The whip in Gu Baihe's hand was snatched away by a Gu Family member whose eyes were already bloodshot with hatred. Without hesitation, he viciously lashed it down at Gu Baijiang.
The very first strike tore straight through his thick clothes, leaving a long, angry red welt across his back. It was obvious just how much force had been used.
Gu Baijiang wailed in agony and dropped to the ground, rolling in the dirt. The burning, fiery pain paralyzed him completely. But before he could even catch his breath, a second and third lash followed in rapid succession.
"Master, save me!" Gu Baijiang was truly terrified now. He hated all the Gu Family members—why did they have to hound him so relentlessly?
Deep down, he knew his uncle's words were true. As the Clan Leader, and given the infamy Gu Baijiang currently carried, he was being punished according to clan rules. There was absolutely no room to reason or appeal.
