"Of course, it was this old woman's special method."
"Since you're so eager to die, naturally I'll grant your wish."
"Your life is entirely in my hands now. If you refuse to obey me, I can make you wish you were dead at any moment."
"Crack!"
As she spoke, Ghost Granny twisted the doll's arm, and Meng De's right hand immediately bent into a grotesque shape.
Yet despite such excruciating pain, Meng De gritted his teeth and did not cry out.
"Whatever Senior commands, this junior will naturally obey."
"May I ask what this junior can do for Senior?"
Seeing that Meng De remained unruffled, Ghost Granny narrowed her eyes. "You can endure even this. You're a ruthless person."
"Seeing how well you know the times, I'll give you a chance to live."
"Find a way to trick the others in here. Once you finish this, I can spare your life."
"No problem. This junior will certainly complete the task."
"However, the environment here is complicated. Without Senior's permission, this junior cannot leave."
"No need to leave!"
"A few people have been trapped in Bewitching Valley by me. Go bring them back."
"As for their Dao Protectors, find a way to lure them away."
"I'll give you only three hours. If you haven't returned after three hours, you're as good as dead."
Facing Ghost Granny's demand, Meng De calmly said, "No problem. Senior, wait for good news."
"I guarantee those heavenly geniuses will die in fear and agony."
With that, Meng De got out of bed and left the room.
"Tap, tap, tap!"
As he strode toward the valley ahead, Meng De's gaze grew solemn.
A month ago, Meng De had already begun thinking about how to survive.
The second trial was a certain-kill trap laid by the Imperial Tutor.
