Incarnation Of Gods: Endless War

Third-person POV

Wei Yunru widened his eyes in shock. Before he could even utter a word, Qiyi and Qier appeared behind him and grabbed both of his arms. The corner of his lips arched into a gentle smile.

"If this official may ask, what am I guilty of?" Wei Yunru inquired.

Weisheng arched his brows and threw Wei Yunru's crime reports to the floor in front of him. Wei Yunru's face paled but he still maintained his smile.

"That is what you are guilty of," Weisheng said with a stern voice.

"My apologies Your Majesty Emperor. It seems like you misunderstood the whole situation." Wei Yunru explained with a calm expression.

"Speak," Weisheng took the teacup beside him and sipped the tea.

Wei Yunru stared at the papers in front of him and his mind was in a chaotic jumble. The date, the place, and the names that were written on the papers are so detail and precise that he didn't know how to object.

Seeing that Wei Yunru froze in his spot, Weisheng glanced at Lu Deng Xin and gave him a meaningful gaze. Lu Deng Xin bowed to Weisheng and snapped his fingers. Several eunuchs came into the hall with piles of papers.

They placed it in front of Wei Yunru and retreated to the side to wait for the next instruction from Weisheng or Lu Deng Xin. Lu Deng Xin gracefully walked to Wei Yunru's side and picked a paper from the piles.

"Wei Gongzi, if the reports that His Majesty Emperor show you are not sufficient, I think this proves you are indeed guilty." Lu Deng Xin calmly spoke.

Wei Yunru gritted his teeth in frustration, his whole family were too lenient and careless about what they did when they clearly aware that it was strictly prohibited. Just because he was a close aide of the emperor, they became big-headed and relied on Wei Yunru to clean up after them. They thought that by having Wei Yunru talk to Weisheng, they would be forgiven.

'Those morons!' Wei Yunru shouted in his heart.

"But…" Weisheng started.

Weisheng placed down his teacup and stared at Wei Yunru with dead eyes. Wei Yunru looked up to Weisheng and gulped down his saliva.

"…that is not your biggest crime…" Weisheng continued.

Black flames suddenly ignited around Weisheng.

"I had thought of you as my friend but you decided to betray me," Weisheng growled.

The teacup beside him shattered and the tea spilled instantly evaporated into the air from the heat of Weisheng's black flames. Wei Yunru was silent, he knew that it was futile to lie to Weisheng now.

"I never asked you to think of me as your friend." Wei Yunru smirked.

"You finally revealed your true self." Weisheng swiped his finger then a black flame shoot towards Wei Yunru's knee and crushing it to dust.

Wei Yunru screamed in agony.

"With this many crimes that your family involved themselves in, I have no choice but execute them," Weisheng said emotionlessly and swiped his finger again to destroy Wei Yunru's other knee.

"Kill them! I don't even care about them! If I'm going to die, they will follow me to hell!" Wei Yunru yelled with his eyes bloodshot red.

"Fine, you will see them soon." Weisheng's shadow expanded and caught Wei Yunru's every limb.

"Wh-what are you doing?!" Wei Yunru paled as the shadow that bind his arms and legs got tighter and tighter every second passes by.

"At first, I want to give you a quick and painless death…" Weisheng paused.

Then he took out Hong er's earrings and stared at it with crestfallen eyes.

"…you took the most important person in my life. You will suffer until better dead than alive." Weisheng growled and his shadow around Wei Yunru tightened to its limits.

Cracking sound of Wei Yunru's bones were heard loud and clear. Lu Deng stared at the horrifying scene in front of him with tranquil eyes like it was a field of flowers. Wei Yunru's howl resounded throughout the Main Palace.

(A/N: In the Main Palace, there is a main hall for meeting kind of thing. And there was the emperor's resting room and etc. Very expansive because Weisheng usually spent his time at the Main Palace before he married to Hong er.)

Outside of the palace, there were guards holding down another few ministers that form an alliance with Wei Yunru. They were bound onto chairs and forced to listen to Wei Yunru anguished scream.

Then the door to the main hall flung open, revealing Wei Yunru's body being crushed by an unknown shadow. The color on their face instantly vanished, they started to struggle and begged for forgiveness.

A few minutes passed by rather quick for Weisheng and Lu Deng Xin, but to Wei Yunru, it felt like years.

"Didn't you say you want this throne? To become a dragon? I granted your wish. Now your body is as flexible as a dragon." Weisheng said nonchalantly.

With his shadow, he stretched Wei Yunru's limbs and made him face the ministers that were bound onto the chairs. Wei Yunru's head was numb from the pain of every millimeter of his bone crushed to pieces, he couldn't think of anything except escaping from the unbearable pain.

"Kill me…kill me…" Wei Yunru weakly whispered under his breath.

However, Weisheng only stared at Wei Yunru with deadpan eyes. A huge cylinder of black iron emerged from the ground, the ministers looked at the iron cylinder that was steaming hot.

"Do-don't tell me…" one of the ministers mumbled in disbelief.

"Watch closely, all of you will take turns hugging this iron cylinder. Wei Gongzi will demonstrate how to enjoy it." Lu Deng Xin explained with a pleased smile on his face.

Wei Yunru vigorously shook his head as his body was pulled closer and closer to the iron cylinder. Not far from him, he could feel the heat emitting from the iron cylinder.

"N-no…no no! No!" Wei Yunru shouted with every strength he had.

An ear-deafening screech echoed throughout the Main Palace and caused some of the ministers to pass out from fear. But they were slapped awake by the guards beside them and forced them to watch Wei Yunru grilled alive.

Weisheng raised his hand and Wei Yunru's body was pulled back. His fleshes ripped from his body and stuck to the piping hot iron.

"Where is my Empress?" Weisheng inquired with his glowing red eyes glared at him.

The corner of Wei Yunru's lips arched into a smirk, a chuckle escaped from his throat as Wei Yunru looked at Weisheng with a ridicule gaze.

"Ha…haha… I don't know…." Wei Yunru said with a smirk.

Then once again, his body was pressed against the iron cylinder. The scream of agony continued for another minute before Weisheng pulled him back again.

"Speak," Weisheng's voice grew darker.

Wei Yunru panted heavily with his head lowered. Weisheng used his shadow to grab Wei Yunru's hair and pulled his head up. A wide smirk crept up to Wei Yunru's lips as he saw Weisheng's grim expression.

"Only…Murong Qing know… You think I would let you have a happy life while mine is hell?!" Wei Yunru screeched.

From the looks on Wei Yunru's eyes, Weisheng affirmed that Wei Yunru indeed clueless about Hong er's whereabouts. Wei Yunru is a very sly and smart fox, he was aware that the first person to be caught would be him or Murong Qing.

Therefore Wei Yunru only helped Murong Qing to make a plan on how to catch Hong er and get her out from Chang An. Other than that, he didn't care what Murong Qing wants to do to Hong er.

Considering Murong Qing's obsession with Weisheng, she definitely wouldn't tell Hong er's location to Weisheng as Hong er was the obstacle in her and Weisheng's relationship, or so she thought.

Weisheng clenched his jaw and threw Wei Yunru onto the iron cylinder till there was no sound coming out from Wei Yunru except a sizzling sound from his flesh being cooked. Then he pulled off Wei Yunru's head from his neck and tossed it to Qiyi.

"Hang it after the rest arrive at their residence. His body….feed the dogs." Weisheng nonchalantly said and left the hall.

"Yes, Your Majesty Emperor." Qiyi and Qier bowed their heads.

The ministers desperately begged for forgiveness as their pants were wet with their urine. The guards mercilessly squeeze them onto the iron cylinder and on that day, the Royal Palace was filled with screeches of people being cooked alive.
