Gong Jie drew his knife and stabbed the man in the thigh. It was extremely painful, but not fatal.
He questioned again sternly, âAre you going to tell me or not?!â
The man finally wavered and began to beg! âJust kill me! Just kill me! Stop torturing meâ¦â
âIâm warning you. Iâm giving you one last chance. Otherwise, I have nothing but methods to torture you until you wish you were dead!â Gong Jie stabbed him in the waist again.
!!
The man screamed like a pig being slaughtered. âI⦠Iâll talk⦠Iâll talkâ¦!â His body shuddered as he struggled to enunciate each word. âThe Sect Master is righteous. He thinks⦠he thinks that⦠that man has the bloodline of the Holy Son. Moreover, he wishes⦠he wishesâ¦â
âWhat does he wish?â
âHe wishes to use that hostage as the final sacrifice. He has decided to use that Holy Son as the sacrifice. Tonight, all the believers⦠will gather in the square. Then, they will accept the last favor of the Sect Master and follow him with their livesâ¦â
Gong Jie was stunned when he heard that. He suddenly recalled what Vermilion Bird said.
The bucket in the plaza held strawberry juice laced with cyanide.
Tonight, Jim will call all the believers to gather in the plaza. Everyone will drink the poisonous strawberry juice and commit mass suicide. Moreover, they will burn a living person as a sacrifice before dawn.
âToday we all die, but tomorrow he will resurrect us!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mass suicideâ¦
How insane!
Gong Jie interrogated, âSacrifice? How?â
The man replied, âThe Sect Master intends to tie him to a cross and set him on fireâ¦â
âWhat!?â Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. The insanity of it.
Gong Jie was furious. âWhere is he now?!â
âNow⦠now, he should have been brought to the plaza?!â
âWhereâs the plaza?â
The man suddenly stopped talking. It was obvious that he was unwilling to reveal so much information!
âAre you going to tell me?â Gong Jie gripped the Defense Master tightly, his eyes as cold as a ferocious beast waiting for an opportunity to hunt in the dark.
The man was half scared to death and finally confessed everything. âIâll take you there! Iâll take you there⦠Please, donât torture me anymore!â
At once, Gong Jie stood up, looked around, and issued an order. âPrepare weapons and a car for me!â
âBut, Young Master Jie, thereâs crossfire everywhere now. Itâs too dangerous to do such a rash thing!â
âCut the crap!â The man turned around with a murderous aura. âGo get ready!â
â⦠Roger⦠weâll prepare right away.â
â¦
âLong live the Sacred Temple!â
âLong live Jim!â
âLong live the Sacred Temple!â
âLong live the Holy Son!â
Hua Jin was jolted awake by the majestic roars of the crowd. He opened his eyes in a daze. Before he fully regained consciousness, he saw a huge plaza before him under the moonlight.
On the plaza, a crowd of disciples gathered together. Some were holding babies, while others were supporting each other.
He was shocked. Just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly saw a man in a black robe walking in front of him and a bucket filled with something.
âWhat are you doing?â
Before he could see what was in the bucket, he saw the man pick it up.
Instantly, he was drenched by a rain of gasoline!
