The stone tablet rose up on its own, and those people felt both fear and anticipation.
What's frightening is that the stone tablet rose on its own; there might be some danger lurking within. What's exciting is that there might be something good beneath it.
Although the stone tablet gave Liu Xiaoyuan a sense of danger, he did not leave because he wanted to see what good things were underneath it.
With a rumbling sound, the surrounding ground cracked open, and the stone tablet slowly rose up. After rising about five meters, the stone tablet stopped rising.
When everyone saw that the stone tablet had stopped rising, no one dared to move. They all stood at a distance and watched quietly.
Time passed second by second, and the stone tablet moved again. The ground shook once more, even more violently than before. Suddenly, a huge sinkhole appeared on the ground with a rumble, and the stone tablet stood upright in the void. Then, a cloud of pitch-black gas rose directly from the sinkhole.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene. The black gas didn't look like anything good; it might be some kind of evil thing.
"Haha..." Suddenly, a piercing scream came from the pit, a sound like the laughter of a prisoner released after serving his sentence.
There was actually someone inside! Everyone was stunned.
At this point, even the most foolish person would know that this stone tablet was meant to suppress the person who had just laughed. It was only because they had inadvertently moved the tablet that the person suppressed by it was released.
"Everyone, run!" someone shouted, and they were about to fly away. Those who were being suppressed were all extremely vicious and wicked people. Such people had profound cultivation and ruthless methods. If they stayed here, they would only become targets for others to kill.
"If you want to leave, stay here!" The voice rang out again, and a pitch-black mass enveloped the surrounding area, forming a cage-like structure.
"Let's all work together to break this cage, or we'll all die!" Zhang Xi shouted. At this moment, Zhang Xi no longer had the sense of superiority that comes with being a disciple of a major sect.
No one will hold Zhang Xi accountable for past grievances anymore, because Zhang Xi is right. If they don't escape, they will all die here. As cultivators, who wants to die? They haven't lived enough yet and want eternal life.
"Let's all work together to break this black cage!" Zhang Xi shouted, and then immediately took action.
Everyone joined in, but after a round of attacks, they found that these attacks were completely ineffective against the black cage. Damn, this is troublesome.
"Haha... You little Golden Core cultivators, don't waste your energy. With your current abilities, you can't escape my cage. You'd better obediently become my food." The voice rang out.
Then, a figure appeared under the black demonic energy. The person was a man in his thirties. He looked no different from an ordinary person, except for his blood-red eyes, which looked particularly eerie.
"Haha... You little Golden Core stage cultivators, you must be delicious. If I eat you all, I think my cultivation will reach another level, haha..."
Upon hearing the man's words, the cultivators present were terrified. This man actually wanted to eat people, which was even more terrifying than killing them.
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at the man and couldn't tell his cultivation level, which meant that the man's cultivation level must be above the Nascent Soul stage. If no miracle happened, everyone present would die here.
"Senior, I am a disciple of Penglai Immortal Island. Please spare my life for the sake of our sect." Zhang Xi stepped forward and begged for mercy, hoping that the name of his sect would frighten the other party and make him let him go.
Seeing Zhang Xi use this move, Yan Ruyu and the others also used the same move, thinking that once they told the man their name, he would definitely not dare to do anything to them.
Meanwhile, the disciples of those smaller sects were secretly anxious, wondering why they didn't have a master from a major sect.
Who knew that the middle-aged man didn't take Zhang Xi and the others' words seriously at all. He laughed and said, "Kid, who do you think you are? You're trying to scare me with your sect's name. Haha, I hate so-called famous sects like you the most. You should have kept quiet, because now that you've said that, I'll kill you first."
Hearing the man's words, the disciples of those small sects felt a sense of satisfaction. Serves you right for showing off and using your sect to show off. Now you've been struck by lightning, haven't you?
"No, senior, you can't do this..." Zhang Xi and the others were extremely anxious. Who wanted to die? Naturally, they immediately begged for mercy.
The man laughed and said, "Do you want to live? If you want to live, then kneel down and beg for mercy right now, hurry up!"
The cultivators exchanged glances and then knelt down. This cultivator was far too powerful; none of them could defeat him. As long as they could survive, they were willing to kneel.
A true man can bend and stretch; what is this little humiliation?
However, Liu Xiaoyuan did not kneel, nor would he kneel. What is a cultivator like you? Why should I kneel to you? What are you?
"Haha..." The man laughed again, but halfway through his laughter, he suddenly realized that Liu Xiaoyuan had not knelt down, so he immediately stopped laughing and stared at Liu Xiaoyuan with a pair of red eyes.
"Boy, why aren't you kneeling? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" the man asked with a smile.
At this moment, in his eyes, Liu Xiaoyuan was prey, prey that could be killed at any time.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Why should I kneel down? Who do you think you are? Why should I kneel down?"
Upon hearing this, the man's face turned extremely ugly. Liu Xiaoyuan had actually disrespected him, calling him nobody—this was the greatest humiliation he could suffer. And in front of so many people, it was practically suicidal!
"Kid, what did you just say? Believe me or not, I'll make you wish you were dead right now!" the man said viciously.
Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "Sorry, you don't have the ability to make me wish I were dead!"
Liu Xiaoyuan has a god-level invincible system, and this is no joke. If Liu Xiaoyuan were willing, he could lend out someone and possibly kill this man!
Therefore, if this man really intends to attack Liu Xiaoyuan, then Liu Xiaoyuan will have no choice but to seek help from the God-level Invincible System to directly kill the man.
