Hidden behind the boulder, Shen Luo watched the scene before him, his brows drawing into a deep frown.
"You Demon Race beasts! May you die wretched deaths..." a Fangcun Mountain disciple cursed loudly.
"Let me go! Let me go! I'm an elder of Lingbo City! We're on the same side! How can you treat me like this?" a Lingbo City elder shouted furiously.
"Release us, you bastards! Our Stone Gate Sect's parent sect has close ties to the Great Tang Government Office! If you dare kill us, aren't you afraid they'll hold you accountable?" a tall, thin young man yelled.
Like the many other small and midsize sects, they had been lured here by Spider Cave's promises of profit. Seeing that even Lingbo City was involved, they had followed along, hoping to loot a burning house and reap some benefits. They had never imagined they would end up in this predicament.
But no matter how they cursed or shouted, it was all useless. No one paid them any attention.
Some were bound with specially made beast-sinew ropes, while others had restriction talismans stuck to their bodies. Powerless to resist, they were forced down beside the Sky Pit, kneeling on the ground in humiliation.
Among the crowd, Shen Luo immediately spotted Juewu, the man who had slandered him earlier and called him a traitor.
Yet that fellow was not bound. Instead, he stood beside the demons with a broad smile on his face.
*Why is he standing with these demons? He doesn't look as though he's being controlled. Could he be a traitor too, just like Jue Ming and Jue An? Is that why he went to such lengths to slander me earlier? If so, he probably had a hand in the destruction of the Yi Wood Eight-Trigram Immortal Formation around
