Chapter 1069, Skills? I’m Returning Them to You!

Translator: Silavin

 

At this moment, this Tie Family Player was completely unrestrained in revealing the negative emotions from the depths of his heart, fully exposing his inner greed.

 

Actually, this was quite natural. Human nature inclines towards evil. Who does not harbour some negative emotions in them?

 

Seeing others excel and feeling jealous, this was understandable was it not?

 

As for wanting to acquire others’ wealth for oneself, to possess others’ prosperity and riches, this was an even more normal thought.

 

Some people could recognise that such thoughts were incorrect, thereby suppressing their desires and making the right choices.

 

Others, however, could not restrain themselves, committing harmful acts for the sake of fulfilling such desires.

 

The Situ Family belonged to the former category.

 

Did they not envy everything Lu Fan possessed?

 

But they understood: their jealousy was one thing, but they absolutely could not harbour thoughts of killing Lu Fan and appropriating everything he had for themselves. Because regardless of whether such thoughts were morally wrong, they were foolish.

 

Once Lu Fan was offended, if he could not be eliminated, what awaited the Situ Family would be endless retaliation.

 

The Situ Family understood this, so regarding Lu Fan, they harboured no such intentions.

 

But the Tie Family was different. They also knew they had no qualification to target Lu Fan directly, but they had directed their attention towards Ye Wuxian.

 

“Stop wasting words with this woman!” An Elder spoke at this moment, simultaneously drawing a greatsword and equipping it.

 

“Girl from the Ye Family, I’ll give you one opportunity. Obediently remove all your equipment and hand it over to us. This way, we can still consider past sentiments, treat you well, and give you a comfortable place. You won’t have to suffer too much. But if you resist stubbornly, then we apologise first. Our Skills and equipment are nothing to joke about. Killing you will also allow us to obtain your equipment, is that not true? Now, we give you a chance to choose!”

 

At this moment, the Tie Family Player who had previously entered the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance with everyone also spoke. “Exactly, Miss Ye, you’d best be sensible. Between us, there is indeed some relationship. I don’t want to make things difficult for you. What we want is merely the equipment you obtained in the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance. Don’t be ungrateful and create so much trouble for yourself.”

 

“Ha!” Ye Wuxian was naturally livid, directly spitting out. “At this point, you’re still pretending to be a good person? You want my equipment, right? You’re welcome to try whether you can snatch it from my hands!”

 

The Tie Family Player’s expression immediately became extremely unpleasant, sneering coldly. “So it seems Miss Ye truly refuses to drink the toast, then you must face the consequence for it.”

 

With that, he directly charged forward, a staff appearing in his hand.

 

This person’s Profession Characteristics actually bore some similarity to Ye Wuxian. Both used Magic and Physical, mixed in martial arts.

 

Moreover, he was exceptionally skilled at utilising Fire Element Skills to attack his enemies, possessing considerable offensive capability on his own.

 

Currently, Ye Wuxian was trapped within the Sword Array, unable to use any Skills.

 

Therefore, he could release Skills to attack Ye Wuxian, but she could not retaliate.

 

If Ye Wuxian wanted to counterattack, she would first need to break through the Array.

 

And this Array was the proud creation of the Tie Family’s Array Mage. Never mind Ye Wuxian, even Situ Hengxing would be trapped inside for two hours before escaping.

 

After all, this Array Mage of the Tie Family was their Family’s trump card.

 

And trump cards of a Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Family, were equivalent to keys in counterbalancing other Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Families. How could such a post be for mere reputation?

 

If they were merely dealing with the Patriach of a Second Tier Ancient Noble Family, this Array Mage’s Array would not even need to be deployed.

 

But to ensure absolute certainty in capturing Ye Wuxian, the Tie Family had truly invested heavily this time.

 

The Tie Family Player waved his staff. Immediately, fire frantically gathered around Ye Wuxian, instantly transforming into roaring flames that swept upward, forming an immensely massive flame tornado that directly consumed Ye Wuxian.

 

This Skill possessed considerable power. Considering that Ye Wuxian was also skilled in using Fire Element Skills, her Fire Element Resistance should be quite high.

 

Therefore, when this Tie Family Player deployed this Skill, he controlled the force precisely enough to make Ye Wuxian suffer somewhat, yet not enough to kill her instantly.

 

Moreover, this Skill was a Sustainable Damage Over Time Skill, designed to inflict physical torment upon Ye Wuxian.

 

Watching Ye Wuxian’s figure consumed by roaring flames, this Tie Family Player continued manipulating the fire while declaring loudly. “Miss Ye, in my opinion, you should just obediently submit. We don’t wish to kill you, because you’re still useful. As long as we capture you, we can use you to restrain Lu Fan, preventing him from retaliating against us. But your use is limited to only this. If you truly don’t cooperate with us, we’ll have no choice but to kill you. After all, Lu Fan doesn’t know whether you’re alive or dead. Even if we kill you, we can deceive him into believing you’re still in our hands. So, you shouldn’t hope for anything else. If you want to avoid suffering, cooperate with us. Our Tie Family isn’t unreasonable. As long as you comply, we won’t make things difficult for you.”

 

His words had barely fallen when he saw the flame tornado suddenly disappear.

 

Ye Wuxian stood calmly in place, her dress slightly ruffled, clearly having sustained no Damage.

 

Seeing this scene, a Tie Family’s Elder immediately frowned. “Why did you stop the Skill? She hasn’t even handed over her equipment yet. Continue!”

 

The Tie Family Player looked completely bewildered, turning to the Elder. “No… it wasn’t me who stopped the Skill. My Skill… suddenly disappeared.”

 

“What?! How is that possible?!”

 

The other Tie Family members were all confused, because clearly Ye Wuxian was still being contained by the Sword Array. She could not possibly have released any Silence Skill against this Player.

 

Simultaneously, there were no outsiders intervening here. How could his Skill be interrupted so abruptly?

 

As everyone remained puzzled, Ye Wuxian’s expression became playful. She casually pointed: “The Skill is right here. I’m returning it to you!”
