613: Clues to the fifth direct disciple!
Their eyes were filled with despair... When the tens of thousands of Cultivators finally reacted, the pent-up panic and anger finally erupted.
“No, no, no!!! The Cycle Reincarnation Holy Domain has gone too far!!! They teleported us to this wretched place! What are they trying to do?!”
A burly man with a fierce face raised his arms and shouted loudly.
“No!! We don't want to stay in a place like this; it's worse than the Profound Yin Realm!! Let me go back! I want to return to the Profound Yin Realm!”
“Open the teleportation array! We want to go back! Hurry up and let us return!”
The crowd was instantly ignited; countless Cultivators began to clamor, their voices shaking the heavens. Some even started frantically attacking the surrounding Void Realm, trying to find a way back.
Just then.
In mid-air, the space tore open into cracks without warning.
A troop of figures clad in black armor silently appeared. They floated in the air like deities, coldly looking down upon the chaotic crowd below with the gaze one reserves for a swarm of ants.
The black-armored general leading them curved his lips into a cruel smile.
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body!
Lu Hao glanced over.
A Supreme, an Eight-Source Supreme. What a grand gesture indeed. Did they send such a powerful Cultivator to guard every location?
Most importantly, this Eight-Source Supreme was likely not the strongest one here; there must be an Immortal existence hidden in the dark.
An Eight-Source Supreme was nothing in front of Lu Hao, but to the tens of thousands of Cultivators present, he was virtually indistinguishable from a true Immortal, possessing the power to control their life and death!
The black-armored general didn't even make any unnecessary movements; he merely swept his gaze across the crowd below.
A powerful pressure swept over the tens of thousands of Cultivators and solidified on certain individuals.
Those who had been shouting the loudest and causing the most trouble, including the burly man with the fierce face who had first incited the crowd, instantly stiffened!
Immediately afterward, they let out piercing screams, and their bodies unexpectedly burst into clouds of blood mist with a bang!
Their Divine Souls were completely extinguished!
The scene, which had been deafeningly noisy moments before, came to an abrupt halt.
The tens of thousands of Cultivators were struck dumb with fear!
The shock brought by death was far more direct than any threat.
Faced with the life-or-death threat posed by such a powerful expert, this group of Cultivators was ultimately terrified.
Especially those Cultivators who had just been clamoring to return but hadn't acted too rashly now dared not even raise their heads after seeing the fate of the others.
They were afraid that any subtle movement would draw the attention of the black-armored general and cause them to suffer the same fate.
At this moment, completely unlike the other Cultivators, a faint smile actually appeared on Lu Hao’s face.
He had unexpectedly profited from misfortune, finding a clue about his fifth Personal Disciple right here!
Just now, the System had alerted Lu Hao that it had detected the aura of his fifth Personal Disciple, and as long as the two made contact, the System's mission would be triggered!
Lu Hao had originally intended to leave immediately, but after receiving the System's notification, he dismissed that idea.
Since that was the case, he would wait until he had accepted this Disciple before leaving.
Lu Hao had been prepared to roam the Netherworld, yet he never expected to get a clue directly on his first time using a teleportation array. It truly came without any effort... Perhaps this was also a manifestation of his inherent Luck...
Looking at the tens of thousands of Cultivators below, the black-armored general slowly curled his lips into a smile.
He no longer knew how many batches of Cultivators had been sent here, but every time, as long as he killed a batch of troublemakers, the subsequent matters became very simple.
“It seems, everyone, that you have already understood your current predicament.”
The black-armored general’s indifferent voice rang out. Although not loud, it clearly entered everyone’s ears, carrying a sense of lofty judgment.
“Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Hei Lin. In the future, when you see me, you may call me Lord Hei Lin. I will first take a friendly stance and remind you of one thing...”
“Do not ever fantasize about escaping this place. Believe me, there is absolutely no possibility of you leaving this place using your own abilities. If you want to survive, you must obey.”
“I can promise you that as long as you stay here for one thousand years, I will grant you freedom!”
One thousand years!
Hearing Hei Lin’s words, the crowd below inevitably let out desperate gasps and cries of alarm.
This was practically equivalent to sentencing them to death!
In a place like this, where the concentration of filth was so high, they had felt extreme discomfort the moment they arrived. How could they possibly endure one thousand years here?!
One person in the crowd finally couldn't hold back and shouted:
“One thousand years! You want me to stay in this wretched place for one thousand years?! No! I refuse!!!”
Hearing this, Hei Lin’s expression became slightly irritated.
He had thought his previous thunderous strike would be enough to suppress the Cultivators below, yet he didn't expect there was still someone unafraid of death who dared to refute his words?
His figure flashed, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the young Cultivator who had spoken. One hand fiercely grabbed the youth's skull, and then he applied slight pressure!
Accompanied by the cracking sound of bones shattering and the youth's heart-wrenching screams... with a bang, the young Cultivator's head abruptly exploded, causing the surrounding people to tremble in fear.
Too powerful... This was simply a level of cultivation they couldn't contend with...
Hidden within the crowd, Lu Hao watched General Hei Lin with a calm gaze.
His Divine Thought had silently spread out, thoroughly investigating everything in the vicinity.
This place was a land of death!
There were no Cultivators surviving nearby!
Demonic Thought spoke via voice transmission beside Lu Hao:
“Master, should we kill him! This fellow actually dared to scheme against Master! He truly deserves death!”
Lu Hao shook his head and said indifferently:
“Don't act rashly yet. The other party is from the Cycle Reincarnation Holy Domain. Killing him abruptly might provoke the Cycle Reincarnation Holy Domain's displeasure. Furthermore, I think this place is quite good. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be staying here for a while.”
Hearing Lu Hao’s words, Demonic Thought was somewhat confused... This place was quite good? How was it good... What were they supposed to do here?
However, since Lu Hao had given the order, he wouldn't ask any further questions.
“Oh, alright, Master. Wherever Master goes, I will follow.”
As their conversation ended, Hei Lin had already returned to mid-air and continued speaking:
“Henceforth, I do not wish for anyone to speak words of this nature again. Violators will die!”
This time, the crowd below was completely silent, staring blankly at their surroundings.
