There is a huge dungeon built underground in the Qingtian Sect. The dim candlelight is powerless and cannot illuminate those haggard and injured faces.
People of different ages huddled together like domestic animals, their bodies covered with scars from the beatings of the hot chains, but they still did not want to fall into the devil's way or help them to harm lives. They all regretted that they should not have joined the Qingtian Sect. Who would have thought that the existence that was as famous as several other major forces was such a poison nest?
They had not realized until these days, facing the Emperor Qishi in the east of the East China Sea and the King of Wild Beasts in the south of the South China Sea, they wanted to serve like other big forces and protect the weak in the world, but they didn't know that they were part of the harm to the world. This reality severely frustrated them, making them doubt their own vision and hold their breath, as if they would never surrender even if they died.
When the iron door of the dungeon opened, it made an extremely unpleasant sound, causing more than 300 people to tremble all over and look over there in horror. Some people died under persecution, and some people gave in. They chose to remain silent, without the courage to die, but just held on to the last bit of hope and waited for salvation, but no one knew who was coming this time. But every time the door of the dungeon opened, a disaster occurred and someone died.
In the light, Pan Yu walked over. This nagging old man was once admired by many people. He was strong and humorous, and many people liked him. It was rumored that his family died at the hands of the devil, and he hated the devil the most. He chased Xia Xiao who was possessed by the devil and hacked him to death. But now, with the black and red luster of devilish energy in his eyes, he walked towards these huge cages.
No one dared to speak, and they kept silent. They avoided his gaze, not wanting to be picked by him. There were also some people with temperament who ignored the vitality on the iron bars of the cage and slammed into them, shouting:
"Pan Yu, you are a double-faced bastard! Have you forgotten the righteous words you said when you first recruited me as a disciple?"
The man who was about to enter old age had been in the Qingtian Sect for forty years, and had been working hard to recruit new students. No matter if they were eliminated by the academy or practitioners from all over the country, no matter their age, as long as they had a heart to practice and were above average in talent, they would get a chance. He traveled all over the Great Wilderness, made great contributions to the development of the Qingtian Sect, and selected the most suitable people for the Qingtian Sect. But at this moment, he was mercilessly hit by the lightning on the iron rod, and wisps of smoke and several pieces of charred black appeared on his face.
He gritted his teeth and glared at Pan Yu, but the latter held his head with one hand and said in a cold voice:
"Liu Qing, you have made such a great contribution to the Qingtian Sect, you deserve good treatment. I will give you a chance to join us!"
"Bah! I will never fall into the evil path, and I will not associate with you!"
"You should know that joining us does not mean you have to join the magic path, but to help us."
"What help? Help you kill people? Being possessed by a demon is being possessed by a demon, why do you have to be so righteous? You hypocritical villain, I was blind and believed your lies, so I joined the Qingtian Sect, but I didn't expect you to treat me and these disciples like this! There are 300 people here, and 100 of them have only been in the Qingtian Sect for four years. These people should have been the future of the Qingtian Sect and brought vitality to the Qingtian Sect, but you tortured them!"
"I have given you a choice, and now you can join our camp. The Qingtian Sect is indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing, but this wolf will become the master of the world. Instead of going against the tide, it is better to go with the flow."
Liu Qing twisted his neck and broke free from Pan Yu's hand. He then opened his arms, his old face as if bathed in holy light, as if he had seen the world prostrating at his feet.
"You are just dreaming! Your trick will soon be discovered."
Pan Yu snorted, and before a drop of blood was spilled, hundreds of people stiffened their bodies, their necks stiffened, their faces turned toward the dark ceiling, and the vitality and energy in their facial features were sucked out. This action was more real than torture, causing many women to scream and some men to stare blankly.
"Those who are unwilling to fall into the devil's way and help the devil will become the devil's food."
This was the most common phrase they had heard since they were locked up. They had heard it a hundred times in three days, but hearing it from Pan Yu was even more shocking. Was this really the deputy sect leader?
"You bastard!"
Liu Qing stood up suddenly from his kneeling position, bent the thundering iron bar with his arms, and slammed his arm towards Pan Yu. Before the huge fist could hit Pan Yu, the black-robed man behind Pan Yu rushed forward and pierced his chest with his arm, causing him to look painful.
The black-robed man raised his arm and lifted up the startled Liu Qing. His face was ferocious as if he was cursing, and with blood in his mouth, he bit his tongue word by word:
"You will die a miserable death!"
Although it was a little unclear, the blood foam was spat onto Pan Yu's face, and the latter wiped it off with his fingers, feeling a little regretful.
"You are so inflexible that there is no place for you. Even if you agree to me and run away secretly, I won't kill you."
"I want to be with my disciples. I recruited them and I harmed them."
Liu Qing, who was extremely remorseful, was dying, his internal organs were crushed by the vitality in the black-robed man's arms. But he suddenly raised his head in pain, with a chance of recovery.
The stiff hands formed seals at the last moment, the contract space opened, a big fish jumped out, opened its huge mouth, swallowed dozens of people in one breath, and then drilled into the muddy ground and disappeared.
Seeing this, Pan Yu raised his finger, and the heavy rocks fell to the ground, causing the ground covered with dead grass to tremble. Several prison cages were also smashed, and the shaking made the place feel like an earthquake, but under Pan Yu's mind, they turned into rubble. The faces of those who stayed behind were full of despair. Why were they not the ones who were taken away?
"cough!"
Liu Qing was thrown to the ground by the black-robed man and spit out a mouthful of blood. Pan Yu saw this and stopped the black-robed man with a sigh.
"Don't worry, there's no point in catching it back like this."
The man in black robe nodded and looked at Pan Yu's eyes which were full of black and red energy, with demonic energy growing rapidly in them. He couldn't help but want to try it as well. This power seemed to make people fascinated and want to try it.
Pan Yu absorbed the vitality and vitality of hundreds of people. With the help of Hei Huang's powerful magic source, he quickly entered the magic path, and his vitality began to be assimilated by the magic energy. When the amount of vitality was large enough, the magic source was discharged from his body and disappeared as a faint light. The increase in strength made Pan Yu enjoy waves of pleasure and comfort that were indescribable.
"So this is the power of the devil..."
Pan Yu clenched his fists, the power in them made him feel very happy, and his smile gradually became more ferocious. He had long wanted to try this method of rapid strengthening himself, and now that he had tasted it, it was really intoxicating and fascinating. Although the vitality had not yet been completely assimilated, Pan Yu squatted in front of Liu Qing, holding his head with one hand, and sighed:
"It took you a long time to prepare this move, didn't it? What a pity, you are too weak."
Liu Qing's face was facing the ground, gritting his teeth and wishing he could tear Pan Yu into pieces, but he only had the strength of a fruit. At some point, the fruit realm had become extremely simple, so that at the critical moment, he could only lie on the ground like this and let Pan Yu suck his life energy and vitality dry.
After licking his lips, Pan Yu did not feel full, but instead had a desire that was difficult to control even with his strength. But these people were not strong, so it didn't matter if they finished sucking. Pan Yu was ready to kill, but before he did, he asked:
"If anyone has joined, please come out now, or you will die in this dark dungeon. Don't give up your life for the so-called belief. Nothing is more important than life!"
The lightning that kept flashing on the iron rods left a few sparks and disappeared. The iron gate was wide open. Most people began to waver, but some continued to lie in the corner, tilting their heads and waiting to die. For them, life was not the most important thing. This was the reason why they were chosen by Liu Qing to bring to the Qingtian Sect, and it was also the reason for their death at this time.
"three!"
"two!"
Pan Yu didn't have that much time to wait, so he just counted down jokingly. Sure enough, when everyone wanted to survive, but also cared about their face and the righteousness in their hearts, someone took the lead in breaking the deadlock, climbed out of the cage, hugged Pan Yu's feet, and begged:
"I was wrong! Lord Deputy Sect Leader, I was wrong! I am willing to become a demon, I am willing to become a demon! Please don't kill me."
"Spineless thing!"
The thin man spat and rushed forward, mobilizing his vitality as if he was going to explode. However, the vitality he thought was huge was swallowed up by Pan Yu like a cookie with just a pinch of his palm. As for his skinny body, it became an exaggerated bag of bones.
"No one left?"
He shouted softly, and more people rushed out of the cage. Those who were sitting still looked at them and sighed. In front of death, there was no dignity, but they didn't want to kill any living beings, so they stopped here!
The desperate person's eyes are already dead before he dies, extremely cold and without any life, just waiting for death.
In the blink of an eye, Pan Yu, who was enjoying it, hid his own magic energy into the bodies of hundreds of people and said with a smile:
"Go chase those guys, they are heading south. If you don't kill them within two days, you will absorb the energy of living beings to prolong your life. The magic source in your body will give you the ability to absorb the energy and vitality of living beings. But if you don't kill them within two days, and don't kill the people around you and the living beings along the way, then you will be attacked by the magic energy in your body!"
The hundred people looked at each other, some were afraid and some were looking for weak targets in advance. The dungeon door opened, and the hundred people who had been tortured for three days finally saw a ray of light. They were driven by people, and although they had not become demons, they had demonic appearances. The hundred people rushed out in a hurry like four-clawed animals, running wildly in front of the castle, urging their vitality to go south.
Some cruel people took action in advance, and several miserable female screams were heard not far from the dungeon.
"interesting."
Pan Yu fell into the devil's way for his own great plan, so he did not hesitate to use the devil's energy in his body to target the remaining people. His eyes flashed with black and red light, and before they could explode, the vitality and life energy in their bodies had already left them involuntarily. These different colors of light generally had a sweet taste, which made Pan Yu open his mouth wide to swallow.
The black-robed man beside him was extremely envious. He licked his lips. When Pan Yu injected a trace of magic into his body, the dozen people guarding the dungeon in the room all fell to the ground. The black-robed man knelt beside them and bit their necks like a beast. He found that the bright red blood attracted him more. After a moment, Pan Yu blamed him:
"You eat in a very barbaric way."
The man in black robe turned his head, his face and neck were covered in blood. He smiled eerily, and in the blink of an eye he was buried in a pool of blood again.
