In front of the huge high platform, a monk from Jiufeng Mountain stood with a thunder cord in his hand. The thunder continued to strike down, but he only raised the thunder cord but did not swing it out.
“Zhuang Ze, do you know your guilt?”
The questioning voice did not sound very loud, but it spread throughout the Jiufeng Mountain. In Aze’s ears, it drowned out the sound of thunder, making him almost deaf.
Aze was hung between the two pillars in tattered clothes. He looked down at the Jiufeng Mountain monk below. Then he struggled to raise his strength and looked around the cliff mountain and the sky. Each Jiufeng Mountain monk was far or near. , all looked at him, but could not find Sister Jinxiu.
“Zhuang Ze, let me ask you again, do you know your guilt?”
Aze was in pain. He neither had the strength nor the desire to answer the monk’s questions below, so he just closed his eyes again.
Aze did not expect that when he returned to Jiufeng Mountain, he would face only one punishment, death. There was only this one, there was no second option, and even Sister Jinxiu could not see it.
Actually, death is not the only solution. According to the rules of Jiufeng Mountain, Aze’s rebellion will require him to withstand three strikes from the Thunderbolt, and he will be removed from Jiufeng Mountain from then on.
The Immortal Sect has its own rules, and some of the principles involved will not change for thousands of years. It may seem a bit stubborn, but it is also because it touches on the most intolerable aspects of the sect’s Immortal Way.
From the perspective of Jiufeng Mountain, they have been extremely benevolent to Aze and tried every means to help him. However, many monks who are optimistic about Aze are now disappointed. In Aze’s view, Jiufeng Mountain’s kindness is hypocrisy. I don’t trust them deep down.
No matter what is right or wrong, the fact is a foregone conclusion. Even if Ji Yuan is here in person, Jiu Feng Mountain will never give in to Ji Yuan in this regard, unless Ji Yuan really does not hesitate to break with Jiu Feng Mountain and use force. Also try to take Azer away.
But there are no what-ifs for Aze at this moment, he no longer cares, because he can’t bear a whip from Leisuo, because in essence, he has not practiced seriously for a long time, let alone someone holding Leisuo. The look in his eyes was like looking at a demon.
In Aze’s view, many people in Jiufeng Mountain, or most people, already believe that his addiction to the devil is irreversible, or have determined that he has become a devil, and do not want to let him leave and cause harm to the world.
“Zhuang Ze, do you know your sin? Are you really a demon?”
At the moment when the person below asked again, Aze’s eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. The look in his eyes was so terrifying that the people below who were preparing for execution trembled in their hearts.
Why, why, why, why…
Why do you think I am a demon? Why are you calling me this? No, they must have been calling each other privately for many years, but they have never said it in front of me. It’s just that not many people have come to Yashan…
At this moment, Aze’s spiritual thoughts seemed to explode on the cliff mountain. Although there was no demonic energy, it was a pure and exaggerated demonic thought that was breathtaking and terrifying.
“I – not a devil -“
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
Aze’s roar seemed to overwhelm the thunder, and even caused the golden rope on the execution platform to tremble continuously. The sound echoed throughout the Jiufeng Mountain, like a ghost crying, a wolf howling, or a beast roaring…
At this moment, many experts in Jiufeng Mountain who cared or didn’t care about Aze all turned their attention to Yashan, but the headmaster Zhao Yu slowly closed his eyes and turned around to leave.
On the cliff mountain, the monk finally came to his senses, swung the thunder cord in his hand, and hit Aze on the execution platform.
“Pa…”
“Rumble…”
The thunder from the sky also fell at the same time, hitting Aze who was locked on the execution platform.
“Ah——”
Aze couldn’t feel how much he was injured, but the pain, the unparalleled pain, was something he had never imagined. It was a pain that eroded all levels of perception from mind to body. This pain was still To go beyond the level of the underworld whipping ghosts, even when his body seemed to be crushed and crushed, Aze seemed to feel the moment of his family’s death again.
“Demon——”
“Pa…”
“Rumble…”
Thunderbolt fell again, and thunder struck down again. This time, no screams were heard.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The entire execution platform was constantly shaking, or the entire suspended cliff mountain was shaking constantly. The birds and animals in the mountain, which were already very uneasy, seemed to have no regard for the terror of the wind and thunder weather, and they rushed out from all over the mountain. Just fly away in fear.
“Torture——”
“Afraid of…”
“Ka…boom boom boom…ka…boom boom…”
Thunders continued to strike down, and the entire execution platform was shrouded in terrifying lightning…
Lu Min and his friends all looked in the direction filled with thunder in horror. The former slowly turned his head to look at the monk beside him, only to find that the other person also had an expression of disbelief.
“Fellow Taoist, is this really just torture for an entry-level disciple who has made a big mistake?”
The monk next to Lu Min was silent for a long time, not knowing how to answer Lu Min’s question.
The thunder light lasted for more than ten breaths before dimming. The entire copper pillar of the execution platform looked slightly red, and Aze, who was hung by two golden ropes, no longer knew whether to live or die.
But the arm of the monk holding the thunder cord was trembling slightly. As an immortal cultivator, his breathing was a little messy at the moment, and his eyes looked at the person hanging on the golden cord in disbelief.
“This evil, this evil… is not dead… he is not dead… Phew…”
The execution monk let out a long breath, clutched Leisuo tightly, and after a long time slowly uttered a sentence.
“Three whips have passed… let’s wait and see…”
After saying that, the execution monk slowly turned around and left in a mountain breeze. However, most of the Jiufeng Mountain monks who were watching the execution did not disperse. Those who were still inexperienced even showed some panic at a loss. .
The execution monk flew halfway, turned around and spoke to Yashan.
“It’s all gone! Go back to practice.”
After these words came out, a group of monks from Jiufeng Mountain left one after another. Only Aze, who was hanging in the air by the execution platform and as angry as a thread, was left on the entire Yashan Mountain. There were already a mountain full of frightened birds and animals.
The birds and beasts all over the mountain were not frightened by the thunder. Throughout the cliff, the birds were abandoning their nests and fleeing, flying far away from the cliff. All the animals were running towards the edge of the cliff, and some were lingering uneasily on the edge of the cliff. .
“Aze——”
Jin Xiu shouted in her quiet room. She had just heard the thunder and even faintly heard Aze’s screams. However, her master had cast a spell on the quiet room and she could not get out at all.
“Master! Master, please let me out——”
A monk from Jiufeng Mountain who was sitting cross-legged in the front pavilion opened his eyes, glanced in the direction of his disciple’s quiet room, shook his head and closed it again, then looked at Aze’s terrifying demon just now. I’m afraid there will be no reason to keep him in Jiufeng Mountain anymore.
What no one expected was that Aze, who was hanging on the execution platform at this moment, did not completely lose consciousness. Although it was very blurry, his consciousness was still there.
“Hoo…ho uh…ho…”
Every breath was extremely painful, even a thought was so painful. Aze couldn’t open his eyes and felt as if he was blind and deaf, but he could still feel the fear of the animals in the mountains.
‘Why am I not dead yet…’
Not long after this idea arose, a small spot of light slowly floated out from Aze’s torn clothes and slowly turned into a picture.
This picture scroll is very damaged, covered with scorch marks, and the light on it flickers on and off, dissipating along with some burnt ash debris, until the wind blows away the light, and the picture scroll seems to be full of It is a broken and scorched drawing paper. It is blown away by the wind on the cliff mountain, and it is unknown where it will float.
Although Aze couldn’t see it, he surprisingly knew what was happening in front of him.
‘No, don’t go, no… Mr. Ji, I’m not a devil, look for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan． comI am not, sir, don’t go…’
Aze couldn’t speak or move, couldn’t see or hear, but he roared in his heart!
……
Jin Xiu was finally released, but it was already the third day after Aze was sentenced, but she couldn’t be happy, not only because of Aze’s situation, but because she vaguely understood that the sect should be Aze will not be kept.
Jin Xiu was allowed to see Aze once, but only once. She could decide when she wanted to, and no one would bother them. It was a very tender thing, but behind the scenes it was also a very cruel thing.
Jin Xiu didn’t know how to see Aze, let alone did not dare to see him, but she knew how insignificant she was, and it was impossible for the sect to be diverted by her own will, and it was impossible for her to keep dragging her away. She wanted to go there Looking for Mr. Ji. How to find the mysterious Mr. Ji? How many months will it take to find him? several years? Or decades? She wanted to find Agu and the others, but she couldn’t bear to let Aze and Agu see them for the last time.
So Jin Xiu could only prepare well and do what she could do. On this day, she left Jiufeng Cave and came to Ruan Shandu. There were some things here that were not found in Jiufeng Mountain.
Tanghulu, little sugar figures, Yangchun noodles, beggar’s chicken…
Many of them are the things that Jin Xiu and Aze agreed to go out to eat together. Of course, there are also clean and tidy clothes, both hers and Aze’s.
Although he was shopping, Jin Xiu felt a little numb, and the bustle and laughter of Ruan Shandu seemed so far away.
“Girl…girl!”
Someone waved their hand in front of Jin Xiu. Her eyes regained focus and looked forward, and she responded blankly.
“Huh?”
A woman with a gentle and elegant look stood in front of Jin Xiu.
“Girl, I see that you are in a state of disbelief. You must be in trouble. Do disciples of Jiufeng Mountain who practice deep in the Holy Land also have troubles?”
