Xi Jianwei's wails were now even more harrowing than when he had been whipped. While this was partly due to the viciousness of Lin Lanxin's Gu insects, it was also because he had already fallen into utter despair. The moment he saw Lin Lanxin use the Gu insects, Xi Jianwei understood that the ones tormenting Xiao Ruoli must have been planted by her as well!
The agony lasted for a full hour before it subsided. By then, Xi Jianwei had been tortured beyond recognition and lay on the ground, unable to move.
With no trace of pity in her eyes, Lin Lanxin sneered, "This Gu insect activates every three days, becoming more vicious each time. When you can no longer bear it, your organs will rupture, and you will die in agony!"
Huan Yuehua also laughed coldly. "You old fool, I'll have you thrown into the death cells now. You can reflect on your actions in there. I will release you only when you hand over the Wordless Jade Bi."
