On the stage, after Bibi Dong realized something was wrong, she did not flee through the sky or underground as Qian Renxue had intended.
She knew Qian Renxue was not that kindhearted, so neither of the two apparent escape routes was an option.
With no way out in any direction, she simply stopped trying to escape.
This thoroughly enraged Qian Renxue.
I was waiting to watch you flee in panic. If you don't run, what am I supposed to watch?
So Qian Renxue willed it.
Without warning, an enormous Golden Cudgel thrust up from underground.
It drove straight into the red lotus platform beneath Bibi Dong's feet, sending her screaming into the sky along with it.
Before she could even feel relieved that she had not chosen to break through underground, a blow came from overhead.
Another Golden Cudgel, like a pillar holding up the heavens, slammed down on Bibi Dong and knocked her onto the Golden Cudgel below.
Then Bibi Dong's nightmare began.
There was a Golden Cudgel beneath her feet, a Golden Cudgel above her head, and walls made of Golden Cudgels on every side.
She was like someone stuffed inside a precision piston machine. No one could see what was happening inside; they could only hear the sounds of flesh being battered.

The faster those two Golden Cudgels moved, the more brutally Bibi Dong was slammed between them.
"A secret chamber! Another secret chamber!"
Almost no sunlight entered the cube of Golden Cudgels, and the physical agony was not all Bibi Dong had to endure inside.
More frighteningly, this scene reminded her of the secret chamber
