Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Not Easy to Mess With

The two women finally realized that the man before them would never let them go easily. If they didn’t compromise, what awaited them would be even more terrifying torture.

"You... you dare not..." One of them was still making a final struggle, but her voice was already weak and powerless, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The other couldn’t bear it anymore, painfully closing her eyes, her lips trembling, her voice tinged with a hint of pleading, "No... don’t torture us anymore..."

Ye Qingchen observed the scene, coldly smiling as the Spiritual Power in his hand suddenly tightened, the invisible chains binding them like iron, with the pain coming like a tidal wave.

"Last chance." He said coldly, his voice carrying an undeniable threat, "Are you going to talk or not?"

Finally, the two women could no longer endure the extreme pain, one of them completely collapsed, her voice trembling, "Alright... I’ll talk! She... she was moved to another... hidden cell... Only a few people know about it..."

Ye Qingchen released the Spiritual Power from his hand with a cold laugh, and the two women immediately collapsed to the ground, as if drained of strength, their bodies still trembling uncontrollably.

Their stubbornness and mockery had long disappeared, replaced by endless fear and despair.

Ye Qingchen let out a cold laugh, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He slowly turned around, speaking to Xiao Xiao who was standing by, "Xiao Xiao, you stay here and watch them. I will go find Qin Yue. If they dare lie to me... I’ll make sure not to spare them upon my return."

His tone was icy and ruthless, each word carrying a sharpness akin to a blade, filled with threatening intent.

Upon hearing these words, the two women’s faces turned ashen, their bodies trembling slightly, evidently intimidated by Ye Qingchen’s harshness.

Xiao Xiao earnestly nodded, her gaze revealing firmness and loyalty, as she replied without hesitation, "Young master, go confidently, I’ll take care of things here."

Though her voice was gentle, her tone carried a touch of indisputable resolve.

She knew the importance of Ye Qingchen’s instructions to her and would not slacken in the slightest.

Ye Qingchen nodded in satisfaction, turning around swiftly to walk towards the depths of the side hall.

Although appearing calm, his steps carried a sense of urgency, clearly worried for Qin Yue’s safety.

Watching Ye Qingchen’s figure gradually disappear, the two women breathed a sigh of relief, as if the boulder pressing on their hearts was finally lifted. They exchanged a glance, feeling a bit of luck as the suffocating pressure eased with Ye Qingchen’s departure.

However, they dared not relax just yet; taking advantage of Xiao Xiao’s distracted moment, they quietly moved their bodies, attempting to find an opportunity to escape. Their movements were cautious, fearing to catch Xiao Xiao’s attention.

Yet, all this didn’t escape Xiao Xiao’s eyes. Her seemingly relaxed expression instantly turned harsh, her gaze sweeping over the two women like a blade.

She slowly approached them, sternly and threateningly saying, "I advise you not to move recklessly. What the young master instructed, I will not take lightly. If you dare play tricks, I’ll show you what it means to wish for death."

Her voice was low and icy, carrying an invisible pressure that rendered the two women immobile.

Their previously restless thoughts were immediately extinguished, leaving them rigidly lying on the ground, not daring to make any further moves.

The two women dared not make any small movements now; their eyes filled with fear, they could only look helplessly at Xiao Xiao. They understood that this seemingly young girl was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao hummed in satisfaction, her mind increasingly focused on Ye Qingchen’s instructions.

Her gaze firmly locked onto the two women, always prepared to act, leaving them no chance to escape.

Seeing no escape, the two women could only momentarily abandon their struggle, exchanging a silent glance to convey mutual understanding.

Then, they took a deep breath, silently activating the Demonic Qi within their bodies, attempting to heal their injuries.

The Demonic Qi within them flowed like a black undercurrent through their meridians, gradually converging at their injured areas.

The Demonic Qi carried a cold and sinister power, seemingly possessing endless vitality, causing flesh and meridians to begin healing quickly wherever it passed.

Black mist slowly seeped from their bodies, enveloping them like a faint dark fog.

They closed their eyes, their expressions serious, concentrating entirely on controlling the Demonic Qi within them to restore their strength and wounds.

The black mist gradually thickened, seemingly carrying an evil aura, making the air in the entire side hall turn cold.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao suddenly sensed an extremely unstable breath coming from behind.

The Demonic Qi that had been suppressed in her body suddenly became more restless due to the influence of external Demonic Qi.

The feeling was like a calm lake suddenly hit by a boulder, stirring ripples that gradually got out of control.

Shocked, Xiao Xiao immediately realized her body’s Demonic Qi was surging uncontrollably. She quickly turned her head, her gaze alertly fixed on the two women manipulating Demonic Qi, her mind in turmoil.

"It’s bad!" she cursed inwardly. She knew her current state was very dangerous, and if she didn’t suppress the Demonic Qi in time, it could backfire, causing irreparable consequences.

But she couldn’t care about anything else now, quickly sitting cross-legged on the spot, her hands swiftly forming hand seals, closing her eyes to focus on suppressing the restless Demonic Qi within.

Xiao Xiao’s breathing became rapid, clearly sensing the turbulent power within relentlessly impacting her meridians, attempting to break her control.

She could only grit her teeth, forcibly suppressing the Demonic Qi in her Dantian to prevent it from spreading everywhere.

She struggled to calm herself, trying to use her mind to soothe the violent energy.

However, this suppression wasn’t easy; each rebound of the Demonic Qi brought a wave of pain, as if her entire body’s meridians were being torn apart.

Time passed second by second, Xiao Xiao already drenched in cold sweat, her face as pale as paper, clearly fighting with all her strength against the Demonic Qi within.

Yet, as the Demonic Qi gradually calmed down, she finally let out a sigh of relief, silently praying for Ye Qingchen to return soon.

As she concentrated on suppressing the Demonic Qi, the two women’s eyes glinted momentarily; they sensed Xiao Xiao’s breath becoming chaotic, faintly guessing that she might be suffering from the effect of Demonic Qi.
