Chapter 2608: Chapter 2609: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey
In fact, Fei Bai had this doubt long ago, even tracing back to the first time he saw that video.
At that time, Fei Bai felt that the teenager in the video was extremely familiar, but for the life of him couldn’t remember where he had seen him.
Yet this feeling was so strong that it became one of the important reasons why Fei Bai left Fire Phoenix, to independently explore the secret behind the video.
And upon seeing Xue An in person later, Fei Bai felt an irrepressible sense of inexplicable familiarity and respect.
As if the other person was a mentor or elder he’d been separated from for many years.
That’s why he asked this question.
Xue An smiled slightly, "Familiar? That’s right, because once upon a time, it was I who personally led you out of the Kunlun Secret Realm."
After saying this, Xue An turned away, leaving Fei Bai standing in bewilderment.
What did this mean?
He clearly remembered walking out of the Kunlun Secret Realm on his own, so how did he end up being led out according to this person?
And how did he know that Fei Bai came from the Kunlun Secret Realm?
Fei Bai felt as though things were becoming increasingly complex.
"Brother, what are you thinking? Let’s go!" Si Qingqing said.
Only then did Fei Bai snap out of it and shake his head, temporarily putting these doubts aside, and followed behind Xue An and Huyue, leaving the prison area.
At this moment, the second floor had become empty; when Xue An exterminated Grace earlier, he took the opportunity to eliminate all the guards on the second floor as well.
This wasn’t an act of cruelty on his part, rather they were getting what they deserved.
As for those who were imprisoned, those who survived had their souls shattered, living only in breathing, no different from the dead.
The root cause was the inhumane punishments inflicted upon them by the guards, which ultimately led to the disintegration of their souls.
Thus Xue An simply gave them liberation.
Soon, their group turned the corner, arriving at the platform situated at the stairway.
From here, everything on the first floor was fully visible.
The deafening music still hadn’t stopped, and the people in the dance floor were moving their bodies in a frenzied manner.
Everything that happened on the second floor had seemingly no impact on the first-floor hall.
Even due to Black Snake’s prior orders, the excitement in the air far exceeded the usual standard, causing everyone on the first floor to become hysterically manic.
Confronted with this chaotic scene, Huyue frowned slightly.
"Gone mad, completely mad. If this continues, these people will be crippled if not dead. What should Old Xue do?"
With Huyue’s power, it would be easy to suppress these people and forcibly awaken them.
But Drunken Dance Bar’s sinister nature lies in the specially made stimulants they’ve released.
Without the corresponding antidote, forcibly awakening them would only damage their minds.
Those with cultivation levels might be okay, but ordinary people could become mentally disabled.
Though the people here likely aren’t saints, they don’t deserve to die.
Therefore, Huyue felt a bit troubled.
However, Xue An seemed prepared for this, and with a faint smile, asked, "What do you think is the best way to awaken someone trapped in insanity?"
"What?"
"That’s to give them even greater stimulation, after all... fight poison with poison!"
Fight poison with poison indeed!
Huyue wanted to rebuke.
But at that moment, Xue An waved his hand, and a sword light spun through the air like a ribbon.
Bang, bang, bang!
Those blinding spotlights shattered on cue, along with the sound systems.
In an instant, the sound ceased and the lights died.
The entire venue plunged into dead silence.
All the people who were deeply absorbed in ecstatic frenzy froze, looking confusedly around, completely oblivious to what had happened.
Suddenly.
A light appeared above everyone’s heads, and then a glass coffin appeared before them.
The coffin was illuminated with lights, revealing vividly inside a lifelike human specimen.
But it was this human specimen that horrified everyone infinitely.
First, because the specimen, apart from its head, had all its flesh missing, leaving an intact network of blood vessels and nerves.
It resembled a perfectly executed surgery by a master surgeon, admirable yet chilling.
But the key was not this, it was the face of the human specimen.
When everyone saw clearly, they let out a simultaneous gasp.
"It’s Purple Scorpion!"
"My God, Lord Purple Scorpion has been made into a specimen!"
"Who did this?"
Exclamations erupted one after another. Many were shocked sober immediately.
The reason was simple.
The imposing reputation of Purple Scorpion alone was overwhelming, engendering respect and fear amidst guards and guests alike in the first-floor hall.
Simultaneously, it was common knowledge that Purple Scorpion’s favorite pastime was creating and collecting human specimens.
This perverted and cruel hobby made many shudder at the thought.
Who would’ve thought that right now, the one who loved making people into specimens, Purple Scorpion, had become a specimen himself.
How could it not terrify the people?
But this was merely the beginning.
Another light beam lit up, revealing the corpse of Black Snake whose head had been severed.
Despite being decapitated, his body floated in mid-air, his round head grimacing at the crowd, seeming to relive his unwillingness before dying.
This sent the venue into further uproar.
"What! Even Lord Black Snake is dead?"
"Oh my God, Drunken Dance Bar is about to change drastically!"
Amidst the shouts, some with cowardly hearts retracted not only their drunkenness but discreetly began to move towards the exit, attempting to flee this treacherous place.
Their attempts halted when the third light beam appeared.
Under the light was Grace, her neck twisted at an eerie angle.
Three beams, three corpses!
Without exception, all were key figures of Drunken Dance Bar.
Even though Grace stayed hidden most of the time, many hadn’t seen her before, but many recognized her the instant they did.
They knew she was not only the behind-the-scenes owner of Drunken Dance Bar but also a member of the Carter Family.
This realization left only one notion in their hearts.
That the sky had fallen!
The Carter Family would absolutely not let Drunken Dance Bar go.
Even those present might be implicated.
Just as panic started to spread, Xue An calmly said, "Not leaving? Planning on accompanying these three in death?"
With those words, the first-floor hall erupted completely.
