At the same time, in the forest behind the Celestial Martial Academy.

There was a clearing.

On a wooden stake in the clearing, a woman was tied up and unconscious.

"Splash water to wake her up," the Divine Wolf ordered.

His subordinates splashed water on Bai Suyi to awaken her.

"What... what do you want to do?" Bai Suyi shivered as she woke up.

"What do I want? Hehe, you’re so beautiful, but since Ye’s not lucky enough to enjoy you, my brothers and I will help him with that."

In Divine Wolf’s eyes, a glint of greed and malice flashed.

Bai Suyi finally understood that these people captured her to deal with Ye Qingtian.

"Qingtian won’t come. You might as well give up."

Upon hearing this, Divine Wolf sneered, "The name Qingtian sounds so tender. Come, call me ’good brother,’ let me hear it."

Ptooey!

Bai Suyi spat in Divine Wolf’s face.

Slap!

Divine Wolf wiped off the spit and slapped Bai Suyi.

"You filthy woman, I give you face, and you dare spit on me? Do you have a death wish?" Divine Wolf fumed.

Bai Suyi spat out two teeth and blood from her mouth, her beautiful eyes full of hatred: "Divine Wolf, are you even a man? Is that all the strength you’ve got?"

Being looked down upon by a woman, Divine Wolf immediately flew into a rage.

"Bring me the needles!" Divine Wolf shouted with a livid expression.

Then, his subordinates brought forth a box of iron needles.

"You should know what it means by ’ten fingers linked to the heart.’" Divine Wolf said, grabbing Bai Suyi’s fair hand, and viciously stabbing a long needle into her little finger!

Bai Suyi didn’t scream, but the piercing pain made her pass out.

"Wake her up!" Divine Wolf ordered.

After Bai Suyi was splashed awake, Divine Wolf sneered, "Girl, now if you beg me and willingly offer yourself, I can spare you."

Ptooey!

Bai Suyi spat blood onto Divine Wolf’s face.

Hmm?

Soon, all ten of Bai Suyi’s fingers had long needles stabbed into them.

Bai Suyi fainted a total of ten times, while Divine Wolf reveled ten times.

"Divine Wolf, if you’ve got the guts, kill me!"

Upon hearing this, Divine Wolf paused for a moment, then cruelly said, "Kill you? It’s not time yet."

"I want to humiliate you in front of Ye Qingtian!"

"You don’t know how strong that man truly is, I advise you not to seek death," Bai Suyi chuckled coldly.

"That kid has some skill, able to send me flying with one slap."

"But so what, I’ve invited a big shot."

Clapping his hands, a dark mist appeared in the clearing.

Then, a faceless figure appeared before everyone.

The first feeling Bai Suyi had upon seeing this person was a violent shiver.

This person was like a scorpion, making her skin crawl.

In all her days at Celestial Martial Academy, no one had ever given Bai Suyi this feeling.

This person was definitely a master among masters.

"I specially invited Lord Scorpion King to deal with Ye Qingtian!"

Divine Wolf spoke with a sinister look on his face.

"Bai Suyi, as a student of Celestial Martial Academy, you should be familiar with the major events in the academy’s history, right?"

"Twenty years ago, Celestial Martial Academy was shaken to its core by a mysterious figure, and thousands of students were slaughtered by this person."

"Even Dean Luo was severely injured, and in the end, the Old Buddha of the academy had to personally come forth and battle the mysterious figure for ten days and nights."

"In the end, that old witch used deceit to make the mysterious figure lose by a trick."

"The mysterious figure went into exile, and even the Hidden Sect’s Seven Extremes were trampled underfoot by him."

"The mysterious figure is none other than Lord Scorpion King, but over the years, Lord Scorpion King has been very low-key and hasn’t minded the Hidden Sect’s affairs, so people have gradually forgotten about this powerful figure."

At this, Divine Wolf burst into laughter: "Just a couple of years ago, our King Demon Sect allied with Lord Scorpion King. Recently, my cousin, the Divine-Demon Young Master, learned about Ye Qingtian’s entanglements with Princess Yao’Er. That kid publicly insulted me, called me garbage, and forced me to kneel and admit to a family death."

"This is equivalent to a severe humiliation to the King Demon Sect, so my cousin, the Divine-Demon Young Master, dispatched Lord Scorpion King to kill Ye Qingtian!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Suyi’s expression grew solemn.

The Divine-Demon Young Master is the heir of the King Demon Sect, and his father, the Divine-Demon King, is one of the Hidden Sect’s Seven Extremes.

Although he’s always been low-key, the Hidden Sect lacks no legends about him.

No one who crossed him has ever survived.

When he came to Celestial Martial Academy for cultivation, even Dean Luo personally received him.

The scandal between Ye Qingtian and Yao’er stirred his murderous intent.

Thinking of this, Bai Suyi’s face turned even paler.

Someone of the Divine-Demon Young Master’s level is far beyond the reach of ordinary young nobles.

He represents the King Demon Sect, one of the Seven Major Sects of the Hidden Sect!

At this moment, Ye Qingtian arrived with Yao Bing.

"Trash, you’ve come."

Divine Wolf looked malicious.

"Divine Wolf, Mr. Ye and Princess Yao’Er are friends, don’t act recklessly," Yao Bing frowned and said.

If it were in the past, Divine Wolf would absolutely obey.

But now he had Lord Scorpion King backing him and the Divine-Demon Young Master as his patron.

He wasn’t afraid!

"Yao Bing, you’re actually siding with outsiders. Fine, today I’ll deal with you too!"

Divine Wolf snorted coldly.

Then, he waved his hand, and a spirit array enveloped everyone.

"None of you can escape now!" Divine Wolf arrogantly declared.

At this moment, Ye Qingtian glanced at Bai Suyi, the hostility brewing within him.

"Qingtian, you... shouldn’t have come." Bai Suyi bit her lip, suddenly choked with emotion.

Even through the torture, she hadn’t even furrowed her brows.

She felt it was her fault that Ye Qingtian was in danger, thinking if not for her, Ye Qingtian wouldn’t face such peril.

"Ten needles!"

The icy words seemed to come from the depths of an icy abyss.

Ye Qingtian’s gaze was as sharp as a sword, slowly fixating on Divine Wolf, with killing intent surging.

"I can scold her, I can hit her, I can humiliate her, I can despise her, but you cannot."

"You stabbed her with ten needles, I will make you repay a hundredfold, I will stab a thousand needles into you!"

What?

Stab a thousand needles into me?

Upon hearing this, Divine Wolf burst into hysterics.

As if he’d heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.

"Haha... you’re a useless student. I’ll right now, in front of you, take your woman!"

As he spoke, he tore off Bai Suyi’s top.

Bai Suyi was left with only a small undershirt to cover herself.

Then, he ripped off her skirt too.

Below she was left with a small patch to cover herself.

"Haha, you garbage student, with your pathetic skills, you dare act arrogant? I’m currently humiliating your woman, what can you do?"

"I won’t just humiliate your woman, I’ll viciously ravage her right in front of you, show you, first-hand, just how many positions I know!"

Divine Wolf sneered.

"Divine Wolf, you’re going too far!"

Yao Bing couldn’t stomach it any longer and directly intervened. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Divine Wolf was momentarily taken aback, knowing Yao Bing was stronger than him, so he quickly sought help from Lord Scorpion King.
