Tianning followed the man into the secret passage.
At first, nothing seemed amiss, but as one stepped over the hidden array, it felt as if they had entered another space, and the search stone in Tianning's mustard seed bag lit up at the opportune moment.
Found it!
After navigating a winding and circuitous route, the man finally arrived at his destination.
Within this space, arrays that suppress cultivation are everywhere. The mortal realm already has the laws of heaven, and with the addition of these arrays that suppress cultivation here, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that ordinary cultivators who enter here are completely crushed!
If it were just to imprison people, the Seven Killings Sect wouldn't have needed to go to such great lengths.
Rather than preventing captured people from escaping, this place seems more like it was built to suppress something...
The man made his way skillfully to the place where the female cultivators were being held. They had captured quite a few people, mostly rogue cultivators, so that even if they disappeared, it wouldn't attract attention.
Ignoring Xu Jiaojiao and her group, the man directly opened the iron cage containing several rogue cultivators. The rogue cultivators, who were imprisoned together, huddled together. The man didn't bother to choose them; he grabbed one of the outside cultivators at random, grabbed his clothes, and tried to drag him out!
"No—no!" the rogue cultivator screamed, but his resistance was futile.
"Stop! Don't touch her!"
Unlike the others who were terrified, Xu Jiaojiao gripped the iron cage and roared, "You damned evil cultivator, all you do is resort to these underhanded tricks! You're a disgusting coward! I told you to stop! Did you hear me?!"
No matter how much Xu Jiaojiao cursed, the man ignored her.
It is said that this female cultivator is a direct disciple of a major sect in the cultivation world. In order to nurture the creature inside, the immortal master specially brought these female cultivators over.
Unexpectedly, those major sects were truly willing to part with their treasures. Not long ago, when the Seven Killings Sect dragged Xu Jiaojiao inside, the protective magic artifact within Xu Jiaojiao's body seemed to sense the imminent danger of death, and the person dragging Xu Jiaojiao was almost electrocuted by intense lightning!
If the Immortal Master hadn't been there to observe the effects of these newly captured female cultivators, he wouldn't have been able to intervene in time.
Upon discovering that the protective artifact within Xu Jiaojiao's body was extraordinary, even the most knowledgeable immortal couldn't help but remark, "Your sect's elders truly dote on you."
If we kill her, the protective artifact inside her body will completely expose the location of this place.
The female cultivator who was traveling with Xu Jiaojiao was also temporarily unable to move.
Despite the immortal's explicit prohibition, no matter what Xu Jiaojiao said, the man simply ignored her. He was eager to complete his mission and leave; he didn't want to linger in this awful place any longer.
Normally, such a small matter could be left to his subordinates, but the immortal has too many people to handle, so he insists that the seven of them take turns doing it every day. What could possibly go wrong with that?
Just as he was thinking this, the man's foot suddenly seemed to be tripped by something. Before he could react, he fell to the ground, and the rogue cultivator he was holding was also freed.
"Damn it!" the man cursed, trying to drag the female cultivator who had run away back.
But just as he reached out his hand, a flash of sword light streaked past his eyes. The speed was so fast that by the time he realized that his right arm had been severed, the blood spurting from the cut had already splattered all over his face!
"Ahhhh—"
As the man screamed in agony, he finally realized that the person in front of him shouldn't be there!
It's that female cultivator who performed the ritual to release all the vengeful spirits at Jingguan Temple! What is she doing here?
Surprised, the man saw Tian Ning go over to comfort the frightened rogue cultivator, and with a sinister look in his eyes, he reached for something at his waist to launch a sneak attack.
But then a giant version of a handsome man suddenly appeared in front of him, startling the man so much that he fell to the ground. It was only then that the man realized that the thing that had frightened him was a spirit, and it was emanating a terrifying demonic aura...
"You decide what to do."
Tian Ning waved to the Demon Sword, then gently helped the rogue cultivator up and led him back, preventing him from seeing the brutal scene behind them.
When they arrived at the place where everyone was being held, they were all very uneasy after hearing the man's screams, wondering what had happened outside.
Upon seeing the people from Tianning, Xu Jiaojiao perked up immediately: "Tianning! Tianning!"
Her words reached the ears of those inside. Shi Qinxin and Long Aotian, who had been lying on the ground watching their senior brother kick and shove the iron bars and were practically biting them with their teeth, quickly got up and shouted towards the door, "Junior Sister! Junior Sister!"
The others didn't know what was going on either, but they all looked at Tianning with longing eyes.
Tianning: "..."
That's great, everyone's here now, no need to look elsewhere.
"Hey! Tianning, did you deal with that evil cultivator from earlier? Bring us the key from his body to open the door for us, otherwise we can't open it. Your senior brother has been busy over there for a whole day and night, but to no avail!" Xu Jiaojiao said hurriedly.
