Chapter 314: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (62)

Jun Jiuling let out a cold laugh. “If you don’t tell me, I have ways to make you speak.”

He released his grip and turned to Zuo Yi, saying calmly, “Begin.”

Shen Qingfeng coughed violently, but his mouth curled into a pleased smile.

However, it wasn’t long before he wished for death. The tortures inflicted on him were more painful than dismemberment, breaking even the strongest will.

Soaked as if pulled from the water, Shen Qingfeng was barely alive, a shadow of his once handsome self.

He opened his mouth, barely able to speak.

“I’ll tell…”

Jun Jiuling looked down at him, his gaze as cold as shards of ice, sending chills through anyone who saw it.

Shen Qingfeng looked up and slowly smiled, blood welling up in his chest before he spat it out. “If the Master wants to save his beloved, why not try… his own life-binding Gu?”

Before he could finish, You Yi interrupted angrily, “Master, don’t listen to his nonsense.”

Shen Qingfeng coughed again, blood seeping from his lips. “If the Master doesn’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”

Knowing his true family from a young age, he had infiltrated the Fire Lotus Sect, coordinating from within. Once discovered, he used a decoy to escape, but it turned out to be a setup to eradicate all of them.

Yet he hadn’t completely lost. Who would have thought that the Gu he placed on that girl in a moment of thought would play such a pivotal role today?

Regarding the life-binding Gu, he wasn’t sure; he was just using it to deceive Jun Jiuling. If it worked, their sacrifices wouldn’t be in vain; if not, it was Jun Jiuling’s fate.

Jun Jiuling’s eyes dropped, his gaze coldly fixed on Shen Qingfeng. “Zuo Yi, You Yi, take care of this.”

Zuo Yi and You Yi quickly agreed.

A cold smile played on Jun Jiuling’s lips as he looked at Shen Qingfeng, his eyes dark with unresolved anger. “You want to die? Not so easy. The pain you inflicted on her, I will return tenfold. Whether ten years, twenty years, or thirty years—it’s the same.”

With that, he turned and left.

The man’s overwhelming killing intent fell heavily on Shen Qingfeng, who could no longer bear it, showing a trace of fear.

What awaited him was endless suffering.

Waking up after a fitful sleep, Shen Mubai thought she would be very hungry, but when Yun Niang asked, she had no appetite.

She shook her head. “I don’t want to eat.”

Yun Niang sighed softly.

“You haven’t eaten much these days. I’ll get you some porridge. The strategist’s cooking is excellent.”

Shen Mubai nodded reluctantly.

She felt very tired, always wanting to sleep. The system said it was the Gu in her acting up.

Shen Mubai pouted pitifully, “This Gu is too annoying. It makes me take medicine and now won’t let me eat.”

The system felt a bit of sympathy, “Hang in there.”

Feeling sleepy again, Shen Mubai had just laid down when she heard the door open.

Thinking it was Yun Niang, she didn’t get up.

The person who entered sat by her bed and held her hand with a broad, warm hand.

“Bai Bai,” the voice called gently.
