Chapter 158: Using the Yin King to Offer Sacrifices to the Gods
It was night time and the Yin Palace was very quiet. The Yin King always stayed up late at night, so the guards and eunuchs were not allowed to get close. Therefore, the Qin family hid in the darkness. They were all wearing black night clothes. Before these people could react, they were already behind the man, and then the long sword was placed on the man's neck. The next moment, the guard and the eunuch didn't even make a sound. Blood spurted out of their necks, and then they fell softly to the ground.
To prevent these people from falling and making noise, everyone dragged them up and then slowly placed them on the ground.
Not only was Liu Wen used to this action, but the Qin family was also accustomed to it. After witnessing what Prince Liang did with their own eyes, everyone knew that the people around the prince were also executioners, and none of them were innocent. After all, it was impossible for a prince to arrest so many people, and it would be impossible without someone's help.
Therefore, everyone acted ruthlessly, and everyone had human lives on their hands. The weapons given to the Qin family by the Dragon King Canglang were now stained with blood. Of course, these were magical weapons, and even if they were stained with human blood, they would disappear in an instant, as if they were new.
Father Qin glanced at his granddaughter and was a little worried about Qin Taohua's condition, but he didn't expect that Qin Taohua's face was gloomy and she was not scared at all by such blood. Even the youngest Qin Meir came along this time. Originally, the Qin family planned to keep Qin Meir at home and let Qin Lang take care of her. As a result, no one expected that Qin Meir would follow secretly.
She was also someone who had seen tens of thousands of corpses with her own eyes. Although she was already eleven years old this year, she no longer feared the dead and blood.
Everyone was in perfect tacit understanding. They killed their way from the back of Prince Yin's mansion, killing all the eunuchs and guards in the rear house, leaving only the women who had no ability to resist.
After asking a maid, everyone learned about the bedroom where King Yin was. They then learned that King Yin had a palace specially used for torturing people. He would torture women there every night. Because he was poisoned by a Gu, he hated the women in Lingzhou and kept searching for beautiful women to torture. Even the mass grave outside King Yin's mansion was full of women's corpses.
Everyone groped over, then hid behind the room, and then quietly arrived at the palace. They saw huge gauze curtains floating in the palace, all of which were a strange red color. Liu Wen led everyone from the Qin family into the palace, hiding behind the gauze curtains, and heard a woman's scream.
"ah!!!!"
The painful voice screamed like a ghost, as if it was experiencing unprecedented pain.
"Scream, you scream so beautifully. Look at your beautiful face. I'll also iron some words on it later. You'll definitely like it!"
Through the gauze curtain, everyone saw a man in a red robe in the center of the hall. The man had become very charming, with a red flower in his hair. He looked at a woman tied to a rack with jealousy. The woman was naked and tied tightly to the rack with ropes. The man, King Yin Gao Kun, actually pressed a red-hot iron directly on the woman's chest. There seemed to be a smell of burning flesh in the air, with a smell of charcoal.
This scene was truly horrific. It wasn't just this woman; there were actually six racks in the hall, all of which held women, each branded...
When Qin Taohua saw all this, her eyes were filled with anger. She rushed out almost the next moment, and swung the sharp blade in her hand towards the man.
The man was startled and immediately used the branding iron in his hand to block Qin Taohua, but Qin Taohua had a magic weapon in her hand and directly cut off the branding iron. Then he heard the voice of King Yin.
“Help! Help! There’s an assassin! There’s an assassin!!”
He shouted wildly, trying to stop Qin Taohua's moves, but Qin Taohua was faster. Although she had not studied martial arts seriously, she had magical weapons in her hands. In addition, she had taken a lot of elixirs. With the blessing of various elixirs, killing King Yin was just a piece of cake.
But the next moment, Qin Taohua turned the sword and slashed directly in another direction, scaring King Yin so much that he panicked and stretched out his hand to block Qin Taohua's sword. The result is self-evident.
"ah!!!!!"
A sharper cry of pain resounded throughout the Prince Yin's Mansion. A hand instantly flew up. Qin Taohua chopped off one of Prince Yin's hands, splattering a lot of blood. He took several steps back and fell to the ground uncontrollably. The other hand immediately grabbed the bleeding arm.
"My hand... my hand... my hand..."
This scene happened almost in an instant, so even King Yin did not react. The other members of the Qin family quickly used their magic weapons to sweep down the gauze curtains in the palace, and then covered the women on the shelves with these gauze curtains. Liu Wen also went to help and untied the ropes tied behind the backs of these injured women. She saw these women falling limply to the ground, and it was too late to support them even if they tried.
"My hand... my hand..."
King Yin was still shouting in pain, but when he saw this group of men in black, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"There's an assassin... there's an assassin..."
He shouted loudly, hoping that his people would come to rescue him, but the fact was that everyone had been killed by the Qin family, so no one would come even if he shouted at the top of his lungs.
Qin Taohua was so angry that she quickly took out the magic medicine that Qin Lang had given her before. This medicine could save a person's life. As long as a person was still holding on to a breath before dying, he would not die after taking this magic medicine.
She didn't care about King Yin's affairs, and walked over directly, feeding the magical medicine in the bottle to the injured women one by one.
"Are they okay? Still alive?"
Only then did Qin Taohua see that one of the women had no intact skin on her body. Every inch of her skin on her face, neck and body was torn apart by the branding iron. There were all kinds of horrifying words on her body. This scene was heartbreaking for Qin Taohua.
She thought that she had almost ended up in the same situation, but she had just arrived. Seeing this woman suffer, Qin Taohua couldn't help crying.
Fang Xiaohe and Qin Meir were already in tears, as were Qin's mother. They were all women, and seeing the injuries on these women's bodies, they were heartbroken. They hugged these women and covered them with gauze. Qin's father and several men did not look at these women, fearing to cause them new injuries, and directly surrounded King Yin.
"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you. It's okay, it will be okay."
Qin Taohua said this with a sob, looking at the woman in her arms who seemed to have finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her bloody figure and the smell of blood were strong. She opened her eyes, saw Qin Taohua, and heard her words.
"Save...save us?"
Only with the magic medicine could their lives be saved. Qin Taohua burst into tears instantly and sobbed in despair.
"Yes, I am here to save you. I want to kill King Yin! Kill King Yin!!!"
She said this with hatred, but she didn't want to see King Yin die so easily. She let the woman lean against the pillar beside her and rushed directly to the stove. What was burning in the stove was the branding iron that King Yin had just used to torture the woman.
There were a lot of these branding irons, with words on them. They were all specially customized by the King of Yin to torture women. He used these branding irons to burn people to death.
Now Qin Taohua almost lost her mind. She picked up one of the branding irons and rushed to King Yin. Her movements were so fast that when King Yin had no reaction, the red branding iron was instantly imprinted on his face.
"ah!!!!!"
King Yin howled in pain and wanted to dodge, but Qin Taohua was very strong and he couldn't avoid it at all. He let the branding iron make a crackling sound on his face, and his skin was burned and smelled of burning. The scene was simply terrifying.
However, several women woke up because of the pain from King Yin's voice. They looked at King Yin's painful wails with burning eyes, and tears finally fell.
Liu Wen was also extremely disgusted with this man. It was despicable for anyone to vent his pain on the weak.
The King of Yin is a pervert. He actually killed people in such a way! This is simply a heinous crime!
"Can you help me up?"
The woman Liu Wen was hugging suddenly spoke. Liu Wen nodded immediately and helped the woman up, but found that the woman wanted Liu Wen to help her to the stove, and then took out a branding iron from it.
Having taken the magic medicine, she regained some strength, as if she were experiencing a last gasp of life. She then walked directly from Liu Wen to King Yin. Seeing King Yin howling, she imitated Qin Taohua and branded him with the iron!
"Beast! Beast!! Die!!! Die!!!!!!"
She was not even good at swearing and could only repeat this sentence. At this time, Qin's father and several other people controlled King Yin directly to the ground. King Yin wailed in pain but could not resist. He could not even move on the ground. The veil on the woman's body fell off, but she did not care. She just used force again and again, and branded the iron into King Yin's chest to avenge herself.
The other women seemed to have regained their strength as well. Seeing this, they also stood up. No one stopped them from seeking revenge.
So these women who had been hurt by King Yin raised their branding irons one by one and returned the pain to King Yin.
One of the women actually pulled down King Yin's pants and hit his lower body with the branding iron. At this moment, the whole palace was filled with King Yin's crazy screams and cries. The man in pain wished he could die immediately, but unfortunately, he didn't have the courage to die, so he could only keep screaming and struggling, like a lamb on the chopping board.
"We can't just kill him. King Yin must die at the hands of the gods, but we can't let him have it too easy either."
Liu Wen watched all this without stopping it. She even held the hand of one of the women and helped her.
"This will make him even more uncomfortable."
Branding is just the simplest punishment. Liu Wen has experienced troubled times and knows many ways to make people want to live but cannot, and want to die but cannot, so she said with a smile.
"Tonight, we will offer sacrifices to the gods under the order of the Yin King. We will chop off his hands and feet, remove his limbs, and let him feel all of this while he's still alive. Don't you enjoy abusing women? The god we are offering sacrifices to today is the god who protects women. King Yin, are you ready?"
