Jin Wen's face changed again when he heard the name of Jin Wu. When he was caught by Shen Qi, he guessed that Jin Wu would most likely not be able to resist, so he was not sure how much Shen Qi knew. When he could not bear it anymore, he had to say what to protect the Jin family to the greatest extent.
But Shen Qi seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "Jin Wen, before we begin, I must remind you that the fact that your Jin family is secretly communicating with Wu Qiang and sending a large number of cultivators into Kunshan means that your Jin family has no future. What you can fight for now is what will happen to you and Jin Wu in the future, whether it's a direct death sentence or spending the rest of your life in prison. Don't worry about other outcomes."
Jin Wen said coldly, "Don't try to scare me here! Our Jin family has some influence in the Caste Country. Aren't you afraid of causing a diplomatic dispute by doing this?"
Shen Qi shook his head. "You think too highly of your Jin family, don't you? Is your Jin family really that valuable? Moreover, we have something on your Jin family. Who would dare to speak up for your Jin family at this time? Aren't they afraid of being targeted by us? Think carefully about your Jin family's situation in the Caste Country, and you will know what choice to make now."
Jin Wen was silent. He knew the Jin family's situation too well. Although their Jin family had some power, after all, the Jin family was not a native family of the Caste Country. There was an obvious rift between them and the wealthy families in the Caste Country. Even many wealthy families in the Caste Country were trying to deal with the Jin family. Now that the Jin family was in trouble, those wealthy families were probably happily dividing up the interests of their Jin family. Who would care about standing up for the Jin family?
Are they waiting for Jin Wen and his son to return to the caste country and spit out the benefits they have seized?
Shen Qi continued, "I've said everything I need to say. You can see the current situation clearly. I'll give you five minutes to consider. If you don't cooperate after five minutes, I'll have no choice but to resort to some other means."
After saying that, Shen Qi sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, not caring about Jin Wen's reaction at all.
Jin Wen looked at Shen Qi silently, feeling conflicted.
Although Shen Qi made it very clear, he still refused to give up because he felt that there was still hope for their Jin family.
Five minutes passed quickly, and Shen Qi was a little surprised to see that Jin Wen still had a stubborn attitude.
"It seems that you don't want to cooperate, so I have no choice but to take action."
As Shen Qi swung his right hand, a powerful force strangled Jin Wen's neck, suffocating him first. If Jin Wen could hold on, Shen Qi naturally had other means.
Jin Wen's performance was indeed much better than Jin Wu's. Twenty minutes later, Jin Wen's face had turned purple and his eyes had become dull, but he showed no sign of surrender.
Shen Qi was also a little curious when he saw this, and couldn't guess what was supporting Jin Wen to persist until now.
However, at this point, Shen Qi could not continue, because if he continued, even if Jin Wen did not die, it would cause serious damage to his brain. At that time, Shen Qi might never be able to ask what he wanted to know.
Shen Qi snapped his fingers with his right hand, and the force that was strangling Jin Wen's neck suddenly disappeared. Jin Wen gasped for breath, but in less than five seconds the force came back and strangled Jin Wen's neck again, making it impossible for him to breathe.
At this time, Shen Qi carefully observed the changes in Jin Wen's expression, especially his eyes, wanting to see if Jin Wen had any intention of giving up.
But to Shen Qi's disappointment, Jin Wen was determined and showed no signs of compromise.
After several attempts, Shen Qi felt helpless. Both Jinwen and Jinwu were difficult to deal with. It seemed that he had to try another approach.
This time, Shen Qi did not take out pills, but took out dozens of thin silver needles and came to Jin Wen.
“Jin Wen, you are also a cultivator, and you are anxious with demonic cultivators like Wu Qiang, so you should have heard of the Eighteen Needles of Compassion, right?”
Jin Wen's expression suddenly changed. "You... you can perform the Eighteen Needles of Mercy?"
Shen Qi smiled. "Yes, it seems you have heard of the Eighteen Needles of Mercy. Are you sure you want to try it? Don't blame me for not reminding you, you only have one chance to choose!"
Jin Wen finally showed a hesitant expression, because he did know the Eighteen Needles of Compassion.
The phrase "Eighteen Needles of Compassion" contains the word "compassion," but in reality, it's not compassionate at all. From the very first needle, one can experience extreme pain, and with each additional needle, the pain increases by three points. If all eighteen needles are used, the extreme pain will increase nearly a hundredfold!
According to records in the cultivation world, more than four hundred years ago, a powerful man who was unrivaled at the time was ambushed and fell into the hands of evil cultivators. In order to obtain the information they wanted, the evil cultivators used the Eighteen Needles of Mercy on this powerful man.
Poor man, he was a tough guy, but he only lasted ten needles before he collapsed and told everything before the eleventh needle was inserted.
Although those evil cultivators did not continue to attack the powerful man, allowing him to survive by chance, his spirit had completely collapsed since then. He had an amazing cultivation base, but he was unable to use even a little bit of it. He turned into a madman and could not get out of the shadow of the Eighteen Needles of Compassion for the rest of his life.
Since then, everyone knows the horror of the Eighteen Needles of Mercy. The word "mercy" in the Eighteen Needles of Mercy is not said to the victim, but to advise the torturer to always be merciful, because the Eighteen Needles of Mercy are really too terrifying.
The legend about the Eighteen Needles of Compassion has been circulating in the cultivation world for hundreds of years. Jin Wen has certainly heard of it, but after so many years, he still thinks it is just a legend and it is impossible for anyone to perform such a terrifying acupuncture technique. But now Shen Qi has told it in front of him, and it looks like he wants to use him as an experiment. How can he not be nervous?
When Shen Qi saw Jin Wen's reaction, he knew that he must know about the Eighteen Needles of Compassion, so he was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he slowly placed dozens of silver needles in front of Jin Wen.
"Before we begin, I can reveal something. I once used the Eighteen Needles of Mercy on a demon cultivator. I thought he could at least withstand eight needles, but he couldn't hold on after just five. He blurted out everything he should and shouldn't have said. Even after I removed all the needles, he begged to die, never wanting to fall into my hands again."
"How many stitches do you think you can hold?"
Jin Wen looked nervous. His reason told him that he should compromise at this time and stop insisting on some unrealistic hopes. However, he still felt unwilling in his heart and felt that he could not give up like this, so he still chose to remain silent.
Shen Qi smiled when he saw this.
"Very good, now that you are ready, let's get started."
As Shen Qi inserted a silver needle into Jin Wen's chest, Jin Wen couldn't help but let out a scream.
The pain of the first injection was far beyond Jin Wen's imagination. Even though he was prepared, he still couldn't bear it the first time.
Shen Qi waved his right hand, and a stream of spiritual energy blocked out Jin Wen's voice. He didn't want to be disturbed while giving acupuncture.
I finally have the opportunity to use the Eighteen Needles of Mercy, how can I give up so easily?
