Chapter 586: Captured Alive (2)
The decoration of the cave was simple. All around it were sand and gravel condensed by magic, forming thousands of feet of rock layers. The rocks were gray and bare, and under the illumination of dozens of large braziers, they reflected the faint light of rising cold air.
Nearly a thousand bronze stakes with countless faces of ghosts and gods carved on them were stuck on the ground. Led by Bai Xuanyue, nearly a hundred members of the Bai clan and hundreds of disciples of the Jianmen were stripped down to only the last bit of dignity. Their vital parts were pierced by thin bronze chains and they were tightly imprisoned on the bronze stakes.
These bronze stakes and chains were shining with a faint light, constantly devouring the magic power and blood essence of Bai Xuanyue and others.
They were already seriously injured, but with their strong foundation, their bodies healed themselves, constantly breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and regenerating a little bit of magic power. However, as soon as these magic powers were generated, they were sucked away, and everyone was limp, like ordinary people, unable to resist.
This set of bronze stakes had an extraordinary origin. It was a set of spiritual treasure-level torture instruments that Lu Yi obtained from the secret storehouse of the Hades after he broke through the gate of the Hades Mountain. This thing was used by the Hades to punish disciples who violated the rules. It was cruel and vicious, and extremely evil. Even if a top-level half-step celestial being was imprisoned, it would be difficult to escape, not to mention Bai Xuanyue and others who were seriously injured.
In addition to this set of bronze stakes, there are various torture instruments displayed around.
From the most common branding irons and iron whips in the mundane world to the lesser-known skin-splitting blades, soul-breaking black cones, bone-crushing wheels, tendon-destroying pipa, etc. in the cultivation world, each instrument of torture, under the light of the brazier, all shone with a bloody light, which made people feel nervous at the sight of it.
Lu Yi returned to his original appearance, with his long hair casually draped behind his head, bare-chested, wearing an apricot-yellow monk's robe on his upper body, and a pair of bright red jacquard brocade trousers with gold sprinkled on the lower body. He was barefoot and wore a pair of wooden clogs. He was dressed in a strange and bizarre way, which, combined with his 16-foot-tall burly body, gave people a great psychological deterrent effect for some reason.
In his left hand, he was playing with a string of Buddhist beads made of white bone relics. The beads slid smoothly from his fingertips and collided with each other, making a crisp "ding ding" sound. Every time they collided, a cloud of smoke rose from the beads, and a strange chanting sound could be heard quietly. The sound was evil and the words were blasphemous and vicious, which made people feel upset and unstable, and they even had the sign of flying out of their bodies.
Bai Xuanyue and several of the Bai clan members with the highest levels of cultivation woke up at the same time.
Before they could figure out where they were and what had happened, buckets of ice water were poured over them. The ice water was mixed with fist-sized ice cubes, and the evil chill in it was intensified by magic. Bai Xuanyue and the others were already seriously injured, and all their magic power was sucked away. They were extremely weak. The ice water sprayed over them, and they shivered violently. Several of them sneezed loudly, tears and snot flying everywhere. It was extremely undignified.
"Who? Who? Who?" Bai Xuanyue roared angrily.
"Ahem, Master Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look a little disheveled today." Lu Yi said faintly, "But after all, you are from a noble family. You have such delicate skin and tender flesh, and you are even more beautiful than other girls!"
Bai Xuanyue shook his head in embarrassment, enduring the biting coldness on his body, and stared at Lu Yi who was sitting more than ten feet away, facing him: "Is it... you... the leader of the Immortal Sect, Lu Yi?"
Lu Yi nodded and said with a smile: "I wonder what Master Bai thinks of meeting in this kind of occasion?"
Bai Xuanyue shuddered, and he looked around hastily, his face instantly turning pale. His eyes widened, and his pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip. Goose bumps appeared all over his body, and a layer of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead. In an instant, the cold air in the ice water, which was enhanced by the spell, was frozen into a dense layer of ice beads hanging on his face.
Several members of the Bai clan also shut up. They were all smart people.
Bai Xuanyue was silent for a long time before he said quietly, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Yu looked Bai Xuanyue up and down, pondered for a while, and then shook his head: "I don't know for now... I just asked them to take the treasures from you, but I didn't expect them to bring you back as well."
"In fact, you are of no use to me." Lu Yi said sincerely: "But since we are here, it seems that not following the general process would be disrespectful to you, me, and my overly diligent brothers."
"How about we follow the normal procedure and go through the ten tortures, the levels of life and death barriers, etc. first?"
Lu Yi said to Bai Xuanyue kindly, "It doesn't matter if you give it a try. I have top experts in this field by my side. Every punishment I use can be guaranteed to exert its most powerful effect, allowing you to enjoy the most extreme pain."
"I guess, as the direct descendant of the Bai family's main branch, you have been spoiled since childhood, clothed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, and have never suffered such hardships... If you have not experienced hardships, your life will not be complete. I suggest that you make up for this lesson!"
A young man in green clothes and a small hat, with a fair complexion, a small nose, small eyes, a small mouth and small ears, and a bright smile, but with his facial features, he gave people an inexplicably eerie and strange feeling. He took soft and small steps and leisurely came out from behind Lu Yi's huge throne.
"Sir, shall I start first? " The young man bowed respectfully to Lu Yi.
This young man, named Yu Xinghua, is Yu Changle's godson and the manager of the Jiuquyuan Criminal Office in Haojing, Dayin. He is an expert in punishment and is one of the best in the entire Dayin in terms of the means of torturing people.
As a eunuch, his mind is a little twisted. Especially for eunuchs who have been in the torture chamber for a long time, you can imagine how twisted their minds are. Any criminal who falls into his hands will eventually be torn into pieces, like apricot blossoms and spring rain, falling to the ground.
So, this little eunuch was not originally called Yu Xinghua... because he always made debris all over the floor that looked like apricot petals, so he got this name.
"Well, pick someone to serve as an example for our Bai Zhangjiao." Lu Yi crossed his legs, took the wine cup handed to him by Yu Dianhu , and slowly took a sip of the old medicinal wine soaked with vanilla, which was the best way to dispel the smell of blood.
"Master Jun?" Bai Xuanyue was the head of Jianmen after all, and he keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the way Yu Xinghua addressed Lu Yi.
Now that he had fallen into Lu Yi's hands, the people around him could call him 'Leader' or even 'Lord'...but Bai Xuanyue seemed to have only heard of the title 'Lord' in certain secular dynasties.
In some secular dynasties of Yuan Lingtian, there is a title of "king" below the title of "prince".
"Master Bai is indeed smart, clever and cute, haha." Lu Yu smiled and nodded to Bai Xuanyue: "I am Lu Yu, and I have a small title, Lord Weiyang. Well, it's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning... If you think about it carefully, the territory of my title is probably the size of a county town in the Yuanlingtian Dynasty."
Lu Yi recalled the territory that Dayin had granted to his family. Yes, that territory was roughly the same size as the territory controlled by an inconspicuous county in any random immortal dynasty in Yuanlingtian.
His Lord Wei Yang, if placed in Jishengtian Dayin, would be a local lord and an important official in the imperial court.
In Yuanlingtian, he is just a county magistrate!
Bai Xuanyue scolded coldly: "Who are you?"
Several other awakened members of the Bai clan also came to their senses. There was something wrong with Lu Yi’s identity. This meant that the Changsheng Sect also had a big problem!
'Jun'?
The princes of the secular dynasty?
Yuan Lingtian, which secular dynasty has such strength to allow a mere prince to become the leader of such a behemoth as the Changsheng Sect?
Lu Yi did not answer Bai Xuanyue's question.
Yu Xinghua has already started taking action.
He did not torture them immediately, but instead brought a group of assistants, lit special incense, and woke up the unconscious disciples of Jianmen and members of the Bai clan one by one.
When these people woke up, Yu Xinghua took out a large amount of pills that could replenish their essence and blood and restore their vitality, and fed them to them one by one.
When the pills took effect, everyone's face regained a hint of color. Yu Xinghua then led people to scoop out a large amount of sticky medicine from a huge bronze tripod nearby and fed it to the captives one by one.
Some Jianmen disciples were shocked and realized that this was definitely not a good thing. They gritted their teeth and refused to drink the medicine. Yu Xinghua didn't say anything and directly cut the tendons near their jaw joints with a dagger, making it impossible for them to bite hard. With a shrill howl, he forced the medicine into their stomachs.
The jaw tendons were cut, and these Jianmen disciples let out earth-shattering howls.
Bai Xuanyue and others once again broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads.
"Oh, Xinghua said that this decoction was a good thing he developed on his own. It was originally only effective for ordinary people, but later it was used with some magical herbs and medicines from the cultivation world, and it is now also very effective for cultivators."
"In fact, this decoction is quite elegant... If it is used in the boudoir, when the ears are rubbed and the red waves are turned , it can make the senses of both parties a hundred times more sensitive, and increase the wonderfulness a hundred times out of thin air."
"But it is also very useful in the torture chamber. Your perception, all your senses of touch, pain, smell, tingling, numbness, etc., will all increase a hundredfold!"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "When you are being punished, a small wound will give you the feeling that you were chopped by a big knife... You need to understand the beauty of it carefully."
A member of the Bai clan, Bai Xuanyue's nephew Bai Hanxing screamed, "How dare you... Do you know what you are doing? Let us go immediately, or else when the wrath of the Sword Sect's Grand Ancestor descends, you will all die!"
Lu Yi smiled and said nothing.
Yu Xinghua looked surprised.
"It's this little guy... Oh, he's so energetic, I believe he can last a while longer." Yu Xinghua came to Bai Hanxing happily and patted Bai Hanxing's belly hard.
"Little guy, you don't maintain your figure well!"
Yu Xinghua grumbled in disdain: "Not to mention the well-defined abdominal muscles, there's not even a waistline... This bulging little belly, ah, how many delicacies are filled with it?"
"Come on, today I, your father-in-law, will help you lose some grease! No need to thank me, it's my duty!"
The next moment, Bai Hanxing's screams rose to the sky.
