After they successfully sneaked into this passage, there were no guards around for the time being. It wasn't that the place was not strict enough, but that there was no need to be so strict here. There is only one entrance to the entire area, so there are very few places to guard, mainly to guard the key areas, and the rest of the areas do not need to be strictly guarded.
Not strict, does not mean there is no guard. After they sneaked for a distance, five guards soon walked towards them.
Ye Qingxuan quickly stretched out his hand to signal Yi Tianyun to stop, then quickly squatted down, and merged with the wall in the blink of an eye, regardless of each other. Unless you cut it with a weapon, you will never find Ye Qingxuan hiding here.
Yi Tianyun also squatted down and stuck it to the wall, so he completely disappeared from sight. This hidden rune can be hidden at will without sticking it on. It is easier to see through it when you walk around normally. Unless the opponent's cultivation base is really too low, it will still be seen.
However, once they squat down and stand still, as long as they are not very strong in the transformation stage, they will not be able to discover their existence.
The five guards who passed by were not low in cultivation. The leader was at the level of the spirit pill stage, and the rest were at the level of the condensed pill stage. There are basically no guards who have cultivated within the condensing stage here. This is an important place, so if the cultivation is too low, it is impossible to be selected.
The guard glanced around and found nothing out of the ordinary, so he continued to patrol and didn't stop at all.
Obviously they didn't find their existence, so they continued to leave here.
After they were far away, Ye Qingxuan got up and quickly walked forward with Yi Tianyun. After the twists and turns, they entered another area, where they could already see a thick cage, which was made of extremely hard materials, and it was very difficult to break open.
There are rows and rows of rooms in which many practitioners are imprisoned, and their hands and feet are chained with shackles. These are not ordinary shackles, and they can limit their strength. Even if their cultivation is not low, under these shackles, their strength is greatly reduced, and there is basically no resistance at all.
"You dogs of the Nether Empire, hurry up and let us out!"
"Let us go, your Nether Empire will be destroyed one day sooner or later!"
"Please let me out, I'm willing to do everything for you..."
The practitioners who were locked in the cage, some would rather die than yield, and some who kept begging for mercy, looked quite miserable.
"Be quiet for me, do you want to die!" The guard angrily stepped on the cage and made a "dangdang" sound that resounded throughout the area.
"Let us go out, you lackeys of the Netherworld Empire!" One of the cultivators rushed up and roared while lying on the solid cage: "You must not die, even if you die, you will never be reborn!"
"Damn, then I'll let you die first!"
The guard stabbed the spear in his hand without hesitation, pierced through the practitioner who rushed up, and quickly pulled it back. The cultivator's eyes widened, and then he fell on the ground and pulled out endlessly. It seemed that he was not far from death.
"Whoever has complaints, tell me them all, and I promise that you will be speechless for the rest of your life!" The guard glared at them, not caring about their lives at all.
All of a sudden, the voices of many people weakened, and they dared not continue to resist. The other party simply killed if they wanted to, and showed no mercy.
"I, I am willing to join the Netherworld Empire, willing to serve..." One of the cultivators in the condensing stage came over and said tremblingly.
"Okay, then you can come out and eat 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 pill condensing stage cultivator quickly swallowed it. Who would have thought that just after eating it, his whole body twitched and screamed, and 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 the cultivator was relieved, and his eyes were full of fear.
"This is a detoxification pill for you temporarily. If you don't obey, you will be suffering from these ten thousand insects! Every once in a while, you must take it, otherwise you will only have a dead end! Don't expect to find the real detoxification pill, This antidote is only matched by our Netherworld Empire!" The guard lifted him up and handed it to a subordinate, "Take him down to me, it seems that his strength is good, so let him go to work in the mine. Of course, if an alchemist is really worthy, then I think he is not far from death!"
Immediately, the guard looked coldly at the bunch 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 also willing!" One of the cultivators at the condensing stage quickly came 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, and the treatment is definitely better than that of mining." After speaking, the guard handed him a poison pill and motioned him to take it.
The blacksmith hesitated for a while, but took the poison pill, and then began to scream in pain, no different from the previous one. After feeling the pain, the guard gave him the detoxification pill to temporarily relieve the invasion of the toxin. They first made these prisoners feel the pain before they knew how severe the toxic attack was, so that they would not resist.
"You take him to the refining room, and let him refine the weapons!" The guard waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to take people down.
"Who else wants to join, take this poison pill if you want to join, and you can't leave without taking it!" The guard stared at them and said coldly.
The scene here was seen by Yi Tianyun, who was hiding on the side. This was simply forcing the captured practitioners to join the Netherworld Empire. These cultivators are not low in cultivation, and they are all at the level of condensing pills, and they have some skills when they are caught.
Yi Tianyun generally knew that the Netherworld Empire just wanted to capture a lot of strange talents to work for him, and then use this poisonous pill to restrict them severely. This kind of domineering behavior is much faster than slowly cultivating some disciples, and it works immediately, and it is impossible to resist.
Resistance is death. Anyway, if you kill it, you don't waste your own resources. This Netherworld Empire is really domineering, as long as anyone who doesn't obey his orders will 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 out and make a fuss about this ghost prison!" Yi Tianyun's eyes flickered.
