"Is that the exit that leads to another place?" Elder Feng enquired excitedly.
They had been trapped here for so long. Now, they had finally found a way out.
What he didn't expect was that the appearance of these soul cultivators was a trap. But from the looks of it, they had actually benefited from them.
If it wasn't for the appearance of these soul cultivators, they would have to walk in vain. It was unknown how many times they would have to turn these spiritual lamps to find the correct direction.
"Don't be anxious. There might be danger!" When Cheng Yu saw Elder Feng was about to rush over, he stopped him.
"Young Master, it shouldn't be. It seems like it's really leading to another place!" Elder Feng stamped his feet.
"Don't be anxious. Whether it's leading to another place or not, we will know once we get someone to lead the way!" Cheng Yu spoke. Then, he looked at those soul cultivators and said, "You guys lead the way!"
"This … we have no way to leave this hall. Otherwise, we will be sealed and killed!" Those soul cultivators immediately retreated in fear.
"Then I can't be bothered so much. If we don't try, how would we know?" Cheng Yu didn't mind.
Although he also had such a guess, if he didn't try, it would just be a guess.
Perhaps, they might be able to leave this place. If they were really able to leave this place, he would have another idea.
Compared to human cultivators, soul cultivators actually had their own unique strength. If they didn't have a special restraining technique, if they were to face ghost cultivators of the same level, human cultivators would really be at a disadvantage.
Just like Elder Feng and the others. Originally, they were all experts in the Crossing Tribulation Realm. But when they encountered these soul cultivators, they were somewhat helpless.
Of course, this didn't mean that their strength would definitely be weaker than ghost cultivators of the same level. The main reason was that most of the human cultivators didn't have a good understanding of soul cultivators.
Regardless of ghost cultivators or soul cultivators, they didn't have a good understanding of them.
But on the contrary, these soul cultivators had a good understanding of human cultivators. After all, these soul cultivators were once human cultivators.
Under such circumstances, they even knew the weakness of human cultivators.
It was also because of this, when they suddenly encountered a group of soul cultivators, human cultivators would be helpless, just like Elder Feng and the others.
Therefore, Cheng Yu even had the thought of bringing all these soul cultivators away.
But first, he had to see if the soul cultivators were telling the truth. Furthermore, he was worried that there might be danger lurking beneath the throne.
According to his speculations, there was a high chance that these soul cultivators wouldn't be able to leave the palace. However, whether they could leave this hall and go to other places in the palace was unknown.
Therefore, he wanted to test the soul cultivators.
If they couldn't leave this place, he could try something else.
As for whether or not these soul cultivators were willing to leave with him, Cheng Yu did not even consider it. From his point of view, there was no other way for these fellows to be trapped here. If they could leave this place, these fellows would definitely be willing.
However, even if these guys were unwilling to leave, as long as they could leave, Cheng Yu would still force them to leave.
After all, it was very difficult to find such good helpers in the mortal world. Although there weren't many soul cultivators here, only a few thousand, if they could form a small soul cultivator team, it would be a very powerful team.
If he were to suddenly send out such a team during the war with the dynasty, it would definitely have a miraculous effect!
Although the number of experts in the Cheng Family couldn't be compared to the dynasty, their experts were somewhat mixed. It might seem messy, but if this kind of miscellaneous army was able to form a team, it would be much more terrifying than the dynasty's official army.
At least the Cheng Family experts wouldn't panic when they saw the dynasty's army. But if the dynasty's army saw the Cheng Family's inhuman army, what would they think?
Cheng Yu couldn't help but feel happy because he had already accumulated a lot of trump cards. To him, if he were to be like the dynasty, gathering so many human experts was something impossible.
After all, how could Cheng Yu compare to the dynasty's accumulation in the mortal world?
Ever since the Holy City disappeared, the dynasty had been accumulating. So many years had passed, but how long had Cheng Yu been in this world?
Even if he were to gather all the experts in this world excluding the dynasty, he reckoned that they wouldn't be a match for the dynasty.
It was precisely because of this limitation that Cheng Yu could only find another way to find all the strange experts in the world. These experts could be human or inhuman.
Moreover, in terms of the Cheng Family's overall strength, the inhuman army in Cheng Yu's hands had long surpassed the human cultivators.
It's just that the strength of this inhuman army couldn't be revealed to the public yet.
In this way, even if the dynasty noticed the Cheng Family was constantly expanding their forces, they wouldn't be too bothered.
After all, compared to the dynasty, the Cheng Family's strength was too weak.
In the cultivation world, they might be able to fight against the various dynasties, but if they wanted to compare to the dynasty, they were simply overestimating themselves.
Therefore, if the Cheng Family didn't touch the dynasty's backbone, the dynasty would temporarily not carry out a large-scale annihilation of the Cheng Family.
And during this period of time, it was also the time for Cheng Yu to work hard to accumulate strength for the Cheng Family.
Therefore, when he saw so many soul cultivators, Cheng Yu started to be tempted.
Actually, compared to those treasures, he wasn't really interested in them. Unless these treasures were like the Heaven Splitting Mirror, an existence that could kill people.
Therefore, Cheng Yu was only interested in the Yang Mirror. Other than that, he was very interested in the mysterious and powerful soul cultivators.
Although he already had some strange beasts and ancient giant beasts in his hands, the number was still limited. He didn't think that just relying on these few powerful beasts would be enough to destroy the dynasty.
Therefore, these mysterious and powerful forces were the most suitable for his appetite.
"Fellow cultivator, we really have no way to leave this place. Otherwise, we will really disappear from this world!" The soul cultivator in the lead said with a troubled expression.
"Whether you can leave or not doesn't concern me. Moreover, whether you can really leave this place, I also have my own way of judging.
Now, you will lead the way for us. Otherwise, don't blame me for using my pill fire to serve you! "Cheng Yu said unmoved.
"Fellow cultivator, I beg of you. We really can't leave this place. If we really lead the way for you, only death awaits us.
Since that's the case, you can directly use your pill fire to kill us. In any case, we will die either way. Compared to being sealed and dying painfully, we would rather be instantly devoured by your pill fire! "Another soul cultivator stood up and said.
"You really don't want to lead the way for us?" Cheng Yu asked.
"It's not that we don't want to, but we can't. Although we have already died once, it wasn't easy for us to preserve our primordial spirits and become soul cultivators. Even if we are trapped here forever, we still hope to stay in this world.
Please, Fellow Daoist, on account of the fact that we used to be humans, please spare our lives! "The soul cultivator spoke with sincerity.
There was a tiger in front and a wolf behind. Whether they advanced or retreated, only death awaited them.
Being forced to this point, they still hoped that they could start from Cheng Yu's side. After all, if he really led the way for them, they would undoubtedly die. There was no room for negotiation.
But if Cheng Yu didn't force them, they would naturally be able to survive.
"Since that's the case, I won't force you!" Cheng Yu said.
"Thank you, fellow cultivator. Thank you, fellow cultivator! "Hearing Cheng Yu agree, these soul cultivators immediately heaved a sigh of relief and were pleasantly surprised.
In fact, thinking about it, they were really pitiful. They originally thought that the humans who barged into this place would only kowtow to them and beg for mercy.
But how could they have imagined that they could only be controlled by others and be forced to kowtow to others and beg for mercy?
However, as long as they could keep their lives, it would be the greatest fortune.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Perhaps after I finish speaking, you might be even more grateful to me!" Cheng Yu said with a faint smile.
"This … I wonder if fellow cultivator has anything else to say?" Those soul cultivators immediately stopped smiling, and their emotions couldn't help but become nervous again.
Although Cheng Yu said that they would be even more grateful to him, they didn't think so.
Looking at Cheng Yu's smile, they even felt fear. Obviously, although Cheng Yu promised not to force them to lead the way, he didn't intend to let them go so easily.
"Do you want to leave this palace and return to the human world?" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"Return to the human world? This … Is this possible? "These soul cultivators were all stunned. Obviously, they didn't expect Cheng Yu to ask such a question.
Return to the human world? That seemed to be just a distant dream.
When they came here from the human world to search for treasures, they were originally very happy to see this palace. But what they didn't expect was that this would become their eternal nightmare.
Now that they had lost their physical bodies, they could only forever become soul bodies, and they were sealed in this palace forever.
Would they still have a chance to return to the human world?
"Of course, as long as you are willing, I can bring you back to the human world!" Cheng Yu said.
"You? You are trapped in this place and can't even protect yourself. How can you bring us out?
