"Cough! Cough!"
Su Boyang coughed out blood as his face turned as white as wax paper.
In the hundreds of thousands of years since he became a Pillheart Sect Elder, he had been fawned upon by the other large factions. People were afraid that they would not treat him well. Numerous experts from the Heavenly South Great World, including figures like King Yi, would often prepare lavish gifts for him, hoping that he would refine pills for them.
Su Boyang originally believed that he would spend the rest of his life in such a halo, enjoying the riches of the martial world. His life would be like a moon surrounded by stars.
He had never thought that there would be a day when he and his martial nephew would be hung on the wall like this.
It was an utter humiliation!
"Martial Uncle, will … someone from the sect … save us …"
Su Muyan's lungs had been pierced. Every word he said caused his chest to leak air. It was obvious how much pain he was in.
Now, his only hope was for the Pillheart Sect's experts to save them. The Pillheart Sect had many experts and they were their only hope.
Before Su Muyan could finish his sentence, his voice came to a halt. He suddenly saw Yi Yun holding a blue sword in the dark night. He was standing amidst a pile of corpses. The blood on the sword was dripping down drop by drop.
Only then did Su Muyan realize that other than himself, all the other Pillheart Sect juniors had been killed!
Su Muyan nearly suffocated. He had been in a semi-conscious state, so he did not notice what Yi Yun had done. The corpses that littered the ground were a shocking sight.
"You … you killed seven genius disciples of my Pillheart Sect in one fell swoop …"
The Pillheart Sect had reigned supreme in the Heavenly South Great World for too long. For ten thousand years, Pillheart Sect disciples were treated with utmost respect no matter where they went. But today, Yi Yun and the old man had killed the Pillheart Sect disciples like they were slaughtering chickens. They had no qualms at all. This made Su Muyan feel a deep sense of horror. He could see his own outcome in the bodies of the dead Pillheart Sect disciples.
"All I did was kill seven idiots who thought highly of themselves. Do you think taking your lives is a big deal to me?" Yi Yun sneered. With a gentle shake of his sword, an icy-blue frost Qi emitted out. The blood on the sword instantly froze into red ice crystals, shattering and scattering. Not a single drop was left on the sword.
Old Snake had completely subdued the middle-aged man and the ghost-controlling beauty. He clapped his hands and said languidly, "What do you plan on doing with these people? Kill them all?"
Old Snake said those words very naturally, but the killing intent contained in his words left one shuddering.
"You can try. The Pillheart Sect will not spare you … Don't think that just because the Pillheart Sect wants to kill you, it doesn't matter. Many a time, death is not the most terrifying outcome."
The beautiful woman stared viciously at Yi Yun and threatened him. Her voice was cold, as though it came from the depths of the nine nether abyss. It contained an aura that made one's hair stand on end.
"Oh?" Yi Yun laughed, "Tell me, what's more terrifying than death?"
"Humph! If you kill us, the Pillheart Sect will make you pay a terrible price. Alchemists can refine many kinds of pills that will make you wish you were dead! You will be tortured by the Pillheart Sect for hundreds of thousands of years. When the time comes, you will know that death is an extremely blissful thing for you! "
The woman continued speaking. Yi Yun knew that her words contained a sinister aura. Although she had been subdued by Old Snake, she was still able to inject such an aura into her voice to attack his soul. It made it easy for him to feel fear and think of retreating.
"Torture me for hundreds of thousands of years? I'm rather curious about such means, "said Yi Yun as he stroked his chin.
Yi Yun said as he stroked his chin. The woman's eyes flashed coldly. "You can think I'm joking. The Pillheart Sect obviously knows that we are targeting you today. If we perish in this valley, you will not be able to escape responsibility. You can try and see if you can challenge the entire Pillheart Sect! You will suffer the most terrifying and tragic torture! "
The woman continued threatening him. Her words were not false. As long as one was not a lunatic, they would shudder when faced with the vengeance of a behemoth like the Pillheart Sect.
"I'm truly a little afraid of your threats," said Yi Yun nonchalantly. As Yi Yun said lightly, he wiped his interspatial ring gently with one hand, and a green jar appeared out of thin air.
The jar was originally a mighty figure's urn. Cang Wu had obtained it in an ancient mystic realm. After Cang Wu was killed by Yi Yun, the jar landed in Yi Yun's hands.
Yi Yun patted the top of the jar.
Hum —
With a light hum, green smoke flew out of the jar. The smoke constantly swirled and manifested a hideous face. It bared its fangs and claws like a fiendish demon.
This fiendish demon was Poison Demon born from the urn's ashes. It had been utterly defeated by Ling Xie'er and had no choice but to sign a contract with Yi Yun, completely submitting to him.
Over the past year, Yi Yun had not paid much attention to Poison Demon. He had nearly forgotten about him, but he never expected that Poison Demon would suddenly emit an intense soul fluctuation while facing the beautiful woman.
"You want to devour her?"
With the existence of the contract, Yi Yun could sense Poison Demon's thoughts.
Poison Demon nodded desperately. "Yes, Master. This venomous woman cultivates in the Ghost Dao. Furthermore, her body has fused with the Eon Ghost Monarch. I have a feeling that if I devour her, my strength will experience a tremendous leap. Furthermore, I can search her soul and report any valuable information to Master. After searching her soul, I can also torture this venomous woman for hundreds of thousands of years, making her live a life worse than death. When the time comes, she will know how blissful death is."
Poison Demon chuckled and revealed a fawning smile. However, it had a hideous look to begin with, so the smile still left people panic-stricken.
Of course, this smile sent chills down the spines of the beautiful woman!
She never expected that the words she had used to threaten Yi Yun would be used by Poison Demon to threaten her!
Furthermore, she knew very well that Poison Demon was no joke.
Just by looking at the urn, the beautiful woman knew that this Poison Demon had an extraordinary background. She didn't know how long it had been nurtured in the urn, perhaps even longer than her Hundred Million Year Ghost King.
How could this be … The old man in tattered clothes had just said that he had lived for more than a hundred million years. That even exceeded the Pillheart Sect's history. As for this green smoke demon that Yi Yun had produced out of nowhere, it was actually such an ancient existence?
If her soul was truly devoured by Poison Demon, then her soul would be tortured for hundreds of thousands of years. It would be an unimaginable pain. Unknowingly, the woman's face turned pale.
"Wait … Wait!"
She was completely afraid. She had only intended to frighten Yi Yun but she never expected that Yi Yun had the ability to use the same method to deal with her.
However, Yi Yun completely ignored her. He only looked at Old Snake. "Senior, what do you think of this Ghost Monarch …"
"I'm not interested. Do whatever you want." Old Snake thought nothing of these people.
Yi Yun nodded and casually waved his hand at the Ghost Monarch. "Since you think that devouring the Eon Ghost Monarch will allow you to evolve, go ahead …"
"Thank you, Master!"
The Green Smoke Poison Devil let out an excited roar, its body immediately turned into a thick green smoke, like a roiling smoke signal, it rushed towards the beautiful lady.
"Ah —! No! Wait! "
The woman let out a despairing and horrified roar. As a ghost cultivator, she was more afraid of having her soul devoured than other warriors because she knew the consequences better than anyone else.
However, her wails were useless. Her entire body was enveloped by the green smoke and in moments, her body had lost all signs of life. Her soul had been pulled out. Of course, what Poison Demon coveted the most was the Ghost Monarch that had fused with her soul.
"Do a good soul search. Report any valuable information to me. As for this old woman's soul, do whatever you want with it."
Yi Yun showed no mercy to the woman. Ghost Dao warriors were mostly not good people. In order to cultivate in the Ghost Dao, they had killed countless people and captured countless souls to refine. Most of these souls were tortured to death before their souls dissipated.
"Yes! Master. "
Poison Demon was extremely excited. But when his voice landed in Su Muyan and Su Boyang's ears, they felt their insides shatter.
Back when they heard the woman threaten Yi Yun, they were delighted. They thought of the immense threat the Pillheart Sect posed to Yi Yun, leaving him shuddering in fear.
But in a blink of an eye, everything had reversed. They were the ones who shuddered in fear.
