Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao left.
But only half an hour later, a man in black robe appeared from the forest in the opposite direction and returned to the entrance of the underground valley.
"Huh, that little girl's skin tastes pretty good..."
The black-robed man muttered to himself and licked his lips with his tongue.
Although they came here because of an important order from their superiors, with the Soul Envoy here, the mission should be foolproof, so he took this opportunity to desert and ran to a city hundreds of miles away to have some good meat.
Anyway, he had finished it as quickly as possible, and no one would notice that he had secretly enjoyed himself.
Then, his pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at the entrance.
"Um?"
Why is it so quiet?
He frowned, then walked inside.
As a result, not long after he walked away, the body of a colleague appeared before his eyes, with black poisonous blood flowing from all seven orifices. The body was still warm, and it was probably less than an hour since he had been dead!
The black-robed man's face turned pale.
He knew that this guy was responsible for guarding the gate to prevent the captured "flesh and blood" from escaping. At the same time, he was also paying attention to whether anyone passed by this valley and discovered what the Evil Soul Palace was doing.
But he died.
And judging from the way he died, it was obvious that he had been poisoned with a very strong poison.
The man in black robe walked over his corpse, then went deeper into the cave until he came to the empty underground palace.
The ground was littered with corpses, even the purple-robed soul envoy in the fusion stage, the evil cultivator that made him feel afraid, was now bleeding from all seven orifices, with an extremely unwilling look on his face, as if he had not anticipated his own death at all!
"What's going on..."
His face was trembling violently.
The man in black robe was horrified. He just deserted and went to taste some meat secretly, but when he came back, he found that all his colleagues were dead? !
Is there anything more terrifying in the world?
But soon, he changed his mind and wondered if he was particularly lucky.
If he had been here just now, he might have died along with these guys.
"It's over. What should I do now..."
The man in black robe just felt a little relieved, but then his face became full of anxiety.
This time they traveled thousands of miles to the edge of East Frontier, but they received a death order from their superiors to release the soul of the "Red Flame Sky Demon" that was sealed under the underground palace in the deep valley.
If I flee back to the main hall now, I will return empty-handed.
What awaits me will be a punishment more terrifying than death!
The man in black robe has been in the Evil Soul Hall for so long and knows what kind of force it is. The hall master will never forgive those who fail to accomplish their goals."well!"
Thinking of this, the man in black robe sighed heavily.
Then he looked toward the altar.
The blood sacrifice formation to break the seal is still in operation...
That's a bit strange.
In theory, this formation should be controlled by the Purple Robe Soul Envoy, who should infuse the power condensed from the flesh and blood of these creatures into the seal and free the soul of the Red Flame Sky Demon.
But now, the people who controlled the formation are dead, so why is the formation still working?
The man in black frowned, but saw that the runes on the altar suddenly lit up red.
Then——
A loud rumbling sound came from the altar.
"... Never mind, let's give it a try!"
The man in black robe did not think much about it. In the current situation, it seemed that the formation was still working and the blood pool under the altar was boiling. Although he was also puzzled, since the action of breaking the seal was still going on, he might as well continue!
At the very least, you have to report to your superiors to save your life.
He threw all the bodies of his colleagues on the ground into the pool of blood one by one - in fact, the flesh and blood of the monks were much more useful than the flesh and blood of those living creatures they had collected before.
However, the Evil Soul Palace must keep a low profile, and a large-scale search and killing of monks will inevitably attract attention.
Otherwise, according to the style of the Evil Soul Palace thousands of years ago, they could destroy the entire Sun Flame Dynasty and then use it for a blood sacrifice.
Mortals, monsters, demons, those "righteous forces" don't care about their lives, and don't pay any attention if their numbers are small.
This pool of blood contains the flesh and blood of hundreds of thousands of creatures.
Adding these cultivators with strong cultivation bases, this should be enough...
The man in black robe was unsure.
He could only wait.
"Crack!"
After a while, a crack suddenly appeared on the altar, and then the whole thing shattered, and the man in black was shocked back to the edge of the underground palace.
Then, a figure covered in red-gold devil flames slowly rose from the pool of blood that had stopped boiling!
As soon as it appeared, it let out a long howl.
"roar!"
The sound was like a wolf howling, a dog growling, a roar to vent anger, and also like a roar of excitement!
The howling seemed to be as terrifying as if it could shatter one's skull and pierce one's heart. The man in black robe had a face full of fear and was breathing heavily, as if he was going to die in the next second.
This sound is so horrible!Only a powerful being, who is also extremely evil, could make such a sound.
Run away!
This was the only thought left in his mind.
Then he immediately turned around and ran away.
But the next moment he found that it seemed as if a mountain was pressing down on his back, so heavy that he could not move.
What was even more terrifying was that he felt countless thin threads entangled around his body...
He struggled desperately, but in vain.
"Why are you running?"
"I watched you guys work back and forth for months, but you were interrupted at the last minute. I was actually very desperate."
The man in black robe looked at the red-gold demonic shadow that suddenly appeared before his eyes - there was no doubt that this was part of the soul of the "Red Flame Sky Demon" that was sealed underground!
It escaped.
But the first thing he did after escaping the predicament did not seem to be to thank them.
"But don't worry, your efforts have not been in vain. I have been cooperating with you in secret. Otherwise, this 'Seal of the Gods of All Souls' would not be cracked by a bunch of ants like you relying on the flesh and blood of some trash to bless the formation."
The Scarlet Flame Sky Demon said this with a smile, even though its mouth did not show at all, there was only a blurry demon shadow.
"Lord Tianmo, I thought you... were still asleep..."
The man in black robe said tremblingly.
The fear that the demonic shadow before him brought to him was even greater than the fear that all his colleagues were suddenly poisoned to death!
"Hahaha, sleeping?"
The Red Flame Demon's voice suddenly turned cold.
"Ever since the first day that damn woman brought people to destroy my body and split my soul, I have always remained absolutely sober!"
"Then, then you..."
The man in black robe felt the demon's raging rage, as if it had been pent up for endless years to give it such murderous aura.
But he didn't know what the Red Flame Demon was trying to do.
But the next second, he knew.
The Scarlet Flame Demon crushed the black-robed man's soul without any hesitation.
Before his consciousness completely dissipated, a question still echoed in the black-robed man's mind.
Why did he help this guy escape?
