Wei Chenghao forced himself to remain calm and gritted his teeth as he said, "Li Ye, don't think that just because you've reached the Core Formation stage, you can do whatever you want. Cold Frost is still in my hands; if you touch me, she will undoubtedly die!"
Li Ye raised an eyebrow and coldly looked at Wei Chenghao, saying lightly, "Of course I know she's in your hands. Give her back to me!"
Wei Chenghao snorted twice, his tone filled with sarcasm: "Do you really think that's possible?"
Li Ye grinned wickedly and replied, "Very possible!" Before he finished speaking, Liu Fei and Specter quietly appeared beside him, like two Soul Devourers, swiftly charging towards Wei Chenghao.
Wei Chenghao was startled and hurriedly swung his sword to counterattack. However, as soon as his sword struck out, Specter's ghostly figure flashed past him, and the blade met nothing. At the same time, Liu Fei silently attacked from the side, striking towards Wei Chenghao's shoulder. Wei Chenghao felt a numbness in his shoulder and stumbled back a few steps.
Furious, Wei Chenghao swung his longsword again at Liu Fei, but she gracefully leaped aside to avoid his attack and retaliated with a palm strike to his chest. Wei Chenghao was sent flying by the blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Before he could regain his footing, Specter had already approached him from behind and pinned him to the ground with a chokehold.
Wei Chenghao struggled to fight back, but Specter's strength exceeded all his expectations. Her grip was like an iron claw, tightly squeezing his throat and making it nearly impossible for him to breathe. In extreme anger, Wei Chenghao threw punches with all his might, but each one was easily dodged by Specter, leaving him battered from her counterattacks.
Seeing this, Liu Fei walked forward with a smile and slowly said, "Wei Chenghao, look at you now." Her words carried a hint of mockery as she watched Wei Chenghao's miserable state like a cat playing with a mouse.
Wei Chenghao's eyes widened as he gritted his teeth and roared in fury: "You damned monsters! Face me head-on if you dare!"
Specter smiled lightly, her voice icy: "Face you head-on? Is this not direct enough?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she forcefully slammed Wei Chenghao down onto the ground. He felt as if all the bones in his body were about to shatter; the pain nearly made him lose consciousness. But he knew that if he passed out now, what awaited him would be even crueler torment.
Liu Fei looked at Wei Chenghao and slowly crouched down, her fingers gently tracing his cheek. Her tone was soft yet chilling: "Wei Chenghao, do you regret offending the master now?"
Wei Chenghao shouted in exasperation: "You will never make me submit!"
Liu Fei and Specter exchanged glances and smiled at each other. Liu Fei softly said: "Then enjoy the pain that follows."
Liu Fei suddenly struck Wei Chenghao's chest with a powerful palm, while Specter lightly grazed his skin with its claws, leaving behind a trail of blood. Wei Chenghao's screams echoed in the night, but no matter how he struggled, he could not escape the torment of the two zombies.
Wei Chenghao was completely crushed, the two zombies toyed with him like hunters playing with their prey, provoking his anger while rendering him helpless. Every counterattack he attempted was easily neutralized, and every struggle only brought him deeper pain.
The two zombies bound the battered Wei Chenghao to a tree. Li Ye looked at Wei Chenghao coldly and said, "Tell me where you hid Cold Frost. The sooner you speak, the sooner this ends, and you can spare yourself further suffering."
Wei Chenghao glared at Li Ye, spat out blood, and gritted his teeth as he replied, "Hmph! If you have the guts, kill me! Your woman can accompany me to the grave! It's worth it!"
Li Ye shook his head and sighed, "Sigh, you’re forcing me to use the Great Memory Restoration Technique."
He stepped forward with a cold smile and said, "Don't worry; I won't let you die so quickly! I want you to understand that sometimes, death is a form of relief."
Li Ye summoned a purple Spiritual Energy hand that had an eerie shape, as if formed by countless vengeful spirits entwined together. He slowly pressed this Spiritual Energy hand against Wei Chenghao's forehead and began to chant an incantation softly.
Wei Chenghao felt a strong chill emanating from his head, as if countless cold snakes were slithering through his mind. His body began to convulse violently; everything around him blurred, and he heard countless piercing screams as if innumerable souls were tearing at his spirit.
Li Ye's voice was cold and icy: "This is just the beginning. This is the resentment of Qingyang City’s Common People manifesting; they will make you relive all the pain and fear of your life over and over again until your will breaks."
Wei Chenghao experienced excruciating agony; it felt as though his soul was being sliced by countless blades, every inch of his skin trembling in intense pain. He saw flashes of his life: from childhood helplessness to youthful struggles, from the sweetness of first love to the pain of heartbreak, from slaughter on the battlefield to betrayal by brothers—every memory ruthlessly replaying in his mind.
But that wasn't enough; Li Ye unleashed another terrifying torment. He took out a vial of potion from his pocket and dripped a few drops onto Wei Chenghao's wounds. The potion was highly corrosive; upon contact with skin, it hissed loudly as flesh rapidly rotted away, emitting a nauseating odor.
Wei Chenghao was in so much pain that he nearly fainted, but the control of the Spiritual Energy hand prevented him from losing consciousness; he could only endure this unbearable suffering while fully awake. His body convulsed continuously as he let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Li Ye chuckled coldly and said, "How does it feel? This is a potion made by Zhiruo. Fun, right? I have all the time and means in the world."
Then, Li Ye condensed countless tiny needles with Spiritual Energy, piercing every inch of Wei Chenghao's skin. These Spiritual Energy needles brought intense pain, as if countless ants were gnawing at him from within, making each second feel like an eternity.
Wei Chenghao's eyes were filled with despair; he had never imagined that such cruel torment could exist in the world. His will was crumbling continuously, and finally, unable to endure the endless suffering any longer, he trembled and said, "I will tell you... I will tell you... Cold Frost... Cold Frost is... in the cave ahead."
Li Ye smiled slightly, stopping the torment, and coldly said, "Good, just say it. I hope you are not lying to me; otherwise, I have more ways to make you wish you were dead."
Wei Chenghao gasped heavily, his eyes filled with fear and humiliation. He knew he could no longer contend with this demon.
Li Ye walked to the cave mentioned by Wei Chenghao and saw Cold Frost lying unconscious. He shook his head and sighed, "You really don't make things easy for me." As he spoke, Li Ye activated the Soul Mimicry Technique, forcing the soul runes in Cold Frost's consciousness to awaken her. After a brief convulsion, Cold Frost knelt before Li Ye and said apologetically, "Master, I am at fault for causing trouble for you!"
Li Ye shook his head and gently said, "Just be more careful next time. Let's go." Cold Frost cautiously followed behind Li Ye like a child who had done something wrong. When Li Ye returned to Wei Chenghao's presence, he sneered and said, "You are smart for not lying." With a wave of his hand, Liu Fei and Specter, two zombies, escorted Wei Chenghao back to their base along with Cold Frost.
Upon seeing Wei Chenghao, Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen were filled with anger and hatred; their gazes seemed capable of tearing him apart. After all, the two women were witnesses to the massacre in Qingyang City.
Li Ye looked at everyone and pointed at Wei Chenghao, his voice icy as he declared, "Everyone, this man is the mastermind behind the massacre in Qingyang City! Now I am taking him back to Qingyang City! I want to give an account to all the souls who died unjustly under the city walls of Qingyang City!"
The crowd responded in unison with murderous intent. Li Ye led everyone as they escorted Wei Chenghao towards Qingyang City.
Along the way, Wei Chenghao was escorted in the center of the group. Liu Fei and Specter tightly guarded him on either side while Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen walked beside Li Ye with complex expressions. Remembering everything that had happened in Qingyang City, the two women felt a deep sense of sorrow.
With books there is length; without books there is brevity. The walls of Qingyang City gradually came into view; faint figures of city guards could be seen on the city tower—those were the troops granted by the emperor to Li Ye for guarding the city. Qingyang City still bore its dilapidated appearance; the city guards had not received orders to rebuild Qingyang City but were merely camped there waiting for Li Ye's return to give instructions.
