Chapter 2172: Chapter 2172: He Doesn’t Want to Die Yet

By now, he was already in so much pain that his whole body was breaking out in a cold sweat. After a series of agonizing screams, he endured the pain on his face and hands and glared at Leng Yikun with the eye that could still open.

“Who are you to dare barge into the torture chamber? Don’t you know… ugh!”

Before he could finish his sentence, he fell to the ground under the terrified gaze of the jailer.

“You… you… did you kill him?!”

The jailer’s hands trembled as he pointed at Yuu Rong, who had just killed the guard without a word, just killed him mercilessly?

This was someone by the Emperor’s side, just killed like that?

“Nonsense.”

Leng Yikun let out indifferently, then turned to look at the man tied to the rack.

“Are you Shang Que?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

Shang Que was all groggy and weakly responded.

“You’re really in a miserable state, aren’t you?”

Leng Yikun shook his head. If he wasn’t mistaken, this man would be the future Emperor of the Beikun Kingdom. He didn’t expect him to be in such a miserable condition.

But then again, enduring extreme hardship makes one superior. It’s not bad to suffer a bit.

He took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured a medicinal pill from it, and fed it into Shang Que’s mouth, fearing that without the medicinal pill for healing, this man might die before reaching the palace.

“Untie him.”

After administering the pill, he turned to the jailer and ordered.

The chains binding Shang Que were made of iron and locked. He could forcibly break them, but tearing the chains would also injure the man, so he decided to be more gentle.

“Yes.”

The jailer, having no choice, trembled as he came forward to unlock it.

Fearing that if he didn’t respond, he might end up like the guard lying on the ground, he didn’t want to die yet.

After the chains were loosened, Shang Que was almost dragged along by Leng Yikun and the State Knight, without any strength in his body. It was only later learned that to wear down his will, the guard had not given him food for several days.

Fortunately, they didn’t walk all the way here. With a triceratops, sitting on it, they could quickly reach the front of the imperial study room.

While outside, Leng Yikun also bought some food for Shang Que, allowing him to eat on the way. This way, by the time they reached the imperial study room, he wouldn’t pass out from hunger, right?

But even so, when Shang Que, covered in blood-stained clothes, stood in front of An Jiuyue, he also left her stunned.

“How did this man end up like this?” she couldn’t help but ask Leng Yikun.

“Replying to the High Priest, it seems that the Emperor of Beikun’s people wanted to coerce a confession or something. They have been continuously torturing Shang Que. I administered medicinal pills for his injuries which only then improved his condition slightly,” Leng Yikun responded after scanning the Emperor of Beikun, whose tongue had been cut and was dragged back in by Yuu Rong.

“Coerce a confession? Are they trying to forcefully pin a crime on the Shang family so as to justify destroying them?” An Jiuyue also directed her gaze onto the Emperor of Beikun.

Seeing An Jiuyue look his way, the Emperor of Beikun shivered, shrinking in fear.

His tongue had already been cut, surely they wouldn’t do more to him?

And Shang Que…

Seeing this person who used to constantly sabotage him, he felt extreme hatred. But now, he couldn’t do anything and could only watch as Shang Que received the High Priest Demon Heart’s favor.

“I cannot stay here for long. I’ll leave these with you.”

An Jiuyue directly took out two Paper People and sent them to stand by Shang Que’s side.
