Chapter 1477: Chapter 1436: Who Exactly is it?
“Lu… Chuan.”
Kong Zhaozhao furrowed her brows, the na felt sowhat familiar, but she couldn’t rember where she had heard it before.
Seeing Kong Zhaozhao’s puzzled expression, Kong Yuanliang explained, “It’s normal for you to be unfamiliar. This person is the top nesis of the Penglai Immortal Domain. Sohow, he infiltrated the Penglai Immortal Domain, and by chance, abducted you to force you to reveal the location of the Secret Realm of Wordless Book. But don’t worry, I’ve already captured him, and he won’t escape again. In a few days, I will go to the secular world to openly kill Lu Chuan.”
“Father, what exactly did this person do wrong? Why must he be killed?”
“It’s a long story, and you don’t need to know. Just take ti to rest, Zhaozhao. I’ve found a way to completely cure the Frost Poison in your body. Trust , soon you’ll be able to live a normal life.”
“Hmm… thank you, father.”
Kong Zhaozhao nodded slightly, clearly not too concerned about the matter.
But what difference does it make to return to normal? For more than twenty years, she had already cut off all ties with the outside world, unaware of everything beyond. Even if she sohow managed to rid herself of the Frost Poison, her circumstances wouldn’t change much.
Yet, thinking of her father’s efforts for her over the past two decades, Kong Zhaozhao forced a small smile.
“Father, I’m a bit tired and would like to rest.”
“Hmm, go rest. I’ll co see you later.”
Watching Kong Yuanliang leave, Kong Zhaozhao sighed softly.
She could feel that she had forgotten sothing, soone who was very important to her.
But who exactly was he?
…
On the other side, in the Heavenly Prison of the Penglai Immortal Domain!
Lu Chuan panted heavily, each breath a massive tornt to his body, the excruciating pain continuously shattering his will.
His hands were suspended, hanging from the top of the cell, his body covered in scars inflicted by the prison guards after he entered the prison. For soone like Lu Chuan, who wouldn’t die easily and had a sturdy body, he was the perfect target for the guards’ venting.
Blood flowed unceasingly from where the Spirit Suppressing Nails were embedded, causing Lu Chuan’s complexion to beco even paler.
The effects of the Spirit Suppressing Nails lived up to their na. With four nails pinned, Lu Chuan could no longer sense the slightest spiritual energy fluctuation within him, as if his cultivation had been stripped away. He couldn’t even awaken the Tower Spirit to communicate.
It could be said that if it weren’t for the support of the Primal Chaos Indestructible Body, Lu Chuan might have already been a corpse.
Since beginning his cultivation, Lu Chuan had never faced a predicant so seemingly insurmountable.
“Heh, look at the pathetic state you’re in now, Lu Chuan. Did you ever think you’d end up like this when you infiltrated the Penglai Immortal Domain?”
“Too much nonsense. Are you trying to torture into submission? Let tell you, dream on!”
“Still so stubborn on the brink of death. Fine, I’ll see it through! Don’t worry, it won’t be long. In a few days, I’ll take you back to the secular world, cut off your head in front of everyone, and show all in the secular world the consequence of crossing the Penglai Immortal Domain!”
“Haha! So I’m pretty impressive, to have the Sect Master of the Penglai Immortal Domain personally deal with .”
Lu Chuan sneered, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and looked up with a cold smile, “I’m very much looking forward to that day!”
“Still have energy to speak? Seems I went too easy on you. Alright, I have two more Spirit Suppressing Nails, consider them my gift to you.”
Kong Yuanliang flicked his wrist, and two nails pierced into Lu Chuan’s ankles, pinning him to the ground!
As painful as it was, Lu Chuan gritted his teeth in silence, enduring through it, and instead jeered mockingly, “Is that it? The Spirit Suppressing Nails are nothing much! Kong Yuanliang, you’d better make sure you kill this ti, or I will make you pay!”
“Rest assured, your death is certain.”
Kong Yuanliang laughed heartily, waved his sleeve, and left, the prison falling silent again, with only the sound of Lu Chuan’s blood dripping onto the ground.
The pain was unbearable, simply excruciating!
Lu Chuan’s special physique allowed his body’s injuries to heal slowly on their own, but the Spirit Suppressing Nails countered this, constantly eroding his flesh and blood, the pain both horrific and enduring!
And the additional two Spirit Suppressing Nails thoroughly crippled his body, rendering him powerless, as feeble as a dying man.
Regret?
There was indeed a little.
Had he known it would be like this, Lu Chuan should have bid farewell properly to everyone, especially those he loved, before leaving.
“Otherwise, this parting seems a bit too sudden…”
Lu Chuan lowered his head, his face indistinguishable whether it was sweat or blood flowing down his cheeks.
He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he seed to hear gentle footsteps approaching the cell door.
“What, haven’t tortured enough, planning for a second round?”
Lu Chuan looked up and locked eyes with a pair of cold eyes, and in a mont of distraction, recognized the person.
“Kong… Zhaozhao, why are you here?”
“You do know … but why can’t I rember anything about you? Lu Chuan, who are you really, and what is our relationship?”
“You snuck into the prison to see , a dying man, just to ask that? Hahaha! Should I call you naive or foolish…”
Lu Chuan exhaled deeply, gradually collecting his laughter, and calmly said, “We have no relationship, you were just a captive I took.”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true, what else do you think it is?”
“But…”
But…
If it were rely that, why did she feel inexplicably pained upon seeing Lu Chuan in such a state?
“Enough, get out of here. Being associated with won’t bring you any good.”
Lu Chuan said this, using all his strength to shake the chains binding him, frightening Kong Zhaozhao into stepping back with a pale face.
The clanking of the chains soon attracted nearby prison guards. Despite wanting to ask Lu Chuan more questions, given the situation, she seed to have no other option but to leave.
As for the questions within her heart… perhaps she would never have the chance to find the answers.
After all, her father had said that in a few days, he would take Lu Chuan away to the secular world and publicly execute him.
“Eh… what’s happening to ?”
Kong Zhaozhao blinked, confused as her vision blurred, and touched her face to find it covered in tears.
