Evil of all ages

Chapter 203 The illness worsened
When Li Xingji saw Huang Taichu come out, he was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized what was going on.

It's all fake.

Everything was an illusion; his perceptions were all framed by Huang Taichu.

Huang Taichu was not the son of the Ghost King.

He is the Ghost King!
"how did you do that?"

Li Xingji still wanted to know how Huang Taichu had subdued Li Tianwu.

“When he failed to break through and was dying, I appeared in front of him and told him that I could not only save him, but also help him succeed in breaking through.”

Before Huang Taichu could finish speaking, Li Xingji interrupted anxiously:
"Impossible, he is utterly loyal to me."

"If I tell him to have the child, he will have the child."

“If I order him to die, he will commit suicide without hesitation. He would never choose to live and betray me.”

Huang Taichu glanced at Li Tianwu, who simply lowered his head and remained silent.

"You're right, he was quite unruly back then."

“He doesn’t want to live, nor does he want to break through to become a Grandmaster.”

"I'd rather die than betray you. You even consider my words to be heresy and don't want to listen. I just want to end my own life as soon as possible."

"I hate being rejected the most."

"The more he doesn't want it, the more I want to give it to him."

"I not only restored him to health, but also helped him break through to become a Grandmaster."

“I branded him with a slave mark and tortured him for a long time, but he still outwardly obeyed but inwardly remained unconvinced.”

"I wanted to brainwash him or distort his thoughts, but it's not satisfying to subdue such an unruly person like that."

“I made him reincarnate several times in his subconscious, so that he could see and experience my true power, and then he became obedient.”

Huang Taichu said with a smile.

When Li Xingji saw that Li Tianwu remained silent, he knew that what Huang Taichu said might be true.

"So, on your wedding day, the Grandmaster-level expert who went to support you was one of them?"

Li Xingji asked.

"right"

Huang Taichu replied casually.

"That's impressive. You've got control over two major government agencies, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Zhenwu Division."

Tell me.

"Are you a time traveler?"

"Or is it an extraterrestrial demon?"

"Or perhaps something even more mysterious?"

Li Xingji was deeply troubled. Even Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu had betrayed him. How many people in the entire court were still loyal to him?

He was especially struck by the fact that the Ghost King could not only keep Li Tianwu alive after his failed breakthrough, but also help him succeed in his breakthrough.

This does not mean that the Ghost King can mass-produce Grandmaster-level experts.

How is this still playing?
Capable of mass-producing Grandmaster-level experts.

Besides Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu, there must be many more people in the imperial court who are the Ghost King's men.

The Ghost King could change the dynasty in the blink of an eye.

However, given the situation, he knew he couldn't change anything.

Besides, he won't live past tonight.

What is there to cherish after death?
Once he thought about it that way, he became more open-minded and carefree.

Now he's curious about what kind of person Huang Taichu is.
"you guess"

Seeing that Li Xingji showed no fear and accepted everything calmly, Huang Taichu felt no sense of accomplishment.

I'm a little annoyed.

When Li Xingji heard the phrase "guess," he wasn't particularly affected, but he could sense that the Ghost King was somewhat displeased with him.

It perfectly mirrored how he failed to meet the Ghost King's expectations.

The more this happened, the more secretly pleased he became.

So what if he's the Ghost King?

So what if you have supernatural powers?
There's nothing we can do about a mere mortal like him.

To have swayed the emotions of the Ghost King with a mortal body, and to now sleep eternally, is worthwhile.

"What exactly is your purpose?"

While he still has some time, ask him everything you need to know.

The Ghost King replied that satisfying his curiosity and then dying would be a win.

The Ghost King didn't answer, and it didn't matter to him.

"Do you think that at worst you'll just die, and nothing else matters?"

Instead of directly answering Li Xingji's question, Huang Taichu asked him a question in return.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingji remained silent, but his silence gave Huang Taichu a slightly provocative feeling.

"You have some nerve. Aren't you afraid I'll let you live, let someone take your place, and let them enjoy everything you have?"

"And you yourself were made to wear an iron mask and locked up next to the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince, where you were tortured by the jailers every day?" Huang Taichu said with a smile.

A flicker of emotion crossed Li Xingji's eyes, but it was only a flicker; there was still no fear in his eyes.

He stood there, not speaking, responding to Huang Taichu with silence.

"I like people like you, arrogant, unwilling to bow your heads, and stubborn..."

"This way I won't be lonely, and I can slowly enjoy the process of turning you all into spineless cowards."

Huang Taichu grinned; he loved playing with his toys until they broke.

"I will not let you succeed."

Li Xingji, with an unknown source of strength, suddenly turned around and rammed his head into the dragon carriage.

Suddenly, he couldn't move his body.

Even though his forehead was only an inch away from the imperial carriage, he was forcibly restrained.

This made his eyes widen in surprise.

Then his body, out of his control, turned back to its original position.

"You're supposed to be a Ghost King, how can you be so stingy?"

"Can't you even give me a modicum of dignity?"

Li Xingji was an emperor, and even though he was very flustered inside, he still maintained a calm demeanor.

"mean?"

"Even the strong have tempers, let alone someone like me."

"Don't worry, if you want to die, I won't stop you tonight. I'll let you die a natural death."

"But don't think that dying is the end of it."

"I am the Ghost King, an existence that specializes in toying with souls."

"The first step is to put your soul into the body of the children sent to the castration room, so that you can experience the feeling of being castrated again and again."

Upon hearing this, Li Xingji panicked completely.

He was an emperor on earth; to be castrated and become a eunuch—what a humiliation that was!

It wasn't just one castration; it was castration every time, until the Ghost King was satisfied.

At this moment, he was filled with regret, cursing himself in his heart for being so foolish as to view the Ghost King from the perspective of a mortal.

The King of Oblivion is capable of manipulating souls.

Regardless of how much he regretted it, Huang Taichu continued.

"The second step is to put your soul into the body of a stray cat or dog."

"Experiencing the feeling of being homeless and starving is a mild one; the important thing is that people nowadays are starving."

“Especially for beggars, stray cats and dogs are expensive food.”

"You mustn't let them catch you, or they'll devour you alive."

"They really swallowed it whole, because they were beggars, and generally couldn't start a fire or put you in a frying pan."

"By the way, a leopard can't change its spots. I wonder if you can suppress your instincts and not eat shit."

"If you go and eat shit, no one will laugh at you, because only I know that you, the emperor of the world, are wolfing down shit in some corner."

"The third step..."

"In the end, your fate is still in the Heavenly Prison."

"Put your soul into a prisoner's body, and let the jailers hang you up and beat and torture you day and night."

"Don't be afraid of being beaten to death. There are plenty of death row inmates in the prison. If one is beaten to death, we'll just put another prisoner in and continue to beat and torture him."

"Never-ending"

At this moment, Li Xingji finally realized he was afraid, and fear appeared in his eyes.

He wanted to say something, but he found that not only had he lost control of his body, but the Ghost King had also taken away his right to speak.

You might ask, why torture you instead of making your soul disappear completely?

"First, you are shameless. We let you leave the prison and showed you mercy, but you allowed Ye Wuji and the other two to slaughter the people in the prison."

"If it weren't for this, you could have truly died peacefully tonight, but unfortunately you acted foolishly."

"Secondly, it's because I'm bored."

"As the controller of the Heavenly Prison, I always feel uneasy when there are some important people imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."

"And that's how I developed my collecting habit."

"With the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince already here, there was no place for you. You just delivered yourself to our doorstep."

"It's good to have one more person. It's better that the Heavenly Prison is holding earthly emperors."

"But I'm not satisfied; this is just the beginning."

"If I could, I would want to lock up anyone with power and influence."

"You won't be lonely, because you'll see many familiar faces in the prison in the future."

Huang Taichu was thrilled.

The more Li Xingji feared, the more satisfied he became.

Sure enough, his condition worsened.
