The area beyond Evil Spirit Sect was filled with resentment, causing it to be slightly better when seen from afar. However, if anyone looked closer, they would only see a blur. It was as if there were ghosts wailing and wolves howling echoing in the air, and those piercing sounds were enough to make the hearts of all those who came to this place for the first time tremble.
The two people who had brought Su Ming back had also been like this before they entered the sect. As they flew, they believed that Su Ming's pale face was due to his fear towards this place, and they did not suspect the silent Su Ming at all.
As the two people charged forward, they circled around the mountain of Evil Spirit Sect a few times before charging down to the foot of the mountain. Once they landed, they stepped outside a mountain gate. That gigantic gate was also black, and there was a ghastly air about it. At the same time, it looked as if there were countless vengeful souls surrounding it, and they would pounce on all those who wanted to walk past it.
The expression of the person who brought Su Ming remained as calm as ever. He was completely unbothered by those vengeful souls, and with Su Ming under his arm, he took a few steps forward. Once he stepped past the mountain gate, a staircase leading straight to the top of the mountain appeared before the trio.
There were numerous black statues standing on both sides of the staircase. Each of them looked incredibly ferocious, and at the same time a ghastly, chilling air spread out from them, they were also the spots where vengeful souls gathered.
"If you walk down this path of no return, then you will be stepping into Evil Spirit Sect. Boy, do you hear the shrill roars coming from this place?" The person holding Su Ming cast him a glance and said with a fake smile.
"If I let go of you and let you go up on your own, then before you can even take a few steps, you will be dragged by those vengeful souls and become one of them," the other Evil Spirit Sect disciple said coldly. When the other Evil Spirit Sect disciple spoke coldly, he suddenly lifted his right hand, formed a seal, and swung his arm forward.
With it, the staircase instantly became different. It might seem the same, but … there was now an innumerable amount of people. There were men and women, old and young, and all of them were either dressed in rags or were covered in blood. They were struggling and howling on the path, and quite a number of them were staring at Su Ming and the other two with ferocious expressions on their faces, as if they would pounce on them at any moment.
Furthermore, there were countless vengeful souls on either side of the staircase, all of them reaching out with outstretched hands to grab the three of them and drag them over.
"Welcome to Evil Spirit Sect. Here, you will know what hell is and what terror is …" The two Evil Spirit Sect disciples who had brought Su Ming to this place smiled at each other and took a huge step forward with Su Ming between their arms as they walked up the stairs. As they walked, the resentful souls around them swiftly avoided them, as if they were incredibly afraid of these two people.
They did not dare to get any closer. In fact, some of the vengeful souls let out soundless screams when the Evil Spirit Sect disciple with Su Ming in his arms closed in on them because they did not manage to dodge in time. They would rather have their bodies shatter with a bang than touch him.
There was no need to even mention the vengeful souls who had stretched their hands out from the sides of the stairs. As the three of them approached, they seemed to have seen something terrifying, and all of them retreated.
"Senior brother Zhang, there's something off about these vengeful souls … Last time, when I returned to the sect, they weren't like this!" The one who had brought Su Ming to Evil Spirit Sect frowned and said in a low voice.
"That's right. Usually, when they see someone, it doesn't matter whether they're from Evil Spirit Sect or not, they'll pounce on them … I only remember that they would avoid us in fear when the Progenitors of the sect went out, but now …" The man named Zhang who had Su Ming in his arms was also incredibly puzzled.
The two of them could not figure it out no matter how much they thought about it. As they hesitated, they moved forward even faster and brought Su Ming to the middle section of the mountain. Su Ming remained silent all along the way. He looked at the mountain, at the many black halls on it, and the people hanging from them.
In fact, some of the long arcs that would occasionally fly past in the sky would also flash before his eyes.
'Why can Berserkers practice Immortal Cultivation..? 'This was the question in Su Ming's heart towards the existence of Evil Spirit Sect.
Before long, Su Ming saw a man who was about ten feet tall not too far away from the stairs leading up to the mountain. He was bare-chested and had a gigantic wicker basket on his back. He was walking down the mountain, and every few steps he took, he would lift his hand into the wicker basket and bring out some minced meat. There were wisps of black smoke on those minced meat, and when they fell to the ground, the vengeful souls would immediately pounce on them, as if they were trying to devour them.
The man's expression was incredibly ferocious, and there were several scars on his face, which made him look terrifying. When Su Ming and the other two saw him, he also saw Zhang and Zuo, and he grinned. With it, the scars on his face started distorting, as if there were four to five mouths on his face laughing ferociously at the same time.
He looked incredibly terrifying.
Even Zhang and Zuo clearly found it hard to get used to that smile. They quickly moved to the side and made way for him.
"Greetings, senior brother Shan." The two of them wrapped their fists in their palms respectfully.
When the man approached them, Su Ming saw his eyes. They were a pair of eyes with a red glare within them. If anyone looked into his eyes for an extended period of time, they would feel incredibly uncomfortable.
"Why did you bring an outsider to the sect?" When the man walked over, he brought out a large amount of minced meat from the wicker basket and scattered it by the side, attracting the vengeful souls to pounce on it and devour it regardless of the cost.
"Senior brother Shan, this person is a member of the Chen Family that Sect Elder Zhao asked us to bring back when we went down the mountain. He's junior brother Chen Da Xi's younger brother," the man named Zhang who held Su Ming in his arms immediately said.
"Chen Da Xi …" The man cast a sideways glance at Su Ming, and a strange look appeared on his face. As he grinned, he brought out a piece of minced meat from the wicker basket with his right hand and handed it to Su Ming.
"I see, so it's junior brother Chen. I don't have a gift for you, but this piece of soul meat is yours." When Zhang and Zuo saw this, envy immediately appeared on their faces.
A thought appeared in Su Ming's heart. He took the piece of minced meat and wrapped his fist in his palm to bow towards the man.
"Thank you, senior brother Shan."
"You don't have to thank me. No matter which vengeful soul you feed this piece of soul meat to, that vengeful soul will do something for you. Only Inner Sect disciples can have this. Outsiders can't get their hands on it, so you must treasure it. If you can survive for seven days here, then you can thank me." The man let out a ghastly laugh and no longer bothered himself with Zhang and Zuo, he walked down the mountain.
When he left into the distance, the man named Zhang's gaze fell on the minced meat in Su Ming's hands. The eyes of the man named Zuo by his side also sparkled.
Su Ming naturally saw their expressions, and he laughed coldly in his heart. Not only were the people in Evil Spirit Sect sinister, they also did not shy away from internal strife. He had just arrived here today, and he had already seen this scheme with his own eyes.
The man named Shan had clearly given him this piece of minced meat because he had heard of Chen Da Xi's name. Judging by his expression, he seemed to have some sort of grudge against Chen Da Xi.
This might seem like a gift, but in truth, if Su Ming truly had no power and was just a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy, then based on the looks on Zhang and Zuo's faces, he might have ended up creating a disaster for himself.
'Chen Da Xi … Ugly Little Thing's big brother, just what happened to you in Evil Spirit Sect that made that Sect Elder Zhao want your family to come here and this man named Shan, who is in the initial stage of the Berserker Soul Realm, to scheme against me … 'Su Ming shook his head in his heart. Without waiting for Zhang and Zuo to say anything, he handed the minced meat in his hand to the man named Zhang, who was holding onto him.
"Senior brother Zhang, I don't have much use for this, so please accept it."
The man named Zhang smiled profoundly and took it away without hesitation. Once he did so, he cast a glance at the man named Zuo by his side, and the fierce look that had appeared in their eyes disappeared. When they looked at Su Ming, there was a hint of praise in their eyes.
"Junior brother Chen, you're young, but you know how to make choices. Not bad," the man named Zuo said coldly.
"Senior brothers, who was that senior brother Shan just now?" Su Ming immediately asked.
"He's an Inner Sect disciple, and we're from the Outer Sect. It's different … Remember this, Outer Sect disciples are not allowed to fight amongst themselves, but if you run into an Inner Sect disciple, you must be careful, because it's fine for an Inner Sect disciple to kill you, but if you injure an Inner Sect disciple, then there'll be a problem." The man named Zhang seemed to have given Su Ming a reminder for the sake of that piece of flesh.
"But with your current condition, it'll be good enough if you don't get bullied. It's not like you'll provoke an Inner Sect disciple either." As the two of them charged up the mountain stairs, Su Ming saw a few more Evil Spirit Sect disciples walking past them. These people were ghastly and silent, and when they walked past them, Su Ming only saw Zhang and Zuo continuously bowing to them. From this alone, it could be seen that these two people did not have high statuses.
It could also be seen that this Sect Elder Zhao was also an ordinary person in Evil Spirit Sect.
After a moment, Zhang and Zuo brought Su Ming away from the middle section of the mountain stairs. They walked down a small path that extended from the side, and in the distance, they could see a gigantic mountain gate.
"This is where the Outer Sect of Evil Spirit Sect is located. If you go further up, you'll find the Inner Sect. As for the place at the bottom, that's where the livestock are kept and where the laborers are kept. "Once we walk past the mountain gate, we'll bring you to Sect Elder Zhao. As for your arrangements, that's not something we can know.
"But since you gave us that piece of flesh, I'll give you a word of advice. All the Berserkers who practice Immortality in Evil Spirit Sect must soak in the Evil Lake to change the circulation of their blood and activate the Immortal Veins in their bodies. Only one out of ten people who step into the Evil Lake will survive." The man named Zhang smiled ghastly and no longer spoke.
In his opinion, it was absolutely impossible for this person called Chen Su to live for more than three to five days. Especially when he recalled Chen Da Xi's strange death, coupled with the rumors about Elder Zhao in the sect, he was certain that Chen Su was dead for sure.
Before long, they got closer to the mountain gate. When the three of them arrived beside it, Su Ming immediately saw a gigantic python coiled around the mountain gate.
That python hissed and stared at the three of them with a cold gaze, as if it could swing its tail at any moment and devour the three of them in one gulp.
The python was probably several thousands of feet long, and even though it was coiled around the mountain gate, its remaining tail was still dragged far into the distance.
