The execution ground was located in the center of Shishui City.
This ancient structure had a long and storied past. It was said to have existed for as long as Shishui City itself, spanning an unknown number of millennia. The Lost Souls who had died here were beyond count.
The spectacle Hong Tiande created to avenge Hong Luàn was so immense that it shook Shishui City to its core.
Everyone, from high officials and nobles to common peddlers and laborers, was talking about it.
As Hong Yu made his way through the streets, he occasionally overheard snippets of conversation...
"Hong Tiande's methods are just too brutal. I heard he's rounded up everyone who had any kind of conflict with Hong Luàn in the past four or five months!"
"Getting rounded up is the least of it. I heard Hong Tiande is dead set on finding the killer. He's going to execute anyone he deems suspicious as a sacrifice to his grandson."
"Isn't he afraid of causing a public outcry?"
