The three days in Bitter Water Pool were the most agonizing period of Blazing Fire Demon King's life. Saying that each second felt like a year was no exaggeration. Under that extreme pain and torment, even seeking death was an extravagant luxury.
From hurling curses at the start to bitterly begging for mercy later, Blazing Fire Demon King took only twelve hours.
It was not that his backbone was too soft; he simply could not endure the torment of the bitter water.
As soon as the time was up, he spilled everything he knew without holding anything back. It was not to save his life, but merely to beg for a swift end.
But Shi Potian and the others had weathered countless storms. How could they possibly trust his side of the story so easily?
In the end, they extracted his Three Souls and Seven Spirits and lashed them seventy-two times, nearly beating his soul apart, repeatedly verifying the accuracy of the information.
Shi Potian said calmly, "The information should all be true. You all heard it with your own ears. Now, tell us your respective views."
"The Golden-Eyed Demon Kingdom has developed rapidly over the years, its strength far exceeding our estimates. Yet even under such circumstances, they chose to hold their troops in place and wait for that ally.
"According to what Blazing Fire revealed, that so-called ally is from the Human Race, and the messenger carrying their communications is a Blood-Eyed Crow. Does that sound familiar to any of you, Fellow Daoists?" Song Changsheng said, pointing at the portrait of the blood crow drawn from Blazing Fire Demon King's memories.
"A Blood-Eyed Crow... It has been years since I last saw one. Those Blood Demon Remnants truly refuse to settle down." Bai Zimou gave a cold snort.
