Lin Youyou frowned, but still handed the main array plate to Qingyu.
Taking the main array plate, Qingyu slowly approached Hualu and stared intently into her eyes.
"What are you trying to do? Release me now, or else..."
"ah--"
Before she could finish her sentence, the hard chains pierced through her collarbone, waist, and ankles.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Hua Lu's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and with each breath she took, the iron chains pierced deeper into her flesh.
Where her clothes were torn, one could see the stark white bones and exposed flesh, with blood meandering like a river along the grooves of the chains.
"You don't seem to understand your current situation."
Qingyu said calmly, her tone colder than ever before.
She knew that the person in front of her had once tried to kill her junior sister.
Every word Hua Lu had just said to Yun Si Ning felt like a sharp blade piercing her heart.
"I'll let you know that I'm the only one who can scold Ning'er!"
"What are you going to do? What are you going to do!"
Hua Lu gradually realized that something was wrong.
But just as she was about to struggle, the dark gold runes on the surface of the chains wriggled like living things and burrowed into Hua Lu's body through the wound.
She suddenly convulsed, her eyes bulged, and her pupils reflected a scarlet cage woven by chains in her soul.
"No, ahhh—"
The excruciating pain, even worse than being slowly sliced to death, caused her body to convulse like a leaf.
As she tried to gather spiritual power to resist, the entire space began to collapse in reverse.
Hua Lu's bones groaned in agony as they were crushed by the chains, her legs twisted and deformed, broken bones piercing through her flesh and exposed.
Seeing this bloody scene, Yun Sining felt a pang of pity.
She had never seen her senior sister so cruel before. She wanted to step forward and stop her, but she held back.
"Haha, Qingyu really cares about you."
At this moment, Lin Youyou slowly flew to Yun Sining's side and said with a smile.
"Um?"
"Can't you see? She's standing up for you."
Is that so?
Yun Si Ning watched her senior sister's retreating figure and pursed her lips.
"Tell me, where did this come from?"
Qingyu reached out and took the ancient compass from Hualu's hand.
Even after suffering such pain, Hua Lu still gripped the compass tightly.
Seeing the compass being taken away by Qingyu, a look of despair flashed in Hualu's eyes.
"I...can't say."
"Still not going to talk?"
Qingyu narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint in them.
"In that case..."
Seeing her raise the main array plate in her hand again, Hua Lu's pupils dilated into a terrified gray-white.
But the thought that if I were to reveal the truth, I would face something far more terrifying than death.
Thinking of this, Hua Lu gritted her teeth.
"I...I won't tell!"
"Alright then."
Qingyu nodded, and a bright light flashed on the main array plate in her hand.
The next moment, fine threads formed from runes appeared in the chains that pierced through the flower's collarbone.
These fine threads, like maggots, were frantically gnawing at her exposed flesh.
Unbearable pain surged through Hua Lu's body, as her life essence was being stripped away bit by bit.
Her eyes widened, and she murmured to herself.
"No...don't kill me..."
Hua Lu's forehead slammed against the ground in excruciating pain, and black blood seeped from her nostrils and ear canals, staining half of her face red.
Her knees slammed heavily onto the chains, but the magic array prevented her from kneeling; she could only curl up in a twisted position.
At this moment, she resembled a young animal awaiting slaughter, her blood-stained hair obscuring her tear-streaked face.
"Please...spare my life!"
She suddenly began frantically pounding her forehead against the chains, screaming and pleading, her bloodied forehead slamming against the chains until white bone was exposed.
"If you reveal the secret behind your life, I might consider sparing your life."
Qingyu said calmly.
"I can't say, I really can't say!!"
The chain runes suddenly glowed, and Hua Lu screamed in agony as her fingers scratched five bloody marks on her body.
"Then you can just stay silent. I have a way to make you talk."
Qingyu turned to look at Lin Youyou, who smiled and nodded at her.
"Hmm, what do you mean?"
Yun Si Ning asked in confusion.
Lin Youyou said with a smile.
"Just you wait and see, the sealing formation of my Prison Wind Hall is very powerful."
The next moment, the entire magic array used flower dew and fresh blood as ink to draw an inverted pentagram totem on her lower abdomen, with twelve chains corresponding to the twelve array eyes.
Crimson liquid overflowed from the chains, easily seeping into her wounds.
"Ugh—!"
"Stop! I...I can tell you part of it!"
"No! No! Ah—!"
An extremely strange energy instantly arrived at her dantian and began to wriggle like maggots.
"I was wrong... I was really wrong..."
Under the agonizing pain, Hua Lu's pupils began to dilate, turning into lifeless fish eyes.
"No... don't let them eat my dantian..."
Qingyu raised her hand, and the energy stopped.
"I'm giving you one last chance."
"If you still don't tell me, I will directly open your sea of consciousness to search your soul."
"Soul Search!"
If it were a soul search, she would definitely die because her sea of consciousness would be shattered.
The reason Qingyu didn't do it from the beginning wasn't because she couldn't bear to kill her, but because it was very likely that the other party would directly detonate her divine soul, and in the end she would get nothing.
Upon hearing Qingyu's words, Hualu's eyes darted around, and she seemed somewhat shaken.
Just then, as if sensing something, her blood-soaked body suddenly tensed up.
At the same time, Yun Sining's mind was shaken, and a familiar feeling surged into her heart once again.
"This feeling... is not good!"
Yun Si Ning suddenly remembered that she had experienced the same feeling when she was at Jianping Mountain, which was why she discovered the traces of the flower dew through the Eyes of Desire.
Without any pause, Yun Sining instantly activated her Desire-Seeking Eyes.
But to her surprise, there were only three red dots of light within a radius of several thousand miles, representing the flower dew, her senior sister, and herself.
"No, there's definitely something wrong!"
Yun Si Ning's vigilance only increased. She looked around and several talismans appeared in her hand.
That dangerous aura followed her like a shadow, coiling around her like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.
However, as far as the eye could see, there were only Qingyu and a few others, and the hidden danger remained completely unseen.
Noticing that something was wrong with her, Lin Youyou asked in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Qingyu also turned her head curiously, staring at Yun Sining's nervous face.
The instant she turned her head, a void spatial rift tore open behind her, and a pale hand emerged from it.
"Be careful, Senior Sister!"
"Qingyu, get out of the way!"
Two voices rang out at the same time, and Yun Sining was horrified to discover that...
Just moments before, a fourth light suddenly appeared in the field of vision, which originally contained only three points of light.
The crimson light, like fresh blood, shone into her horrified pupils.
