"It's time for the execution!"
Following the shout of the executioner, the five executioners below the platform lined up in a line. The one at the front was the apothecary sent by the Huangfu Clan. He scanned Tie Rukuang's body with his divine sense and checked Tie Rukuang's condition. Then, he pinched open Tie Rukuang's lower jaw and stuffed a spirit pill that could replenish blood and qi into Tie Rukuang's mouth to help him digest it. This way, Tie Rukuang would not die during the execution.
Such a cruel punishment could take a life in a day, so how could it be guaranteed that the person being tortured could survive for three months?
This was the purpose of sending the pharmacist here. His responsibility was to keep the person being tortured alive.
"Huangfu clan … I … have never fought for anything in my life. How dare you … bully me like this?"
After being forced to eat the elixir, Iron Like Madness regained a little vitality. He opened his bloodshot eyes and roared in a low voice.
When the alchemist heard this, he sneered and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for teaching such a good disciple. In order to force him out, I can only wrong you. Don't worry, when he shows himself, I will give you a quick death!"
Iron Like Madness was enraged and shouted, "He … he has been expelled by our Blue Cloud Sect. What does that have to do with me? You … You … You … You want to use this old man to force him out? That's a waste of effort … The Huangfu Clan is called the Concealed Emperor in vain, but they can't even deal with a child like this … Helpless, they even resorted to such a vicious scheme. Don't you feel ashamed?
The HuangFu alchemist revealed an eerie smile: "It's true that you were expelled from the sect, but it's not necessarily true to say that you two no longer have a master and disciple relationship. At the very least, that brat blew up the three valleys and plundered them, but he didn't touch a single hair on the True Forging Valley. Plus, you protected him back then, so if that brat had any conscience, he wouldn't have watched you suffer for three months, right?"
At this point, he paused slightly and laughed sinisterly. He lowered his voice and said, "Moreover, so what if that brat doesn't show up? He's just a dispensable Foundation Establishment cultivator. My Huangfu clan can still afford to kill him! "
For a moment, Iron Like Madness's eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have gone mad.
The Huangfu alchemist's words were their true thoughts.
So what if he couldn't lure Fang Xing out?
In any case, he was just a dispensable Foundation Building cultivator. In the eyes of the Huangfu Clan, he was just like an ant, not worth mentioning. Killing someone like him was no big deal. It would be great if they could lure out Fang Xing, but even if they couldn't, they wouldn't feel any psychological burden …
Seeing Iron Like Madness's rage, the Apothecary found it all the more interesting. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Begin the execution!"
"Boom …"
In the sky, eight formation flags revolved, attracting endless dark clouds. After a long while, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm descended from the clouds, crackling as it struck the purple-gold pillar that bound Iron Like Madness. The lightning energy was like a silver snake, coiling around the copper pillar before pouring into Iron Like Madness's body. Amidst the deafening explosion, Iron Like Madness did not scream. Instead, he madly shouted, "HuangFu Clan, you dare to humiliate me like this?"
"Boom …"
After the first bolt of lightning struck, the second bolt of lightning struck the Purple Copper Pillar.
Iron Like Madness's voice seemed louder than thunder. "This old man only taught a disciple and passed on his teachings. I, Iron Like Madness, have a clear conscience. Yet, you accuse me of a crime and humiliate me. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
"Hmph, you still have the strength to shout? Looks like the punishment is still too light!"
The Apothecary sneered. "You can increase the strength of the next bolt of lightning. With me watching, he won't die!"
"Boom …"
The third bolt of lightning was three times thicker than the previous two. It struck the purple copper pillar like liquid lightning.
"Ah …"
No matter how strong Iron Like Madness's bones were, he could not bear the soul-tearing pain and howled.
The Huangfu Clan's Apothecary sneered. "Divine retribution? If there's a sky in Nan Zhan, it's my Huangfu Clan! "
"You're dreaming if you think you can force that little bastard to come out with such despicable methods. You'll only anger him …"
After howling in pain, Iron Like Madness was filled with boundless anger. "He's the person chosen by Master Bai. How could he be captured so easily? I didn't know why Master Bai chose him, but now I know. The harsher your punishment is, the greater his potential. You've made a grave mistake. You think he's the one who angered the Huangfu Clan, but in fact, it's the Huangfu Clan that has angered him all along. If you kill me today, that brat will definitely destroy the Huangfu Clan when he grows up … "
The hysterical voice came from the execution platform and spread far and wide.
Iron Like Madness, who was suffering in pain, did not really believe that Fang Xing had the ability to destroy the Huangfu Clan. However, he had to give himself a glimmer of hope in his desperate situation. Therefore, he placed his hope on the brat who brought him such a disaster. Since the brat was chosen by the mysterious Master Bai, he must have something special about him!
Even the Huangfu Clan couldn't do anything to him, which further proved the little demon's ability. Since he had the ability, he shouldn't have appeared here. He should have hidden himself and waited for the little ant to grow into a man-eating beast before taking revenge for him.
"Master …"
In the valley below the execution platform, the Makshin Valley disciples knelt down and cried.
However, as they were only at the Spiritual Movement Realm, they didn't even dare to cry too loudly, let alone save Iron Like Madness.
Around the execution platform, there were countless cultivators on the left and right, quietly watching Iron Like Madness being tortured on the execution platform. After the news of Iron Like Madness's torture spread, the Blue Cloud Sect completely opened up the Mountain Guarding Formation and allowed cultivators from all walks of life to come in and watch the torture. Firstly, it was to deter Zhu Xiu and let them know the consequences of going against the Huangfu Clan. Secondly, it was to use their mouths to spread the news.
Secondly, it was to give the brat, who was hiding somewhere, a chance to come in. The Huangfu Clan believed that as long as the brat saw Iron Like Madness being tortured, he wouldn't be able to bear it and would show himself. After all, the Huangfu Clan had a deep foundation and raised many strategists. Some people had already analyzed the little devil Fang Xing's actions. They had even determined that Fang Xing was in fact Fang Xiaojiu, a disciple of the Snowy Mountain. However, due to the involvement of the Spiritual Mountain Temple, the Huangfu Clan had to accept this fact.
And if Fang Xiaojiu was Fang Xing, then they could see some clues from their actions. The Huangfu family's strategist believed that Fang Xiaojiu had purposely cut off his connection with the Great Snow Mountain so that he would not bring disaster to the Great Snow Mountain. It could be seen that this little devil was not a heartless person. Since he was not heartless, it meant that he had a weakness, and they just had to target it.
They had already determined that if Fang Xiaojiu saw Iron Like Madness being tortured, there was at least a 70% chance that he would show himself.
They had purposely set the sentence to be as long as three months for this purpose. These three months were undoubtedly a kind of torture for Tie Rukuang, but it was also a kind of torture for the little devil hiding in the dark. No, he could endure it.
On a mountain peak, under an ancient pine tree, two people were playing chess. One of them was wearing a red robe, it was Elder Qing Niao, while the other was wearing a linen robe, it was Xiao Shanhe, who had a solemn expression on his face. Tie Rukuang's furious roars continuously resounded on the execution platform, but the two of them were expressionless as they took turns to place their chess pieces. However, the scattered chess pieces on the chessboard showed that their hearts were not as calm as they thought.
"Junior Sister Blue Bird, you've placed a wrong piece again!"
Xiao Shan He said calmly after blocking Elder Blue Bird's few white chess pieces.
Elder Blue Bird let out a long sigh and stopped playing. She simply asked, "Will that brat appear?"
"He will!"
Xiao Shan He said plainly and glanced at the cultivators outside who came to watch the execution. "Perhaps he's already here!"
Elder Blue Bird frowned and casually placed a chess piece. She said softly, "After all, Iron Like Madness is from the same sect as us …"
Xiao Shan He sneered. "Is friendship from the same sect more important, or is cultivation opportunity more important?"
With a clap, he placed a chess piece down and said, "Moreover, even if this brat doesn't appear, we'll still receive a lot of rewards for giving the Huangfu Clan such a suggestion. We'll have enough confidence in stepping into the Gold Core Realm. When the time comes, as long as we form our Gold Cores, what can that brat do to us? Haha, no matter what we do, we'll still win! "
Hearing this, Elder Blue Bird did not speak anymore. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
"It's already done anyway!" She thought.
"Should we go in?"
At this moment, in a teahouse at the foot of the Blue Cloud Sect's mountain, the Great Golden Crow who had transformed into a black crow squatted on Fang Xing's shoulder and asked softly. At this moment, Fang Xing had changed his appearance. He used the disguise technique of the Jianghu to disguise himself as a middle-aged man. At the same time, he also concealed his aura. This way, as long as they were not too close, even a Golden Core cultivator would not be able to find him.
From where they were, they could see the dark clouds that occupied the top of the Blue Cloud Sect's mountain. Every time a bolt of lightning fell, Golden Crow could feel Fang Xing's body tense up. Although he did not show any expression on his face, Golden Crow could feel his anger.
They had been here for three days, and Fang Xing had been holding back and did not make a move.
From the moment they arrived, Fang Xing had seen through the seemingly loose but hidden formation and disguised cultivators. He had already determined that no matter what method he used to save Iron Like Madness, the success rate would be less than 10%. Therefore, he had not left during this period of time. Instead, he had been anxiously circling around.
In the Golden Crow's opinion, they should either make a move or leave. It was very worried about Fang Xing's current state.
However, it understood what Fang Xing was thinking at this moment, so it had been waiting.
Not far away from Fang Xing and Golden Crow, an old man in a gray robe looked at them indifferently. The old man looked very ordinary, and his aura was almost undetectable. He had been watching Fang Xing and Golden Crow for a long time and had been following them not far away. However, with Fang Xing and the Great Golden Crow's alertness, they did not notice his existence at all and did not know that someone was following them.
