1027: C1027 Upper Execution Ground

C1027 Upper Execution Ground

Early the next morning, a major event happened at the Shining Cloud Sect.

Jin Xuelei, the most famous member of the faction, was to be punished in the most severe manner since the establishment of the sect.

What was the punishment? It was said that since the founding of the sect, no one had ever committed such a grave mistake and would bring out such a punishment.

The commandment had been carved on a stone at the inner gate of the Shining Cloud Sect.

The first rule: All members of the same sect are prohibited from killing each other. Those who violate this rule will have their bones broken …

The bones in his body were being broken bit by bit, but there was no guarantee that he would die from the pain. Therefore, if he wanted to enforce this rule, he had to execute it for at least three days, at least ten hours a day.

Just thinking about it was enough to make one's legs go weak, let alone executing it.

Jin Xuelei had been locked in the Yao Yun Sect's cell since last night until eight in the morning.

Jiyaaa!

The cell door was opened and Jin Xuelei was escorted out by two disciples.

Looking at the crowded plaza, Jin Xuelei didn't know why Zhou Qing's frown and smile would appear in front of his eyes. Perhaps he would never see her again in this lifetime!

The corners of Jin Xuelei's eyes were red. To others, it seemed like he was only like this because he was about to be punished.

The Great Elder, who was sitting on the high platform, watched Jin Xuelei walk towards the square step by step. Only then did he feel slightly relieved.

Last night, he forced Ji Fengxing to do this, so he was afraid that Ji Fengxing would go back on his word. He didn't sleep well last night, so he sent someone to secretly watch the whole night outside the cell.

In the middle of the square stood the executioner. Beside him was a table with hammers of varying sizes. Every bone in the person's body was different in size, so the awl used was also different.

It was unknown what the hammer was made of, but under the illumination of the sun, it shone with a ghastly light.

This sort of punishment would not result in even the slightest amount of blood being shed, and the bones would be directly crushed within the flesh. The pain could be imagined.

Jin Xuelei walked towards the square step by step. The closer he got to that person, the further he felt he was away from Zhou Qing.

"We might never meet again from now on!" Jin Xuelei thought.

It wasn't that Jin Xuelei didn't think of using suicide to solve the problem, but he felt that it was something only cowards would do. Even if he died, he would rather die in the process of torture than to easily end his own life.

Walking to the center of the square, Jin Xuelei turned around and looked at Ji Fengxing who was sitting on the high platform. He bowed deeply. Ji Fengxing was the one who picked him up when he was almost frozen to death in the snow all those years ago.

When he thought about the past, he realized that he could be considered to have repaid the debt of saving his life.

Clang!

A melodious and ancient bell rang out.

The Great Elder, who was standing on the stage, stood up with a grim expression. His gaze slowly swept across the disciples below, and then he shouted, "Jin Xuelei of the Brilliant Cloud Sect has killed a fellow disciple, the first rule of the Brilliant Cloud Sect is to break a person's bones in public."

With that, the executioner turned to Jin Xuelei and said in a deep voice, "Let's begin!"

Jin Xuelei didn't say anything. He just nodded and laid down.

Many of the disciples in the audience had a good relationship with Jin Xuelei. Even the average person would trust Jin Xuelei's character. On the contrary, they were well aware of what Wu Jing usually looked like.

Many people were whispering their grievances on his behalf.

"It must be the Great Elder who intervened. Otherwise, how could the Sect Leader possibly kill Junior Jin?"

"Let's not talk about Great Elder, let's just talk about this Wu Jing. Everyone knows what he usually looks like. Would Jin Xuelei just kill him like that?"2

"I think Jin Xuelei is really unlucky this time. Let's make it difficult for the others!"

Since someone said this, many disciples began to discuss in whispers. The Great Elder and the Sect Leader on the stage naturally heard this as well.

The grand elder's face twitched in anger. He slammed the cup in his hand onto the ground before standing up and pointing at the man below. "Are you dead? Why aren't you starting?"

Wu Zhitai's shout was really effective. Everyone kept quiet. Then, the man on the stage took out a fist sized hammer, cupped his fist towards Jin Xuelei and said a few words of 'offense'. Then, he was about to smash the hammer down.

Bang!

Before the hammer could fall, it was bounced back by a gust of air. The force of the energy wasn't small, causing the man holding the hammer to be forced back seven or eight steps before he could stand firmly.

"Who is it?!" The grand elder thought that they could start now. He did not expect such an unexpected occurrence. With a loud shout, an energy beam was sent flying in the direction of the energy beam.

A low sonic boom suddenly rang out.

Following that, everyone saw their own Great Elder suddenly cover his chest and retreat three to four steps before fiercely spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Wow, who is it? You came to save Jin Xuelei? "

The crowd immediately burst into an uproar. Many of them started to look for the direction the energy was being shot from, but after looking for a long time, they still couldn't find the person who came.

Jin Xuelei's heart skipped a beat. He had a guess, but he wasn't sure.

At this moment, Ji Fengxing stood up from the chair. Wu Zhitai's disciples ran up to help him up. Blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth. It seemed that his wounds were not light.

However, his gaze was fixed on a direction in the air. Following his gaze, the crowd saw a figure standing in the air.

The figure was somewhat illusory, almost transparent. If it wasn't for the Great Elder's gaze, the disciples below would not have noticed it.

When Jin Xuelei saw the shadow, he was so shocked that he immediately sat up from the ground.

His current appearance must have made the other person very disappointed, right? Thinking about that, Jin Xuelei lowered his head even more.

"Since you've come, why don't you show yourself and interview us? This must be the territory of the Brilliant Cloud Sect. Aren't you overdoing it!" Ji Fengxing could feel the energy fluctuations coming from the other party. He knew he couldn't beat them, but it must be said that he was the leader of the faction.

The silhouette in the air replied faintly, "I used to think that Sect Leader Ji was a righteous and upright person, but who would've thought that meeting him today would result in such a disappointment!"

Ji Fengxing's heart skipped a beat.

Then, he heard that figure open his mouth again, "You are very meticulous with the facts. Does your sect have any evidence to prove that Jin Xuelei was the one who killed this person?"

"What other solid evidence is there to prove? Jin Xuelei took advantage of the situation by saying it himself. Could we really wrongly accuse him? " The Great Elder clutched his chest and shouted.

"Whiz!" However, as soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, a black light fell from the sky and headed straight for Wu Zhitai.

The moment Wu Zhitai was injured, Ji Fengxing tried to stop him.

However, with an explosion of energy, Wu Zhidao's body flew backwards and crashed into a stone pillar behind him. Then, his body crashed onto the ground with a loud bang …
