"Tell me, where are the two of them now?"
Elder Zheng's face was gloomy as he stared coldly at Hu Qingsong. He sounded like he was interrogating a criminal.
"I don't know."
Hu Qingsong shook his head. "I just met them by chance. They are not my friends. I really don't know where they are."
"Is that so?"
Elder Zheng's face turned cold. His True Inner Force surged from his palm and condensed into a long, transparent whip. The next second, he lashed out at Hu Qingsong with the whip.
SMACK!
The whip condensed from True Elemental Force lashed on Hu Qingsong's body, bursting out with a horrifying sound. Hu Qingsong's chest was lacerated, the whip mark looked as if it had been cut by a knife. His flesh was badly mutilated, and a sharp pain surged up. Hu Qingsong could not help but let out a painful howl.
"Mentor Hu!"
Luo Jinshi felt as if a knife was twisting his heart as he watched his mentor being tortured helplessly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Hu Qingsong smiled at him.
Elder Zheng's face was as cold as ice. He asked again, "Where are they?"
His tone became more serious.
Hu Qingsong looked at him expressionlessly and shook his head again. "I don't know. I told you that they are …"
SMACK!
Before Hu Qingsong could finish his sentence, Elder Zheng lashed out with the whip again. The sound of it hitting Hu Qingsong's body was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
"Ah!"
Hu Qingsong screamed in pain. There was a shocking wound on his body. It was so deep that his bones were visible.
Elder Zheng's eyes were so cold that he looked like he was going to kill someone. "I'll ask you one last time. Where are the two of them?"
"I … I don't know …" Hu Qingsong said with difficulty.
Elder Zheng narrowed his eyes. He was furious. "Good, good, very good!"
He said 'good' three times in a row, and his tone was heavier than the previous one. Then, the whip in his hand, which was condensed from True Inner Force, lashed at Hu Qingsong's body one after another. One after another, ghastly wounds appeared on Hu Qingsong's body. After a few lashes, Hu Qingsong was covered in blood. It was a frightening sight.
GASP!
The students of the Mu City Academy could not help but gasp. Hu Qingsong was in such a miserable state.
"Elder Zheng is really ruthless. Is he going to beat Hu Qingsong to death?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. Be careful not to cause trouble."
"What do you know? Elder Zheng is a strong person. If he doesn't do anything when his family members are injured, he is a coward."
"That's right.................... and Hu Qingsong..............
.... "....
Most of the students supported Elder Zheng. In the academy, Elder Zheng was very influential.
The mentors stood in the outer circle and watched Hu Qingsong, who was also a mentor, being treated in such a manner by Elder Zheng. Although they also looked down on Hu Qingsong, who was only a Martial Spirit, they felt very uncomfortable.
. stop............
. "Luo Jinshi screamed at Elder Zheng. But it was no use. Elder Zheng ignored him and continued to lash out at Hu Qingsong.
Hu Qingsong was Luo Jinshi's mentor. He had taught Luo Jinshi how to cultivate. Now, his mentor was being tortured. Hu Qingsong was not the one being lashed, but Luo Jinshi himself.
"Stop. I will tell you where they are. Stop hitting Mentor Hu. I beg you. I beg you …" Luo Jinshi was on the verge of breaking down. Tears and snot flowed down his face. He cried and begged loudly.
Hearing this, Elder Zheng stopped whipping Luo Jinshi. He looked coldly at Luo Jinshi and shouted emotionlessly, "Speak!!!"
"They are … They are …"
"Don't say it!"
Hu Qingsong, who was covered in blood, roared and interrupted Luo Jinshi. His eyes were like a bloodthirsty beast. "If you dare to tell me where they are, I will cut off all ties with you!"
"I …"
Luo Jinshi was in a dilemma. Of course, he knew that Hu Qingsong was a man of his word. If he really told him where Xiao Luo and Ghost were, he would never be forgiven by Hu Qingsong.
"Stubborn!"
Elder Zheng snorted and lashed out at Hu Qingsong again with the whip in his hand.
SMACK!
This time, the whip landed on Hu Qingsong's face. A horrifying wound appeared on the left side of his face. Blood flowed out from his mouth and nose.
"Haha … Hahahahaha …"
Hu Qingsong suddenly laughed hysterically. There was no longer fear in his eyes. Instead, he was fearless. He stared straight at Elder Zheng.
What was going on?
Could it be that Hu Qingsong had lost his mind?
The surrounding students could not help but wonder.
Hu Qingsong said to Elder Zheng in a provocative tone, "Zheng Haishi, go on. Go on. Go on. Spread the word in the academy and even the entire Mu City. Yes, you can do whatever you want. But so what? Others may be afraid of you, but I, Hu Qingsong, am not. In my eyes, I am not afraid of you.
You are an old b * stard who has no regard for human life. You are the one who has led the students to bully others. It is you who has turned the Mu City Academy into an evil force in the eyes of the people. You are a sinner of the Mu City. You deserve to be struck by lightning! "
His two rows of teeth were stained with blood. Coupled with his maniacal smile, he looked as ferocious as a demon. It was as if Hu Qingsong had changed into another person.
"Crazy, crazy, this Hu Qingsong is really crazy!"
"Is he deliberately provoking Elder Zheng so that he can divert Elder Zheng's anger to himself and let go of the couple who injured Zheng Feihan and Chen Junbin?"
"Initially, Elder Zheng would let him go if he told him the whereabouts of the two people. But now, I feel that he is in danger. Elder Zheng is known for his ruthlessness."
The surrounding students whispered to each other and started discussing in low voices.
The muscles at the corner of Elder Zheng's mouth twitched. He stared fiercely at Hu Qingsong.
Hu Qingsong ignored him and said to the thousands of students around him, "Students of the Mu City Academy, all of you have gone through many rounds of screening before you were admitted to our academy. Before that, you were the children of the people of the Mu City. Were you not full of ambition to contribute to the Mu City and to the people's welfare?
Many of you have sworn an oath with the dean at the square. You have sworn to protect people's lives and property from being violated. But look at the current situation. Look at the atmosphere in our academy. When we walk on the streets, all the people avoid us as if we are the plague. Their eyes are filled with fear, as if they are looking at robbers. Perhaps in their eyes, the people of the Mu City Academy are no different from robbers.
