Heaven-defying Phoenix

Outside the gorge, two young men and women dressed in luxurious clothing were escorted by a few servants as they slowly walked towards the gorge.    

    

"Junior sister Meng, are you saying that these poison barriers suddenly appeared in these past two days?"    

    

Qing Feng noticed that the poison barrier was getting denser and denser. He frowned and asked Meng Ke'er who was beside him.    

    

"Yeah, this is the barrier that I noticed when I passed by the day before yesterday, and looking at the range of the barrier, the cultivation level of the people that are here to set it up is not weak at all."    

    

Meng Ke'er laughed and then immediately urged: "Senior brother, let's hurry up. Although there is nothing abnormal here, with so many cultivators coming and going, who knows how many people we will alarm.    

    

"Alright, we will each have a bottle of toxic pill. Everyone hurry up."    

    

The interior of the cave was not very large. There was a narrow path at the back that led directly to the inside of the cave. Unfortunately, there was not even the slightest bit of light, so it was hard to tell what it looked like inside.    

    

However, a cold wind blew across the entire cave, along with a thick stench of blood. There were also strange carvings on the walls.    

    

The paintings were carved on the walls, they depicted a few living people being tortured. The first was a skinny man, and when it came to humans, there seemed to be a difference in standards, because this skinny man had a sinister and terrifying face, his entire body was craggy, and he did not seem like a real human. At this moment, this fellow was being cut off by the black robe, crying out painfully into the sky.    

    

The second picture showed a black robe s, dismembering the skinny man, but the strange thing was, this skinny man's body was also covered in a dense black aura. The third picture, the fourth picture, and so on, were all black robe s, dissecting the weird cultivator …    

    

These scenes became more and more bloody, to the point where the biggest scene in the middle was the black robe man, whose entire body was emitting a dense black Qi.    

    

Whether it was Jiu Muli or Dao Chen, both of them were completely stunned by this devilish hell-like scene.    

    

A chill rushed into her head, causing Jiu Muli to shiver subconsciously. Cultivators were not afraid of danger, not afraid of ghosts or gods, but the scene in front of her eyes still challenged her mental state.    

    

These scenes were simply too bloody. Moreover, at a glance, it was as though they were in the air itself. Those people being dissected reminded her of the operating rooms in her previous life. However, these images were much more brutal than those from her previous life.    

    

Was this an experiment using a cultivator?    

    

She was a little confused, but she could vaguely see the black robe's intentions. Furthermore, what she felt was weird was that the people being studied did not seem to be innocent humans.    

    

She raised her head and roared into the sky, and when she looked over, it was as if she had become a black-clothed man. Her entire body was filled with spirit, and above her head, there was endless Sky Law, and she could faintly hear the faint, shocking rumbling of thunder.    

    

Heaven's might!    

    

At this moment, her mind rumbled. Her entire person was like a lonely sail in the ocean, about to be drowned by the waves of thunder at any time.    

    

Just as Jiu Muli was aware that her entire body was about to be crushed into pieces, all of a sudden, all the blood vessels in her body seemed to have received some sort of stimulation, and started trembling.    

    

Accompanying the pulse of his blood, the terrifying scene immediately disappeared, the lightning disappeared, and the roar turned into nothingness, yet Jiu Muli discovered that he was already drenched in cold sweat.    

    

"Is he undergoing a tribulation or has he really been punished by the heavens?"    

    

When Jiu Muli woke up, she frowned. The other dozen or so Engraving s were all in a bloody scene, the only thing that made her feel strange was this largest one.    

    

She did not sense the abnormality of her bloodline, otherwise it would be even more terrifying.    

    

"Pfft!"    

    

At this moment, Dao Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, his face completely pale.    

    

"What the hell is this place? It's so scary." His face was filled with shock and fear. Just the Engraving's attack had caused his mind to suffer a heavy blow.    

    

"What did you see?" Jiu Muli frowned, she only felt fear, nothing else, she did not understand why Dao Chen looked that way.    

    

Although this place was strange, it was only strange. There was no sign of life, so it was obvious that no one was planning to ambush them.    

    

"Nothing, that Engraving is too weird."    

    

Dao Chen frowned, his face was extremely ugly. Seeing that Jiu Muli was fine, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Didn't you sense it, there seems to be some strange Qi here, unlike cultivators. Why don't we retreat?"    

    

"Eh, back then you weren't afraid of death, why are you so timid now?" Jiu Muli curled his lips, he had no intention to leave at all.    

    

"Can that be the same? Previously, I had the confidence to escape, but now this place is too strange, and I could lose my life at any time. How about I don't want the Cold Star Stone? Can you let me go?"    

    

Dao Chen rolled his eyes. Although he had already expected that falling into the opponent's hands would not make him feel good, he still felt indignant.    

    

"You're thinking too much. The deal isn't completed yet, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to undermine me by refusing to give me face? Or do you think I'm a man of my word? "    

    

Jiu Muli coldly snorted.    

    

The heck, this isn't a matter of face, alright? As for his reputation, what the hell was his reputation? He was clearly trying to buy it and sell it!    

    

Dao Chen was so angry that his teeth itched, but he could not fake the killing intent that erupted from Jiu Muli's body, so he could only swallow his anger.    

    

"Alright, let's cut the crap and head inside."    

    

Jiu Muli said as he poked Dao Chen and pointed to the dark tunnel behind him.    

    

At the entrance of this small cave, although he did not know what it was used for, other than the Engraving, there was nothing else. Jiu Muli had naturally placed his mind on that path.    

    

Dao Chen had no choice but to walk at the front. Before he took two steps, he took out another Night Pearl and wrapped it with spiritual energy and hung it in front of his body as a light source.    

    

This fellow had quite a few strange things.    

    

Surprise flashed across Jiu Muli's eyes, a trace of thought fixated on Dao Chen. This guy had many tricks, she was a little worried that he would use some tricks.    

    

The tunnel was very long, like a tunnel. Although there were no marks made by the axe, it was still very natural. One look was enough to tell that it was dug using a Star Soul.    

    

The two travelled at a slow pace. After an incense stick of time, they estimated that they were about two to three miles away, and were about to reach the end of the tunnel. An empty plaza appeared, with a radius of no less than a kilometer, and rune was flickering around it.    

    

"Hiss!"    

    

Seeing that, Dao Chen sucked in a cold breath of air, but very quickly, he was just about to step onto the plaza when he suddenly retracted his leg.    

    

"Not good, the poison aura here is too dense, I can't withstand it."    

    

Dao Chen's face turned ugly, he turned and looked at Jiu Muli, and stopped.    

    

Jiu Muli frowned slightly. Earlier, she had already noticed that the deeper they went in, the thicker the poison barrier. She did not expect that at the end of the passage, the stronger the poison became.
