The woman kept kowtowing to Lin Bai and begging for help.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, if Lin Bai hadn't known something about her, he would have been confused by her innocent appearance.
A jailer in official uniform flew over and landed heavily on the woman with a hybrid whip. There was a snap, blood spattered everywhere, and the woman was beaten to pieces.
"Ah..." A shrill scream came from the woman's mouth, and the sound was so creepy.
"Bold!" the jailer shouted sharply, and then he whipped the woman several times until she lay dying on the ground.
If the jailer had used more force, he probably could have beaten the woman to death on the spot.
But the jailer did not do this. Instead, he gave her a breath and waited for her to recover before continuing to whip her.
This kind of whipping seems to have no effect.
But what if it is whipping for many years?
Warriors, especially those who have reached the Taoist realm or above, have a lifespan of five to ten thousand years.
The flogging that lasted five years and ten thousand years left the warrior with only one breath left, then waited for her to recover, and then beat her again... Such reincarnations devastate people's hearts.
No matter how strong a person's Taoist heart is, his Taoist heart can be slowly worn away by this kind of torture over many years.
But this kind of flogging is the simplest punishment in purgatory.
Penalties that are more cruel than flogging are everywhere in purgatory.
"I apologize for disturbing Your Highness, Your Highness and Lord Langhou!"
The jailer beat the woman half to death, then turned around quickly and knelt down to apologize to Lin Bai and His Highness Prince Chen.
"It doesn't matter." His Highness Prince Chen waved his hand, ignored it, and continued to move forward with Lin Bai and the warriors of the Blood Dragon Legion.
The woman looked at Lin Bai's retreating figure with tears of despair in her eyes.
"Where do we go now?"
After flying for a while, Lin Bai discovered that the first level of Purgatory was extremely vast and boundless, and he had not yet reached the boundary of the first level.
Lin Bai estimated that...this purgatory was probably a "ruin world" locked up by the Chu State using great supernatural powers, and specially transformed to be used to detain prisoners.
"It's right in front." Zhu Mo answered for His Royal Highness Prince Chen, "The 'Guarding Department' on the first floor of Purgatory is just ahead."
The Purgatory Warden Department is responsible for guarding the prisoners in Purgatory.
There are nine floors in purgatory, and each floor has a supervisory department.
Their duty is to torture prisoners in purgatory and prevent mortals from escaping.
as expected.
Not long after Zhu Mo finished speaking, Lin Bai saw a group of towering mountains in front of him.
Between the mountains, there is an extremely powerful magic circle to protect you.
Above the group, palaces were built one after another, and many jailers were busy coming and going inside.
Zhu Mo came outside the Supervisory Department, took out the command token of the Zhaoxing Department, opened the magic circle, and led Lin Bai, His Royal Highness King Chen and others inside.
Zhu Mo opened the magic circle with the token of the commander of the Zhaoxing Division, and the chief of the Supervisory Division on the first floor of Purgatory immediately sensed the news and flew over to greet him.
From within the mountains, dozens of strong men with strong auras immediately appeared in front of Lin Bai, His Highness King Chen and others.
"Hunyuan!"
Lin Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he discovered that the lowest cultivation levels of these twelve strong men were all at the Hunyuan Daoguo realm!
"I've seen Commander Zhu Mo..." These twelve Hunyuan warriors raised their hands and saluted Zhu Mo, but before they finished speaking, they saw His Highness Prince Chen from the corner of their eyes and hurriedly came to see him, "Purgatory Supervisor Secretary
, pay homage to His Highness King Chen, and pay homage to Marquis Lang."
"Uncle Wang, there is no need to be polite." His Highness Prince Chen said with a smile on his face as he raised his hands to an old man among the twelve strong men.
at the same time.
His Royal Highness King Chen also introduced Lin Bai: "Brother Lin, this is my uncle Wang. His title in the royal family is 'Prince Yu'."
Lin Bai raised his head and looked at Prince Yu.
This person looked to be only middle-aged, tall and strong, exuding a powerful aura, but his face was unusually fair, he was wearing a long gown and a feather scarf, and he had a rather bookish air.
"This must be Mr. Wolf Marquis." Prince Yu cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Although I was in purgatory back then, I have long heard of the reputation of Mr. Wolf Marquis."
Lin Bai cupped his hands and said, "Junior Lin Bai, I have met Prince Yu."
Prince Yu smiled kindly and said, "No need to be polite."
Immediately.
Prince Yu brought the topic back to the main topic and asked His Royal Highness Prince Chen: "Jun You, my brother's birthday is approaching now. If you are not preparing for your birthday in the imperial capital, why are you here in Purgatory?"
His Highness King Chen said: "We have captured a serious criminal and we have come here to hand it over to Uncle Wang for personal trial. We hope to get him to speak as soon as possible and tell him the information he wants."
Prince Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Jingzhi, who was held in Lin Bai's hand, intentionally or unintentionally, "Is this the person?"
His Highness King Chen nodded, "Exactly."
Prince Yu asked curiously: "Is there any important information on this person?"
His Highness King Chen glanced at Lin Bai and motioned for Lin Bai to speak.
Lin Bai understood in his heart and immediately said, "Your Majesty, this person's name is Xia Jingzhi, and he is a disciple of the Worm Valley in Southern Xinjiang."
"Thousands of years ago, Nanjiang Worm Valley issued a Demon Realm pursuit order for Xia Jingzhi. The reason was that he betrayed Nanjiang Worm Valley. This man could no longer stay in the Southern Territory and ran to the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm and came to the Imperial Capital.
"
Prince Yu frowned, "Since he is a traitor to the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley, wouldn't it be better to leave it to the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley to deal with it?"
"It just so happens that the mission from the Worm Valley in Southern Xinjiang is also in the Imperial Capital, isn't it?"
"It would be nice if things were really that simple." Lin Bai took a deep breath and continued: "But after our investigation, we found that after Xia Jingzhi came to the imperial capital, he took refuge with the third prince."
"And Xia Jingzhi poisoned the eldest prince and the second prince with the 'divine calamity' contained in the 'seventy-five king poisons' formula stolen from the Insect Valley in southern Xinjiang!"
When Prince Yu heard this, his eyes narrowed violently, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and he stared at Xia Jingzhi, "How dare you harm the heirs of the royal family?"
"What a courage."
Lin Bai gave a wry smile, "His courage is more than that."
Prince Yu was stunned for a moment, "Is there anything else more serious than killing the prince?"
"Of course there is." Lin Bai nodded and said, "While I was investigating this matter, perhaps the news leaked and the third prince hid Xia Jingzhi."
"My lord, guess where Xia Jingzhi is hiding in the imperial capital?"
Prince Yu thought about it seriously and shook his head blankly, "I don't know. I'd like to ask Mr. Langhou to clarify his doubts."
Lin Bai said: "In the guesthouse in the Worm Valley of Southern Xinjiang."
"What!" Prince Yu was stunned, "Isn't Xia Jingzhi a traitor to Nanjiang Worm Valley? He is hiding in the guesthouse of Nanjiang Worm Valley, so he is not afraid that Nanjiang Worm Valley will discover his traces?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Prince Yu immediately had a look of sudden enlightenment and asked Lin Bai: "Could it be that... Xia Jingzhi did not betray Nanjiang Worm Valley, and all this was a play between Xia Jingzhi and Nanjiang Worm Valley?
?”
Lin Bai said: "On the way to capture Xia Jingzhi tonight, Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley also sent many experts to rescue him."
"What happened specifically depends on the prince's methods and whether he can be made to say something."
Prince Yu took a deep breath and said: "If Xia Jingzhi did not betray Nanjiang Worm Valley, and all this was their plan, then Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley was interfering in the internal affairs of Chu State."
"This is a big taboo in Chu State."
"Xia Jingzhi poisoned the eldest prince and the second prince again in Chu State, and once again provoked the majesty of Chu State."
Prince Yu glanced at Lin Bai and His Highness Prince Chen, "I know the seriousness of this matter. Please rest assured His Highness Prince Chen and Lord Lang, I will pry his mouth open as quickly as possible."
"Come here, take Xia Jingzhi to the fifth floor, and order the chief of the fifth-floor supervisory department to interrogate him overnight. Within half a month, I want to get all his memories and information."
His Highness King Chen said to Lin Bai: "Since Uncle Wang is in charge, there should be no mistakes."
"Brother Lin, let's go."
Lin Bai solemnly said to Prince Yu: "Your Majesty, I'm done."
Prince Yu nodded and smiled, "I am a member of the royal family, and my duty and mission is to protect the territory of Chu."
"No need to say thank you."
"If you want to say thank you, I should thank you on behalf of the royal family. After all, this matter is of great importance. It is thanks to your many years of investigation that I can dig out these things."
Prince Yu bowed his hand to Lin Bai, and Lin Bai bowed his hand in return.
