Recently, strange things had happened in the Black Jail Sect.
Everyday, there would be workers mysteriously disappearing. At that time, the sect disciples thought that the workers had escaped, but as the number of missing workers continued to increase, they realized that the matter was not as simple as they thought.
In the past few days, the situation had become more and more serious.
It was not only the workers that had disappeared, even the sect disciples could not escape this calamity.
In just a few days, five steward disciples, two inner disciples, and the workers had mysteriously disappeared. If they were alive, they could not be seen, and if they were dead, their corpses could not be found.
No matter if it was the workers or the Black Jail Sect disciples, everyone was panicking.
In the morning, all the workers gathered in front of the mountain gate.
Due to the recent occurrence of strange disappearances, the grim-faced disciples of the various sects began to count the number of odd-job workers.
Indeed, just as they had guessed, another five people were missing.
This was too strange. Every day, more and more people disappeared without a trace. It was as if they had evaporated into thin air, it was really strange.
After dispersing the workers, the worried Black Jail Sect disciples gathered together and began to discuss how to deal with this strange situation.
During this time, the disciples all gave their own guesses.
Some said that it was a spiritual beast that entered the village at night and swallowed the workers, then left at dawn. Some also guessed that the resentment accumulated by the workers for many years gave birth to a bloodthirsty vengeful spirit, which was why such a strange thing happened.
In short, the sect disciples all had different opinions, but their guesses could not stand up to scrutiny.
First of all, if a beast entered the village to eat people, it would definitely leave a trace. This kind of disappearance was obviously not done by a beast.
And the vengeful spirit theory was even more exaggerated, because a newly born vengeful spirit did not have any consciousness. If it really was a vengeful spirit, it would not stop until it killed all the workers. Moreover, the creatures that were killed by the vengeful spirit all died miserably, it was impossible that there was not even a corpse left.
Many guesses were overturned in the discussion, and in the end, the sect disciples still had no clue.
At this time, the eldest disciple Xiao Lang opened his mouth:
"How about this, I will ask master, you guys continue to investigate. From now on, form groups of three to secretly search the Worker Village, and see if you can find any clues!"
Since Xiao Lang had spoken, the disciples naturally did not dare to disobey.
In fact, in their eyes, the odd-job workers were no different from livestock, or even worse than livestock. Although they couldn't find out the reason for their disappearance, they never cared about it, so they were naturally unwilling to patrol overnight for the sake of odd-job workers.
But now, it was different, because the disappearance had already implicated the disciples of the sect, causing them to feel a sense of crisis. Coupled with the words of their eldest disciple, Xiao Lang, they could only agree. After all, this matter could possibly be related to them as well.
…
Di Ling Mountain Range, next to the forest by the lake.
The black tiger sat cross-legged on the ground, constantly inhaling and exhaling the thin spiritual energy in the forest.
This spiritual energy seeped into his body bit by bit, strengthening his physical qualities. His dark skin was covered with a thin layer of mist under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, shining with a black luster.
Black Tiger was no longer the same as before. He sat there like a bloodthirsty tiger crouching on the ground, ready to pounce at any moment.
In more than a month, Black Tiger had already killed more than a hundred people. Without exception, these people were all refined into blood pills by him, becoming nutrients for his spiritual root.
As the quality of his spiritual root continued to rise, his cultivation progress became faster and faster, his strength also became stronger, and he was one step closer to his goal.
Now, Black Tiger's hunting target was no longer limited to odd-job workers, the disciples of the sect had also become Black Tiger's hunting target.
But recently, the Black Jail Sect had started to pay more attention to the mysterious disappearances. Every night, there would be a large number of sect disciples patrolling the village, making it extremely difficult for Black Tiger to find targets to devour.
But this did not stump Black Tiger.
Since he could not kill people in the village, then he would choose to kill people outside the Black Jail Village.
After all, there would be many odd-job workers going out to chop firewood and fetch water, so Black Tiger still had a lot of opportunities to hunt.
It could be said that even though the Black Jail Sect was guarding the village to the death, Black Tiger's strength did not slow down, but instead became faster and faster.
And Black Tiger hid very well, he was still that lifeless youth in the sect, and was never suspected. Even the disciples of the Black Jail Sect did not think that the person who could kill odd-job workers and sect disciples would be a odd-job worker that they could beat and scold.
In this period of time, Black Tiger realised that he was becoming more and more cold-blooded and heartless.
Just a few days ago, he killed a odd-job worker that had helped him before, that odd-job worker was also one of his few friends in the Black Jail Village.
But Black Tiger still killed him without hesitation, even if he begged, Black Tiger did not let him go.
At this time, Black Tiger suddenly thought of a sentence that the sect disciples had said.
"We are cultivators, we are higher than you. You odd-job workers are animals, your deaths are not to be regretted!"
This sentence sounded crazy to Black Tiger at that time, he did not treat people as humans, yet he could still be so righteous.
But to the current Black Tiger, this sentence was so correct. The strong preyed on the weak was human nature, the so-called kindness could only exist in a peaceful world, but this was the Black Jail Sect, a demonic sect that ate people without spitting out their bones. Only by being more ruthless and cunning would one be able to survive.
Unknowingly, Black Tiger realised that his way of thinking was no different from those Black Jail Sect disciples, he had become the person that he hated the most in the past.
But Black Tiger did not regret, because he only wanted to live without fear.
Everything he had changed was thanks to the Black Jail Sect, so he wanted to become stronger, stronger than the Black Jail Sect disciples by a level on the food chain, and then eat them all up, using the craziest method to repay them, to thank them for letting him understand the principle of the strong preying on the weak.
At this time, Black Tiger had completely turned black, he knew that his actions were extremely cruel, but he did not feel that he had done anything wrong.
As the sky gradually darkened, Black Tiger stopped cultivating.
After standing up, the ruthlessness on his body dissipated, his face regained its wooden and slightly fearful expression, he picked up the bucket of water and started to run back into the village.
On the way back, Black Tiger met a few patrolling sect disciples, but they did not notice that Black Tiger was different, they did not even look at him, they just passed by him.
They would never have thought that the odd-job worker that passed by was the killer that they had been searching for so long.
Another few days passed, Black Tiger's growth continued, even when the elders personally came out to investigate, they did not find any clues.
And under their eyes, Black Tiger continued to accumulate power, waiting for the moment to transform into a fierce beast.
That day, Black Tiger finished his chores as usual, and prepared to leave the village to fetch water.
Along the way, he started to observe the surrounding sect disciples, looking for a target to hunt.
As he neared the inner lake, Black Tiger suddenly noticed a lone sect disciple.
But Black Tiger did not make a move, but ran straight towards the inner lake, at the same time constantly observing the surroundings, in case there was an ambush.
Since he had decided to be a hunter, he had to be vigilant.
The Black Jail Sect was an evil sect, after three years of contact, he knew how cunning these disciples were, if he was not careful, he would fall into their trap.
And now the sect disciples were travelling in groups of three to five, going out alone was already very suspicious, so Black Tiger did not dare to make a move.
The Black Jail Sect disciple seemed to have noticed Black Tiger, after staring at him for a while, he no longer paid attention, and continued to walk forward.
After arriving at the lake, Black Tiger started to fetch water, his eyes continued to observe the surroundings, checking the situation.
Originally, he was prepared to train here, but now was obviously not a good time, there was a sect disciple outside the inner lake, if he stayed here for too long, it might cause suspicion.
So after fetching water, Black Tiger stood up, carrying the wooden bucket and prepared to return.
Seeing the sect disciple again, Black Tiger shrunk his head in fear, and continued to jog forward, at the same time his eyes continued to scan the surroundings, confirming if there was an ambush.
"Hey, stop!" At this moment, the sect disciple suddenly spoke.
Black Tiger did not hesitate to stand where he was, then lowered his head to look at the sect disciple, his expression was one of humility.
"How long have you been in the Black Jail Sect?" The sect disciple approached step by step, and stopped a meter away from him.
"Three … Three years." Black Tiger said uncertainly.
Black Tiger's tone was completely the same as the other servants, as if his numb life had made him forget the passage of time, it could be said that he did not reveal any flaws.
The disciple nodded, then impatiently waved his hand: "Scram."
Hearing this, Black Tiger immediately turned and left.
Seeing this, the sect disciple immediately turned around, and continued to look at the inner lake.
However, at this moment, Black Tiger, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with ferocity, and punched the back of the disciple. After the disciple fell to the ground, Black Tiger pressed down on the back of the disciple's neck, and punched the back of the disciple's head again and again, turning his head into a bloody mess.
After killing the sect disciple, Black Tiger did not hesitate at all, and dragged the sect disciple's corpse to the inner lake, then followed the inner lake to the place where he usually hid and trained.
After Hei Hu left, an old man in a black robe appeared.
He looked at the direction Black Tiger left, and his eyes revealed a smile:
"As expected of a cunning person, he actually investigated for so long before making his move!"
Ever since the disappearances happened frequently, the Black Jail Sect set a rule that the sect disciples should only travel in groups of three to five, unless it was absolutely necessary, they were not allowed to travel alone.
However, the hidden killer was cunning, and did not appear, which gave the investigating elder "Xue Han" a headache.
After a few days of fruitless investigation, Xue Han thought of a way, which was to lure the killer out himself.
For this, he specially used the disciple who had just died as bait, and in a few days, he changed the positions of the servants. He said that he wanted him to investigate the servants alone, but in reality, Xue Han had already used him as bait, a sacrificial pawn, to lure the hidden killer.
The so-called bait was just a discarded object that would be eaten up the moment the beast took the bait. The disciple's death did not make Xue Han's heart waver.
However, what Xue Han did not expect was that the hidden killer was actually a servant, which was really out of his expectations.
…
At this time, in a grass cave by the inner lake, Black Tiger's hands were on the dead sect disciple's chest, and he was using spiritual energy to continuously refine his flesh and blood.
After the investigation ended, and after confirming that there were no hidden sect disciples, Black Tiger did not hesitate to make his move.
In Black Tiger's eyes, the value of the sect disciples was much higher than the servants, so it could be said that he had gained a lot this time.
However, at this time, a black shadow appeared at the side, and then fiercely hit Black Tiger's chest, causing him to fly out and fall solidly into the pile of mud at the end of the grass cave.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I really did not expect you to be a servant, this is really unexpected!" Looking at Black Tiger who had fallen to the ground, Xue Han's face was full of smiles.
As he spoke, Xue Han looked at the blood-red spider web on the dead disciple's chest, and the smile on his face became even wider.
"Devouring flesh and blood to nourish your body? How about we make a deal? "
Black Tiger quickly got up, and stared vigilantly at Elder Xue Han who was standing at the entrance of the grass cave, but his heart sank.
He was very familiar with the path to the inner lake, and before he killed the disciple, he had carefully checked the surrounding places where people could hide, and made sure that there was no ambush before he made his move. However, he did not expect to still be killed, and the person who killed him was actually an elder of the Black Jail Sect.
Although his strength had improved rapidly, he was still no match for the elder. Black Tiger was secretly crying in his heart.
As for the elder's so-called deal, Black Tiger did not believe it at all.
This was because this was not the Exchange Hall, and trading with someone whose strength was not on the same level would only result in being devoured whole.
"Tell me the devouring technique, and tell me how you obtained it, and I will let you go. How about that?" Elder Xue Han continued to tempt him.
"Alright! I'll tell you, let me go! "Black Tiger said cautiously.
"Then come here!" Elder Xue Han still had a smile on his face.
As he approached the elder, Black Tiger's body suddenly exploded, and his five fingers formed into a claw shape as he tried to grab the elder's throat.
However, Elder Xue Han seemed to have already expected Black Tiger to attack, and his expression did not change. He smiled as he lightly slapped forward, and flipped Black Tiger over. Then, he took a step forward, grabbed Black Tiger's hair, and lifted him up from the ground.
"I admire your personality. You are suitable to be a disciple of the Black Prison Sect. How about this, tell me what you want, and I will take you in as a direct disciple of the Black Prison Sect?" Elder Xue Han smiled as he looked at Black Tiger.
"It's a pity that this beast cannot grow up, or else I will definitely devour all of you!" Black Tiger's expression was fierce as he stared at Elder Xue Han.
At this moment, Black Tiger knew that he was no match for Elder Xue Han. If he handed over the technique, he would die, but if he did not, he would still die.
"You are a beast? Hahaha! "Hearing Black Tiger's words, Elder Xue Han could not help but laugh out loud.
Thinking about Black Tiger's previous actions of hunting the servants and disciples, Elder Xue Han felt that Black Tiger was ruthless, ruthless, and dark enough. He was a good seedling, and very suitable to become a disciple of the Black Prison Sect.
Looking at Black Tiger, Elder Xue Han suddenly felt that it was a pity.
It was a pity that Black Tiger had a treasure that he desired. In order to let as few people as possible know about it, it was better to kill him after obtaining it.
"Have you heard of the Black Prison Sect's' Worm Punishment '? I will cut a wound on your head and let the blood worms enter through your scalp. They will gnaw away at your flesh bit by bit until you are only left with a layer of skin. The process is extremely painful, but I will not let you die before you become a layer of skin. "Xue Han smiled as he said those threatening words.
"Sure, I want to try!" Hei Hu laughed maniacally and was not moved at all.
Xue Han's smile froze. Clearly, Black Tiger's reaction was not what he wanted.
"I will give you one last chance. Tell me the technique, or else I will make you wish you were dead!" Xue Han finally lost his patience.
"If I had enough time, you would just be food in my eyes. What a pity!" Black Tiger's eyes were filled with madness.
At this moment, Xue Han could tell that Black Tiger would not tell him the technique. Instantly, his face was filled with anger.
Enraged, Xue Han stretched out his hand and slapped Black Tiger's head.
Blood spurted out, but Black Tiger was still laughing hysterically. His expression was filled with madness. Then, he punched Xue Han's chest.
"Go to hell!" Xue Han increased the strength of his hand. This blow cracked Hei Hu's skull, causing white brain matter to splatter out. Hei Hu's dying punch also landed on Xue Han's chest, causing him to take a few steps back.
Feeling the burning pain in his chest, Xue Han lifted his shirt and a clear fist print could be seen.
Looking at Black Tiger who had fallen to the ground and stopped moving, Xue Han snorted. He was furious. He did not expect Black Tiger to be so stubborn.
However, just as Xue Han bent down to check if the black tiger was dead, a cloud of black mist suddenly floated out of the top of the black tiger's head. It transformed into a pitch-black palm in the air and grabbed Xue Han's neck.
"Crack!"
The sudden attack did not give Xue Han time to react. His neck was instantly broken by the arm formed by the black fog.
"Hahaha, the Evil Demon God has finally returned! Bei Li, the chess game is not over yet. Let's continue! "The Evil Demon God's maniacal laughter came from the black fog.
After millions of years of planning, although he had lost to Bei Li, he had already thought of a way to resurrect himself. Everything was for today's return, so that he could continue fighting the God of Beiqi, Bei Li.
…
At this moment, Lu Wu and Bei Li, who were staring at the screen and eating melon seeds, suddenly stood up and applauded when they saw this scene. Then, they laughed along with the laughter in the black fog.
