The officer bowed and awaited his order. "Celestial Master Zuo, please select your desired prisoners."
Celestial Master Zuo observed the prisoners at the pillars. His eyes blazed like torches. The prisoners trembled when their eyes met his.
"This one. This one. That one." He pointed out ten people, including elders, children, and women.
They were all Gu family distant relatives. These people had lived their whole lives in the simplest and most peaceful ways. They were merely regular people, so none of them had seen or experienced horror like this. When they were being pointed out, their faces were immediately filled with despair. Some cried. Some screamed. Some begged for mercy. However, Celestial Master Zuo had voiced out his command. The executioners quickly tied these people to the pillars.
