Feigning Weakness Before the Enemy
Lei Weiyue took to the air and chased after it to the east. After chasing for about a hundred miles, she could vaguely see three figures on the distant horizon.
The three figures were arranged in three groups: one in front and two behind.
She recognized the two people behind her; they were Lei Da and Lei Hu.
Lei Weiyue's expression brightened, and her speed immediately increased by two points.
After chasing for another forty miles, her Divine Sense was able to cover the three people ahead.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Lei Weiyue roared and pointed forward, unleashing a burst of Law Power that shot straight at Song Wen, who was at the very front.
Song Wen also noticed Lei Weiyue behind him and feigned a look of panic.
A large amount of blood mist suddenly emanated from his body, and the aura he emitted suddenly became stronger, quickly reaching the level of Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.
Its speed also increased sharply, almost comparable to that of Foundation Establishment Peak Stage cultivator.
At the same time, he lowered the tip of his sword and swooped down into the dense forest below, as if trying to use the forest as cover and seize an opportunity to escape Lei Weiyue.
"Hmm, this seems to be a demonic Blood-Burning Secret Art. Could this person be a demonic cultivator?" Lei Weiyue muttered to herself.
With a thought, the magical Law Power she had unleashed immediately changed direction, relentlessly pursuing Song Wen.
As the Law Power drew closer, the blood mist swirling around Song Wen suddenly changed, gradually condensing into a blood-red shield.
"Boom!"
The Law Power struck the shield.
To Lei Weiyue's great surprise:
The shield didn't shatter; instead, it successfully blocked the Law Power. However, the immense impact of the Law Power caused the person in front to lose control of their body, tumbling and plummeting towards the ground.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
After snapping off several treetops, the man finally crashed to the ground, creating a huge crater and kicking up a lot of dirt.
Lei Weiyue's face showed a hint of surprise.
She had just unleashed that Law Power, and although it was just a casual strike, it was still a huge surprise that it was caught by a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator.
Lei Weiyue couldn't help but feel curious about the blood-red shield.
Based on her understanding, that blood-red shield should be formed by some kind of secret technique, rather than Spirit Artifact.
Lei Weiyue's figure swept past Lei Da and Lei Hu, landing in the dense forest below before them.
As soon as she entered the dense forest, she noticed that the other person was still lying in the pit, seemingly suffering from serious internal injuries.
Just as Lei Weiyue was about to unleash her Law Power to subdue the man, she saw three Blood Year tentacles rapidly grow from his body, one of which was heading straight for her.
The Blood Year tentacles were incredibly fast. Lei Weiyue had no time to react before they got close and became completely entangled in her tentacles.
The tentacles transformed into a viscous, blood-red substance, gradually forming a blood-red cocoon that completely engulfed Lei Weiyue's body.
Lei Weiyue felt as if her vision was enveloped in a blood-red haze, and her body was bound by a powerful force, rendering her unable to move.
The blood cocoon not only imprisoned her Law Power, but also her Divine Sense, causing her to lose all perception of her surroundings.
"I've fallen into a trap; the opponent is Nascent Soul Cultivator."
Lei Weiyue was horrified, and at the same time felt a deep sense of fear and regret.
It was obvious that the other party was targeting Lei Jun; their real target wasn't her at all.
If she hadn't tried to curry favor with Lei Jun, and if she had immediately notified Lei Jun after receiving the message from the old man in the shop, instead of being presumptuous and trying to personally apprehend the suspect who killed Lei Tianyu, she wouldn't be in this dangerous situation now.
The other two blood-red tentacles headed straight for Lei Da and Lei Hu high in the sky.
Two blood-red afterimages flashed through the air, and Lei Da and Lei Hu vanished without a trace.
Song Wen hurriedly activated his movement Movement Method and fled into the distance.
The reason he lured Lei Weiyue into the dense forest before making his move was mainly to avoid attracting too much attention.
This place is too close to the Lei Clan. If they were to alert Lei Yue, the patriarch of the Lei Clan, and the many Golden Core cultivators of the Lei Clan, Song Wen would be outnumbered and worried that he would not be able to fight them off. It would be better to act cautiously.
Thousands of miles away, in Cave at the foot of a high mountain.
Song Wen dragged in, his body covered in three blood-soaked calluses as tall as a person.
With a thought, one of the blood cocoons slowly began to flow downwards, revealing Lei Weiyue's beautiful face.
"I ask, you answer," Song Wen said coldly.
Lei Weiyue glanced at Song Wen, her eyes revealing deep fear.
Despite being Nascent Soul Cultivator, the other party disregarded his own dignity, feigning injury and getting covered in mud, all to lure her into the dense forest and capture her alive.
Such a ruthless person will act without any scruples, and if they fail to satisfy their opponent even slightly, they will likely suffer a terrible fate.
"Please ask, senior; I will certainly tell you the truth," Lei Weiyue said.
Song Wen asked, "Where did you take Zhou Siyi?"
"Zhou Siyi? Senior, are you referring to the Golden Core Elder of the Beast Taming Sect?" Lei Weiyue asked.
"Exactly," Song Wen said.
Lei Weiyue said, "She is the wife of the current head of the Lei Clan, so naturally she is within the Lei Clan's territory."
Song Wen's expression turned cold. "You're about to die, and you still dare to lie to me."
A slender tentacle suddenly emerged from the blood-red eggshell.
The tentacle, like a long snake, burrowed into Lei Weiyue's mouth amidst her horrified gaze.
The tentacles quickly extended, tracing down Lei Weiyue's throat and into her abdominal cavity.
Lei Weiyue's face suddenly turned extremely painful, and large beads of sweat quickly gathered on her forehead before sliding down her cheeks.
"Waaaaah..."
Lei Weiyue's eyes were filled with pain and pleading.
She seemed to want to beg for mercy, but due to the presence of the blood-red tentacles, she could only let out low moans.
After several dozen breaths, the tentacles retracted.
In that short period of time, Lei Weiyue seemed to have experienced the most cruel torment of her life. Her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were unfocused, and her consciousness was almost blurred.
If it weren't for the support of the blood-red eggshell, she would probably have collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
"I'll ask you one more time, where is Zhou Siyi?"
Song Wen's icy voice rang out once more.
Upon hearing this, Lei Weiyue trembled violently as if she had heard the voice of a vengeful ghost, and hurriedly replied.
"Senior, what I have said is the truth. After the matriarch was brought to the Lei Clan, she has stayed in the patriarch's cave abode and has never gone out."
"Why doesn't she go out? Could she be imprisoned by your Lei Clan?" Song Wen asked.
"This junior is unaware of the situation; perhaps he is cultivating," Lei Weiyue said weakly.
"Still not behaving yourself? Looks like you want to experience the pain you just felt," Song Wen said coldly.
The crimson tentacles immediately began to stir, waving back and forth in front of Lei Weiyue.
"Senior, spare my life! I have uttered not a single falsehood!" Lei Weiyue pleaded pitifully.
She truly didn't want to experience the pain she had just gone through again.
After the crimson tentacles entered her abdominal cavity, they transformed into countless tiny, sharp blades.
The blades twisted and turned inside her body, scraping her internal organs and leaving her covered in wounds.
Song Wen was slightly taken aback.
Was it really a case of misunderstanding her?
Did Lei Weiyue truly not know the inside story?
Or perhaps I'm mistaken, and Zhou Siyi wasn't persecuted by the Lei Clan?
