"It's my turn, it's my turn."
After the Titan Giant Ape punched Su Sheng a few times, the Chaos Demonic Bull was eager to have another go. The interrogation had turned into a game between the two of them to see who could get Su Sheng to speak first...
Su Sheng might die if they continued to beat him, so the Sky-Swallowing Divine Python quickly intervened:
"That's enough. If you keep hitting him, he will die."
"If we kill him, our lord will not spare us!"
"I've already sent a message to inform our lord. I estimate he will arrive soon. We will decide what to do with him after he arrives."
The Chaos Demonic Bull and the Titan Giant Ape trembled in fright upon hearing this and then stopped in anger. They then became concerned about Su Sheng's injuries, truly afraid that if he died accidentally, they would be doomed...
The Chaos Demonic Bull grabbed Su Sheng's collar, stared at him with its big copper-bell eyes, and threatened sternly:
"I'm telling you, you're not allowed to die now, or I'll kill you!"
"Did you hear that?"
As he said that, the Chaos Demonic Bull slapped Su Sheng's face with two big swats, waking him from his near-death state.
Su Sheng's face was red and swollen beyond recognition, and he nodded with tears in his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder who the adult mentioned by the three demon kings could be. These three demon kings were all at the same peak as him in the realm of gods. Each of them was no less powerful than he and could be considered one of the top powers in the world.
He had long heard that there were several demon kings in the Demonic Forest who were terrifyingly powerful.
But he didn't expect that they would obey someone obediently...?
Who could control these powerful demon kings?
And why did they attack him for no reason?
Su Sheng's first thought was of the mysterious black-robed old man who killed the old ghost and Lu Jian with one blow, and his heart trembled with fear. If it was the mysterious man, then everything would be explained.
Only he could make these three demon kings bow down obediently!
At this moment, Ning Yechen slowly walked into the cave with his hands behind his back. He no longer deliberately concealed his identity but appeared in front of everyone with his original appearance.
When the Chaos Demonic Bull and the others saw Ning Yechen arrive, they quickly knelt down obediently and kowtowed.
"Greetings, my lord!"
Su Sheng looked straight at Ning Yechen with a mix of curiosity and fear. The man before him looked like he was only in his early twenties and was extremely handsome, but Su Sheng couldn't feel the slightest bit of cultivation from him!
Yet, he exuded a cold, arrogant, and contemptuous demeanor!
If Su Sheng hadn't been tied to the pillar, he would have almost knelt down!
Ning Yechen looked at the dying Su Sheng, frowned, and asked the Chaos Demonic Bull and others:
"Why does he look like he's about to die? Did you use lynch tactics?"
"No, no!"
"My lord, when we caught this guy, he resisted with all his strength. We may have used a bit too much force."
"But I swear I never punched him!"
The Chaos Demonic Bull assured, trembling.
The Sky-Swallowing Divine Python and the Titan Giant Ape couldn't help but glance at the Chaos Demonic Bull in surprise. What this guy said was true...
Seeing that Su Sheng was still breathing, Ning Yechen didn't pursue the matter any further. He strode up to Su Sheng, stared at him coldly, removed the wooden stick from his mouth, and asked:
"Tell me, who are you and who sent you here?"
"Senior... this junior is called Su Sheng, and he is the current master of the Confucian Palace... I broke into this place unintentionally and will undoubtedly offend you, sir. I hope you can let me go. I will make amends to you with a generous gift someday...!"
"I'm asking you who sent you here, don't you understand?"
Ning Yechen's eyes turned cold, and he grabbed one of Su Sheng's arms and squeezed it gently. The whole arm instantly collapsed!
"Ahhhhh!"
After losing an arm, Su Sheng let out a miserable wail in pain, and blood spurted out!
The three demon kings kneeling aside couldn't help but tremble and obediently lowered their heads...
Compared to Ning Yechen, their attacks had been much lighter...
"I ask again, who sent you here?"
Ning Yechen asked again coldly.
"Yes, it's a certain adult from the upper world! He has hidden his identity; I have never seen him! I just heard him say that if we help him bring the mother and daughter named Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye, he will help us ascend to the fairy world! That's all I know! Senior, please forgive me this time!"
Su Sheng endured the severe pain and shouted with a pale face. He understood that the person in front of him was definitely not someone to be trifled with, and this time he did not dare to hesitate at all.
"How do you contact that person?"
Ning Yechen asked coldly.
"We couldn't contact that person; he came to us..."
Su Sheng replied weakly.
Ning Yechen frowned in displeasure. He had wanted to catch that person directly. Sure enough, it wasn't that easy...
"Tell me about your origins."
Ning Yechen asked about the identities of Su Sheng and the other three people he had killed.
Only then did Su Sheng realize that Wu Kuang had died in Ning Yechen's hands a long time ago, and he didn't dare to hide anything.
He, Su Sheng, was the master of the Confucian Palace in the world. Lu Jian was the leader of the Qingfeng Sword Sect. Wu Kuang was the master of the Martial Arts Temple. The old ghost was the master of the Human Puppet Ghost Cave. The sects that the four of them belonged to were all top first-class sects in the world today, alongside the four major sects in the world.
Three days ago, all four of them met a mysterious man who came to visit them. The other party asked them to work together to bring Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye back. As long as they could do it, the other party would help them ascend to the fairy world! After that, they could be introduced to join a first-class sect in the fairy world!
Faced with such a temptation and hearing that they were only trying to catch a fairy girl in the celestial realm, everyone readily accepted it. Then they followed the old ghost's tracking and came to the Demonic Forest, and what happened next...
"Senior, I have told you everything I know... Please let me go; I will be at your disposal!"
Su Sheng pleaded with fear.
Ning Yechen smiled softly, and the shadows under his feet spread to Su Sheng's feet. A large group of dark golden insects emerged from the shadows and climbed onto his body!
"What, what is this...?!"
"Ah ah ah, stop, stop!"
"Senior! Please stop! Ahhh!"
Su Sheng felt like his whole body was being bitten continuously; countless bugs had penetrated into his body, gnawing all over him bit by bit! The heart-wrenching pain and fear made him cry out and beg for mercy.
After a while, Su Sheng was completely overwhelmed by the insects. The wailing sound quickly disappeared, and his body no longer struggled...
When the insects faded away from the stone pillar, there was nothing left!
Ning Yechen had no intention of letting any of them go after they had attacked his wife and children from the very beginning! Even the sects they belonged to!
