As the years went by slowly, we will return a few years back in time. After Ling Xi"s father left the Ling clan, he returned to the hiding place of the traitors who were discovered but managed to escape alive. Those who were discovered and those who are still hidden within the clans could communicate with a special method of the Remnants. In every world, there were several hiding places for the members of that world.The Second World traitors" hiding place was in an extremely dangerous poisonous swamp, this place was one of the most dangerous places in the Nine Worlds, this swamp was called the Poison Swamp.
The Poison Swamp was a very strange place, its size was tens of thousands of miles long, although it looked like a forest of harmless green trees on the outside, the place was like a poisonous h.e.l.l, after a kilometer inside from the forest, began the marsh areas. Like places full of rotten and poisoned mud.
Anything inside had poison. Be it land, trees, gra.s.s, animals, water, anything in it contained poison and depending on the thing and the place, the poison had different potencies.
In the center of the swamp was a dark cave that had a maze full of dangers inside, at the end of the labyrinth was a large old palace made of gray stones. A terrifying aura could be felt.
Inside the main hall of the castle, a group of hundreds of people gathered around a table, each of them wearing a black cloak that covered their bodies. After a moment, one of them spoke.
"How is the situation of your clans? Some kind of new information? "His voice was hoa.r.s.e and strange.
"Yes, my clan discovered some traitors, for they used things that belong only to the Remnants."
"In my clan, they have not found anything yet, but they are cautious about the possible traitors"
"In my case, the clan is using people with abilities to detect lies to discover the traitors"
"The clan is using this same method"
"My sect is in the same situation"
...
Everyone talked about the things that were happening in their own clans and sects, in the end, it all came down to the new rules of the clans and sects to try to discover the traitors.
"Alright, our superiors already imagined that this could happen, they just told us to stay in here waiting for new orders." The person who spoke seemed to be the leader of the group, after speaking, he took a crystal of images and activated, on the other side was a person dressed in black inside a palace made of white bones.
"The subordinates greet the leader." Everyone stood up and bowed before the person who appeared.
"I got the news about what"s going on inside the clans and sects, you did a good job. But for now, you do not have to do anything, we are concentrating on completing the secret realm, for now, our estimates are that in about thirty years the exploration group will complete the third level of the tenth secret realm. When that time comes, I need you to do something very important on behalf of our supreme lord. "The voice was totally distorted and I did not know if it was a man or a woman speaking.
"The subordinates understand"
"It"s all right. You will receive some orders that will be given by another superior for the time being. "After that person dressed in black came out, another appeared, he was also wearing a black cloak that totally covered his body.
"The orders this time are for you to stay inside the palace for the next thirty years, you will receive training with the help of one of our nine commanders for the next few years to improve the special abilities of the Remnants. Good luck."His voice was also distorted and strange.
...
A few days later, a portal opened and a person dressed in black appeared, a heavy aura of death could be felt in his body. It shows that this person has already made great slaughter.
"Follow me" The person appeared and spoke arrogantly in front of everyone, he did not care about these people, for him, the group was just a bunch of ants.
In the group there were many people of great clans and sects, after hearing the indifferent and arrogant tone of the person dressed in black, they were annoyed with this, but they could do nothing about it. If they dare to complain to a superior, their fate would be worse than death, they have already seen some disobedient people being tortured, those scenes were inside their minds and they would never forget.
The place that the black person led the group was an empty room, but when the group entered, they realized that the gravity in the place was much larger than before. This made it difficult for many to move.
"You will stay here for ten years, you will have this time to get accustomed to gravity. To improve your movements, some puppets will attack you, I hope everyone dodges these attacks because you will not want to hit them a second time. "After the black person finished speaking, ten dolls appeared, each one of them was holding a wooden sword.
Without giving time for the group of people to get accustomed to gravity, the puppets charged toward them while holding the sword. At first, everyone thought that the sword would do no harm, but they were mistaken, the moment the sword cut off one of the people"s arm, he shouted.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" One of the people shouted miserably, for he had felt an infernal pain in his soul. His arm was still intact, but his soul was bruised. The doll did not cause wounds in the body, it causes a wound in the soul, and the pain of having the wounded soul was a thousand times greater than the wound in the body.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A person who had his head cut off screamed.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Another shouted at the perforated chest.
Hundreds of screams of pain and agony began to echo through the gravity room, but there was no one outside to hear, the person in black who led the group into the room had already left. The group underwent this brutal training for ten years in a row without rest.
This scene was also happening in tens of thousands of places in the Nine Worlds, as it were also places where the traitors gathered. Each of these sites was located in an extremely dangerous and deadly location.
After ten years of training, the group of traitors received another training, they had to kill each other until only one remained. After ten years of torture, many went crazy and started killing each other, this helped to reduce their numbers.
Ten more years later, survivors from each location would gather for another deadly fight. Where only a hundred of them would survive, while the others would die on the way.
These fights were only a means for the Remnants to have fun while stealing souls from strong people, they would see the fun of the fights and then remove the souls from the dead bodies. No one in the Nine Worlds knew why the Remnants were gathering a large number of souls, even the traitors did not know.
