"I know. None of us knew about this except for the two of us. Moreover, I suspect that some of our people have already sided with the other party. So, we need to find the people we really need," the bird said as it combed its feathers.
"Yes, this is a great opportunity. After this matter, the old ancestor will go into seclusion. If there's nothing big, he won't come out for a long time. We have to think about it carefully." Elder Xiong's eyes revealed a trace of joy.
Anyone who saw a ray of light in despair would grasp it tightly.
The two of them would discuss their ideas in detail every other day. In the end, they came up with a rough plan. At this time, they discussed it repeatedly and found that it had the highest success rate.
"Don't worry, I have a chance to be reborn. Maybe you'll see me again when the time comes." Looking at Elder Xiong's sad face, the bird comforted her.
Many days later, under their notice, Elder Xiong and the Divine Bird gathered everyone on a relatively tall mountain slope. The two of them were the strongest, so everyone came to see what was going on.
"Everyone, quiet down and listen to me." The divine bird flew around in the air, making everyone below quiet down.
At this time, there were already thousands of people below. They formed a dense circle with the mountain as the center. The closer they were, the stronger their cultivation was.
"Boss, if you have something to say, say it quickly. Is there anything worse than being trapped here?" A young-looking person below said.
After the divine bird flew a circle above, invisible fire dust fell on many people. When it saw that everyone had basically arrived, it continued to fly back.
"Don't interrupt, Fu Yun." The divine bird finally landed on top. After exchanging a glance with Elder Xiong, it nodded and said loudly,
"I have news. Everyone knows that a teleportation array has been built in the south. Some Shura people have already come in."
"Of course I know. If it wasn't for the Ancestor setting up a barrier there, we would have already rushed over. Who would still stay here?" A silly voice sounded. It was a brawny man with two horns on his head.
"That's not the point. The point is, why did they build a teleportation array? Does the old ancestor need it to go in and out?" The divine bird floated in the air, making sure that everyone could hear its voice.
Only then did he slowly tell everyone what he had heard.
The Patriarch had already decided to give up on this place and was preparing to transform it into a training ground for the Asura Clan. When the time came, those who were unwilling to surrender would either die or be forcibly converted. This was the main point of the Divine Bird's words.
Elder Xiong quickly observed everyone's reactions from the side and selected some of the core members.
Many people were angry at the beginning, confused in the middle, and fanatical in the end.
There were only a few elites left here. Those arrogant and unruly people had already fully integrated into this world.
At this time, this world was still filled with spiritual energy, unlike the later transformation into a hazy pink sky where some ordinary people had not all died.
In this place, they would more or less be able to cultivate the immortal techniques that they had dreamed of. However, they would not have the chance to go out again.
After waiting for the divine bird to finish speaking, some people could not hold back their excitement and said gratefully and anxiously,
"Really? Does that mean we have a chance to escape? "
"Could it be a trap? I think it's better to stay here. At least our lives are guaranteed."
"It's too dangerous to rush over. They might be the only ones who can rush out of the Blood Sea. We're just cannon fodder."
The whole scene was chaotic as everyone expressed their opinions. Some were looking forward to a life of escape, while others suspected that this was a trap.
There were even some who thought maliciously that the Asura Clan only told them because they needed some cannon fodder. They were weak and could not escape.
"Regardless of whether you believe it or not, we have already come up with a feasible plan. If you really want to join, please gather here in a month."
At this time, Elder Xiong stood up and shouted to everyone.
"If you don't have such thoughts and are willing to work for the Asura Clan, we will also support you. We will not force anyone."
Elder Xiong's words were very clear. Everyone could choose whatever they wanted. No one would force anyone.
"I'll say my thoughts now. I'm willing to follow Lord. I'd rather die than stay here after purchasing this damn place."
As soon as Elder Xiong finished speaking, a coarse voice spoke up to express his opinion.
"This poor Taoist is also willing." A Taoist dressed like a Taoist also stood up.
"Since Lord has a plan, how can I not be part of it?" A monk shining with golden light also said. One look and one could tell that he was a believer of the Western Sect. No one was close to him. He was very disliked.
Many people in the front row expressed their opinions on the spot. Some people's eyes flickered as they thought about something.
After Elder Xiong and the divine bird finished speaking, they waited for a while. Ignoring everyone's gathering, they disappeared in front of everyone in a flash.
"Bird, do you think it's okay for those people to snitch?" Elder Xiong was against announcing it to the public. With so many people, there would definitely be people who wanted to snitch to gain credit.
"It's okay. No one discovered him. Think about it. With the Patriarch's arrogance, he won't consider our opinions. We just need to escape successfully. " Bird knew what Elder Xiong was worried about. However, he knew more inside information than others thought.
"But why do you want to escape with death?" This was something that Elder Xiong did not understand.
"Look at what this is." Bird took out a small bottle from his hand. There was some clear green liquid inside that gave off a refreshing smell.
"This is not a healing medicine. Is there something special about it?" Elder Xiong took it and looked at it. It contained a strong life energy.
Elder Xiong even poured some out and put it in his mouth. It tasted really good.
"This is the thing that they are going to use to control us. Now, they are fully prepared. You will see it soon." Bird looked at the sky in a daze.
"Don't you feel that the sky has changed?" Bird did not ask Elder Xiong's actions and avoided the previous question.
That green thing was useless to them. He pointed at the sky and said, "Why do I have to gather a month later to make a decision? It is because I don't want them to see what powerlessness is. Some of them are still naive."
"Is that so? Anyway, I can't see anything. The sky is darker than before." Elder Xiong looked carefully and found that the once bright sky was now shrouded in fog. It was very light and could not be seen if one did not look at it with confidence.
"There is a Shura. His position is not low. In the past, he was very stupid. I saved him once. Now, he is in charge of all the operations. He told me all this secretly."
Bird looked at Elder Xiong and said, "Don't think about it. He does not have the right. He would not dare to secretly let me go, even if it was an insignificant person."
"This is a big deal in the Shura Clan. I'm satisfied that he told me everything. He also promised me that he would send two of his people to guard this place for a long time. If I need anything, I can take this to them. They will do their best to help this person, but only once."
Bird handed over a necklace that looked like a water droplet and asked Elder Xiong to take it.
"When things settle down, you can give it to whoever needs it. I hope it will be useful."
"I just hope it is not as bad as you think." Elder Xiong put away the necklace and looked at Bird's gloomy face and comforted him.
That cultivator, Bird, not only saved his life, but it was also very important. Otherwise, he would not dare to take the risk and tell them the whole story.
"I hope so." Bird muttered to himself, but his eyes were full of sadness. He was worried and confused about the future. In fact, he did not know what the future would be like. He could only try his best to arrange it.
Just for that slim chance of survival.
When Elder Xiong and the others talked there, no one left. They all discussed in the surroundings. Every day, there would be fights because of disagreements.
In general, there were two opinions. One was the surrender party. They said that the ancestor was so strong that no one could fight against him. If they dared to resist, they would die faster. It was better to surrender and live.
It was better to live than to die. If there was a better chance in the future, it would be better than taking the risk.
To be honest, the ancestor's strength scared them. They had already accepted their fate.
There was another opinion. Of course, they wanted to escape this place. Most of them were here, but there were also differences.
One was the opinion of Elder Xiong and the divine bird. They were the strongest. The problems they considered and the future they saw were much better than them.
No matter what the arrangement was, they definitely had a deep meaning. What they could do was to follow their arrangements. At least the success rate would be higher.
The other was that since the ancestor had temporarily given up on this place, then everyone could find a chance to break out. With so many people, the ancestor would definitely not be able to stop them.
There were some strong Asuras leading each opinion. However, most of them supported Elder Xiong and the others. Most of them knew that it would not be so easy to escape.
There were so many people and probably only 10% of them had a chance. If there were other opinions, one would lose their freedom completely.
The other was to gamble with their lives. If there were too few people, maybe none of them would be able to get out.
However, everyone had their own ambitions and had different ideas.
There were also some people who did not know what to think. They fanned the flames and made everyone nervous. They did not know what their fates were going to be.
Just like that, seven days passed in a row. Everyone was still debating. At this time, everyone's thoughts had already been fixed in their debates.
The more they realized that they were right, the more they felt that others were wrong and wanted to correct others.
Suddenly, the sky darkened as if someone had covered it with a piece of cloth. The entire world was pitch-black. This situation lasted for three days.
Amidst everyone's panic, the sky regained its light. However, what made everyone even more uneasy was that a huge eye appeared in the sky.
Now, pink mist was spewing out from the eye. The mist was dyeing the color of the sky. The color of the sky was obviously different from before. In the past, there was no difference between this place and the outside except for the lack of stars.
There were tall trees, hillsides, plains, small streams, and large lakes. There were some fish inside. Everything was modeled after the outside world.
However, the sudden appearance of the eye broke all of this. It made everyone wonder if everything would change in the future.
On the second day, an Asura Grand Heavenly flew over from afar. He did not hide at all and released his aura without any hesitation.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Elder Xiong stopped him at the periphery of the crowd. This place had always been the center of their activities. The scenery around here was the best.
"You must be that white bear." The Asura looked at Elder Xiong indifferently and said with disdain.
Although they were both peak Grand Heavenly Realm, it was obvious that he was inferior. However, no matter how strong he was, he was still defeated by the Old Ancestor. He could only be imprisoned here.
"May I ask what is the matter?" Elder Xiong suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Nothing. I just have something to announce. However, I'm too lazy to read it out loud. I'll let you see it for yourselves."
As he spoke, the Asura took out a scroll from his hand. There was a faint glow on it. He extended his hand.
"However, I won't give it to you." When Elder Xiong was about to take it, the Asura quickly retracted his hand and deliberately said this to provoke the other party.
Elder Xiong was about to explode. He knew that the other party was deliberately embarrassing him. He tried his best to maintain the expression on his face.
"Hehe." Although he looked at the other party's expressionless face, he had already achieved his goal. He laughed out loud. This feeling was indeed not bad. He was looking forward to the future more and more.
Then, he threw the scroll in his hand into the sky. The scroll turned into a bright light and rushed into the sky. Then, it bloomed with an even brighter light, attracting the attention of everyone nearby.
After doing this, the Asura walked away with a chuckle. He turned into a shooting star and disappeared into the distance.
Elder Xiong stared at him until his figure completely disappeared in front of his eyes. Then, he turned his head to look at the scroll in the sky.
The scroll slowly began to unfold, and a long scroll leaked out bit by bit.
There was a restriction around it that blocked Elder Xiong's gaze from prying.
Under all the anticipation, the scroll only fully unfolded after half a day. It took a large area in the sky and was very eye-catching.
At this time, the sky also darkened. This was imitating the environment of the outside world.
One by one, the more eye-catching words kept shining in the sky. Under the background of the environment, everyone could see it clearly.
However, the words on the scroll were the language of the Asura Race. It was very rare.
No one recognized it. For a moment, everyone was stunned. They asked each other what the scroll said.
"Use your divine sense to read it. Naturally, you will know what it says." Elder Xiong's voice resounded through the sky, guiding those who did not know how to read it.
As for those with stronger cultivations, they already knew. However, they were stunned by the bloodier words inside.
The more powerful one was, the more they could feel the threat inside.
It was as if there was a sea of blood in front of them. Countless lonely souls and wild ghosts were struggling to come out and pull them down.
Countless people were shocked by this illusion. They did not expect that there would be a vicious spell inside.
However, what shocked everyone even more was that the contents inside were similar to what the divine bird said.
Everyone only had two paths. Either they surrendered and become a puppet, or they had to bear the consequences. It also specifically mentioned that they had a way to force people to become puppets without consciousness to scare them.
It was a blatant threat. Everyone knew that there were only a few consequences.
They would either kill you, forcefully turn you into a puppet, or refine you into something else.
Everyone could feel the aura of the ancestor. There were many things written in this final notice, but most of them were threats. The most important thing was that everyone had to make a decision within a month.
When the time came, someone would be sent to guide them.
Later on, the old ancestor would personally come again, deal with those stubborn people, let them know the consequences.
Many people's persistence collapsed in a single notice, and they changed their minds.
This scroll did not spontaneously combust and disappear into the sky until half a month later.
At this time, everyone had already heard the news. Worse things had happened.
The sky now looked blurry. Moreover, the day and night had completely disappeared. There was only day and no night.
The surrounding river began to turn turbid. Many of the creatures in the river had died. Many fish with their bellies exposed on the river surface.
The green leaves on the trees began to fall. The grass began to turn yellow. Even the air felt a little clogged. It was not as fresh as before.
Some people with lower cultivations even began to cough. They seemed to have been infected. Although these people were mortals from Old Dai's place, they had only cultivated here.
Under the rules here, although they had cultivated for a long time, the highest cultivation was only level three. However, they had already been reborn and were well-known experts in the outside world.
As time passed, the situation became more and more serious.
Those who had the initial symptoms began to fall ill. They started to talk nonsense. The more serious ones had already fallen unconscious.
However, no one could find the reason. Everyone asked Old Xiong, but Old Xiong only shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
It was not until the fifteenth day after the scroll disappeared, less than ten days before the other party arrived, that someone realized that something was wrong with the sky.
"The spiritual energy here has been polluted. Everyone, don't absorb it so easily." A Heaven Immortal discovered the abnormality.
Those with higher cultivations would take a long time to replenish the spiritual energy in their bodies if there was nothing serious. Therefore, they did not discover the problem. This was also the reason why many big shots could not analyze it.
Therefore, they only discovered it now. Those with lower cultivations could not discover the trick.
