I proved immortality with thunder magic.

Unnamed Island.

As Zhou Tai paced back and forth on the shore, a pair of eyes were staring intently at him from the darkness.

The owner of those eyes was none other than the female cultivator who had miraculously survived.

The female cultivator had already put on a new set of clothes and was hiding behind some bushes.

Her dry, cracked lips indicated that she was in a very bad state.

But she dared not make any unusual movements, and even tried to keep her breathing as low as possible.

At that moment, she knew very well that if she were discovered, she would surely die.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Tai, who was standing on the shore, suddenly stopped, as if he had remembered something, and rushed towards the place where the battlefield had been.

His actions made the female cultivator's heart tighten. She thought she had accidentally left some clues, and she immediately felt uneasy.

Zhou Tai's figure quickly disappeared from the female cultivator's sight, which made her even more uneasy. She couldn't help but frown and think about what she had done when she ran away earlier, to see if she had overlooked something or left any clues or flaws.

As we all know, once people get into thinking, they will unconsciously lose control of certain behaviors.

That's how the female cultivator is right now.

After Zhou Tai disappeared from her sight, and knowing that he was now far away, she relaxed her vigilance.

When her body maintains one posture for a long time, it will definitely feel uncomfortable. Without being mentally focused, she will subconsciously bend and stretch her body to relieve the discomfort.

These subconscious movements are very subtle, and even if the person notices them, they will subconsciously think that it's not a big problem.

Little did she know that this was a trap that Zhou Tai had deliberately set for her!

When the female cultivator subconsciously bent and stretched, the commotion she made was quickly detected by the Thunder-Patterned Frog Yuanbao.

Yes, the Thunder-patterned Frog Yuanbao didn't actually go into the river to look for anyone; it simply used the act of jumping into the river to hide itself.

It had already quietly come ashore from a place unnoticed, and had been hiding in the shadows sensing changes in its surroundings.

Therefore, when the female cultivator subconsciously stretched and bent, the newly created movements quickly exposed her, but she herself was completely unaware of it.

It wasn't until a sudden "croak" of a frog rang out that she was startled from her reverie.

Even now, she still hadn't realized she'd been exposed. Instead, she looked in the direction of the croaking frog with suspicion, not understanding what the demonic frog was saying.

Soon Zhou Tai reappeared, heading straight for the location of the Thunder Pattern Frog Yuanbao.

After he reunited with the frog, the Thunder-Patterned Frog Yuanbao croaked, directly pointing out the direction and approximate location of the female cultivator's hiding place.

Following the frog's directions, he silently glanced at the direction where the female cultivator was hiding, then gently stroked the frog's head and whispered, "I understand, Yuanbao, you've done a great service again. Go back to your spirit beast pouch and rest!"

After saying that, he put the frog that had made such a great contribution into his spirit beast bag.

He then walked forward a short distance, made a hand seal to cast a spell, and with a wave of his hand, a thick bolt of blue-white lightning flew towards the distant bushes.

Blue and white lightning struck the grass, instantly creating a chaotic dance of lightning bolts and sparks flying everywhere.

Looking at the burning bushes all around, he said calmly, "If you come out now, you might still have a chance to live; otherwise, you might be reduced to ashes in no time!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and wiped it across his storage bag, revealing several more magic talismans in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the female cultivator hiding in the bushes turned extremely pale.

She had a bad feeling from the moment Zhou Tai and the Thunder Frog Yuanbao were talking.

When Zhou Tai suddenly made his move, she knew that her worries had become a reality.

Although the lightning bolt didn't strike her directly, the flames that have now erupted are only two or three zhang away from her.

Even if she doesn't go out now, the flames will probably come over soon.

Therefore, upon seeing Zhou Tai preparing to throw the talisman again, she dared not harbor any more illusions and hurriedly stood up, shouting, "Fellow Daoist, please wait! I will come out!"

Seeing the female cultivator rise from the bushes, Zhou Tai narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Take off your clothes, raise your hands, and slowly walk over. If I find even half a piece of cloth on your body to hide anything, then talk to my sword!"

As he spoke, he had already taken out the Silver Star Sword, ready to fly and strike at his target at any moment.

Upon hearing his words, the female cultivator was not angry at all; instead, she felt a surge of joy, as if she had seen a real chance to live. She quickly nodded and replied, "Alright, I will do as you say, fellow Daoist. I hope you will show mercy and spare my life!"

As she spoke, she quickly took off her clothes and transformed herself into a large white sheep.

Then she raised her hands high and slowly walked towards Zhou Tai, swaying slightly.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Tai immediately understood what the female cultivator meant, and a cold smile appeared in his eyes.

This woman is really naive. Does she really think that the hatred of being murdered for money can be resolved with her broken body?

But then he thought, since this woman had this idea, perhaps he could cooperate with her, which might make it easier for him to get the information he wanted.

So, as the female cultivator approached, he scanned her from head to toe with an aggressive gaze, saying in a somewhat gruff tone, "Turn around and let me see your butt... let me see if you're hiding anything behind you!"

Upon hearing his words, a hint of disdain flashed in the female cultivator's eyes, but she said with a fawning expression, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Her tone was soft and weak, like a maidservant giving orders to her master.

After saying that, she obediently turned around, making herself face away from Zhou Tai, and even bent over slightly to make her buttocks appear more perky.

Zhou Tai readily agreed, focusing his gaze there while urgently calling out, "Yes, that's it! Stand still, hands up, I need to check carefully if you're hiding anything."

His gaze was fixed on the female cultivator's pert buttocks, but his mind was focused on his storage bag, searching for something that could restrain her.

Although this female cultivator has lost her storage bag and magic weapon, she still possesses the magic power of the seventh level of Qi Refining. If Zhou Tai doesn't tie her hands, he really wouldn't dare to approach her easily.

However, his storage bag had limited space, and apart from his usual talisman-drawing tools and magical artifacts, he couldn't find anything suitable inside.

"Fellow Daoist, are you alright? My legs are a little sore. Would you like to lie down so you can take a closer look?"

Just as Zhou Tai was pondering, the female cultivator, seeing that he hadn't made a move, took the initiative to speak up and entice him.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly looked at the clothes the female cultivator had taken off earlier, and an idea immediately came to him.

He called out, "Don't move, I'll go get you some clothes."

After saying that, he quickly walked to where the female cultivator had been hiding, picked up her storage bag and clothes, and then used the Silver Star Sword to cut the clothes open, cutting out several strips of cloth.

"Don't move. I'm going to tie your hands first. If you dare to move, my sword won't be so kind to you."

As Zhou Tai spoke, he gestured for the female cultivator to turn around and slowly approached her with the cloth strip in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the female cultivator looked at him with a fawning expression and obediently clasped her hands together, waiting for him to tie them up.

A moment later, Zhou Tai successfully tied the female cultivator's hands, then held his sword to her neck and said, "Let's go, let's go to the place where I was resting earlier."

After saying that, he deliberately pinched the female cultivator's full breasts hard.

"uh-huh!"

The female cultivator let out a soft moan, feigning pain as she cried out, "Fellow Daoist, please be gentle! I'm very afraid of pain!"

"What's this? If you don't cooperate later, it'll hurt even more! Hehehe..."

Zhou Tai grinned wickedly, then patted the female cultivator's buttocks before urging her to return to their previous resting place.

Upon arriving at their destination, he pulled the female cultivator into his arms, placing a sword against her neck with one hand and roaming over her body with the other.

Then, he breathed into the female cultivator's ear and said, "Now I'll ask you questions, and you answer them. If you cooperate obediently, I might spare your life after I'm done playing with you. Otherwise, I'll only be able to play with your corpse!"

"By the way, never try to lie! They say a woman's heart races when she lies!"

Hearing his lewd words, even though the female cultivator was somewhat prepared, she was still so frightened that her face turned pale.

She hurriedly cried out, "Fellow Daoist, spare my life! I will tell you everything and cooperate fully. Please, please don't kill me!"

Zhou Tai seemed quite satisfied with her reaction, and immediately laughed triumphantly, "Haha, then let's see how you perform."

After saying that, he covered the female cultivator's chest with his hand and asked, "What is your background? Why did you attack me? And how did you know I was spending the night on this island?"

The female cultivator had probably anticipated his question, and immediately replied, "Fellow Daoist, please understand. My name is Wang Yan'er, and the person lying over there is my husband, Lu Dahu. We are both independent cultivators. The reason we attacked you was due to the instigation and instigation of Wu Chuan, and it was absolutely not my intention!"

Zhou Tai, of course, didn't believe her explanation, but he wasn't in a hurry to expose her. Instead, he continued to press, "Then how did Wu Chuan know I was spending the night on this island?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan'er immediately explained, "So that you may know, fellow Daoist, when you passed by on your flying steed two days ago, you were already discovered by the mortal gang controlled by Wu Chuan, and they also knew that you spent the night on the island!"

"Therefore, Wu Chuan calculated the distance of your flying steed over the past two days and concluded that you would likely stay overnight in this area. He has arranged for a large number of people to be stationed along the hundred-mile stretch of the river in advance."

"As soon as you settled here in the evening, the news was quickly relayed to Wu Chuan via flying eagles, and then Wu Chuan brought my wife and me here!"

This answer surprised Zhou Tai; he hadn't expected to be exposed in this way.

He couldn't help but ask again, "According to you, Wu Chuan is truly a talented person. Is he also a rogue cultivator?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan'er's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was thinking about how to respond.

This immediately angered Zhou Tai, who couldn't help but clench his fist on her chest and squeeze it hard.

This minor punishment immediately startled her. Ignoring the pain, she hurriedly said, "He claims to be a rogue cultivator, but judging from his appearance, he's not even sixty years old yet he's already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. He still has the energy to control such a large mortal gang and dares to rob and kill sect disciples to obtain cultivation resources. He's most likely not a true rogue cultivator!"

This answer made Zhou Tai's eyes narrow slightly, and then he asked, "Since you have this idea, can you guess his true background?"

Wang Yan'er immediately denied it, saying, "I don't know. My husband and I only have a cooperative relationship with him. He only contacts us when he's not sure he can take everything for himself. We don't usually cultivate together!"

"Understood. Since you've been so cooperative, I'll grant you a quick death!"

Zhou Tai nodded slightly, and before Wang Yan'er could react, he slit her throat with his sword.

"You, you..."

Wang Yan'er stared wide-eyed in disbelief, seemingly wanting to accuse Zhou Tai of breaking his promise, but before she could finish speaking, she collapsed lifelessly in a pool of blood.

Zhou Tai looked at the female corpse on the ground, whose eyes were wide open in death, and gently reached out to close her eyes.

Then he muttered to himself, "I never said I wouldn't kill you. Be a good person in your next life!"
