Shen Luo could not help but frown when he saw this scene from behind a boulder.
"You bastards of the Demon Clan, you will die a horrible death …" A disciple of Fangcun Mountain shouted.
"Let me go, let me go! I'm an elder of Overwave City. We're on the same side. How can you treat me like this? "An elder of Overwave City shouted angrily.
"Let us go, you bastards. Our Stone Gate Sect has close ties with the Tang Empire's government. Aren't you afraid that the Tang Empire's government will investigate if you kill us?" A tall and skinny youth shouted.
They and many other small and medium-sized Sects had been tempted by the Cave of Coiling Silks. Seeing that Overwave City was also involved, they had followed along. They had thought that they would be able to take advantage of the situation and reap some benefits, but they hadn't expected that they would end up in such a situation.
However, no matter how much they cursed and shouted, it was useless. No one paid any attention to them.
They were either tied up with ropes made of beast tendons or pasted with Restriction Talismans. They could not resist and were forced to kneel beside the giant pit.
Shen Luo was in the crowd. He saw the person who slandered him and called him a traitor.
However, that person was not tied up. Instead, he was standing beside the demons with a smile on his face.
"Why is this person standing with these demons? He doesn't look like he's being controlled. Could this person be a traitor like Jueming and Juean? That's why he tried to slander me. If that's the case, the destruction of the Yi Wood Eight Trigrams Immortal Formation around the giant pit must have something to do with this person."
Shen Luo frowned and clenched his fists. He had made up his mind: This person must be killed.
"Do it." Hua Shiniang shouted.
The descendants of the Demons immediately stepped forward. They took out weapons from their sleeves and placed them on the necks of the elders and disciples who were tied up.
Their actions were uniform. They raised their arms and slit the throats of these people.
"Chi Chi" sounds were heard at the same time. Large amounts of blood spurted out and gushed into the giant pit. Most of the blood splashed on the ground and dyed the rune formation red.
The blood on the ground flowed along the lines of the runes, and a dense smell of blood instantly spread out.
Hua Shiniang looked at this scene with a smile on her face. Chi Rong also took a step forward and took a deep breath of the bloody smell that permeated the void.
The cultivators who had their throats slit had different physiques from ordinary people. They had a cultivation base, so they wouldn't die for a while. However, as their blood was drained, they lost all their strength and fell to the ground. They opened their mouths wide and struggled to breathe, but could only make intermittent sounds of inhaling.
At this moment, they looked no different from livestock that were casually slaughtered.
"Continue." Hua Shiniang yawned and waved her hand casually when the blood of this group of people was almost gone.
The fiendish demon disciples walked forward and kicked those who were still alive into the crater. They crashed into the golden pillar of light and were burned to ashes as they fell.
Soon after, dozens of people were brought up and forced to kneel on the ground just like the previous people.
Some people were still cursing loudly, some were already crying and on the verge of collapse.
"Spare me, spare me, I'll be your slave, I'll be your spy … I'm begging you, don't kill me … I'm begging you …" A gray-haired elder cried and begged.
Hearing this, Jie Wu suddenly frowned and walked up.
With one hand, he grabbed the old man's hair and pulled him up. With the other hand, he placed the knife against the old man's neck.
"I'm only fit to be the King's dog, and you want to be his cow and horse? Go to hell … "He said viciously as he slit the man's neck with his knife.
The rest of the demons followed and slaughtered the group of people.
Shen Luo watched from the side, gnashing his teeth in hatred. However, he could only forcefully resist the urge to charge out. There were three Demon Kings guarding this place. With his strength alone, he would definitely not be able to contend against them. If he charged out rashly, he would only be courting death.
As more and more blood seeped into the sinkhole, the Blood Sacrifice Restriction Breaking Array on the ground started to glow. It formed a circular light screen around the sinkhole and rushed into the sky.
In the sky, the red light gathered and attracted a thick blood cloud, which gradually enveloped the golden light pillar.
…
At the same time, in the depths of the sinkhole.
On a huge platform, the disciples of Fangcun Mountain and many villagers of Longevity Village were sitting in various places. It was unknown when they had appeared here.
Ron was among them. He was severely injured and unconscious for some reason.
Everyone was covered in injuries and their morale was very low.
"Damn it, Jie Wu that bastard also defected to the enemy!" Elder Cat Demon said angrily.
A rotting wound appeared on his back, which looked like it was caused by a sneak attack from something like a flying sword.
"If he didn't bring people into the restriction and suddenly attack us, and destroy the restriction array from the inside, the Yi Wood Eight Trigrams Immortal Array wouldn't have been broken in such a short time. Fortunately, there is more than one layer of restriction in the sinkhole. Otherwise, we wouldn't even have any way out … "Elder Gui said angrily.
Elder Gui was injured. His left arm had been chopped off from the shoulder. However, a green talisman was pasted on the wound and it was no longer bleeding.
"The enemy is more skilled. What's the use of complaining?" Patriarch Bodhi didn't look like he had any new injuries, but his aura was even weaker. He frowned and shouted.
Elder Cat Demon and Elder Gui heard the anger in Patriarch Bodhi's voice and shut their mouths.
"The people of Fangcun Mountain are blind. Even if all of us die here today, we deserve it. However, how is our young friend Shen? We have wronged him and caused him to be surrounded by those demons. I hope he can leave safely, "Patriarch Bodhi said slowly.
In the message he sent to Sun Wukong, he had clearly told him that Shen Luo could leave on his own. However, he didn't expect him to follow Sun Wukong to Fangcun Mountain.
Elder Gui hesitated for a moment before saying, "In that situation, let alone him, even if it was me … I would have most likely died. There was no way I could escape."
"Damn it. The Celestial Palace and the Great Tang government are sects. They used to be on good terms with us, but this time, no one came to help. When Fangcun Mountain is destroyed, they will be finished sooner or later," Elder Cat Demon said with a cold smile.
"Although the Three Realms appear to be peaceful on the surface, there are turbulent undercurrents. I originally thought that by opening the mountain gates and accepting cultivators from all races, it would help to eliminate the conflicts between the races. I didn't expect to end up like this. Lion Camel Ridge, Coiling Silk Cave, and Demon King's Stronghold have great ambitions. Once they open the Well of Demons and Gods, their strength will definitely increase greatly. It seems that the Three Realms will never be peaceful in the future. "Patriarch Bodhi sighed.
Elder Cat Demon and Elder Gui's expressions darkened when they heard this.
"Given the current situation, it seems that Fangcun Mountain will not be spared. However, our sect's orthodoxy cannot be broken. The main target of those people outside is me. Once the restriction outside is broken, Elder Gui and Elder Wu Chen, use the Stately Painting and immediately rush out with the others. With the power of the Stately Painting, there is a fifty to sixty percent chance that we can escape. Whether or not Fangcun Mountain can be rebuilt depends on you. " Patriarch Bodhi flipped his hand and took out an item. It was the Stately Painting. He handed it to Elder Gui and Elder Cat Demon.
"Patriarch, the situation is not hopeless yet. With your cultivation, as long as you can recover from your injuries, Six-Tusked Elephant King and the others will definitely not be your match!" Elder Gui stood up in shock and didn't take the Stately Painting.
"Jueming, Juean used Chi You's blood poison to sneak an attack on me. It has already begun to corrode my cultivation foundation. Now that the Sacred Bodhi Tree has been destroyed, it is impossible to expel the blood poison. I will have to rely on the two of you from now on." Patriarch Bodhi revealed a smile.
"Patriarch, don't be discouraged. I heard from Shen Luo that Yang Jian already knows about the Lion Camel Ridge and the Cave of the Coiling Silk. He has already joined forces with Yang Jian. With the two of them, they might not be unable to defeat those demons outside." A voice suddenly came from the side. It was the unconscious Ron who had woken up and spoke.
Ron and Jiewu had rushed to the sinkhole earlier. Under the deliberate efforts of the Six-tusked Elephant King and the others, they had entered the sinkhole's restriction. However, after Jiewu had suddenly rebelled, Ron had also suffered heavy injuries and fainted. Only now did he wake up.
"Really?" Patriarch Bodhi's eyes lit up. Beside him, Elder Cat Demon and Elder Gui were overjoyed.
"Perfected Lord already knows the true goal of those demons?" The golden-browed burly man from Overwave City appeared beside Ron in a flash. He grabbed Ron's shoulders and asked anxiously.
"It is absolutely true. Shen Luo told me personally." Ron was shocked and nodded repeatedly.
"Good, this is great. Overwave City is helping the evildoers today. If Perfected Lord can discern the truth, even if I, Star Dome, fall here, I can die in peace." The golden-browed burly man let go of Ron and muttered to himself.
Previously, he had led a group of Overwave City disciples to attack the Bodhi Mystic Realm with Six-Tusked Elephant King and the others. However, the moment they entered the Bodhi Mystic Realm, the people from Lion Camel Ridge and Demon King's Stronghold revealed their true colors and suddenly attacked the cultivators of Overwave City. If Patriarch Bodhi had not saved him with the Mountain River Map, he would have died in the hands of those demons.
The golden-browed burly man had a straightforward personality and was filled with guilt towards the people of Fangcun Mountain.
