In a dark and spacious hall, one could faintly hear whimpers and helpless moans. In the dim light, one could see a large number of immortals, both men and women. At that moment, these immortals were all naked and hung by copper-colored chains. Some of them were unconscious, while others slowly opened their eyes. They stared in horror at the huge cauldron placed in the center of the hall.
The cauldron was pitch-black in color, and its surface was engraved with the face of a ferocious demon. Beneath the cauldron were broken limbs. These limbs were like scaffolding, supporting the huge and bloated cauldron. The top of the cauldron emitted a pungent black smoke, and green light flashed from within. It was unknown what was being refined, but if one listened carefully, they would be able to hear screams coming from within.
The people hung up stared at the cauldron in horror, and their bodies trembled violently.
"Heh, how pitiful. Look at them, what do they look like??"
The two immortals standing at the entrance of the hall leaned against the wall and looked mockingly at the people hung up.
"Don't you think they look like pigs?? Boars and sows? Huh? Don't you think so?? Hahahaha … "
"Yes!! Yes!! Hahahaha … "
The two's mocking laughter echoed throughout the hall, but none of the people hung up felt angry. They were already surrounded by fear and had long since lost all other emotions.
Creaking sounds rang out, and at that moment, the door was pushed open.
The two people who were still laughing wildly immediately stopped and hurriedly bowed to the newcomer.
The newcomer was an elderly man dressed in a black robe. He carried a long dao sword on his back and held a horsetail whisk in his hand. His sunken eyes casually glanced at the two disciples at the entrance, then he walked in without saying a word.
"Ugh …"
When the old man walked into the hall, whimpering sounds immediately rang out. It sounded like crying, but also like struggling. Fear and despair filled the entire hall.
The old man held the horsetail whisk and walked around these people. His eyes carefully sized up each person's body. Finally, his gaze lingered on a man and a woman …
"Open the cauldron."
The old man turned around and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall immediately boiled over. Everyone frantically shook their bodies as if they wanted to break free from the iron chains that bound their wrists. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not escape. These people who used to be called immortals were now like fish on a chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.
"Yes, Master!"
The two disciples hastily cupped their fists and quickly walked to the side of the cauldron. They each made a hand seal, and the heavy lid of the cauldron immediately floated up. A towering mist spewed out from within, accompanied by a large number of miserable screams.
The people who were hung up looked inside the cauldron, and a terrifying scene appeared in their line of sight. Inside the cauldron, there were corpses that had been roasted to the point that they did not even look human. They were all dead, but their souls were struggling on the corpses, and for some reason, their souls seemed to be pinched by the corpses, and they could not break free no matter how hard they struggled. They could only suffer the corrosion and roasting of the evil fire in the cauldron along with the corpses, and the scene was extremely tragic.
The old man looked at the terrified expressions on the faces of the people who were hung up, and his serious old face actually revealed a strange smile. He walked to the side of the man and woman, and circled around their bodies. He stroked the beard on his chin and said: "Second stage of the Spirit Profound Immortal Realm, good foundation, strong soul, good equipment for refining pills, add the two of them in."
"Yes, Master."
The two disciples nodded. They walked to the side and pulled the iron chains on the wall.
In an instant, the two Immortals who were hung by the chains were pulled towards the mouth of the cauldron.
"Ah!!!!!"
The man and woman let out shrill cries. Even though they did not have much strength left, they still managed to find the strength to struggle in their final moments. However … the only thing they could do now was struggle. Their strength had already been sealed. It was impossible for them to escape this terrifying hall.
"Hehe, since you've been captured by me, you should obediently become my human flesh refinement materials. When this divine pill is forged and consumed by me, it would be your honor, wouldn't it? Hehehehe … "
The old man said with a smile. The more these people struggled, the more afraid they became, the more terrified they became. The smile on the old man's face became even wider.
The iron chains dragged the man and woman slowly into the cauldron. The elders ignored their whimpers and screams and just stared at them.
Plop.
The iron chains binding their wrists suddenly broke, and the two of them fell into the cauldron's mouth like kites with their strings cut.
Almost at the same instant that the two of them landed, the heavy lid of the cauldron was immediately closed. The flames beneath the cauldron suddenly increased in size, and the terrifying flames roasted the cauldron in a frenzy.
"Ah! Ah!!!! "
Shrill screams rang out from within the cauldron. The cauldron shook slightly. It was clear that the people inside were struggling intensely.
However, the old man's expression was relaxed. He quietly watched the struggling cauldron. In just a few breaths' time, the cauldron calmed down.
Everything … returned to normal. Only the people who were being hung up were still whimpering and crying.
This place was like purgatory …
The old man nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and said to the two disciples, "Look after this cauldron. Don't let the fire extinguish."
"Yes, Master," the two said respectfully.
"Mm."
The old man nodded and walked out.
…
…
Whoosh!!!
A gust of wind blew, and a large number of figures flew at lightning speed towards the deep blue, ocean-like thick clouds in front of them.
The thick clouds were vast and boundless. They occupied the entire sky in front of them. The clouds were so thick that even Immortal Qi could not seep through them. If people walked in, they would most likely lose their way. It was like a thick wall that blocked the way in front of them. However … What was surprising was that there was a huge opening in the middle of the thick cloud layer. This opening was very magical. It was like a door that led directly to the other side of the cloud layer. This was the Qiong Gate.
"Spread out and hide."
Wei Ming shouted. He took the lead and dashed to the right side of the Sky Door. He used an Immortal Art and disappeared completely. When the other followers saw this, they immediately followed suit. Before they could reach the Sky Door, they had already disappeared without a trace.
Although they were invisible, they were actually hiding to the side, using the power of the Immortal Artifacts to conceal their figures.
"Use the Immortal Artifacts. We must not let anyone detect our presence. It's best to hide here, understand?"
Wei Ming said after he became invisible.
"Elder, there's no one here. Do we need to be on guard against anyone?" A disciple of Ling Long Palace asked curiously.
"Who said there's no one here?" Wei Ming snorted and said, "It's just that you guys haven't seen it! This is the Sky Door, close to the Eight Harmonies Gate. Many Loose Immortals who pass by here have mysteriously disappeared. If we're not wrong, they've most likely been captured by the Eight Harmonies Gate. If there's no one hiding here, then they're on the other side of the Eight Harmonies Gate. In short, there are many tricks here. We just need to keep an eye on them. "
"What if someone appears?" The disciple asked again.
Wei Ming's face sank when he heard this. "As long as it's someone from the Eight Harmonies Gate, kill them all. No need to show mercy!"
"Yes."
Everyone shouted.
A group of people stood guard in front of the Sky Door. Looking into the distance, there was no one here.
After waiting for an unknown period of time …
"I believe the Lord should be here soon. Yuan Zhu, go ahead and take a look."
At this moment, Wei Ming spoke again.
A female disciple flew out and directly rushed forward.
However, she didn't fly for long before she turned back.
"Elder, someone's coming."
The disciple called Yuan Zhu said.
"Is it the Lord?" Wei Ming asked.
"Lord?" The disciple called Yuan Zhu was slightly suspicious. "Who is the elder referring to?"
Hearing that, Wei Ming was startled for a moment, only then did he realise that he did not reveal the matter of Su Yun to his disciples, even Xing Bai and Qin Qianlong were the same, they only told their disciples that it was an alliance between a few sects, that was all.
He coughed and said: "You all should know that our Da Ling Long Palace has already formed an alliance with the Hidden Dragon Hall, Carefree Palace and the Immortal Seeking Sect, right?"
"This disciple knows."
Everyone nodded.
"Then, this Lord is the Alliance Leader of this alliance."
"Alliance Leader? May I ask if it's Sect Leader Qin Qianlong or Sect Leader Xing Bai? "Yuan Zhu asked again.
"It's neither." A trace of fear flashed past Wei Ming's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "It's the one who killed Kui Yang, the protector of the Immortal Seeking Sect. His strength is actually far above ours!"
"Ah?" Everyone was shocked.
"Regarding the matters of the Lord, you all don't need to say anymore, in short, following this Lord will only be better than following Kui Yang, you all just need to understand this point, I will bring you all along, you all will not be at a disadvantage." Wei Ming spoke once more. When he spoke up to here, he noticed that he'd said a bit too much, and he hurriedly added on. He had the intention to take this group of disciples as his trusted subordinates, and it would depend on whether these disciples had the ability to comprehend. In truth, Wei Ming knew about these disciples, although they were all elite disciples, but in the past, Kui Yang did not care about them, and many of the difficult missions in the Da Ling Long Palace were assigned to them to complete, but the things they obtained were only the standard rewards, and Kui Yang rarely asked about it, although these elites did not say anything, but these elites still had a knot in their hearts, people were like that, if others did not care about them, they would not be reluctant to part with others.
"Disciple understands."
Yuan Zhu nodded.
"Then, how are the people that you found out about dressed?"
"They are all dressed differently, their clothes are not the same."
"They are most likely not our people, be careful."
Wei Ming bellowed.
Everyone nodded, and immediately went into hiding.
Soon, several figures appeared in the distance, all of whom were rogue cultivators …
