When the man in white transformed Yin Ming into a woman with a slender figure, Yin Ming remained relatively calm.
But when he took 'her' to the Demon Sect's Rewards and Punishments Department and tied her up, Yin Ming really panicked.
Yin Ming finally understood the meaning behind the white-clad man's mocking gaze at the end.
And then there's that line, "I'll return to you the full and complete pain you once inflicted on him"...
Looking at the table not far away, covered with torture instruments, what else couldn't he understand?!
Now that things had come to this, Yin Ming could only close his eyes anxiously, forcing himself not to look or think about it.
Good, good, good! As expected of the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, you really know what he fears most!
Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, this villain from the original story will ultimately die in the same way as in the original novel...
This reminded Yin Ming of the saying, "What goes around comes around"... What goes around comes around.
Well, if he could die at Lingyao's hands in the same way, Yin Ming's guilt would be lessened to some extent.
I just hope that this damned incarnation of the Heavenly Dao will never let Ling Yao know that the Sixth Elder at this moment is Yin Ming...
Yin Ming really didn't want Ling Yao to be sad anymore, after all, he had already suffered too much, far too much...
***
The torture chamber of the Department of Rewards and Punishments was dark and gloomy. After an unknown amount of time, the door of the torture chamber creaked open.
With his limbs bound by chains, Yin Ming struggled to lift his head. The newcomers were none other than Ling Geng, disguised as a man in white, and Ling Yao, who exuded a chilling aura.
Yin Ming stared intently at Ling Yao's face, but the light was too dim to see clearly.
A wave of bitterness and resentment suddenly welled up in my heart.
Even in his last moments, he wouldn't be allowed to see Lingyao one last time...
That damned embodiment of Heaven's Way truly knows how to kill someone and destroy their spirit!
The man in white glanced at Yin Ming, took out a sheet of Xuan paper from his sleeve, and respectfully presented it to Ling Yao.
"Sect Master, this piece of paper that records all the punishments Yin Ming inflicted on you... was written by this woman."
Lingyao reached out and took the sheet of Xuan paper, slowly crumpling it into pieces. His upright posture remained unchanged, his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him.
Seeing this, Yin Ming couldn't help but give a wry smile.
How could he possibly forget those tortures that once caused him unbearable pain... they must have left an indelible mark on his heart long ago.
After a long silence, Lingyao finally moved.
He walked to the table full of torture instruments, picked one up casually, and then walked step by step toward Yin Ming.
As he approached step by step with the instruments of torture, Yin Ming's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
But he forced himself to suppress his fear, resigned himself to his fate, closed his eyes, and waited for the pain to come.
"It's what I owe you..." Yin Ming silently thought to himself. "These are all things I should bear."
...
But after waiting for a long time, the expected pain never came.
Yin Ming couldn't help but cautiously lift his eyes to check the current situation. He saw Ling Yao standing a meter in front of him, completely hidden in the darkness, and his emotions were unreadable.
"Elder, come and help me." Lingyao's voice suddenly came from the darkness.
The man in white responded and obediently stepped forward to take the torture instruments that Lingyao handed him.
"After thinking about it, I still think it would be better to send you on your way with this Spirit Inscription Sword," Ling Yao said calmly.
Yin Ming frowned, somewhat puzzled by Ling Yao's actions.
Could it be because he felt that Yin Ming also had a part in the Spirit Sword, and that using it to kill the Sixth Elder would also comfort Yin Ming's spirit in heaven?
This seems to be the only explanation at the moment...
"Today I will use you to pay tribute to the souls of the dead!"
Lingyao's tone was chilling as he swiftly swept his hand across the blade of the Lingming Sword, beginning to offer his blood as a sacrifice to the sword.
Yin Ming stared in astonishment at the ever-growing Primordial True Qi on the Spirit Cry Sword, its light illuminating the entire torture chamber as bright as day.
If this earth-shattering sword strike had landed on Yin Ming, he would probably have vanished on the spot, leaving not even a trace behind.
He might not even have had time to suffer before he died.
Letting him die like this... wouldn't that be too easy on him?
The man in white seemed to realize this was inappropriate and urgently advised:
"Sect Master, you're being far too soft-hearted with this kind of person..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lingyao's Lingming Sword changed direction and stabbed towards his heart!
The man in white sensed the danger and shifted his body to the right in time, thus avoiding a fatal blow.
But the Spirit Cry Sword still pierced his shoulder. As Ling Yao pulled the sword out, the white-robed man's shoulder was immediately soaked with gushing blood, and half of his upper garment was stained red.
The man in white clutched his wound, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Sect Master...why?"
Lingyao swiftly severed the chains binding Yin Ming's limbs, pulled him into her arms, and raised her sword, pointing it at the white-clad man's face.
"The acting was pretty good, but unfortunately... it wasn't enough to fool me."
With the chains gone, Yin Ming realized his legs were incredibly weak. Luckily, Ling Yao caught him, preventing him from falling to the ground.
"How did you find out?" the man in white asked, his tone full of resentment.
The surrounding scenery suddenly flickered a few times, and then crashed down in fragments of light, revealing the original Forbidden Forest.
As the illusion disappeared, the white-robed man and Yin Ming's appearances returned to normal.
