Chapter 166
“Senior Brother Cheng is really ruthless...”
At dawn, the sky began to lighten with the pale color of fish bellies.
The inner disciples, all dressed in white, started to leave the prison one by one.
Li Muyang, breathing in the fresh air to dispel the stench of blood, clicked his tongue in amazement.
The young valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley had been tortured all night long.
Senior Brother Cheng clearly came prepared. He brought many torture instruments from the Hall of Enforcement specifically designed for cultivators.
These instruments from the sect’s headquarters were much more professional than those found in Tianjiao City.
At first, the young valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley could still curse and swear viciously.
But as the night wore on, the curses of this madwoman became much quieter, and her eyes changed.
Gone was her initial defiance.
She seemed unable to understand why the Demon Refining Sect would send disciples in white to torment her.
Shouldn’t they be preparing to release her by now?
Even if the negotiations were not yet settled, there was no need to specifically torture her...
Truth be told, not only was she unable to understand, but Li Muyang also found it strange.
Walking at the end of the group, Li Muyang conversed with his little sister through a secret voice transmission.
“...Senior Brother Cheng is really ruthless, a man of few words indeed.”
Thinking back to the tortures applied last night, Li Muyang still felt his scalp tingle.
Li Yuechan glanced ahead and whispered back through voice transmission.
“It’s said that there have been signs of Blood Lotus Sect activities in the city recently, which might be related to Chaotic Souls Valley. Before the valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley came to Tianjiao City, he had met with people from the Blood Lotus Sect.”
“It was initially thought to be a trivial matter, but the sect’s reaction has been strong. It looks like this young valley master won’t be leaving anytime soon.”
Li Yuechan whispered, “I suspect that last night’s torture was a warning signal specifically for Chaotic Souls Valley, telling them to stay away from the Blood Lotus Sect.”
As expected, little sister was well-informed and immediately provided Li Muyang with new intelligence.
Li Muyang blinked, “Blood Lotus Sect?”
He had heard of these madmen, a group of rabid dogs that everyone in the cultivation world wanted to eliminate.
Whether it was the righteous path or the demonic path, all cultivators kept their distance from the madmen of the Blood Lotus Sect.
The core doctrine of the Blood Lotus Sect was to cleanse the world and eradicate all cultivators.
Their doctrine believed that the reason for disasters, wars, pain, and death in the world was that cultivators defied the heavens, angering the gods, and thus the gods sent down calamities to punish humanity.
If all cultivators were eliminated, pleasing the heavens, then the gods would not send down calamities, and there would be no more disasters, wars, aging, sickness, and death.
It wasn’t that he wanted to show off. It was just that the system’s skill was indeed irrational and inexplicable.
So Li Muyang played it mysterious, leading Fairy Liuli to continue rushing through the darkness.
Fortunately, Fairy Liuli was not the type to pry, and seeing that Li Muyang did not intend to explain, she kept quiet.
Li Muyang’s Hidden Sword in the Belly flying sword skill had a 100% hit rate and a 50% chance of instant death.
It had not shown its power in the Loushan City instance since there were only minor monsters there.
But in the Ancient Grudge Well, filled with evil gods, the terror of Hidden Sword in the Belly became evident.
All the beings here were evil god bosses, each capable of instantly killing Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli.
But with the overpowered skill of Hidden Sword in the Belly, Li Muyang could also kill evil gods—although the instant kill chance was only 50%.But at last, there was a way to fight against these evil gods.
After Li Muyang successfully defeated the Living God, he saved the game and continued forward with Fairy Liuli.
Soon, another terrifying health bar emerged from the darkness.
【Dreamweaver】
The moment Li Muyang saw the health bar, he didn’t hesitate and immediately spat out a flying sword.
But a dense web of spider silk came at him from all directions, and this time the flying sword didn’t trigger instant death, only inflicting a -11 damage number above the evil god’s head.
The next second, Li Muyang’s vision went dark, and he was forcibly ejected from the game.
【You died. Game Over】
“...well, it didn’t trigger this time.”
Li Muyang shook his head, reloaded the save, and re-entered the game.
Facing the Dreamweaver again, Li Muyang still launched the flying sword.
However, the chance of instant death still did not occur, and he was killed instantly by the evil god.
Li Muyang, refusing to believe in bad luck, reloaded the save and entered the game for the third time, only to be instantly killed by the Dreamweaver again.
“Three consecutive failures to trigger instant death, with a fifty percent chance... am I really that unlucky?”
Li Muyang, speechless, once again unleashed the flying sword skill and attacked the Dreamweaver.
This time, instant death finally triggered.
The Dreamweaver fell down and turned into sludge in the darkness.
But it took four attempts with the flying sword to trigger instant death, a rate that still made Li Muyang complain.
“I get it, this flying sword is meant for those with incredible luck.”
Li Muyang covered his face in dismay and muttered to himself, “No justice for the unlucky ones, huh.”
