Chapter 1032 Trying to Steal a Chicken but Losing the Rice Instead (2 Updates)
However, if they can get through this period, their physical functions can be restored to their peak level.

Even their pre-existing injuries will be completely healed after this formation is used for treatment.

It can be said that, apart from the pain, it was all benefits.

But the problem is that this pain is the most unavoidable part of the process.

To get through this, one must be a person of unwavering willpower.

Otherwise, so many people wouldn't have succumbed to torture and become traitors.

Long Ling couldn't help but feel sorry for these people; they were so pitiful, so incredibly pitiful.

Why play tricks on someone who is so principled and stubborn?

Now look what's happened, you're in trouble now, you don't even have a chance to beg for mercy.

Those traitors who couldn't withstand torture at least had the chance to betray and betray others.

But now these people lying in bed are in so much pain that they should be convulsing and screaming in agony.

Now, because some acupoints have been sealed by gold needles, not only is his body unable to move, but he can hardly even make a sound.

The feeling of bottling up all the pain inside your body... tsk tsk tsk, I can't even imagine it.

If someone has a weaker willpower, they might force themselves to get through it, and while their physical health might improve, their mental well-being will likely be ruined.

The dragon spirit, who had been somewhat angry, was now completely devoid of energy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt any extra sympathy.

The old man naturally realized that Xuan Chu was deliberately making these people suffer twice as much pain.

However, he knew even more clearly that the needles Xuan Chu used were all beneficial, except for the pain.

Therefore, even if he had opinions, he couldn't express them openly and honestly.

Does this mean that a grown man, because he is afraid of pain, cannot bear these benefits?

This method can heal all the hidden injuries they already had.

The suffering the old man endured to become the guardian of the bronze mirror was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Therefore, at this moment, in his eyes, enduring such a little pain in exchange for the endless benefits of healing was not worth mentioning.

Xuan Chu had run out of silver needles, while several other people were lying on the other bed.

"President, please give me a few more sets of silver needles."

Upon hearing the words "silver needles," the guild leader seemed to react as if he had been stressed.

Even though not a single needle pricked him, seeing the person on the bed who looked like a hedgehog...

Especially when you see that person's eyes wide with rage.

The president inexplicably felt that whenever he heard the word "needle," he felt pain all over his body.

Xuan Chu watched the president for a while without any reaction, so he had to speak again.

"President?"

The president finally realized what was happening and quickly said, "I'll go get it right away!"

At that moment, he had clearly forgotten that he was the president.

For such a trivial matter as fetching silver needles, he could simply instruct his subordinates; there was no need for him to go personally.

Even his own men forgot to remind him.

The president disappeared in a flash, as if someone was chasing him.

The dragon spirit's aura has now completely dissipated.

He stopped sitting, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked over to Xuan Chu's side.

As he passed the old man, his eyes clearly showed a hint of contempt.

It was as if they were saying, 'What kind of class do you have that you deserve to share a room with me?' The old man's expression immediately changed upon seeing this.

If he hadn't already fought against Long Ling and Xuan Chu, the old man would have already made a move based on Long Ling's current gaze.

In the past, anyone who dared to look at him more than once would have their eyes gouged out, let alone such a contemptuous look.

But the old man can only endure it for now.

This was the first time he had swallowed his anger like this since becoming the guardian of the bronze mirror.

Long Ling leaned closer and took a closer look at the man who had been pricked like a hedgehog.

Looking at him, he could only consciously endure endless pain, his entire face contorted and deformed from the agony.

Large beads of sweat dripped down his body, and the veins on his forehead looked like they were about to burst.

A smug expression appeared on Long Ling's face.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this must have been quite a ordeal. If the injury hadn't been so severe, there would have been no need for your unique acupuncture technique, Senior Brother."

This is what it means to kill someone by destroying their spirit.

Long Ling seemed to be expressing regret, but in reality, she was subtly telling these people that they had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.

They deliberately injured themselves in an attempt to shirk the responsibilities they were supposed to bear.

Now, things are much worse; instead, we're suffering even more.

Perhaps if they had bravely taken responsibility, the punishment they received wouldn't have been so severe.

Just by looking at his current appearance, you can tell that he is living a life worse than death.

Just then, the president hurriedly returned with a wooden box.

The box contained brand new silver needles, never used before.

Now that they're out of the market, they're ready to take on big business, which is a testament to the mission they were forged for.

Xuan Chu slowly took the box, opened it, and then took out all the silver needles inside, arranging them one by one.

This action should have been pleasing to the eye.

However, after all those exciting moments...

To others, Xuan Chu's actions now appear comparable to the manipulation of torture instruments before a brutal execution.

This scene amused Long Ling greatly.

I never expected Xuan Chu to have such a mischievous side; look how scared these people are.

If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, these people would probably have been scared away.

But Long Ling is someone who loves to watch the drama unfold.

She smiled and asked, "Senior brother, do you need my help?"
Just then, a cool breeze blew in from outside.

The feeling of being enveloped by a sticky, cold, and terrifying aura sent a chill down the spine of most of the others.

"Well... um... I have some things to take care of over there, so I have to go now."

The president spoke first; the atmosphere here was just too strange, and he couldn't stand it any longer.

Logically speaking, these Xuan Masters, who are feared even by ghosts and demons, shouldn't be so cowardly in the face of such a small situation.

However, those present inexplicably felt uneasy all over.

Even though they weren't the ones being stabbed, it was as if they had also been subjected to the torture.

There are three people lying in this bed.

If they continued watching, it felt like they were going to endure this torture three more times, and they simply couldn't bear to watch anymore.

After the president finished speaking, he turned and left, without waiting for Xuan Chu and Long Ling to agree or not.
