At the end of the passage, the palace still stood.
However, it was even more dilapidated than when Wukong and the others first saw it.
The stone steps in front of the palace gate are all broken.
It crumbled into powder.
The palace doors were wide open, and the inside was empty.
"Could it be that the person has already abandoned this place?" Niu Yancai looked around and asked.
"No, not at all." Wukong smiled.
Then he unleashed his golden cudgel and slammed it down onto the floor of the main hall.
With a loud bang.
The ground cracked open, revealing a dark passage.
The passageway was gloomy.
"Get out here now!" Wukong roared, his voice like a thunderclap in spring, echoing through the passage.
The next second, a figure...
To be precise, it was a transparent sphere that enveloped a person and rushed out of the passage.
Niu Yancai and Niu Yunxiao raised the magical weapons in their hands.
But after the transparent ball rolled up, it immediately bounced towards Wukong and the others.
That's because the person inside the ball is desperately kowtowing.
It vibrated in waves.
"I was unaware of your esteemed presence and have failed to greet you properly. I deserve to die for it," the figure inside the transparent sphere said respectfully while kowtowing.
When Wukong and his companions entered the main hall, he had already been awakened from his deep sleep.
But he decided to play dead.
Last time I tried to show off, I failed and even suffered a backlash that demoted me. The outside world is a bit too dangerous.
It's better to stay here.
Anyone can come and take whatever they want.
Anyway, he won't show his face again.
The outside world is far too dangerous.
Although he sensed the aura of Wukong's near-divine realm, he remained completely calm.
This place was originally a sealed area.
Moreover, since that incident, he has done everything in his power to add several more layers of seals to himself.
It shouldn't be discovered.
However, he did not expect that Wukong would discover his hiding place so easily.
Now that we've been discovered, we need to adopt the right attitude.
The weak must be aware of their own weakness.
Otherwise, what right do we have to live?
"You really don't know?" Wukong glanced at the man and asked casually.
The person inside the transparent sphere smiled obsequiously.
"I really don't know."
"The little man was sealed here and had been sleeping for a long time."
"Otherwise, even if you gave me a hundred or more lives, I would never dare to neglect you, sir."
“You didn’t have so many seals on you before.” Wukong glanced at the man again: “I remember last time I came, the seals were almost broken.”
"I was blind and ignorant before, and I offended you, sir." The person in the transparent ball said nervously, a layer of cold sweat appearing on their forehead.
He is now filled with deep regret.
If he had known earlier that this monkey had powerful backers, he would never have provoked him.
Hindsight is always 20/20.
"Answer whatever I ask!" Niu Shanming glanced at the man and said coldly.
"Yes, it was sealed by myself." The person inside the sphere pursed his lips and said, "After being attacked by the backlash last time, I was still afraid, so I sealed myself."
"Backlash?" Wukong was taken aback. "What's going on?"
"After you left, I tried to track your presence, but I was attacked by it," the person inside the sphere explained.
Wukong suddenly remembered that day; it had always felt as if something was spying on it.
The feeling disappeared after its owner spoke to it.
It initially thought it was an illusion.
I didn't take it to heart.
It turns out that it wasn't an illusion.
Wukong was immediately moved.
No matter when or where, the owners are always protecting their safety in their own way.
The master is the best master in the world.
"How dare you!" Wukong narrowed his eyes, his voice not loud, but it was enough to make the people inside the ball unable to stand up.
"My lord, I know I was wrong, please spare my life!" The person inside the ball kowtowed again.
"Have you ever harmed anyone?" Wukong asked.
"Huh?" The person inside the ball was taken aback.
He was sealed here because he was an evil person.
Moreover, before that, he wanted to kill them to break the seal.
They definitely caused harm.
Moreover, it has harmed many, many people.
Previously, he cultivated using the blood of mortals and had slaughtered several cities.
He was later sealed away, but awoke after a great calamity. He also lured many cultivators over to absorb their blood and cultivation to break the seal.
The total amount involved is countless.
"Great Sage is asking you a question! Have you ever harmed anyone?" Niu Yancai kicked the ball and asked coldly.
"I have harmed him before," the person inside the ball stammered.
"But, but that was not my intention."
“I am an orphan who was adopted by the sect leader of the Bloodthirsty Sect. He taught me to cultivate the Bloodthirsty Technique.”
"After cultivating the Bloodthirsty Technique, one must use human blood to cultivate it."
"Otherwise, you will die."
"I had no choice; I was forced into this situation."
"Nonsense!" Niu Yunxiao interrupted with a stern face: "As long as one abandons their own cultivation, the Bloodthirsty Technique can be stopped at the last minute and switch to other cultivation methods."
“Cultivating the Bloodthirsty Technique only requires nourishing oneself with human blood, without the need for arduous training, and the cultivation speed is very fast.”
"You clearly can't resist such temptation."
"No, no." The person inside the sphere was covered in sweat. "I was really forced into it. If I didn't cultivate the Bloodthirsty Technique, the sect leader would kill me."
"I just want to live."
"I know I shouldn't have traded so many lives for my own."
But who isn't selfish in this world?
"How many people would be willing to give up their own life to save the life of someone they have no relation to?"
"He still thinks he's right!" Niu Shanming sneered.
"This kind of person doesn't deserve to live!" Wukong said, "Kill him."
To avoid having the opportunity to harm others in the future.
This can be considered as eliminating a scourge for the people.
"I'll change, I'll change immediately!" the person inside the sphere shouted hurriedly. "I will now abandon my cultivation and switch to another method, and I will definitely do good every day from now on."
"No need." With a single sentence, Wukong decided the fate of everyone inside the sphere.
Seeing that his pleas for mercy were ineffective, the person inside the ball became ruthless: "If you don't let me live, I'll tear off a piece of your flesh even if I die."
As he spoke, the person inside the sphere rapidly expanded.
He looked like he'd been inflated by air.
It quickly swelled several times its original size, becoming almost the same size as the transparent sphere outside.
Then those transparent spheres began to crack.
A violent aura swept over.
Niu Yancai and Niu Yunxiao, and even Bai Wenyuan and Niu Shanming, who were at the Immortal Realm, became wary.
The self-destruction of the Immortal Realm is no joke.
Only Wukong didn't care at all.
Just as the person inside the ball was about to explode, Wukong raised his little paw and gently grabbed him.
It was like an inflated balloon suddenly being deflated.
The man quickly became shriveled.
In just a few breaths, it returned to its normal human form, but its aura became extremely weak.
"Die!" Wukong slashed again.
The next second, the person exploded as he had hoped.
Then, it was carried away by the wind.
It did not cause any harm to anyone.
