Chapter 569 - 569 Fun
At the entrance of the Black Prison, a ghostly Evil Qi surged tumultuously.
But within the Evil Qi of the Black Prison, there was also a massive and vast demonic aura, as well as the presence of many demonic cultivators, and even some righteous aura from immortal cultivators.
With such a complex and abundant aura leaking out, even though others did not possess the Black Prison Formation Flag and could not sense the specific situation inside, they still guessed what was happening inside.
Elder Wu Xingtian of the Spirit Beasts murmured under his breath, “Damn, it’s going to explode this time! Even if Li Muyang is killed today, his name will still echo throughout the entire cultivation world…”
The Black Prison that stood unshaken for a thousand years was about to collapse before their eyes.
Elder Ge Hongshan of Artifact Refining wore a grim expression, “Where are the other elders? Damn it, if they don’t arrive soon, there’s really going to be big trouble!”
Once the Black Prison collapsed, if such a major upheaval disaster occurred, both he and Elder Wu Xingtian who had arrived first at the Black Prison but did not take action, could not escape the blame.
The Sect Master would surely unleash a thunderous fury, pursuing the responsibility of both for retreating in the face of battle.
But if they were to rush in now…
Elder Ge Hongshan shook his head violently, it was better to be punished by the Sect Master.
Only a fool would enter the Black Prison now and court death!
Regardless of how dry Elder Wei Zizhen’s mouth got from talking, or even how frustrated he became, the two elders of the Refinement Demon Sect still hesitated outside the Black Prison and dared not venture into danger.
Luckily, the other elders of the Refinement Demon Sect did not tarry.
In the pitch-black night sky, one after another, streaks of light sped towards this location.
Eventually, a total of twelve streaks of light landed outside the Black Prison.
Apart from the Law Enforcement Elder, the Transmission Elder, and the Heart Refining Elder who were out searching for medicine on behalf of the Sect Master, all fourteen elders of the Refinement Demon Sect were now gathered outside the Black Prison.
Leading the elders was Elder Si Jianping, the Soul Refining Elder, who was aged but second only to the Sect Master in terms of prestige within the sect.
The Soul Refining Elder, with little life left, rarely managed affairs and only appeared when there were major events in the sect.
And whenever she appeared, she hardly spoke.
But now, with the Sect Master in seclusion to heal, this wrinkled and white-haired old crone undeniably stood as the first person in the Refinement Demon Sect.
She leaned on the heavy, dark Dragon Head Staff, her cold gaze fixed on the Black Prison in front of her, and spoke with an icy voice.
“…Spirit Beast Elder, Artifact Refining Elder, why do you watch the Black Prison in turmoil and yet do not intervene to stop it?”
“Has the Refinement Demon Sect wronged you two Zi Fu powerhouses? The Artifact Refining Hall and the Spirit Beast Peak will have their allocations of Silver Coin and Spiritual Objects halved for the next three years!”
The Soul Refining Elder’s tone was low and her eyes cold.
Stared down by the crooked old woman’s ominous gaze, the two elders of the Refinement Demon Sect instantly shivered with fear and promptly bowed their heads in admission of guilt.
They did not dare to retort in the slightest.
This old thing, back in the day, almost became the Sect Master, but in the end, due to her excessively murderous nature and brutal methods, was passed over by the second-generation Sect Master, Hu Qingshan.
With their heads bowed, the two elders of the Refinement Demon Sect did not want to quarrel with an old crone halfway into her grave.
After Elder Si Jianping finished her reprimand, she looked up directly, her actions as swift as thunder, and pointed towards the Black Prison ahead.
“Charge in and kill those troublemakers inside!”
A cold light emerged in the old crone’s thin and ominous eyes, “As for the prisoners causing trouble, capture them all and lock them up. Subject them to ten times their normal punishment afterward!”
“Who dares to run wild within the Refinement Demon Sect, when the Sect Master emerges from seclusion later, none who caused trouble tonight will get away!”
Saying this, the old woman firmly slammed her dark Dragon Head Staff onto the ground.
As the heavy staff of the Dragon Head struck the void, the Sect Protection Array of the entire Refinement Demon Sect suddenly responded.
One after another, dazzling lights appeared at the edge of the Sect gate.
Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth began to converge towards this place.
Countless fierce winds and thunders roared and flashed between heaven and earth.
The old woman’s Dragon Head Staff could command the Sect Protection Array.
Now that the entire Sect Protection Array of the Refinement Demon Sect was awakened, the vast movements alarmed all the cultivators within the sect.
One after another, Inner Sect Disciples looked up in bewilderment, cluelessly gazing into the distance, unsure of what had transpired.
And luminous figures of light took flight speedily in the night sky, converging on the Black Prison at the top of Snow-Stepping Peak.
These lights were all the offerings of the Refinement Demon Sect.
Each offering wielded the power and cultivation of the Spirit Wandering realm.
Now, with hundreds of lights soaring into the sky and flying towards Snow-Stepping Peak, the sight was both spectacular and chilling.
With hundreds of Spirit Wandering cultivators taking to the air at once, even a legendary Eternal Heaven realm expert would furrow their brow.
Not to mention the Sect Protection Array that had already been activated!
A stooped old crone coldly watched the Black Prison and commanded, “Go in!”
She urged the Beastmaster Elder Wu Xingtian and the Artifact Refining Elder Ge Hongshan to take the lead.
But before the Refinement Demon Sect’s Elders had a chance to storm into the Black Prison, a figure emerged amidst the swirling evil Qi at its entrance.
A man with striking and bizarre purple hair swayed in the night wind, his skin pale and his frame emaciated, he stood alone just outside the grand gates of the Black Prison.
Facing the sky full of fleeing lights and the extravagant assembly of more than a dozen Refinement Demon Sect Elders.
This obscure and nameless Moth Child split into a grin and said, “What fun! Tonight, the Refinement Demon Sect will be turned upside down!”
“Ha ha ha…”
The man with purple hair let out a hearty bout of laughter.
In the next second, fourteen Refinement Demon Sect Elders made their move at the same time.
Fourteen beams of light engulfed the man with purple hair, blasting him into soul destruction and leaving no trace of his bones.
Once again, peace was restored outside the gates of the Black Prison.
The Refinement Demon Sect Elders who witnessed this scene were slightly taken aback.
“Where did this madman come from?”
“…He just died like that?”
He had walked out so arrogantly on his own; they thought he must have had some powerful trump card.
Yet, he died in such a casual manner…
The stooped old crone witnessed this and slightly furrowed her brow, sensing something amiss.
But in the next second, she forcefully brought down her Dragon Head Staff and coldly ordered.
“Charge inside!”
With a single step, she moved on the light and arrived outside the Black Prison, pressing the Beastmaster and Artifact Refining Elders to the front.
Thus, fourteen Refinement Demon Sect Elders successively entered the Black Prison.
Only one of the Elders, upon entering, unconsciously scratched his chest, as if it itched.
But then the chaos and horror within the ravaged Black Prison caught the Elders’ attention, and this Elder too diverted his focus.
Ahead, inside the Black Prison, was a scene of utter disarray and destruction.
Cells and dungeons were in ruins, and crisscrossed by sharp slashes that lingered in the cavernous mountain fastness.
The prisoners who were once confined in these dark cells had now all surged out and gathered together.
And amidst this throng of convicts, an enormous, strikingly conspicuous mantis-like demon beast loomed in the darkness.
Atop the massive mantis-like demon beast, a man in the white robes of the Refinement Demon Sect sinisterly smiled at the people present.
“Refinement Demon Sect’s esteemed Elders?”
Holding a fainting girl in his arms as if she were a hostage, the sinister man spoke coldly to those gathered.
“Alas, you’ve come too late.”
“The entire Black Prison has already been swept clean by me!”
