In the prison, the old Confucian from the Ink Pool took an iron brand.
The front half of the iron brand was in a coal furnace, heated till it glowed red, and the very tip was carved with a character.
Upon closer look, Ning Zhuo found it was the character "Ren" (Benevolence).
The old Confucian from the Ink Pool, holding this "Ren" character brand, walked up to the Silent Ghost General.
The Silent Ghost General was bound, unable to move, only gazing calmly at the old Confucian from the Ink Pool.
Without a single hesitation, the old Confucian pressed the iron brand directly onto the forehead of the Silent Ghost General, right between his brows.
Chizzz...
The glowing red iron brand seared a trail of black smoke into the Ghost General's forehead.
In an instant, the air was filled with the stench of burning flesh.
The old Confucian pressed the brand firmly for five full breaths before slowly pulling it back and placing it back into the coal furnace.
