Ye Wuchen could imagine how much humiliation Qiao Qingxue must have suffered over the years!
"Where is Qingxue?" Ye Wuchen asked coldly.
Zhou Wuyang sneered, staring coldly at Ye Wuchen. "What if I refuse to tell you today?"
"Do you want to become a eunuch?" Ye Wuchen said calmly.
Zhou Wuyang's face turned ugly, his fists clenched. "In Qingxue Palace! That's a palace I specially prepared for her!"
"Lead the way!" Ye Wuchen grabbed Zhou Wuyang.
They soon arrived at Qingxue Palace.
At this moment, Qingxue Palace only had a few maids and a tall woman dressed in an elegant and dignified palace gown.
Her beauty was above average, her skin like congealed fat. With her looks alone, she was rarely seen in the entire Eastern Region.
This woman was Qiao Qingxue.
Qiao Qingxue was currently sitting on a soft chair, her expression numb, her eyes vacant.
She had been in this deep palace for sixteen years. She knew nothing of the outside world, and had not seen her parents in all these sixteen years.
"The sixteen-year period is up. The Eastern Region and the Outer Regions are completely cut off. I..."
Qiao Qingxue's expression was numb, her eyes vacant and filled with despair.
Zhou Wuyang had threatened her, saying that if she didn't obey, he would kill Ye Wuchen and her parents!
Thinking back now, Zhou Wuyang definitely wouldn't let Brother Wuchen go. But even if Zhou Wuyang killed Brother Wuchen, would she dare to die?
If she committed suicide, Zhou Wuyang would annihilate her entire clan.
Qiao Qingxue despaired. She wanted to die but couldn't. This feeling of wishing for death was worse than death, leaving her numb, like a walking corpse.
"Imperial Consort, this servant will apply medicine for you."
At this moment, two maids came over with some external wound medicine.
Qiao Qingxue's expression was numb, as if she hadn't heard them.
The maids sighed inwardly and stepped forward, pulling aside some of Qiao Qingxue's gown.
It was revealed that Qiao Qingxue's arms, chest, and back were all covered in whip marks.
Seeing the shocking whip marks, the maids' bodies trembled slightly. One could imagine the humiliation Qiao Qingxue had suffered at the hands of the Lord of Great Zhou.
The Lord of Great Zhou was simply a beast!
Not only these wounds, but even her lower body was covered in scars...
The two maids were horrified, their hair standing on end, their scalps tingling. Even though they saw such a scene once a month, it still shocked them.
Especially on the first night of every month, piercing screams from the Imperial Consort could be heard from Qingxue Palace.
The sounds made one's scalp tingle and their heart fill with fear.
Although Qiao Qingxue was an Imperial Consort and seemed to hold a noble position in the harem, no one envied her. Instead, everyone felt horrified and was extremely obedient to Zhou Wuyang.
Even the Empress acted just as submissively in front of Zhou Wuyang.
"Imperial Consort." The maids choked up, wanting to say something but stopping.
Qiao Qingxue's expression was vacant, as if she hadn't heard them. She had long grown accustomed to the physical pain and had become numb to it.
She was like a walking corpse now. The only things that kept her alive were her Brother Wuchen and her family...
Without these beliefs, she would have died long ago.
After the maids finished applying the medicine, they dressed Qiao Qingxue neatly.
Meanwhile, Ye Wuchen, hovering above Qingxue Palace, had an extremely grim expression, his eyes filled with cruel violence.
"Zhou Wuyang! You deserve to die!"
Ye Wuchen's voice trembled, filled with intense killing intent, as he stared cruelly at Zhou Wuyang.
Zhou Wuyang felt fear welling up inside him, but he forced himself to say, "My father is King Wu!"
Bang!
Ye Wuchen flicked his sleeve, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy formed a small whirlwind. The whirlwind spun with wind blades, raging towards Zhou Wuyang's crotch!
Grinding away bit by bit, turning him into a eunuch!
"Ah!!!!!"
Zhou Wuyang's hair stood on end, and he screamed in terror, "No, don't... don't!"
Zhou Wuyang's voice, filled with extreme terror, echoed throughout Qingxue Palace.
The maids in Qingxue Palace heard the sound and immediately rushed out of the palace. Then, looking up, they saw a scene that deeply shocked them, a scene they had never imagined.
The Lord of Great Zhou was being tortured by a handsome and elegant young man!
Some Great Zhou powerhouses rushed over, but as soon as they arrived, they were crushed by a wave of pressure!
No matter how many came, they all died!
"Zhou Wuyang, I will cripple your Qi Sea, sever your limbs, and imprison you for eternity! I'll make it so you can neither live nor die!"
Ye Wuchen's voice echoed through Qingxue Palace.
BANG!
Zhou Wuyang, now a eunuch, fell from the sky, blood drenching the ground.
In Qingxue Palace, Qiao Qingxue, who had been in a daze, regained a sliver of consciousness upon hearing Zhou Wuyang's horrific screams. She wondered...
Then, a voice she hadn't forgotten in sixteen years rang out!
Qiao Qingxue's pretty face changed. She immediately walked out of the palace and saw Zhou Wuyang on the ground, screaming in terror.
Beside Zhou Wuyang stood a young man in white, his face filled with brutality, yet possessing a handsome and elegant appearance.
Upon seeing him, Qiao Qingxue's delicate body trembled violently, and her expression turned blank.
"Wu... Wu... Brother Wuchen."
Qiao Qingxue's voice trembled as she looked at Ye Wuchen with shocked and vacant eyes.
As a cultivator in the Spirit Gathering Realm, Ye Wuchen had developed Spiritual Sense, which was like a second pair of eyes, capable of flying afar to investigate.
He saw the countless scars all over Qiao Qingxue's body!
With just one glance, he understood the humiliation Qiao Qingxue had suffered!!!
Especially enduring it for a full sixteen years!
Ye Wuchen's killing intent was now stronger than ever. However, at its peak, he felt the least like killing, because killing Zhou Wuyang would be too easy for him!
He wanted Zhou Wuyang to suffer a fate worse than death!
"Qingxue, you cripple him!"
Ye Wuchen handed a sword to Qiao Qingxue, his gaze filled with heartache as he looked at her.
Qiao Qingxue numbly took the sword and slowly turned her gaze towards Zhou Wuyang, who was collapsing and howling on the ground!
For Zhou Wuyang, physical injuries were nothing, but becoming a eunuch was unbearable!
He could not accept this reality!
Even with Qiao Qingxue holding a sword, he was oblivious, lost in his despair.
Remembering the humiliation she had suffered over the years, Qiao Qingxue's eyes suddenly sharpened. She swung the sword four times, severing Zhou Wuyang's limbs!
Ye Wuchen waved his sleeve towards Zhou Wuyang, stopping the bleeding. Then, with another wave, he took Qiao Qingxue, Ye Hao, and the limb-severed Zhou Wuyang, flying away from the Imperial City!
They flew all the way to the edge of a cliff.
Zhou Wuyang's hair was disheveled, his face pale, his eyes vacant...
He had lost his limbs, become a eunuch, and his Qi Sea was crippled...
Just a moment ago, he was the Lord of Great Zhou, admiring the dancers' enchanting moves...
But now, he was a cripple!
And the worst kind of cripple!
Ye Wuchen's face was cold. Even though Zhou Wuyang was now a cripple, his hatred had not subsided.
Qiao Qingxue's attention was focused more on Ye Wuchen...
After sixteen years, her Brother Wuchen was still as handsome and elegant as ever, while she... had become tainted.
She was no longer worthy of harboring any fantasies about her Brother Wuchen.
Qiao Qingxue wept tears of pain, covering her face as she cried.
Ye Wuchen looked at her with heartache, stepped forward, and pulled her into his embrace. "From now on, you'll be with me."
"Hahaha!" Zhou Wuyang suddenly came to his senses upon hearing this, his face contorted in a savage grimace as he laughed maniacally. "Ye Wuchen, you actually want a woman I've played with! Hahahahaha...!"
Ye Wuchen's expression turned instantly cold, his eyes sharp.
Qiao Qingxue's eyes turned wild. She grabbed her long sword, her gaze sharp and menacing, and thrust it directly into Zhou Wuyang's heart!
Although killing Zhou Wuyang directly was too easy for him, Zhou Wuyang's words had made her feel utterly disgusted!
Zhou Wuyang was dead!
Qiao Qingxue dropped the sword in a daze, tears streaming down her beautiful face, falling onto her chest...
"Brother Wuchen... I'm tainted... I don't deserve you..."
Qiao Qingxue sobbed.
She had loved Ye Wuchen once, but back then, she was still pure. Now, she was tainted...
If she were to be with Ye Wuchen, she didn't know how much gossip he would have to endure.
