My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 187 - 185: Pushing Too Far (Part 2)

```

From the mouths of Yin Yang Sect disciples, it was understood that... Su Xiaorou and the others were temporarily very safe, well-fed each day, and had not been mistreated; of course, this was only temporary. If Gao Fei continued to remain out of sight, Su Xiaorou and the others would certainly suffer.

"How can the Yin Yang Sect's formation be broken?" Gao Fei asked, "That stone platform, the one that releases Sword Qi, how can it be broken?"

"The stone platform?" The disciple paused, then said, "The stone platform is sealed within a Killing Formation. As soon as the Killing Formation is activated, the stone platform will release Sword Qi... The Sword Qi is very domineering, almost indestructible... Even cultivators at the Golden Core Stage would suffer great losses upon contact..."

"Is there a way to break it?" Gao Fei pressed.

"I do not know." The disciple shook his head, "I am just a low-level disciple, my knowledge is limited..."

"You dare to deceive me?"

"No, my little life is in your hands, how would I dare to deceive you? I do not want to die."

...

"I'll trust you this once!" Gao Fei grunted, "But you listen to me, if I find out you have deceived me... huh, I will make sure you die a miserable death."

"I dare not, I wouldn't dare to deceive you," the disciple hastily said.

Gao Fei stretched out his hand and stroked his smooth chin, mulling over secretly, "The stone platform is sealed within a Killing Formation, and as soon as the Killing Formation is activated, the stone platform will release Sword Qi... On the contrary, if the Killing Formation isn't activated, the stone platform won't release Sword Qi... Am I right?"

"Uhh... That should be correct..." the disciple hesitantly said.

"Now the question is... what must be done for the Killing Formation not to activate?" Gao Fei asked.

"...I do not know..." The disciple shook his head.

"Useless thing." Gao Fei cursed, "I lurked for several days just to capture you, and you answer my questions with ignorance. I really want to slap you to death." Saying this, Gao Fei raised his hand and gave the disciple a slap.

"Ouch." The disciple immediately clutched his forehead and cried out in pain.

"What are you crying out for!" Gao Fei glared, "Cry out again, and I'll cut off your tongue."

After being threatened by Gao Fei, the disciple immediately shut his mouth, not daring to make another sound.

"I ask you, who knows the secrets of the Killing Formation?" Gao Fei inquired.

"...Sect Leader Xiong knows..."

"Who else!"

"The elders should also know, I guess..."

"Elders?" Gao Fei rolled his eyes, "I have a task for you. If you complete it, I will let you go; otherwise, you can go serve the King of the Underworld."

"What task?" the disciple asked with a trembling voice.

Gao Fei lowered his head and muttered a few words into the disciple's ear.

"Ah?" The disciple's face changed dramatically, "You... you are asking for my life... If this comes to light, I am as good as dead..."

"Follow my orders, and you might have a chance to live; disobey me, and you'll die immediately. Choose for yourself," Gao Fei hummed.

The disciple hesitated, then sighed, "Heavens above, Earth below, what sins have I committed that you torture me so... You might as well strike me down with Divine Thunder..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Under Gao Fei's coercion, the disciple eventually agreed.

"Here, swallow this." Gao Fei fumbled about on his person for a moment, then produced a black medicinal pill.

"What is this thing?" A look of terror flashed in the disciple's eyes.

```

"Poisonous Pill," Gao Fei said, "It's made from an ancient secret recipe, extremely vicious in nature, but..." At this point, Gao Fei paused, "The pill is encapsulated in a protective film that will keep you alive for seven days. After seven days, the film will gradually dissolve, and the poison within will be released. Then, your internal organs will rot away, and you will die in agonizing pain."

The disciple shuddered, "I... I will do my best... Whether I live or die... will be up to fate now... I hope heaven looks after me this once..."

"Don't be scared," Gao Fei tapped the disciple's shoulder reassuringly, "As long as you do exactly as I have told you, nothing will go wrong, and I will give you the antidote after it's done."

"I understand," the disciple said dejectedly, filled with regret so intense that he felt it in his guts. How good it would have been to stay honestly in the sect? But he just had to go out to relax, and now he had ended up a prisoner. Whether he could preserve his life was a question indeed.

"Go on then, do well, and I won't leave you unrewarded," Gao Fei waved his hand, "Stay steady, don't give yourself away."

The disciple looked at Gao Fei, then strode away with brisk steps.

...

Three days later.

Gao Fei returned to Southern City and then went to a damp and dark underground chamber to meet with Feng Taiping, Liu Datong, and Lu Sanyang. Having not seen them for over half a month, the three of them looked much more haggard, with pale faces and feeble breaths, looking half dead.

"Fellas, I've come to see you," Gao Fei gestured with his hand, "How have you been lately?"

"Hmph!"

The three turned their heads away, completely ignoring Gao Fei.

"Oh, I see tempers have flared in the few days we've been apart," Gao Fei sneered, "Believe it or not, I could start loosening up your muscles right now. You'd experience what true pleasure within pain feels like."

Feng Taiping turned back, glaring at Gao Fei, "If you have the guts, then kill us!"

"Kill?" Gao Fei shook his head, "Don't be impatient, I will kill you, but not now..." he paused, "I came today to ask you something... Yin Yang Sect has a Killing Formation, you should know about it, right? There's a stone platform within the Formation that can unleash Sword Qi!"

"Huh?" Feng Taiping's face showed a trace of surprise, "How do you know about that?"

"You don't need to worry about how I know," Gao Fei pressed, "Just tell me, what do I need to do to suppress this Killing Formation?"

"Why should I tell you!" Feng Taiping huffed.

"This is why!" Gao Fei raised his hand and slapped Feng Taiping across the face.

"You dare to hit me..."

"Slap! That's for you!"

"You..."

"You what you!" Gao Fei lifted his hand and slapped Feng Taiping again, "If you don't want to be turned into a pig's head, better answer my question."

No answer, just slaps. Gao Fei wanted to see whether his hand was harder, or Feng Taiping's face was.

After a few dozen slaps... Feng Taiping caved in, answering the questions meekly, "Stop slapping... I'll tell you... everything."

"A toast to you for not drinking, a penalty for not! You're just a lowly creature!" Gao Fei sneered, "Talk fast!"

"To activate the Killing Formation... you need a Token," Feng Taiping said weakly.

"Token? What Token?"

"It's a Token specifically for activating the Killing Formation. Without the Token, the Formation cannot be activated."

"Token..." Gao Fei frowned, remembering vaguely... Sect Leader Xiong had a Token in his possession. Whenever he waved the Token, the stone platform hidden within the Killing Formation would release Sword Qi...

If that Token was destroyed, the Killing Formation couldn't be initiated.
