Xie Yongan, who had been splashed awake with cold water, slowly came to. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Taiyu Perfected One's aged, venomous face, followed by an icy voice in his ear.
"Xie Yongan, where's the money?!"
"It... it's been frozen!" Xie Yongan said, his lips trembling.
Taiyu Perfected One slammed a hand against the armrest. "Xie Yongan, I don't have time to play games with you. Are you going to talk or not? If not, I'll force-feed you these gut-eating gu worms!"
"I'm telling the truth!" Xie Yongan caught sight of what was in the glass bottle, his face filling with terror. "Xie Chen did it. Go find him!"
Taiyu Perfected One took a deep breath, then said viciously, "Force it down his throat!"
"Yes, Master!"
Two disciples stepped forward to restrain Xie Yongan, while another poured an entire bottle of gu worms into his mouth.
Already tortured and brutally beaten by Xie Chen, the old fox could not struggle at all. He could only let them do as they pleased.
He felt the worms crawling down his esophagus and burrowing into his stomach, where they began biting nonstop.
His expression instantly twisted in agony.
"Ahhhhh—save me—"
"Taiyu Perfected One, save me—"
"You're not human! You're all beasts!"
"I worked for you for so many years and laundered money for you for so many years!"
"And you still want to kill me—"
"The Taiyu Sect is a place that devours people whole!"
"How many people have you killed?!"
"I'm going to expose you—"
"You old bastard—"
Xie Yongan had nowhere to vent his pain and could only curse with his mouth. The screams he tore from his throat were so miserable that they sent chills down anyone's spine.
