Dai Mubai Was Scared Witless-Why Was Davis Here?
The emptiness of the spiritual world is like an overturned ink bottle, pitch black, not a ray of light can penetrate it.
Dai Mubai's breathing became rapid. He frantically waved his arms, trying to grab onto something, but only touched nothingness.
"Where am I!" His voice echoed in the void. "Let me out! Ye Hua! Come out!"
Only deathly silence answered him.
Dai Mubai's legs began to weaken, and his knees trembled involuntarily.
"Ye Hua! I know you can hear me!" he roared, "What are you trying to do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the void in front of Dai Mubai changed.
In the blink of an eye, a chilling scene unfolded!
The cold iron fence, the chains covered with dark red rust, the damp and chilly ground.
Dai Mubai was horrified; his hands were firmly locked in shackles!
The iron chain was attached to the wall behind him. He struggled for a couple of seconds, and the chain tightened so hard that his wrist bones were in excruciating pain!
"Where... where is this?"
"Why did Ye Hua bring me here?"
Dai Mubai swallowed hard, suppressing his inner panic.
"Dai Mubai." Ye Hua's voice finally came.
Dai Mubai quickly turned his head and saw Ye Hua lying on the recliner, legs crossed, twirling a triangular pyramid-shaped ice crystal in his hand.
Ye Hua raised the [Ice God's Tear], letting it hover in front of Dai Mubai, "Your Star Luo Empire also has a similar national treasure, right?"
Dai Mubai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head frantically.
"I don't know! National treasures are always known only to core members of the royal family!"
"I've been hunted down by Dai Weisi for so long that I'm constantly on the run, unable to even return to the palace. How could I possibly know!"
He speaks extremely fast, as if he wants to pour out his words like beans.
"Ye Hua, you have to believe me! I really didn't know!"
"Okay," Ye Hua smiled, "I don't know."
Dai Mubai a sigh of relief, but then suddenly saw Ye Hua waving his hand.
Whoosh!
The chains tightened, pulling Dai Mubai into a spread-eagle position, suspending him in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, a leather whip dipped in salt water lashed across his back, tearing his skin and flesh!
The saline solution poured into his wound hurt so much that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
Before he could even scream, the second, third, fourth, and fifth lashes fell in quick succession!
Shoulder blades, waist, inner thighs—leaving no area untouched!
It's like they deliberately targeted the most painful spots!
"Aaaaaah!" Dai Mubai screamed, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"
"I really don't know! You could beat me to death and I still wouldn't know!"
Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly, said nothing, and simply waved his hand again.
The iron chair flew to Dai Mubai's front, while Dai Mubai's upper body was still hanging in mid-air, but his lower body was pressed down on the chair.
The red bricks were piled up under his feet, higher and higher, and the excruciating pain made his pupils dilate and the veins on his forehead bulge!
Aren't you going to tell me?
Ye Hua summoned an ice sword and aimed it at Dai Mubai's tendons.
Dai Mubai's eyes widened. "Ye Hua! Wait!"
"Hmm." Ye Hua put down the ice sword.
"Spare me! I really didn't know!"
"Hmm?" Ye Hua sneered.
Dai Mubai was almost driven mad, "I don't know! I freaking don't know!"
"What crime have I committed to deserve such torment!"
Seeing him weeping uncontrollably and crying out his innocence, Ye Hua was truly amazed.
How come I didn't know before that this guy's bones are even harder than Tang San's?
Ye Hua stood up, looked down at him, and said, "Don't you understand?"
"Do you still remember when you abandoned Zhu Zhuqing, leaving her to face Zhu Zhuyun's pursuit alone?"
Dai Mubai's crying stopped abruptly, his shoulders trembling.
"Well," he said with a wry smile, "You shouldn't bring up this old, rotten stuff, should you?"
"Look, isn't Zhu Zhuqing doing quite well with you? She's much better off than me, this good-for-nothing!"
"Since she's happy, you..."
Snap!
A resounding slap!
Dai Mubai was dumbfounded.
"No wonder he's a coward; even his thinking is tinged with the sorrow of a coward!"
"If someone hurts you, and you're doing well now, you won't hold them accountable?"
"Let criminals go unpunished, live comfortably, and then turn around and bite the hand that feeds them?"
"Ye Hua," Dai Mubai cried, on the verge of tears, "I'm afraid to admit I'm a useless coward, a shameless coward... please... please let me go!"
"Ha," Ye Hua sneered, "Still daydreaming?"
"You spread rumors targeting the Soul Spirit System and brought people to cause trouble. How many times do you deserve to die?"
Dai Mubai trembled all over, unable to even cry, and could only try to explain in a hoarse voice.
"I... I was forced into it too!"
"It was Tang San! Tang San forced me!"
"He said if I didn't help him, he would dump me on Dai Weisi. I had no choice!"
Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly. "Alright, I'll believe you for now. Confess and you'll be treated leniently. Do you actually have anything similar to a national treasure?"
"I have no idea."
"..."
"Excellent," Ye Hua took a deep breath. "Since you're not cooperating, then let's see him."
He clapped his hands, and a man emerged from the darkness outside the cell.
Wearing a purple robe with gold trim and a cold, stern expression, he was none other than Dai Weisi, the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire!
Dai Mubai opened his mouth wide, his head snapped back, and his whole body convulsed!
"You! It's you! Ahhh!"
"Tsk tsk," Dai Weisi bent down and leaned closer to examine Dai Mubai. "Look at him, my dear brother, how did he end up in this state?"
"Big brother..." Dai Mubai forced a smile.
"Huh?" Dai Weisi raised his hand and slapped him across the face.
Snap!
A crisp, loud sound rang out, Dai Mubai's left cheek swelled up.
"Who's your elder brother?" Dai Weisi waved his hand dismissively. "Let me tell you, Father has officially named me Crown Prince has been erased from the family genealogy."
"From this day forward, you Dai Mubai, are nothing but a lowly commoner, worse than even the villagers of a remote, impoverished village!"
These words, like a red-hot iron block, pressed hard against Dai Mubai's heart!
"What?!" Dai Mubai nearly fainted.
He lost Zhu Zhuqing, lost his reputation, and even his fighting ability deteriorated.
His status as a prince was the ultimate cost of his pride!
And then they'll be deprived of their rights?
"Dai Weisi... I'll kill you!"
"I'll kill you and Ye Hua sooner or later!"
"You all just wait!"
Dai Mubai became hysterical.
He stole Yu Xiaogang's check for [millions of soul coins] and extorted a lot from Tang San.
As long as he gets into the Clear Sky Sect, once the storm passes, he can live a comfortable life in hiding.
But all of this was destroyed by the two people in front of him!
That beautiful dream was shattered like a bubble, robbing him of any hope of living!
He glared at Ye Hua, his hatred growing stronger.
If Ye Hua hadn't appeared, he would have already used sweet words to coax Zhu Zhuqing!
Join forces with Tang San and use Hidden Weapon to win the Soul Master Tournament!
He eventually became the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, living a life of extravagance and luxury, surrounded by beautiful women!
It's all Ye Hua's fault!
Seeing his fierce gaze, Ye Hua decided to continue controlling [Dai Weisi].
"We're just going to wait?" Dai Weisi scoffed. "Night Alliance Leader, these vicious dogs are only a nuisance if we keep them around. We might as well deal with them on the spot."
Ye Hua nodded, "Then let's do as Brother Dai says."
He raised his hand, and the gleaming guillotine hanging in the air above the room creaked and groaned.
The blade, gleaming with a chilling aura in the dim light of the prison cell, was aimed at Dai Mubai's neck.
As the ropes loosened, Ye Hua got serious, Dai Mubai was instantly terrified!
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" he shouted hurriedly, "The Star Luo Empire seems to have a national treasure as well!"
"Speak," Ye Hua stopped the execution, "What is it?"
