Three Silver Needles

"Shangguan Clan Head is here!"

Someone shouted from the crowd. Everyone turned their heads. When they saw that indeed the Shangguan family came in, the crowd retreated quickly to make a way for them.

When the woman on the ground heard this, she crawled, intending to stand up. But, when she finally stood up, her legs were caught and pulled by the whip until she fell back to the ground and received another lash at her back.

"Ah! Father, help me...help me…"

The woman cried in an anguished voice. The Shangguan clan head and Third Elder who rushed in were all in shock. When he stepped forward and saw this scene, the Shangguan clan head yelled loudly.

"Stop it!'

"Bang!"

A lashing sound rang out following his shout. A miserable shriek resounded again. When the wail reached the Shangguan clan head's ears, anger surged in his heart.

"I said stop!"
