"Didn't you hear what the princess just said?" Qi Guze stared coldly at the corpse on the ground and said to the guard beside him, "Drag him away, chop him up and feed him to the dogs."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The guards quickly dragged the body away.
Upon hearing this, the other members of the Shadow Alliance felt a little unsettled, but they gritted their teeth and didn't reveal the information they wanted.
These people were already prepared to die and had no intention of returning alive.
Qi Guze noticed that Xu Yuehuai's face was somewhat pale, so he walked over to her, took the whip from her hand, and handed it to someone nearby to put away.
"Since they are unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of the little princess, there's no need for you to handle the rest. Just send Gui Yi over."
Pei Xuan then sent someone to fetch the Ghost Doctor.
Gui Yi and Xia Sen arrived here.
Without waiting for Qi Guze to say anything, the Ghost Doctor knew what he had to do.
The ghost doctor took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, which contained a kind of Gu worm that could torture people.
He threw the fat Gu worm onto one of the Shadow Alliance members.
The man suddenly felt as if something had burrowed into his skin, then entered his flesh and blood, burrowing and crawling until it reached his bones, gnawing at them. The sensation was extremely painful.
"Ah—! If you're going to kill me, just do it. Don't resort to such despicable methods to torture me."
"When you hurt a little girl, didn't you ever think about showing any mercy?"
Xia Sen squatted in front of that person and spoke coldly.
Xu Yuehuai noticed that Xia Sen's aura had changed, and he seemed to have become even more indifferent. She knew that this was definitely because of the little princess, so she thought that she must find the little princess as soon as possible, otherwise Xia Sen would probably become even more cold-blooded and ruthless.
"Ah—! The law of the jungle, that's just the way things are. That little princess is probably dead by now."
"Even if you torture me to death, you will never get any news about her."
"After I die, others will naturally come to avenge me, and you will definitely not leave the martial arts kingdom alive."
Even in such agony, this person had no intention of revealing the little princess's whereabouts.
He eventually died because he couldn't endure the most painful pain.
His body had been gnawed away by the Gu worms; most of his face and bones had been eaten away, and his body was covered in blood, making him look particularly disgusting.
When Xu Yuehuai saw this scene, she quickly turned her head away and began to gag repeatedly.
Seeing Xu Yuehuai in such distress, Qi Guze put his arm around her shoulder and led her into the house next door.
"Pei Xuan, Duan Nian, I'm leaving this matter to you. I need to find out the little princess's whereabouts before dawn."
Pei Xuan and the others nodded.
Then, the Ghost Doctor continued to use other Gu worms to interrogate the living members of the Shadow Alliance.
The Shadow Alliance members were not like a solid rock; some of them were like a pile of loose sand. After being tormented by the Gu worms, they could no longer bear it and revealed the information they knew.
"Stop torturing me, I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"The little princess is in one of our camps."
"That garrison is located thirty miles east of the city."
Xia Sen tapped the man's face with his dagger, leaving a bloody mark.
"I hope you're not lying, otherwise your pain will be a thousand times, ten thousand times greater than it is now."
"My lord, please believe me. I would never dare to deceive you."
The man immediately kowtowed to Xia Sen and begged for mercy.
The Shadow Alliance members beside him tried to stop him, but they were also suffering terribly and only wanted to die.
They were powerless to stop it and could only accept it.
However, they were still extremely angry, never expecting that someone would betray them.
After Pei Xuan and the others learned of this, they immediately killed all the Shadow Alliance members on the ground.
The entire courtyard was splattered with blood; the artificial hills and flowers were all covered in bright red.
After all these people were silenced, Pei Xuan ordered his men to chop up their corpses and feed them to the dogs.
After all, this was what Xu Yuehua wanted, and Qi Guze would definitely indulge her.
After returning to the house, Xu Yuehuai fell asleep due to feeling unwell.
Qi Guze stayed by her side the whole time, holding her close and sleeping with her.
The next day, the two of them went outside to sit in the courtyard, and Pei Xuan told them about the things he had interrogated them about that morning.
"In that case, have the men we sent out quickly assemble outside the city and head to the Shadow Alliance's encampment."
"Perhaps those people already know what happened to them and are trying to escape."
"Now we must speed things up and capture them as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan and his group immediately took action.
Just as these guards were setting out to rescue the little princess, a summons came from the Wulin Kingdom's palace.
"Grand Preceptor, His Majesty requests your presence!"
The emperor of Wulin Kingdom was unaware of Qi Guze's true identity; he was actually the former regent of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and mistakenly believed him to be the national advisor of his country.
Wearing his previous mask, Qi Guze left the palace after hearing the summons.
During this time, he stayed in the mansion under the pretext of cooperating with Xu Yuehuai to suppress the rebel party.
I reckon the emperor of Wulin Kingdom must be looking for him right now; he has some urgent business to attend to.
As Qi Guze left, he secretly gave Xu Yuehuai a hand gesture, telling her not to worry and to stay there safely.
Xu Yuehuai watched his departing figure with great concern, biting her lip, but there was nothing she could do.
After all, although she has helped the martial arts world a lot, she still has to be careful.
I wonder if the emperor of Wulin Kingdom will change his mind and decide to take action against them?
No one is the same as always, and never changes.
Moreover, the emperor of the Wulin Kingdom is the ruler of a country!
After Qi Guze followed the palace staff into the Wulin Kingdom's palace, he was detained by His Majesty the Emperor.
"You've done very well these past few days, but have you forgotten what your primary duty is?"
"The Imperial Preceptor's Tower has been deserted for a long time. Imperial Preceptor, it's time for you to go back."
The emperor of Wulin Kingdom looked at Qi Guze with a forced smile.
Qi Guze could only bow silently, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Immediately afterwards, Qi Guze was taken to the Imperial Preceptor's Tower and imprisoned there.
