Ultimate God of Swords - Chapter 1048
Chapter 1048 Sihai Empyrean
Within a dark and empty hall, one could vaguely hear bursts of sobs and powerless groans. Through the dim light, one could see that there were actually a large number of immortals, both male and female. At this moment, all of these immortals were naked and suspended by copper chains. Some of these people were unconscious, some slowly opened their eyes, and looked at the huge cauldron in the middle of the hall in horror.
The cauldron was completely dark, There was a ferocious demonic face on the surface, Beneath the cauldron were broken hands and feet. These hands and feet were like brackets, supporting the massive cauldron. The top of the cauldron emitted a pungent stench of black smoke. Green light flickered from time to time inside the cauldron, and it was unknown what it was refining. However, if one listened carefully, they could hear screams coming from inside.
These people who were hanging on the cauldron looked at the cauldron in horror, their bodies trembling crazily.
“Haha, how pitiful. Look at them. What do they look like?”
The two Immortals standing at the entrance of the hall leaned against the wall and looked at the people who were hanging up mockingly.
“Do you look like pigs?? Boars and sows? Huh? Do you look like pigs?? Hahahaha…”
“Like!! Like!! Hahahaha…”
Their ridicule reverberated throughout the hall. However, none of the people who were hanged were angry. They were now surrounded by fear and had no other emotions.
Creaking sounds slowly rose. At this moment, the door was pushed open.
The two of them, who were still laughing wildly, quickly stopped their voices and hurriedly bowed to the person who came.
The person who came was an old man wearing a black robe. He carried a long dao sword on his back and held a whisk in his hand. His sunken eyes casually glanced at the two disciples at the entrance. Without making a sound, he directly walked inside.
‘”Woo…”
The old man walked into the hall, and bursts of sobs immediately sounded from inside. It was as if he was crying, but also as if he was struggling. Fear and despair filled the entire hall.
The old man held onto the whisk and walked beneath them. His pair of eyes carefully sized up each person’s body. Finally, his gaze lingered on a man and a woman.
“Open the cauldron.”
The old man turned around and said.
When these words landed on the ground, the entire hall immediately boiled. The people shook their bodies crazily, as if they wanted to break free from the iron chains that bound their wrists. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not escape. These existences that used to be called immortals were now like fish waiting to be slaughtered on the table.
“Yes, Master!”
The two disciples hurriedly clasped their fists and quickly walked to the cauldron. They clenched their hands and the thick cauldron lid immediately floated up. Soaring mist sprayed out from the cauldron, accompanied by a large number of miserable cries.
The people hanging from the cauldron looked into the cauldron lid. A frightening scene appeared in their line of sight, Inside the cauldron, It was actually corpses that had been roasted to the point that they were practically inhumane. They all died, but their souls struggled on the corpses. For some reason, their souls seemed to be pinched by the corpses, unable to break free. They could only roast the corpses in the cauldron furnace after being corroded by the evil fire. The pain was endless, and the scene was especially tragic.
The old man looked at the frightened faces of the hanging people. The serious old face revealed a strange smile. He walked to the man and woman he had seen before and circled around their bodies. He stroked the beard on their chin and said, “Ling Xuan is a Second Grade Immortal. His bones are still good and his soul is strong. It’s a good equipment for refining pills. Add them to it.”
“Yes, Master.”
The two disciples nodded, then walked to the side and pulled on the chains on the wall.
In an instant, the two Immortals suspended by the chains were pulled by the chains and moved directly towards the cauldron furnace entrance.
“Ah!!!!”
The man and woman let out a mournful shout. Although they no longer had much strength, at this final moment, they were struggling with strength from nowhere. However … Right now, they were only struggling. Their strength had already been sealed, and it was impossible for them to escape from this terrifying hall.
“Haha, since you’ve been captured by the old Taoist, you should obediently become the refined ingredients of the old Taoist. When this divine pill is forged and consumed by the old Taoist, it will be considered your honor, right? Hahaha …”
The old man said with a smile. Seeing that the more those people struggled, the more terrified they were, and the more terrified they were, the smile on the old man’s face became even brighter.
The iron chain slowly dragged the man and woman towards the cauldron furnace entrance. The old men ignored their sobs and screams and looked at them.
Bata.
The chains around their wrists suddenly broke and the two of them fell into the cauldron like broken kites.
Almost as soon as the two of them landed, the thick cauldron lid immediately covered the cauldron. The flames beneath the cauldron abruptly expanded several times, and terrifying flames frantically roasted the cauldron.
“Ah!!! Ah!!!!!”
A miserable scream sounded from inside the cauldron. The cauldron shook gently, showing how intense the people inside struggled.
However, the old man looked at the struggling cauldron with a relaxed expression. In less than a few breaths, the cauldron calmed down.
Everything was calm again, and only those who were hanging were still sobbing and crying.
It’s like a purgatory…
The old man nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and said to the two disciples, “Take a good look at this cauldron. Don’t let the fire go out.”
“Yes, Master.” The two of them said respectfully.
“Yes.”
The old man nodded and walked out.
…
…
Hu! ! ! !
A strong wind blew over, and a large number of figures flew at lightning speed towards the dark blue clouds in front of them that looked like the sea.
The thick clouds were vast and boundless, occupying all the sky in front of him. Moreover, the clouds were thick and dense. Even immortal energy could not overflow through them. If a person walked in, they would probably lose their way. It was like a thick wall blocking everyone’s path. However, what was surprising was that there was a big hole in the middle of the thick clouds. This hole was very mysterious, like a door that led directly to the other end of the clouds. This was the Sky Gate.
“Spread out and hide.”
Wei Ming shouted and took the lead to the right side of the Sky Gate. He executed an Immortal Technique and his body completely disappeared. When the other followers saw this, they immediately followed suit. All of the people rushing towards the Sky Gate had disappeared without a trace before they even reached the Sky Gate.
Although it was shadowless, everyone was actually hiding by the side, using the power of an immortal artifact to cover their bodies.
“If you use an immortal artifact, you must not let anyone else notice our existence. You can hide here, okay?”
Wei Ming said.
“Elder, there’s no one here. Do we have to be on guard against anyone?” A disciple from Linglong Palace asked curiously.
“Who said no one?” Wei Ming snorted and said, “It’s just that you didn’t see it!” “This is the Sky Gate. It’s close to the Eight Harmonies Gate. Many Loose Immortals passing by here have disappeared inexplicably. If our guess is correct, most of them have been captured by the people from the Eight Harmonies Gate. If there are no people from the Eight Harmonies Gate hiding here, then they will be on the other side of the Eight Harmonies Gate. In short, there are quite a few tricks here. Let’s just keep an eye on them.”
“What if someone appears?” The disciple asked again.
Wei Ming’s expression darkened when he heard this, “As long as it’s someone from the Eight Trigrams Sect, they will all be killed. There’s no need to show mercy!”
“Yes.”
Everyone shouted.
The group of people stationed themselves in front of the Sky Gate. From afar, they could see that this place was empty.
I don’t know how long I’ve been waiting…
“I believe your Excellency should be arriving soon. Yuan Zhu, go ahead and take a look.”
At this moment, Wei Ming spoke again.
A female disciple flew out and rushed forward.
However, not long after she flew out, she returned.
“Elder, someone’s here.”
The disciple called Yuan Zhu said.
“But your Excellency is here?” Wei Ming asked.
“Sir?” The disciple called Yuan Zhu was slightly suspicious, “Who is the Elder referring to?”
Wei Ming heard this and was stunned for a moment before realizing that he did not reveal Su Yun’s matter to the disciples below him. Even Xing Bai and Qin Qianlong were the same. They only called their disciples a few sects alliance, that was all.
He coughed and said, “You should know that our Great Linglong Palace has allied with Qianlong Hall, Freedom Hall and Immortal Seeking Sect, right?”
“This disciple knows.”
Everyone nodded.
“In that case, this Lord is the Alliance Leader of this alliance.”
“Alliance Leader? Then do you dare to ask if it’s Sect Leader Qin Qianlong or Sect Leader Xing Bai?” Yuan Zhu asked.
“Neither.” A trace of fear flashed through Wei Ming’s eyes as he said in a low voice, “It was the one who killed Sunflower … the guardian of the Immortal Seeking Sect. In fact, his strength is far above ours!”
“Ah?” Everyone was shocked.
“Don’t talk too much about Master. In short, following Master will only be better than following Sunflower Sun. You can understand this. I will bring you along, and you won’t suffer any losses.” Wei Ming said again. Actually, at this point, he noticed that he had said a little too much. He hurriedly added that he had the intention to take these disciples as his trusted aides. He only wanted to see if these disciples had comprehension. Actually, Wei Ming knew about these disciples. Although these were all elite disciples, But in the past, Kuiyang did not care about them, Many difficult tasks in the Great Exquisite Palace were assigned to them to complete. However, what they received was only a standard reward. Sunflower Anode seldom interfered. Although these elites didn’t say anything, they still felt a little lumpy in their hearts. Everyone was like this. Other people didn’t care about them, and they wouldn’t linger for others.
“Disciple understands.”
Yuan Zhu nodded.
“Then, how are the people you scanned dressed?”
“They are all dressed differently. There is no uniformity in their attire.”
“That’s most likely not one of our people. Please be careful.”
Wei Ming shouted.
Everyone nodded and immediately hid.
Soon, several figures appeared in the distance. They were all rogue cultivators…
