In a remote region, there were two enormous mountains forming a natural gate. Additionally, an artificial gate was at the bottom, where tens of thousands of people were gathered. It seemed like some kind of assembly.
An evil cultivator looked coldly at the people before them. Most of these people were composed of youths in the early stages of the Qi Gathering Realm. They all had expressions of despair, and some were even trembling.
Suddenly, one of the youths broke free from the crowd and fled away.
The corrupt cultivator snorted, and a black spear flew, piercing the youth and then dragging him back with a QI rope.
"Hmph, those who are disloyal to the Infernal God will receive fifty years of soul refinement as punishment," declared the cultivator with disdain.
