Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu frowned for a moment before they realized the reason for their prediction. "BuXiuzhe!"
"Hahaha." Xiao Hei laughed loudly before enveloping the two female immortals with her darkness. "Unfortunately, you two realized it too late, and Tian Shiwang won’t be able to save you now."
After she said that, Xiao Hei brought Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu into the Tianyi Realm. She then took them to the third floor of the Divine Yin-Yang Pagoda, stripped them naked, and chained them in two different rooms.
Xiao Shijian, Xiao Huoli, Xiao Diqiu, Feng Bing’er, and Xiao Kong’er appeared on the third floor.
Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu weren’t too afraid of the others, but they were extremely frightened of Xiao Shijian, especially since they knew full well about her closeness to Long Wang.
Xiao Shijian stretched both of her hands forward, making Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu suffocate as if she was strangling their necks. "Honestly, I wanted to kill you both for your betrayal of my old friend, but unfortunately, I had to hold myself back. However, you two better not think that your punishment will be just , especially since there is still a severe punishment waiting for you two."
"Aren’t you going to punish them?" Feng Bing’er asked her.
"No." Xiao Shijian shook her head in response. "Chen Li and Feng Xian’er have more right to punish them than I do, so I will wait for them to return and let them punish these two traitors."
Feng Bing’er nodded in understanding and looked at Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu with a cold smile on her face. "I don’t know what Chen Li will do to them, but my sister definitely won’t have any mercy toward them."
"Do you think Chen Li will have mercy on them?" Xiao Kong’er asked while shaking her head. "You should have realized that he has become increasingly evil in the past twenty years, especially since Hermit Long’s nature has influenced him. Once he gets his full memories, he will be as cruel as ever."
"I agree." Xiao Huoli spoke as she nodded. "Actually, Chen Li doesn’t need Hermit Long’s memories to become cruel, especially since he is already cruel by nature. He will thus not show mercy to Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu, and he will undoubtedly punish them severely."
Xiao Diqiu nodded his head repeatedly. "Hey, when will Big Sis Kong’qi and Sun Xiang’er be back? They’ve been gone for two years, so they should have gotten some profound veins, right?"
"Xiao Kong’qi will be back soon, but I haven’t gotten any news from Sun Xing’er, so I’ll contact her after this." Xiao Shijian then turned to Xiao Hei, who handed her a storage ring containing several types of profound veins. "Kong’er, their residence is finished, so I want you to go find Cheung Yongheng from the Eternal Night Demon Race, and we will go to the Celestial Realm after you bring him to me."
"Yes." Xiao Shijian then shared the information she got from Xiao Shui about the male demon with Xiao Kong’er. "Since he can undo Zu Zhoushi’s curse, we will bring him to the Celestial Realm to free Long Tianshi from his curse; otherwise, she will continue to weaken, and she will not be ready to face the final war against those traitors and the Dark Race."
"All right, I will look for him now." Xiao Kong’er immediately split the void and disappeared into it. The other female spirits left the tower, but Xiao Shijian remained in her spot, looking at Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu. She then waved her small hand, which caused a formation to envelop the room of the two women before she returned to the underground in the Ancient Qin Realm.
Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu felt a little relieved at their departure, but both remembered their conversation just now. They could immediately guess that Feng Xian’er was the reincarnation of Empress Feng, but they were still doubtful about Chen Li’s identity. However, they knew that Empress Feng and Emperor Long were inseparable, making them realize that he was his reincarnation. ’Shit! It’s true that Emperor Long is back! Damn it! He will definitely torture us!’
A few hours later, Chen Li and the others had returned from Earth. Xiao Shijian told him to go to the third floor of the Divine Yin-Yang Pagoda, but she did not say anything to him about Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu.
Lin Qingzhu and the others immediately returned to their residence to arrange the items they bought on Earth, especially since it was still completely empty.
Before he brought Feng Xian’er into the Tianyi Realm, Chen Li asked Xiao Shijian to stop taking care of the formation in the underground, and he asked her to install the time formation in their new residence first, so they could cultivate faster.
Chen Li and Feng Xian’er were surprised once they arrived at the third floor of the Divine Yin-Yang Pagoda, but their gazes turned cold once they saw Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu, causing both women to tremble in fear.
"Argh!" Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu screamed in pain as several fire arrows pierced both their hands and feet. "Empress... Empress Feng... We..."
"Shut up!" Feng Xian’er, who was usually always calm, suddenly burst into anger. She quickly entered Luo Bingyu’s room and strangled her neck. "Husband, you can take care of Bai Qingcheng, and I will take care of this bitch Bingyu."
Chen Li nodded at his wife, walked into Bai Qingcheng’s room, and transformed into his past form as Emperor Long.
"Arghhhh!" Luo Bingyu screamed in pain as soon as Feng Xian’er burned her face, causing her to suffer serious burns.
However, Feng Xian’er acted deaf and ignored Luo Bingyu’s screams of pain; instead, she used her phoenix flames to burn some parts of her body, causing the female immortal to continue screaming in pain. "Arghhh!"
"Emperor, I—Arghh!" Chen Li slammed Bai Qingcheng’s head into the wall behind her and pressed it there. ’Ugh! I will definitely die!’
Chen Li’s eyes turned golden, making Bai Qingcheng even more afraid of him. "Have you forgotten who gave you the chance to become the immortal? Have you forgotten who gave your Bai Clan the chance to become one of the best clans in the Five Divine Heavens? Xian’er and I have treated you well and given you many opportunities to reach your current level, but you joined the Dark Race and betrayed us."
"Emperor, I—Mhmm." Chen Li inserted a few fingers into Bai Qingcheng’s mouth, and she twisted her tongue quite hard, preventing her from speaking. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Do you think you have the right to speak?" Chen Li then took out a dagger and stabbed Bai Qingcheng’s chest, causing her to grimace further as blood flowed out of her chest. "Not only did you betray us, but you killed several of my concubines, and you also killed many of my loyal followers."
"Mhmmm!" Bai Qingcheng’s blood spurted from one stab wound in her chest, but Chen Li immediately stabbed his dagger into a different area of her chest, causing her additional excruciating pain. "Mhmmm!"
Chen Li raised an eyebrow slightly as he watched the stab wound on Bai Qingcheng’s chest earlier disappear on its own, and he finally realized that Xiao Shijian had set up a time formation in the room of the two women. "Xian’er, Shijian has set up a reversal formation here, so you can torture Luo Bingyu slowly and let her feel our suffering a thousand years ago."
Upon hearing that, Feng Xian’er stopped burning Luo Bingyu’s body and noticed that all the burns on her own body were disappearing quickly, which made her smile in satisfaction.
On the other hand, Luo Bingyu shivered in horror, especially after she saw Feng Xian’er’s smile.
In the end, Chen Li and Feng Xian’er tortured Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu inside the pagoda for a whole month, which meant that three days passed in the outside world. The repeated torture finally broke the minds of the two women, leaving their eyes dull like dolls.
Even so, Bai Qingcheng and Luo Bingyu’s bodies were still as fresh as before, especially since they were cultivators with high cultivation levels, which made their bodies much stronger than other cultivators.
Chen Li immediately walked to Feng Xian’er’s side and hugged her. "Are you still not satisfied with torturing them?"
"Not yet." Feng Xian’er replied with a shake of her head. "I will ask Meiyi to restore their mentality, and I will torture them again afterward. Do you want to dual cultivate with them?"
"No." Chen Li immediately refused. "I won’t touch them, and I will let these chains absorb their Qi, so I just need to absorb it from both tubes."
Feng Xian’er nodded in understanding. "All right, then."
Xiao Shijian suddenly appeared in front of them. "Chen Li! Xian’er! I want you to prepare yourselves, and we will go to the Celestial Realm to save Long Tianshi once Kong’er finds Cheung Yongheng."
"Cheung Yongheng?" Xiao Shijian explained to them about the man. "All right, we will prepare from now on."
"Husband, I will return to our residence now."
"Yes." After Feng Xian’er left, Chen Li asked Xiao Shijian. "Have Kong’qi and Xing’er returned? Did they manage to find many profound veins?"
Xiao Shijian nodded at him. "Kong’qi returned yesterday, and she brought many profound veins. Chen Meiyi is currently matching them to the bodies of Mu Qing, Tierra, and the others. As for Sun Xing’er, she is in a distant realm now along with someone from the Three Realm, but I have asked her to return as soon as possible."
"Someone from the Three Realm?" Chen Li frowned at that, but Xiao Shijian immediately explained it to him. "So, it was Yue Huang who sent Yue Mengyi to help Xing’er?"
"I see." Chen Li nodded in understanding. "Let’s go back."
