He's ugly, he's not gentle anymore

The situation in the village is more complicated than Luo He imagined.

There are three elders in the village, one with Nascent Soul cultivation base and two Jindan cultivation bases.It is unimaginable for an unknown village to have such a configuration.The three elders are all masters of formations, and even more proficient in alchemy.This kind of ability can be enjoyed by the three major sects of the cultivation world, so why live in the countryside?There is only one reason, these three people are the most wanted criminals in Andingmen, and they dare not show their heads in Xiujie, so they can only live in seclusion.

Below the village there is a dark passage leading to a nearby mountain.Shan Nei was pulled out of the cave, and all the people caught in the village were transported there to be imprisoned, and eventually they were refined there.

According to the map given by Ye Zi, Luo He sneaked in from the vent outside the mountain.

Ye Zi said that a big shot is coming tonight, but he doesn't know who that big shot is.Every time this person comes, the captured person will be refined at the fastest speed, and the place where the person is held is almost emptied.This prevented Luo He from delaying the time any longer, and his master might have to be trained later.

There are many vents on the mountain, and large vents are generally guarded.Luo He sneaked in while the guards were changing shifts, and the journey was safe and sound.

Most of the roads are stone walls.When I turned a corner by chance, my eyes suddenly became empty.A space the size of a football field is densely packed, with a prison embedded in the wall and an iron cage hanging in the air.

In the big cage, there are unconscious male cultivators; in the small cage, there are emaciated babies—most of them have their eyes closed tightly, reckless; a few of them are crying softly, but they are powerless.

There is also the prison on the wall, which seems to be quite empty now.Several people lived there, and the monks inside were all dull-eyed and dazed.There was a noisy one, perhaps not long after he was caught, like a trapped animal, roaring furiously but it didn't help.

Some of the larger cells housed one to three women.Some are about to give birth with a big belly, and some are described as haggard and lethargic.There were also several cells with curtains, and men's panting and women's moaning came from inside.In the room closer to the Luohe River, groaning and gasping for breath, the man quieted down after hearing a low growl.Not long after the curtain was lifted, two men came out together.

"I heard that the quality of babies has declined recently, and the elders intend to prohibit people below the concentration period from playing with women. I don't know if it's true."

The man who came out first said while lifting his pants.Judging by his clothes, he is similar to the guards at the major vents.He was dressed in brown, and his hair was tied with a brown ribbon.

"Tsk tsk, that's not good. If it's really stipulated like this, where will the two of us go to have fun in the future?"

"Hey... the investigation of trafficking outside is getting more and more strict. I have been intercepted several batches in the past few months. I am panicking. If there is not enough, those with low cultivation base like us will definitely suffer first."

"If you have wine today, you will be drunk today..."

"Anyway, I would rather commit suicide than be sent to the refining formation... You haven't seen that scene, I was so scared that I peed..."

Luo He hid in the dark, watching the two leave.

Unexpectedly, there is such a cruel and dirty existence in Xiujie.No wonder there are no women or children in the village, but they are all locked up here and raised like livestock.

Carefully bypassing several prisons with curtains still hanging, Luohe searched for the location of his master.

The person who yelled just now realized the existence of Luo He, widened his eyes and stretched out his hand, "Help me! Save me!"

Luo He was startled, and his body paused slightly.He listened carefully to the movement, turned to look at the man, put his finger to his lips, "Shh..."

Seeing Luohe, the man froze for a moment.Thinking of the current situation, if people from the village were lured over, no one would be able to escape, so he obediently stopped shouting.

Luohe searched around this huge cave, but did not see his master.So according to the map given by Ye Zi, we continued to go deeper.The deeper it goes, the more guards there are, and the more heavily guarded it is.

On the way, Luohe encountered someone escorting a group of unkempt young monks to the refinery.He smeared his face indiscriminately, messed up his hair, and sneaked in while they were passing by the dark place.

These people were all fed drugs that suppressed their spiritual energy and made them physically weak.Long-term physical and mental torture made them lose their fighting spirit and completely despaired.Even walking is extremely difficult.

Several people's legs became weak and they fell down, causing the escorts to curse at them.The whips, hammers or other weapons in their hands greeted them all at once, beat them up, dragged them up again, and yelled away like pigs.

Some of them were extremely weak and could no longer stand up, so they could only be dragged by the chains on their hands.

The leader saw it, and scolded those who did the work, "Bastards! If you kill someone, do you make up for it yourself?"

Accompanied by the voice of the escort cursing, after walking for more than ten minutes, there was another huge cave.This place is slightly smaller than the place where people are locked up, and it is hollowed out several meters down.The most eye-catching thing is a hexagonal platform in the center, which protrudes about one meter from the ground.The bottom of the hexagonal platform was hollowed out, and something was placed inside, emitting a faint red light.There are grooves on the platform, and the grooves run through to form a complex figure.If you guessed right, this is the training platform for living people.

Looking down from the top, Luohe saw Jiang Qinzi being put on the altar at a glance.

Compared with others, Jiang Qinzi looked much more glamorous.Although his white clothes were stained with some dust, it did not detract from his demeanor.He still looks cold in front of others, his eyes are icy cold.

I didn't expect that my master was the first to go to the altar, how can I save him?Could it be that Luo Ying was forced to break in?

Luo He secretly calculated the odds of Luo Ying's victory against the third elder.If it's normal, if you only deal with the third elder, it shouldn't be a problem.In this huge refining field, not only the three elders have to deal with, but also the guards around the elders.Not only that, but according to Ye Zi, there are many unknown mechanisms in this refinery.

After thinking about it, another 18 people were taken to the altar.Three people were locked in each corner of the hexagonal platform, and Jiang Qinzi was in the middle.

The three elders were standing in three directions of the altar at the moment, all of them had their hair tied up and wore crowns, and they were all dressed in Xingyue robes.Behind the three of them were at least six guards who stood upright.Ye Zi said that these guards are all close to the golden core stage, and they used strong medicine to stimulate the body's potential. They will die but not stiff.

"Start the refining platform!"

An elder said loudly, raising his hands slightly.

After the words fell, the other two elders did the same, chanting complicated spells in a low voice.

Then I saw the red light of the refining platform flourishing, shaking and rising slowly.The red substance under the refining platform seemed to be alive, and it was slowly crawling towards the people on the refining platform.

"It's actually a six-pole bloodworm. It seems that the person caught this time has a very high level of cultivation."

The man who had just whipped someone said to the person next to him in a low voice.

"The three elders shot together, this is the first time we have seen each other for so long."

The person on the side replied.

Luo He frowned and watched, how could he stand by and watch?The most important thing now is to interrupt the refining process, and there is no time for Luohe to think of a perfect solution.

So he backed away quietly, making the thorns entangle and silently dealt with the guards behind him.While most people are paying attention to the refining platform, go back to the road you came from just now.

Luo Ying was hanging upside down in the dark at the moment, and when he saw Luo He coming out, he blinked his wide eyes and asked Luo He what he was going to do next.

"Go down and disturb the three people with the highest cultivation, kill them if you can."

Luo He said to Luo Ying.

Luo Ying screamed excitedly when he heard the words, and flew over with flapping wings.And his shriek also successfully attracted the attention of the people in the refinery, more than a dozen guards rushed into the passage at an extremely fast speed.

However, among the dozen or so people, Luo Ying didn't even block them for a second.Being slapped by his wings, they all rolled to the ground.

Luo Ying swooped straight down, and the first target was the elder who had the cultivation base of Nascent Soul.A few feather arrows were fired, and the elder's guards were all dead.It's a pity that the feather arrow rushing towards the elder was dodged.

Naturally, Luo Ying's feathered arrows were not so easy to dodge.Feather arrows are extremely fast, and often have back moves.You can dodge the first arrow, but you can't defend against the second and third arrows.

For example, the feathered arrow that was dodged by the elder shot a second arrow in the opposite direction at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.At this time, hiding is absolutely impossible, and can only be blocked by people.

The elder escaped by pulling the guard who had been shot by the arrow just now as a human shield for him.

And the guard who was hit by the arrow was indeed as Ye Zi said, even if he died, he would still fight.The knives, swords or spears in his hands were all brandishing in a vain attempt to fight Luo Ying.Luo Ying could fly, and among the six guards, only one was able to do light work. He climbed the rock wall and made a move against Luo Ying, but was pecked off by Luo Ying.

Luohe didn't take a closer look at the specific battle situation.Taking advantage of the chaos, he went down to the altar and found Jiang Qinzi.

"Master, come with me!"

Luo He lowered himself and crawled to his side, so as not to be accidentally injured.

Jiang Qinzi didn't know what she was doing, and said without turning her head, "Wait, wait..."

Luo He leaned forward, only to find that Jiang Qinzi had bitten his finger and was drawing a talisman on the center of the refining platform.

"Okay? We need to get out of here as soon as possible..."

"Hurry up, I have to destroy this refining platform so that it won't continue to harm people."

Jiang Qinzi was busy with his work and hurriedly replied.

Luo He paid attention to the surrounding situation, and saw that the guards around the third elder were all jealous, but they still couldn't help Luo Ying.And the third elder also relied on the protection of the "dead" warrior to avoid Luo Ying's attacks time and time again.The leading elder even looked for an opportunity and opened the organ array.Countless arrows shot at Luo Ying from the rock wall, and something like tentacles and hands attacked Luo Ying after the rain of arrows.

Luo Ying was extremely irritated by being entangled, and with a scream, she swooped down on the third elder again and again, but was blocked by the dead one after another.

Just when the battle situation was stalemate, there was a loud noise outside the mountain.An elder touched the ground with his hand, a golden light flashed, turned into a golden snake, spread out, and roamed back again.

The elder raised his head, the golden light in his eyes gradually faded, and shouted, "Exposed! Withdraw!"

When the elder shouted these words, Luohe and Jiang Qinzi had already left the altar and hid in a corner.

"Master! Let's go quickly, we won't be able to leave after all their people come!"

Luo He persuaded.

But Jiang Qinzi was stuck behind the earthen wall, staring at the refining platform, refusing to move.

"You must see the altar destroyed with your own eyes, so that you can feel at ease as a teacher. This altar can be moved, what if they take it to another place and continue to harm people?"

While speaking, the third elder really tried to move the altar with space magic.Who would have thought that the refining platform was vibrating, and it remained motionless.

At this time, the three people realized that the refining platform had been tampered with, and the leader was so angry that his eyes were red, "Who! Who moved my refining platform?"

The remaining two also had heartaches on their faces, but they knew that it was important to escape at this moment, so they dragged the leader to a secret passage that had just been opened.And when the three of them entered the secret passage, the refining platform finally exploded with a loud noise.

When Luohe saw the head elder rushing out from the secret passage, two lines of tears flowed down his face.It can be seen that this refining platform probably cost him a lot of hard work.

Jiang Qinzi finally got his wish and walked out with Luohe.Luo He yelled at Luo Ying, but Luo Ying clashed with the touch and handle on the wall, pecking away one by one and breaking them before he was reconciled.

On the way, there are supporters from the village's secret passage, and many of them are above the foundation building stage.Luohe did not confront them head-on.There were so many of them, seeing Luo He as sober and spiritually powerful, they must be the first to besiege Luo He.

Walking to Guanren's hole, Luohe stopped and released them one by one.He doesn't have any lockpicking skills, and only uses spiritual power to destroy the lock.

Then, with a group of people, they dragged and dragged away the exit in the mountain.It is definitely not possible to take the secret passage of the village, you will meet people from the village.The exits inside the mountain are safer.The exit guards were the first to enter the refinery for support, and most of them were wiped out by Luo Ying.The rest, Luohe can barely deal with.

When everyone was finally brought out, Luohe's spiritual power was exhausted.

Everyone stood at the exit of the middle of the mountain, and it was already dark.They supported each other, the woman hugged the living child, and the man hugged the injured with limited mobility.There was no ecstasy in escaping death, only exhaustion.

Luohe saw the lights of the village from a distance, faintly visible, with a sinister aura.

There was a flash of sword light, and noisy shouts came.The wind blows gently, bringing a faint smell of blood.

"Master, take them down the mountain, and I'll check the situation."

Luohe suddenly said to Jiang Qinzi, before Jiang Qinzi could react, he turned and went back to the acupuncture point in the mountain.

To Luohe's surprise, the road was unusually quiet.At the beginning, I saw only a few corpses of guards lying alone, and the more we went to the dark passage, the more corpses there were.

Walking along the dark passage, there is no one alive on the road.What is it, to end all lives in a short time?

Luo He covered his mouth and nose, so he couldn't take a closer look at the corpse.A closer look is chilling, frightening, and will stop people from moving forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the wet and soft ground under his feet was paved with blood.

Finally, he stopped at the entrance of a cave and saw the first and only living person.

The man turned his back to Luohe, his black clothes were soaked in blood, and blood dripped from the hem of his clothes.The sword hanging down in his hand, the cold light on the blade was also blood-colored, quietly, like a dormant bloodthirsty beast.

That lonely figure reveals a strange loneliness.It seems like a flower waiting for time to pick after it has fully bloomed.Waiting for withering, waiting for the end, and waiting for the next one, the feast of death.

Suddenly, the tip of the sword trembled slightly.From stillness to movement, so fast that it disappears in the blink of an eye.That sword is like a fierce ghost, one second it was still silent, the next it screams to kill someone, trying to tear apart a fish that slipped through the net and destroys the tranquility.

What Luohe looked at was not the sword, but the person holding the sword.

Yi Xiu is not a swordsman, but he obviously likes to use swords as weapons.His mask is expressionless, and his eyes are devoid of emotion.Even when he met Luo He's eyes, his killing intent remained undiminished.

Luo He blinked his eyes, and looked down to see the menacing sharp weapon.The momentum of the sword didn't decrease at all, and it stabbed at him resolutely.But the moment it touched his chest, it shattered into dust, like a firework bursting into brilliance for a moment, then scattered and disappeared.

"Luo... Luo River..."

A trace of confusion flashed in Yi Xiu's eyes, and his voice trembling slightly when he called Luo He.

"Ok?"

Luo He responded softly, as if nothing happened just now, his indifference was outrageous.

"Why don't you hide?"

Yi Xiu took a step forward, a little panicked.

"..."

Luo He didn't answer for a long while.

This made Yi Xiu even more flustered and at a loss, he couldn't even get closer to the Luo River.

Luo He finally raised his eyes to look at Yi Xiu, and sighed helplessly, "I can't avoid it."

That's the fact, he couldn't dodge Yixiu's sword.If the spirit sword hadn't been shattered by its master at the last moment, Luohe would have become a corpse at this moment.

"Sorry……"

With a dry throat, Yi Xiu apologized in a low voice.

"It's ok."

Luo He replied in a flat voice, his eyes swept across the ground, and then quickly moved away—it was still too scary.

This place is not suitable for romance.
