With a thought, Chu Xingyun's powerful spiritual energy spread out in all directions. In an instant, his spiritual energy covered the entire mountain crevice.
Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched as he sensed Liu Mengyan's aura.
"There's someone!" Chu Xingyun's heart trembled. Aside from Liu Mengyan, there were more than ten other auras in the mountain crevice. There were quite a number of people.
"The middle of the month has just passed and your two clans suddenly came here to whip me. You've got some guts!" Liu Mengyan's words were cold, but there was a trace of weakness in her voice. She stared coldly at the ten people standing in front of her. Her fluttering white clothes were stained with fresh blood.
The leader of the ten people was a middle-aged man in purple. He had small eyes and a sharp face. His eyes flickered with a sinister light. He sneered at Liu Mengyan and said with disdain, "You've been a prisoner for eighteen years and you still dare to spout such arrogant words. How stubborn!"
This person was called Mo Chen. He was a spiritual array master of the Mo Clan. His cultivation had reached the eighth level of the Sky Spirit Realm.
"According to the rules, you'll be whipped a hundred times at the beginning of every month as punishment for your foolish actions back then. But from this month onwards, the whipping will no longer be once a month, but three times a month." Mo Chen raised his head and said with some pride, "And in addition to the whipping, there will also be fire and lightning."
Hearing Mo Chen's words, Liu Mengyan's body trembled and her face turned pale.
Ever since she had been imprisoned in Meteorite Abyss, she had been whipped at the beginning of every month.
Although a hundred lashes wouldn't threaten her life, it was still unbearable for ordinary people. But from this month onwards, she would have to suffer three whippings a month. In addition to the whipping, there was also fire and lightning.
Such a cruel action was no longer a punishment, but a death sentence!
"Is this Gu Fanxing's order?" Liu Mengyan glanced behind her. Seeing that there was no movement in the mountain crevice, she let out a sigh of relief and looked forward again.
"As expected of the former number one genius. You're really smart." Mo Chen sneered. He took a step forward and released spiritual energy from his hand. It was like a fire snake sweeping through the air, raising the temperature of the entire space. The air was incomparably hot.
In just an instant, Liu Mengyan felt a stabbing pain on her skin. The wound that had just been torn open by the whip once more began to spurt out hot blood.
"After twenty years, his killing intent is still as strong as ever." Liu Mengyan's body was enduring intense pain, but the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile. She took light steps forward, and the pitch-black stone lock emitted a tinkling sound, which was especially crisp in the quiet space.
"Twenty years ago, you betrayed the Sect Leader's infatuation and fled to Wanjian Pavilion. After that, you killed Fan Wujie's son, fooled around with a piece of trash, and even gave birth to a bastard. You brought shame to the Ancient Star Sect. Why can't the Sect Leader kill you for such actions?"
Mo Chen moved forward again. Rolling flames spread in the air, turning into flaming snakes one after another. "If it weren't for Fan Wujie's anger, you would have died eighteen years ago. Now, eighteen years have passed. Although Fan Wujie still remembers this, he won't be so aggressive. You, on the other hand, still haven't solved the mystery of the falling stars. It's time for your evil life to end."
"He wants me dead too?" Liu Mengyan's expression changed and she suddenly asked.
"Elder Wentian doesn't know about this. But even if he did, he wouldn't stop you." Mo Chen's expression was cold, but his words made the smile on Liu Mengyan's face grow wider. She looked at the sky, seemingly ignoring Mo Chen and the others.
Behind Mo Chen, a thin, middle-aged man in grey clothes walked out and shouted at Liu Mengyan, "You're a criminal, yet you dare to ignore us? It seems that the whipping just now didn't make you suffer!"
This person also came from the Five Great Families, but he wasn't from the Mo Family, but the Duan Family.
The Five Great Families of the Ancient Star Sect were the Liu Family, the Mo Family, the Duan Family, the Ou Family, and the Teng Family.
The first three families were in charge of the entire Meteorite Abyss. All the spiritual formations in the Meteorite Abyss were set up by them. In other words, any action to punish Liu Mengyan would be carried out by these three families.
Just as Mo Chen said, 20 years ago, Liu Mengyan rejected Gu Fanxing's infatuation and fled to the Wanjian Pavilion. She even married Chu Xingyun and gave birth to Chu Xingyun. This was a heavy blow to the proud Gu Fanxing. As long as Liu Mengyan was alive, he would feel ashamed and resentful.
However, due to the secret of the falling stars, Gu Fanxing couldn't do it. He could only secretly torture Liu Mengyan and use her pain to vent the hatred in his heart. Now that the Six Sect Grand Competition was around the corner and Liu Wentian was in seclusion, Gu Fanxing wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
Liu Guqiong knew this very well, which was why he dared to secretly change the formation core in an attempt to torture and kill Liu Mengyan.
As for the Duan and Mo families, they were trying to curry favor with Gu Fanxing.
After all, the five families of the Ancient Star Sect were also scheming against each other. Everyone wanted to get closer to the sect to obtain a higher status and more resources.
Starting with Liu Mengyan, the sinner, was undoubtedly the fastest way to gain Gu Fanxing's approval.
"The Aura of Calamity is corroding your internal organs. With the three punishments on your body, I'm afraid that you will be tortured to death before the Six Sect Grand Tournament ends. However, this is also a form of relief for you." Mo Chen smiled coldly. Liu Mengyan only felt her Spiritual Sea tremble, and her entire body was in incomparable pain.
However, she didn't make a sound and endured the pain.
Liu Mengyan knew that Chu Xingyun was still under the mountain.
At this time, if she cried out in pain, she might attract Chu Xingyun's attention.
The dozen people in front of her were all Spirit Array Masters from the Duan and Mo families. Their overall strength was tyrannical, and Mo Chen had reached the eighth level of the Sky Spirit Realm. If Chu Xingyun appeared, he would definitely be surrounded.
Not to mention whether Chu Xingyun could kill his way out of the encirclement, his identity would definitely be exposed if news of this got out.
In this way, all of Chu Xingyun's plans would be for naught!
"I can't let Yun 'er know." Liu Mengyan looked in the direction of the mountain crack again. Her eyes were filled with worry. She gritted her teeth and tried her best not to make a sound. As long as she could survive the fire and thunder punishment, these people would leave. She had to hold on no matter what.
"I'd like to see how long you can endure!" Mo Chen's arrogant voice entered Chu Xingyun's ears. "Today, I'll seriously torture you. The more miserable your end is, the happier the sect master will be, and the greater the reward I'll receive!"
Boom!
A cold chill bloomed from Chu Xingyun's body. In just a few words, he understood everything. It turned out that other than the Liu Family, the Duan and Mo Families also wanted to kill Liu Mengyan. They even wanted to torture Liu Mengyan to win Gu Fanxing's favor. How vicious.
"I'm afraid you'll never get the reward you want."
A sinister voice descended from the sky and directly entered the ears of the crowd. Mo Chen and the others raised their heads and their expressions froze.
There, a figure descended like the wind. His body was filled with a terrifying aura of calamity. A wave of anger spread from Chu Xingyun and filled the entire space.
It was obvious that Chu Xingyun was furious.
His pitch-black eyes glanced at Mo Chen. Suddenly, Mo Chen felt a chill run down his spine. An invisible wave of killing intent directly entered his body, causing him to tremble. His heart was filled with shock. Who was this person? Why was he hiding in the mountain? Also, his eyes were terrifying. One glance was enough to make one's heart tremble.
Whoosh!
Chu Xingyun landed beside Liu Mengyan and withdrew his killing intent. Looking at Liu Mengyan's pale face, his heart was filled with guilt. He said, "Mother, I've wronged you."
"It's just a small matter." Liu Mengyan smiled as she shook her head, and then she turned to the side and said in a low voice, "Take advantage of the fact that they haven't recognized your identity and leave this place immediately. You absolutely can't reveal your identity before the Six Sect Grand Competition ends.
"Mother, you're suffering. How can I just leave?" Chu Xingyun stood in front of Liu Mengyan and straightened his chest. He looked at Mo Chen and the others. A cold light shot out from his eyes. Dense killing intent enveloped the entire space.
"Your worthless lives will all end here today." Chu Xingyun's voice faded away. His killing intent bloomed and instantly enveloped Mo Chen's body.
Puff!
The crowd only heard a muffled sound.
