The Beast Clan of Luoxi Town were mostly members of the Eagle Clan. Decades ago, they had been nearly wiped out by a group from the Fox Clan.
Thus, what should have been a peaceful river festival had devolved into a siege against a fox.
Bai Chaosi was jolted awake by a searing, stinging pain.
His ears were filled with a clamorous uproar:
"Chief, why don’t we just drive a spear through his heart? That’ll make sure he’s dead for good!"
"No, letting him die like that would be too easy on him. We should torture him slowly."
"That’s right! Why don’t we destroy his spiritual power first, then break his arms and legs?"
"Great idea! Chief, torture him just like that!"
As Bai Chaosi’s eyelids slowly fluttered open, he found himself tied to a barren tree.
Hearing those words, his consciousness returned bit by bit.
Pain.
So much pain.
"Where is this?"
He asked this instinctively before he could even get a clear look at his surroundings.
Muto and the other Beastman of Luoxi Town, who stood before him, grew agitated at the sound of his voice.
"Chief, he’s awake!"
"Chief, do it now!"
"Destroy his spiritual power! Otherwise, he’ll definitely never let us go once he recovers!"
Muto clutched a long whip in his hand. He looked at the fox tied to the tree, its fur stained red with blood, his eyes filled with mockery.
"What’s the panic? He’s grievously injured and can’t even shift into his human form. He’s not far from death. You think he can threaten us?"
As he spoke, Muto brutally swung the whip in his hand.
CRACK!
It struck Bai Chaosi’s body.
Because it was infused with spiritual power, the lash tore away a piece of Bai Chaosi’s flesh.
Blood dripped down from the ghastly, deep gash, a shocking sight to behold.
Just looking at it was enough to make one ache in sympathy.
Bai Chaosi shuddered violently, his limbs trembling uncontrollably.
Muto saw this and a vicious look crossed his face.
’He can still move. Looks like it’s not painful enough!’
With that, he whipped him again, his hand never stopping.
After a few more lashes, there wasn’t a single patch of undamaged fur left on Bai Chaosi’s body.
Blood dripped endlessly from the corner of his mouth.
The man who was once as immaculate as an Immortal now seemed to have been dragged from the heavens and thrown into the filth.
Gone was his former aloofness and nobility.
Who, upon seeing him now, would recognize him as the most esteemed Young Master Chaoxi of the Snow Ridge Nine-tailed Fox Clan, the one known for his fastidiousness?
The legendary genius Young Master of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan?
Yet, all the Beastman of Luoxi Town still seemed unsatisfied.
"Chief, how is just whipping him enough?"
"Right! Everyone knows the Fox Clan are High level Beastman. They’re born a cut above us, with extraordinary spiritual power. A little pain like this is just a scratch to them."
"Exactly! We have to make him pay dearly to return the suffering the Fox Clan inflicted on our Wangxi Town a hundred times over!"
Bai Chaosi listened to their hate-filled words. Though his head was still heavy and muddled, he instinctively managed to ask:
"Who... are you? Why... are you doing this to me?"
His voice, so faint it was barely audible, revealed his current weakness.
