Chapter 485
As soon as the words "Ten Kings' Division" were uttered, the faces of the four Fengrao people instantly became paler, and the fear in their eyes became more intense, almost overflowing.
They naturally knew what the Ten Kings Division represented. It was the solemn place on the Immortal Boat that was in charge of punishment and judgement of crimes. The various methods used there were designed to punish those who committed heinous crimes. The cruelty of it was so severe that it made people's scalps numb and cold sweats pour out just thinking about it.
The woman holding the whip had her lips trembling slightly. She suppressed her inner fear and tried to argue, "We...we just happened to pass by here, without any special purpose. Please don't slander us!" But her panicked eyes and stammering words exposed her guilty conscience.
"Just passing by?" Jing Yuan sneered, and the laugh was like an ice knife scraping across glass, harsh and cold. "Who do you think can be fooled by such a lie? Just now you attacked us so desperately, and you were trying to find something. What's more, the passage to here was opened by the marshal. You followed us and sneaked in, but now you say you just happened to pass by. It's too ridiculous." As he said that, he took a few steps forward, slowly squatted down, and looked the woman in the eye. The oppressive feeling in his eyes made the woman subconsciously want to shrink back, but she was tied up tightly with ropes and could not move.
Seeing that the woman with the whip was so stubborn, Jing Yuan snorted coldly, stood up, and looked down at the four people with an even colder look in his eyes.
"It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. If that's the case, then I don't need to waste my words on you." Jing Yuan said, and raised the long sword in his hand slightly. The lightning on the blade flickered and jumped. "I want to see if you can still keep those secrets after the lightning travels through your body a few times."
After saying that, he shook his wrist lightly, and a tiny but powerful bolt of lightning flew out from the long sword and shot towards the woman holding the whip.
The moment the lightning touched the woman's body, there was a "sizzling" sound, and the electric current instantly spread out, running all over her body.
The woman suddenly let out a shrill scream, her body twitched violently and uncontrollably, her hair stood up from the shock of the electric current, her already disheveled face was now even more terribly distorted, her eyes were wide open and bloodshot, white foam kept coming out of her mouth, she looked as if she was enduring the most cruel torture in the world.
Upon seeing this, the other three people of Fengzao all turned pale, their eyes were filled with fear, and their bodies trembled even more violently, as if they would be the next ones to suffer such pain.
"Stop...stop! I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!" The woman finally collapsed under the torture of the electric current. She shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice becoming hoarse and unpleasant because of the pain.
Jing Yuan waved his hand, took back the lightning, looked at her coldly, and waited for her next words.
The woman was breathing heavily, and her heavy breathing was particularly clear in this silent and tense space. Every breath was like pulling on a broken bellows, making a "wheezing" sound.
Her chest heaved violently, as if she had to inhale the smoke-filled and oppressive air into her lungs in order to barely relieve the pain brought by the power of thunder and lightning.
After a while, she finally recovered. The face that was originally distorted by pain gradually regained some clarity, but the resentment and helplessness in her eyes became more and more intense, like two balls of burning fire, burning deep in her eyes.
She gritted her teeth, her lips trembling slightly, and she said with difficulty, "We...we did follow you in, and our purpose is to find that box." When she said the word "box", a hint of fanaticism and desire flashed in her eyes unconsciously. Although she was in a desperate situation at the moment, when she thought of what was contained in the box, the blind worship of abundance in her heart emerged uncontrollably.
"We got news that the box is most likely in a cave. As long as we can get it, we can revive Shuhu and make Fengzao prosperous again," her voice was filled with an almost insane obsession, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, revealing a desperate madness, "even...it can even allow us to get rid of the situation where we are being hunted down by the Immortal Boat and become the real masters of this world." At this moment, a fantasy picture had already emerged in her eyes - the power of abundance enveloped the earth, and all things grew wildly under its nourishment, and they, the people of Fengzao, stood at the pinnacle of power, wantonly controlling everything in the world. The fear of the Immortal Boat and the embarrassment of hiding would no longer exist, replaced by endless respect and absolute rule.
As Jing Yuan listened to her words, his expression became even colder, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. His icy gaze, as if it were real, pierced straight at the woman, as if he wanted to see through her.
"Resurrection Suddenly? You people of abundance are really stubborn. The power of abundance has long been proved to be the source of disasters. It has brought only endless disasters and destruction, causing countless lives to be devastated and the universe to be unbalanced. You actually want to resurrect the culprit. It's simply insane and unforgivable!" Jing Yuan's voice was low and majestic. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of these people of abundance, and the enthusiasm that had just surged up in them due to fantasy was instantly extinguished, and replaced by deeper fear.
Fei Xiao's face flushed red with anger. She gripped the weapon tightly in her hand, took a step forward, and shouted with eyes wide open, "Are you going to drag the entire Immortal Boat into the abyss of no return just for your own selfish desires? If you really find the box, it will not only be the power of abundance that will reappear in the world, but also the bloody killings and the destruction of all lives! Don't you have any conscience? Can't you see the devastation that was once destroyed by the power of abundance?"
Jing Liu's face was still as cold as ice, and he said coldly, "You are too naive. Let's not talk about whether the box really exists. Even if it is really in this cave, do you think you can easily get it and realize your absurd ambition? Xianzhou will not allow it. You are just dreaming, and this dream will be completely shattered here today."
As she spoke, the sword in her hand trembled lightly, and the sword body made a crisp sound, as if she wanted to kill the four of them immediately.
But the next moment, Huai Yan stretched out his hand to signal Jing Liu not to be so radical and not to let them escape from prison.
