Chapter 276: Slow Slicing
Half a month later.
At the square at the foot of the mountain of the Xuantian Sect.
Countless human experts had gathered here.
On the square, two temporary execution racks had been set up.
After discussion among the higher-ups of the Xuantian Sect, it was decided that all traitors, including the two elders, would be executed by slow slicing.
After a period of short repairs, the Xuantian Sect finally had a trace of a sect.
It was just that the city at the foot of the mountain had been destroyed and was in ruins.
Many human warriors rushed over, and only a few houses that had not collapsed were filled with people.
“There are too many traitors, so we’ll first deal with the small shrimps. I heard that there’s still some time before it’s time to deal with those two elders,” The middle-aged scholar who had just gone up the mountain to inquire about the news returned and said.
“Then let’s wait a little longer! There’s nothing to see in dealing with the small shrimps.”
“Since we have nothing to do, why don’t we go and see how these traitors will regret before they die?”
“We’re here to have fun. Of course, we will have to watch it.”
…
Resentment!
Everyone had acc.u.mulated a huge amount of resentment in their hearts, and they wanted to release it here.
Who knew how many people had brought the blood and tears of their entire families here, wanting to find a place to confide in.
On the square, more figures silently appeared.
Following that, these figures stared at these execution racks without saying a word and waited.
The slow slicing began.
Not only were the people from the outside world of the Xuantian
Sect disciples, the traitors who were imprisoned were also pulled out.
They watched as the traitors were tortured to death.
The Xuantian Sect disciples and the people from the outside world felt comfortable and cheered.
In contrast, the traitors who were pulled out soon broke down and cried loudly.
Soon, three days pa.s.sed.
Seeing the time of death approaching day by day, many traitors could not stand the torture and committed suicide in the prison.
Those who did not dare to commit suicide could only watch the next day.
No one knew who would be chosen and sliced to death tomorrow?
It was as if there was a long sword hanging above their head. They could only watch helplessly, not knowing when it would come down to kill.
Inside the forbidden area of the Xuantian Sect.
After signing in for many days, Li Mu drank all the power pills that he had acc.u.mulated.
Boom.
A loud sound came from his body.
Li Mu made a spell gesture, and his vital essence quickly circulated.
The prenatal qi that had been acc.u.mulated in the forbidden area for many years crazily surged into Li Mu’s body.
His body kept changing during the breakthrough.
His gray hair quickly turned black.
The corners of his eyes were flattened.
His shriveled face was full.
After a while, Li Mu slowly opened his eyes.
“Fifth level of the Semi-G.o.d Realm!”
This time, it was much easier for him to face the four Semi-G.o.d Realm ancestors.
There was no need to set up traps.
After consolidating his cultivation, Li Mu walked out of the forbidden area.
“Deal with those traitors?”
Li Mu was also slightly interested.
“Slow slicing was being too easy on them. First, these traitors Tandens should be dug out and endure the torture in prison every day. After that, I will wait for them to be sentenced.”
A month later, Huang Baichuan and Elder Qin were tied to the slow slicing pillars.
In a month, they saw their former good friends and personal disciples being cut into pieces one by one.
He cursed and begged for death!
After everything was useless, he became numb.
As the blade fell, pieces of flesh left his body.
The two elders became human sticks.
Sizzle Sizzle.
A basin of strong wine followed by a large amount of salt was poured on the two human sticks.
“Ah!”
The two elders let out miserable cries at the same time.
“I thought these two elders were men! In the end, they are still a mortal.”
“Humph! It feels so good to watch them!”
“Let’s do it again!”
“Old man, you still know how to feel pain.”
…
Wild cries rang out.
After a long while, they seemed to have become numb.
The two elders stopped shouting and were dragged out of the salt pond by the disciples of the Xuantian Sect.
At this moment, the two traitor elders could no longer be seen as they were before.
“Bring the two elders back. Don’t let them die so easily. Feed them some medicinal soup and continue with the slow slicing tomorrow,” the new law-enforcing elder instructed.
Hiss.
After he finished instructing, gasps were heard.
This was to make sure that the two elders die a horrible death!
“Good! Well done!”
Those who quickly reacted shouted.
“We can’t let such traitors die so easily.”
“If they were to die so easily, I won’t be able to rest in peace!”
…
This time, when Demon Clans attacked the Xuantian Sect, many humans who lived around the Xuantian Sect suffered as well.
The Demon Clans of Mount Eternal died, but the resentment on their bodies was still there.
Everything was caused by these traitors.
If it weren’t for these traitors, the Xuantian Sect would be able to react in time when they attacked the Demon Clans on Mount Eternal.
If it weren’t for them, the Xuantian Sect would have long blocked the demons on Mount Eternal.
They were to blame for everything.
“Well done!”
Whistles and cheers sounded.
Tears appeared at the edge of the two elders’ eyes.
Weak sobs came from their nostrils.
The surrounding disciples of the Xuantian Sect frowned and spat in disgust.
South Continent.
In the underground Well of Prenatal Qi of the Xia Kingdom’s imperial palace.
Liu An had spent a lot of resources and under his guidance, Liu Wei’s cultivation had finally broken through.
“Eldest sister is only at the third level of the Virtual Realm with only the strength to flee. It’s still very difficult to protect yourself.”
Liu An shook his head.
His elder sister’s natural talent was inferior to his, to begin with.
Later on, her cultivation was delayed, and it was only after Eunuch Li’s many secret guidance that she was enlightened.
“There’s no need for you to remind me! I’m already at the third level of the Virtual Realm, and it’s time for me to leave. If you’re unwilling to leave, you can stay here. I’ll go and find Eunuch Li myself.”
Liu Wei rolled her eyes, withdrew her cultivation, and jumped out of the Well of Prenatal Qi.
“Big sister, it’s better to consolidate it,” Liu An pursed his lips.
He thought to himself, “You’ve already gone out. If I don’t, I would be a fool. Moreover, I won’t be at ease to let you go out like a fool!”
“There’s no need. I can consolidate it on the way. Have you prepared the things that I told you to?”
Liu Wei looked like a capable queen and she did not allow Liu An to refute her.
“Everything is ready!”
“Then let’s get ready to set off!”
“Big sister, I’ll go and inform Ninth Imperial Uncle and Senior Xu Xiao. You can wait on Mount Yan and consolidate your cultivation along the way.”
“I told you there’s no need,” Liu Wei said angrily.
She did not want to stay here for even a moment.
Or rather, ever since she knew what the outside world looked like and knew that Li Mu had gone out, Liu Wei’s heart had drifted outside.
“Alright!”
Liu Wei insisted, and Liu An had no way out.
After notifying Liu Yu, Old Demon Han, Chu Qing, Liu Huaiting, and the others quickly gathered.
The Xu Family also packed up their luggage during this period and brought less than 2,000 members of their own family to the West Continent’s border.
“Senior Xu, you only have this amount of people in your family?” Tingting asked curiously.
Xu Xiao smiled and understood what Tingting was asking.
He immediately explained, “Not really. It’s useless to bring too many people when you go out to scout. After gaining a foothold, I will come back and pick up the others. If I can’t establish a foothold, then only two thousand of us will be lost. It won’t have much of an impact on the Xu Family.”
When everyone was present, they rechecked.
Xu Xiao took out a map and said, “In the enchantment, the West Continent Desolated Desert is the weakest. If we go out, it’s best to go this way. After we are out, we’ll follow the edge of the desert to the north, which is the sea area. There’s a prenatal qi replenis.h.i.+ng area by the sea. If we get separated, remember to go north and then head west.”
“Got it, senior!”
Everyone nodded, then carried their bags and stepped into the desert.
Two days later, they were deep in the center of the desert.
Half a month later, their bodies were covered in sand, turning yellow, as if they had become a part of the desert.
Another month pa.s.sed.
Some of the Xu Family’s people had run out of vital essence and food.
Liu An held Liu Wei and walked forward step by step.
Just two days ago, Liu Wei ran out of vital essence while resisting the wind and sand.
