The moment his fingers touched the cold metallic feel, his eyes hardened, and he swiftly pulled out the crossbow!

The Zhuge Soul Crossbow reflected a cold metallic luster under the sunlight, its springs fully charged!

Liu Zheng realized something was wrong and hurriedly raised his sword to block, but his seriously injured body slowed down his reaction speed!

Om-!

Puff puff!

Liu Zheng stared wide-eyed, looking down at the blood blooming on his chest.

In less than half a second, before the astonishment on his face had even faded, Dai Mubai's second wave of attacks arrived!

puff!

Throat!

Puff puff!

Heart, eyes, spleen!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Liu was in excruciating pain.

His body turned into a leaky, tattered sack, with blood splattering everywhere!

He fell backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

Dust rose up, then was stained dark red by the blood mist.

Liu Zheng's pupils dilated, and he fell silent.

However, the destructive soul power of the Zhuge Soul-Guiding Crossbow still exploded on his body!

They didn't even spare the remaining remains!

"Liu Zheng!" Feng Chang exclaimed in shock, "Damn it, you actually used a soul-guided weapon!"

"Is there a rule against using it? Huh? Hahahaha!"

Dai Mubai laughed wildly, a mixture of relief at surviving a close call and fear of not being out of danger.

"Teacher Ye, may I leave now?"

“Of course not,” Ye Hua said expressionlessly. “You can live, but you can’t leave.”

Dai Mubai was stunned, as if struck by lightning, "You're playing me?!"

"How could this be?" Ye Hua opened his [Heavenly Dream Domain], pulling Dai Mubai into his spiritual world.

"No!" Dai Mubai exclaimed in terror, but he had no choice.

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Relax, I just want to ask you some questions."

"This is quite important to me."

Chapter 300 Dai Mubai was stunned. Why did Davis come?

The emptiness of the spiritual world is like an overturned ink bottle, pitch black, with not a ray of light penetrating it.

Dai Mubai was breathing rapidly, frantically waving his arms, trying to grab onto something, but only encountered nothingness.

"Where am I!" His voice echoed in the void. "Let me out! Ye Hua! Come out!"

Only deathly silence answered him.

Dai Mubai's legs began to weaken, and his knees trembled involuntarily.

"Ye Hua! I know you can hear me!" he roared. "What are you trying to do?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the void in front of Dai Mubai changed.

In the blink of an eye, a chilling scene unfolded!

The cold iron fence, the chains covered with dark red rust, the damp and chilly ground.

Dai Mubai was horrified; his hands were firmly locked in shackles!

The iron chain was connected to the wall behind him. After struggling for a couple of seconds, it made his wrist bones ache terribly!

"Where...where is this?"

"Why did Ye Hua bring me here?"

Dai Mubai swallowed hard, suppressing his inner panic.

"Dai Mubai." Ye Hua's voice finally came through.

Dai Mubai quickly turned his head and saw Ye Hua lying on the recliner, legs crossed, twirling a triangular cone-shaped ice crystal in his hand.

Ye Hua raised the [Ice God's Tear], suspending it in front of Dai Mubai, "Your Star Luo Empire also has a similar national treasure, right?"

Dai Mubai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head frantically.

"I don't know! National treasures are always known only to core members of the royal family!"

"I've been hunted down by Davis for so long that I can't even go back to the palace, how could I possibly know!"

He speaks extremely fast, as if he wants to pour out his words like beans.

"Ye Hua, you have to believe me! I really didn't know!"

“Okay,” Ye Hua smiled, “I don’t know.”

Dai Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly saw Ye Hua waving.

Whoosh!

The iron chain tightened, pulling Dai Mubai into a spread-eagle position, suspending him in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, a leather whip dipped in salt water lashed across his back, tearing his skin and causing bleeding!

The salt water poured into the wound hurt so much that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

Before he could even scream, the second, third, fourth, and fifth lashes came down in quick succession!

Shoulder blades, waist, inner thighs—leaving no area untouched!

It's like they deliberately targeted the most painful spots!

"Aaaaaah!" Dai Mubai screamed, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

"I really don't know! You could beat me to death and I still wouldn't know!"

Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly, said nothing, but waved his hand again.

The iron chair flew in front of Dai Mubai, his upper body still hanging in mid-air, while his lower body was pressed down onto the chair.

The red bricks were placed under his feet, rising higher and higher. The excruciating pain caused his pupils to dilate and the veins on his forehead to bulge!

"Aren't you going to tell me?"

Ye Hua summoned the ice sword and aimed it at Dai Mubai's tendons.

Dai Mubai's eyes widened. "Ye Hua! Wait!"

"Hmm." Ye Hua put down the ice sword.

"Please forgive me! I really didn't know!"

"Hmm?" Ye Hua sneered.

Dai Mubai was nearly driven mad, "I don't know! I freaking don't know!"

"What crime have I committed to deserve such torment!"

Seeing him weeping uncontrollably and crying out his innocence, Ye Hua couldn't help but marvel at the sight.

How come I didn't know before that this guy's bones are even harder than Tang San's?

Ye Hua stood up, looked down at him, and said, "Don't you understand?"

"Do you still remember when you abandoned Zhu Zhuqing, leaving her to face Zhu Zhuyun's pursuit alone?"

Dai Mubai's crying stopped abruptly, and his shoulders trembled.

“Well,” he said with a wry smile, “you shouldn’t mention this old, pockmarked, rotten grain, should you?”

"Look, isn't Zhu Zhuqing doing quite well with you? Much better than me, a good-for-nothing!"

"Since she's happy, you..."

Snapped!

A resounding slap!

Dai Mubai was dumbfounded.

"No wonder he's a coward; even his thinking carries the sorrow of a coward!"

"If someone hurts you, and you're doing well now, you won't hold them accountable?"

"Let criminals go unpunished, live comfortably, and then turn around and bite back?"

"Ye Hua," Dai Mubai cried, on the verge of tears, "I admit I'm a good-for-nothing, a coward, and shameless. Please... please let me go!"

"Ha," Ye Hua sneered, "Still daydreaming?"

"You spread rumors targeting the soul system, and you brought people to cause trouble. How many times do you think you'd die?"

Dai Mubai trembled all over, unable to even cry, and could only try to explain in a hoarse voice.

"I...I was forced into it too!"

"It's Tang San! Tang San forced me!"

"He said I wouldn't help him, so he dumped me on Davis. I had no choice!"

Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly. "Alright, I'll believe you for now. Confess and you'll be treated leniently. Do you actually have anything similar to a national treasure?"

"I do not know."

"..."

“Excellent,” Ye Hua took a deep breath. “Since you’re not cooperating, let’s meet him.”

He clapped his hands, and a person emerged from the darkness outside the cell.

Wearing a purple robe with gold trim and a cold, stern expression, he was none other than David, the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire!

Dai Mubai opened his mouth in an instant, his head tilted back, and his whole body convulsed!

"You! It's you! Ahhh!"

"Tsk tsk," Davis bent down and leaned closer, looking Dai Mubai up and down. "Look at him, my dear brother, how did he end up like this?"

"Big brother..." Dai Mubai forced a smile.

"Huh?" Davis raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

Snapped!

A crisp, clear sound rang out, and Dai Mubai's left cheek swelled up.

“Who is your elder brother?” Davis waved his hand. “Let me tell you, Father has officially made me the Crown Prince, and your status as a prince has been erased from the family genealogy.”

"From this day forward, you, Dai Mubai, are nothing but a lowly commoner, even worse than a villager from a remote, impoverished area!"

These words were like a red-hot iron block, pressing hard into Dai Mubai's heart!

"What?!" Dai Mubai nearly fainted.

He lost Zhu Zhuqing, lost his reputation, and even his fighting ability deteriorated.

His status as a prince was the ultimate cost of his pride!

And then they'll be deprived of it?

"Davis...I'll kill you!"

"I'll kill you and Ye Hua sooner or later!"

"You all just wait!"

Dai Mubai was hysterical.
