Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 949 - 0 Torture! (Fourth Update)

Ancient Lands, Jin Clan.

A confined underground chamber. Jin Shanshun’s hands and feet were completely shackled by iron chains, rendering him immobile. His appearance was pitiful, the blood at the corners of his mouth had dried and flowed again, dried and flowed again, repeating over and over, now forming a dark crust. His face bore no intact flesh, and his entire body endured relentless torment daily.

Cough... cough...

Jin Shanshun regained consciousness. Yesterday, he had blacked out several times from the torture inflicted by Jin Tianyi and Jin Yunping. His injuries had worsened, especially on his thighs and chest, where dead flesh had begun to appear. Coupled with the unsanitary environment, there was a high chance of maggots festering.

Clack... clack... clack...

A series of heavy door-opening sounds echoed. The iron door creaked open as Jin Tianyi and Jin Yunping once again stepped into Jin Shanshun’s presence.

These were the two disciples of the Elders Jin Mu and Jin Shui, who, with Ye Qiu’s clandestine aid during the Jin Clan’s martial arts competition, were bested by Jin Zhimo.

Seeing Jin Shanshun glaring at them with wide-open eyes, they couldn’t help but be a bit surprised. Jin Tianyi remarked, "This guy’s life force is stubborn, huh? Still has the strength to glare at us."

Jin Yunping chimed in, "Looks like you went too easy on him yesterday, Tianyi. It’s my turn today. To ensure he comprehends our power, I especially prepared an iron whip."

With that, Jin Yunping shook his waist slightly. A crisp cracking sound echoed through the air as a two-meter-long whip materialized before their eyes.

"Yunping, this whip is quite something," Jin Tianyi commented, glancing at the iron whip.

Jin Yunping grinned smugly, "Naturally. For our distinguished Young Master Jin, I specifically had countless sharp iron wires, each the length of severed fingers, intricately embedded throughout the whip. Just imagine—the sensation when it lashes into flesh, with those wires piercing deep—it must be exhilarating."

"And, of course, pain alone isn’t enough. To maximize the whip’s potential, I soaked it overnight in a special concoction of itching powder. A single lash will leave the body itching unbearably. Heh... the dual sensation of excruciating pain and maddening itchiness—it should be an experience our Young Master Jin won’t forget anytime soon."

After finishing, Jin Yunping cackled maniacally.

Even Jin Tianyi shivered at the thought, instinctively stepping back from the iron whip. "Brother Yunping, that’s truly ingenious. With this, I refuse to believe Jin Shanshun won’t spill the beans!"

The two of them, utterly ignoring Jin Shanshun, discussed their plans to torment him further, bursting into bouts of gleeful laughter.

Ever since their masters, Elders Jin Mu and Jin Shui, successfully seized power, the entire Jin Clan had fallen under their control. No one dared dissent. As the senior disciples of the elders, Jin Tianyi and Jin Yunping naturally wielded significant authority now. To fulfill their masters’ orders, the two had volunteered to interrogate Jin Shanshun, leading to the grim scene before them.

But Jin Shanshun’s unyielding silence surpassed their expectations. Extracting information from him proved to be exceedingly difficult. Ever since his imprisonment two months ago, no amount of torture had made him speak a word, his resolve unnervingly strong.

"Young Master Jin, we brothers are here to visit you again and even brought you a gift. So, how long do you want to play with us today?" Jin Tianyi sneered coldly.

Jin Shanshun remained silent.

Jin Yunping stepped closer, unafraid of Jin Shanshun’s restrained and sealed state. Using the whip’s handle, he prodded Jin Shanshun’s head. "Still pretending to be mute, huh?"

Jin Shanshun glared fiercely at Jin Yunping and spat at him. The spittle hit Jin Yunping squarely, filling him with a mix of disgust and rage. With a furious swing, he lashed Jin Shanshun hard with the whip.

Hissss...

The whip struck his flesh, sending waves of agony and relentless itching through his body. Yet Jin Shanshun didn’t scream, only letting out a sharp hiss.

Ptui!

Jin Yunping spat in return, his gaze venomous. "Bastard, spitting on me!" He lashed Jin Shanshun again, the whip tearing off bits of flesh and staining its surface with blood and tissue.

"Jin Shanshun, how does it feel? My whip—does it suit your taste?" Jin Yunping asked, his voice dripping with malice.

"I suggest you come clean. Where has that rogue Ye Qiu gone? And what about the Primordial Pills? Where are they hidden, and how did you acquire them?" Jin Tianyi interrogated.

"You traitorous scum—you want to know? Too bad. Even if I die, I won’t tell you," Jin Shanshun growled through gritted teeth, his body writhing in agony but his determination unshaken.

"Hmph. Then enjoy more of this whip!" Enraged by his stubbornness, Jin Yunping began swinging the whip viciously, each lash tearing into Jin Shanshun’s flesh. Jin Shanshun endured over a dozen lashes, silent but for his gritted teeth, before losing consciousness.

Jin Tianyi promptly dumped a basin of freezing water on him, jolting him back to consciousness.

"How about now? Speak, or remain silent?" Jin Yunping demanded.

"Betraying the Jin Clan, conspiring for power—you two will one day suffer what I suffer now!" Jin Shanshun cursed.

"Still so insolent!" Jin Yunping lashed at him again, turning him into a bloody mess. Jin Tianyi gestured for him to stop, worried the injuries might kill Jin Shanshun, which would thwart their plans.

"Brother Yunping, we have time. Let’s toy with him gradually. He might resist for now, but he can’t resist forever. Patience," Jin Tianyi persuaded.

"Fine. But this guy’s stubbornness will anger the elders if we don’t deliver results soon," Jin Yunping replied.

Jin Tianyi admitted as much. Despite their best efforts and cruel tactics, Jin Shanshun refused to relent. They were at a loss.

Suddenly, an idea struck Jin Tianyi. He leaned closer to the newly-awakened Jin Shanshun and said, "Young Master Jin, I have to say, I admire your resilience. But is your loyalty to that rogue worth your suffering?"

"Don’t even dream of learning Ye Qiu’s whereabouts from me," Jin Shanshun spat resolutely.

Jin Tianyi chuckled. "Jin Shanshun, do you know who you’re dealing with? Do you think the elders seized control of the Jin Clan without powerful support? Let me enlighten you—we now serve the Mu Clan. This interrogation is at their behest. Young Master Mu himself promised: speak, tell us everything we want to know, and you’ll be released. We’ll grant you a path to survival."

Jin Shanshun sneered. Though surprised at the Mu Clan’s involvement, he refused to believe their promises.

Noting his unchanged expression, Jin Tianyi shifted tactics. "Alright, Jin Shanshun, you’re a tough guy, willing to face death for that rogue. But what about someone else? Don’t you care what happens to your sister?"

At these words, Jin Shanshun’s face twisted into a feral snarl. "What do you want with Zhimo? If you’re so capable, come at me instead!"

His furious reaction brought delight to Jin Tianyi. Finally, they’d found a weak spot. "That girl humiliated us during the Jin Clan martial arts competition when it was still your father’s domain. We swallowed that humiliation then. But now..."

"If you continue your silence, we’ll gladly face your sister again—not in competition but in a different kind of fight. Brother Yunping and I will ensure she properly learns her place. I’m sure we’ll satisfy her together," he said with a vile grin.

Jin Shanshun fell silent. He knew anger would only embolden them, but their threat against his sister made his rage boil uncontrollably. If his cultivation weren’t sealed, he’d have crushed them both without hesitation.

"Young Master Jin, our patience is running thin. Here’s your final chance: save your sister or keep guarding that rogue’s secrets. Think it over. By this time tomorrow, if we don’t get the answers we want, you can imagine what fate awaits your dear sister." Jin Tianyi issued the ultimatum cruelly.

With that, Jin Tianyi and Jin Yunping exited the damp, grim chamber.

Jin Shanshun was left alone in the darkness, torn between saving his sister and holding firm to his oath. The dilemma weighed heavily on his mind.
