"Calm down, we didn't mean any harm." Luo Zian said with his hand raised up.
"Yeah, we were simply escaping from some crazy bees." Peng Tian added.
Peng Tian could feel the person behind him was even more dangerous than Yang Wei.
Thus, he was cursing his terrible luck and Luo Zian for having it easy.
'Why does Luo Zian always get the easy enemy while I get the tough one?' Peng Tian cried inwardly.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei glanced at their attires and noticed their origin.
"Burning Sword Sect?" Yang Wei muttered..
"Y-You heard of our sect?" Luo Zian exclaimed in surprise. He didn't expect to meet someone else here that would know about their sect.
"I recognize your flashy blue robes." Yang Wei said.
"T-That's great… we are fellow friends here then. No need to point a sword at our necks." Luo Zian said as he tried to turn around.
However, Yang Wei quickly injected some of his spiritual qi at the sword, indicating that another movement from Luo Zian would mean the end of his life.
"Just because I recognize your origin doesn't mean you're safe." Yang Wei warned.
Luo Zian twitched his mouth.
'Damn it, after a crazy chase from bees, we now have a fellow cultivator threatening our life.' Luo Zian cursed silently in his heart.
He then showed a bitter smile as he asked, "Then what does the fellow cultivator want from us?"
Yang Wei ignored Luo Zian's question as he glanced at Zhu Wenqian.
"What do you think we should do?" Yang Wei sent a mental transmission to Zhu Wenqian.
Zhu Wenqian held a ferocious expression as she sneered, "Obviously kill them."
"I want to do the same but they might have information about what happened in the Misty Forest." Yang Wei replied.
Zhu Wenqian pondered for a moment. "Then what do you suggest we can do?"
Yang Wei twitched his mouth.
He had just asked her the same thing and she gave the question right back at him.
"Do you have any method that can restrain them?" Yang Wei asked.
Zhu Wenqian grinned evilly as she nodded.
"Of course I do." Zhu Wenqian said as she sent a wave of Saint Qi toward Peng Tian.
At the same time, she flicked her hand and sent another wave of Saint Qi toward Luo Zian.
Luo Zian and Peng Tian both vomited a mouthful of blood as they plopped to the ground.
Their faces were pale as they struggled to muster an ounce of their strength.
"W-What did you do to us?" Luo Zian asked as he felt like a powerless mortal.
"A-Are we crippled now?" Peng Tian held a lifeless expression.
"You're not cripple but close to it if you don't answer our question honestly." Yang Wei suddenly said as he retrieved two chairs for him and Zhu Wenqian.
At the same time, Yang Wei activated his alchemy flame to illuminate the cliff.
However, he made sure that the lighting of the cliff does not show outside since it could alert the Killer Bees from noticing them.
Meanwhile, Luo Zian and Peng Tian finally got a good look at Yang Wei.
Their expressions changed as they shouted his name at the same time.
"YANG WEI! It was you."
Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.
"How did you two know my name?" Yang Wei asked. He wasn't famous or anything so it was weird that these two people in front of him knew about his identity.
Luo Zian spit some of his saliva out as he cursed, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been separated and met with countless dangers."
"You and your sect were supposed to be the scapegoat for us." Peng Tain intervened. "We were split into multiple teams to capture you."
Yang Wei narrowed his eyes.
'Indeed, the Phoenix Sky Sect are really a bunch of scum…' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he wondered how he would face Meng Yan in the future.
As much as he wanted to repay her debt of gratitude, he did not wish to be hindered by her family sect.
Sometime later, Yang Wei held a vicious expression as he walked toward Peng Tian.
"What's your name?" Yang Wei asked for their names first as a courtesy.
Peng Tian didn't want to reply at first but when he saw Zhu Wenqian cracking her knuckles, he started sweating profusely.
"Peng Tian! My name is Peng Tian." Peng Tian replied swiftly.
He wasn't afraid of Yang Wei but Zhu Wenqian's presence had spooked him hard.
Yang Wei nodded his head.
"Tell me Peng Tian… What happened outside the Misty Forest?" Yang Wei asked.
"Also, a word of warning. If you said any lies then don't blame me for what happens next."
Peng Tian swallowed nervously when he sensed an intense killing pressure emitted toward him.
He sneaked a glance at Zhu Wenqian but quickly lowered his head when he confirmed the killing intent came from her.
'S-Such a dominating figure… how did Yang Wei manage to have such a companion with him?' Peng Tian cried inwardly.
As Peng Tian tried to open his mouth to speak, Luo Zian suddenly intervened and shouted.
"Don't fall for his trick, Peng Tian. Yang Wei will still kill us once we give him the information he wants." Luo Zian wasn't a naive fool to believe they are lucky to be left alive.
Peng Tian shuddered as he glanced at Yang Wei.
And sure enough, he didn't see any form of denial from Yang Wei.
"Y-You…" Peng Tian stuttered as he decided to keep his mouth shut.
Alas, Zhu Wenqian didn't like this outcome as she vanished from her position.
Afterward, she raised her leg up and stomped down on Peng Tian's back.
"Blargh" Peng Tian vomited a mouthful of blood as his bones were shattered and had a rupture.
"I was going to give you a nice and easy death but since you wanted to take the hard way then so be it." Zhu Wenqian scoffed as she stomped on Peng Tian again, shattering numerous bones in the meantime.
