The Soul-Devouring Poison Centipede burrowed into Chu Feng's body, and the venom was released instantly, spreading throughout his entire system.
As the toxin took hold, dark lines began to appear across Chu Feng's body, covering him from head to toe in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, Chu Feng clenched his teeth tight. Though he did not let out any wails of agony, the twisted, excruciated expression on his face made it unmistakably clear that he was enduring an unbearable level of pain.
"Bear with it. This is only the beginning — you won't last long," Qingyu Ruize said, watching Chu Feng with a cold sneer.
Sure enough, not long after his words fell, multicolored lines surfaced across Chu Feng's body. These were no mere markings — they were poison.
The toxin not only invaded Chu Feng's physical body but also seeped into his soul. The pain multiplied severalfold, and even Chu Feng could no longer endure it. He began to let out agonized screams.
Seeing Chu Feng in this state, the members of the Qingyu Demon Clan finally wore expressions of satisfaction on their faces.
Qingyu Fengming, in particular, had been wanting to deal with Chu Feng for a long time, but his previous attempts with Bai Liluo and the others had ended in failure.
Now, Chu Feng had finally fallen into their hands and was writhing in agony right before their eyes. It felt as though a great vengeance had been avenged.
"Bai Liluo, what's wrong? This so-called brother of yours is in this state, and you still won't show yourself?"
"Are you just going to stand by and watch him die?"
Suddenly, Qingyu Ruize shouted at the top of his voice.
He was trying to use Chu Feng's agonized screams to lure Bai Liluo out.
He knew that Bai Liluo was in seclusion, and if she were interrupted now, she would suffer a dangerous backlash.
"Heh. It's no use."
Yet at that moment, Chu Feng gritted his teeth, forced himself to endure the torturous pain, and let out a feeble, contemptuous laugh toward Qingyu Ruize.
The concealment formation that Chu Feng had set up not only hid Bai Liluo from sight but also served as a barrier against sound. The conversations and cries from Chu Feng and the others — Bai Liluo could not hear a single one of them.
"Chu Feng, don't tell me you actually think that just because you won't reveal where Bai Liluo is, I won't be able to find her?"
"If I want to find her, I'll have my chances. But honestly, Chu Feng, right now I'm more interested in dealing with you."
"I'm going to make sure that the moment you leave this Ancestral Martial Cultivation World, you die. And even here, you'll be nothing more than a madman."
"This is what happens when you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
After finishing those words, Qingyu Ruize produced ten more Soul-Devouring Poison Centipedes.
A full ten Soul-Devouring Poison Centipedes all surged into Chu Feng's body at once.
This time, Chu Feng truly could not take it anymore. His heart-rending screams echoed through the underground palace like rolls of thunder.
