These people were clearly experts, and they were well aware of the consequences if they failed. The black-robed soul was instantly pierced into a sieve.
Lu Chen covered his mouth tightly, and his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets … But as his life force gradually weakened, the shock on his face gradually calmed down, and his eyes even seemed to be smiling.
A wisp of black smoke escaped from Lu Chen's fingers. Lu Chen tried to let go, but that person's eyes were smiling, and his expression was a little crazy. "You … can't escape!" After saying this, he fell limply to the ground.
"Nameless, why … is he smiling?" Li Wei felt that something was amiss, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Lu Chen shook his head. "I've heard of a saying before. When people die, they become ghosts, and when ghosts die, they become skeletons. And in the Underworld, there's also a skeletons area. I'm thinking, could he have gone to the skeletons area …"
"Ah! Then won't we be exposed soon? "Ironwood said anxiously.
Lu Chen's expression was serious. "We don't know much about the situation here, so we have to prepare for the worst. Before they catch us, we have to save the three of them!"
Everyone quickly found a hiding place and flipped through the accounts.
"Linger should have entered the Underworld twelve days ago. Let's just check the records of that day," someone suggested.
Lu Chen quickly checked the accounts. There was a memo in the records from twelve days ago.
[The escapee is a human girl. She looks to be seventeen or eighteen years old. Her main weapon is the Purple and Green Twin Swords. She escaped the encirclement under the cover of a Soul Collecting Banner. She escaped in the direction of the Ghost Soldier Area. Her current whereabouts are unknown.]
Seeing this, Omen was extremely excited. "This is referring to Linger. Linger uses the Purple and Green Twin Swords. Master also gave her a Soul Collecting Banner!"
"That's great, Linger really escaped." Ironwood and the others also let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Chen flipped to the records from ten days ago. On this day, it was recorded that Wu Xuan and Skyfall had escaped.
"Nameless Brother, your two good friends have also escaped!" Ironwood said.
Previously, Lu Chen had only said that the two of them were 'disciples', but he did not say that he was the Dean. Ironwood had thought that Lu Chen was their Senior Brother.
"Those two brats are still somewhat useful." Lu Chen shook his head.
Since they had arrived at the Sun Draw Cauldron, Lu Chen and the others took advantage of the opportunity to investigate further. However, they discovered that these teams were actually not qualified to approach the Sun Draw Cauldron.
They would follow the staff and push the captured Immortal Cultivators into a total of nine pits according to the designated locations. Then, the mission would be completed.
On the other side of the valley, they saw a group of people carrying out dried corpses. These dried corpses, regardless of gender, age, or race, were all stripped and carried by the ghouls to the black river outside the valley, where they were casually tossed into the river.
Even Lu Chen felt particularly disgusted when he saw this scene.
"They should have been sucked dry of their essence … .There are actually so many of them!" Ironwood was shocked, "If the door to the underworld opens, it will be terrible in the future!"
Lu Chen shook his head, "Our whereabouts may have been exposed. We should not stay here for long. Let's leave here first."
The group quickly left the place.
When they came out of the valley, they did not encounter any danger. However, when they were leaving the city gate, Lu Chen discovered from afar that there were many more guards at the city gate.
Not only did the number of guards increase, but the originally deserted street was suddenly filled with a lot of people.
Lu Chen hurriedly led the team to turn the corner.
"There is something wrong over there! There are at least three times more guards than before! "Lu Chen said in a low voice.
"Have we been discovered?" Tie Mu asked with a frown.
"It doesn't seem like it. The surrounding residents have also come out. So, maybe it's not because of us …" Lu Chen deduced, "Don't worry, let's wait and see."
Just as they were hiding at the corner, the crowd on the street suddenly became restless.
The guards near the city gate quickly got into formation, looking serious and standing straight.
Not long after, a team walked in from outside the city gate.
Several huge and ugly magical beasts opened the way, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. If it were not for their masters following behind them, they would have eaten the onlookers and the guards!
"Are these their battle pets? Three-headed Hellhound, Hell Black Dragon, Dark Fire Poison Dragon … Good heavens, they are all original battle pets! "Ironwood narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lu Chen also opened his eyes wide. This was the first time he had seen such powerful original battle pets since he came to the Sixth Layer of Heaven!
Behind the original battle pets, there were three people, two men and a woman. One of the men was skinny and the other was fat. The woman's side face was somewhat beautiful, but her skin was beautiful. When she turned her head, the skin on the right side of her face was rotten, instantly ruining her beautiful face.
However, although these three people looked strange, the pressure they gave off was incomparable. Obviously, they were the top powerhouses of the City of Dead Souls!
"Look, it's the three spirit envoys! When the spirit envoys come out, how many people can defeat them? Those few people who escaped should have been caught. "The discussion of the nearby residents was heard, and Lu Chen and the rest heard it too.
These three people were the spirit envoys of the City of Dead Souls. No wonder their pressure was so obvious.
Behind the three people, there were three humans being escorted. When they saw these three people, Lu Chen and the rest suddenly had their hearts in their throats.
Wu Xuan, Skyfall, and Linger!
The three of them were all covered in blood. It seemed that they had been captured by the three spirit envoys after a fierce battle.
At this moment, the three of them were expressionless. They should know the consequences of being captured. Here, no one would save them. There was only one outcome waiting for them!
There were some troops behind them, following behind the three spirit envoys, escorting the three of them through the streets.
There was a soldier shouting at the side, "These three people escaped from the City of Dead Souls, but our City of Dead Souls is not a place where they can come and go as they please!"
"As long as they are sent here alive, there is only one outcome, and that is to become our army's provisions, to provide yang energy for our Army of the Dead, so that we can conquer the world of the living!"
The enthusiasm of the crowd was very high, and they echoed loudly.
"Want to run? Don't you know where you are!"
"I don't care who you are. Once you are in the Underworld, you will be at our mercy!"
"With the three spirit envoys, there is no chance of failure!"
The troops escorted the three of them to a square.
The skinny man stood on the stage and said loudly to everyone below the stage, "These three people made us waste some time and consumed our resources. But these three people, one of them is a spirit user with five-colored spirit energy. The other one cultivates the Pure Yang Heart Technique. They are all of the best quality that can provide a large amount of yang energy! This girl cultivates the Xuan Yin Heart Technique. She is a great supplement for cultivation. "
There was a commotion below the stage. "A Pure Yang Body, a Pure Yin Body, and a five-colored spirit user. Oh my, no wonder these three people could escape. They are not simple!"
"Yes, if they were in the world of the living, they would be first-class geniuses."
"Who cares if they are geniuses or fools. I only know that they are delicious!"
The skinny man said loudly, covering the voices below the stage, "Currently, more and more continents are opening the door to the Underworld. It is time for us to test our skills!"
"These three people are the top geniuses of their respective sects. We have already sent out messengers to inform the people in their sects to come and rescue them!"
"When the time comes, we will catch them all in one fell swoop. We can replenish a large amount of yang energy and help our Army of the Dead to conquer the world of the living!"
