The kidnapped monks watched this scene with their eyes wide open, looking at it all in disbelief.
They wanted to say something to condemn this behavior, but the intense life-and-death crisis made them shut their mouths and unable to utter a single word.
"If you continue to waste time by talking nonsense, you won't have to go on the rest of the way."
The leading Jindan cultivator killed those cultivators casually and took their corpses.
He didn't even look back, and his tone was calm and uneventful, as if he had just crushed a few disobedient ants.
The captured monks finally stopped making trouble, realizing that this place was far away from the monks' city and that the city's laws had no effect on this place, so they quickened their pace and became as quiet as chickens.
After walking like this for a day, they arrived at a plain that looked very desolate.
Just when the cultivators were puzzled, several Jindan cultivators took action together and opened the barrier in a corner of the plain, revealing a hidden entrance to the underground palace.
The leading Jindan cultivator stepped in first. Although the others didn't know what was waiting for them underground, they had no choice but to follow him down.
After Xu Chunniang stepped into the underground palace, she found that it was much larger than she had imagined, and there were more Jindan monks in black robes in the underground palace, who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.
After the two groups of monks met, they discussed for a while and divided all the foundation-building monks into nine groups according to the plan, and led them onto different paths.
"True and false, real and fake, if the evil-eyed beast wakes up unexpectedly, it will just think we are performing a sacrificial ritual."
"But since there haven't been so many sacrifices in the past, will it become suspicious?"
"Maybe, so we'd better leave here completely before it wakes up."
The others were somewhat dissatisfied with this answer, but this was an opportunity they had been waiting for for many years and they were determined not to give it up easily.
If they missed this opportunity, perhaps they would never see the evil-eye beast fall asleep again until their lifespans expired.
Xu Chunniang and the other three followed the old man in black robe and entered the intricate underground palace.
Except for two Jindan cultivators wearing black robes, the other twelve people in the group are foundation-building cultivators.
The two black-robed monks were very familiar with the underground palace, as if they had been there many times.
As one continues to go deeper into the underground palace, a feeling of oppression that penetrates deep into the soul arises spontaneously, as if one has stepped into the realm of some powerful being, making one feel uneasy.
Several kidnapped monks had looks of doubt and surprise on their faces, and suppressed fear in their voices.
"Where are you taking us? This place... couldn't it be where that thing is?"
"What on earth do you want to do? Are you going to use us as sacrifices?"
They had been in the city for a long time, so they naturally knew that there were high-level monks who had been offering sacrifices to the evil-eye beast.
But those sacrifices are often people who have violated the rules.
People like them who abide by the rules will never be caught as sacrifices.
"Haha, since you don't want to be a sacrifice, then just be obedient."
The old man in black robe gave those people a meaningful look and said, "Whether you can survive or not depends on your luck."
Several people's faces turned pale, remembering that the leading Jindan cultivator had killed people and then specially collected the bodies of those people.
At that time they thought the other party was doing something unnecessary, but now they understand that those were sacrifices.
The sacrifices offered to the evil-eyed beast are not decided by life or death.
In other words, if they died, they would definitely become sacrifices.
On the contrary, if you can survive, you can win a chance of survival.
After understanding this, they finally became more serious. Who would want to die when they can live
Seeing that the few people were completely obedient, the old man in black robe withdrew his gaze and continued to walk in front to lead the way.
The group continued to go deeper and deeper in the narrow underground passage until they entered a spacious stone chamber, where the view in front of them suddenly opened up.
After entering the stone chamber, the feeling of oppression became stronger. Everyone knew that this place was one step closer to the body of the evil-eyed beast.
They unconsciously slowed down their movements, fearing to alarm it. Even the two Jindan cultivators did not dare to be careless.
After walking for a distance in the stone chamber, a heavy stone door blocked the way forward.
The old man in black robe took out a sacrifice from his storage ring, cut his finger without changing his expression, and drew talismans on the sacrifice with blood.
As the last stroke was made, the offering covered with blood symbols suddenly caught fire without wind.
In just a few breaths, the offering was burned completely, not even a trace of ash was left.
The stone door in front of him slowly opened as if it had been inspired by something.
The old man in black robe looked a little relieved and took the lead to step in.
Behind the stone gate is a wider space with wisps of black fog floating around from time to time.
"These are the God Devouring Mists. They love to devour the divine consciousness and the primordial spirit. Do not touch them with your divine consciousness."
After the old man in black robe finished his instructions, he took out a gourd and skillfully collected all the black mist.
Xu Chunniang and the other three exchanged glances. This black fog looked exactly the same as the black fog outside the Rift Wind Valley.
The reason why the God-Devouring Mist exists in the Riftwind Valley is because there are many spatial cracks deep in the Riftwind Valley.
The appearance of the God-Eating Mist here, does it mean that there are also space cracks inside
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but become much more cautious.
Others also recognized that the God-Devouring Mist was the black fog in the Riftwind Valley, but they did not know that the God-Devouring Mist was a product of the Heaven Beyond Heaven, so after the initial accident, they did not take it too seriously.
"After you step into this place, monsters will gradually appear. This place is too close to the body of the evil-eyed beast. In order to avoid attracting its attention due to the overpowering force, the two of us will not take action. You can only rely on yourselves."
As soon as the old man in black robe finished speaking, several monsters hidden in the black fog roared and rushed towards the crowd.
Because of the reminder from the old man in black robe, and the fact that the cultivation levels of several monsters were not high, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators were quickly killed.
"Second level of foundation building? These monsters are only this good."
The cultivator who was speaking was at the third level of foundation building, which was at the bottom of the group. He faced a monster at the second level of foundation building, and after easily defeating it, he became a little disapproving.
A monster of this singing level is not worth making a fuss about.
However, he soon paid the price for his underestimation of the enemy. A demon beast in the late foundation building stage appeared silently beside him and easily tore off half of his body.
This cultivator in the late foundation-building stage killed two cultivators in a row, but was eventually beheaded by Kong Huan's black sword.
The old man in black robe turned his head, glanced at the two dead monks, and shook his head in disgust.
“What a pity.”
He flicked his fingers slightly, and a few sparks flew out from his fingertips and landed on the broken bodies of the two men.
He died in such a way that his body was incomplete, not even qualified to be a sacrifice.
