However, seeing one's own dreams become reality for others is both cruel and fortunate.
The jailer hadn't personally witnessed the Alexander Alexander's invincible prowess in battle, but that didn't stop him from secretly idolizing Sun Fei and worshipping him fervently. Unfortunately, his status was so lowly that he didn't even dare to tell others that his idol was Alexander; he himself felt unworthy to worship the God of War and pillar of Twin Flag City.
That morning, when he received news that the people of Alexander were coming to the dungeon to interrogate the wanted criminals themselves, the gaunt jailer was so excited he almost jumped up.
For him, even just a chance to catch a glimpse of his idol from afar is his greatest dream and aspiration right now.
When he finally saw Sun Fei and had the honor of leading the way for His King, he felt calmer than ever before. He simply repeated to himself with a sense of entitlement, "Indeed, only such a handsome and young man, such a darling of the gods, can become the hero that everyone admires."
So when he heard Doni cursing Sun Fei, this lowly jailer lashed out with his whip. On one hand, it was out of a ruthless instinct he had developed from interrogating prisoners in the dungeon for a long time. On the other hand, it was also a way of protecting his idol in a humble manner within his power.
In fact, after being lashed several times, the lowly jailer suddenly began to regret his actions.
He suddenly remembered that Alexander, as the people in the city spoke of him, was not a cruel man. Perhaps his actions would not only fail to uphold Alexander's dignity, but would also make Alexander despise him as a 'dog relying on its master's power.' Alexander was the glorious sun, and his petty behavior would only tarnish Alexander's Glory.
Just as the jailer was secretly regretting his actions, he overheard Sun Fei's evaluation of him.
This sudden recognition stunned the jailer, who was filled with remorse, and then plunged him into unprecedented excitement. In that instant, he felt his mind go blank. He forcibly suppressed his emotions and did not show any loss of composure, but his eyes were filled with hopeless admiration when he looked at Sun Fei.
Even the four burly executioners, shirtless and dressed in fine clothes, had their originally indifferent eyes soften slightly because of Sun Fei's words.
The fact that they had gained Lord Alexander's approval thrilled everyone present.
"You're just making excuses!" [ The Snow Mountain Hermit ], after a moment of stunned silence, suddenly burst into laughter, rebuking him. "A warrior's Glory lies in battle! You shouldn't use these vile instruments of torture to ravage a warrior's body! Hahaha, King of Chambord, inflicting torture on a warrior's body is a self-degrading act. It seems you've lost the Glory a true warrior should possess, unworthy of being called a true warrior or nobleman! Hahaha! Moreover, I know a huge secret of yours! Hahaha, you've actually colluded with Undead Magic, making Undead Magic work for you! That little fellow, is he a skeletal dragon in human skin? Hahaha, associating with such an evil creature, you'll be sent to the gallows of the Holy Church sooner or later! Hahaha..."
A strange smile appeared on Sun Fei's face, "Huh? What did you say about Undead Magic? And what about that ancient undead dragon? I really don't understand at all... You're not just trying to smear me, are you? Tsk tsk tsk, do you think such a childish framing tactic will work on me?"
"Framed? Smeared? Hahaha, if that damned brat hadn't used Undead Magic, would I have been so easily captured by an opponent of similar strength? The evil Magic Power from him still lingers within me, sealing my Dou Qi aura and rendering me powerless. Hahaha, pray, King of Chambord, you're playing with fire! The experts of the Holy Church will discover this power sooner or later. They will find this place, uncover your evil nature, and then the entire Zenit Empire will perish because of you! Hahaha, although you captured us, you've exposed your true colors! You're courting death!"
"Really? Hearing you say that makes me so scared. So tell me, what should I do?" Sun Fei deliberately feigned a look of fear and dread.
"There's only one way. If you release us, when the Church's experts arrive, I'm willing to switch sides and testify for you, proving that we were injured by Undead Magic mechanisms within the [ God and Demon Palace ]. After all, I don't want to have anything to do with the Church's clergy. This is your best choice... Otherwise, hehe, at worst, we'll all perish together. Your fate won't be much better than mine." [ The Snow Mountain Hermit ] said, laughing maniacally, his eyes filled with a strong sense of revenge and threat as he looked at Sun Fei.
"Oh? Is that so? You've reminded me. However, I think I have another option. Why not kill you all immediately and destroy the evidence?" Sun Fei's confident smile made his opponents feel uneasy.
" King of Chambord, with your wisdom, you must have already considered that even if you kill us now, a thick Aura will still remain here. At that time, even if you have a hundred mouths, you will be even less able to explain it." [ The Snow Mountain Hermit ] said slowly but firmly.
"Oh, then I must thank you for acknowledging my wisdom. Perhaps I will consider your suggestion, but before that, I suddenly want to change the subject." Sun Fei glanced at Doni, who was struggling in fear and anxiety on the other side, and laughed, "To be honest, I've always been curious. Being favored by someone like Prince Fairenton shows that you're not a fool. But why do you treat someone as lowly as Doni as a treasure, using all the resources of the Great Snow Mountain to promote him to the Moon Class? Can't you really see that he's just a useless piece of trash? And after he betrayed you, you still defended him despite past grievances?"
Upon hearing this topic, [ The Snow Mountain Hermit ]'s expression changed, he snorted coldly, turned his head away, and remained silent.
"Haha, since you're unwilling to say, let me guess the real reason. Perhaps... this good-for-nothing in front of me isn't just your disciple, but also your son? In that case, everything seems to make sense." Sun Fei sat sideways on the stone chair, speaking calmly, a strange smile playing on his lips.
The Snow Mountain Hermit' expression changed drastically. "How do you know...? Utter nonsense! You..."
"What? You don't want to admit it? Fine, this news is indeed surprising. To be honest, I was shocked when I first heard it too. But only this reason can explain why you have such a strong preference for a good-for-nothing... Fatherly love is indeed great, so great that it has turned the ruler of a martial arts holy land into a selfish and incompetent person who has lost his wisdom and decision-making ability—oh, of course, you should believe me, I'm not being sarcastic about you."
"You..." [ The Snow Mountain Hermit ] was immediately thrown into turmoil.
Even the shrewd and calculating man couldn't help but lose his composure at this moment. A secret he had hidden for countless years had been ruthlessly exposed to his face, like a wound that had finally healed being torn open again. This sudden change caused him to lose his composure and he didn't know what to say.
Seeing his expression, all the children in the torture chamber realized that what Sun Fei had just said must be true.
Doni, who was tied to the wall and trembling with fear and resentment, suddenly froze.
In that instant, the sinister young man had a sudden realization; the mystery that had been troubling him for so long had finally been solved.
No wonder the man beside her had always indulged and forgiven her for no reason, repeatedly allowing her to make mistakes, helping her through difficulties time and time again, and repeatedly expending his own Dou Qi to improve her martial arts realm. He even went so far as to consume the only perfect-level gem in the Great Snow Mountain, and combined it with various other formations and treasures to forcibly raise her from the Mid-Tier Eight-Star Class to the Early-Tier New Moon Class...
So that's the real reason.
"Save me, Father, save me, you must save me..." As if a drowning person had grasped at a straw, Doni struggled desperately.
"Sigh..." [ The Snow Mountain Hermit ] let out a long, dejected sigh, as if he had aged decades in an instant. He slumped down, and after a long while, he slowly raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty King of Chambord, you came to the torture chamber today not simply to expose this matter. Whatever your request, tell me, and I will grant it all. I can even confess to the people of the Church that I am the evil Undead Magic who covered up the truth about the presence of Undead Magic here. Even if you want my life, I will give it to you, as long as you spare Doni this time."
After all, it's an inseparable family bond. By saying "[ The Snow Mountain Hermit ]" in Yangshuo, he is essentially acknowledging his relationship with Doni.
At this point, he was completely defeated by Sun Fei.
After speaking, [ The Snow Mountain Hermit ] looked at Sun Fei with expectant eyes, awaiting His Majesty the King's reply.
