Then it was Qi Bai's turn. In Ling Wuce's eyes, this guy was also a big catch, especially according to Li Qingquan's structural division, Qi Bai should possess more intelligence. If that weren't the case, Qi Bai wouldn't have had the chance to live until now.
Even though he woke up now, he still couldn't move. His body was covered in cracks, still oozing blood, and his tattered clothes were stained red.
Looking inwardly at his own body, Qi Bai's face turned pale. Now, his five internal organs were riddled with wounds, and the spiritual energy at the Divine Spring was chaotically surging like a stormy sea.
If not for that strand of rit Power that always wrapped around his heart, he might not have survived.
He cast a complex glance at Han Yu. It was this guy who almost beat him to death, yet in the end, it was also this guy's pill that saved his life.
Life is full of cause and effect!
At this ti, Ling Wuce stepped forward, looking down at Qi Bai from a commanding height. After organizing his thoughts, he spoke.
"You should know what we want to know as captors?"
Qi Bai gave a bitter smile and didn't answer.
Ling Wuce frowned deeply, his old face wrinkling, and his tone grew harsher.
"Tell , what exactly is the Corpse Refining Lineage, what are your objectives, what is your organization's structure, and where are you hiding..."
A barrage of questions poured out of him, the Fifth Tower was urgent to know everything about the Corpse Refining Lineage; this organization was too mysterious, mysterious enough to cause unease.
Even the Fifth Tower dared not underestimate this behind-the-scenes force any longer.
Qi Bai remained silent, turning his head to the side, lost in thought.
"Are you not afraid of death? I can kill you at any ti."
Ling Wuce's anger flared at his deanor, and he rebuked sharply.
Only then did Qi Bai turn back, with a bitter smile, "Of course I'm afraid of death, but if I betray, it's more terrifying than death."
If he weren't afraid of death, he wouldn't have taken Han Yu's pill back then, but within the Holy Sect, there are many things more terrifying than death.
"You can kill, flay, or torture
as you please."
With himself in this ghostly shape, he might not withstand several waves of torture; dying would be straightforward, sparing him from more suffering.
"You..."
Ling Wuce, in a rage, knew he couldn't kill him without extracting any information, but in the current situation, he found no way to deal with him.
"Actually..."
Han Yu, who had been silent all along, stepped forward with a peculiar glance at Qi Bai, sighed, and said, "I have sothing that would make you feel sothing more terrifying than death!"
After speaking, Han Yu turned his head and instructed the Palace Guard, "Bring a basin of water."
Then he walked in front of Qi Bai, squatting down, pinched Qi Bai's jaw open, and pulled out a pill from thin air and threw it in.
"What did you make
ingest?"
Qi Bai looked astonished, raising his head in a daze.
Han Yu smiled and stood up without saying a word, simply waiting for the effect to kick in.
In just a few breaths, the chaotic spiritual energy inside Qi Bai's body abruptly began to transform. Only he could feel this change; outsiders could not detect it.
The spiritual energy initially cultivated from his tal Attribute Spirit Root suddenly changed. This transformation was thorough, and the now rampaging spiritual energy felt unfamiliar to him.
He wasn't foolish; his Spirit Root Attribute had been changed.
"You've ruined my cultivation."
Qi Bai laughed bitterly. His Spirit Root Attribute had been altered, and the spiritual energy in his body similarly changed; thus, the cultivation technique he had been practicing was now useless. Even though he was of the Realm of Transcendence, the unmatched cultivation technique would halve his power at the least.
"How is this anything?"
Han Yu gave an eerie smile. This could hardly be considered ruining cultivation; as long as he changed Cultivation Techniques, it could be saved. Besides, the side effects hadn't shown yet!
By this ti, the Palace Guard returned with a wooden basin of water, Han Yu pointed at Qi Bai, ordering, "Pour it on him."
The Palace Guard, suspecting nothing, poured the entire basin of water over him, and Qi Bai was instantly drenched, looking foolishly at Han Yu.
"Is this your torture?"
It seed like a child's play, no more than that.
Various thoughts flipped through his mind, but suddenly a shriek was heard.
"Is he... is he lting..."
Huangfu Liang, who ca to watch the scene after settling Li Qingquan, widened his eyes, dumbfoundedly pointing at Qi Bai.
He hadn't been mistaken, that when the water poured on Qi Bai, sohow it seed as if Qi Bai was visibly shrinking along with the water dripping down.
In fact, he wasn't mistaken. Not only him but Ye Hei and Ling Wuce also noticed, especially after being drenched, Qi Bai's whole face appeared slimr by several degrees.
"What did you make
ingest?"
Qi Bai, too, noticed his anomaly by now, reposing the question without the previous composure, his face in fright.
Mud Bull Pill: After ingestion, dicine Taker will have their attributes reversed, transmuting Spirit Root into Top-Grade Earth Spirit Root. Side effect: Like a mud bull disappearing into the sea, they dissolve upon contact with water.
Once Han Yu slowly spoke about the Pill's effects, everyone's gaze toward him turned incredibly peculiar.
So this is really a Poison Pill; the side effect ought to be altering the dicine Taker's Spirit Root!
Such a dreadful side effect, the re thought sends shivers down one's spine.
Frightening? Not entirely, in ordinary tis, one just needs to be cautious and protect oneself.
But applying it here makes it particularly sinister.
Han Yu looked at Qi Bai, speaking slowly, "I know you can endure physical tornt, and my pill won't cause you pain."
"But, do you want to try watching yourself slowly dissipate piece by piece, starting from your toes, inch by inch upward..."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chilling sense of horror, goosebumps arising all over, despite it not being a cold winter yet, Huangfu Liang and Ye Hei simultaneously exhaled a cold breath.
This kind of psychological horror was truly terrifying.
Qi Bai's complexion shifted dramatically, just imagining such a scene was unbearable, let alone witnessing himself disappear slowly.
"You win!"
His eyes completely lost their light, speaking dully.
"Promise , kill
afterward."
