When he heard this, Nie Changkong was instantly amused. He realized that Lan Hou really shouldn't be too serious with him. Previously, he had argued a little in front of the Overlord, and this bastard immediately blamed him. Now, Miao Yi only had to defend himself, and this bastard immediately pointed his spear at him. Drag him up and execute him first!
At first, Nie Changkong was very dissatisfied with Lan Hou, but now he felt much better. He realized that Lan Hou was just that kind of person. He didn't have anything against Nie Changkong, nor did he intentionally favor anyone.
Seeing the two enforcers from the Martial Manor walking over, Miao Yi instinctively retreated, "What are you trying to do? Am I wrong to defend myself? Where is justice?! Where is justice?! "
Lan Hou tilted his head and said, "Try and hide if you can."
Cheng Aofang immediately berated Miao Yi, "Don't be rash. You're a man. What's there to be afraid of?" She was really afraid that Miao Yi would anger Lan Hou. That would be suicidal, and even she wouldn't be able to save Miao Yi then.
"I'm not afraid. I just feel that it's unfair! Palace Lord, I'm innocent! " Miao Yi tried to defend himself, but he didn't dare to retreat anymore. There was nothing he could do if he wasn't strong enough, and he couldn't bear the consequences of running away. More importantly, he couldn't escape with his own strength! He watched helplessly as the two Martial Manor enforcers grabbed his arms and dragged him to the execution ground.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't afraid. He would rather fight with someone and be slashed seventeen or eighteen times than go through this. Back then, he didn't even blink when he personally chopped off one of his legs. Most importantly, this wasn't pleasant at all. First, he would show you how miserable and painful the other party was. Then, he would drag you to the execution ground step by step. The psychological effects were too strong. Every step would weaken your courage. This was too frightening.
Both of his wrists were locked with a click, and he was forcefully pulled into a '大' shape. Miao Yi swung his arms and shouted, "I refuse to accept this! Governor Lan, you're abusing your power to avenge a personal grudge … "With a loud slap, his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. It wasn't because he was afraid, but because of the stimulation, he instinctively let out a scream. He couldn't say anything.
However, the most painful part wasn't the pain of being whipped. Instead, when the whip came back … Miao Yi could feel the skin on his back being ripped off. His flesh was also ripped off, and the bones on his back were sent flying. He could feel his blood bursting out of the wound.
With just one whip, it was a pleasure that went from the skin to the bone. It was so painful that all the muscles in his body contracted. His fingertips almost dug into his palms, and his toes dug into the ground. His body couldn't help but twist in a strange way, and his nerves were trembling in pain. It looked like he was afraid.
Miao Yi believed that Lan Hou must be abusing his position to avenge a personal grudge. Back then, when he was captured in the capital city, Miao Yi had heard from Uncle Hua that Lan Hou had originally planned to let Qian'Er, Xue'Er, and the others go. However, when Miao Yi found out that Miao Yi was Huo Lingxiao's sworn brother, not only did he not let them go, he even captured him. This time, he had only spoken a few words, and the other party had immediately attacked him. If this wasn't taking revenge for a personal grudge, what was it?
Pa! Another lash of the whip, and the Great Hallmaster Miao couldn't help but let out a blood-curdling scream. He didn't want to scream either. This kind of insane punishment was hard to control.
After five lashes, his entire back was drenched in blood, from his feet to his back. One couldn't see the flesh on his back, and only the red and white bones could be seen.
He was quickly untied, dragged to the side, and thrown down. He would be fine once the beating was over.
It was obvious that Hall Master Miao wasn't very popular. Only a few people from the Traversing Celestial Palace would come out to help each other. The Wood Traversing Celestial Palace had twice the number of people, but no one came out to help the injured Miao Yi.
To be honest, the Hall Master of the Wood Traversing Celestial Palace would be lucky not to kill him. This time, they were all screwed over by him. Right now, all of them had ugly expressions on their faces. Who would care about him?
The lonely Miao Yi gritted his teeth. How could a bunch of grandsons treat their superiors like this? 'Just you wait!'
Cheng Aofang had initially taken out a bottle of spirit pills, but when she saw that Miao Yi was already trembling from the shock, his tightly clenched hands that had yet to fully unclench, he held a stalk of Glorious Star immortal herb in his hands. Like a cow eating grass, he tore off a chunk of it, chewed it, and swallowed it. Then, he quickly invoked his transcendence energy and directed strands of starlight to his back.
Seeing this, Cheng Aofang didn't give him the bottle of spirit pills in her hand. The Glorious Star immortal herb's medicinal efficacy and emergency treatment effects were far superior to those of ordinary spirit pills. It was one of the best healing panaceas in the cultivation realm. However, this herb was difficult to obtain, and only one batch was produced every thousand years.
Under the comfort of the Glorious Star immortal herb's cooling coolness, Miao Yi's taut nerves finally relaxed. The pain was quickly suppressed, and he was so comfortable that he kept moaning. Thanks to the massive consumption of the Glorious Star immortal herb, the wounds on his back were visibly healing at a rapid pace.
The Great Hall Master Miao was wealthy. He had more than one stalk of Glorious Star immortal herb, so he could afford it.
One by one, the Hall Masters were dragged up and whipped, their screams incessant. There weren't many people from the Traversing Celestial Palace, so it didn't take long for the beating to end.
During the group fight at Spring Glory Tower, it seemed like the Wood Traversing Palace side had the advantage in numbers. But now that they were being whipped one by one, they realized that having more people actually made things worse for them. This meant that there were more unlucky people on the Wood Traversing Palace side, and they looked even more miserable.
When Hu Zifen was dragged up, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and her legs went limp.
The Martial Manor was indeed ruthless. They didn't show the slightest bit of mercy to women. With a single lash, it was difficult to even keep the clothes on her back. How could it possibly withstand the tearing of the whip's fangs? Her snow-white back was a ghastly sight to behold.
"Ahhh …" Hu Zifen screamed louder and more desperately than anyone else. A woman's voice was shrill to begin with.
On the Wood Traversing Celestial Palace's side, Li Yujuan's face paled as she watched. Her fingers were intertwined together as her chest heaved up and down rapidly.
Even though Miao Yi's face was still pale, he was no longer in the mood to watch the show. After all, he had already passed the test.
He could now tell that once everyone was directly punished, the ones at the front would be let off the hook. The further they went, the more unlucky they would be. This was because the more they saw, the more pressure they would feel in their hearts. The blood on the ground was already flowing, and the air was filled with the stench of blood. Just the sight alone was enough to scare the hell out of them. One could only imagine how they would feel when they were dragged up to be punished.
Miao Yi was secretly delighted. He guessed that Lan Hou didn't know how to avenge a personal grudge, and had even helped him out a little. Otherwise, he might have peed his pants from hiding until the very end.
However, he was soon disgusted by the people of Wood Traversing Celestial Palace. When someone was being punished, someone would immediately rush up to help them up. Yet, as the Palace Lord's personal assistant, Lan Hou didn't receive such treatment.
Nie Changkong and Cheng Aofang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This kind of punishment seemed to be even more intimidating than the other heavy punishments. Anyone who saw it would feel their scalp go numb and their heart palpitate. As expected, it had a powerful warning effect. This Lan Hou really knew how to pick.
After all the Hall Masters were done with their punishments, Lan Hou looked at the battered Hall Masters on both sides and coldly warned, "This is just a small punishment. If there's a next time, I won't let you off so easily! Palace Masters, please take your people away! "
"Let's recover in the capital city before we go back," Cheng Aofang said to her subordinates.
After the group of people left in a hurry, a few cultivators were cleaning up the execution grounds. Lan Hou walked to the edge of the mountain with his hands behind his back. The corner of his lips curled into a mocking smile as he muttered to himself, "Avenge a personal grudge? Then you should really thank this Martial Governor for using my power to avenge a personal grudge … "
Miao Yi flew down to the guest courtyard of Jade Capital Peak. He noticed that other than Lin Pingping, Tao Qingli, Sikong Wuwei, Zhao Fei and the others were all there.
When they saw Miao Yi, who was covered in blood and had a coat wrapped around his upper body, his complexion was deathly pale. They immediately surrounded him and asked, "What happened?"
Miao Yi grimaced and said, "What else could have happened? Of course I was punished. Let's not talk about this. Let's heal up first."
Returning to his room, Miao Yi took off the coat he was wearing. Everyone immediately gasped. They could see the flesh on the blood-white bones on his back wriggling and growing. It looked a little frightening.
Miao Yi then summoned the Glorious Star immortal herb and handed it over to Lin Pingping. He then invoked his arts, and the tattered clothes on his upper body immediately burst apart. He then walked to the side of the bed, grabbed a pillow, and laid down.
Lin Pingping understood his intentions. She immediately stood beside the bed and invoked her arts, sending wisps of nebula over the wounds on Miao Yi's back.
Not long after, Luo Ping came running in. He had originally gone out to gather information. When he found out that the captives had been released, he immediately ran back to have a look. When he saw Miao Yi's injuries, he sighed and said, "It looks like you were punished with the Dragon Taming Whip. Were you the only one who was punished?"
Miao Yi smiled as he lay there. "Both sides fought. Not a single one of them escaped. Not a single man or woman was spared. They were all in the same state as me. The Hall Masters of Traversing Wood Palace probably hate me to death."
Everyone exchanged glances. Miao Yi then said, "Luo Ping, I need your help with something. Help me find out if Traversing Moon Palace's Suppressing Second Hall Master, Huo Lingxiao, has left yet."
Luo Ping nodded and said, "I'll go look into it right away." He then left.
After confirming that Miao Yi was fine, Tao Qingli and the others didn't stay for long. They immediately returned to Traversing Water Palace. Right now, the people of Traversing Water Palace were still quite unstable, so it wasn't a good idea to leave them for too long.
That night, thanks to the miraculous effects of the Glorious Star immortal herb, Miao Yi's injuries were more or less healed. At the same time, Luo Ping sent word that Huo Lingxiao had already checked out and left.
The next day, Miao Yi went to look for Cheng Aofang as if nothing had happened.
Cheng Aofang didn't know what to say about this Advisor of hers. He, the main culprit, was still alive and kicking. On the other hand, most of the people he had implicated were still recovering from their injuries. They wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon. Even she, the Palace Lord, was temporarily trapped. It wasn't convenient for her to abandon her subordinates and leave. Who knew that this guy would come to say his goodbyes first?
She had already asked him about the situation at the time. If Miao Yi hadn't killed someone, then slapped them in the face and ignited the fire, the situation wouldn't have escalated to this extent. This guy actually dragged so many Hall Masters from both sides into this mess. She was starting to wonder if he had done it on purpose.
