"Hmph! Lang Kui, you have to think carefully. Don't be used by others. "
Lang Du said hypocritically. He was still thinking about the battle formation technique. Naturally, he didn't want Lang Kui to be sentenced to death. It would be best if Lang Kui was crippled. Only then would he have a chance to learn the battle formation technique.
"That's right, Lang Kui. Now that things have come to this, anyone with a discerning eye can see that a small commander like you wouldn't have the guts to openly disobey orders and kill an envoy. This is a capital crime. Don't make a mistake."
Kong Xuan had the same thoughts as Lang Du and also tried to persuade him.
"You don't need to say anything. All of this was done by me, Lang Kui. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
Although Lang Kui didn't know what they were thinking, he knew that these people wanted to put the blame on the General's Residence. Naturally, he wouldn't agree.
"What a stubborn person. Royal Lord, for such a stubborn person, I suggest we use torture to pry open his mouth and interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes to prevent future troubles."
Bai Chuanxin had long disliked Lang Kui. He immediately cupped his fists and bowed to the Royal Lord, pleading with sincerity.
"Yes!"
The Royal Lord's eyelids drooped as he softly spat out a word.
Peng Tian 'ao panicked. He stepped forward and cupped his fists, saying, "Lang Kui has already lost an arm. His body is weak. If we torture him …"
"There's no need to say more. I've made up my mind!"
The Royal Lord impatiently interrupted him and said in an unquestionable tone. His deep eyes glanced at Peng Tian 'ao, full of warning.
Peng Tian 'ao's face turned red. He quietly clenched his fists and lowered his head. He really couldn't understand why the Old Ancestor had changed so much. Could it be that he couldn't see that these King Lords had bad intentions and wanted to cause conflict between the Royal Lord and the General's Residence?
Not only did he not understand, even Kong Xuan and Niu Yue, the two old foxes, couldn't understand. There must be a reason for this abnormality. This abnormal scene made them secretly vigilant.
"Lang Kui, you'd better tell us the truth. Otherwise, you'll suffer physical pain."
Bai Chuanxin rubbed his palms and grinned at Lang Kui.
Lang Kui glanced at him contemptuously. "I've already said that everything was my own doing. Even if you kill me now, I'll give you the same answer. If you want to torture me, then hurry up."
"You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Let's see how long you can be so stubborn."
Bai Chuanxin was infuriated by Lang Kui's contemptuous look. He stretched out his hand, took out a long whip, and ruthlessly lashed it on Lang Kui's body. A whip mark so deep that bones could be seen immediately appeared.
Lang Kui let out a muffled groan, his entire body convulsing in pain. This long whip was actually inlaid with barbs, forcibly tearing off a piece of flesh.
Pa pa pa!
The sound of the whip rang out continuously.
"Are you going to say it or not?"
Bai Chuanxin's eyes flickered with a strange light, and he asked fiercely.
Lang Kui's entire body was covered in blood. Chunks of flesh fell off as the whip whipped him. In just a short moment, his entire body was covered in cuts and bruises. However, even though his face was twisted in pain, he still clenched his teeth and did not make a sound.
"You're being stubborn, right? Don't worry, I like it when you take it slow. I have a lot of methods that I haven't used yet."
Bai Chuanxin was not angry, but happy instead. He spat out his snake tongue, licked his lips, and revealed a sinister smile like that of a demon. Putting away his long braid, he took out a pair of stone pliers, clamped down on Lang Kui's fingernail, and forcefully pulled …
"Ah!"
The ten fingers were linked to the heart. Lang Kui was in so much pain that the veins on his neck bulged. He let out an inhumanly mournful scream, and beads of sweat the size of beans seeped out of his forehead.
Bai Chuanxin's face was filled with a sickly flush. He stared at the half bloody fingernail with an infatuated gaze, and let out a strange cackle. That deranged appearance caused everyone's hair to stand on end, and they shuddered in fear.
You Ye's eyes shimmered, and he slightly narrowed his eyes as he looked at Bai Chuanxin, revealing a thoughtful expression. No wonder Chuan Xiu said that this brother of hers was the best at interrogating. How was he good at interrogating? He was clearly a psychopath.
"Enough, aren't you being too cruel?"
Peng Tianao could not stand it anymore, and stepped forward to question.
"Soft-hearted, step down!"
Without waiting for Bai Chuanxin to retort, the Emperor coldly reprimanded him.
"Old … Emperor …"
Peng Tianao anxiously wanted to defend himself, but he felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the emotionless eyes of the Winged Clan's patriarch. He unwillingly clenched his fists and lowered his head.
"Are you going to speak or not? Let's see how long you can be so stubborn. "
With the emperor's support, Bai Chuanxin became even more spirited. After pulling out the ten fingernails, he used the stone pliers to clamp down on Lang Kui's bloody fingers, and with a hideous smile, he forcefully clamped them down.
"Awoo!"
Lang Kui's finger bones were crushed by the stone pliers, and he howled in pain. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Splash!
A basin of cold water was splashed on Lang Kui, and he woke up again.
"Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
Bai Chuanxin said in an extremely gentle tone, as if he was admiring a perfect work of art. There was an intoxicated look on his face.
"Bah!"
Lang Kui's chest heaved up and down weakly. He clenched his teeth tightly, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of thick, bloody phlegm onto the emperor's face. His eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain.
"Good, good, good. Tough bones, I like it. Hahaha!"
Bai Chuanxin didn't seem to care in the slightest as he wiped off the bloody phlegm on his face. His smile became even more cheerful. He focused on grabbing Lang Kui's bloody hand, and the stone pliers continued to clamp down on the second finger bone …
"You … deserve … to die!"
A furious voice suddenly rang out, and each word was filled with a bone-chilling, terrifying killing intent.
Bai Chuanxin's expression changed dramatically. Like a startled rabbit, he screamed and leapt backwards.
Lang Kui's eyes suddenly widened, and his entire body trembled. His face revealed an expression of disbelief and joy. This voice? How could this be?
Peng Tianao was stunned, and his mind went blank. How could this be? Wasn't he dead?
The other King Lords' expressions also changed, and it was extremely interesting. This … how could this be possible?
With a rumble, the entire Imperial Court's conference hall seemed to shake violently, and after a series of violent swings, it was on the verge of collapse.
The Imperial Lord's eyes flashed with light, as though she had expected this. She raised her hands, and an invisible wave of air spread wildly in all directions, enveloping the entire conference hall. The hall immediately calmed down.
"So she has taken that step and entered pericelestial. No wonder the Old Ancestor was so impatient to use my General's Establishment to establish her might."
A faint voice came from all directions, and no one could accurately pinpoint the other's location.
The King Lords' expressions changed dramatically, and they looked in disbelief at the Imperial Lord. They hadn't expected this old woman to silently enter pericelestial without being exposed.
This was especially true for You Ye and Kong Xuan, who had ill intentions and wanted to provoke a fight between the Imperial Lord and the Marshal's Office. Their backs were drenched in cold sweat, and their gazes towards the Imperial Lord were filled with reverence and lingering fear.
They had thought that the Imperial Lord had gone senile, but it turned out that she had known all along. She was just full of confidence that allowed her to be unbridled, watching them jump around, and even adding fuel to the fire behind their backs to achieve some of her goals.
"Ding Ning, I felt that you wouldn't die so easily. As expected, you really are alive. Come in, let's talk."
There was a faint smile on the Imperial Lord's lips, as if she was greeting an old friend.
"Alright, it is indeed time to talk. However, before that, I want to collect some debts."
The tightly shut door of the meeting hall was kicked open, and a blurry figure shrouded in blinding light swaggered in.
"Mas … mas … mas … marshal …"
Bai Chuanxin was scared out of his wits. His entire body was trembling, and his face was filled with terror. He even stuttered. His legs softened, and a muddy yellow liquid soaked his crotch.
"Do as you wish, take revenge if you have a grudge, take revenge if you have a grudge!"
The Imperial Lord casually spread her hands and took a few steps back, clearly showing that she wouldn't interfere.
"Imperial Lord, you …"
Bai Chuanxin had placed his hopes on the Imperial Lord, but he didn't expect that the Imperial Lord wouldn't care. He was in extreme despair, and looked at You Ye for help.
Unexpectedly, You Ye turned his head to avoid his gaze, causing his heart to fall to the bottom of the valley. You Ye was going to abandon him. The despair of being abandoned by the entire world made him feel a monstrous hatred.
Fuck, since you are heartless, then don't blame me for being heartless. Bah, what bullshit brother-in-law, a coward who can't even take responsibility.
Hatred made him fearless. He shouted hysterically, "Ding Ning, I know that I will definitely die today. I admit it, but let me tell you, I am just a pawn …"
"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about?"
You Ye's expression changed dramatically, and he interrupted sternly. Unfortunately, in his panic, he had a feeling that he was revealing his true intentions.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, You Ye's hair stood on end. Like a ghost, he quickly flashed to the side. His figure slowly faded, and he actually wanted to blend into the darkness.
"Can you leave?"
Ding Ning's cold voice was still echoing in the air. You Ye felt his breath stop. A hot hand had already grabbed his neck, and lifted him up like a child.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"
You Ye's face turned red, and he felt that it was difficult to breathe. His brain was congested, and he desperately wanted to struggle, but the big hand was like an iron hoop, making his whole body numb and powerless. He could not struggle at all.
Everyone's expression changed. Ding Ning seemed to have become stronger again. Even though You Ye was good at assassination and not good at fighting head-on, he was still a real peak Demon King. Even Kong Xuan, who was half a step into pericelestial, would not be able to kill him so easily in a short time.
But Ding Ning just casually grabbed him, and You Ye was captured without a chance to resist. Had his cultivation already broken through to pericelestial?
What they didn't know was that although Ding Ning had indeed become stronger, he was still miles away from pericelestial. He could easily capture You Ye only because he could see through You Ye's concealment, which happened to restrain him.
In addition, You Ye had a guilty conscience, and his courage was broken. He only wanted to escape, so he was caught off guard by Ding Ning and easily captured.
Ding Ning, who had already studied the meridians of the Demon Clan, could easily use the Meridian Severing Hand to control his opponent as long as he caught him.
"Hahaha, good. Damn You Ye, you want to abandon me? You should die first!"
Bai Chuanxin laughed crazily. He did not hate Ding Ning, nor did he hate the Emperor. Instead, he hated his brother-in-law who had abandoned him to the bone.
A crazy person had no scruples. At this moment, Bai Chuanxin only wanted to drag everyone down with him. He laughed crazily and roared, "Jin Jie's death was also premeditated. It was to frame Lang Kui. I don't know who the person behind this is, but it must be one of the Lord here. Ding Ning, kill them all. There is no mistake."
All the Lord's faces changed drastically, except for Peng Tian 'ao. They all shouted angrily, "Bai Chuanxin, are you crazy?"
"Commander, don't listen to this crazy dog's words."
"I swear, this has nothing to do with me. I definitely have no intention of harming Commander."
"This crazy person knows he is going to die. He wants us to die with him."
"Commander, don't believe his nonsense. He just wants us to die together."
…
"Hahaha, the Lord of the Royal Court is really funny. You are too smart, and you lost your life."
Bai Chuanxin laughed so hard that tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Commander, it's great that you are still alive. Then I can rest assured."
Lang Kui lay in a pool of blood. He murmured softly, but there was a gratified smile on his face.
