Unable to use Cultivation Power, there was no way to resist the pressure of the thumb screw.
After the ten fingers were placed inside, the Royal Palace Guard began pulling with force.
In an instant, these black-clad n let out cries of agony, with cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.
After letting these black-clad n feel so pain, the Emperor of Tianng Country interrogated again, "Who sent you here?"
"Even if you beat us to death, we will never tell."
The mouths of these black-clad n were sealed tight; they refused to divulge even a hint of information.
Seeing this, the Emperor of Tianng Country had no choice but to let them taste the experience of having their fingers broken like ordinary people.
So he ordered, "Pull with all your might for !"
"Yes!"
The next mont, the Royal Palace Guard pulled hard, and in an instant, the fingers of these black-clad n snapped.
This Heart-Piercing Bone Penetration is chilling to the core, making one tremble with pain.
Several black-clad n with blocked ridians almost fainted from the pain.
Fortunately, frequent training had strengthened them, or they would not have withstood it.
"The subsequent punishnts will be even more painful, will you confess?" the Emperor of Tianng Country asked.
"We've said it, even if you kill us, we will not speak." The black-clad n replied with resilience.
"Fine! Soone, turn them into porcupines,"
The Royal Palace Guard imdiately took out needles capable of easily piercing through weapons.
Rather than needles, they were more like iron spikes, as thick as nails; thus, this penalty was not ordinary needle-pricking.
Seeing the needle as thick as a little finger, the black-clad n shivered, deeply apprehensive.
Once the needle pricked them, they would howl in agony for a long ti.
"What should we do? What should we do?"
Within them, so began to waver in their belief.
Because they were convinced this was just an appetizer, more pain awaited afterward.
Endure a little longer, perhaps the other side would tire of them and grant them death.
"Zzz!"
The sharp sound of sothing piercing flesh rang out, crisp and piercing.
The black-clad n howled in waves of anguish, feeling unbearable.
This was the most painful penalty they had ever endured in their lives; it made life intolerable.
Within minutes, the black-clad n beca porcupines, drenched in blood, an appalling sight.
Lin Yifan was in utter shock, witnessing the ten brutal tortures of Tianng Country; they were too cruel, and he dared not provoke such things.
The Emperor of Tianng Country, with a heart of stone, observed the state of the black-clad n, as if appreciating a masterpiece he'd completed, nodding slightly.
"Still want to remain stubborn?"
"Keep it coming, whatever punishnt is the most painful, bring it on." The leader of the black-clad n spoke with hardened resolve, refusing to yield to the Emperor of Tianng Country.
However, the other black-clad n were different.
They hung their heads, not speaking a word, seemingly with plans of their own.
The Emperor of Tianng Country noticed the remaining black-clad n were uneasy and hesitant, seemingly about to relent, so he continued to order, "Flay their skins and scrape their bones!"
"Yes!"
The Royal Palace Guard imdiately brought out the tools for skinning and bone scraping and began this punishnt on the black-clad n.
Seeing the tools sharp enough to easily peel off skin, the black-clad n grew even more terrified.
With one slash, a layer of skin would definitely be gone.
They did not have many layers of skin, only one, so their convictions further wavered.
When the implents touched their bodies, several among them, lacking courage, imdiately compromised.
"Your Majesty! I'll tell! I'll tell!"
"If you dare reveal a word, your whole family will be buried along with you!" sneered the leader of the black-clad n, as he tried to intimidate the traitors who defied the organization's beliefs.
But even the largest organization could not surpass a Dynasty, so the few black-clad n who relented asked, "Your Majesty, can you protect our family?"
"As long as you speak, I guarantee in Tianng Country, no one can harm a hair on your family's heads," the Emperor of Tianng Country promised earnestly.
With this assurance, the black-clad n gained confidence and answered, "We were sent by the Empress to assassinate this noble guest of the Imperial Palace."
"The Empress, it really is her? Why would she do this? Is a marriage of hundreds of years not worth more than the Crown Prince's position?"
The Emperor of Tianng Country, tears streaming down his face, was overwheld with grief and anger.
He had suspected this outco, but he was unwilling to believe it.
Now with irrefutable evidence, he could not deceive himself any longer.
Lin Yifan had long wanted to inform the Emperor of Tianng Country of the answer, but the latter was deceiving himself, so what use was it to speak? Hence, he stayed back and let things take their course.
Now, regardless of whether the Emperor of Tianng Country believed it, it no longer mattered, for the evidence was undeniable, and he could not deceive himself.
After mourning for a while, the Emperor of Tianng Country snapped out of his sorrow.
His gaze sharpened, casting two frigid beams of light, as his heart turned cold.
He would not easily forgive those who challenged his authority, because he was the Son of Heaven, the ruler of a kingdom, and no one could offend him.
He then proceeded to Qianning Palace, prepared to reckon with this venomous woman, the Empress.
What he promised the black-clad n, he would not go back on his word, yet for those who wished for death, he would grant their wish.
Thus, several of the stubborn black-clad n were stabbed to death with a sword.
In their final monts, they glared viciously at the traitors, cursing venomously: "You will regret this; those who betray the organization's beliefs will die miserably!"
The black-clad n were shaken internally, yet as long as they moved to live under the Emperor's protection, what could the organization do against them?
Moreover, the organization's mastermind was the Empress herself; once sothing happened to her, the organization would disband in due ti.
This would not be able to harm them; why should they fear?
The ten fingers had fallen to the ground, but tily sewing could reattach them.
Hence, they all used Cultivation Power to stop the bleeding and sought help from the Royal Palace Guard.
The Royal Palace Guard pitied them, crouched down, picked up the fingers, and said, "If you knew this would happen, why do it in the first place?"
"Who knew you would torture us like this?"
The black-clad n were still traumatized, never wishing to endure such punishnt again.
"Do you think being a valuable prisoner makes it easy to die? Use your brain," the Royal Palace Guard retorted.
The black-clad n had an epiphany; this was a valuable lesson in life. When not prepared to die, surrender and compromise earlier; do not engage in futile resistance.
...
Lin Yifan followed the Emperor, stepping into Qianning Palace to witness this palace drama.
The Empress was not asleep, as she awaited news from the assassins.
Upon hearing commotion outside the palace and seeing the lights blazing, she felt uneasy.
The assassins would not co to see her with such fanfare, so she sensed impending doom.
To be cautious, she imdiately got on the bed, lay down, and feigned indifference.
Upon seeing the Emperor, the eunuchs and maids of Qianning Palace were about to salute but were stopped by the Emperor.
