Chapter 741: Descending Upon The Execution Area
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jiang Jingtao looked at Chen Wuhui and kept laughing coldly. His eyes were full of mockery. Old b*st*rd Chen, who knew that you would one day end up like this. Weren’t you a tough old thing back then?
“Laughable! All the sects in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension combined and you still can’t find Mo Wen. How would a poor old guy like me know about his whereabouts?” Chen Wuhui snorted coldly.
“Old b*st*rd Chen, don’t think that I do not know. Mo Wen is not from the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. He only appeared here because of your Intentionless Sect. In the end, he stirred up a storm and committed heinous crimes. Setting aside the fact that you have involved the entire Intentionless Sect, you are still unrepentant. You would rather die than reveal Mo Wen’s whereabouts. It seems that in your eyes, the entire Intentionless Sect is not as important as Mo Wen. It truly is disappointing. The members of the Intentionless Sect dedicated themselves to your Chen Clan to forge a path for themselves, and instead, you treat them like this.”
Jiang Jingtao sighed as he looked at the group of Intentionless Sect disciples on the execution stage. “Look, your sect leader has given up on all of you for a little b*st*rd,” he said. “Some of you have been loyal to the Intentionless Sect for decades. Some have even been members of the Intentionless Sect for generations. In the end, this is how you end up. I truly feel sorry for you.”
On top of the stone pillars were all the Intentionless Sect elders. Upon hearing what Jiang Jingtao had to say, quite a few people sighed. In the past few days, Jiang Jingtao had constantly provoked a downturn in the relationship between Intentionless Sect’s ordinary disciples and the upper echelons. Under the threat of death, many Intentionless Sect disciples were already at odds with their leaders and some even had intentions of betraying the sect.
Chen Wuhui’s lips moved and he finally let out a soft sigh. He did not say anything else. He did not know Mo Wen’s whereabouts, but, even if he did, he absolutely would not reveal them. Mo Wen had saved the Intentionless Sect once. This time, it should be considered as the Intentionless Sect paying their debts. Chen Wuhui slowly closed his eyes.
“Chen Wuhui, you old b*st*rd. Why do you protect Mo Wen so much? Did you think that Mo Wen would take pity on you? Right now, news regarding the Intentionless Sect has already spread to the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. We have said that as long as Mo Wen showed himself, we would release your Intentionless Sect. He clearly knows that you have ended up like this, but he has hidden himself and has not appeared, watching as your Intentionless Sect heads towards annihilation. Yet, you actually protect such a cold-blooded, unfeeling person. Honestly, as a person of the same generation, I truly feel sad for you. Have you become Mo Wen’s dog? Is that why you are so loyal to him and won’t hesitate to ruin the entire Intentionless Sect? Mo Wen will not pity you. Will you sacrifice the entire sect for such a selfish b*stard? What does this show? It shows that not only are you foolish, you are also selfish, cold-blooded and unfeeling.” Jiang Jingtao looked at the time. Noon had not yet arrived, so he continued to coldly laugh and provoke Chen Wuhui.
Around the execution stage, aside from the Weapon Forging Sect ancient martial art practitioners maintaining order, there were many citizens from the Intentionless City. They all gathered around the area and watched the proceedings. The group surrounded the execution stage and pointed at the Intentionless Sect members in a frantic discussion.
Jiang Jingtao was in charge of the punishments dealt out to the members of the Intentionless Sect. For every day that Mo Wen did not appear, he would kill a group of Intentionless Sect members. In order to humiliate the Intentionless Sect members, he allowed anyone to approach the execution area and watch.
The Intentionless Sect had been Intentionless City’s main faction before this. When such a huge incident happened, it was enough to draw the attention of others. Every day at punishment time, a large number of citizens would gather around the execution area.
“Who is this Mo Wen? He has caused such a disturbance. Rumor has it that a few seniors from the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Five Beasts Sect have arrived. It is difficult to imagine what huge incident has happened.”
“The entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension is riled up for this youth called Mo Wen. At least in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, his name will go down in history.”
“Mo Wen truly is cold-blooded and unfeeling. The entire Intentionless Sect is involved because of him. He is a shirking tortoise, hiding away and not willing to come out. He has sinned greatly. Yesterday, even my five-year-old said that Mo Wen is not a man.”
“Let’s not talk about it anymore. It’s too tragic. Do you know the Intentionless Sect inner-sect disciple Wang Ping that was executed yesterday? His house is right next to mine. I heard that his family did not even get his corpse back. His wife could not take it and killed herself by ramming her head into a post. Such a nice family has been suddenly torn apart. Mo Wen has truly committed a grave sin.”
“I really don’t understand why the upper echelons of the Intentionless Sect are protecting that heartless brat. They would rather see such tragedies occur than reveal information about Mo Wen. As expected, the sect’s upper echelons do not care at all about the disciples at the very bottom.”
“Let’s not talk about it anymore. There must be some reason behind them doing so. Even the Intentionless Sect leader hasn’t had it easy. Even his family has been imprisoned on the stone pillars for all to see. You all know how Sect Leader Chen is. None of the citizens in Intentionless City have ever had a bad thing to say about him. They only have good things to say. Three generations of his clan have all become prisoners, and he has not revealed a word of information. He has even abandoned his own family, let alone these sect disciples.”
“That is true. The Intentionless Sect is indeed tragic. However, the sect leader even laid down his life for justice. The disciples of the Intentionless Sect can’t say much. Since they joined the Intentionless Sect, they share good times and bad times. I once wanted to join the Intentionless Sect, but I was unqualified. The disciples of the Intentionless Sect should not be rushing towards the sect in good times and wanting to break off all ties with the sect when things go wrong, right?”
Around the execution stage, discussions broke out. People were saying all sorts of things.
“No, I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die an obscure death for someone I have never even seen before.” On the execution stage, a youth struggled to get up. His eyes were crimson as he shouted loudly. “Since the sect leader doesn’t want to save us because of that person and watches as we are killed, why should I loyally defend the Intentionless Sect? I want to leave the Intentionless Sect, leave this heartless sect. Sect Leader Jiang, I am willing to join the Weapon Forging Sect and serve humbly. Please take me in.”
“Traitor, you have disgraced the Intentionless Sect. The members of the Intentionless Sect can be killed and humiliated, but we are not cowards.” Next to the youth, another youth was kneeling. However, this youth only coldly snorted. His eyes were full of disdain. The Intentionless Sect was a whole. Even the sect leader and the elders were willing to face humiliation. Is your life more valuable than theirs?
What’s more, any intelligent person could tell that them saying that they would let everyone go if the Intentionless Sect revealed Mo Wen’s whereabouts was a joke. This Weapon Forging Sect sect leader’s gaze revealed that he couldn’t wait to kill all the members of the Intentionless Sect.
“Humph! Beat him up.” Jiang Jingtao did not even glance at the person as he coldly gave the order.
The few Weapon Forging Sect ancient martial art practitioners guarding the youth immediately swarmed up onto the stage. Punches and kicks were sent flying rather viciously.
“It is useless for you to betray the sect as your lives are worthless. Compared to Mo Wen’s whereabouts, even ten Intentionless Sect members would be not worth mentioning. Don’t think that you can be saved if you betray the Intentionless Sect. There is only one way for you to live, and that is to ask your sect leader to surrender Mo Wen’s whereabouts. Only by surrendering Mo Wen’s whereabouts can all of you live”
The few Weapon Forging Sect ancient martial art practitioners beat up the traitorous ancient martial art practitioner until he was half dead. Even if he did not die, he was on his last breath. If they did not need to execute him later, they might have just beaten him to death. The people around him drew cold breaths. No one else dared to mention betraying the sect.
“Old b*st*rd Chen, do you see? Your own disciples are already dissatisfied with you. As a sect leader, I feel ashamed for you. You can just watch as I kill a group of Intentionless Sect members every day until your entire Intentionless Sect is killed off. Then, I will send you to your grave,” Jiang Jingtao said as he kept laughing coldly.
Chen Wuhui looked at Jiang Jingtao with crimson eyes. After a long while, he sighed softly and slowly lowered his head. His entire person seemed to have instantly aged by a few decades. He seemed to have turned frail in an instant.
“Old mongrel Jiang, that’s enough from you! If you want to kill us, then do so. Stop farting around.” On top of the stone pillars, a scream sounded. Among the prisoners on the stone pillars, there was only one woman. It was none other than Chen Zi, Chen Wuhui’s granddaughter. Originally, with Chen Zi’s cultivation, she was not qualified to be imprisoned on the stone pillars for all to see. But as she was Chen Wuhui’s granddaughter and the Chen Clan’s sole heir, her identity was not lower than that of an ordinary elder.
“You are called Chen Zi, right? You are old b*st*rd Chen’s granddaughter. Your cultivation is not high, but you are quite beautiful. Right now, you feel tough, do you? That’s good. Very good. Don’t worry. After I kill the others, it will soon be your turn. I will arrange for some able-bodied people to especially ‘serve’ you. I’ll make your life a living hell.” Jiang Jingtao glanced at some of the strong youths of the Weapon Forging Sect and laughed in a debauched way.
“Old mongrel Jiang, you old b*st*rd. And to think you were a leader of a sect! You dare to utter such shameless words like the beast you are. What are you so proud of? Why should you be proud? Our Intentionless Sect has never lowered its head. No matter how you spin your words, they are but a joke. Since I have ended up in your hands, I do not hope to continue living. Use whatever methods you have. This little missy does not know the word fear. Also, you better remember this: Mo Wen is not a heartless person who is afraid to die. Everything that you do to the Intentionless Sect will sooner or later be settled with you, a hundred and a thousand times over!” As she said this, tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Suddenly, the air around the execution area became cold, as though winter had descended. Terrifying Cold Qi swept through the space. Snow fell from the sky. In an instant, the ground, roofs, foliage, and people were all covered in a layer of ice crystals.
A sinister voice sounded, instantly enveloping the entire execution area. “You don’t have to wait: I will settle the score with him right now.”
