Chapter 851: 404: Zhi Li’s plight! Victor is king, loser a bandit!

Why did Jian Liu betray Zhi Li?

It began several months ago.

At that time, Jian Liu was Zhi Li’s confidante and lover, and after Turing Duo wounded Zhi Li, she was detained in the dungeons of the Young Lord’s residence.

Zhi Li would certainly not allow other men to touch Gui Qinshao, so he had Jian Liu interrogate and torture Gui Qinshao, with strict orders not to damage her body.

Thus, Jian Liu used every means to torture Gui Qinshao.

She poured hot water into Gui Qinshao’s stomach, causing her to suffer terrible pain from her esophagus to her belly, yet no injuries could be seen on the surface.

She thrust silver needles mercilessly into the gaps under Gui Qinshao’s fingernails, a pain that reached the extreme, but still left no visible marks.

She tortured Gui Qinshao for a month, yet who would have known that such a delicate and pampered lady would endure without any compromise.

Of course, she had nothing substantial to confess, and the so-called compromise was nothing more than pleas like "I was wrong, please let me go," or "I’m willing to be Zhi Li’s woman."

But after her father, Gui Xingfu, betrayed her, her whole world collapsed, and she became utterly fearless and not even afraid of death, never once begging for mercy or compromising.

In the end, Zhi Li still couldn’t bear to wreck her beauty that bloomed like flowers and her body as delicate as jade, and so he ordered Jian Liu to stop tormenting her.

Thus, that evening, Jian Liu should have left the Young Lord’s residence and gone home.

But Jian Liu was not content and prepared to torture Gui Qinshao one last time, intending to plant tens of thousands of blood-sucking demon locusts inside her stomach.

But at a critical moment, Suo Lun appeared, rescued Gui Qinshao, and captured Jian Liu.

That night, the Shadow Cabinet took Jian Liu to a secret interrogation room and fed the entire bottle of blood-sucking demon locusts right into her stomach.

Instantly, the woman panicked, shrieking and howling with horror. Without even waiting to be coerced by the Shadow Cabinet, she volunteered to betray Zhi Li and to serve Suo Lun, as long as the Shadow Cabinet gave her the antidote to kill the locusts inside her.

That was because the demonic locust curse was too terrifying; in a few months, tens of thousands of leech-like creatures would burst from her body.

The very thought of such a scene was the stuff of nightmares!

That day, the Shadow Cabinet did not give her the antidote; instead, they poured some other gu poison into her stomach and then set her free before dawn.

From then on, Jian Liu was continuously controlled by the Shadow Cabinet, and it was unknown how many times she betrayed Zhi Li.

The most critical instance was on the night Zhi Li wed Turing Mo when she helped Tuli Yang expose the illicit affair between Zhi Li and Turing Duo.

Afterward, everyone in the Young Lord’s residence targeted the personal maidservant Cai Yi as the traitor, completely overlooking Jian Liu.

Today, Jian Liu was finally completely exposed and dealt Zhi Li a fatal blow!

...

"Turing Duo, why don’t you undo your skirt and let us see your belly, are you really pregnant?" Jian Liu’s harsh and venomous voice came again.

Turing Duo, of course, dared not for her pregnancy was a lie!

At that moment, Lord Tuli Ming pointed at the Army of Vengeance from Luan Yang City and commanded loudly, "What are you waiting for? Why haven’t you torn this woman into pieces?"

The warriors of the Tuli Family trembled fiercely as if waking from a dream. Upon hearing their old master’s command, they drew their battle swords and charged towards the platform, determined to tear Turing Duo into pieces.

No one expected there to be such an extremely venomous and shameless woman in the world.

Not only did she attempt to murder the old master and the young master, but she also killed over two hundred Tuli Family samurai. Moreover, she completely played with the brothers’ emotions and utterly trampled the dignity of the Tuli Family.

Turing Duo’s scheming brought unerasable shame upon the Army of Vengeance of the Tuli Family.

Had Suo Lun not exposed her, the ten thousand soldiers of the Army of Vengeance would have been the sinners of Luan Yang City! They would have been the accomplices to the tyrant, aiding in his wickedness!

"Kill, kill, tear this venomous woman to pieces!"

"Split open her belly and see if there is really Zhi Li’s evil seed inside?"

The Tuli Family warriors rushed toward the platform in frenzy.

Seeing the tide of the Tuli Family warriors surge forward, filled with murderous intent and rage, Turing Duo felt as if they would bury her in an instant.

"Ah... Ah... Ah..."

Turing Duo felt an immense fear, the sensation that death was imminent!

She would be torn apart, she would be dismembered!

At this moment, she even forgot the fact that she knew martial arts.

Just then, a cry from a griffin echoed in the air. The eunuch Li Chenglian, riding a griffin beast, soared from behind, aiming for Turing Duo atop the platform.

Suo Lun and Fen Mo immediately notched their bows and shot arrows towards Li Chenglian’s griffin.

With his sword dancing wildly in his hand, Li Chenglian deflected Suo Lun’s arrow before it could strike the griffin.

The eunuch’s martial arts skills were truly too profound.

Quickly, Li Chenglian, supporting himself on the griffin, flew above Turing Duo, snatched her up briskly, then turned around and headed back toward the formation of the large army!

At the same time, two Gryphon Warriors from the Fenglei Fort Defense Line behind also began to take flight, ready to pursue as soon as Suo Lun gave the order.

Suo Lun did not command them, as sending the griffin in pursuit now would be suicide.

Soon after, Suo Lun quickly noticed that as Li Chenglian fled with Turing Duo, he had exposed her entire back.

Suo Lun hesitated briefly, debating whether to fatally shoot Turing Duo. Wouldn’t it be too easy on her if he shot her dead just like that?

How could he quench the raging bitterness in his heart without torturing her, making her wish for life or death?

Less than half a second later, Suo Lun released his arrow!
