Chapter One
The flames blazed fiercely, sparks flying from them intermittently. The cold wind blowing in from the entrance made the flames tremble, as if mirroring the trembling hearts of the crowd. An atmosphere of terror filled the darkened hall. A vast multitude knelt on the floor, afraid to raise their heads, for above them sat their new leader, Su Ran, a cruel and merciless man whose methods of torture were utterly horrifi
"Bring him here." The words were spoken in a clear, cold tone, sounding like the voice of a young man in his early twenties, but carrying a deep, malevolent aura that sent shivers down the spines of everyone presen
As soon as he finished speaking, several sect followers dragged a disheveled and badly injured man through the main entrance. They bowed and said in a booming voice, "Inform the leader: the thief has been brought in. Deal with him as you see fit
He was tall and slender, wearing a red robe, his thick beard covering half his face. His eyes, sharp as two silent, bloodthirsty weapons, gleamed with a cold light. He stood on his elevated position and slowly surveyed the kneeling crowd below. A cold, oppressive aura seemed to seep into their hearts like threads, causing the kneeling crowd's legs to twitch. !"t.c.
A tense, dreadful silence fell over the hall for a long time. Suddenly, he used his immense inner strength to fly toward the hall and land firmly in front of the thief. The two sect members who had been accompanying the thief instinctively knelt and took two steps back, releasing the thief's arms and saying in trembling voices, "Master
The sect leader in red remained silent, looking at the man at his feet with a mocking smile. After a moment of silence, he raised his foot and gently placed it on the filthy man's face, gradually increasing his force until his face was distorted and he began to cough up blood slowly. The man struggled to raise his arms, his face contorted with hatred, gritting his teeth as he said clearly, "Su Ran, you will die a horrible death
Su Ran looked at the man lying on the ground with a mocking gaze and said coldly, "The victor is king, the vanquished is a scoundrel, and death is not to be regretted!" A bright red whip appeared in her hand without her noticing. With a sudden blow, the whip, carrying with it a fierce wind, lashed the man's body and dug into his skin. Blood gushed out instantly, and the man collapsed unconscious into a pool of bloo
When Su Ran saw the man lying motionless on the ground, she sneered at him, casting a cold glance at all the sect members present. "Whoever betrays me, Su Ran, will meet such a fate
The imposing and cruel voice was clearly audible in the hall, its echo reverberating for a long time, stirring the emotions of all those present. In an instant, the man lying on the ground was flung out of the door with a powerful slap, and Su Ran, too, vanished from the hal
l.!"d.!"."
The bedroom door slammed shut. Su Ran leaned against the wall, walked quickly to the bed, and sat down. With a wave of her hand, the wide-open door slammed shut.
He stared, leaning against the edge of the bed. His face was unnaturally flushed, covered in sweat. He breathed through his slightly open mouth, but his exhaled breath was scalding hot. The ferocity he had displayed in the main hall was completely gone. He felt as if a raging fire was burning in his lower abdomen, and his body trembled violently with each rapid breat
His thin, pale fingers with prominent knuckles reached into a hidden compartment on the bed. He pulled out a white jade medicine bottle, swallowed a pill quickly, and then tore open his belt. His hands hung motionless at his side
At this moment, his slightly raised eyes were half-closed, his eyelashes were slightly damp, his vision blurred, and a light flush of blush rose to his cheeks, as if he had applied blush, adding a touch of intriguing charm to his fierce and menacing appearance with his bear
Despite having a pill in his mouth, Su Ran felt dizzy and intensely hot throughout his body. He frowned and sat cross-legged on the bed. Before he could regain his balance, his body trembled violently. He quickly raised his weak arm and covered his mouth, afraid of making that unpleasant soun
As he gradually adjusted, he exhaled, focusing his internal energy in his energy center (dantian) and carefully directing it to the source of the burning heat in his lower abdomen, slowly feeding it. The intense heat that had been vying to penetrate his body seemed to subside, and his body temperature gradually decreased and stabilize
