323: Cao Qingyang died, Xu Nian recovered!

Cao Qingyang's eyes were wide and bloodshot, staring fixedly at Situ Haowen with unwillingness and fury.

This General Tower Manager of his East Tower, who had no past grievances with him and to whom he had even given gifts, had unexpectedly jumped out at this moment to openly frame him.

Cao Qingyang's heart was filled with extreme anger, and he could only look towards his Revered Master.

That was Vice-Tower Revered Master Zhuge Jinguang.

At this moment, Zhu Yun Great Emperor also looked at Zhuge Jinguang and asked, "Jinguang, what about you? Did you see this Disciple of yours hand over the evidence to this Tower Revered Master?"

Zhu Yun Great Emperor and Cao Qingyang's eyes were both fixed on Zhuge Jinguang.

Cao Qingyang's eyes were full of expectation, placing his last remaining hope on his Revered Master.

He was his Revered Master's only Disciple, and he believed his Revered Master would definitely save him.

However, the next scene directly plunged Cao Qingyang's life into its darkest hour, leaving him utterly and completely despairing.

"Replying to Tower Revered Master, I… I didn't see it."

Zhuge Jinguang also chose to ignore him.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to save him, but that he couldn't.

This Disciple of his still couldn't clearly see the situation.

Evidence or no evidence, at this point, it was completely irrelevant.

In the face of absolute status and strength, if Zhu Yun Great Emperor said it was black, and they dared to say it was white, then even he, the Vice-Tower Revered Master, would not be able to escape today.

At this moment, Cao Qingyang's entire body went completely limp.

His sycophants beside him also knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably from fear, each of them terrified to the extreme.

"Revered Master…"

Cao Qingyang's despairing face opened his mouth, but after only saying the two words "Revered Master," there was nothing more.

He couldn't speak, or perhaps he was completely heartbroken and no longer knew what to say.

He felt as if he had fallen into a wolf's den, that he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and no matter what he explained, it would only be a joke in the eyes of these people.

"Hmph!"

"Cao Qingyang, did you hear that!"

"To play games with this Tower Revered Master, your crime is now compounded!"

"Haowen, according to the rules of the Tower, execute this traitor on the spot!" Zhu Yun Great Emperor ordered with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Tower Revered Master!"

Situ Haowen stepped forward and immediately accepted the command.

He looked at Cao Qingyang, who was slumped on the ground, slowly raised his hand, and just as he was about to make a move...

"Wait!!"

At this moment, Chu Yun, sitting in his seat, suddenly spoke.

"Chu Emperor, is there still something amiss?" Zhu Yun Great Emperor immediately looked at Chu Yun and asked.

"He tortured Brother Xu so much; wouldn't it be too easy for him to just die like this?"

"Tower Revered Master Zhu, this Emperor does not ask him to repay a thousandfold, but at least he should experience all the torment Brother Xu endured before he dies. It's not too late then," Chu Yun said with a cold and indifferent expression.

He had come to stand up for Xu Nian this time, and seeing Xu Nian suffer such torment, he naturally couldn't let Cao Qingyang off so easily.

To let Cao Qingyang suffer the same torment before dying was already him being greatly benevolent, considering Yan Yu Great Emperor's face, so as not to make things too difficult for Zhu Yun.

"Good."

"I agree with Chu Emperor's words."

"Haowen, do as he says."

After Zhu Yun Great Emperor agreed, he looked at Situ Haowen and said.

"Chu Emperor!!"

"I implore Chu Emperor, in your great magnanimity, please let Qingyang die peacefully."

As Cao Qingyang's Revered Master, he finally couldn't bear it anymore at this moment.

To watch his Disciple suffer torment, he was also a person with emotions; he couldn't do it.

Therefore, this 師徒情誼, which had reached its end, finally drove him to stand up from within his heart.

Chu Yun glanced at him indifferently, not bothering to respond, and turned his head to Zhu Yun Great Emperor: "Tower Revered Master Zhu, what are you waiting for?"

"Act!" Zhu Yun Great Emperor immediately ordered loudly.

"Ah!!!!"

"You… Ah!!!!"

"You will all… not die a good Death… Ah!!!"

As soon as Zhu Yun Great Emperor's voice fell, Situ Haowen immediately acted.

His power left countless bloody gashes on Cao Qingyang and their Physical Bodies, directly causing their Physical Bodies to be torn open and bleeding profusely.

Immediately after, he cast a spell to implant maggots into their wounds, letting the worms bite, causing them unbearable pain, as Cao Qingyang and the others wailed continuously, roaring and screaming heartbreakingly.

Situ Haowen even applied a concoction of countless types of chili peppers to their wounds, letting the liquid flow deep into the wounds, stimulating the flesh within those wounds.

"Ah!!!!"

Cao Qingyang and the others' pain was instantly magnified dozens of times, the pain striking directly at their foreheads, causing their Souls to continuously collapse.

This cruel method of torment was even more terrifying than having their limbs and all their Meridians severed.

That kind of pain was already close to Death, but still hanging on by a thread.

However, Situ Haowen's method was purely to prevent them from dying, constantly maintaining their suffering at its maximum extent, truly unbearable pain!

Zhuge Jinguang, at this moment, watched Cao Qingyang and the others suffer torment, as if the pain was in his own body; his expression was extremely pained, and he lowered his eyes, no longer looking.

The wails of Cao Qingyang and the others echoed throughout the hall; seeing that the torment was almost sufficient, Chu Yun said, "Alright, kill them."

Situ Haowen immediately condensed power into a hand blade, directly bisecting Cao Qingyang and the others, executing them on the spot!

After Situ Haowen dealt with Cao Qingyang and the others, he flicked his sleeve, and a wave of power swept over, annihilating all the blood and corpses.

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Jinguang glared at him without concealment, his eyes filled with anger.

Situ Haowen was too ruthless!

It was bad enough that he killed them; he didn't even leave the corpses for him, their Revered Master.

But despite this, Zhuge Jinguang at this moment could only dare to be angry but not speak, standing silently in place.

Meanwhile, under Afuya's healing power, Xu Nian's severed Meridians were reshaped, and all the injuries on his body were now healed.

Fortunately, they were all Physical Body injuries; his Soul had no major issues.

With Afuya's intervention, Xu Nian was instantly as if nothing had happened.

"Thanks."

Xu Nian also thanked Afuya at this moment.

Although Afuya was now the Elven Queen on the surface, she had not forgotten her friendship with Xu Nian, and said calmly, "It's a small matter; no need for thanks."

Xu Nian smiled, then looked at Chu Yun: "This time, many thanks to Brother Chu for personally coming; Xu Nian is immensely grateful."

Chu Yun waved his hand and immediately said, "Brother Xu, between you and me, why mention such words?"

"Don't worry, next time I see your General Tower Revered Master, I will mention you to him and ask him to pay more attention to you and your uncle, trying to arrange a better position for you."

Chu Yun said this openly, without concealment, directly in front of Zhu Yun, Situ Haowen, and the others.

He did it on purpose, to let these people know that Xu Nian was a very important friend of his, Chu Yun.

He might even stand above them in the future!

Their future attitude towards Xu Nian would be equivalent to determining their own future prospects.

"You're thoughtful."

Xu Nian smiled slightly and nodded.

He wasn't stupid; he naturally understood that Chu Yun saying all this so bluntly in front of so many people was all to pave the way for himself.
