You are not allowed to die now, or I'll kill you

"My turn, my turn."

After the Titan Giant Ape punched Su Sheng a few times, the Chaos Demon Bull was itching to try.

The interrogation had turned into a game between the two of them, seeing who could make Su Sheng speak first...

If they kept hitting him, Su Sheng might die. The Sky Swallowing Python quickly spoke up to stop them:

"Enough. If you keep hitting him, he'll die."

"If you kill him, that Excellency won't let us off!"

"I've already sent a message to Excellency."

"Excellency should be here soon. We'll decide how to deal with him when he arrives."

The Chaos Demon Bull and the Titan Giant Ape shivered at the words and reluctantly stopped.

Instead, they became concerned about Su Sheng's injuries, afraid that if he accidentally died, they would be finished...

The Chaos Demon Bull grabbed Su Sheng by the collar and glared at him with its large bull-like eyes, sternly threatening, "I'm telling you, you're not allowed to die right now, or I'll kill you!"

"Did you hear me!"

As it spoke, the Chaos Demon Bull slapped Su Sheng twice on the face, waking him from his near-death state.

Su Sheng, his face swollen beyond recognition, nodded tearfully, his mind beginning to wonder who the "Excellency" the three Demon Kings mentioned could be.

These three Demon Kings were all at the peak of the Heavenly God Realm, just like him. Each of them was as powerful as he was, considered among the top powers in the world.

He had heard rumors about several powerful Demon Kings in the Demon Realm forest.

But he never expected them to obediently follow someone else...?

Who could possibly command these powerful Demon Kings?

And why would they attack him without reason?

Su Sheng's first thought was of the mysterious old man in black robes who had instantly killed the Ghost Husband and Lu Jian. A shiver of fear ran through him.

If it was that mysterious person, then everything would make sense.

Only he could make these three Demon Kings bow their heads obediently!

Just then, Ning Yechen walked slowly into the cave with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, he no longer bothered to hide his identity, appearing before everyone in his true appearance.

Seeing Ning Yechen arrive, the Chaos Demon Bull and the others quickly knelt down obediently and bowed.

"Greetings, Excellency!"

Su Sheng stared intently at Ning Yechen, his expression a mixture of curiosity and fear.

The man before him appeared to be in his early twenties, with an exceptionally handsome and refined appearance. Yet, he couldn't sense any cultivation from him!

But he exuded an arrogant aura that looked down upon the world!

If he hadn't been tied to the pillar, he might have even felt compelled to kneel down himself!

Ning Yechen looked at the near-death Su Sheng and couldn't help but frown. He asked the Chaos Demon Bull and the others, "Why does he look like he's about to die?"

"Did you torture him?"

"No, no!"

"Reporting to Excellency, this guy resisted desperately when we captured him, and we might have used a little too much force."

"We definitely didn't hit him a single punch!"

The Chaos Demon Bull guaranteed sternly, trembling, without a hint of breathlessness.

The Sky Swallowing Python and the Titan Giant Ape glanced at the Chaos Demon Bull with some surprise.

This guy was really selling it like it was true...

Looking at Su Sheng, who was barely clinging to life, Ning Yechen didn't press further. He strode up to him, his cold gaze fixed on him, removed the wooden stick from his mouth, and asked, "Speak, who are you people, and who sent you?"

"Senior... Junior's name is Su Sheng, and I am the current Palace Master of the Tianxia Confucian Palace..."

"I accidentally trespassed into this place and inadvertently offended you, Excellency. I hope you can spare this junior."

"I will definitely offer you a generous gift as compensation another day...!"

"I asked you who sent you, don't you understand?"

Ning Yechen's eyes turned cold. He grabbed one of Su Sheng's arms and squeezed lightly. The entire arm instantly shattered!

"Ahhhhhh!"

Having lost an arm, Su Sheng let out a soul-wrenching wail of pain, blood gushing out!

The Chaos Demon Bull and the other two kneeling nearby couldn't help but tremble, lowering their heads even further...

Their methods were far gentler compared to Excellency…

"I'll ask one more time, who sent you?"

Ning Yechen asked again in a cold voice.

"It was an Excellency from the Upper Realm!"

"He hid his identity, so I never saw his face!"

"I only heard him say that if he helped him bring the mother and daughter named Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye to him, he would help us ascend to the Celestial Realm!"

"That's all I know!"

"Please, senior, spare me this time!"

Su Sheng endured the intense pain and shouted with a pale face.

He understood that the person before him was by no means someone to be trifled with, and this time he didn't dare to hesitate any further.

"How do you contact that person?"

Ning Yechen asked coldly.

"We can't contact that person; that person always finds us..."

Su Sheng replied weakly.

Ning Yechen frowned in displeasure.

He had been thinking of capturing that person directly.

Was it really not that easy...

"Tell me about your origins."

Ning Yechen then inquired about the identities of Su Sheng and the other three he had killed.

Su Sheng then realized that Wu Kuang had also met his end at Ning Yechen's hands long ago. He didn't dare to conceal anything and revealed everything one by one.

He, Su Sheng, was the Palace Master of Tianxia Confucian Palace.

Lu Jian was the Sect Master of Azure Peak Sword Sect.

Wu Kuang was the Hall Master of Martial God Hall.

Ghost Husband was the Den Master of Human Puppet Ghost Den.

The sects to which the four belonged were all top-tier sects in the current world, the four great sects standing side-by-side.

Three days ago, all four of them had coincidentally received a visit from a mysterious person.

The other party requested them to join forces to bring Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye back. If they succeeded, the other party would help them ascend to the Celestial Realm!

Afterward, they would even be introduced to join first-rate sects in the Celestial Realm!

Faced with such temptation, and hearing that they only needed to capture a female from the Celestial Realm at the Human-Celestial Realm, everyone readily accepted.

Then, they followed Ghost Husband's tracking to this Demon Realm forest, and what happened next unfolded...

"Senior, I've already told you everything I know..."

"Please let me go; my Tianxia Confucian Palace is willing to serve you!"

Su Sheng pleaded in terror.

Ning Yechen chuckled lightly. Shadows spread from his feet to Su Sheng's, and a large swarm of dark golden insects emerged from the shadows, crawling onto him!

"What, what is this…?!"

"Ahhh, stop, stop it!"

"Senior! Please, stop! Ahhh!"

Su Sheng felt his entire body being gnawed at, countless insects burrowing into his body, slowly devouring him!

The drilling, heart-piercing pain and fear caused him to cry out for mercy incessantly.

Before long, Su Sheng was completely engulfed by the insects. His cries quickly disappeared, and his body stopped struggling…

When the insects receded from the stone pillar, nothing was left on it!

For attacking his wife and children, Ning Yechen had never intended to spare any of them from the very beginning!

Not even their respective sects!
