Having arranged everything, Qi Chongcai led his men and swaggered in front of Ninghua Sect.
Looking through the barrier at the people below who were standing ready for battle, a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Long time no see, Chen Sangruo."
His gaze swept over the flames on the barrier, and his smile became even more mocking.
Tsk tsk and shook his head, saying, "Still thinking of using your flames to deal with the evil energy? Let me tell you, it's completely useless!"
"This foul odor is no ordinary kind of strange gas; you'll never find a solution!"
"You'll see just how I turn the cultivation world into a living hell! This is the price you pay for angering me, understand?!"
As Shen Sanruo stared at Qi Chong's face, which was twisted with excitement, anger over the tragic deaths of Changli Immortal Lord and the others surged into her heart.
As a result, her eyes became filled with hostility.
Even though she tried her best to suppress her emotions, she still couldn't control them when she saw the culprit.
Seeing the look of utter hatred on Shen Sangri's face, as if she wanted to devour him, Qi Chong's smile vanished instantly. "You dare glare at me?"
He wanted to see her groveling before him, and that look in her eyes made him very unhappy.
"Do you need me to tell you about your current situation and that of the people behind you?"
"I can gouge out your eyes anytime I want, and I can gouge out everyone's eyes!"
What Qi Chong said was indeed true.
Even if they couldn't break through Ninghua Sect's restrictions in a short time, the evil energy released by Qi Chong's furnace could easily break through the defenses she had set up.
She knew her flames weren't very effective.
When the heretical cultivators actually appeared before her, she realized that they could only last much shorter than she had imagined.
"Speak, you've ruined so many of my plans, have you thought about what your fate will be?" He looked down at Shen Sangruo.
"My fate?" she finally answered, "In the end, it's nothing more than death."
“But there are many kinds of death.” Qi Chong’s smirk was meaningful, and his cold voice made people instinctively feel uncomfortable.
She had long anticipated her fate; falling into Qi Chong's hands would only mean being torn to pieces and tortured to the extreme.
What is there to fear?
Seeing that Shen Sangruo's expression remained unchanged, Qi Chong clapped his hands and praised, "Just as I thought, she really is a tough nut to crack."
Judging from Qi Chong's tone, she finally realized that something was wrong.
Then I heard him say again, "But even the hardest bone has a soft spot."
"What are you going to do?" Her expression changed, and she stared at Qi Chong with half-closed eyes.
Unconsciously, he took a step towards Su Xiyu and the others, blocking their way.
Qi Chong noticed this action and said jokingly, "Don't you already have the answer?"
"The Immortal Lord Changli, the Immortal Princess Qingluan, and the Daoist Wuwei are all dead. The old ones are gone, so it's time for the younger ones to take their place, isn't it?"
"Someone like you can endure torturing yourself, but can you endure torturing those closest to you?"
Qi Chong was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, tightly coiling around them, his sinister tone almost suffocating them.
Shen Sangruo's fingers slowly closed, digging forcefully into her palm.
“Junior Sister, you don’t need to worry about us.” Ye Huai tugged at her sleeve and shook his head at her. “Don’t let us bind you to the evil cultivators.”
“Senior Brother is right. Are we afraid of them?” Song Weiyan said.
"Sister Sang Ruo, I'm fine." Fang Yu forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
This was the only smile he showed since Liu Ruyan passed away.
“The person Qi Chong hates is me; I’ve dragged you all down with me,” she said to them.
It must be said that Qi Chong really knew her inside and out, and he really had her weaknesses firmly in his grasp.
"Don't say that. Even without you, Qi Chong still won't let us go," Bai Ruoan said.
Shi Zhili crossed his arms and said, "Our feud with evil cultivators dates back ten thousand years. Why blame yourself?"
"You said the worst that could happen is death," Su Xiyu said indignantly. "We will never submit to those evil cultivators!"
"Well, at worst, they'll just die." Qi Chong's voice drifted over. "Chen Sangruo, you'd better watch carefully later and see exactly how they die."
"Perfect timing. There are quite a few remnants from ten thousand years ago here, so let them be the first batch and let them experience what they went through ten thousand years ago again."
"How about using it as an appetizer?"
Although Qi Chong spoke in a questioning tone, he didn't listen to her opinion at all and had already made a decision.
"Bring those people to me." His tone suddenly turned icy.
He pointed to Ye Huai, Song Weiyan, Bai Ruoan, Su Xiyu, and Shi Zhili one by one.
Shen Sangruo knew better than anyone what had happened to these five people over the millennia.
His natal sword was broken, his meridians were destroyed, he became blind and mentally impaired, his body was poisoned, and his soul was damaged.
In the end, they all became useless people, and for these once-proud individuals, this will forever remain a haunting shadow.
She had personally pulled the five of them out of the abyss, but now she had to watch them fall back into it.
For the five of them, experiencing what happened back then again would be like tearing open their wounds and rubbing salt into them.
It hurts several times more than before.
This method of killing and destroying the spirit reveals Qi Chong's ruthlessness to the fullest extent.
It was an excruciating torment for both of them.
"You weren't here ten thousand years ago, so you don't know how they became crippled. Today, I'll show you how."
"Although I don't know the specifics of the situation with the Taichu Sect, as long as his soul is damaged, the result will be similar."
"How about that? Wasn't I thoughtful?"
Seeing their extremely ugly expressions, Qi Chong had never felt so happy!
Ye Huai and the others had only one thought in their minds: rather than relive what happened back then, they might as well just end their own lives.
They couldn't bear to let Shen Sangri see the miserable state they had been in back then, nor did they want to cause her trouble because of them.
Unfortunately, she has to walk the rest of the road alone; they can't accompany her anymore.
But just as they were preparing to end their own lives, the evil cultivator appeared even faster than they could.
Even with the reinforced restrictions, the near-divine evil cultivators found them as fragile as paper.
It couldn't even last a moment, instantly turning into countless fragments.
The restriction shattered, and everyone in Ninghua Sect was thrown into chaos, with cries of alarm filling the air.
Amidst gasps of surprise and Shen Sangri's wide, astonished eyes, the evil cultivators stopped Ye Huai and his companions from their actions and took them away.
Shen Sanruo's carefully maintained composure crumbled completely at that moment.
She lowered her voice and threatened through gritted teeth, "Qi Chong, I'm warning you, don't touch them!"
