After they successfully sneaked into the passage, there were no guards around. It's not that the security was not tight enough, but there was no need for it to be so tight. There was only one entrance in the whole area, so there were very few guards. The main thing was to guard the key areas, the other areas didn't need to be guarded at all.
Just because the security was not tight, it didn't mean that there were no guards. After they had stealthed for a certain distance, five guards quickly walked towards them.
Ye Qingxuan quickly signaled Yi Tianyun to stop, and then quickly squatted down. In the blink of an eye, she merged with the wall. Unless someone attacked with a weapon, they would never find out that Ye Qingxuan was hiding here.
Yi Tianyun also squatted down and stuck to the wall, completely disappearing from their line of sight. The Concealment Divine Talisman can't be used to hide people, it's easy to see through it unless the other person's cultivation is too low.
But once they squat down and stay still, as long as it's not a very strong Core Transformation Cultivator, they won't be able to detect their existence.
The five guards passing by were not low cultivation, the leader was a Spirit Core Cultivator, the rest were Core Condensation Cultivators. Basically, there are no guards below Core Condensation Cultivator here, so it's impossible to enter this place with low cultivation.
The guards glanced at their surroundings and didn't find anything strange. They continued to patrol and didn't stop at all.
Obviously, they didn't notice their existence, so they continued to leave.
After they walked far away, Ye Qingxuan quickly got up and walked forward with Yi Tianyun. After a few turns, they entered another area, where they can see thick cages made of extremely hard materials, it's very difficult to break them.
There are rows of rooms here, in which many cultivators were imprisoned with shackles on their hands and feet. These are not ordinary shackles, they can limit their strength. Even if their cultivation is not low, under these shackles, their strength will be greatly reduced.
"You dogs of the Netherworld Empire, let us out!"
"If you let us out, your Netherworld Empire will be destroyed sooner or later!"
"Please let me out, I'm willing to do anything for you …"
Some of the cultivators locked in the cages would rather die than submit, while others kept begging for mercy. They looked quite miserable.
"Quiet down! Do you want to die?!" The guard angrily stomped on the cage, causing a 'dang dang' sound to resound throughout the area.
"Let us out, you dogs of the Netherworld Empire!" One of the cultivators rushed up and laid on the sturdy cage, roaring, "You will all die a horrible death. Even if you die, you will never be able to reincarnate!"
"Damn it, then I'll let you die first!"
The guard did not hesitate to stab the spear in his hand, piercing through the cultivator who had pounced on him. Then, he quickly withdrew his spear. The cultivator's eyes widened as he lay on the ground, twitching non-stop. It seemed that he was not far from death.
"Who else has any complaints? Speak up. I guarantee that you won't be able to speak for the rest of your lives!" The guard glared at them, not caring about their lives at all.
All of a sudden, a lot of people's voices weakened, they did not dare to continue to resist. The guard simply wanted to kill them without mercy.
"I, I am willing to join the Netherworld Empire, I am willing to serve …" One of the Core Condensation cultivators said while trembling.
"Alright, then you can come out and eat this pill!" The guard opened the cage and pulled him out, then handed him a pill and said coldly.
"I'll eat, I'll eat …" The Core Condensation cultivator quickly swallowed the pill, but who knew that as soon as he swallowed the pill, his body began to twitch and scream. Several dark veins appeared on his body, it seems that he was poisoned.
After a while, the guard took out another pill and stuffed it into the cultivator's mouth. Soon, the cultivator recovered and his eyes were filled with fear.
"This is a temporary antidote pill, if you don't obey, then you will suffer the pain of thousands of insects! You must take it every once in a while, otherwise, you will die! Don't expect to find a real antidote pill, only the Netherworld Empire has this kind of pill! " The guard picked him up and threw him to one of his men: "Take him away, it seems that his strength is not bad, let him work in the mine! Of course, if any alchemist really concocted the antidote, then he will not be far from death! "
Immediately after, the guard coldly looked at the group of cultivators and said, "Are there any of you willing to surrender? Don't worry, no one will save you in this lifetime. If you don't obey our orders, then you can only die here!"
"I, I am also willing!" One of the Core Condensation cultivators quickly walked over and said: "I, I can forge weapons, can I get better treatment?"
"Of course, no problem, I will send you to forge weapons, the treatment is definitely better than those miners." The guard handed him a poison pill and motioned him to swallow it.
The blacksmith hesitated for a while, but in the end, he still consumed the poisonous pill. Following that, he began to scream in pain, and it was no different from before. After feeling the pain for a while, the guard gave him the antidote pill, temporarily alleviating the invasion of the poison. They first let these prisoners feel the pain, then they will know how powerful the poison is, so that they will not resist.
"Take him to the refining room, let him forge weapons!" The guard waved his hand and motioned his men to take the prisoner away.
"Who else wants to join, if you want to join, take this poison pill, if you don't take it, you can't leave!" The guard stared at them and said coldly.
Yi Tianyun who was hiding on the side saw this scene, this is simply a coercion to force the cultivators to join the Netherworld Empire. These cultivators' cultivation is not low, all of them are at Core Condensation level, and they have some skills.
Yi Tianyun roughly understood that the Netherworld Empire wants to capture a lot of people to work for them, and then use this poison pill to severely restrict them. This kind of overbearing behavior is much faster than slowly training disciples, and the effect is immediate, and there is no way to resist.
Resistance is death, anyway, killing them won't waste any of their resources. This Netherworld Empire is really overbearing, as long as they do not obey their orders, they will all die!
"The Netherworld Empire should be destroyed!" Ye Qingxuan said coldly.
"Yes! Now I have a good way to quickly escape from here. "Yi Tianyun said with a smile.
"What way?" Ye Qingxuan asked.
