“I think that girl with the big cloth bag looks pretty, I’ll take her!” said a female demon cultivator.
"I want the one dressed simply. This girl is really well-developed. With a figure like that, she'll definitely seduce all the men out there if I can go out!"
Of the four people who came in this time, there were three women and one man, so the female demon cultivators had a particularly lively discussion.
They have been without physical bodies for nearly a thousand years. After their deaths, their souls were sealed here, enduring the pain brought by the sealing formation for countless days and nights, to atone for the sins they committed in their previous lives.
Over the millennia, occasionally some unlucky souls have stumbled upon this place. The lucky ones are captured by the monsters outside the formation, corrupted by the poisonous mist, and die, ending their lives, or become one of those monsters themselves. The unlucky ones arrive at this great hall, foolishly believing it to be the place of inheritance for fallen great beings, unaware that what awaits them is the possession of their bodies and the cruel dismemberment of their souls by demonic cultivators, until they vanish into thin air and are never seen again.
The boy on the ground is the best example. He is being possessed by a powerful demonic cultivator's soul. Although his willpower is good, he probably won't be able to hold on for long.
The boy was Meng Xian.
He came to this hall by chance. After passing through layers of tests, the spirit of an old man with white hair appeared in the hall. The old man kindly asked him if he wanted to inherit his sword technique.
Meng Xian would naturally agree, just as Lan Siran and the others said, as the male lead, he could encounter opportunities just by wandering around.
Meng Xian deeply understood this point from his previous life.
He agreed without much suspicion, never expecting that the seemingly kind old man would try to possess him when he was off guard!
If he hadn't discovered it in time, the other party would probably have succeeded by now!
But that old thing's soul was not that of an ordinary demonic cultivator. It was a powerful demon from the Demon Realm who fought alongside the former Demon Lord a thousand years ago and was later sealed here by the righteous path.
He was careless...
Unexpectedly, this was not an opportunity left behind by a powerful being, but a deception designed to take his life!
At this moment, Meng Xian's eyes were already bloodshot, and he was pounding his head in pain with his hands. The pain of his soul being torn apart was unbearable for him. The other party wanted to possess him, replace him, and kill him completely!
The demonic cultivator may have seen Meng Xian's painful childhood experiences in his memories, and is using a seductive tone to make him hand over control of his body. Since living is so painful, and even his only truly loving adoptive mother is dead, why not just disappear and let him live in his place!
The death of his adoptive mother was a thorn in Meng Xian's heart. After that, all the women who approached him had ulterior motives, and no one treated him sincerely anymore...
There is no one.
The demonic cultivator's words had an effect; Meng Xian no longer struggled in pain as before. The other demonic cultivators' souls all knew that Old Man Zhong was about to successfully possess someone.
However, even if a cultivator is possessed, they cannot leave this place. The reason they possess a cultivator's body is that the sealing formation will only make the soul feel worse than death. After possession, they can at least suffer less pain for a period of time while the physical body is alive.
Moreover, the boy who was possessed this time was born with a demonic body. With Old Man Zhong's powerful strength, he might actually be able to take this opportunity to leave this hellish place!
However, Meng Xian was not successfully possessed as the demonic cultivators' souls had expected. In the moment before his consciousness began to dissipate and he almost completely relinquished control of his body, a slender figure suddenly appeared in his mind. Her pink dress was not dazzling, and she did not deliberately try to please or approach him, but... she remained deeply etched in his heart.
"What's going on... this child has regained consciousness again?" A demonic cultivator's soul asked in surprise.
"I never imagined that he could withstand Elder Zhong's attacks for so long without being possessed!"
"He's a promising talent, but unfortunately..." Once you're in here, you're destined not to leave alive.
The demons and cultivators discussed it amongst themselves.
It should be known that demonic cultivators have always respected strength. Old Man Zhong's full name is Zhong Fu. As a demonic cultivator's soul that deliberately cut in line to possess another's body, he was a capable subordinate of the former Demon Lord a thousand years ago.
It was truly unexpected that Meng Xian was able to avoid being possessed by Elder Zhong.
At this moment, a dignified voice interrupted their noise: "What are you all arguing about?"
"Elder Yu..."
