More than a hundred disciples did not notice anyone following them, and one by one they entered the dilapidated house of the evil cultivator.
True Lord Ziyun and the elders frowned.
They had searched this village before, but found no trace of any evil cultivation activities.
"Sect Master, something is wrong!" the First Elder said worriedly, "Do you think this might be a trap set by the other party...?"
True Lord Ziyun fell into thought.
In fact, she had had this guess halfway through.
After all, everything was too smooth, too abnormally smooth.
And she had personally checked the bodies of those thirty-odd disciples back then, and there had been no sign of evil energy entering their bodies...
"In any case, everyone be careful later," True Lord Ziyun commanded and took the lead towards the thatched cottage.
Since they were already here, there was no reason to go back just like that.
Moreover, the strength of that evil cultivator was evident. Even if it was a trap, it wouldn't be too formidable.
At most, they would suffer a minor loss.
The thatched cottage was not large, and a few simple rooms were in plain sight.
But there was nothing.
Those disciples seemed to have vanished into thin air...
Everyone quickly released their divine senses to investigate.
There were still no signs of the disciples, nor any evil aura...
Just as they were bewildered, they suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness!
Then, their vision blurred!
When they regained their senses, they found themselves in a sealed space!
A dim atmosphere, bizarre talismans.
And...
A strong evil aura!
They could confirm that this evil aura was the strongest they had ever encountered!
In fact, it vaguely didn't feel like mere evil energy.
They felt intensely uncomfortable all over, their true qi felt like a puddle of mud!
Even the air they breathed in was so foul it made them want to vomit!
What surprised them most were the more than a hundred disciples in the room.
At this moment, those disciples were sitting around a large formation on the ground, and streams of black energy were flowing from the formation into their bodies.
As this black energy was injected, the disciples' bodies shriveled and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye...
"Hehehe! I didn't expect such an unexpected gain!" an incomparably evil voice sinisterly echoed. "Your bodies are much more delicious than these trashy Qi Condensation stage cultivators!"
True Lord Ziyun and the elders trembled instantly!
Although it was only a voice, it made them feel an immense sense of oppression!
This pressure made them, who were at the Nascent Soul stage, almost unable to stand steady!
In that instant, they even had a feeling: if the other party willed it, they could easily end their lives!
This could absolutely not be that evil cultivator, because he did not possess such terrifying power!
"Who exactly are you!" Ziyun gritted her teeth and asked, while frantically circulating the true qi within her body.
"You can call me Nirvanic Sin," Nirvanic Sin's sinister voice replied.
"Nirvanic Sin?!"
Everyone present trembled and looked incredulous!
"Seventh Elder, is this Nirvanic Sin very powerful?" Li Mingbai had no idea what was going on.
In fact, he was very puzzled.
After they entered, the Sect Master and the elders had expressions as if they had seen a ghost, and they seemed very afraid?
He couldn't understand it.
Because apart from finding the voice unpleasant, he felt nothing else.
Well...
It wasn't that he felt nothing at all.
He just felt a warm, comfortable sensation in his pants...
The Seventh Elder didn't have the energy to bother with Li Mingbai.
Was Nirvanic Sin merely powerful?
He was terrifying!
Ten thousand years ago, the demon race launched a massive invasion of the human realm.
Heart-Devouring War Demon and his twelve demon envoys bloodbathed the entire Eastern Wilderness!
That war lasted for over a hundred years!
Countless powerful cultivators perished at the hands of the demon race, and the human cultivator world of the Eastern Wilderness was almost wiped out for a generation!
In the end, it was the collective self-destruction of more than ten thousand Tribulation Passing stage cultivators that dragged the Heart-Devouring War Demon to his death.
It was precisely because of that war that all the Tribulation Passing stage cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness were annihilated!
Nirvanic Sin, the seventh demon envoy under the Heart-Devouring War Demon.
He was also the last demon envoy to fall.
At that time, he single-handedly faced the siege of more than 300,000 Grand Ascension stage cultivators and held on for three days and three nights!
Finally, after killing over 100,000 Grand Ascension stage cultivators, he fell.
He was undoubtedly an incomparably terrifying existence!
But according to records, wasn't Nirvanic Sin killed back then?
Why was he appearing here now???
"It seems you have heard of my deeds," Nirvanic Sin's sinister voice echoed again. "Those foolish cultivators at the time thought I was killed, little do they know that our great demon race never perishes!"
"Alright, enough meaningless chatter, it's time to send you on your way."
As Nirvanic Sin's words fell, countless black demonic energies filled the room!
Demonic energy, a higher existence than evil energy.
Even before this demonic energy touched their bodies, True Lord Ziyun and the others were completely immobilized!
Their bodies were ice-cold, breathing was difficult, and their minds were clouded!
Escape?
The one who had killed over 100,000 Grand Ascension stage cultivators was a terrifying demon envoy; there was no point even thinking about it.
Moreover, escaping in their current state was mere wishful thinking.
They could only watch as the black demonic energy enveloped them...
Despair settled upon everyone's hearts.
"Rejoice!" In the darkness, Nirvanic Sin's sinister voice rang out again. "To become a part of my power is a great honor for you!"
Power and life force began to drain rapidly, and True Lord Ziyun and the others collapsed in the room...
It seemed they were about to perish...
Just then, a faint golden gleam appeared in their vision.
True Lord Ziyun and the others thought it was a hallucination brought on by their near-death state.
But the next moment, they were astonished to find that the golden light transformed into an intense golden radiance!
Nirvanic Sin's demonic energy melted away like ice and snow under the scorching sun!
Feeling their bodies return to normal, True Lord Ziyun and the others looked around in bewilderment.
Then.
They saw.
A fist-sized, dazzling golden light emanating from Li Mingbai's crotch.
That dazzling golden light was like a small sun!
Seeing the elders staring intently at his lower body, Li Mingbai was also confused.
What was going on?
When did these seniors develop such a hobby?
Just then, Li Mingbai suddenly felt a burning sensation in his crotch.
He curiously looked down...
Holy crap?!
Why was his crotch emitting golden light???
Could it be that practicing Senior Brother Ye's cultivation technique had produced some hidden effect?
With this thought, Li Mingbai attempted to circulate the Myriad Ancient Undying Technique.
As the technique circulated, the golden light became even more dazzling.
Li Mingbai was completely enveloped in golden light, like a golden statue!
Li Mingbai, however, felt a pang of distress.
Damn it, circulating the cultivation technique made the temperature in his crotch soar!
Shit...
It felt like it was about to cook...
