The man came to the top of the mountain and knocked lightly on the closed door, but in this silent night, the sound was very obvious.
As soon as he retracted his arm, the door in front of him opened automatically. He walked in without hesitation, and the door behind him automatically closed again at the same time as he entered.
After entering, the entire compound was dark, with only a few scattered candlelights flickering in a few rooms in the distance. He didn't even need to look, and walked forward on the familiar road. He was very familiar with this place, and soon arrived at the extension.
When I came out, I saw a bright room, the door of which had already been opened.
"master!"
After the man entered, he shouted respectfully.
"Come here so late. Did something happen?"
An old man sat on a golden futon, with a face like old tree bark. As his eyes slowly opened, they looked like insects squirming, and he walked carefully.
"In the evening, a few young people came over and said they wanted to visit the master. They came from Yancheng. Their aura looked similar to that of the master. They had not forgotten what the master had arranged. So I excused you, master, and went out. I observed that the other party had already
Leave." The man said with his head still lowered.
"Well done, it seems that the other party is very vigilant. Although the person who arranged the arrangement last time paid it off, it seems that he did not give up the other party's idea. You did a good job this time. I will give you a heavy reward later. Since the other party is vigilant,
It has risen, it is time to leave here and change places." The old man stood up and said.
"Thank you, master! Then where should we go next?" The man was overjoyed.
"I'll take you with me later. Without further ado, you go over there and deal with those people first. This will be your extra reward. I'll take you away after cleaning up. Don't bring any messy things, so as not to have a long night and a lot of dreams. Now
Just go and solve it, the sooner the better." The old man urged the man.
"yes!"
The man nodded heavily and withdrew with a look of surprise on his face. He felt that the master had been too good to him. Even if those people had lost all their foundations and were seriously injured, after being absorbed by him, as long as they practiced a little bit, they would be enough for him to reach the level of
Five stars, and the master promised him to help him at that time and officially become an immortal.
I have been waiting down there for ten years without conscience, just for this day.
After his apprentice left, the old man looked at the other person's back with indifference in his eyes, showing no concern at all. After the other person left, he immediately returned to his room and quickly tidied up, without waiting for his apprentice at all.
, he knew that since the other party came for the second time, he would definitely not leave so easily. When the other party came to his senses, he might not be able to leave even if he wanted to.
But just as his figure appeared in the air, a very strange-looking girl blocked his way. He already knew in his heart that the other party should be the group of people the apprentice saw. When he saw the somewhat innocent look in his eyes,
Eyes, he calmed down and said to the other party.
"You must be the one who wants to visit me. It's not that my apprentice is lying, but I have something urgent to go out tonight and cannot receive you. I'm really sorry."
"Oh, I'm afraid there are some things that you don't want us to know, so just run away overnight." Meng Zhen, who was standing in the air, said sarcastically.
"Fellow Taoist, let me make it clear. No matter what price the other party in Yancheng offers you, I will pay you back double. As long as you let me go, what do you think? There is no need to kill each other if the water in the well does not violate the water in the river."
He could see that this girl was probably new to the world, and she was about the same as him, but her cultivation level was something he couldn't see through. She was obviously much stronger than him, a golden immortal in his early stage, so he could just give in temporarily.
"Haha, I think you should keep this to yourself."
Meng Zhen just had little experience in the ancient world, and he had seen a lot down there. How could he be convinced by the opponent's few words? He had already taken out the scroll in his hand and was ready to fight.
"Come out quickly, or I will die here and you will not be able to bear it." At this time, the old man suddenly pointed at Mengzhen's back and shouted.
No one who has walked in the wild would believe such a poor tactic, but Meng Zhen was suddenly startled. When he looked carefully from behind, even if he didn't see the enemy, he thought he was hiding in the void and started looking for it.
The old man was overjoyed when he saw this, and a cloud of blood mist suddenly emerged from his body, flying rapidly towards the distance. The speed was so fast that he almost disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye, and disappeared from Meng Zhen's perception.
Meng Zhen turned around when he felt the old man's movement. When he realized something was wrong, he no longer stopped him.
"What's going on?"
The next moment, Gu Zheng's figure suddenly appeared next to Meng Zhen. He was startled by the old man's explosive aura and came here instantly.
"There was an enemy who ran away after being tricked by the other party." Meng Zhen was a little discouraged. She didn't expect that she would fall into the opponent's trick so easily.
"I understand, don't worry yet. You go back and bring Yan Yufei over, and I'll go in and deal with some things." Gu Zheng understood what was going on in an instant.
But as long as the person is fine, sometimes suffering is a blessing, at least she will not make the same mistake next time.
"good."
Meng Zhen was naturally able to see through all the obstacles in front of him, and found that the brush was still spinning in a trap at this time. Obviously, he did not know that he had entered someone else's trap, and he could not get out without a specific method.
Just as the old man was packing his things, the man already had infinite longing for the future in his heart. He quickly walked out of the yard, hurriedly ran to the back, and soon came to a seemingly deserted place in the back.
, opened the door directly and walked in.
He didn't have to worry about anyone else, there was no one else above except his master.
This room was twice as big as an ordinary room. It was full of messy items with a lot of dust on them. It looked like a utility room, but he knew it was just a cover.
He walked directly towards the corner inside. Behind the debris, there was a secret door, and there was his target inside.
With the sound of the mechanism turning, a secret door carefully opened on the side wall, and a spiral staircase leading to the underground appeared in front of it.
"hey-hey."
The man let out an uncontrollable laugh, and then walked straight down. Just as the secret door behind him was about to close, a figure flew in directly after him, without the man in front of him noticing at all.
Below this room is a space several times larger than the one above. Apart from some hidden ventilation holes, there are only small rooms.
Under the white beads that are always illuminated, you can see that every room is almost the same. Except for a bed and a matching table, there are no other extra things. There are only human beings with yellow faces.
Lying on their respective beds, the lifeless eyes of each one were no different from those of a dead person. The only sign that the other person was still alive was the slightly rising and falling chest.
Looking around carefully, there are more than forty rooms. Except for one or two that are not full, the others are already occupied.
Most of the people here looked half-dead, but there were a few who were different. Although they looked similarly sluggish and breathless, they still had enough energy to stand up and even gather outside to discuss with others.
There are no doors in the rooms, but they can't go out. They can only move around a little in this space.
"Damn it, who would have thought that the other party is a liar, treating us as a cauldron and extracting our magic power for cultivation."
Everyday they gathered together again, and one of them, who looked quite handsome, couldn't help but curse again.
"Who knows the true face of the other party? It's not that we were deceived. We came here to seek further opportunities, but instead we became a prisoner." His companion sighed at the side.
"Who can spot the other party's deception? Last time, my cousin went home specifically to tell him that he was going to wander. Didn't the elders believe it? This time we heard that the other party was recruiting apprentices again. Didn't we be careful?
From the doorstep, who can you blame?" The third one is a young girl, average-looking, but with a smart energy about her. Even though it has faded a lot at this time, she can still see that the other person is usually a troublesome person.
It's just that his cousin finally couldn't bear it some time ago. He died and was dragged out. He was thrown out of nowhere. I don't know how many people died here, and many of them were their descendants from Yancheng.
"However, I came here specifically to tell my family to bring something to the altar. Why didn't I discover the mystery here? Logically speaking, I shouldn't." The girl said doubtfully.
"That's right, you have the cultivation level of an immortal. If the other party's technique was not suitable for you, you wouldn't be here. Could it be that you even deceived him?" The handsome man was also a little confused.
"Now that I think about it, it is very possible that the other party has been worshiping us for hundreds of years. How could the other party not know each other? Besides, the elders who came here in the past rarely go back. Obviously there is a problem. As long as the other party comes out and goes back to tell you
When we go into seclusion and leave our things behind, our family will not suspect anything when we return home. Moreover, I feel that we will soon become similar to them. We were all acquaintances in the past, and now we are no different from the walking dead." His companion said helplessly beside him.
said.
"Haha, maybe someone is coming." The girl smiled bitterly and was about to say something, then her face straightened and she said immediately.
The three of them ran directly to their respective rooms without saying a word, and soon they were lying on their own beds, just like the others. At the same time, they were very confused. Normally, they would come down in three days. Why was it so bad this time?
morning.
However, they are just catfish on the chopping board. No matter what the opponent does, they cannot resist. After being sealed, their strength is very weak now. They are probably about the same as a normal person. In the future, they will only become weaker and weaker, just like everyone else.
Therefore, I can only criticize many of my thoughts in my heart. If I dare to speak out, I will have to suffer a lot. Many people have already covered this up for them.
Even among those who are lying on the bed seemingly waiting to die, except for some of them who are really numb, others may have been killed by impact, which may save them a little pain when sucking.
"Haha, all of you, gather together for me."
The man walked below, and his originally comfortable face was now filled with a triumphant smile, making his face look even more bizarre.
The others got up from the bed cautiously and subconsciously went out one after another.
Without their cover, small magic circles were exposed, still following them carelessly, as if they were replenishing the magic power in their bodies.
Looking at the many proud men in front of me, I can't even beat any of them in terms of cultivation, but now I have become like a two-legged sheep, providing them with a little bit of pure magic power, and now I control their life and death.
I feel even more satisfied in my heart.
"Come here!"
The man took one look and pointed directly at the person in front of him. After hearing this, the latter immediately walked over with an unsteady body.
"Not bad, but the recovery is too little."
The man patted his face like he was picking an animal and said with satisfaction, but the latter didn't react at all because he had already collapsed and had no thoughts of his own.
The man didn't want to waste time. The next moment he grabbed the opponent's arm with one hand and started to perform the exercises. The latter immediately trembled, rolled his eyes, and seemed to have fainted. His body was shaking constantly, and he was a little skinny.
The body collapsed visibly to the naked eye.
In less than a dozen breaths, the other person was left with nothing but skin and bones, as if he was starving to death. Only then did the man let go of his hand, and the latter's body fell straight to the ground, making no sound.
He frowned, a little dissatisfied. The mana contained in the opponent's body was too little, and he also knew that the recovery time of a few days was not enough for them to recover.
"Dead!"
The death of that person made most of the remaining people take two steps back. Even those who were pretending did not stop pretending, and their eyes showed awe-inspiring looks. But they knew that the other party would not kill them easily under normal circumstances.
"Hey, you don't have to be afraid. You will accompany him in a while." The man followed carefully, with a crazy look in his eyes, ready to speed up and devour all these people.
"Why would the other party do this?" The girl at the back was very surprised and said with some apprehension.
"It's the same sooner or later, but something happened outside. This time it's just the other party's apprentice who comes, and we fight with the other party." The handsome man obviously had a flexible mind, and he immediately guessed the truth and made the right decision.
"Relax, we're on top." His companion said from the side.
There are a few companions in front who have lost themselves and are standing there. What he means is that when the other party is absorbing their strength, they will be on top. Only in this way can they have a chance of winning.
The other two people nodded. Among this group of people, they were the only ones who had a little bit of resistance. Although there was little hope, they would not surrender.
But their calculations were good, and the man behind them naturally knew their situation, so he left the others behind and walked straight towards the back.
"How can you not know what you are thinking and want to kill me? Let's start with you first." The man said viciously as he walked away.
"Damn it, fight him."
As soon as the girl saw it, she knew that their idea was in vain. After taking a look at the left and right, and her companions, the three of them immediately attacked. There was a plan in their actions. It was obvious that they had practiced it before and wanted to take down the opponent with the combined attack technique.
.
"Bang bang bang bang"
It's a pity that they thought well, but with just one contact, the three of them flew out directly. No matter how low the man's cultivation level was, the three of them would not be able to fight each other. If he didn't need the mana in the other person's body, at this time
They are all dead.
"Two young men, and this beautiful young lady, let me see you off today."
Recalling that when his master took him, he could only nod and bow down to face these people. Now that the other person's life and death were within a year, the excitement in his heart was even more uncontrollable. God knew what he had paid for his position.
How much, even when no one is around, you still have to pay attention.
Now that he could be unscrupulous, he could finally reveal his true self without restraint, and he felt extremely happy.
He did not grab the pretty girl in front of him first, but directly grabbed the handsome man next to him. Among the three people, he was the most powerful and posed a great threat to him. He would not give him a chance to kill the danger.
In the cradle is the clear decision.
"Well"
He grabbed the neck of the handsome man who was trying his best to dodge, lifted him up, looked at his flushed cheeks, and prepared to launch his own technique.
But a cold light suddenly flashed through him, and his arm that he had carefully cut off was cut off, and the man in front of him also fell to the ground.
"Ahhhhh"
The man watched the blood spurt out, and then a huge pain came up, causing him to scream immediately. His whole body fell backwards and sat down on the ground. His other remaining hand quickly moved on his body.
After groping for it, he swallowed a milky white pill, his arm was covered with a layer of white light, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, there was already a pool of blood on the ground. After losing too much blood, he raised his head to see who was ruining his good deeds. However, he saw clearly who was coming and followed carefully.
"Why is it you!"
The person who came was none other than Gu Zheng. He followed him cautiously. His indifference and lack of expression even made his whole body tremble. There was a pen in the air on the side, and he was directing the group of unknown people.
The bewildered people gathered together.
"Why isn't it me? People really can't be judged by their appearance. I never expected that you would actually use this kind of technique here." Gu Zheng looked at the man in front of him and said coldly.
This technique can be said to be the most vicious, with many variations, but the most basic one is captivity. Whether it is a human or a demon, a special magic power is forcibly injected into the opponent's body, allowing the opponent to increase the absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and at the same time make the opponent
Carefully made it very mild without any attributes, ensuring that anyone who knows how to extract it will absorb it.
This kind of refined magic power can be used to do anything. Of course, there is only one possibility for converting it with low strength. Someone is brewing a treasure and needs the continuous nourishment of this kind of spiritual energy to strengthen the opponent's future power.
However, this method is also very cruel. The human beings who are treated as converted have their own internal bodies destroyed to such a degree that they cannot last long before they die completely.
The atmosphere here is so gloomy that I don’t know how many people the other party has persecuted over the past thousand years with its hypocritical face. Even in ancient times, I can’t help but be angry.
"Senior, please forgive me, this is what the master asked me to do."
Before he could finish his words, a spark fell directly on his body, burning his whole body to ashes and destroying his soul.
Judging from the other party's methods, this is not the first time.
"Master Gu, they are all gathered together, what should we do next?" Mobi flew over from the side at this time. Feeling the anger in Gu Zheng's heart, he said in a low voice without even daring to breathe.
"Let's take everyone up there first."
Gu Zheng looked at the group of people over there and gave instructions directly.
