Chapter 298 Purge
"Who broke through the restrictions I set up?"
In the corridor, a graceful and tall evil cultivator with mink ears, leading a group of fifth and sixth-rank evil cultivators, blocked their escape route.
Tu Xiaoxiao stepped forward provocatively: "This trashy restriction can be broken by anyone."
Dice Flower originally thought that it was the Demon Ancestor who broke her restriction, but she didn't expect to not see the fox demon's spiritual root.
Her disdainful expression turned serious: "You are the Demon Lord?"
Tu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more to her. She used her spiritual power to attack her. Her golden spiritual power transformed into countless golden thorns, which shot towards the evil cultivator opposite her.
The Evil Ancestor had no chance of defeating the Demon Lord. He grabbed a cultivator behind him as a human shield and retreated step by step. When he reached the small hall, he threw the human shield to Tu Xiaoxiao, activated the mechanism on the wall of the small hall, and fled towards the central area.
The corridor exit was sealed off, and a large amount of poisonous gas was released from the walls.
Huo Die, anticipating a potential disaster, cast a protective barrier as soon as the dice were moved to the small hall, shielding everyone.
The poisonous gas kept spewing out. Huo Die threw out a golden talisman, which burrowed into the ground to investigate. It quickly returned, projecting the scene below.
Two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) below the second floor is the third floor, and beneath their feet is a large room.
There were several large, transparent vats in the room, filled with blood of varying shades. The cultivators were immersed in the blood, and bloodworms were crawling in and out of their bodies.
Several other cultivators were tied to bed frames or chairs, their mouths gagged, and red and black magical artifacts hanging above their heads.
The magical artifacts have blood lines connecting them to their soul cores.
The cultivators all had bloodshot eyes and looked extremely pained.
Mu Ze felt a chill run down his spine. Pointing to the cultivators tied to the chair, he said, "They are disciples of our Xiaoyao Sect. They have all been captured and used for experiments."
"The boss must be on the third floor too!"
Feng Yu and Shen Yao used wood elemental power to alter the ground structure and create a downward passage.
After all the cultivators lined up and entered the room, Shen Yao restored the upper floor to its original state.
After confirming that the cultivators whose souls had been drained could still be saved, everyone quickly untied them and cut off the soul-draining mechanism.
The cultivators whose soul power was absorbed suffered damage to their spiritual roots to varying degrees, and some even became mentally impaired.
Huo Die used his divine power to collect the spiritual artifacts and put them into a storage box, which he then instructed Feng Yu to keep safe: "Yunhe, keep them safe. Go back and study them to see what kind of experiments the evil cultivators are conducting."
Feng Yu put away the storage box, and Huo Die walked closer to several large vats. The cultivators in the vats were still alive, but they had been parasitized by bloodworms and were beyond saving.
“They’ve all become insect nests; there’s no saving them.”
Huo Die told everyone to retreat to the doorway and released divine fire to burn the large vat. The divine fire did not extinguish upon contact with the blood and water, and burned the large vat, the bloodworms, and the worm nest inside to the ground.
The cultivators were heavy-hearted, carrying the wounded, unsure of where to go.
Huo Die released his divine sense to investigate and found that there were several similar rooms next to theirs, all of which contained insect nests.
In two of the rooms, seven evil saints were conducting experiments on several cultivators.
There were two patrolling groups of evil cultivators in the corridor, their level was higher than that of the evil cultivators patrolling the second floor, and they were all evil demons.
There are two branching paths in the corridor. One is very long and leads to a blood pool. The blood pool is very large and is full of writhing blood worms.
Another path leads to a large prison cell where a fire unicorn is imprisoned. Countless bloodworms crawl out of the walls and toward the fire unicorn.
A ring of flames burned around the fire unicorn, and its body was also engulfed in flames, driving away the dense swarms of bloodworms crawling towards it.
Huo Die withdrew his spiritual sense and explained the situation outside in detail.
When Mu Ze heard him mention the Fire Qilin, he exclaimed, "It's the boss! The boss's beast form is the Fire Qilin!"
Huo Die and Shen Yao exchanged a glance. A Qilin, that's a divine beast. Liu Yucheng, the city lord of Ruifeng City, is no ordinary person.
They quickly agreed on a plan: first, eliminate the guards patrolling the corridor, kill the seven evil saints, rescue the remaining cultivators, burn down the experimental room, and then go to rescue Liu Yucheng.
Without hesitation, Huo Die didn't even need to show his face; Shen Yao and her two husbands simply went out and wiped them all out with a single move.
The seven evil saints were handed over to Tu Xiaoxiao and Feng Yu, and they were dealt with in no time.
The level advantage is not just a joke. Even a demon saint who can take on two opponents of the same level is nothing but trash in the eyes of ancestral cultivators and venerable cultivators.
They burned down all the experimental chambers and fought their way to the prison.
It was incredibly hot in the prison. Two evil ancestors, along with four evil saints and four evil demons, stood guard outside, all wearing ice crystal magic items around their waists to cool off.
Seeing the large number of intruders, one of the evil ancestors blew a warning whistle and provoked, "Keep the great demons for transformation, and capture the rest to use as insect nests."
Tu Xiaoxiao sneered, "You think you can compete?"
The other evil ancestor was more cautious and released his spiritual sense to investigate: "Eldest sister, he is a demon lord."
Shen Yao had already secretly used her golden finger to complete the energy accumulation. A sound of wind breaking rang out, and the evil ancestor who was blowing the alarm whistle was about to speak when his head was hit by a wind cone and a big hole was punched in it.
Tu Xiaoxiao was very familiar with this move; Shen Yao had used it when killing the Biyan Beast King. At the time, she said it could only kill exotic beasts, but she never expected…
Before Tu Xiaoxiao could even be shocked, he launched an attack without waiting for the other evil ancestor to check.
The rescued level six and seven cultivators and the wounded were of little use rushing in. Huo Die cast a barrier to protect them: "Those above level five, follow me!"
The opposing team was in a panic because they were missing one of the Evil Ancestors, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
Tu Xiaoxiao defeated one evil ancestor with ease, Feng Yu and Huo Die dealt with the other four evil saints with equal ease, and Shen Yao, along with Mu Ze and the other two demon saints, also had no problem dealing with the four evil demons.
The battle was an overwhelming victory; the evil cultivators never expected that City Lord Liu had such powerful external support.
Tu Xiaoxiao broke through the prison cell's protective barrier, and countless bloodworms surged towards the doorway.
Huo Die unleashed divine fire, which crackled and popped as it burned the bloodworms, instantly creating a passage for the fire qilin.
The fire qilin was finally rescued, transformed into Liu Yucheng's appearance, and flew swiftly out of the prison.
The divine fire intensified, and the cell was teeming with bloodworms, making the pungent, acrid smell of burning even stronger.
When Dice Flower arrived at the prison with a large number of evil cultivators, they saw that the high-level cultivators who should have been trapped in the second-floor corridor had already rescued Liu Yucheng. It was too late for them to turn around and escape.
"Good timing! I've been wanting revenge!" Liu Yucheng shouted, summoning his Spirit Martial Spirit Auspicious Fire Spear, and leaping towards the dice.
With the help of the other cultivators, Dice Flower was killed in a short time under the combined attack of Tu Xiaoxiao and Liu Yucheng. Even though the other evil cultivators were numerous, they could not escape their inevitable death.
The cultivators charged towards the second-floor arena, causing the gamblers to scatter and flee. They rescued Anan and some other cultivators in the arena, slaughtered the evil cultivators on the second floor, captured some more gamblers, and then marched towards the first floor.
The gamblers who fled the arena were only concerned with their own escape, and did not inform the other gamblers as they passed through each floor.
The underground casino was finally wiped out, Dice was captured alive, a large number of gamblers were arrested, and the guards patrolling outside the tree hole were all killed.
While Liu Yucheng and the others were dealing with the aftermath, Huo Die led Shen Yao and her sons-in-law back to the third basement level, and walked through the longest corridor all the way to the end.
Huo Die opened the door at the end of the corridor. Behind the door, in a huge pool of blood, countless blood worms writhed and crawled, making everyone's scalp tingle...
