"Just playing around, are you serious?" Hong Ying asked in surprise. "If it were in the past, maybe. But now, with his status, he's not someone we can aspire to. We finally have a chance to rise again, and you, girl, shouldn't mess around."
In Hong Ying's eyes, Ye Fan was already a super big shot.
As Ye Fan's subordinate, Xiang Jiao Jun's status naturally rose with him.
Even if their demonic sect were to rise again, they might not be a match for Ye Fan…
"I know… don't worry, I won't mess around," Lu Ying sighed. "I admit, at first, I was just after Big Xiang Jiao's body. But then, at some point, I found myself falling for him. I can't explain why, but I feel like he's my destined one. It's a shame I was too late; it seems hopeless now…"
"You little vixen," Hong Ying teased. "Is it that you've fallen for him, or you've fallen for him?"
"Of course, I've fallen for him!" Lu Ying giggled. "And don't just talk about me, Sister. Don't think I don't know, you've got your eye on Senior Ye Fan."
"What can we do about it…" Hong Ying sighed. "Neither of us has a chance; we can only daydream…"
As the saying goes,
A sister's man is not to be betrayed.
Moreover, with the little demoness's formidable combat power, Hong Ying wouldn't dare to harbor any thoughts about Ye Fan even with a hundred times her courage.
If she were to show it, she might cease to exist in minutes…
"Crash!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The doors and windows were suddenly shattered, and several figures abruptly appeared before the sisters.
They didn't recognize anyone who had arrived. One of them was carrying a person who was unconscious.
It was Huang Huihong!
Then, the sisters felt their heads go numb, and they knew nothing more…
After an unknown period.
Hong Ying and her sister slowly opened their eyes.
"Where is this…" After waking up, they looked around hazily. "Where…"
They were in a dilapidated room, clearly no longer in the brothel.
On the ground beside them was Huang Huihong, who had also just woken up with a bewildered expression.
And…
The people who had captured them before!
"Honestly tell us where Ye Fan is," Duan Beishan asked with a smile. "If you cooperate well, I might consider letting you suffer less."
The three of them immediately felt a jolt of dread!
They were after Senior Ye?
"I don't know who this Ye Fan you speak of is," Huang Huihong replied. "I think you've mistaken the person."
Indeed, Ye Fan was already like a paramount figure in his heart.
Perhaps these people weren't even a match for Ye Fan.
Even if he told them, it wouldn't seem like much.
But this involved a matter of principle.
If he told them, he would be betraying Ye Fan.
Regardless of whether Ye Fan won or lost in the end, this was an indisputable fact.
Although they were people of the demonic path, they were not demons.
They were only called demonic cultivators due to their cultivation methods; fundamentally, they were still human.
Their values before they entered the demonic path were naturally retained.
Huang Huihong's bottom line did not allow him to do such a thing.
Duan Beishan didn't speak but glanced at the Hong Ying sisters.
"Don't know…"
"Never heard of him…"
The sisters shook their heads in unison.
When they were born, their grandfather was already bedridden.
Their parents had passed away even earlier.
It could be said that Huang Huihong had raised them single-handedly, and their principles were naturally influenced by him.
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
In response, they received two slaps from Duan Beishan!
Blood immediately flowed from the corners of their mouths.
Their beautiful faces also swelled up significantly!
"You're quite tough-mouthed," Duan Beishan narrowed his eyes, then took out the small blue ball again.
The scene of Duan Minggui's death flashed before the three of them again.
In the recording, besides the little demoness as the culprit, the three of them and Ye Fan were also clearly visible.
"Either talk," Duan Beishan said coldly, "or die!"
"Don't know!"
The three of them remained stubborn.
However, their slightly trembling bodies showed their fear.
After all, Duan Beishan's strength alone was enough to intimidate them, let alone the more powerful individuals standing beside him…
"Bang—!"
An outer disciple of the Lingxiao Hall suddenly kicked Huang Huihong.
Huang Huihong was pinned to the ground without any resistance, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard from his chest.
"Cough, cough…"
Huang Huihong coughed up a lot of bloody phlegm, his face contorting violently with pain…
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Four more kicks.
Huang Huihong's limbs were instantly crippled!
Yet, he gritted his teeth throughout, not letting out a single cry of pain.
"You've got guts," the disciple said coldly. "I wonder if you'll still have such guts after I cripple your cultivation!"
"I'll ask you one last time," the disciple said, grinding his foot on Huang Huihong's chest. "Are you going to speak or not?!"
"Cough, cough…" Huang Huihong weakly replied, "I don't know what's going on… I know nothing…"
"Very good!"
The disciple's eyes turned fierce, and he immediately unleashed a surge of true qi towards Huang Huihong!
After entering Huang Huihong's body, the true qi wreaked havoc within him!
It shattered the meridians along its path and then forcefully plunged into Huang Huihong's Dantian!
In an instant, Huang Huihong's Dantian was pulverized!
"Ah—!"
Huang Huihong could no longer endure it and finally screamed out.
The pain of shattered meridians and a destroyed Dantian was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Compared to this, being sliced into a thousand pieces was child's play!
Undoubtedly, Huang Huihong was completely crippled!
The physical pain was secondary; the critical aspect was the mental anguish.
Having one's cultivation crippled was more terrifying than death for a cultivator!
"Now, can you speak?"
The disciple asked again.
"I… know nothing…" Huang Huihong said weakly. "Ask me… a hundred more times, and I'll still have… the same answer…"
The disciple suddenly smiled, then placed his hand on Huang Huihong's arm.
"Rip!"
His fingers, like iron hooks, instantly pierced Huang Huihong's flesh!
The red and white mixture of meridians and flesh was brutally torn out by him!
Furthermore, while doing this, he injected a surge of true qi into Huang Huihong's body to prevent him from passing out from the pain.
His methods were extremely cruel!
Next were his other arm and his remaining two legs…
While he was torturing Huang Huihong, the other disciples were not idle.
Perhaps out of arrogance, they did not treat the Hong Ying sisters as directly as they tortured Huang Huihong.
After all, bullying women was not a good look if it got out.
"Senior Brother, wouldn't it be a waste to just kill these two wenches?" one disciple suggested. "They're quite good-looking, why don't we have some fun first?"
