Demonic Souls Appear, a Cruel Massacre

At the eastern edge of the secret realm, several hundred disciples from various sects had gathered around the ruins of a massive palace.

They had all gathered here to discuss the matter.

Strangely, people had gone in, but not a single one had come back out.

The ruins were deathly silent, without the faintest sound coming from within, sending chills down everyone's spine.

No one dared make a rash move.

"Our sect's Eldest Senior Brother took people inside, but there's still been no news."

"Even the Communication Tokens have stopped working," a man said anxiously.

"Our Senior Brothers too. They told us to wait outside and support them, but now we can't contact them either."

"Why don't we go in and take a look...?"

He cautiously asked the people beside him. There was clearly something strange about this place; he absolutely did not dare enter alone.

"If you want to go, go yourself."

"If anything happens, we'll come meet you at your grave."

"Look over there. It seems the Holy Land people have arrived."

When everyone saw the Holy Land disciples, it was as though they had found their backbone. To charge into a dragon's pool and tiger's den like this, they still needed the Holy Lands to take the lead.

When Shi Hao and the others arrived, they found a great many people gathered outside.

"Strange. Why aren't they going in? What are they waiting here for?"

"They were each more frantic than monkeys on the way here, but when it came time to do it for real, they went soft?"

"Who knows? Let's find someone and ask nicely."

With that, Wang Teng grabbed the nearest man.

The two had a friendly exchange. After Wang Teng humbly sought his advice like a virtuous man lowering himself to recruit talent, the man was so frightened he pissed himself. Wiping at his pants as he spoke at length, he finally told them what had happened.

"People go in, but no one ever comes back out?"

"Brother Wang, this place is terribly dangerous!"

Shi Hao said with a slight frown.

"Hehe, I, Wang Teng, love breaking into places this exciting."

At that moment, Jie Mengxin of Mist Moon Holy Land and Mu Fan of Azure Sky Holy Land also arrived with their people.

"Wonderful, people from all three great Holy Lands are here!"

"Now, even if it's a dragon's pool and tiger's den, we have to venture in."

They had no intention of competing for the Saint's inheritance anymore. Even if there truly was one, it would not be their turn.

Their own Senior Brothers and fellow disciples were still inside. They had to go in and see what was going on.

It would be good enough just to satisfy their curiosity. What if they could pick up a few scraps?

"Miss Jie and Brother Mu are here too?"

"Perfect. Let's go in together and see what this so-called Saint's inheritance is all about."

Mu Fan walked closer and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, we meet again. How were your gains?"

"Not much, not much. I only filled ten Space Rings. Really, not much!"

"I have to thank Miss Jie and Brother Mu for letting me have it."

Wang Teng was not content with killing people; he had to stab them in the heart too.

"Haha, then that really is... not much... ah!"

Mu Fan forced out a sliver of a smile.

In truth, he was nearly grinding his back teeth to pieces. Damn it, those were originally all mine!

"Hmph, enough nonsense!"

"Let's go in and take a look."

And so, disciples from every sect followed the people of the three great Holy Lands inside.

After they had walked a short distance, a thick stench of blood drifted over.

Lin Bai and Hua Qingyu both placed their hands on their Personal Swords, while Shi Hao, Wang Teng, and the others vigilantly watched the path ahead.

"Junior Brothers, come quickly! There really is a Saint's inheritance up ahead."

"Junior Brothers, hurry over! There are too many resources ahead for us to carry. Come help quickly."

"Junior Sisters, why did you come so late? Come to Senior Sister. There are quite a few spirit stones up ahead."

A large group of people suddenly came from ahead, all calling out to their own Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters.

"That's my Senior Brother! Wonderful, we're coming, Senior Brother!"

"My Senior Brother is there too!"

"Senior Brother, don't panic! We're coming to help!"

Some disciples from the various sects saw their own Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters and ran toward them.

Hearing their own Senior Brothers mention resources and inheritances ahead, they were all fired up as if injected with chicken blood.

"Qingyu, these people are devils. Get back quickly!"

Through her divine sense, Mu Shuixian had seen that everyone ahead was covered in Demonic Qi.

As a Supreme Expert of the Great Emperor Realm, she had naturally dealt with the Devil Race before. There was no mistaking this aura.

Hua Qingyu was greatly alarmed. She hurriedly pulled her Senior Brothers back.

At the same time, she shouted, "Don't go over there! They're devils!"

However, it was already too late.

"Senior Brother, what are you doing?!"

"Senior Sister, no!"

The people who had run over saw their Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters smile coldly before beginning to slaughter them.

Miserable screams rang throughout the entire ruin.

"Devils!"

"Junior Sister, you mean...?!"

They were horrified. How could there be devils within the secret realm?!

At the sight of the bloody scene, everyone behind immediately fled backward.

"Don't ask, run!"

Shi Hao and the others fled back with the crowd. Since they had prepared in advance, they were among the ones running closest to the front.

Just as they were about to reach the exit, a large number of Demonic Beasts suddenly rushed out from ahead.

"Hehehe! My Blood Food."

"Where do you think you're running to?"

The leading Demonic Beast, Gui Sha, laughed eerily. At his command, the Demonic Beasts began slaughtering everyone indiscriminately.

The Demonic Beasts from behind also caught up.

An ambush ahead, pursuers behind—there was no way back!

"Fight them!"

Seeing that escape was impossible, the disciples of the various sects drew their weapons and fought the Demonic Beasts before them.

"Ah! Help!"

"Don't kill me!"

Their screams shook the heavens!

As the battle continued, they discovered that these Demonic Beasts were not only highly cultivated, but also fearless of death!

Most terrifying of all, dead disciples would be possessed by Demonic Beasts, then rise again to slaughter everyone.

The situation became completely one-sided.

"Hahaha, Brother Shi, our dream can come true! Today, I'm going to kill to my heart's content!"

"Eastern Profound Holy Land disciples, heed my command! Follow this Saint Child and slay the devils!"

"Kill!"

"Hahaha! Then come on. How about we compete to see who kills more Demonic Beasts?"

Shi Hao laughed as he smashed the Demonic Beast before him to death with a punch.

"Who's afraid of who? Come on!"

"One, two, three!"

As he spoke, Wang Teng instantly killed three Demonic Beasts.

"Junior Brother, Junior Sister, be careful."

After warning Lin Bai and Hua Qingyu, Shi Hao charged into the horde of Demonic Beasts at full force.

"Supreme Reincarnation Method!"

"Supreme Reincarnation Fist!"

Shi Hao was like a war god descended. With every punch he threw, swathes of Demonic Beasts died.

Seeing how fierce they were, everyone moved closer to the Holy Land group.

The slaughter continued. At the sight of blood, these Demonic Beasts grew ever more frenzied!
