Chapter 740: Torture On the Execution Stage

In the city, a loud shout sounded, followed by a silhouette flying over at high speeds. The person was initially ten kilometers away from the northern city gate, but in less than five minutes he had reached it. He was dressed in white and had white hair. He was a decrepit elder, and it was none other than the Medical Sect leader Jiang Pingzhou. The northern city gate was guarded by the Medical Sect. Once something happened there, he would immediately come to investigate.

“Mo Wen, you little b*st*rd! We have searched everywhere for you and now you just show up by chance. Since you came to die on your own accord, then don’t even think of ever leaving.”

Jiang Pingzhou had wondered who would dare to so brazenly cause problems at the northern city gate, or whether the remnants of the Intentionless Sect had come to stir up problems. But he had not imagined that Mo Wen had actually come to Intentionless City.

Since they had left the Tan Zi Beast Lair, they had brought together the various large factions in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension to search for the whereabouts of Mo Wen. They had even captured all the members of the Intentionless Sect, and let out leaked the news to threaten Mo Wen. But a week had passed and there had been no news of him at all. Many people were suspecting whether he had already left the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Now, just as everyone was losing their patience, Mo Wen had come knocking at their door.

“Jiang Pingzhou.” Mo Wen stood on the city wall, his hands behind his back. He narrowed his eyes slightly. A dangerous aura flashed in the gaze that he gave Jiang Pingzhou.

“Little b*st*rd, originally we thought that you had abandoned the Intentionless Sect. Who would have thought that you would come seeking your own death? Such camaraderie! It’s a shame that foolish people like you are doomed to meet their demise.”

Why else would Mo Wen come to Intentionless City if not for the Intentionless Sect? Initially, they had thought that Mo Wen would not risk coming and had long escaped. Some people even judged Mo Wen to be cold, cruel, decisive and cunning. Everyone knew he was a rather dangerous person. He would certainly be a threat to the various sects.

“Whether or not I will meet my doom, I do not know; but I do know that you will certainly not live past today,” Mo Wen said plainly.

“I know that you are very powerful, but in this city, there is no shortage of people who are more powerful than you. Could it be that you truly believe that you are invincible?” Jiang Pingzhou coldly laughed. With a flick of his finger, a purple signal flare shot up to the sky. This signal flare was the highest level of alert. It was only to be used when they encountered Mo Wen. After a short while, a large number of strong practitioners would arrive. Then, it would certainly be hard for Mo Wen to escape.

In reality, the moment Jiang Pingzhou appeared at the northern city gate, he noticed that something was off. The Cold Qi emanating from Mo Wen’s body was too strong. Even Jiang Pingzhou could not withstand it. Before this, he already knew that Mo Wen was very powerful, but right now, the youth’s strength had grown exponentially.

Jiang Pingzhou was not afraid. There was no shortage of strong practitioners in Intentionless City. Even if he was no match for Mo Wen, there would be someone else who was.

“Young master Mo, you’d better run. There are indeed many experts in Intentionless City. Many absolute strong practitioners that have been in seclusion have here gathered one by one. The strongest force in the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension has gathered in Intentionless City.” Zou Guangbo laughed bitterly. He had been hiding for many days and understood the situation in Intentionless City very well.

When the strong practitioners, who had been in seclusion for more than ten years and even a few decades, appeared, Zou Guangbo realized that something big had happened and that there was no chance of salvation for the Intentionless Sect. He did not know what outrageous things Mo Wen had done to stir up such a disturbance.

“Really? Then, let them all come. That way, I don’t have to find them one by one.” Mo Wen looked at the purple flare in the sky above. His eyes sparkled with cold light. The Cold Qi emanating from his body was immediately retracted. His entire person suddenly seemed normal. It was like he was an ordinary person; only his eyes were deep and quiet. When he looked at someone, the person would suddenly feel a mountain-like pressure on them.

Mo Wen turned his head and looked at Jiang Pingzhou. “It’s a shame that no matter how many strong practitioners there are in Intentionless City, you will not last until they arrive,” he said.

“What do you plan to do?” Jiang Pingzhou was shocked. His body tensed up and he looked at Mo Wen with a serious expression. Could it be that Mo Wen was preparing to kill him before the other strong practitioners arrived? “Mo Wen, your arrogance knows no bounds. You are indeed powerful, but you will not find it easy to kill me.” Jiang Pingzhou laughed coldly again. Mo Wen was indeed very powerful, even more powerful than he was. He had already experienced Mo Wen’s strength in the Underground Palace. But for Mo Wen to say that he was going to kill Jiang Pingzhou was too arrogant. Jiang Pingzhou was the sect leader of the Medical Sect and had been renowned in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension for a century. How would this youth be able to easily kill him?

“Really?” Mo Wen asked. Then, he extended a hand and grabbed Jiang Pingzhou. An utterly terrifying aura suddenly exploded from his body as the Cold Qi instantly reached its pinnacle. A dark palm the size of a building suddenly appeared above Jiang Pingzhou’s head.

Jiang Pingzhou’s expression changed. He felt a terrifying pressure descend from above. The aura was enough to make his soul shiver in fear. His body trembled uncontrollably from top to bottom. He looked at Mo Wen in disbelief. So powerful! How was it possible? How could he possibly be this powerful?

Within the area the dark hand covered, everything seemed to be frozen solid. Even space and time seemed to have stopped. Jiang Pingzhou stood foolishly at his original spot. He felt as though his soul had left his body. He could not control his body anymore. He was even unable to blink.

“I would like to see who dares to annihilate the Intentionless Sect. Who has made you so confident?” Mo Wen waved his hand. A black Qi swept up Zou Guangbo who was already wide-eyed and open-mouthed in shock. A black light flashed and his person appeared a kilometer away. In a few flashes, he had appeared in the inner city at the center of Intentionless City. This was where the headquarters of the Intentionless Sect was located and was the foundation of the Intentionless Sect.

The huge dark hand, still clenching Jiang Pingzhou tightly, was followed by Mo Wen all the way. Jiang Pingzhou’s eyes were dull. He was still able to think but could not even move his eyes.

In the Intentionless Sect, in the center square before the Mindfulness Hall, there were more than ten stone pillars erected. On top of each stone pillar was a cross, and on top of every cross was a prisoner. Sect leader Chen Wuhui, deputy sect leader Chen Zikuang, and all the other elders and important sect members of the Intentionless Sect were nailed to the crosses. The stone pillars were laid out in a semi-circle around the center square.

Before the stone pillars, an execution stage had been temporarily erected. On the execution stage, more than ten ancient martial art practitioners dressed in Intentionless Sect garbs were kneeling. They wore cangues, and their feet were shackled.

In front of the execution stage, there was another raised platform where a few ancient martial art practitioners sat. The leader was the Weapon Forging Sect sect leader, Jiang Jingtao. He was smiling coldly as he looked at the prisoners below. “At noon, you will all die,” he said. “You did not need to die and did not need to be separated from your loved ones. But because of Mo Wen, because of Mo Wen alone and the trouble he has caused, you all must die. Do you all not hate him? You will not let him go for this even when you become ghosts, right? Haha…” Jiang Jingtao laughed hideously. His eyes were full of hatred and cruelty. He could barely stop himself from killing all of the people before him stroke by stroke.

Jiang Jingtao looked even gloomier now than he had before. His expression was even more malicious. He looked as though everyone owed him money. However, beneath his callousness, he seemed obviously more haggard than before. His long sideburns appeared whiter.

Jiang Jingtao’s hatred towards Mo Wen and the Intentionless Sect could not be cleansed even with all the water from the three main rivers. After he returned to the Weapon Forging Sect, he had discovered that Yan Tao, his deputy sect leader, had died at the hands of the Intentionless Sect and Mo Wen. Even his son, whom he had placed such high hopes in, had been crippled by Mo Wen.

At that moment, he almost lost his mind. Jiang Gujian was his only son and the only successor of his bloodline. Moreover, Jiang Gujian was talented and had reached the Golden Elixir Realm at a young age. It was highly possible for Jiang Gujian to reach the pinnacle of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, the true pinnacle for an ancient martial art practitioner. His son was now a cripple. His son had become disabled and could only lie on the bed and await death. How could Jiang Jingtao not be enraged by it?

If the Five Beasts Sect and the Purple Qi Pavilion had not stopped him, Jiang Jingtao would have exterminated the Intentionless Sect long ago. He would have killed everyone, including the animals.

Jiang Jingtao hated Mo Wen even more than he hated the Intentionless Sect. If it was not because of Mo Wen, Jiang Gujian would not be crippled and many things would not have happened. If Mo Wen had not joined the battle, the Intentionless Sect would not have had the ability to kill his deputy sect leader. Everything that had gone wrong was down to that little b*st*rd, Mo Wen.

Not only did Jiang Jingtao want to kill the Intentionless Sect members, but he also wanted to torture them. He wanted them to hate him and hate Mo Wen even more. Jiang Jingtao wanted the Intentionless Sect members to hate Mo Wen, that b*st*rd, even when they had become ghosts.

The members of the Intentionless Sect knelt on the stage. Their facial expressions varied. Some looked unyielding, some were trembling in fear, yet most of them looked bitter and felt that they were wronged.

In reality, after Jiang Jingtao’s instigation these past few days, most of the Intentionless Sect members now did hate Mo Wen. It was because they believed that Mo Wen was the one who threw them under the bus.

Unlike the upper echelons of the Intentionless Sect, the common disciples did not know who saved the Intentionless Sect before this. They did not know that Mo Wen had stopped them from being exterminated. They only knew that right now, their tribulation was caused by Mo Wen.

“Are you scared? Are you terrified? You hate him, right? Exactly! All of you should indeed hate Mo Wen. That b*st*rd ruined everything you had. He caused your families to break up. He caused your lives to be worse than death. Haha…”

“Nonsense.” On the stone pillar at the very center, a cold snort suddenly sounded.

Jiang Jingtao’s expression turned sullen. He narrowed his eyes; his gaze shot across the stage and stared at the stone pillar in the middle. On the stone pillar was an elder dressed in ragged clothes. The elder’s body was covered in wounds and bloodstains. His hair was messy and his face was swollen. His aura was weak. Clearly, he had suffered extreme torture. This person was none other than the Intentionless Sect leader, Chen Wuhui.

“Old b*st*rd Chen, you still will not say it even though you are already at the brink of death. Since you are concealing Mo Wen’s whereabouts, I am rather curious to know how you would feel about seeing your sect members being killed off one by one in front of you. Senior Hui Ling has already told you that if you tell us Mo Wen’s whereabouts, we will let the Intentionless Sect go. Why would you rather go through this suffering?”
