4. Great love warms a lost girl!
```html
The words had just fallen.
"Pfft."
Cen Xing'er collapsed to the ground, her beautiful eyes wide open, her cherry lips moving but unable to utter a single word!
"Follow me."
"It's time for you to understand your master's intentions."
After saying this, he didn't even glance at the young girl.
Bai Feng flicked his sleeve and rose.
"Master! Do you... not trust Xing'er?"
Cen Xing'er's cat-like eyes widened even more, brimming with tears.
"What do you think?"
Bai Feng slightly raised an eyebrow.
The young girl hurriedly shook her head, looking towards the endless darkness at the end of the corridor, trembling even harder,
"But...where does master want to take Xing'er?"
"Just follow me, don't ask more questions!"
Bai Feng maintained a distant expression, as if to keep strangers away.
"Yes!"
....
....
The master and disciple, one in front and one behind, traversed a long downhill corridor to reach the first underground level of the "Blood Kitchen".
The air here was filled with a sinister aura of magic, the stench of blood even more overpowering.
Cen Xing'er looked at the massive bone gate ahead, made of thousands of skulls, and felt a chill in her heart, instinctively stepping back.
At this moment, she was surprised to find that all the eye sockets of these skulls contained only one eye, looking extremely eerie!
"Master, these are all..."
The young girl shifted her gaze timidly to the man beside her.
At this moment, even Bai Feng swallowed nervously.
In the game, unlocking this scene happened after Bail Qingling had taken the poison pill and was on the brink of death, with the player as Xiao Chen coming to finish off the boss.
To pass censorship, many scene details were never shown in the game, making the horror level fairly mild.
Now, seeing it transformed from game to reality, Bai Feng truly grasped the perverse horror of Bail Qingling!
It was terrifyingly creepy.
His sanity level was bottoming out!
Noticing the girl's gaze, Bai Feng recalled the storyline and indifferently said:
"That's right."
"These are all Cyclops Witch Tribe people living in the South Border's vast mountains. When I was young and in trouble, fleeing for my life, their leader Tabatu Changyu lured me into the mountains, subjecting me to the most extreme torture in this world, making life worse than death."
"Tabatu Changyu's goal was to crush my soul, using the witch tribe's evil magic to extract my 'innate intangible demon seed' purely and immaculately for his own use."
"Unfortunately, on the last day, when Tabatu Changyu used the 'Spirit Shattering' torture on me, the demon blood in my body erupted, allowing me to break free from my chains, and with the aid of a molted golden cicada, escaped with my life."
"When my cultivation in demon technique was complete, the first thing I did was return to the vast mountains to repay the witch tribe for their kindness back then."
He spoke as if describing someone else's story.
The girl beside him listened with her hair standing on end.
The "Spirit Shattering" torture was renowned as the number one torture in the Cultivation Realms!
Even followers of the Demon Path, who killed as they pleased, were ashamed of using this method!
The principle involved using a Hundred Refining Spirit Hammer for precision blows to the victim's forehead, where the Spiritual Root resided in the pineal gland, until the Spiritual Root shattered, consciousness lost, the soul permanently torn apart, falling into the Hongmeng Broken Boundary, never to reincarnate.
"No wonder he later became so ruthless and unfeeling, brutal and unrestrained."
"It's said... that when he was young, his master who taught him took him in only to seize the demon seed within him...."
"Who wouldn't mentally collapse after experiencing such a cold and harsh fate?"
"How can the world expect him to repay its pain with a song?"
At this moment, Cen Xing'er looked at the tall and powerful demonic silhouette before her and surprisingly forgot that she came here to end him, and even...
She felt a bit pained!
Her eyes reddened.
If it were before,
She would want to boldly snuggle into his broad chest and hug this man who raised her tightly!
But now.
Her senior sisters already revealed everything to her, unveiling this man's true nature...
If she didn't kill him this time,
Many from her senior sisters, Youluo Palace sect members, and even the entire Cangming Sect and Yunzhou Continent could fall at his hands!
"Xing'er, let's go in."
"Inside, there's something I want to show you."
Noticing the girl's unusual emotions, Bai Feng didn't want complications, so he pushed open the bone door.
"Yes, Master."
Cen Xing'er clutched the pill bottle in her hand, following step by step behind.
She already made up her mind.
If this man truly discovered everything....
Then next, she would have to use force!
After all, Senior Brother Xiao Chen next door swore repeatedly that the current Qingling Demon Sovereign had lost all his power and was nothing but a paper tiger!
....
....
Entering through the bone door, they arrived in a grand arched hall built with Jadeite Lingyu stones.
Compared to the entrance of the basement earlier, this place surprisingly held an air of celestial charm, unlike a Demon Path cave.
"Do you know what this is?"
Bai Feng raised his head, looking at the blood-colored demon beads floating in the void on the dome of the hall, appearing like eyeballs.
"These are... Shadow-stealing Demon Beads!?"
The girl exclaimed in a lost voice.
She originally didn't know of this object.
Until she was thirteen, when she found an inconspicuous strange bead in the corner of her bedroom.
And at the moment she noticed, the blood-colored bead, like a living thing, fled swiftly from her sight.
Then, her second senior sister Dantai Lingyin came over and told her a terrifying secret.
