"Trust you? With the likes of you, you think you can find the Dark Flow Immortal River?"
"If you ask me, you think we're fools?"
The member of the Blue Winged Monster Clan waved his large sleeve, and a massive wave of power crashed down upon Chu Ping.
Ughhh— Chu Ping let out a miserable scream as his physical body shattered, his soul nearly scattering into nothingness.
But just then, a strange power enveloped him, gathering Chu Ping's soul back together and reconstructing his physical body.
Though now there was only a single bloody wound left on Chu Ping's body, without that strange power, the previous strike would have been more than enough to kill him.
"Forget it, let them go."
"Besides, within the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm, with the protection of the formation's power, it's impossible to kill them anyway."
At that moment, someone among the Blue Winged Monster Clan spoke up.
"Hmph, letting them off that easily is far too lenient."
"We can't kill them, but we certainly still need to teach them a proper lesson." The one who had struck Chu Ping before said.
"My lord, I truly wasn't lying to you. We really did find the Dark Flow Immortal River. If you don't believe me, I can lead you there so you can see for yourself." Chu Ping pleaded desperately.
"Go with you to take a look? I don't have time to waste on the likes of you."
"Here's what you'll do — you lot kneel on the ground and kowtow to me one hundred times, loud and clear, and I'll let you go." The Blue Winged Monster Clan member said.
"Kneel and kowtow to you? Keep dreaming." The moment those words left the Blue Winged Monster Clan member's mouth, Chu Qing let out a furious shout.
"Shut your mouth."
However, the moment Chu Qing's words fell, the man flicked his sleeve and Chu Qing was sent flying through the air. When he hit the ground, mouthful after mouthful of blood spewed from between his lips, his face twisted in agony.
"I told you to keep your mouth shut."
Yet the man didn't stop. His single hand continued to wave through the air.
Each time it moved, a surge of powerful force shot from his palm and slammed into Chu Qing's body.
Right now, Chu Qing was like a puppet — utterly at the mercy of the man's manipulation, suffering his torment without the slightest ability to resist.
But Chu Qing was remarkably resolute. Despite enduring the man's brutal attacks, he clenched his teeth tight and didn't let out a single cry of pain.
"You've got backbone. Good — let's see how long you can keep it up."
Suddenly, the man twisted his wrist, his open palm shifting into a hand seal.
His other hand pointed directly at Chu Qing.
In an instant, streak after streak of dark red light shot from his fingertip, burrowing into Chu Qing's body.
Once inside, the dark red light writhed like worms, racing rapidly through every part of Chu Qing's body.
Ughhh—
