Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Past 1

The world only knows that there is a mysterious ethnic group in the western frontier of Dazhang Kingdom-the Wu Clan, and they know that they are good at using Gu poison, and they can put people to death in silence, and they can also control people's souls, thoughts, and behaviors in a silent and silent manner, but no one knows where the Wu clan land is located, what is the situation in the clan, and how many people there are, because none of the outsiders who have ever entered the Wu clan can come out alive.

It is said that in the more than two hundred years since the existence of the Wu Clan, only a hundred years ago, when the Wulin Zhengdao and the Western Frontier of Dazhang Kingdom appeared on a large scale in the Great Dead War, Jiang Mintian, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance at that time, inadvertently broke into the territory of the Wu Clan.

Although Jiang Mintian later escaped from the Wu clan land safely with his own skills, he was poisoned by deadly Gu poison in his body, and he had already run out of oil and lamps after helping the martial arts righteous path strangle the living dead and was powerless to return to the sky.

On the occasion of his death, Jiang Mintian told the people around him some of the things he had seen in the Wu clan land, and then jumped into the abyss with the Heavenly Machine Sword, which had been destroyed and turned into a waste sword, and killed himself.

It was also since then that some things about the Wu clan have gradually spread, but there is very little credible information that has been passed down to this day, after all, those situations were dictated by Jiang Mintian back then, and repeatedly relayed by the people around him, as the so-called "a small miss, a thousand miles wrong", a hundred years have passed, and the situation that Jiang Mintian said back then has long been spread beyond recognition.

When Mu Ziru was arrested, it was already mid-June, and he was trapped in the Wu Clan's water prison for half a month, and he was also tortured by the Wu Clan's people for half a month with all kinds of Gu poison.

Mu Ziru was seriously injured when he was brought into the Wu clan's land, and he didn't carefully ponder whether the Wu clan's land was consistent with the legend, but he was deeply impressed by the Wu clan's water prison, just because, even if three years have passed, Mu Ziru has never forgotten the inhuman torture of Jì for half a month!

The entrance to the Wu Clan's water dungeon was built at the foot of a mountain cliff, and the entrance was surrounded by a mess of vines, some of which were even entangled in the entrance, and they needed to be cut open with a knife.

Thirty feet deep into the ground (one foot equals 0.33 meters), the staircase to the bottom of the water prison winds and turns, and the water prison is lit by torches on the surrounding walls.

Standing outside the entrance of the water dungeon, you can still feel the heat in the air, but once you enter the water dungeon, you will feel an inexplicable chill coming from all directions, making people shiver.

When you get to the bottom of the prison, you will find that the real water prison is dug in large deep pits at the bottom of the prison, and the pits are filled with enough water to flood the chests of adults, and people can only stand in the pits, otherwise they will be drowned. The top of the pit was paved with a heavy iron fence, and a small gate was open on the fence, and Mu Ziru was thrown into the pit directly from the small gate by the Wu clan.

The moment he entered the water, Mu Ziru choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and he almost vomited in that moment - the water in the water prison pit was stagnant water, mixed with the filth of people who had been imprisoned before, and the prison water emitted a rotten stench after years of years.

After surfacing the water, Mu Ziru actually saw a dead mouse floating in the corner of the water prison that had been soaked white!

Moreover, when passing through the iron fence on the top of the water prison pit in front of him, Mu Ziru even saw a white bone hanging from a water prison pit! But the white bone can no longer be called a white bone, it is full of countless strange things attached to it that cover the original color of the bone, and I don't know how long the owner of the white bone was imprisoned during his lifetime, and it was forgotten to such an extent by the Wu clan!

At first, Mu Ziru thought that the Wu people were trying to prevent him from slipping into the water and drowning, until a few days later, Mu Ziru understood that the reason why those frantic Wu people tied his hands to the iron fence was to better torture him!

At noon on the first day of the seventh month, Mu Ziru, who had been tortured for half a month, was soaked in prison water and swollen, exuding a foul smell, and was almost only one breath left, was dragged out of the water prison by two Wu clansmen, and dragged all the way to the square in front of the ancestral hall where the Wu clan worshiped his ancestors.

When Mu Ziru was taken, the square in front of the ancestral hall was already full of kneeling people, their hands were tied behind their backs, and they knelt on the ground row after row, sweeping away at a glance, most of them were some fourteen or fifteen-year-old young women, many of them were dressed very differently, presumably from several places.

Xu was because he knew what he was going to face next, those young women were crying, and some were even begging for mercy, but none of the Wu clansmen guarding around the square paid attention to them!

Mu Ziru saw that the people kneeling in the front three rows of the crowd were the villagers of the village who had become sacrifices because of Mu Ziru.

When those villagers saw Mu Ziru who was dragged by two Wu clansmen to appear in the square, they opened their mouths and cursed Mu Ziru, and even said that they would not let go of Mu Ziru who harmed their whole village.

At that time, Mu Ziru didn't have the strength to pay attention to the group of villagers who cursed him, so he could only let the two Wu clansmen who dragged him tie him to the cross wooden frame on the high platform in front of the Wu ancestral hall.

When he stood on the high platform and looked down, Mu Ziru found that the original legend was true, the ground of the square in front of the ancestral hall of the Wu clan to worship their ancestors was indeed made of marble, but the color was scarlet...... Over the years, such a strange color has been formed!

After being tied to the cross, Mu Ziru saw that the person who knelt first in the crowd was actually the girl he had saved!

Unlike the hateful curses of the villagers in the same village behind her, the girl was also looking up at Mu Ziru who was tied to the cross on the high platform, and suddenly, she pursed her lips and smiled at him, and it was as beautiful as fireworks in a prosperous era.

At that moment, Mu Ziru was stunned by that smile.

Wandering alone in the rivers and lakes for so many years, it was not until that moment that Mu Ziru realized that he was wandering, just to meet her in the vast sea of people and see her smile as beautiful as fireworks in the prosperous era.

The reason why he rescued her, accompanied her back to her village, and returned to her home was just to prevent the smile that was as beautiful as fireworks in the prosperous era from disappearing.

However, at that moment, Mu Ziru also knew that he had understood too late......

As the Wu Clan's sacrifice ceremony began, Mu Ziru, who was tied to the cross, condescendingly watched as those kneeling on the ground were cut one by one by a sharp scimitar with a cold flash, and then fell to the ground twisted and convulsed in pain, a pain that watched his life pass slowly but could not do anything.

Mu Ziru has never been a kind-hearted person, for those who don't know, their life or death, Mu Ziru can do it and don't care at all. However, when the Great Elder of the Wu Clan personally put the sharp scimitar that flashed with cold light on the girl's neck, Mu Ziru suddenly panicked.

However, the Great Elder of the Wu Clan did not immediately cut the girl's throat with the scimitar in her hand, but said that he would let the girl have a good "enjoyment" before killing the girl.

When the Great Elder of the Wu Clan finished saying those words, Mu Ziru could only watch as the Great Elder of the Wu Clan slashed at the girl's left arm with the scimitar in her hand, and the red blood instantly soaked the girl's cloth.

As if this was not enough, the Great Elder of the Wu Clan stabbed the girl in the abdomen with the scimitar in her hand, and when the scimitar was pulled out forcefully, blood instantly burst to the ground.

Struggling with the last bit of strength, screaming, all the qiē couldn't stop the Great Elder of the Wu Clan from slowly moving towards the girl's throat with the sharp scimitar in her hand, and then slowly slashing the girl's throat.

Although Mu Ziru is ruthless, he is not cold-blooded. He could watch the world perish, but he couldn't watch the people he cared about get hurt in the slightest.

When he watched the girl in pain, her facial features were distorted together, but she still didn't say a word......

As he watched as the girl slowly fell to the ground, blood flowed from between her white neck and stained her clothes in an instant......

When he watched the girl look in his direction with a stubborn smile even though she knew that her life was coming to an end......

At that moment, Mu Ziru felt that his heart was throbbing slightly. That kind of pain was more painful to the bone marrow than all the inhuman torture that the Wu clan had given him in the past half month, and it suffocated him.

At that moment, Mu Ziru felt that he was so useless, he couldn't even save that girl. He couldn't even let her get out of the pain soon!

When the Great Elder of the Wu Clan sneered and put the scimitar in her hand on Mu Ziru's neck, saying that he was going to end Mu Ziru's life, a man wearing a white expressionless mask on his face and a white Confucian robe suddenly descended from the sky like a god to save Mu Ziru's life.

No one could see how the masked man moved, and when the Wu clan people reacted, he had already knocked the great elder of the Wu clan out with one palm, and untied the rope that bound Mu Ziru.

The masked man told Mu Ziru to run away, but Mu Ziru, who was untied, did not listen to the man's words and fled immediately, but stumbled down on the high platform with a breath, and stumbled to the girl who fell to the ground and had been looking at him from beginning to end.

When he ran to the girl's side, Mu Ziru's legs suddenly weakened, and he suddenly sat down next to the girl, and under Mu Ziru, the girl's blood slowly flowed all over the ground.

The blood was so red that it even dyed Mu Ziru's already stolen clothes into bright red colors, and soaked the original scarlet ground even more vividly.
