Peerless Taoist

However, when these voices entered the ears of the patrolling cultivators outside, they did not cause any ripples on their faces. It was as if these cultivators were already familiar with this kind of thing.    

Lu Yu stepped into the main hall. A luxurious soft couch immediately appeared on the ground, and the surroundings were filled with all kinds of fans, incense burners, and other things. The entire main hall was decorated in a magnificent manner.    

However, what did not match the entire main hall was a metal torture platform in the distance. A young cultivator was tied up and his entire body was beaten until his flesh was torn apart. He was on the verge of death.    

There were over a hundred people kneeling on the ground in the distance, and their bodies were tied up with heavy chains. Their cultivation levels were all sealed, and they were looking at the scene in front of them in fear.    

There were also countless strange instruments of torture arranged around the torture platform. Many of the bloodstains on the instruments of torture had not dried up yet. It was obvious that someone had been treated inhumanely here not long ago.    

"Why are there so many cultivators here?"    

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze suddenly fell on the man sitting on the throne in the middle of the main hall.    

The man was extremely young, and he was also very handsome. However, there was a sinister look hidden in his eyes. He looked down from above and interrogated the people below with a questioning attitude. He was playing with a jade scepter in his hand, and he revealed a cold smile on his face. His entire person exuded a cold aura.    

"Alright, stop it! If you continue, he will be killed."    

The young man suddenly waved his hand, and the cultivators immediately put away their whips and stopped the torture.    

However, the person who was tied to the execution platform had already lowered his head, and he couldn't even say a word. He was already on the verge of death.    

Looking at the cultivators who had their cultivation levels sealed, the young man sneered, "Speak, why did you all come here? This is the core area of the ruins. Those who don't know the situation here will not be able to reach here. What secret did you all grasp? Hurry up and call them over."    

Just as he finished speaking, a cultivator who was kneeling on the ground roared angrily, "Ye Xuan, if you have the ability, kill us. We will not tell you anything!"    

"Puchi!"    

Just as the cultivator finished speaking, his entire head exploded, and countless pieces of blood and flesh flew out in all directions.    

The young man casually raised his finger, and his face still revealed a cold smile, "I don't want to waste my breath on you. If you don't say anything, then you can all die."    

Such a ruthless method immediately shocked many people present.    

The cultivators all trembled. No matter how profound your cultivation level was, when faced with death, it was inevitable for you to feel fear.    

"Ye Xuan? It should be the Senior Brother Ye that the disciples of the Transcending Heaven Sect outside are talking about. In that case, the surrounding war puppets are all controlled by him. This person's strength is actually Yonghou King! Since when did the Transcending Heaven Sect have so many experts?"    

Lu Yu silently looked at the situation and realized that the one with the strongest luck was the person sitting on the throne, Xiang Xuan.    

His luck was extremely strong, and it spread to the surroundings to strengthen the other disciples.    

This was the same method as the Ancestral Dragon Technique, but Lu Yu's method was to make the Great Qin Dynasty prosper, and then use the golden dragon of luck from the dynasty to give each of the ministers enough luck.    

In comparison, this method of Xiang Xuan was inferior.    

The silence in the hall did not last long. Xiang Xuan's patience seemed to be quite limited. He waved his hand and said, "Since you don't want to say it, there's no use in keeping you here. Men!"    

Following Xiang Xuan's order, more than a dozen cultivators from the Heavenly Path Sect walked out from the surrounding doors. Each of them had a cold smile on their faces, and their swords were unsheathed, covered in blood.    

The crowd immediately became restless. Many people realized where the blood came from.    

"From now on, every fifteen minutes, one person will be randomly killed. You have to kill them slowly. You have to kill one person every fifteen minutes."    

Xiang Xuan looked handsome and valiant, but no one expected that such vicious words would come from his mouth.    

This was almost no different from a death sentence.    

Everyone present revealed a look of fear on their faces. Many people were even trembling.    

"Wait, I will hand it over, and you will let us all go!" Suddenly, a man gritted his teeth and stood out.    

"Senior Brother Cui!"    

"Senior Brother Cui, that is a treasure that Master instructed us to give to them. We must not give it to them!"    

The disciples were shocked and quickly cried out.    

However, even more people chose to remain silent.    

Compared to the treasure that Master had instructed them to give, their lives were still the most important thing in this strange world.    

The man who was called "Senior Brother Cui" let out a long sigh and did not explain much. Suddenly, a waist plate appeared in his hand.    

The waist plate looked exactly the same as the waist plate in Lu Yu's hand. However, the pattern on it was only at the level of commandant.    

Lu Yu saw it clearly. This waist plate must have been hidden in the man's internal universe. They must have been searched before they were brought here. However, if it was hidden in the internal universe, it would be very difficult for others to discover it.    

"Good! Very good!"    

When Xiang Xuan saw this waist plate, his eyes lit up. He raised his hand and grabbed it.    

Seeing the waist plate in his hand being taken away, Senior Brother Cui's eyebrows trembled violently. However, he did not dare to say anything.    

The surrounding disciples also let out a series of sighs.    

In order to obtain this waist plate, they had lost a large amount of manpower and expended a lot of energy. Only then did they be able to upgrade the grade of the waist plate.    

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this waist plate had fallen into the hands of someone else.    

"Now, can you let us go?" Senior Cui said in a deep voice.    

"Oh? Did I say I was going to let you go?" Xiang Xuan suddenly smiled playfully, "You guys from the Heavenly Thunder Sect are quite interesting. To think that you young cultivators would be so childish! Since you fell into my hands, why would I let you go?"    

"Xiang Xuan, do you really want to fight to the death?"    

Senior Cui said angrily, "I know that what you need is not just the waist plate, but also the treasures that I have obtained."    

"If you don't let us go, I will perish together with that treasure, and you won't be able to obtain anything! Do you really think that I don't know anything?"    

These words revealed Senior Cui's true trump card.    

This was his true confidence.    

In this ruins, there were still many treasures from the War Ancestor Dynasty, as well as many magic treasures of the Demon Clan. Only by suppressing these magic treasures could one obtain a promotion in grade.    

What Xiang Xuan wanted was obviously not just the waist plate, but also the magic treasures of the Demon Clan that Senior Cui had.
