The guard captain stood outside the palace walls and watched as Ji Tianxing was escorted into the Torture Department.
He raised his hand to wipe off the bloodstains on his face, revealing a smug grin.
"Little bastard! You want to fight me? I'll kill you! "
After viciously cursing, he turned around and left in satisfaction.
Soon, two executioners escorted Ji Tianxing into the dark, bloody, and putrid Torture Department.
There was a semicircular hall at the entrance. There were six passageways connected to it.
There were several guards guarding the entrance of each passageway.
The executioners escorted Ji Tianxing into the second passageway on the left. They headed to the deepest prison cell.
The prison cell was not big. It was only thirty feet square.
Two dark red gemstone lamps were lit in the corner. All kinds of ferocious torture instruments were hung on the walls.
Two executioners tied Ji Tianxing to a dark red pillar. They used a few rusty and bloodstained chains to tie him up.
Then, one of them took out a dark purple Soul Punishing Whip and said expressionlessly, "You violated the rules of Beiming Palace. You drank too much and offended your superiors.
According to the law, you should be punished with fifty lashes and imprisoned for a month to reflect on your mistakes! "
The executioner waved the long Soul Punishing Whip and whipped it at Ji Tianxing.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
A series of crisp cracking sounds could be heard. A dazzling purple light flashed.
The vicious Soul Punishing Whip struck Ji Tianxing's body again and again, tearing his skin and flesh apart and causing blood to spurt out.
However, he kept his head down and did not make a sound.
After all, this body did not belong to him.
He had already used a little trick to sever the connection between his Divine Soul and his body.
Even if this body was cut into pieces, he would not feel any pain.
However, the executioner was a little perverted. Seeing that he did not scream or twitch, he became angrier and waved the Soul Punishing Whip with all his might.
"Hmph! You're quite stubborn. Since you don't know how to repent, I'll add another ten lashes! "
Just like that, the original fifty lashes became sixty lashes.
A hundred breaths later, the execution was finally over.
The executioner put away the Soul Punishing Whip and left the cell expressionlessly.
As for Ji Tianxing's body, his clothes were ragged and his flesh was badly mangled. He had been beaten to a horrible state.
But he didn't care. His hair was disheveled and he lowered his head, not saying a word.
At first glance, it looked like he had fainted from the beating.
But in fact, he was secretly probing the situation in the Torture Department with his soul.
He had to find Ji Ke's location as soon as possible and determine which cell she was imprisoned in. Only then could he proceed with the next step of his plan.
…
In Beiming Palace.
In a hidden and spacious secret room.
More than a dozen gemstone lamps were lit on the walls, illuminating the secret room in a dark red color.
There was a stone table in the middle of the secret room. On it were several plates of spirit fruits and pastries, as well as a pot of spirit tea.
Four experts with different appearances were sitting by the stone table, waiting quietly.
Three of them were Demon Race experts.
There was the Great Demon Saint Ling Xuan in a black robe, the Third Demon Saint Sheng Tuo, and a newly promoted Demon Saint, a bald man wearing a skull mask.
As for the fourth person, it was An Yu, who wore silver armor and looked like a half-lion man.
Ever since they decided on the plan to wait for the rabbit to appear, the four of them had been hiding in this secret room, patiently waiting.
After a few days, none of them were in the mood to talk. They all closed their eyes and rested.
At this moment, the stone door of the secret room opened.
A guard commander walked in, his expression respectful as he walked to Ling Xuan's side and bowed respectfully.
Ling Xuan opened his eyes and asked in a low voice, "It's been a few days. Is there still no movement?"
The guard commander replied honestly, "Reporting to Great Demon Saint, all of the guards are on high alert, guarding the perimeter of the Godly Mountain tightly. There is no trace of Ji Tian Xing.
Beiming Palace and the Torture Department are the key areas to be monitored, but there are no abnormalities. "
Ling Xuan nodded slightly and asked expressionlessly, "Just now, I detected that someone went in and out of the Torture Department?"
The guard commander was startled and quickly explained, "Great Demon Saint, it's a guard of Beiming Palace. He was drunk last night and missed today's duty.
After being reprimanded by the guard commander, this person took the opportunity to cause trouble and had a conflict with the guard commander.
Thus, the captain of the guards invited two executioners to bring the guard to the torture department and punish him severely. "
Ling Xuan frowned and his eyes flashed with anger. He warned in a dignified tone, "At such a critical moment, there are still people who let their guard down!
Such a disregard for the law should be punished severely!
Pass down the order, tell everyone to watch closely. If anyone makes a mistake, I will chop off his head! "
The guard commander quickly cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate obeys! This subordinate will take his leave. "
After bowing, he hurriedly retreated.
The secret room returned to silence.
An Yu, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at Ling Xuan. He asked expressionlessly, "It's already the sixth day, but Ji Tianxing still hasn't appeared.
I'm afraid he's scared out of his wits and doesn't dare to come. "
Saying this, the corner of his mouth hooked up in a self-deprecating smile. He shook his head and said, "But this is normal. Anyone with a brain would know that this is a trap.
We were too confident and overestimated Ji Tianxing! "
Ling Xuan frowned and didn't refute him. He smiled and said, "Lord An Yu, don't worry. Don't we still have four days?
After four days, if Ji Tianxing still doesn't appear, we will think of other ways.
He's in our hands, so we have the initiative. There will be a way to deal with him! "
An Yu nodded and didn't say anything else.
Anyway, if the Great Demon Saint could deal with Ji Tianxing, he would help.
If he had to go to Pillar of Heavens Mountains to deal with Ji Tianxing, he would definitely not agree.
Unless the Demon Race paid three times the price.
Ling Xuan wanted to use him for his own selfish reasons.
How could he not have selfish motives? How could he not be using the Demon Race?
…
An hour later.
Ji Tianxing finally found traces of Ji Ke, and only then did he stop casting the spell.
If it was any other time, he would only need to use his Divine Sense to envelop the Torture Department and he would be able to locate Ji Ke immediately.
However, it was different now. There were elite soldiers inside and outside the Torture Department and many Sacred Arrays were set up.
There were also a few Martial Sages who were secretly using their Divine Sense to monitor this place.
Once he used his Divine Sense, his identity would be exposed immediately.
Therefore, he could only use his Divine Sense to sense the aura of the Heavenly Star Chain.
After all, he was the one who made the Heavenly Star Chain and no one knew it better than him.
He could clearly sense that Ji Ke was imprisoned at the end of the third passage on the right, in the most heavily guarded cell.
There were many soldiers and ambushes inside and outside the cell.
On the surface, there were more than 30 elite guards and more than 10 Demon Kings hiding in the dark.
Once Ji Tianxing appeared, he would be surrounded immediately.
If a fight broke out, the Martial Sages hiding in Beiming Palace would arrive instantly.
