Crackle!
Inside the vast underground palace, over a hundred Magic Treasure Blanks hung high in the air, radiating boundless, magnificent light.
A dozen or so bronze pillars appeared around the tentacled vertical eye, producing crimson chains that coiled around it.
Some Magic Treasure Blanks descended around the female cultivator who had used the tentacles, unleashing strange powers to suppress her.
Crack!
Crack!
The female cultivator's bones and sinews burst apart, and billowing black smoke rose from her body.
Her expression twisted as she growled, "Let me go!"
"We're all on the same side. Why did you ambush me?"
Squelch!
A cultivator hefted a spear and pierced her head, simultaneously piercing the Yang Spirit in her Inner Landscape. "The Strange Eye Alliance's iron law: anyone who touches the vertical eye with a body of flesh and blood shall be killed without mercy."
"Look, black smoke is rising from your body. You've been infected by the vertical eye."
The female cultivator twitched a few times and murmured to herself, "The black smoke is impurities in my Yang Spirit. You... are bullying me!"
Bang!
The female cultivator exploded, and countless eyeballs appeared on her corpse.
A cultivator sighed and took out a box. After the cultivator muttered an incantation, the corpse covered in eyeballs shrank and fell into the box.
Crack!
Crack!
Several Magic Treasure Blanks sealed the box, and several cultivators escorted it away together.
The other cultivators stared at the vertical eye with hostile expressions. "You bastard, are you still trying to bewitch us?"
The vertical eye sounded aggrieved. "I was forced to do it too."
"I refused, struggled, and pleaded at the time, but she hit me with Magic Treasure Blanks. I only agreed because I couldn't take it anymore."
The cultivators sneered. They did not believe a single word
