Chapter 725

Zhao Jian's hand grabbed Xia Zihe's left arm. In a moment of desperation, how could he still control his strength?

With just a stretch of his hand, he took out Xia Zihe's left hand that was hidden in her sleeve. What he touched was not the smooth and soft hand that he had imagined. Instead, it was like an ice-cold thin bamboo. When he took a closer look, he realized that what he was holding in his hand was a white bone that did not have a single bit of good flesh.

It wasn't neat to begin with, and with this grab, it was a mess of flesh and blood. This immediately frightened Zhao Jian and he cried out in shock.

At this moment, Xia Zihe, who was lying on her back, lifted her veil and revealed her skeleton-like face to Zhao Jian. After Zhao Jian exclaimed in shock, he immediately let go of Xia Zihe's hand and took a few steps back with the force of his feet.

Just as he took a step back, Zhao Jian came to his senses and was about to take another step forward when he heard Xia Zihe's cold laughter. "Junior Brother Zhao, after seeing me like this, you still dare to sleep beside me at night?

Aren't you afraid that I will strangle your neck with my cold hands? "

"This..." Zhao Jian naturally hesitated.

At this moment, he heard the masked Chen Chen's shout. "Where are the disciplinary disciples?

Take this heartless man down and kill him by a thousand cuts. Feed his flesh to the stray dogs! "

Just as he finished speaking, two of the inner disciples that Chen Chen had brought with him stepped out and walked toward Zhao Jian. When Zhao Jian saw them, he knew that there was no hope and he was about to make a final struggle. However, the moment he moved, the disciplinary disciple's fingers were already in front of Zhao Jian's eyes. Before Zhao Jian could make a move, all of his major acupoints were sealed. Then, the two of them skillfully grabbed one arm each and dragged Zhao Jian out of the Ethereal Hall!

"Vice Hall Master Zhong, save me!"

"Senior Sister Xia, I was wrong. I will accompany you forever..."

"Lord Chen, save me ~"

In the end, he said, "Junior Brother Zhang, say something. Think about our brotherhood back then..." It was a classic case of begging for help at the brink of death!

Zhao Jian's voice didn't stop even after he was outside. First, he begged for help, then he cursed and finally, he let out a heart-wrenching scream!

The masked Chen Chen looked at the disciples in the Misty Palace and said with a smile, "Are you interested in seeing this guy's miserable state?"

However, the hall was completely silent. No one made a sound.

Zhang Xiaohua was extremely anxious. This was the legendary death by a thousand cuts. They had to take a look and broaden their horizons. Moreover, this Zhao Jian had harmed her second brother heavily. Seeing his miserable state could be considered as venting their anger.

It was a pity that Zhang Xiaohua's Spiritual Sense was only ten feet long at this time. Otherwise, she would have already released it.

After the time it took to eat a meal, Zhao Jian's howls gradually became softer. It was obvious that he had run out of strength. The masked Chen Chen opened his mouth and said, "Our sect's punishment of death by a thousand cuts is usually carried out for three days and three nights. We have to let the victim taste all kinds of pain before he dies. However, this is Shixin Peak, so we'll keep it simple and only let this guy have a little advantage.

All of you male disciples, go out and take a look. Remember the consequences of being unfaithful! "

Then he said to Zhang Xiaohua, "Ren Xiaoyao, you go and take a look too!"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and deliberately asked, "Lord Chen, do I have to go too?"

"Yes, you have to take a look!"

"Eh?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. She couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"If I tell you to go, then go. How dare you disobey my orders?" Chen Chen didn't explain at all.

Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips. She got up and followed the male disciples to the open space in front of the Misty Palace.

In the middle of the open space was a thick wooden stake, and Zhao Jian was tied up on it. His entire body was drenched in blood, and even his face was covered in flesh and blood. He could no longer be seen as a human. At this moment, Zhao Jian was already out of breath, and he groaned in a low voice, "Two … Senior … Brothers … Please … give … me … a … quick … death … please …"

The two law enforcement disciples turned a deaf ear to his pleas. The two sharp knives in their hands continuously cut off pieces of flesh from Zhao Jian's body.

Zhang Xiaohua was curious at first, but after a few glances, she couldn't help feeling disgusted. A person could only die with his head on the ground. This kind of torture was indeed against the heavens. But when she thought about what Zhao Jian had done, Zhang Xiaohua could only sigh. "It's not that the time isn't up!

When the time is up, the pain inflicted on others will be returned a thousand times! "

It was unknown whether it was due to Zhao Jian's tenacity or the Lingering Fragrance Peak's law enforcement disciples' special methods, but after another hour, Zhao Jian's flesh was completely shaved off, revealing his eerie white bones. Only then did Zhao Jian gradually stop breathing amidst his miserable groans.

Not only Zhang Xiaohua, but the other male disciples of the Misty Hall were also pale. Their breathing was rapid, and their foreheads were slightly sweaty. It seemed that they had been taught a good lesson. They no longer dared to do such things in the Incense Cult, such as liking the new and hating the old!

Seeing that Zhao Jian had died, the two law enforcement disciples found something from the side and cleaned up his remains and the flesh on the ground. They took it outside, presumably to find the wild dog.

However, in the Cult of Fragrance, this wild dog might not be easy to find. It was unknown how the two of them completed Chen Chen's instructions.

Zhang Xiaohua and the other male disciples returned to the Misty Hall. They were still standing or sitting, waiting for Chen Chen to speak.

Chen Chen looked around and cleared his throat. "Well, since Zhao Jian has been executed, this envoy has successfully completed two of the three things that I came here for!"

Everyone stared blankly for a moment, their hearts thumping wildly as they searched their minds for any 'heartless' actions they might have done …

At this time, Chen Chen said slowly, "The ancients said, 'Good people don't live long, bad people live for a hundred years.'

However, now that the bad people are dead, our good people are still living very well, yes, although there are some injuries.

Well, back to the topic, the bad people have been punished. What's next?

Will the good people be rewarded? "

That tone, that tone, that method of arousing people's curiosity, it was really comparable to the storytellers in the teahouse. Well, perhaps Chen Chen had learned it from them.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were shining, Chen Chen was very happy. He waved his hand again and a girl behind him came up and handed Chen Chen a brocade box. Chen Chen took it and walked to Zhang Xiaohu. "Zhang Xiaohu, the Hierarch has heard of your deeds and is very pleased. Your martial arts are not high, but you care about your Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters. Even if you don't sacrifice your own life, you still want to keep them safe. You are a role model for all the male disciples of the Cult of Fragrance. If you don't reward people like you, how can you convince the others?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua unconsciously touched his nose and secretly said, "This... Isn't this talking about Shaoxia?"

Unfortunately, in his story, Zhang Xiaohu was the protagonist. He was the little medicine boy of the Tuodan Hall who was saved by Zhang Xiaohu!

Chen Chen continued, "Not only did you save your own disciple of the Misty Hall, but you also saved other disciples along the way. Although Xia Zihe is a disciple of the Misty Hall, you didn't know it when you saved her. You have always treated her as an inner disciple. It shows that in your heart, no matter which peak the disciples are from, they are all your brothers and sisters and you treat them equally. This really shows that you are kind and broad-minded. You are a disciple worthy of training in the Cult of Fragrance."

"Therefore, His Excellency the Cult Leader has decreed that he will give you a copy of the Suhuan Heart Sutra and three Suhuan Pills to help you improve your internal strength and have stronger martial arts. He will also carry forward the tradition of mutual help and friendship among the disciples of the Cult of Fragrance!"

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he was overjoyed. His Second Brother's torture for the past ten days had not been in vain. Even the Fragrant Religion's Lord had personally bestowed him a pill. Although Zhang Xiaohua had never heard of this Plain Pill before, he was sure that it was a pill that could increase one's cultivation. As for the Plain Aura Cultivation Method, it was probably not much worse than the Ethereal Divine Art.

However, when these things were placed in front of Zhang Xiaohu's eyes, they did not arouse any gratitude from Zhang Xiaohu. Wasn't this nonsense? His internal strength had been crippled by Zhao Jian. Even if he took these pills and skills, what use would it be?

The masked Chen Chen saw Zhang Xiaohu's incomparably clear eyes and couldn't help but think to himself, "I admire him. He really is a direct disciple of the Misty School. If he hadn't practiced the secret skills of the Misty School, how could he not be tempted by these things?

His Excellency the Cult Leader is truly wise. "

Thus, he said to Chen Chen, "Chen Chen, your Senior Brother Zhang's hands and feet are inconvenient. You take them for him first!"

Yang Ruping, who was sitting below Chen Chen, had a drastic change in expression when she heard that the Cult Leader had bestowed the pills and the Suhuan Heart Sutra. When she heard that Chen Chen was to take them, she couldn't help but stand up and say, "Envoy Chen, please wait!"

The masked Chen Chen revealed a knowing smile. He turned around and asked, "Hall Master Yang, do you have any objections to the Cult Leader's decree?"

Yang Ruping shook her head and said, "This disciple doesn't dare to question the Cult Leader's decree. It's just that … I want to ask Envoy Chen, these Heart Sutra and pills … are they … mistaken?"

The masked Chen Chen smiled and said, "When this envoy came down from the Lingxiang Peak, I personally went to the pill room and the skill room to take these things. How can they be wrong?"

"This …" Yang Ruping pondered for a moment and said while gritting her teeth, "But the Cult Leader is wise. Zhang Xiaohu is a direct disciple of the Misty School and his teacher is Wen Wenhai. He practices the Ethereal Skill, a secret mental cultivation method of the Misty School, and he has already succeeded in it. This internal strength mental cultivation method is the hard Yang one, while the Suhuan Mental Cultivation Method is the soft Yin one, which is the internal strength mental cultivation method practiced by the female disciples of the school. If Zhang Xiaohu didn't practice the Ethereal Skill, he could practice the Suhuan Mental Cultivation Method, which is a gift from the Cult Leader. But now … if he practices the Suhuan Mental Cultivation Method, this … isn't it like pouring water on the fire?

It's very easy to go mad? "

Hearing this, Wen Wenhai's expression suddenly changed. The other disciples' envy also turned into sympathy. Yes, the masters in Jianghu all practiced one kind of hard Yang or soft Yin internal strength. Few people practiced both at the same time. Although there were very few people who practiced both at the same time, very few people succeeded. These people were all rare geniuses in Jianghu!

Was Zhang Xiaohu such a genius?

Absolutely not. He started practicing internal strength at the age of 63. If he practiced two completely different kinds of internal strength mental cultivation methods at the same time, he would definitely go mad!
