"Teacher Lu...why? Why are you locking us up?"
"Teacher Lu, please let me go! My family is very wealthy. I can have my parents pay my ransom. You can ask for any amount of money you want..."
“Teacher Lu, my family can also help. My family owns several energy mines. If you release me, my family can give you a lot of resources…”
...
Countless cries and pleas for mercy filled the dark, foul-smelling basement.
Lu Can smiled and said gently, "Once I refine you all, you will all obey me obediently, and what you possess and inherit will also become mine."
The crowd trembled, their eyes filled with terror and resentment.
They tried to resist, but Lu Shen had given them medicine that sealed off all their cultivation, leaving them weak and powerless, even struggling to move a finger.
Let alone killing this devil in sheep's clothing, we can't even escape.
With the gentlest smile and the most ruthless actions, Lu Can grabbed a girl by the hair and a boy by the collar, dragging them out of the house.
We followed the dim and gloomy corridor all the way to the deepest part.
The dim lighting flickered on and off, making the gloomy corridor seem even more eerie and terrifying.
The boy and girl struggled and screamed, their fingers gripping the walls of the narrow passageway.
A series of bloodstains were left behind.
The yellow light flickered, sweeping across the dark walls almost imperceptibly.
That fleeting mark was clearly a scratch, a bloodstain left behind.
The mottled black and red streaks, one after another, actually covered the walls on both sides near the ground.
Lu Can slowly dragged the person to the deepest part.
Unlike the dimness of the outside corridor, the inside was as bright as day.
One after another, incandescent lamps illuminated the entire space, which was over a hundred square meters in size, making it bright and clear.
It's too bright, so bright that it makes people feel uncomfortable, with an indescribable eerie feeling.
Especially in this empty place, there were rows of blood-red coffins standing around the walls.
In the center was an altar that reeked of blood, surrounded by a dense circle of eerie runes drawn in blood.
Lu Can dragged the two men to the altar and picked up a boning knife dripping with blood.
“Hate, the more you hate and resent, the more you will become evil spirits after death.”
Lu Can looked at the two gently, and used his boning knife to trace a few strokes on their bodies.
But he didn't rush to make a move, seemingly to scare the two of them, to frighten them out of their wits.
Do you know how evil spirits are made?
"I will first skin you alive, then divide you into pieces. That way, your resentment will be overwhelming, and you will gather powerful malevolent energy in a short period of time."
"These malevolent energies, and your souls, can not only be used by me and be at my beck and call, but if you disobey, I will refine you into Soul Devouring Breath."
"See those coffins around here? Inside are all the red robes I crafted, the sharpest blades in my hand."
“In the future, I can also let them wear your skins, return to your lives, and take your place.”
"So, as for the money and resources you're talking about, I don't need you to give them to me at all; they will all become mine."
"If your parents and relatives are disobedient, they will even take your place and send your parents and relatives to paradise sooner..."
The boy, unable to bear it any longer, screamed wildly, "Aaaaaah! You evil spirit! You beast! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
The girl cried and cursed, "I'll haunt you even as a ghost! If I can really become an evil spirit, I'll drag you down to hell!"
Lu Can was extremely satisfied: "Curse, hate, resent, the more ruthless you are, the more I like it."
Seeing the resentment gathering around the two of them, Lu Can became excited.
The boning knife, dripping with blood, was aimed at the boy's ankle.
Blood gushed out, and the sharp pain turned the boy's face deathly pale.
But he had no strength to resist, like a fish on a chopping board.
He could only watch helplessly as the demon slashed open his ankle and then sliced upwards along the outside of his calf.
He could even sense that this demon was a veteran, very experienced in his methods.
Seemingly anticipating that he would soon be skinned alive, the boy's eyes blazed with resentment and hatred.
His eyes gradually turned bloodshot and red due to overwhelming hatred and extreme pain.
My consciousness began to waver.
In a daze, he seemed to hear a faint, clear laugh.
"Do you want me to save you? Two Grade A resource mines as payment."
Yang Xu felt as if he was hallucinating, but even if it was, he still wanted to seize the opportunity.
Even if it's all fake.
"good……"
Lu Can paused, looking at the pale-faced boy with a puzzled expression.
"What did you say?"
"He said, 'Let me save him.'"
Lu Can looked up abruptly and saw a girl in a red trench coat standing at the entrance.
Her figure was hidden in the dim light, and Lu Can could only vaguely make out that she was a very young girl, but he couldn't make out her exact appearance.
"Who are you?"
Lu Can frowned, a sense of crisis rising in his heart.
Jin Shangyue slowly emerged from the darkness, a faint, alluring smile playing on her lips.
"I've come to take your life."
Lu Can's face instantly darkened, and in a flash, his entire body was enveloped in a thick layer of black energy, making him look terrifying and sinister.
"You're a cultivator? What? You want to act on behalf of Heaven?"
“I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business, otherwise I wouldn’t mind having another woman in red in this storage room, or…”
