Chapter 77: The Dust Settles
Although Liu Yu was basically convinced that she was not hiding anything or lying, he would not let his guard down.
After he compared the information obtained from Wu Chang, whether it was true or false would be clear at a glance.
With that in mind, Liu Yu turned his gaze toward Wu Chang.
Inside the soundproof barrier, Wu Chang was using various methods to torture Feng Guangyou, the mature and composed cultivator from the Feng Family, who was now in a pitiful state.
Feng Guangyou was currently rolling on the ground, his disheveled hair soaked with blood, his clothes torn and stained with blood and dirt, resembling a fallen prisoner in a dungeon.
Although the soundproof barrier blocked the noise, one could tell from his lip movements that his screams of anguish were definitely loud; compared to the little pain Feng Guanglin suffered, it was nothing.
"This Junior Brother Wu doesn't know where he learned these methods; he has quite a few tricks up his sleeve, one set after another."
The methods of cultivators are beyond the imagination of ordinary people; even without the right tools, there are many ways to torture someone using spells and magical power.
Liu Yu silently observed Wu Chang's every move, pondering that this Junior Brother Wu was different from those "ordinary" disciples in the sect; he seemed to have an interesting backstory.
However, it seemed that prying Feng Guangyou's mouth open would take some time, so Liu Yu did not urge him, instead patiently waiting in place.
At this moment, all six early stage qi refinement cultivators from the Feng Family had died, including the brave young cultivator who fell on the ruins of the ancestral hall, becoming a headless corpse.
With the death of the early stage qi refinement cultivators, more allied cultivators were free to join the siege.
The remaining few cultivators from the Feng Family were making a desperate struggle, but it seemed they couldn't hold out much longer.
As for the family members of those Feng cultivators, the dozens of mortals had been halved during the initial duel.
Later, the allied cultivators focused their attention on dueling the Feng cultivators, causing the remaining mortals to scatter in panic, fleeing in three different directions.
If they ran down the mountain, they would encounter the allied cultivators Liu Yu had arranged beforehand, and death would greet them directly; if they found a place to hide among the enemy on the mountain, perhaps they could breathe fresh air a little longer.
Little Eyebrow Mountain was neither too big nor too small, making it somewhat troublesome to find people. Hidden mortals might survive for a while, but they would still face the fate of death.
Dark clouds obscured the bright moon, the wind rustled, leaving the night dim and without light.
Liu Yu looked over at the battle between Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang.
Feng Tianwei was in an even worse situation; one of his arms had vanished, and he could die at any moment.
At this point, it was clear he had no trump cards. Had it not been for the two fearing his last-ditch counterattack, he would have long since met his end.
Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang were keeping him suspended from afar, attacking him from a distance with their magical artifacts, not giving him a chance to fight back.
Feng Tianwei fought in great frustration, roaring angrily but helplessly, occasionally cursing and provoking the two, trying to draw them into a direct confrontation.
But both Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang had cultivated for decades and were experienced fighters; they would not fall for such tricks.
They did not act impulsively because of Feng Tianwei's taunts; although they retorted verbally, they continuously controlled their magical artifacts without giving the enemy a moment’s respite.
Seeing this, Liu Yu prepared to take action.
Although according to the agreement, resources like spiritual stones and magical artifacts would belong to their side, and the Feng Family's resource points would be split between the two families, the wealth in Feng Tianwei's possession as the clan leader was undoubtedly the richest.
