Inspection Department.
The deepest part of the prison was dark and stinky.
A handsome young man with a wind god was hanging in the air. His body was covered with whip marks and stained with blood. His pipa bone was tightly locked by two steel claws. He looked bloody, ferocious and shocking.
In front of him, there were several torture instruments, most of which were stained with blood and had obviously been used.
Under normal circumstances, torture chambers like this would not be opened and would only be used when extremely heinous criminals were arrested.
Even in places like the Inspection Department Prison, this torture chamber has not been used for more than ten years.
Unexpectedly, it was used on this young man!
At this time, the young man was already dying, as if there was no sign of life. He was sprayed with green powder on the wound, barely hanging on to his life. He really couldn't survive or die!
Being tortured severely while continuing to heal at the same time, this kind of pain is definitely not something ordinary people can imagine.
If it weren't for this young man's strong willpower and the fact that he was a genius who had obtained the 'Ascension Order' before being locked into prison, he would probably have been unable to withstand the torture and would have gone insane.
This person is surprisingly the former number one genius of the Sacred Academy and the third ranked being in the last Immortal Competition - Xiao Jiyuan!
Even though he was tortured like this in the Inspection and Discipline Department and was about to be interrogated and executed tomorrow, he did not flatly deny the relationship between himself and Qin Dong. He firmly believed that Qin Dong himself was the one who was tortured. He was unjustly accused and was framed by a villain, so he escaped from the Holy Empire...
In order to make Xiao Jiyuan fully feel the pain and regret before execution, at this moment, nobles from the seven major families came to the execution room in person.
First, not just one person came, but three!
The leader, called Bao Tianlin, is the eldest young master of the Bao family. He has reached the third level of divine power. He is one of the most powerful among the younger generations of the seven major families!
He came here in person not only to torture Xiao Jiyuan, but also had ulterior motives. More than once, he wanted to find out from Xiao Jiyuan about Lou Qingying's preferences and some personal privacy. The eldest daughter of the family took it for her own use and used it to scheme against the entire Lou family.
No matter what, the Lou family was one of the eight major families in the past!
There is a saying that goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Lou family is now less powerful than before and has been squeezed out by the seven major families. However, the foundation is still there and the foundation has not been damaged.
If Bao Tianlin took advantage of this moment to swoop in, win Lou Qingying's heart, and establish a close connection with the Lou family, it would be much easier for him to plot his plans at that time.
The other two people, one of whom is called Jun Congji, are the eldest sons of the third generation of the Jun family. Their status is quite respected, but their strength is still at the seventh level of the Heavenly Soul Realm, and they are barely the best among the younger generation.
There is another person, named Hou Chengwang, who is also a direct young master in the Hou family. Because he is very interested in the remaining properties of the Xiao family, he formed a private alliance with the first two and came to the torture chamber, planning to Use Xiao Jiyuan as a breakthrough point to plot.
It can be said that the three young masters standing here all have ulterior motives and evil intentions, and none of them came to the torture chamber for no reason.
Seeing Xiao Jiyuan's lifeless look, Hou Chengwang was afraid that his fight would be in vain, so he took the lead and said: "Brother Bao, this Xiao Jiyuan has been tortured for so long, will he not be able to survive tomorrow?" Execution means death, right? If that's the case, wouldn't it be a great pity..."
In order to achieve his goal, he became worried about Xiao Jiyuan's safety. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the cat cried and the mouse pretended to be compassionate.
"Don't worry, in order to meet this loser before tomorrow, I have already arranged everything, including the new Deputy Fan."
Bao Tianlin sneered at the corner of his mouth and said nonchalantly.
"Young Master Bao is really courageous. Even Deputy Fan has taken care of things in advance."
Jun Congji rubbed his hands excitedly and praised.
"Now that everything is arranged, hurry up!"
Hou Chengwang couldn't wait to say: "Master Bao, you come first. When you get what you want, I will take action to see if I can pry something valuable out of this waste's mouth..."
"Um."
Bao Tianlin nodded slightly, without any hesitation, and suddenly struck out with a burst of energy, hitting the iron chain on Xiao Jiyuan's chest.
The iron chain and the steel claw were connected to each other. This vibration immediately pulled the wound and caused severe friction with the pipa bone. The pain was chilling to watch.
"ah!"
Xiao Jiyuan screamed and suddenly opened his eyes. His face was full of pain and resentment, but he didn't say a word and stared at the three of them, as if he had no intention of begging for mercy.
He knew all three of these people, especially Bao Tianlin, who was once his love rival. How could Xiao Jiyuan beg for mercy from this person when he knew he was about to die?
He is extremely talented and a super genius in the Sacred Academy. If he hadn't offended the seven major families, he would have entered the Immortal Sect and become a disciple of the Immortal Sect. How arrogant is that? How extraordinary?
Even if you die, you will die standing up, and you will never live on your knees!
"Yo!"
"You loser, you have such a strong temper."
"You've already stepped on a horse like this, and you still don't want to ask for mercy?"
The sound of joking ridicule sounded, and Bao Tianlin came to Xiao Jiyuan arrogantly with a proud face, patted his face, and sneered: "Those tortures before were just trivial. If you know what's going on, you'd better be Tell all the secrets of that little bitch Lou Qingying, otherwise, don’t think of dying too easily..."
"Beast! Aren't your seven major families suppressing the Lou family and about to force them out of the royal city? What do you want to do if you still have a trace of Qingying? Is it possible that you, too, want to plot against the Lou family!"
Xiao Jiyuan's eyes were about to burst, and he was furious and said, if it was anyone else, he wouldn't care, but if it involved Lou Qingying, he couldn't control his emotions at all, and he just wanted to swallow Bao Tianlin.
"Suppressing the Lou family is just the first step taken by our seven major families to retaliate against Qin Dong. It even includes you and the Huangji Taoist House."
Bao Tianlin did not hide anything and blurted out: "If nothing else happens, the entire Huangji Taoist Palace should have fallen into the control of our seven major families. Next, as long as you die, our seven major families will encroach on you." Only by defeating the Lou family and your Xiao family can we complete the second step..."
"As for the third step, naturally we will continue to gather all the forces, and even invite the masters in the empire, to kill this thief before Qin Dong rises, and avoid future troubles forever."
"So... you have no room for resistance, and it is impossible to survive in the hands of our seven major families. If you want to die a happy death, it is best to truthfully tell Miss Lou's secret. Don't worry, she has become my woman. From now on, I will definitely favor you and will not let you down..."
After hearing Bao Tianlin's plan, Xiao Jiyuan's eyes turned red and his heart seemed to be bleeding!
Pain, regret, unwillingness...
All kinds of thoughts were like a tide, constantly invading his mind and torturing Xiao Jiyuan repeatedly.
Only now did he understand that from the beginning to the end, the seven major families had no intention of letting him go, the Xiao family, let alone the Lou family, and Lou Qingying...
They are a pair of hard-luck mandarin ducks who obviously love each other, but they have suffered many hardships. The last time they got help from Qin Dong, they solved the knot, but this time no matter what, they may not be able to survive.
Facing such behemoths as the Seven Great Families, it seemed that... Xiao Jiyuan had no chance to resist at all, and could only become a piece of meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others.
Even so, Xiao Jiyuan still did not choose to compromise, but slowly closed his eyes and said as if he was resigned to his fate: "Beast, if you want to kill, kill him. If Xiao frowns, he is not a real man! Let me betray Qing. Shadow...don’t even think about it.”
"You trash, you're already on the verge of death, why are you pretending to be a hero to me? It's easy for you to die, but if you want to be free from any pain at all, how is that possible?"
Bao Tianlin cursed angrily. Perhaps he had already guessed that this former super genius would not give in easily, so he turned his palm over and took out a rusty knife.
This knife, unpolished, doesn't look sharp at all.
But Bao Tianlin actually planned to use this blunt knife to cut the flesh of Xiao Jiyuan's body, giving him a thousand cuts!
