Chapter 2605 - 2606: Mechanical Hell
Chapter 2605: Chapter 2606: Mechanical Hell
"But do you know why I only showed up now? Because I had to wait for you to play all of your final cards! After all, I don’t believe a Sword Cultivator with such a solid reputation would surrender that easily. Sure enough, you really were hiding a backup move!"
As she spoke, a look of satisfaction surfaced on the woman’s face.
Fei Bai stared coldly at her. "You really are cautious enough, huh."
"Hahaha, thanks for the compliment! Can’t be helped—someone like me, if I’m not careful, I would’ve died eight hundred times already."
The woman threw Fei Bai a flirtatious wink. "So, are you ready to talk now?"
Fei Bai let out a cold laugh. "I honestly have no idea what it is you want to know."
"Tsk tsk, you’re still not willing to give anything up at this stage? Fine, let me give you a hint. How exactly did you get that video? And who else has seen it?" the woman questioned.
"What video? I don’t know what you’re talking about!" Fei Bai replied without the slightest hesitation.
The woman’s expression gradually darkened. "Looks like you really won’t cry until you see the coffin. All right then, you won’t talk, is that it? Then take a look at this!"
As she spoke, the woman flicked her sleeve, and two ultra-micro drones flew out, projecting a light screen in midair.
On the light screen, the images of Huyue and Si Qingqing appeared in stark clarity.
Fei Bai’s pupils constricted in an instant.
At this moment, the woman spoke with a cold sneer.
"You know this man too, don’t you? One of the leading figures of the younger generation of the Qingqiu Fox Clan from Hongyu Shanzhuang. I really can’t figure it out—how did your little sister get entangled with someone like him? Or is it that... all of this was arranged by you on purpose?"
By the time she finished, her eyes were filled with barely suppressed killing intent.
She couldn’t help thinking this way.
After all, Huyue’s appearance was far too coincidental, and he was even together with Si Qingqing. Who would believe there wasn’t anything fishy going on?
Precisely because of this, she was seething with anger. Driven by greed for merit, she had long since regarded Fei Bai as her exclusive property.
Anyone who tried to touch this secret would become her mortal enemy.
Fei Bai naturally saw the rage in her eyes. His heart stirred, and he couldn’t help but sneer.
"And what if it was? I had to leave my little sister at least one backup plan, didn’t I?"
"So it really is like that!" the woman hissed through gritted teeth. Then with another wave of her hand, the light screen shifted, showing the scene of Xue An, Huyue, and Si Qingqing just as they stepped into the bar.
"Then who do you think this man is?"
When he saw Xue An’s face, the previously calm-as-still-water Fei Bai suddenly changed expression drastically; his pupils shrank to pinpoints.
Watching his reaction, the woman let out a string of cold laughs.
"Shocking, isn’t it? To be honest, I was startled too when I first saw this footage, because this man is identical to the one in that video you’re carrying!"
"So what exactly is the unspeakable secret hidden in all of this? Tell me now, and I can let bygones be bygones—might even let you walk out of here."
Although Fei Bai was inwardly shaken to the core, he quickly calmed down. He didn’t believe a word of this woman’s nonsense, so he simply sneered.
"You think I’d talk?"
The woman flew into a rage.
"Fine! So you’re counting on these people showing up to give you a chance to escape, is that it?"
"Let me be blunt: stop daydreaming. From the very moment they brought your sister into this bar, I already had my eye on them! Look at this!"
The light screen shifted again, revealing a gargantuan Mechanical Labyrinth.
The labyrinth was forged entirely from some unknown metal. Powerful Arrays were etched into its walls and floor; even through the screen, one could feel its vast complexity and indestructible solidity.
And in one corner of the labyrinth were Huyue and Si Qingqing.
They were trapped in that corner, running back and forth through the winding, twisting corridors to no avail.
A self-satisfied grin appeared on the woman’s face. "See this? This is the Mechanical Labyrinth I spent years painstakingly building. That Huyue might be a standout among the Qingqiu Fox Clan, but once he’s inside here, he’s nothing more than a trapped beast!"
"As for the whereabouts of that other man, I haven’t located him yet, but don’t worry. Inside this bar, I am an all-powerful god. As long as he’s still in here, he’s never getting out of my grasp!"
"So now you’re down to one choice: cooperate with me, and explain clearly where that video came from!"
As her voice fell, the light screen changed again, and a slightly blurry video began to play.
The first thing to appear in the video was a massive battlefield.
This battlefield hung in the void, littered with countless corpses.
At the center of the field, a brutal battle was still underway.
On one side were the "Divine Clan," their bodies covered in tentacles and slime; on the other were the Human Clan and a coalition of various races.
These coalition fighters were all powerful cultivators. Though each of them was wounded, they still charged forward without hesitation, locked in fierce combat with the Divine Clan.
But the most eye-catching figure was the white-robed youth at the very core of the battle.
He was practically bearing all the pressure alone, facing those powerful Divine Clan head-on.
Every move he unleashed carried world-annihilating might, enough to make one’s heart tremble.
Hidden in the void, Xue An was also taken aback when he saw this video.
He immediately recognized that this footage recorded the scene back when he led the Fox Clan, Dragon Clan, and other allied races to intercept the invading abominations.
But in this altered world, hadn’t every trace of my existence already been erased?
Then how does this video exist?
Doubts surged wildly in Xue An’s heart.
At the same time, the woman screamed hysterically at Fei Bai, "Tell me right now—where did you get this video? Who is that man?"
Fei Bai straightened his back, his face solemn as he shook his head. "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
The woman snapped, then started laughing coldly.
"Good. Very good. So you really are as tough as they say. But today, even if you were made of steel, I’d grind you into dust!"
As she spoke, her eyes turned bloodshot. She stomped her foot, and the detention cell beneath her began to rumble and shift shape.
It turned out that the entire Drunken Dance Bar was a gigantic mechanical construct, and this woman held the highest level of authority over it.
"Welcome to the real hell. I hope you can stay this clear-headed for what comes next."
The woman spoke coldly, while countless torture devices—some without even a name—began to appear one after another, sending chills down the spine.
