Chapter 166 Setting Foot in Japan

Qingyun Small House.

In the gloomy dungeon, the sound of a whip striking flesh and accompanied by agonizing screams occasionally echoed through the air, sending a chilling sensation through anyone who heard it.

A Japanese man was bound to a wooden post, his body lacerated and torn open. Gu Beichen was forcefully lashing him, eliciting pitiful wails from the man as he endured unimaginable pain.

Step—step—step.

Footsteps approached from outside the dungeon. Accompanied by the round and rotund man, Ye Xuan casually walked into the Water Prison, prompting Gu Beichen to put away his whip and stride quickly towards Ye Xuan.

"Sir, I have finished the interrogation. This man is a member of the Muramasa family. They used Xia Qingzhu and her father in order to reclaim the Muramasa Demon Sword," Gu Beichen said.

"Ye... Ye Sir... I beg you... grant me a swift death," the Japanese man pleaded weakly, for Gu Beichen's merciless whipping had left him severely injured and close to death.
