Chapter 1048
In the dim light, one could see a large number of immortals, both men and women, all of whom were naked and were being held by bronze chains. Some of them were unconscious, some of them slowly opened their eyes as they stared in horror at the huge cauldron placed in the middle of the hall.
The cauldron was completely black, and the surface was imprinted with a sinister demonic face. Underneath the cauldron were broken limbs, and these limbs were like supports, supporting the gigantic and bloated cauldron, the top of the cauldron was emitting a pungent black smoke, the interior of the cauldron was flickering with a green light, and it was unknown what was being refined, but if one were to listen carefully, one would hear waves of screams coming from within.
The men that were being hung stared at the cauldron in terror, their bodies all trembling crazily.
"Heh heh, what a pity. Look at them, what do they look like?"
The two immortals who were standing at the entrance of the hall leaned against the wall and looked at the people who were being hung up.
"Do you think they look like pigs? A boar and sow? Ah? Do you like it? "Hahahaha!"
"Yes! Similar! "Hahahaha!"
The laughter of the two shook the entire hall. However, none of the people who were hung up felt angry. They were immediately surrounded by fear, and no other emotions could be felt.
A crunching sound was heard as the door was slowly pushed open.
The two people who were still laughing frantically immediately stopped their laughter and greeted the person that came over.
The person who came was an old man dressed in a black robe. He carried a long Dao sword on his back and held a horsetail whisk in his hand. His sunken eyes casually glanced at the two disciples at the entrance and without making a sound, he walked straight in.
"Wu!"
As soon as the old man entered the hall, whimpering sounds immediately came from within. It sounded like he was crying, but also like he was struggling. Fear and despair filled the entire hall.
The old man held the horsetail whisk and walked around below them. His eyes carefully examined every single person"s body. In the end, his gaze wandered between a man and a woman …
"Open the cauldron."
The old man turned around and said.
The people shook their bodies frantically, as if they wanted to break free from the chains that were binding their wrists. However, no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to escape. These existences that were previously called immortals were now like fish placed on a chopping board, waiting to be butchered.
"Yes, Master!"
The two disciples quickly cupped their fists together and walked up to the cauldron. Each of them formed a hand seal and the heavy lid of the cauldron immediately floated up into the air.
The people who were being hung looked inside the cauldron, and a horrifying scene appeared in their line of sight, they could only see that inside the cauldron, there were corpses that had been roasted to the point of almost being human, they were all dead, but their souls were still struggling on the corpses, for some reason, their souls seemed to have been grabbed by the corpses, no matter what they did, they could not escape, and could only endure the corrosive heat of the Evil Flame, it was extremely painful, and the scene was extremely tragic.
The old man looked at the terrified faces of the hanging men, his stern old face actually revealing a trace of a strange smile. He walked to the man and woman that he had seen previously, and started walking around them, touching a strand of his beard: "Second grade Spirit Immortal, very good quality, strong soul, it"s a good tool to refine pills, add these two in."
"Yes, Master."
The two disciples nodded, walked to the side, and pulled the iron chains on the wall.
In that moment, the two immortals who were hung by the iron chains were pulled towards the cauldron.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Even though they did not have much strength left, they did not know where they had found the strength to struggle in this final moment. However, they were currently only left with the strength to struggle.
"Hehe, since you"ve been captured by the old Taoist, you guys should obediently be his meat refining materials. When this divine pill is completed and consumed by the old Taoist, it would be your honor, wouldn"t it?" "Hehehehehe …"
The old man smiled as he spoke. The more those people struggled, the more they feared, the more terrified they became. The smile on the old man"s face grew even wider.
The iron chains slowly dragged the man and woman towards the mouth of the cauldron. The old men ignored their cries and screams, and looked at them.
Bada.
The iron chains around their wrists suddenly snapped. The two of them were like kites with their strings cut as they flew towards the mouth of the cauldron.
The moment the two of them landed, the thick cauldron lid immediately covered up the furnace. The flames below the cauldron suddenly became several times larger as terrifying flames crazily roasted the furnace.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "Ahhh!"
Miserable screams rang out from within the cauldron. The cauldron shook slightly, and one could tell how fiercely the people inside struggled.
However, the old man had a relaxed expression as he quietly looked at the struggling cauldron. In just a few breaths, the cauldron had already calmed down.
Everything was quiet again, except for those who were being hung, who were still sobbing and crying.
This place is like a purgatory
The old man nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and said to the two disciples, "Take a good look at this cauldron. Don"t let the fire extinguish."
"Yes, Master." The two of them said respectfully.
"Yes."
The old man nodded and walked outside …
Whoos.h.!.+
A gale blew past, and a large number of figures flew forward at lightning speed towards the dark blue thick clouds that looked like the ocean.
The thick clouds were so vast that they filled the entire sky. Not only were the clouds dense, but even the immortal energy couldn"t penetrate through them. If a person were to enter, they would probably lose their way. It was like a thick wall, blocking the path in front of the crowd. However, what was astonis.h.i.+ng was that at the bottom of the thick layer of clouds, there was actually a huge opening. This opening was extremely magical; it was like a door leading directly to the other end of the layer of clouds, and that was the Dome of the Heavens.
"Disperse, hide."
Wei Ming called out, and took the lead to rush to the right side of the Gate of the Sky, where he used an immortal technique, causing his body to disappear. The other followers, seeing this, immediately followed suit, and before any of them even reached the Gate of the Sky, they had already disappeared without a trace.
Although they were invisible, they were actually hiding to the side, borrowing the power of immortal artifacts to hide themselves.
"Use your immortal equipment. Do not let anyone else discover our existence. Hide themselves well here, do you understand?"
Wei Ming said.
"Elder, there is no one here. Do we have to be wary of anyone?" A disciple of the Great Linglong Palace asked curiously.
"Who says there"s no one?" Wei Ming snorted and said, "It"s just that you guys didn"t see it! If we are not mistaken, they were most likely captured by the people from the Eight Level Doors. If there are no one hiding here, then it is on the other side of the Eight Level Doors. In short, there are a lot of tricks here, so we will keep an eye on them. "
"What if someone appears?" The disciple asked again.
When Wei Ming heard this, his face immediately darkened: "As long as it"s a member of the Eight Harmonies Sect, kill them all. There"s no need to show any mercy!"
"Yes."
Everyone shouted.
The group of people were stationed at the front of the vault. Looking from afar, there was no one there.
I don"t know how long I waited …
"I believe that the Lord should be arriving soon. Yuan Zhu, go ahead and take a look."
At this moment, Wei Ming spoke again.
A female disciple flew out and rushed to the front.
However, she had only flown out for a short while before returning.
"Elder, someone is coming."
The disciple called Yuan Zhu said.
"But the lord has come?" Wei Ming asked.
"Lord?" The disciple called Yuan Zhu asked in doubt, "Who is the elder referring to?"
Hearing that, Wei Ming was startled for a moment. Only then did he realize that he did not divulge Su Yun"s matter to the disciples below, even to Xing Bai Qin, the Hidden Dragon. To the disciples, they only called a few sects an alliance, nothing more.
He coughed and said: "You should know that our Great Linglong Palace has allied with Hidden Dragon Palace and Immortal Seeking Sect, right?"
"This disciple knows."
Everyone nodded.
"Then, this lord is the Alliance Leader of this alliance."
"Alliance Alliance Leader? May I ask if it"s Sect Leader Qin Hidden Dragon or Sect Leader Xing Bai? " The bead asked again.
"Neither." A trace of fear flashed across Wei Ming"s eyes, and he said in a low voice: "It"s the Protector that killed Sunflower, the one from the Immortal Seeking Sect. His strength is actually far above ours!"
"Huh?" Everyone was startled.
As for the matters concerning the adults, there"s no need for you all to talk about it. In short, it"s better to follow this lord than to follow Sunflower. Wei Ming said again. Actually, when he said this, he felt that he said too much, so he quickly added on. He wanted to take these disciples as his trusted aides, and all he wanted to do was to see if these disciples were wise enough. In fact, Wei Ming knew about these disciples, although these were all elite disciples, but in the past, Sunflower did not care about them at all, as they were a.s.signed many difficult tasks in the Great Exquisite Palace, but the things they obtained were just the standard rewards, although Sunflower did not ask about these elite disciples, but these elite disciples still had some concerns, as they were all like this, if others did not care about them, they would not care too much about them either.
"Disciple understands."
The bead nodded.
"So, what about the clothes of the people you know?"
"The clothes are different, the attire is different."
"That"s most likely not one of us. Pay attention."
Wei Ming shouted.
Everyone nodded their heads and immediately went into hiding.
Very quickly, a few figures appeared in the distance. One look and all of them were rogue cultivator …
