If I had to describe Fei Yue's current feelings, it would be a mixture of intense fear and deep confusion.

The intense fear stemmed from the fact that the new leader had accurately identified the power behind him.

It was none other than Lord Chunshen, Huang Xie, one of the four lords of the Seven Kingdoms, from the Huang clan of the State of Chu.

What awaits him next?

Those who harbor disloyal intentions and are discovered in the snare often meet a tragic end.

If, among a group of spiders, one is found to be another insect in disguise, then that insect will inevitably be eaten by the other spiders.

Therefore, even if a very small number of people in the Luo Wang organization harbored disloyal thoughts, they never dared to reveal their identities in the slightest.

Because the net is essentially a giant spider web, encompassing everyone. Once someone is discovered to have ulterior motives, they will instantly transform from predator into prey.

What puzzled Fei Yue was why the new stage owner had confirmed his identity with just a few words.

Did the other party know about Lord Chunshen behind him from the very beginning? But judging from what the other party said at the beginning, it doesn't seem so.

So where exactly did things go wrong?

Fei Yue was quite certain that there was absolutely no problem with his answer.

If his answer is correct, then the problem lies with the person asking the question.

More precisely, it was the person asking the question who noticed the problem.

But how is that possible?

He couldn't imagine how the other person had managed to do it.

This feeling of being unknown and easily understood deeply tormented Fei Yue's heart.

But he may never know the answer.

Because the next second, a large hand gripped his throat tightly.

Li Ji grabbed his throat with one hand and lifted him off the ground until he was above his head.

The sudden feeling of suffocation caused Fei Yue's face to turn bright red. He tried to pry the arm around his neck with both hands, but the other person's large hand was as hard as iron and could not be moved an inch.

Just then, Fei Yue felt a slight chill spreading from the outside into his body.

One of the hunters looked up at that moment.

The new platform master held Fei Yue in mid-air with one hand, while streams of water, like water snakes, rapidly entered Fei Yue's body from the outside.

In just a few breaths, Fei Yue almost lost all mobility.

His right hand was in a pocket at his waist, where several poisoned darts were hidden, but he didn't even have the strength to pull them out.

Intense pain enveloped Fei Yue's entire body, and he almost lost all consciousness within a few breaths.

"Bang!"

Fei Yue fell to the ground from mid-air like a tattered sack.

At that height, Fei Yue didn't even let out a scream.

The hunters couldn't help but look in Fei Yue's direction, only to see a corpse that seemed to have been dead for a long time.

The corpse was swollen all over, as if it had been soaking in water for three days and three nights, and it already resembled a giant.

Those who saw it couldn't help but feel a shiver run through them.

It wasn't the corpse itself that frightened me, but the person who had transformed Fei Yue into such a corpse in such a short time.

Both Wuwo and Feimo felt a chill in their hearts.

That person seemed to genuinely know their identities.

They didn't believe that Fei Yue's identity could be revealed in just a few words.

In their eyes, the new platform owner was merely toying with his prey.

Just like some spiders, after catching their prey, they don't eat it immediately. Instead, they wrap the prey in silk and quietly watch the prey struggle.

They had all done this to some extent, but none of them made others as uneasy as this new station owner.

Because this person really crushed an insect as easily as if it were a worm, a feat so effortless it was chilling.

Now, Wuwo and Feimo are facing yet another internal test.

Should we stand up or not?

Perhaps, considering that they took the initiative to stand up, we might actually let them off the hook?

Even a one in ten or one in a hundred chance is better than being found out and facing certain death.

Just as Wuwo and Feimo were struggling with their decision, clear footsteps rang out again in the dungeon.

Li Ji once again strolled among the crowd.

The sand monster he had just encountered made him feel disgusted.

It was a venomous water insect with a hideous and terrifying appearance.

It was jet black and shiny, like a piece of rotten armor soaked in silt, with a thin layer of putrid mucus covering its skin.

There were only two dark, hole-like depressions in the eye sockets, with white, rotting flesh turned up at the edges, like wounds that had been rotting for a long time.

Li Ji wanted to wash this indescribable thing clean with water.

The result was a success; the other party finally lost its fishy smell under Li Ji's water.

Of course, Fei Yue also became a corpse as a result.

Perhaps only death can completely extinguish the evil within someone like Fei Yue.

Of course, to outsiders, this is a way for the new platform owner to torture his prey.

Because of that kind of pain, even just by observing, they could feel a chill.

So when the new station owner moved around again, everyone held their breath.

This time, the footsteps were very short, stopping after only about ten steps.

Li Ji approached a hunter with a dark, sallow complexion, dressed in a dark blue short-sleeved top.

Li Ji gave the man a deep look, then asked:

"What's your name?"

Fei Mo's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head to reply:

"Reporting to Your Excellency, my name is Fei Mo."

"Although your name contains the character 'silent,' you don't seem to have learned to be silent."

"I suppose the forces behind you frequently summon you, don't they?"

The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the air suddenly became somewhat eerie.

A bead of sweat immediately appeared on Fei Mo's forehead. He forced back his fear and replied:

"Please investigate this matter thoroughly, Your Excellency. I would never dare to commit such an act..."

However, before Fei Mo could finish speaking, a large, pale blue, water-shaped hand descended from the sky and pressed down on Fei Mo.

This water-shaped giant hand was about ten feet in size, incredibly solid, and carried immense force, instantly pressing Fei Mo down to the ground.

But that wasn't the end of it; the power in the water-shaped giant hand was still gradually increasing.

The surrounding mist continued to gather, and the pale blue water-shaped hand gradually deepened in color, with the pressure contained within increasing several times over.

"Spare me...please, Master, spare my life..."

Under the immense weight of the water-shaped palm, Fei Mo spat out blood and foam repeatedly.

"Master... have mercy on me..."

It's all because of that...

Fei Mo didn't finish uttering the last word, as it was covered by pressure several times heavier than before.

A teeth-grinding "crunch" sound rang in everyone's ears.

That was the sound of bones cracking.

In just over ten breaths, Fei Mo had already turned into a pile of minced meat.

In the end, Li Ji, who was closest to Fei Mo, heard the last word.

This is also why Li Ji caused his instant death.

That's the character 蟜.

When put together, it becomes a jiao (蟜).

If Li Ji remembers correctly, this seems to be the half-brother of the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng.

He is also the only younger brother.
