Chapter 1471: A Sleepless Night

Translator: LawEditor: Hitesh_

Late at night...

Liang Zhu City burst into mournful cries as wisps of dark smoke rose into the sky. The air was suffused by a smell of burnt food, and the ground was covered in mud. The non-humankind army marched into the city and cast a magic to put out the fire. The fire was killed by the water descending from the city, but the city was also turned into a mess.

Buildings were burned into ashes, then soaked in water, forming a two-feet-thick layer of mud. Yu Clan nobles forgot their morbid fear of getting dirty, strugglingly running in the mud and calling the names of their families. In many areas, Yu Clan nobles kneeled by the ruins of their mansions, wailing heartbreakingly.

Corpses were burned twisted, scattered all over the city. Exquisite jewelry could be found everywhere on the ground. Apparently, those were all precious things belonging to Yu Clan nobles.

Except for corpses, the Yu Clan nobles who returned from Chi Ban Mountain did not find anyone from their children, lovers, illegitimate sons and daughters, and their other families. They kneeled on the ground and cried, sounding like the screaming birds on a frosty winter night. People who heard their cries in the distance even had goosebumps raised on their skin.

Ji Hao took away a batch of Yu Clan nobles with the highest social status ahead of everyone else. Afterward, the dragon man, lion man, tiger man, and mammoth man came into the city, and easily kidnapped a large batch of mid-grade Yu Clan nobles as well. Some non-humankind beings in the city were slaughtered by those crazy human slaves, who had nothing but hatred filled in their hearts. By now, very few survivors existed in the city. The Yu Clan nobles had been indulging in the wanton persecution of human beings for countless years, and now, they finally tasted the pain after their families were ripped apart.

There were still a handful of lucky ones. Their families hid in secret rooms and luckily survived the search of Ji Hao's people and the four men, the massacre of rebels, and the big fire, managing to see the non-humankind army march into the city.

These lucky people, who survived through a series of dangers, tremblingly walked out of their shelters and cried, shouting the names of their families who left the city with the army before with hoarse voices. Non-humankind commanders in heavy armors rushed over to them, crying and laughing. They hugged each other with faces covered in tears. They burst into laughter, then began wailing, then laughed again, as if they had all gone insane.

The even shriller cries in the city were from the poor members of the Glorious Domination.

Ji Hao didn't kill those people, and neither did the four men harm them on purpose. The Glorious Domination had great equipment and considerably strong warriors. They messed around in the city for a few days, and by now, a large batch of their people were still in the city. If they were captured by Ji Hao or the four, they wouldn't be so miserable. After all, in the worst case, they would become captives, and obviously, Ji Hao and the four men wouldn't abuse their captives. But these poor Glorious Domination members fell into the hands of the twelve emperors in power.

They were stripped, kneeling in the flattened central area of Liang Zhu City, surrounded by large groups of heavily armored warriors who were all in a towering rage. These warriors stared at them with dagger-sharp eyes.

Some nobles from large families growled in fury, holding all kinds of torture devices as they made their moves on these poor boys in public.

Lashed with a whip woven from the skin of poisonous dragons, ripping off their skins and muscles, knocking them with a three-edged iron stick and breaking their bones; whipping their butts with a club thickly covered in thorns, smashing their muscles and bones with one strike…All weird types of tools were put to use. Thousands of core members of the Glorious Domination had been howling, shrieking, and struggling in the thick mud, ceaselessly begging the torturers for mercy.

The torturers, the fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and great-great-grandfathers of these Glorious Domination members…Everyone had a cold, merciless expression while beating them cruelly.
