Yesterday, Gao Que was very polite. Although his words were threatening, he was generally considerate and patient with himself.
Why was it that when we met today, it was like eating a powder keg? I casually said something irrelevant and immediately found an excuse to deal with myself.
The iron door opened and two people walked in. They were the subordinates who had been with Gao Que yesterday. One of them tied the still dazed Xu Hanliang to an iron pillar.
Gao Que raised his chin: "Zhang Kang, give him fifty whips first. Don't beat him to death, but don't show mercy. Do you understand?"
The man named Zhang Kang smiled excitedly: "Don't worry, elder, I know the temperature of the fire." He swung the spiked whip in his hand and whirred.
"Gao Que, what do you mean?"
Only then did Xu Hanliang wake up with a start. Seeing that this posture did not seem to be threatening him, he was so frightened that he sweated on his forehead and screamed.
"What do you mean? Aren't you unwilling to surrender? You're wasting Gao's power of words. Give me a beating!"
Gao Que gave an order, Zhang Kang used his arms hard and whipped out without mercy.
There was a snap, followed by a scream that seemed to penetrate a dungeon.
A bloody nine-inch long scar suddenly appeared on Xu Hanliang's chest. It penetrated more than two inches into the flesh, and the surface was twisted. It was clearly plowed by sharp thorns, and the blood spread out like a red ink stain.
Xu Hanliang almost fainted from the pain, his face turned pale, and as his body struggled hard, the iron ropes that bound him left bright red marks.
"Gao Que, I am the young master of the Sword Flower Palace. My father... is the fiftieth on the Tianxing Ranking... Xu Kaiyang, if you treat me like this, my father will never let you go."
Xu Hanliang roared with pain.
Gao Que laughed wildly: "Your father is your father, and you are you. You'd better find a way to deal with this situation. If I kill you, I'm afraid your father will never know who the murderer is."
This sentence reminded Xu Hanliang, and the anger in his eyes was gradually replaced by panic.
He couldn't die. If he died, he would lose everything. He couldn't expect Hu Rongcheng and others to pass on the news. Gao Que was not stupid, so how could he leave such a loophole.
The long whip was swung repeatedly, hitting Xu Hanliang with one blow. Xu Hanliang screamed loudly, but he was still strong at first, but after more than a dozen lashes, he began to cry out and beg for mercy.
How could a young master like him have ever experienced such torture? After more than thirty lashes, he shouted in a weak tone: "I am willing to take refuge in Songquan Villa..."
Gao Que called for a timeout, shook his head and said: "It's such a simple matter, wouldn't it be over as soon as Xu Shaoxia agreed at the beginning? Why bother if you have to be tough?
But you still have to suffer the punishment you deserve. Please forgive me, Mr. Xu, if I don’t do something with you, my father will definitely doubt your innocence when you return to Jianhua Palace. Gao also wants to protect you."
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Kang began to whip again, causing Xu Hanliang to faint several times from the pain. He made up his mind that if he had the chance in the future, he would cut Gao Que into pieces!
After finally surviving the whipping, Gao Que ordered Xu Hanliang to write down the secret book of Jianhua Palace silently, and also warned him not to cheat. If he was inconsistent with what Hu Rongcheng and Pan Hao wrote, he would be severely punished.
Xu Han's conscience was filled with hatred. The two old guys had indeed betrayed Jianhua Palace. In desperation, he had no choice but to write down the martial arts he knew silently.
This was not over yet. Later, Gao Que asked Xu Hanliang to kill the righteous person in custody. The person was from Zihua City and was the deacon of Zihua City.
After all this was done, Xu Han's conscience was as gray as ashes.
Zihua City is the top force on par with the Sanjiang Alliance, and he has betrayed Jianhua Palace. How can he resist with such a lever in the opponent's hands?
…
In the backyard of Songquan Villa, there is a wing that is heavily guarded. Villa masters are standing around and on the roof, waiting in full array. Under such an iron-barrel-like defense, not even a fly can fly in, let alone people.
If you want to enter, you must obtain a warrant from the Great Elder Yang Ting.
On the soft couch in the wing room, Wu Yuanyuan sat with a cold face, her eyes filled with anxiety and unwillingness.
Ever since she woke up, she has been controlled here. Three meals a day are delivered on time, and maids are always there to serve her.
But she was not allowed to step out of the room, and no one was allowed to enter. Since the incident, not even Sheng Kaiyuan has come in, as if she, the princess of the Sanjiang League, has been forgotten.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Wu Yuanyuan became.
She clearly remembered that she had severely wounded Sheng Wen with her passionate love. As a father, Sheng Kaiyuan showed no sign and never made any revenge on her.
This is by no means a sign of kindness from Shengkai Yuanxin. It can only mean that the other party tolerated not hurting her because he wanted to exchange her for something bigger!
Considering his own identity, who else could Sheng Kaiyuan turn to in exchange? Of course, it would be his father who was in charge of the southern martial arts world.
Thinking that the Sanjiang Alliance was being coerced and might even suffer huge losses because of her, Wu Yuanyuan bit her lips that made countless men salivate, hating her own carelessness.
But she had no choice. The other party's acupuncture method was unusual, and the acupuncture methods she had learned were useless, and she could not restore her skills.
…
The scarred Xu Hanliang was taken away.
The iron door where Zhuo Mufeng was imprisoned opened, and Zhang Kang personally detained a person, pushed him to the ground, and said: "Kill this person."
Zhuo Mufeng looked down and saw that the man also raised his head, revealing a familiar face. It turned out to be Hua Liushui from the Weidao League.
Zhuo Mufeng understood immediately. Although Gao Que knew his identity, he had to go through the motions in order to deal with others.
But the problem is, he is not a member of the demonic path at all, and he still wants to join the Sanjiang Alliance, how can he kill Hua Liushui?
Hua Liushui shouted in disbelief: "Dr. Zhuo, you, you betrayed the Defending Alliance and the alliance leader?"
Zhang Kang also stared at Zhuo Mufeng and threw a sword to him.
Zhuo Mufeng's mind was full of thoughts.
He must not kill people. Once he does, it will affect his plan to join the Sanjiang Alliance. If the news leaks out, it will cause a stain on his life. The Sanjiang Alliance will never let him go.
But if he didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to explain the situation in front of him.
Zhang Kang narrowed his eyes and urged: "Zhuo, why are you still standing there? Could it be that you were just deceiving Elder Gao when you said you wanted to take refuge?"
Zhuo Mufeng smiled and said: "How dare I deceive Elder Gao."
He walked towards Hua Liushui step by step. Hua Liushui cursed loudly. When the two sides were one step away from each other, Zhuo Mufeng stabbed him with his sword.
But in mid-air, Hua Liushui, who thought he was certain to die, suddenly discovered that the power of the sword in Zhuo Mufeng's hand increased sharply, like a flying giant flying off the line, as fast as lightning, it was lifted up diagonally, and a fleeting white light was wiped out.
Zhang Kang had no idea that Zhuo Mufeng's acupuncture points were unlocked and he could already use his internal strength. The distance was too close, and Zhuo Mufeng used all his strength to draw the sword. He suddenly felt a pain in his chest. Before he could scream, Zhuo Mufeng choked his neck.
.
There was a click, Zhang Kang's shout was stuck in his throat, and he fell to the ground and breathed his last.
