Entangled with An Evil Lord

’Celestial Master Zuo’ was amused. "I see that General Gu is unfamiliar with dismemberment." He then signaled an officer over. "Briefly explain to everyone about the process." The officer nodded and took a step forward. Loudly and clearly, he announced the detailed process of dismemberment. When the announcement ended, they brutality scared the living daylight out of the bystanders. It was ruthless, utterly inhuman.

They finally realized they were about to witness a bloody and merciless scene. Some were too timid to stay and started to retreat. They decided to try to push their ways out of the plaza to avoid witnessing the scene with their own eyes. Unfortunately, all four doors were already shut, after Celestial Master Zuo and Fairy Queen Li made their entrance.

The prisoners on the stage were terrified. They trembled with fear. Most of these prisoners were the men who had followed Gu Xietian to wars. They had committed innumerable murders and seen countless bloody scenes. They were not afraid of death itself and initially stood with great dignity even when they were tied to the pillars, as though death was nothing but another milestone for them. However, the officer’s detailed announcement managed to scare them all. They were quivering at this point.

No one could possibly handle the savage torture. The women and children were completely traumatized. All of them looked pale and were in a frightful state. Some could no longer stay conscious; Gu Xietian’s two daughters and two concubines were so stunned that they became unconscious.

Carefree and leisurely, Celestial Master Zuo turned to look at Gu Xietian. He asked, "Are you clear now? Cutting their tongues is only the first step, there are more to come. We shall do it slowly. Do not worry that they may die halfway during the process. There was an added medicine in your breakfast this morning. It will help you to sustain your life and stay awake most of the time, no matter how much pain you face."
