Mighty Lord

Chapter 1474: Chapter 546 Confession_2

Without a doubt, Zhou Tian, having just experienced a betrayal, was very displeased with that kind of gaze, so after glancing at that group of Beastmen, Zhou Tian couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

"Continue with the torture!"

Following Zhou Tian’s angry roar, upon receiving his order, his Beastmen subordinates once again resumed their punishment of the traitors.

As a result, under a succession of severe torture, though many of the previously resilient Beastmen suffered greatly or died, there were still some who refused to open up. However, eventually, a few Beastmen who could no longer persist chose to speak out at that time.

There was nothing really incomprehensible about it; perhaps these Beastmen had chosen to betray Zhou Tian out of a common ideal. But after betraying Zhou Tian, they had indeed initiated a rebellion. And since they had betrayed Zhou Tian before, it was not surprising that they would choose to betray again under the torment of severe torture when they could no longer endure it.

"We confess, stop the torture."

"Traitors, you will not die a good death!"

"Ptui!"

"What are you looking at? These guys still have so much spirit; it seems your punishment isn’t good enough! If even torture is something you can’t handle properly, what use are you?" After scolding those Beastmen in charge of torture, Zhou Tian then immediately gave the order, "Take those who have spoken out and put them in separate rooms. I would like to hear their answers. If it turns out their stories don’t match up... Heh heh!"

After hearing Zhou Tian’s words, several Beastmen inevitably lowered their heads.

Under the unbearable severe torture from Zhou Tian, indeed, a portion of the Beastmen had considered faking their surrender. They had no intention of betraying anyone behind them. They just planned to use the opportunity of feigned capitulation to gain Zhou Tian’s trust and then see if they had a chance to commit suicide.

Regrettably, though the thoughts of those Beastmen were good, Zhou Tian’s arrangements effectively foiled their efforts at that moment.

Whether it was true or not would be clear after comparison, and under Zhou Tian’s plans, their lies would certainly not be hidden from him.

Thus, the mentality of those Beastmen was inevitably affected.

As the punishments arranged by Zhou Tian continued to befall the Beastmen, it made their suffering worse than death. Given the situation at that time, if death had been an option, those Beastmen who had enough of the torment would have likely chosen not to cling to life.

And at that time, those so-called surrendering Beastmen, in their attempts to avoid the constant severe torture, considered faking their surrender. In doing so, they did not even think of going against Zhou Tian; their only goal was to die.

However, now, based on Zhou Tian’s plan, when those Beastmen realized they had no way to deceive Zhou Tian, they then changed their decision.

Perhaps at the beginning, those Beastmen only thought of death and had no intention of betrayal. But when they saw that deceiving Zhou Tian was impossible, those Beastmen, to avoid returning to the torture, did not mind turning their deceit into reality, betraying their own by revealing the truth to escape Zhou Tian’s torture.

In the situation those Beastmen faced, they could not afford to utter a word. Once they made their decision, it was inevitable that their hearts would be affected – if their plan succeeded, all would be well, but upon encountering obstacles, the things they would never have considered doing might suddenly become possible under the panic of the moment.

As a result, the group of Beastmen, who originally had no intention of betrayal, after being led to individual rooms and pressed by Zhou Tian, ended up revealing everything they knew.

Yet, when Zhou Tian finally heard the answers he sought, he simply could not accept reality.

Zhou Tian had considered who might have been leading the betrayal against him, but initially, he never suspected the actual target. It was only after interrogating several Beastmen and obtaining the same answer that Zhou Tian was able to confirm the target of the betrayal.

At first, upon learning of the betrayer, Zhou Tian was quite incredulous. However, after calming down, Zhou Tian only needed to think about the person in question’s character to realize that, indeed, there were reasons why they would betray him, given their nature. freewebnσvel.cøm

The one who betrayed Zhou Tian was none other than Hu Fei, one of the few women in Zhou Tian’s world at that moment.

Frankly speaking, Hu Fei had not appeared before Zhou Tian much lately, especially because for quite a long time, Zhou Tian had been diligently improving his cultivation level. Normally, even managing the Beastman Tribe left him with little spare time, let alone engaging in leisure pursuits with her.

However, although Zhou Tian had not contacted Hu Fei for a long time, this did not mean he was indifferent to her.
