After they successfully sneaked into this passage, there were no guards around for the time being. It was not that there was not enough strictness here, but that there was no need for such strictness. There is only one entrance to the entire area, so there are very few guarded places, mainly in key areas, and the rest of the area does not need to be guarded strictly.
Not strictly guarding does not mean that there is no guarding. After they sneaked for a certain distance, five guards soon came over here.
Ye Qingxuan quickly stretched out her hand to signal Yi Tianyun to stop, and then quickly squatted down, fusing with the wall in the blink of an eye, regardless of each other. Unless you use a weapon to cut over, you will never find Ye Qingxuan hiding here.
Yi Tianyun also squatted down and stuck it on the wall, thus completely disappearing from sight. This concealed rune can't be concealed at will when it is pasted, it is easier to see through it when walking normally, unless the opponent's cultivation base is really too low, otherwise it will still be seen.
But once they squatted down and stood still, as long as they weren't very powerful in the Pill Refining Stage, they would not be able to discover their existence.
The five guards passing by are not low-level, the leader is at the level of the pill stage, and the rest are at the level of the pill stage. There are basically no guards with cultivation bases within the condensed pill stage. This place is a strong place, so it is impossible to be selected if the cultivation base is too low.
The guard glanced around and found nothing unusual, so he continued to patrol without stopping at all.
Obviously, they didn't find their existence, so they continued to leave here.
After they walked away, Ye Qingxuan got up and quickly walked forward with Yi Tianyun. After seven bends and turns, they entered another area where they could already see thick cages, all made of extremely hard materials, it was very difficult to break open.
There are rows of rooms here, and there are many cultivators locked in them, with their hands and feet locked in chains. These are not ordinary shackles, and they can limit their strength. Even if the cultivation level is not low, under this shackle, their strength drops drastically, and there is basically no resistance at all.
"You dogs of the Nether Empire, let us out quickly!"
"Release us, your Nether Empire will be destroyed sooner or later!"
"Please let me out, I am willing to do everything for you..."
Some of the cultivators in the cage would rather die than surrender, and some would keep begging for mercy, which looked quite miserable.
"Be quiet, do you want to die!" The guard stepped on the cage angrily, making a "Dangdang" sound, resounding through the area.
"Let us out, you running dogs of the Nether Empire!" One of the cultivators rushed up and roared on the solid cage: "You must not die, even if you die, you will never live beyond life!"
"Damn, then I will let you die first!"
Without hesitation, the guard stabbed the spear in his hand fiercely, piercing the cultivator who rushed up, and then quickly withdrew it back. The cultivator's eyes widened, and then he lay on the ground and pulled it out, seemingly not far away from death.
"Whoever complains, tell me, I promise that you will be speechless for the rest of your life!" The guard glared at them, not caring about their life or death at all.
Suddenly, many people's voices weakened, and they didn't dare to continue resisting.
"I, I am willing to join the Nether Empire, willing to serve..." one of the cultivators of the Pill Condensation Stage walked over tremblingly and said.
"Yes, then you can come out and take this pill!" The guard opened the cage and dragged him out, and handed him a pill in a cold voice.
"I eat, I eat..." The condensing stage cultivator quickly took it. After just eating, he convulsed and screamed. There were several dark veins on his body, which seemed to be poisoned. .
After a while, the guard took out another pill and stuffed it into his mouth. Soon this cultivator was relieved, his eyes were full of fear.
"This is a detoxification pill for you temporarily. If you are not obedient, you will always suffer from the phages of ten thousand insects! After a period of time, you have to take it, otherwise there is only a dead end! Don't expect to find a real detoxification pill, This detoxification pill is only worthy of our Nether Empire!" The guard lifted him up, and threw it to one of his subordinates. "Take him down. It seems that he has good power, so let him go to the mine to work. Of course, if any alchemist is really worthy, then I think he is not far from death!"
Immediately the guard looked at the pile of cultivators inside and said, "Are you still willing to surrender? Don't worry, no one will save you in this life. If you don't obey our orders, then you have to die here!"
"I, I am willing too!" One of the cultivators of the condensed pill stage quickly walked over and said tremblingly: "I, I can forge weapons, can I be treated better?"
"Of course there is no problem. I will send you to forge weapons. The treatment is definitely better than that of mining." After finishing speaking, the guard handed him a poison pill and motioned him to take it.
The forger hesitated, and took the poison pill, and then began to scream in pain, no different from the previous one. After feeling the pain, the guards gave him the detoxification pills to temporarily alleviate the invasion of toxins. They first made these prisoners feel pain, and then they knew how severe the poisonous attack was, so that they wouldn't resist.
"Take him to the refining room, and let him refining it!" The guard waved his hand and motioned to his men to take someone down.
"Who else wants to join? If you want to join, take this poison pill. If you don't take it, you can't leave!" The guard stared at them coldly.
The scene here was seen by Yi Tianyun who was hiding nearby. It was basically the cultivator who had been arrested by threats to join the Nether Empire. These cultivators are not low in cultivation, they are all at the level of the pill condensing stage, and the ones caught have some abilities.
Yi Tianyun knew by and large that the Netherworld Empire wanted to capture a lot of strange magicians to work for him, and then use this poison pill to restrict them severely. This kind of domineering behavior is much faster than slowly cultivating some disciples, and it takes effect immediately, and there is no way to resist.
To resist is to die, anyway, to kill, without wasting any resources. This Nether Empire is really overbearing, as long as they don't obey his orders, they will all die!
"The Nether Empire should be destroyed!" Ye Qingxuan's eyes were extremely cold.
"Yes! Now I have a good way to let us escape from here quickly." Yi Tianyun smiled lightly.
"What way?" Ye Qingxuan asked.
"It's very simple, let everyone go and make trouble in this ghost prison!" Yi Tianyun's eyes flickered.
