In the north of the Jade Pure Realm, an enormous brown cubic rock stood on the ground.
This cubic rock was 99, 000 feet long, 99, 000 feet wide, and 99, 000 feet high.
On its surface, an exit opened for every thirty feet in the span of its entire height.
Its inside was hollow, giving way to many intricate caves and passages.
This place was called the Heavenly Square City, and it was one of the headquarters of the Four Spirits Sect.
In a room on the upper left part of the Heavenly Square City was a wounded man dressed in cotton clothes.
His hands and feet were tightly tied by four iron chains, pulling his limbs straight.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A white whip thrashed violently in the air and lashed hard at the man, landing on his already frail body.
Clap!
As the white whip hit him, it emitted a beaming ray of silver-white light, which was the Light of Annihilation.
The man in cotton clothes was a Treacherous Being.
It was difficult for ordinary punishment methods to damage a Treacherous Being. However, if they were hit by the Light of Annihilation, they would feel pain as when ordinary mortals were stabbed by thorns.
This was the case for only the resentment-level and hatred-level Treacherous Beings.
Once the hostility-level Treacherous Beings came into contact with the Light of Annihilation, they would instantly turn into fine gray ashes.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
The man's clothes were torn and stained with blood as he had suffered many beatings for several days.
The one who smacked the whip was a human woman. With each hit, she reprimanded the man solemnly, "Do you understand the gravity of your crime, Alphonse?"
Clap!
"Do you understand the gravity of your crime, Alphonse?"
Clap!
"Do you understand the gravity of your crime, Alphonse?!"
The man's name was Alphonse Shen. He was the chief of the Joy House, which was affiliated to the Human Spirit Sect.
The woman, on the other hand, was a subordinate of the Joy House.
Despite the stern expression on her face, she enjoyed no pleasure from the abuse. Her eyes revealed the pity she felt.
The Joy House was responsible for guarding the Treasure Bottle Platform to protect the Godly Way energy.
Things had been fine in the past chaotic eras. Unfortunately, the Godly Way energy was stolen by the Nihility race some days ago.
As the chief of the Joy House, Alphonse had to take responsibility for an unforgivable mistake.
Clap!
The woman had whipped him day and night.
She feared that if she continued to hit him with the Light of Annihilation, he might get beaten to death.
Without saying a word, Alphonse silently endured the torment.
A voice suddenly spoke from outside the room.
"General Alphonse, how have you been doing these days?"
the voice asked with a hint of mockery.
When the woman heard the voice, she frowned and whipped more forcefully.
If she was seen with favoritism to the chief, he would only receive greater blame and suffering.
A person came into the room and motioned her to stop beating. She then paused, carefully retracted the whip, and stepped aside.
She dared not touch the whip as it contained the tremendous Light of Annihilation.
The visitor was a middle-aged man from the Ten Directions House. It was General Gianni.
Alphonse was the chief of the Joy House while Gianni was the chief of the Broad House. They were at the same level; however, whether before or after becoming a Treacherous Being, Alphonse had always remained stronger than Gianni. They regarded each other as rivals.
