Ye Haoxuan glanced at the booklet on the desk. The old man was indeed a Taoist priest from Qingxu Temple in Liuzhou, but ten years ago, he had been expelled from the temple for violating its precepts.
This Taoist priest wasn't seventy-eight this year either, but fifty-eight.
He really wasn't any good thing.
The old man's heart chilled under his gaze, a vague sense of foreboding rising within him.
"Men, drag him down and subject him to death by a thousand cuts. Let's see if he truly cannot die."
"Yes!"
"Get away from me, get away!" the old man shouted. "I am the Jade Emperor's envoy in the mortal world. If you dare harm me, you'll suffer retribution."
"With a so-called envoy like you, the Jade Emperor must be blind."
Ye Haoxuan ignored him and simply waved for them to take him away, to carry out the execution right at the County Office gates.
