The group followed Tianning forward and saw more women locked in cages.
The deeper they went, the more they encountered young girls and boys no more than ten years old. They couldn't speak, only making simple "ah ah uh uh" sounds, like walking corpses.
The roots of the plants underfoot were even more prominent, and it was now clearly visible that they were tree roots...
It wasn't until they heard the painful sounds of a woman giving birth and smelled the strong stench of blood that they truly witnessed the dark side of the Xuanyuan family.
This is where the giant floating tree takes root, its roots forming a tangled spiderweb that covers the ground and walls.
A dozen or so corpses lay piled up, their necks slashed, crimson blood staining the ground, yet the tree roots relentlessly sucked it away. Some roots even wrapped themselves tightly around the bodies, making it easier to drain the blood…
"Not enough, not enough!"
"The ancestor said that the demand this time is even greater, twice as much as before!"
"If you see any that aren't up to par, just do it! We've been raising them for so long, it's time to slaughter some to lighten the burden on the brothers!"
...
They are all the same kind of people, yet these people treat each other like butchers slaughtering ordinary livestock.
Such a bizarre scene sends chills down your spine!
Xu Jiaojiao was terrified and stood there dumbfounded.
Even Wenren Xue was so shocked that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately her third brother Wenren Bai caught her in time.
They were born in a peaceful period in the cultivation world, and most of them were not even a hundred years old. Even the invasion of the cultivation world by the Demon Lord was a distant past. Even if they had seen the evil deeds committed by some villains, they had never seen such an outrageous and bloody scene.
"That must be the Floating Life Tree... The Xuanyuan family has been nourishing it with human blood?"
"That's why later generations never found a way to make the Floating Life Tree bear Floating Life Fruit again... and they resorted to such cruel methods..."
With so many living people in such a dungeon, how long has this hell existed?
"Beast! Utterly depraved!"
...
The commotion was quite loud, and the servants who had been feeding the giant floating tree turned around and asked, "What are you all doing...?"
"Tianning, are they the ones you want us to kill?"
A swordsman had already placed his sword against the servant's neck.
Wang Dameng, a disciple of the Body Tempering Clan, gathered spiritual power in his palm and struck out, directly knocking away a servant who was coming towards him.
How ridiculous!
"Your Xuanyuan family has enjoyed a reputation for producing geniuses for a thousand years. The world laments the demise of the Xuanyuan family, believing that the heavens were jealous of the Xuanyuan family and that this calamity was their downfall. Now it seems that the evil deeds you committed have been punished by the heavens! You deserved it!"
The sword cultivator swung his sword, the talisman cultivator raised his talisman... but the few servants who had been torturing the women who were powerless to kill were quickly brought to the ground and died.
The disciples were somewhat at a loss and wanted to check on the women's condition. Even though they knew it was a fake secret realm, some disciples from the Dan Ding Sect took out pills for everyone to feed to the women.
They weren't stupid; they knew it was futile. These people had died a thousand years ago, yet they were still moved.
"Let's... take them out."
"Go out into the sunshine, find a good place to settle them down, even if it's just for one normal day."
...
"Junior Sister Tianning," someone called out. She was a direct disciple of the Dan Ding Sect. "Thank you for risking your life to uncover the truth. The Six Sects will definitely destroy such an evil creature as the Floating Life Giant Tree! We will never allow such an evil creature to exist in the world again!"
If this secret realm competition ends in such a muddled way, how much longer will the world remain in the dark?
If the Floating Life Tree were to truly regain its former vitality, what a calamity that would be!
Shi Qinxin really wanted to pat her junior sister on the shoulder and exclaim, "Wow, that's great!"
But... it's not over yet.
“You can’t take them away,”
Tianning stopped everyone's actions. She stood there, an iron sword in her hand, which she pointed directly at the victims being held in the arms of her disciples: "The people I want you to kill are them."
"W-what!"
