Soul refining mining area.
Rows of figures in ragged clothes, like prisoners, shuttled between the dark mines that were densely packed like honeycombs. When they moved a little slowly, they would be mercilessly beaten with iron whips from the hands of nearby guards.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Every time the iron whip was struck, there would be a harsh sound of flesh being ripped open, followed by painful moans one after another, and a burst of wild laughter.
These various sounds are mixed together and fill the air all the time, rendering this mining area like a cruel purgatory.
Things like this happen almost every day, and no one will sympathize with it, because those prisoners-like guys are all abandoners of the lower world.
In the lower world, the Abandoners may have a high status, enough for every sect to enshrine them like antiques, but in this soul-refining mining area of the immortal world, their situation is no different from the lowest prisoner.
Because as far as the immortal world is concerned, those who abandoned heaven have desecrated the laws of the immortal world and must suffer immortal punishment!
…
At this time, in front of a dilapidated and dirty stone house in the soul refining mining area.
"You... actually sold Xiao Yu!"
A skinny and hunched old man was furious, his hoarse voice seemed to be squeezed out of his withered chest, revealing an incomparable anger and pain.
And his weather-beaten black cheeks were even more twisted and hideous, his eyes were bloodshot, and his gray and disheveled beard and hair were trembling, as if he was in a state of madness.
In front of him, there were five or six guards in black, all standing with their arms folded, looking at the angry skinny old man with a sneer and disdain, as if they were overlooking a ridiculous ant.
"Of course I have to sell it. The little girl is still young and can still be sold for a high price. When she gets older, she will lose her unique flavor of a girl."
A guard in black stroked his chin and laughed strangely, with a faint luster in his eyes, "It's just a pity that in order to get a high price, we didn't get to taste that little girl."
As soon as these words came out, the other guards all laughed strangely, their fierce faces full of jest.
"You... are simply worse than animals!" Hearing this, the old man became even more angry, trembling with anger, roared loudly, and rushed forward to fight the opponent desperately.
Snapped!
The leading guard immediately took action, smashing an iron whip through the air, causing the old man's skinny figure to fly backwards like cotton wool, and hit a rock wall. He spit out blood with a pop, and his gray hair became more and more disheveled. .
"Bah! It's been so many years, haven't you realized your situation yet? Remember! This is not the lower world where you can dominate, but the fairy world! And you are just a prisoner now!"
The leading guard took a sip of thick phlegm, his expression becoming more and more disdainful.
The old man was lying on the ground, his body trembling with anger, and his hoarse voice was full of incomparable anger, "I, Liu Jianheng, have served ten years in prison. I could have left, but you ignored the laws of the fairy court and detained me for a long time. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God?" !”
"God's punishment?"
When the guards heard this, they all laughed as if they had heard a ridiculous joke.
"You, a person who abandons heaven, are you worthy of talking to us about heaven's punishment?"
"You should know why we have detained you until now. If you agree to Lord Huanglong's conditions and tell everything you know, we will let you go now. Otherwise, we will not sell you next time. Being an adopted daughter is so simple..."
"How's it going? Have you thought about it carefully?"
A group of guards spoke up and sneered at the old man who was seriously injured on the ground, standing high above him, like staring at a dying bug.
"wishful thinking!"
The old man raised his head with difficulty, his skinny cheeks stained with blood, and his voice sounded more like it was squeezed out from between his teeth, word by word, extremely decisive.
"Old guy, you're so tough-talking. You're really going to have to drink wine as a fine if you don't eat the toast! Beat me, hard!"
The head guard's expression darkened, and he waved his hand and gave instructions.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
The next moment, the sound of dense iron whips piercing the air rang out, all hitting the old man. He was rolling all over the ground, unable to escape the shadow of the heavy whips. His ragged clothes were torn, revealing streaks of bloody flesh. Whip marks.
When some prisoners nearby saw this scene, they all shivered and looked sympathetic.
In their memories, this Heaven-abandoning man named Liu Madman had suffered such severe beatings almost every day since he was captured. It has been countless years, but he is still alive today, just like a human being. Miraculously.
Of course, no one wants this kind of miracle, because it is too painful. Anyone else would have been unable to bear it and would have chosen to commit suicide.
"You...you...all will not die well!!"
Amid the sound of crackling whip shadows piercing the air, Crazy Liu's unwilling and angry roar could be heard.
"Haha, it's ridiculous. In this soul refining mining area, we will only live longer and longer, and you... If you keep being so stubborn, you won't have much time to live."
Those guards were laughing wildly and unscrupulously. In this soul refining mining area, they didn't have to hide anything at all, because they were the masters here. If the sky fell, Master Huanglong would be there to carry it. Who could do anything to them
Seeing this, the old man seemed to fall into silence, gritting his teeth and not saying a word despite being struck by thousands of whip shadows. Only a look of despair and death surged in his bloodshot eyes.
In his mind, scenes in the human world flashed in a trance, including the brothers of the Jiuhua Sword Sect, the disciples he accepted from Xihua Peak, and the one he brought back to the Jiuhua Sword Sect from the ancient battlefield. young people…
"Just die, even if I know the whereabouts of the Sword of Dao E, why would I tell you idiots? It just involves that girl Xiao Yu... I am not willing to accept it..."
Madman Liu felt a deep sense of misery in his heart, and the despair in his eyes became more intense. Immediately, he shouted loudly, and his body covered in blood struggled to stand up, and he slapped himself with a palm. Slap the head off!
He actually wanted to commit suicide!
Perhaps, he has had enough, is tired, and is desperate...
But at this moment, suddenly—
An incomparable terrifying pressure suddenly shrouded down like a storm, covering the sky and the sun, making the sun and moon dim. The terrifying momentum caused the void of heaven and earth to emit a mournful sound that was about to shatter and collapse.
At this moment, it seemed as if the sky was about to collapse, the earth was about to sink, and everything was in a state of trembling!
At this moment, the guards who were laughing wildly stiffened, their eyes widened, their expressions full of shock and panic, and the iron whips they swung in their hands dropped like dead snakes.
At this moment, the entire soul refining mining area fell into a kind of great terror, as if the end was coming. Both the fierce guards and the miserable prisoners were trembling, and a bone-chilling chill surged through their bodies, as if falling into an ice cave. .
At this moment, Madman Liu, who was covered in scars and soaked in blood and was about to commit suicide, felt a warm current flowing through his body, repairing his damaged body and soothing his desperate and helpless soul...
In a daze, he saw a tall figure appearing in front of him. The handsome face, the spine as straight as a gun, and the indifferent temperament were all so familiar to him.
Immediately, he couldn't help laughing at himself, how could this be that little guy? I'm hallucinating again...
"Master!"
A deep voice rang in his ears, causing Madman Liu to freeze up. As if struck by lightning, his eyes suddenly opened and he stared blankly in front of him.
Yes, that familiar figure is right in front of you, it is not illusory!
"Xi'er! It's really you little guy..."
Madman Liu's voice was hoarse, because he was too seriously injured, making it difficult for him to speak every word, but on his dry and blood-stained cheeks, there was a smile of great relief and joy.
The person in front of him was none other than Chen Xi.
Looking at the rickety and skinny old man in front of me, covered in blood and scars, looking at his ragged and dirty clothes, gray and disheveled hair, and his breath that was almost exhausted...
Chen Xi suddenly felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
That kind of pain, mixed with annoyance, regret, guilt, anger... was like a raging torrent of hot molten lava, flooding every inch of Chen Xi's skin and about to burn him!
"ah!"
At this moment, Chen Xi could no longer hold back, his long black hair flew up, and he suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared loudly. The sound was like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the nine heavens and ten earth, filled with an indescribable sorrow and indignation, making the heaven and earth change color!
Boom!
The terrifying sound wave turned into an invisible storm, and spread out suddenly with Chen Xi as the center. Wherever it passed, rocks crumbled, mountains collapsed, and the earth cracked. There was almost nothing that could withstand this terrifying sound.
Even the guards and prisoners in the soul refining mine area felt as if they had been hit hard at this moment, their energy and blood boiled, their orifices were bleeding, and they fell to the ground screaming miserably.
In the field, only Madman Liu and Xuanyuan Yun and Qi Xiaoyu standing on one side were not harmed in any way.
However, when they saw Chen Xi crying out with such grief and anger, both Xuanyuan Yun and Qi Xiaoyu were horrified, and their hearts were shocked in an unspeakable way.
Especially for Xuanyuan Yun, it was the first time that he saw Chen Xi so out of control and so angry. This also made him deeply understand how important Crazy Liu is in Chen Xi's heart!
After a while.
The terrifying sound wave surging between the heaven and the earth gradually disappeared, and everything returned to calm. However, the entire soul refining mining area was in a mess, with shocking cracks and wounds everywhere, as if it had been severely ravaged by a big hand.
Chen Xi's expression had become indifferent, except for those eyes, which were so cold and cold, as if they no longer had any emotion at all.
"Master, it was you who led me from the ancient battlefield to the Xuantuan Realm. Today, let me lead you out of this dirty place."
Chen Xi did not look at Crazy Liu because he was worried that he would lose control again. His eyes fell on the black-clothed guards in front of him, calm and indifferent.
