The person had arrived, the dagger was revealed, and Han Yu's psychological defenses completely collapsed. No one could endure the excruciating torture known as Ling Chi; it was worse than death.
Who could possibly endure it?
Unable to die, yet unable to live on.
It was outright torture.
"I…I'll talk," Han Yu finally succumbed, hurriedly saying.
The pain of the soul still lingered; one could say that once Ling Chi commenced, both the soul and body would be in agony. It would be strange if one could indeed bear it.
"Speak," the leader commanded coldly, seeing his surrender.
Han Yu recounted the events in fits and starts, speaking uncomfortably as one's psychological defenses, once shattered, could never stand again.
Wen Jing and the others listened to what was said, especially Wen Jing, who came to a sudden realization. Yanran was indeed carrying the Phoenix Bloodline, but how could that possibly threaten Heavenly Beyond?
This shouldn't be the case.
