I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

The sun was shrouded in thick fog, with only a few rays of light penetrating through and shining on the ground.

But those lights did not have any warmth, instead there was a gray and dead feeling.

A dark red glow in the sky was compressed by heavy dark clouds until only a few fragments remained, like intermittent drops of blood falling on the gray earth.

Zhentian Tower.

The head of the Yan family was kneeling on the ground, with a circle of people standing behind him, and in front of them, a man in a black robe was sitting upright.

He had a thin face and pale skin, but when he raised his head, the gloom in his eyes was like a bat in the deepest dark night, with a pair of blood-red eyes staring at the head of the Yan family.

The head of the Yan family was like an ant, being oppressed to the ground by his inexplicable pressure, not even daring to raise his head.

"Waste, what's the point of me keeping you around?!"

With the word "waste", the man exerted force with his feet, and the whole space seemed to be caught in an infinite gravitational attraction, which immediately suppressed everyone in the room and made them speechless. Their originally straight necks and backs were deeply compressed, like rice seedlings being bent.

All entrances and exits on all sides were blocked in an instant, and translucent water snakes came from all directions, slowly gathering strength and moving towards their center.

The snake hissed as it spit out blood, and its cold, thin pupils were fixed on the head of the Yan family who was kneeling in front of it.

If others saw this scene, they would probably be shocked.

After all, the head of the Yan family is the one in charge of Hongmeng Pavilion, and no one dares to resist him on normal days.

But at this moment, he was oppressed by the powerful force and couldn't breathe. He could only kneel down in a miserable state.

"puff--"

The head of the Yan family finally couldn't hold it in any longer and spat out a large mouthful of blood. He supported himself on the ground with one hand and managed to stabilize his body.

“Lord, I…”

"You what? Are you going to say you tried your best?"

The man questioned aloud and tapped the armrest of the chair twice with his fingers. With a slight clicking sound, the water snake swam faster and faster, and a nameless fire suddenly ignited on its body.

They hissed and spit out snake-like particles, and the moment they approached the head of the Yan family, they opened their big mouths and bit him fiercely!

The head of the Yan family felt a piercing pain. He clenched his knuckles and gripped his thigh muscles tightly, enduring the pain.

The raging flames instantly ignited his clothes. Not only did the water snakes not let go, their tails slowly coiled around his body and then gradually tightened!

Soon, purple marks appeared on his skin, and countless needle-like holes were clearly visible on those marks.

Dense black blood oozed out of the small hole.

In an instant, the face of the head of the Yan family turned pale and his lips turned black and blue.

The body that was originally kneeling upright suddenly went limp and collapsed straight to the ground, with only the eyeballs still able to move.

The rest of the body became numb and completely unable to move.

The noisy hissing sound kept ringing in his ears, and a water snake slowly swam in front of him, opened its mouth wide and showed its fangs, and was about to swallow his eyeballs in one gulp!

At this moment, the person above suddenly tapped the handrail twice with his knuckles.

The water snake with blazing ambition in its eyes suddenly seemed to have lost its life and fell down.

The blazing flames were like a devil with its fangs and claws bared, torturing the head of the Yan family but not letting him die.

The water snakes formed a circle around themselves, isolating the rest of the people.

Everyone took a step back, and no one dared to plead for Patriarch Yan.

Only after seeing that his last bit of life was almost burned out did the person above pull the trigger again.

All the water snakes around retreated, and streams of water surged out from the corners, instantly extinguishing all the fires on the ground and turning them into steaming water vapor.

When the water vapor disappeared, all that was left was the head of the Yan family lying in the center of the encirclement, with his body covered with small wounds.

The purple and blue snake marks were shocking.

His vision was blurry, and he still forced himself to slowly crawl up from the ground, then kneeled down in agony towards the person sitting in the upper seat.

"Thank God for sparing my life."

The man snorted coldly: "Useless thing, you have lost a lot of my power. This is the punishment you deserve."

The head of the Yan family could not say anything to defend himself, so he could only kneel in the same position for a long time.

The man in black robe raised his cold eyes slightly and looked at the people behind him.

"If you still can't defend Zhentian Tower and Fengxue Gate, you should know what your fate will be."

The group of people felt ashamed and were so respectful and upright that they didn't even dare to wipe the sweat off their faces. They could only bend down and nod in agreement.

The man in black robe knocked on the mechanism on the armrest again, and an empty room appeared behind him, enveloping him. After the man left completely, the originally blocked world was slowly unlocked.

Upon seeing this, the other elders who were still alive in Hongmeng Pavilion hurried forward to help Patriarch Yan up from the ground.

"Master, are you okay?"

The head of the Yan family waved his hands, as if his soul had been driven away by the torture just now, and his eyes were blurred and he couldn't find the direction.

"Master, we will take you back to rest."

The two elders helped him up and limped out of the dark room with him.

The remaining people were from Zhentian Tower and Fengxue Sect.

Everyone looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. They had never expected that even the head of the Yan family had fallen to the point where he had to rely on them. How powerful was Mingchuan?

For a moment, a gleam of light appeared in the eyes of the two old men from Fengxue Gate and Zhentian Tower.

"Instead of just sitting there and waiting for Mingchuan to come to us, why not take action ourselves this time and test the guy's strength."

As soon as these words were spoken, someone nearby immediately became unhappy.

"To test his strength?"

"Heh! Haven't you noticed the commotion that Mingchuan caused in our sect earlier? Do we need to investigate further?"

"I heard that the three elders who came out of retreat in Hongmeng Pavilion had already severely injured Mingchuan. If we join forces now, we might be able to eliminate him."

"Forget it, huh? That brat is incredibly cunning. If we go and deal with him but fail, and end up suffering the consequences ourselves, we'll probably anger the Lord, and then none of us will be able to escape."
