The Legend of Min Hong

'I really need to be careful around her, whenever she's asleep…'

He cringed at the thought of what might have happened if he was just about 5 seconds too late in swapping his schlong for his fruit…

He then went into the bathroom, locked the door behind him, erected a defensive barrier, before waving his sleeves to reveal two shadows that were writhing and twitching in pain with agonizing screams; as he asked;

"Alright, I only need one of you to actually tell me all I need to know…"

"So, which one of you is ready to talk?" He asked leisurely…

"I will go first young master… I will tell you everything you need to know…" The Second shadow blurted in terror;

"Tch… You bastard!"

"You dare speak before me, and on top of that to steal my line!?"

"Are you looking to die!?" The First Shadow [Cheng] blurted in fury and pain as he looked to Min Hong and then pleaded;

"Young master, he knows nothing… I am way older than he is and I have more information that what he can provide…" Min Hong then placed his index finger beneath his chin as he pretended to be contemplating the situation;

"No, young master… There's nothing he knows that I don't know… Everything he's about to tell you are general knowledge…"

"If you want to know who sent us, I will gladly tell you… Just please, take me out of here- Argh haa haa!"

The Second Shadow blurted, pleaded and wailed painfully as the Chaos Qi within the pocket of space wreaked havoc on its entire being;

"Alright… You it is…" Min Hong said pointing to the Second Shadow who instantly almost jumped for joy until Min Hong raised his finger to halt it;

"But I can't let both of you go… So, I will ask both of you the same question at different turns…"

"You both would get a chance to give me new information about that same question, and whoever gives more information to me would get to leave, whilst the other would stay here till I die, and eventually be released into the void where they would drift endlessly…"

"Lost and never to be found…" Min Hong threatened as he saw them simultaneously cringe when he mentioned the word Void…

"Alright let's go…"

Min Hong grabbed the second shadow and placed stretched his hands at the shadow as several spike and braces made out of Chaos Qi abruptly appeared out of thin air…

Min Hong then pushed his palm towards the shadow as those spikes darted towards it, stabbing it  on the wall as Min Hong then clenched his palm before the metal braces then clamped the shadow to the wall, securing it in place and cutting out all its hopes of escape;

"Alright, talk to me… Who sent you?"

"We were sent by the Yao commander…" The Shadow blurted with abandon stunning Min Hong who chuckled internally at the sight;

'I guess I should use torture more often…' He thought to himself as he continued;

"Who is the commander and where is he?"

"The commander is currently possessing the Left Grand Elder of this tribe we are in?"

"Eh?" Min Hong was stunned as he thought the shadow was referring to their own commander and not the Yao commander currently possessing the Left Grand Elder, but he asked anyways just to be clear and sure;

"Do you mean the current Left Grand Elder of this tribe is possessed by the a commander from your race?"

"No… I mean he is currently being possessed by a Yao Demon with the power level of a commander…"

"So what's the difference between a Yao Demon and a Demon of Yao?"

Min Hong wanted to confirm if this shadow had information about the Yao race and used the information Cheng gave him earlier to ask the second shadow such question;

"Un?"

"Um… Erm… They are the same?"

The Second Shadow was guessing and hoping Min Hong wouldn't know the answer to the question itself, but Min Hong simply sighed in disappointment before looking to the shadow;

"You have provided me with no useful information… I guess I should throw you back into the pit…" Min Hong spoke as he raised his hands towards the Second Shadow who blanched in fear and quickly blurted;

"Wait a moment, please young master…"

"Ask me anything else… Please give me another chance to prove my worth… I beg you, young master…"

The Second Shadow was almost in tears if he could shed one as he would rather prefer to die than to be plunged back into that aggressive Chaos Qi;

Hu!

Min Hong sighed;

"Alright, this is your last chance…"

"Thank you so much, young mast-"

"-But…" Min Hong interrupted;

"If you fail to impress me this time, I will throw you into the void and you know that would be worse than that pit…"

Min Hong threatened as he saw an expression of terror take over the shadows demeanor before nodding to himself after confirming that they seemed to dread the empty void more than the spatial pocket of Chaos Qi;

"I will do my best, young master…"

"Right… After all, your very life depends on it…" Min Hong then dropped his arm before asking;

"Alright, what can you tell me about that seal you were just about to use on me?"

"Oh? You mean the brand of the haunted?" The Shadow asked back as Min Hong nodded his head;

"Well, just as their name implies, they are called the 'Haunted Mark'…"

"They released some unique types of demonic Gu which not only feeds on the life force of the branded one, but also their Qi, blood and vitality…"

"They are extremely difficult to spot by anyone who is not branded, and even those who are branded are tormented by nightmares that distracts them from the seal…"

"The seal is spiritual and can access the branded one's memory to find their worst nightmare and whatever experiences in their past that haunts them the most…"

"The seal then overlaps these two memories and amplify them based on the Soul Cultivation level difference between the bestowal of the brand and the bestowed…"

"So, compared to a 8 Star Nascent Soul Cultivator, how much amplification would one be looking at if the brand was bestowed by a 1 Star Saint Stage expert?" Min Hong asked;
