74: The original owner was severely humiliated by Long Aotian 3

But this was not over yet.

Qin Jiuge injected another surge of Devilish Qi, causing her body to begin to mutate.

Pustules grew on her skin, her hair fell out, her teeth all dropped, and her entire body emitted a foul stench.

"Don't you love beauty?"

Qin Jiuge threw her beside Long Aotian.

"Now, along with your beloved disciple, enjoy this slowly."

Throughout the next entire day, Qin Jiuge took Long Aotian and Ling Qingxue and traversed the various major Schools of the Immortal Realm.

Immortal Venerable Jianxin, known as the number one person of the Sword Dao in the Immortal Realm, had his natal immortal sword shattered by Qin Jiuge with a single finger. His sword heart shattered, and he was reduced to a cripple.

Immortal Venerable Danhuang, the leader of the Pill Dao in the Immortal Realm, was forced by Qin Jiuge to swallow all the poisonous pills he had refined himself. He bled from all seven orifices in extreme agony.

Immortal Venerable Leiting, Immortal Venerable Hanbing, Heavenly Secret Immortal Venerable... one by one, these beings with illustrious reputations in the Immortal Realm...

...could not even withstand a single move before Qin Jiuge. Their cultivation bases were stripped away one after another, and they were subjected to various forms of capital punishment.

Every time he "visited" a Revered Master, Qin Jiuge would publicly expose their sordid relationship with Long Aotian,

as well as the various crimes they had committed for Long Aotian's sake.

These normally sanctimonious Immortal Venerables had nowhere to hide under Qin Jiuge's Soul-searching technique, and all their filthy secrets were made public.

The Immortal Realm was shaken!

By the time Qin Jiuge "visited" the seventy-third Immortal Venerable, the remaining ones could finally no longer sit still.

They joined forces to form the "Demon Slaying Grand Array," laying a dragnet across the endless starry sky as they awaited Qin Jiuge's arrival.

"Oh? Finally got smart and learned to join forces?"

Qin Jiuge felt the terrifying energy fluctuations in the starry sky ahead. Not only was he unafraid, but he also showed an expression of interest.

Carrying the already numb Long Aotian and Ling Qingxue, he took a step forward and appeared directly in the center of the Demon Slaying Grand Array.

Twenty-seven Immortal Venerables, each an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years, now occupied their respective array eyes, activating their lifelong cultivation.

As the grand array operated, the power of the stars was drawn forth, transforming into beams of destructive light that blasted toward Qin Jiuge.

This formation was enough to easily destroy a Major Thousand Worlds.

"Quite interesting."

Qin Jiuge nodded in praise,

"Much stronger than those previous wastes."

He extended his right hand, palm upward, and said softly:

"Demon Abyss, open."

"Boom—!"

A black vortex appeared in his palm. At first, it was only the size of a fist, but it instantly expanded to a scale capable of swallowing stars.

Those destructive light beams shot into the vortex like mud into the sea, failing to even cause a single ripple.

"Impossible!"

An Immortal Venerable cried out in shock.

"Returning them to you."

Qin Jiuge flipped his palm.

The black vortex reversed, and all the attacks it had just swallowed were spat back out with ten times the power,

furthermore, every single attack accurately locked onto one of the Immortal Venerables forming the array.

"No—!"

Screams echoed through the starry sky.

Out of the twenty-seven Immortal Venerables, nineteen perished instantly under the backlash of their own grand array, while the remaining eight were heavily injured and on the verge of death.

Qin Jiuge strolled through the starry sky as if walking in his own courtyard.

He walked up to an Immortal Venerable who had only half a breath left.

That was Heavenly Secret Immortal Venerable, famous in the Immortal Realm for deducing heavenly secrets.

"I heard you can calculate all heavenly secrets?"

Qin Jiuge squatted down,

"Then did you calculate your own today?"

Heavenly Secret Immortal Venerable coughed up blood and gave a miserable laugh:

"This old man... indeed did not calculate... just what kind of sacred being is Fellow Daoist..."

"Dead people don't need to know too much."

Qin Jiuge pressed his hand against Heavenly Secret Immortal Venerable's forehead, forcibly searching his Soul to find the location information of the remaining Immortal Venerables.

"Alright, you can go now."

With a gentle squeeze from Qin Jiuge, Heavenly Secret Immortal Venerable's Divine Soul was completely annihilated.

Over the next three hours, Qin Jiuge used thunderous methods to find the remaining Immortal Venerables one by one, stripping their cultivation and inflicting torture.

When the last Immortal Venerable, Long Aotian's first Revered Master, the one known as the "Immortal Realm's Number One Beauty," Immortal Venerable Yuqing,

had her immortal bones stripped and her appearance ruined by Qin Jiuge, and was thrown at Long Aotian's feet, Long Aotian finally broke down completely.

"Kill me... please kill me..."

He muttered, his eyes hollow.

"Kill you?"

Qin Jiuge shook his head,

"That would be too easy for you. Your harem hasn't been dealt with yet."

Hearing the word "harem," Long Aotian's entire body trembled.

That harem of a thousand Immortal Emperor-level women was Long Aotian's most prized "collection."

They came from various realms—Yao Race princesses, Demon Race queens, Human Race prodigies, God Race goddesses... every one of them was an absolute beauty, and every one was utterly devoted to him.

Following the information obtained from the Soul search, Qin Jiuge arrived at the "Palace of Three Thousand Beauties" that Long Aotian had specifically built for his harem.

This was a massive complex of palaces floating on the edge of the Immortal Realm, covering an area comparable to a Major Thousand Worlds.

Within the palaces, Immortal Qi swirled, and there were countless rare treasures; every harem member had her own independent palace and maids.

When Qin Jiuge appeared above the main hall carrying Long Aotian, it immediately caused a commotion.

"Husband!"

"Revered Master!"

"Aotian!"

...Over a thousand graceful figures flew out from various palaces,

every single one was a world-toppling beauty,

every single one possessed an Aura at the Immortal Emperor level.

Seeing Long Aotian's miserable state, they were instantly filled with uncontrollable rage.

"Let go of my husband!"

A woman wearing fiery red armor shouted sharply; she was a princess of the Phoenix Race, and her cultivation had already reached the Peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

"Sisters, form the array! Rescue our husband!"

Another fox-race woman cried out; she was the Green Hill Empress, and her strength was equally astonishing.

Over a thousand Immortal Emperors formed a profound grand array, its Aura so strong it even surpassed the previous Demon Slaying Grand Array of the Immortal Venerables.

After all, these harem members were all prodigies from various realms, and their combined power was limitless.

Qin Jiuge laughed.

"Truly a group of infatuated women."

His tone carried a hint of mockery,

"Unfortunately, the object of your infatuation is an absolute scumbag."

He threw Long Aotian onto the ground and then, facing the thousand Immortal Emperors, slowly spoke of Long Aotian's true colors,

how he used despicable means to obtain them: drugging, coercion, exterminating their clans to force them... how he treated those harem members he lost interest in: casting them into the cold palace, gifting them to subordinates, or even refining them into Medicinal Pills... how he evaluated them behind their backs: as nothing more than playthings, collectibles, and cultivation cauldrons... With every point he made, Qin Jiuge displayed memory fragments obtained from the Soul search as evidence.

The faces of the harem members grew paler and paler; some had already begun to waver.

"No... it can't be... Husband is very good to me..."

A Human Race Fairy shook her head, unwilling to believe it.

"He's good to you?"

Qin Jiuge pointed at her,

"Your name is Bi Yao, right? You originally had a fiancé, a Senior Brother who was your childhood sweetheart."

"Long Aotian took an interest in your 'Mysterious Yin Physique,' so he exterminated your entire sect and tortured your Senior Brother to death right in front of you,"

"then appeared disguised as your savior, correct?"

Fairy Bi Yao was as if struck by lightning, as those memories she had deliberately forgotten flooded back into her mind.

"And you, Phoenix Princess."

Qin Jiuge turned to the woman in red,

"You think he truly loves you? He only took an interest in your Phoenix Origin, wanting to use your essence blood to Cultivate the 'Nirvana Divine Technique'."

"The day the technique reaches Major Achievement will be the moment you are drained of your essence blood and die."

The Phoenix Princess's face turned deathly pale because she indeed felt that after every session of Dual Cultivation, her Origin would weaken slightly, and Long Aotian always said this was a normal phenomenon... One by one, Qin Jiuge exposed Long Aotian's true intentions and actions toward every member of the harem.

Some harem members broke down on the spot, while others were consumed by burning rage.

"Long! Ao! Tian!"

The Phoenix Princess was the first to turn her spear, her Phoenix True Fire transforming into a long spear that stabbed toward Long Aotian on the ground.

"Sisters, we've been deceived!"

The Green Hill Empress also reacted, her nine fox tails unfurling as she charged toward Long Aotian.

For a time, the thousand Immortal Emperors fell into infighting.

One part still believed in Long Aotian, while the other wanted to kill him for revenge; the two sides clashed in battle.

Qin Jiuge was happy to watch the show, even waving his hand to set up a barrier to prevent anyone from escaping or accidentally hurting the audience—he and Ling Qingxue were the audience.

This harem civil war lasted for an entire day. When the battle ended, the Palace of Three Thousand Beauties was in ruins, more than half of the thousand Immortal Emperors were dead or injured, and the survivors were all heavily wounded.

Long Aotian took several more heavy hits during the chaos and was now at his last gasp.

Only then did Qin Jiuge remove the barrier and stroll into the battlefield.

"Splendid, truly splendid."

He clapped,

"A play of dogs biting dogs is this King's favorite thing to watch."

He looked at the surviving harem members:

"Now, it's your turn."

These women, though some were forced and some were deceived, had indeed all assisted a tyrant in his evil deeds.

To please Long Aotian, their hands were more or less stained with the blood of the innocent.

Qin Jiuge would not let them go just because they were also victims.

He expanded his Demonic Domain, enveloping all the surviving harem members within it.

The flow of time within the Demonic Domain was adjusted to ten thousand times that of the outside world; he intended to inflict "tailor-made" punishments on these women inside.

The Phoenix Princess was stripped of her Phoenix Bloodline and cast into the mortal realm to become the lowliest prostitute, never to be liberated for all eternity.

The Green Hill Empress had her nine tails cut off, was turned into an ordinary fox, and was chased by hounds for billions of years.

Fairy Bi Yao was thrown into an illusion, reliving the scene of her sect's destruction and her Senior Brother's tragic death over and over until her Divine Soul collapsed... Every harem member suffered a punishment corresponding to her crimes.

Moreover, Qin Jiuge used Devilish Qi to sustain their lives, making it so they couldn't die even if they wanted to.

By the time all this was done, less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed in the outside world.

Qin Jiuge returned to reality and looked at Long Aotian and Ling Qingxue on the ground, who had only half a breath left.

"The Revered Masters and the harem have all been dealt with."

He smiled,

"Now, it's time to complete the final step."

He extended his hand and began to perform a forbidden Demonic Technique,

"The Great Law of Eternal Reincarnation."

This technique could forcibly reverse the cycle of life and death, resurrecting people who had already died, but the form and situation after resurrection were decided by the caster.

The first to be resurrected were those hundred Immortal Venerable Revered Masters.

They re-coalesced from the void, but no longer in their immortal and elegant forms; instead, they were filthy and ugly pigs.

"Oink! Oink!"

The sow that Hundred Flowers Immortal Venerable had turned into squealed in terror; she still had her memories and could still think, but she could not speak, only able to make pig noises.

Next were those harem members, whether dead or still being punished; all were forcibly summoned back and likewise turned into pigs.

Finally, Qin Jiuge looked at Long Aotian and Ling Qingxue.

"Your turn."

The two shook their heads in terror, but it was to no avail.

Shrouded in demonic light, their bodies began to twist and deform, eventually turning into pigs as well,

Long Aotian was a castrated boar, and Ling Qingxue was a sow covered in festering sores.

"Next is the final program."

Qin Jiuge tore through space and arrived at a plane filled with filth and evil—the Goblin Lair.

Hundreds of millions of Goblins lived here; they were filthy, brutal, and lecherous, the nightmare of all female creatures.

Qin Jiuge threw the pig-transformed Long Aotian, Ling Qingxue, the hundred Immortal Venerables, and the thousand harem members into the deepest part of the Goblin Lair.

He set up an eternal barrier, making these "pigs" immortal so they would feel pain forever.

He also specifically adjusted their perception, making their sense of pain ten thousand times that of a normal creature.

"Enjoy yourselves."

Qin Jiuge stood above the lair, looking down at the horrific scenes beginning to unfold,

"This is what you deserve."

The Goblins discovered these "pigs" and swarmed over them in excitement... Screams (pig squeals) resounded through the lair, but no one would come to save them.

Qin Jiuge watched for a while, and after confirming the barrier was operating normally, he turned and left.

He returned to the ruins of the Qin Family in Qingyang City and released the Souls of the Qin clansmen.

"The grudge has been avenged."

He said to the Original Owner's consciousness, "Repaid a hundredfold."

The Original Owner's consciousness wept in his Sea of Consciousness; those were tears of liberation:

"Thank you... thank you..."

"No need for thanks."

Qin Jiuge said with rare gentleness as he waved his hand to send those victimized Souls into Reincarnation,

and secretly left a blessing deep within their Souls, so that in their next lives, they would all be born into good families and live a life of peace and joy.

Having done all this, Qin Jiuge stood in the ruins, looking up at the sky.

"This world is quite interesting."

He murmured softly to himself,

"Since I'm here, I might as well play for a while longer."

His figure gradually faded, vanishing into the air.

Leaving behind only the eternal screams in the Goblin Lair, witnessing the conclusion of this bloody revenge.

Throughout the Immortal Realm, legends about the "mysterious Devil King" began to spread.

Some said he was an ancient devil god awakened, some said he was an Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao come to punish evil, but no one knew his true identity.
