Yan Li's boat was fully occupied on the way back. Another five days passed. From the heated discussions of the passengers, he learned that more than half of them were there to watch the "double nines."
The Double Nines Punishment was the highest form of punishment in the immortal world. Due to its inhumanity, only those who had committed heinous crimes and heinous crimes would be sentenced to this punishment. Thus, it usually took years or even decades to see it.
Thus, every double nines was no less than a grand festival. The sentence announced by the Heavenly Measures Tower also had the intention of "punishing the chicken to warn the monkey."
In the cabin, the four discussed their itinerary.
Ji Hyun-woon said matter-of-factly, "This prince will go. That Yang Qingning killed many soldiers from the Parting Hatred Palace and attempted to assassinate this prince several times. This prince's hatred will only be appeased after seeing her die a miserable death!"
Yuan Fulun shuddered as he said, "This old man has heard rumors that the victim will experience inhuman pain during the process of being tortured. Furthermore, the pain will pile on top of one another until one's soul disappears. It can be said to be the worst torture!" He shuddered as he said that.
"Senior, you've never seen it before?" Yan Li asked.
"The most recent one happened. This old man was still struggling in the Hunting Group." Yuan Fulun shrugged. "It happened sixty to seventy years ago. The culprit is said to have colluded with the Demon World, causing the nine sects to suffer a crushing defeat at the Demon-Buster Conference. Thus, it was passed with nine votes, and the sentence is double nines."
Yan Li was enlightened. No wonder so many people flocked to the immortal world, treating the double nines as a "spectacle" that they would never see in their lives.
"What does the name of the Double Nines Punishment mean?" He couldn't help but ask.
Lu Hanqing cracked his neck and grinned. "Eighty-one soul-piercing nails are pierced into the body's vital acupoints one by one. With each nail, the torturer will feel the pain of his body being crushed. This pain will not weaken, but will pile on top of each other. It's said that the most resilient torturer will be screaming by the third nail. After that, he will be hovering between fainting and waking up from the pain …"
What a frightening description.
Speaking up to this point, he was the first to feel uncomfortable. He drank a mouthful of hot water and sighed, saying, "This is only the beginning. When the eighty-one Soul Piercing Nails entered the body, the extreme Yin energy would first destroy the meridians and then the Dao foundation, uprooting everything that one had cultivated painstakingly. The process was extremely cruel. Finally, the people of the Five Elements Court will carry out the 'Heavenly Punishment', which is the unique divine ability of the Five Elements Court – the Nine Yang Divine Thunder. Just one bolt is enough to make the soul of the person being punished scatter. "
When the three of them heard this, their bodies trembled and they sat on pins and needles.
Ji Hyun-woon stood up and took two steps forward. His expression gradually turned cruel as he said: "Good, good! If he didn't do this, how could his father rest in peace? It's best to capture all of her accomplices and torture them together! "
"The Fengtian Sect has suffered a great loss this time. They won't show themselves easily." Yuan Fulun said.
"Although they are disciples of the Fengtian Sect, why are they sentenced to double nine?" Lu Hanqing couldn't understand.
Ji Hyun-woon grunted: "As long as the result is beneficial to us, who cares what the reason is!" He was dissatisfied with his subordinate's unnecessary worry. He casually kicked Lu Hanqing's armor, making clanging sounds.
Lu Hanqing was already used to his temper, so he had no choice but to endure it.
Yan Li thought of Liumu Bingjian. Under that woman's gentle appearance, there was actually a violent little beast. Even if he used his knees to think, he knew that she was the one who pulled the strings for this judgment. From this, it could be seen that although Kunlun only had one teacher and one disciple, their weight couldn't be underestimated.
He also thought of the strongest Sword Immortal he met in the Endless Sea. A man with a sword, black clothes and gray hair. Even after so long, the impression was still deep. If he had a strong cultivation base, many things would be different, right? But thinking about it, with such a strong cultivation base, it didn't seem like he was very happy.
In this world, you have to give up something to gain. On the other hand, if you want to gain, you have to lose something.
The final destination of the ship was Dingling, where the Pure Yang Temple was located.
The place of execution was Juzhang, the training hall of the Five Elements Court, Mount Five Elements.
Without delay, they immediately got off the ship and took another train to Juzhang.
Three days later, they arrived at Tongqu County, Juzhang. There was no water route, so they had to take the land route. They rested in the county for a night. The next day, they rented a horse carriage and traveled for a day and a night to the foot of Mount Five Elements.
The day they arrived was the first of June. At the foot of Mount Five Elements, there were temporary tents everywhere. It was crowded and noisy. Hawkers, tea stalls, and wine shops could be seen everywhere.
It was already very hot in the morning.
There was still a long time before they had to wait until the afternoon.
The four of them looked at the crowd and were in a dilemma.
"I heard that the path up the mountain will only be opened at noon. You guys wait here, I'll think of a way to enter earlier," Yan Li said.
"What do you have in mind?" Ji Hyun-woon frowned, expressing his doubt.
"I'll rely on my connections." Yan Li walked forward.
"I almost forgot that the Immortal World is now the pig head's home ground." Ji Hyun-woon immediately smiled and shouted at Yan Li's back, "Pig head, it's time for you to play your role. Don't let me down."
Yan Li didn't stop walking and waved his hand.
The further he went, the more crowded the crowd became.
When he was still a long distance away from the white jade steps at the entrance, the crowd was already so dense that it was like pickled vegetables in a jar. He couldn't get through even the slightest gap.
The unique smell of the crowd, coupled with the hot weather, made him feel nauseous. He had no choice but to breathe inwardly.
He couldn't find any gap, so he leaped and leaped from the top of the crowd.
"Hey, you're courting death!" Someone saw him and immediately shouted.
Someone laughed coldly and said, "He's courting death. The disciples of the Five Elements Court are all guarding the entrance. Think about what happened to the previous one."
The crowd thought about the previous one's corpse, which had already been burnt to ashes. They immediately laughed coldly and waited for the scene of the person who cut the queue seeking his own death.
This was a very long distance, but it only took him three to five leaps to cross it.
On the platform at the bottom of the white jade steps, there was an inkstone gate. In front of the gate stood a row of disciples of the Five Elements Court. They stood there coldly and solemnly. Seeing a person leap over, one of them raised his eyebrows and said, "Today is already chaotic enough, but there are people who don't follow the rules. They really don't know what's good for them." As he said that, he formed a hand seal and shot out a thunderfire.
When Yan Li heard this, he already knew that the other party was going to make a move. He formed a sword with his fingers and activated the sword art, extinguishing the thunderfire and landing on the ground.
The crowd instantly quieted down. This guy actually dared to fight back. He was dead for sure!
"Who are you?" The person who made a move had good eyesight. He could tell that Yan Li's move was not something an ordinary individual could do.
Yan Li cupped his fists and said, "I'm Yan Li from the Cangjian Peak. I'm here to observe the ceremony. Can you make an exception?"
He was the rising genius swordsman of the Court Of Sword, Yan Li!
The crowd exclaimed in surprise. Only then did they realize that they had been looking at him through the crack of the door. Since he dared to cut the queue, he naturally had the confidence.
