Chapter 3529: 4.1129 The Punishment of a Thousand Cuts

He then spoke of how he had captured Qiao Lin and how he had colluded with the Pangu clan to dispatch a group of subordinates to throw the entire Mo Capital into chaos.

He recounted it all, looking quite pleased with himself.

Everyone listened, dumbfounded, staring incredulously at the utterly smug Miao Sheng, and couldn't help but shiver.

This man was clearly done for!

"Miao Sheng is utterly deserving of death; dying a thousand, ten thousand times would not atone for his crimes." Qiao Mu said coldly, "Where are the Crown Princess's guards?"

"Present!"

"This man harbors evil intentions and is utterly deranged! Execute him with the extreme punishment of a thousand cuts and ten thousand slices!" Qiao Mu's icy voice fell into everyone's ears without a trace of warmth, like a stream of ice water flowing through them, sending shivers down their spines.

"Abolish his cultivation, and execute him publicly! As a warning to others!"

"Yes!!" The Purple Forest Guards swarmed forward, quickly breaking Miao Sheng's hands and feet and crippling his spiritual power. They then carried him like a chicken, dragging him to a nearby pillar and tying him up.

The agony of having his cultivation abolished brought Miao Sheng back from the dazed state of talisman control. He couldn't help but shriek, "Patriarch, Eldest Young Master, save me! Save me, Patriarch! I, I was also acting on Second Young Lady's orders! Patriarch, save me, I've been so loyal to the Shi family, you can't treat me like this! Save me, save me! Save me!!"

"Ah!" As chunks of flesh flew, Miao Sheng emitted ear-splitting screams of agony.

The onlookers gathered outside the Shi family's entrance had never expected to witness such a bloody scene and were so terrified that they quickly recoiled.

The timid women immediately hugged their children and, no longer daring to watch the spectacle, quickly ran home to hide.

Qiao Mu said coldly, "Hand over Shi Yongqian's head, and this Crown Princess will release the Shi family's children under the age of ten."

"Crown Princess, please calm your anger! How innocent are the old and young of the Shi family?"

"Children are indeed innocent, but the sins your Shi family committed in the lower star domain would probably not be overpunished even if they cost your entire clan's lives," Qiao Mu said coldly. "If I do not severely punish you today, how can I face the thousands of broken families in the lower star domain!"

"No!" The Shi family patriarch immediately panicked; he was now truly flustered.

Offending this little Crown Princess was equivalent to offending the Divine Continent's Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince wielded immense power, and even his Purple Forest Guards alone were more than the Shi family could bear.

He naturally dared not confront the little Crown Princess directly and hastily cried out, "Crown Princess, please be discerning! The wrongs committed by Miao Sheng have nothing to do with my Shi family!"

Miao Sheng, who had already endured dozens of cuts, immediately shrieked upon hearing the patriarch's evasive words, "Bullshit! Does your Shi family dare to commit but not admit? This was all Second Miss Shi's orders for this servant! Second Miss even said she would capture all of the Crown Princess's maternal family and bring them to the Divine Continent, and then force the Crown Princess to self-mutilate and beg for mercy on her knees!"

A cold glint flashed in Aoyue's eyes, and he roared, "What audacity!"

The Shi family patriarch, separated by the transparent talisman array, immediately knelt at the doorway, repeatedly exclaiming in alarm, "Crown Princess, please be discerning! This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the Shi family. If you blame the Shi family, that would truly be too extreme!"

"Yes, this whole thing was Second Sister Shi Yongqian's doing!" The Shi family's eldest son, having regained consciousness, also immediately knelt and shouted.
