Words:911Update:22/06/30 03:52:44
The Imperial Palace was filled with the pungent stench of blood. Within the main hall, Qin Yu Yan sat upon the throne that symbolized the throne of the Emperor. Her gentle and elegant face, was wearing her usual gentle smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Below the main hall, the disciples of the Qing Yun Clan, led by Jiang Chen Qing, sat in a circle. Their mouths were curled up in smiles, and their eyes were fixed upon the figure lying prostrate in the middle of the hall.
The man's robes were in tatters, his hair disheveled, and his body was riddled with wounds of various sizes. Fresh blood flowed from the ghastly wounds onto the cold marble floor, and his once tall and straight body was now curled up in a ball, shivering.
The eunuchs in the corner stared in horror at the scene before them. They would never have dreamt that they would be caught in such a calamity.
"Your Majesty is still unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of the Soul Jade? Why must you do this? The Qing Yun Clan and the Kingdom of Qi have always been on good terms, why must you resort to such a vexing act? " Qin Yu Yan, who was seated upon the throne, sighed helplessly, as she stared helplessly at the figure sprawled on the floor like a dead dog.
Mo Qian Yuan, the newly crowned Emperor of the Kingdom of Qi, who was supposed to be revered and revered by the people, had now become the subject of torment within the main hall.
Mo Qian Yuan did not have the strength to struggle at that moment, and he lay on the cold floor of the main hall, barely breathing. On that handsome face, there were two ghastly scars, running from his left and right eyebrows down to his lower jaw. The fresh wounds were still bleeding profusely, but Mo Qian Yuan had completely ignored the pain, as his body felt like it was being sliced and diced with knives and swords, and the pain was so excruciating that he was about to faint.
But Mo Qian Yuan knew, that he would not faint.
He could not remember how long he had endured the agony. The only thing he remembered was that early yesterday morning, the Qing Yun Clan had barged into the Imperial Palace, forced the court officials to retreat, and shut the entrance to the main hall. They had dragged him, the ruler of the kingdom, off the throne, and forced an unknown poison down his throat.
That was when the agony began …..
The tendons in his arms and legs had been severed, and his spine had been severed. He did not know how many times he had been slashed across his body. The pain was so excruciating that he could not even bear it for a moment, but the Qing Yun Clan had fed him medicine to keep him awake. Even if the pain drove him mad, he would never be able to pass out, and could only endure the excruciating pain.
Mo Qian Yuan wanted to laugh, laugh at his own naivety, laugh at his own stupidity. Wasn't everything that had happened today because of his own soft-heartedness?
If he had listened to Jun Xie and struck first, he would not have fallen into the hands of the Qing Yun Clan!
However, he truly did not expect the number one sect in the world to be so vicious. They did not even allow him to die in peace.
He had thought that Jun Xie was vicious, but compared to the people from the Qing Yun Clan, Jun Xie paled in comparison.
At least, Jun Wu Xie would never kill innocent people.
Was this what Jun Xie wanted to bet with him?
A bet on whether the Qing Yun Clan could live up to its reputation as the number one sect in the world? A bet on whether Qin Yu Yan was as easy to talk to as he had thought?
Mo Qian Yuan swallowed the blood that had welled up in his throat, and the corners of his mouth twitched with difficulty. The last glimmer of leniency in his eyes had disappeared under the torment of the agony.
"You still won't talk?" Qin Yu Yan rested her chin on her hand, looking impatiently at the silent Mo Qian Yuan. She had not expected that the ruler of a small country, would have the guts to lie to her.
