference between the way you treat men and women is really the same as always!"

Qianye Ying'er' words seemed to express her dissatisfaction and disdain, but in reality, her words were a reminder, Yun Che doesn't usually use words, even the Yama Ghost King was directly butchered.

Moreover, it was only one sword strike!

A strange silence appeared on the Soul Stealing Heaven, and after three breaths, a Witch finally spoke up. The Eighth Witch, Yu Wu's face was still filled with anger as she shouted with vigour, "Compensation? How are you going to compensate us! Who knows… Who knows if you peeked back then! This is not only a matter of Chanyi, but also us nine sisters joint matter!"

"The attitude of this Brahma Monarch Goddess who did this kind of thing is so vile, we will definitely not forgive her!"

"My name is Yun Qianying!" Qianye Ying'er's gaze and voice had become somewhat colder, "If you continue to say my name incorrectly, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The title of Brahma Monarch Goddess was once the most supreme title of women in the world.(?) But the current Qianye Ying'er, every single time she thought about it and heard these four words, would feel a sense of ridicule… Even shame.

"Since I said I would compensate you, I will naturally satisfy you." Yun Che said flatly, his gaze sweeping across the six of them, and suddenly asked: "You Nine Witches, are ranked by strength?"

Even though they didn't know why he asked this question, Nanhuang Chanyi still said, "It's not entirely correct. But the current generation is like that. "

"In other words, you are weaker than the Eighth Witch?" Yun Che asked.

The Ninth Witch, Chanyi, and the Eighth Witch, Yu Wu were both 8th Level Divine Master's, but in terms of aura, Yu Wu was clearly stronger than Chanyi.

"Right." Chanyi did not hesitate to reply.

Yu Wu quickly said: "The time since Chanyi inherited the Goddess's power is too short. It will take her at most another thousand years, but she can definitely surpass me."

"A thousand years? Heh." Yun Che smiled coldly, but there was not the slightest trace of a smile on his face. He said slowly, "Within ten breaths of time, I will allow you to completely defeat the eighth Witch in terms of strength. Is this 'compensation 'enough? "

Yun Che's words instantly caused the air to become silent, and the six Witches were completely stunned... Only Qianye Ying'er showed no reaction.

However, their astonishment only lasted for a moment before it subtly disappeared once more… They clearly felt they had heard a ridiculous and low grade joke.

All the expectation that had been growing in their heart turned into anger.

"Yun Che, are you trying to make fun of us!?" Qing Ying said in a deep voice.

In the Divine Master Realm, even if it was a small realm, it was very likely that they would never be able to cross it in their entire lives. Chanyi and Yu Wu were both 8th Level Divine Masters, so the difference between them could not be any clearer to the Witches. Yu Wu says Chanyi could surpass her in a thousand years, but it was more of an approval and encouragement from her as an older sister.

Yun Che said ten breaths!?

For a perfect victory!?

These truly were the biggest words spoken Under Heaven.

Even the legendary "Savage World Pellet", that could let a person take a big step in the Divine Master Realm, would take several years or even longer to successfully refine.

"You indeed are of the same breed!"(?) Ye Li was thoroughly enraged. "Did all of you step into the Soul Stealing Realm today just to provoke us!"

"This is too much!" Yu Wu was truly angered. "I still had a little faith that you really have a guilty conscience and heart to make up for this just now!"

Yun Che did not care about their anger at all, as he looked at Chanyi: "Do you want this compensation or not?"

Compared to the other five Witches, Chanyi's mental reaction was greatly different. Because back then, she had truly interacted with Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er before. She had personally witnessed their attacks and witnessed their strengths.

It had only been two years since then. Of the two, who were only at Divine Sovereign realm in the past, one could kill Yan Sangang and the other could heavily injure Yao Die.

"What are you going to do?" Chanyi said lightly. This sentence, showed that she was not completely unconvinced and didn't reject him.

"Very simple." Yun Che said: "Remove all of your defence, do not have any resistance against my Darkness profound strength."

"How preposterous!" Yao Die was furious as the shadow of a butterfly appeared behind her. Clearly, she had neared her patience limit.

Let Yun Che's aura invade her body, without any sort of defence… With Yun Che's strength that can kill Yan Sangang, this was basically handing her life into Yun Che's hands!

Chanyi's expression also changed, as she was about to coldly refuse, a soft voice suddenly sounded from the depths of her mind and soul: "Cooperate with everything he has said."

Chanyi's heart violently shook as her beautiful eyes slightly widened… Because, that was the Sound Transmission from the Devil Queen!

"Alright." The rejection that was about to come out became a light nod, "Since it's compensation, I have no reason to refuse."

"Chanyi!?" This response greatly shocked the other five Witches. Ye Li hurriedly said, "Even the primordial gods and devils would not have the guts to utter such laughable words. Chanyi, do you really believe him? "

"Although it sounds like a fantasy story, he is someone that master believes in. I will believe in him this time as well." Chanyi said slowly.

After that, she lowered her head and sent a sound transmission to the other five, "This is Master's wish."

"..." The Five Witches who wanted to forcefully stop her froze in an instant.

"Alright…" Ye Li forcefully suppressed her anger and puzzlement. As a Witch, she would never go against the words of the Devil Queen. However, this kind of laughable and impossible matter, it was impossible for her to understand the meaning of the Devil Queen when the other side was putting their lives in the other's hands.

If it was anyone else, it would be impossible for them to understand either.

"Since this is your wish, we can only agree." Ye Li's figure flashed. She stood next to Chanyi's body. "However, we will protect you. If he dares to make any rash moves, we will take action immediately. "

"Don't worry, I trust him." Chanyi slightly smiled, turning her body around slightly. Her profound aura, as well as the surrounding caged profound light, were all immediately withdrawn.

Before Nanhuang Chanyi had even become a Witch, she was already a First Grade Beauty whose name stirred within the Five Nether Ruins Realm. After inheriting the power of Witch, her eyes became even more bewitching, and she became unfathomable.

"Let's begin." She looked at Yun Che, her gaze calm like a lake... Only, to her surprise, as she retracted her profound light and revealed her true face, she did not see a single ripple in Yun Che's eyes.

Was it because the person accompanying him day and night was the Brahma Monarch Goddess… She couldn't help but think this was the reason.

Yun Che did not speak, nor did he move forward. He stretched out his arm and opened all five of his fingers. A mass of Dark Light floated and glinted in his palm and then covered Chanyi from thirty meters away.

The five Witches were already standing next to Chanyi, and every single one of their eyes were cold as they tensed up. They watched Yun Che's darkness profound strength seep Chanyi's body without any obstruction.

As long as a bit of killing intent leaked out from Yun Che's body, they would instantly act and block Yun Che's power.

However, what they didn't expect was that the Darkness Profound Strength that had entered Chanyi's body was especially weak, weak to the point that even if all of it was triggered, it simply wouldn't be able to harm her… After all, even if there wasn't the slightest bit of profound aura protecting it, her body was still that of a Divine Master.

Not only was it weak, its level was also extremely low. That strand of black aura was like the first wisp of dark energy ever created by a child who had just entered the Profound Way, and it was not even worthy to be described with the word "low".
