John stood silently, his gaze fixed on Jo Lee.
"Bastard! For daring to kill my sister, I'm going to make sure you don't leave this secret realm alive!" Jo Lee roared, rushing towards John using the Cloud Step technique.
John disappeared, reappearing beside Jo Lee. In a cold voice, he said, "For a dead man, you sure talk a lot."
Jo Lee thought, He's fast! He quickly tried to move, but found himself tightly bound by threads woven from Qi.
"If you try making any move, I'm going to tear you apart," John said. "I'm only going to ask you once: do you have a life-saving artifact? You better think before you answer."
Jo Lee smiled defiantly. "As if I'm gonna tell you shit! Just kill me already!"
John smiled back, a chilling glint in his eyes. "Mei Lee, your sister, is also in the secret realm, right? I'm going to make sure to send her along to accompany you."
Jo Lee's face contorted with rage. "Bastard! Don't you dare lay your hands on her!"
John's smile widened. "If you don't want her to die, you better start talking."
Anger still etched on his face, Jo Lee said, "I don't have any life-saving artifact."
John tilted his head slightly. "It's like you don't really want your sister to leave this secret realm alive."
Jo Lee thought, Bastard! But outwardly he said, "I really am not in possession of any life-saving artifact, and I have only ever seen one. I was told it was a one-time use."
John said, "Even if it is a one-time use, how can just a branch sect leader possess such a treasure?"
"I don't have any idea how my father got his hands on such a treasure," Jo Lee replied. He thought desperately, I have to make sure Mei Lee lives the secret realm. He subtly began trying to infuse Qi into a jade talisman hanging at his waist.
