Chapter 85: Purgatory
The divine sense mark on the Qingxu Sword given by Elder Wu was wiped out the moment Zhang Ning entered the secret realm, so how to get through the trick now depends on his acting skills.
After coming to Elder Wu's bamboo tower, Zhang Ning felt the tremor of the soul bell, and he was on guard.
Elder Wu sat on the throne and asked with a feverish look in his eyes, "Did you get it?"
Zhang Ning nodded, and threw out a mutated tomato obtained from the secret realm and shot it at Elder Wu.
Elder Wu stretched out his hand to take it, staring at the tomato suspiciously, and was just about to open his mouth to ask, when an iron ruler without a sword tip and blade attacked from behind him.
Elder Wu smiled evilly: "Little thief, there is really a fraud!" Immediately his robe agitated, the steel ruler was blocked, and he could not advance an inch, and his momentum soared, Zhang Ning instantly felt the pressure.
Zhang Ning offered the goblet, and the pressure decreased, but it was still slowly rising.
Zhang Ning was always on guard against Elder Wu's other magic weapons or tricks. Who knew he had just been accumulating aura. And his face became more and more hideous.
After a few breaths, Elder Wu's face was already bright red, and Zhang Ning tensed his nerves extremely nervously.
"Bang!"
Elder Wu burst like an egg in a microwave oven.
The goblet blocked the bone residue and minced meat, but the scene still made Zhang Ning's heart palpitate.
The vibration of the Dementor Bell was even stronger, and although he should have run away as soon as possible, Zhang Ning cautiously followed the clues to the back rooms.
The backroom was a study, decent, but the vibration of the dementor bell was directed at an inkstone on the bookshelf.
Zhang Ning tried various methods to crack it to no avail, and finally he thought of something, took the blood of the witch elder and cast a spell seal, and finally opened the secret passage in the bookshelf.
Zhang Ning walked down the stairs, a disgusting aroma filled the entire passage, Zhang Ning hurriedly held his breath, the goblet that had not been removed could not completely block the smell, if there was no protection, it was no less than an entity attack.
When he arrived in the basement dark room, Zhang Ning froze on the spot and gasped.
A small basement was divided into several cells by a thunderbolt iron fence, each locked with a ragged or even inch-free person, all of whom were covered in bruises, and were even chained by thunderbolts and twisted to the point of not being human. Lei Jingtie would release thunder and lightning from time to time, and the people in the prison were not only physically devastated, but also extremely nervous mentally, so according to Zhang Ning's observation, several of them were already insane.
There were dark red and black blood stains everywhere, and the sweet aroma could no longer hide the bloody smell here.
He slowly approached the first room on the left hand side of the cell...... , because the Dementor Bell has been guiding the way in that direction.
“... Sheet...... Ning ......"
A woman with a blurred face in the cell said.
Zhang Ning was taken aback, and carefully identified that the woman who had been knocked out of her mouth full of teeth was actually Cui Zhen, the sister of Cui Yang, who he had a relationship with when he first entered the mountain gate, the concubine of Elder Wu a year ago.
Zhang Ning hurriedly used a steel ruler to split the prison door, and in Cui Zhen's vague narration, he learned of Elder Wu's demonic deeds.
Not only did he often kidnap the low-level beautiful female disciples of the sect, but he also didn't let go of the beautiful boys of the outer sect.
Cui Zhen wanted to let these victims go when she found out, but she was discovered by Elder Wu and locked up here, where she was tortured. In her early years, she had obtained a demonic inheritance, which she destroyed immediately after reading it, disdaining to cultivate. And after being trapped in this place, in order to get out of trouble, he began to practice, and when he was humiliated, he secretly implanted a magic guide for Elder Wu, and after 7749 times, he was finally able to get rid of it today.
Zhang Ning guessed that the vibration of the dementor bell should be related to Cui Zhen's inheritance.
Oh, the head of Qingxuan Zhenren, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, came to the bamboo building, because Elder Wu's life card was shattered.
As soon as Qingxuan Zhenren stood still, Zhang Ning stepped forward and described the cause and effect, he ordered Zhang Ning to return to the Artifact Palace, and everything was handled by him personally, and it was strictly forbidden to spread the matter here.
Zhang Ning had already known that Miss Li, who was carrying Yang Ming's body, had been broken by Elder Sun's experiment, and now that Elder Wu was also dead, there was no proof that he had died for stealing Zhuji Dan and murdering his fellow disciples, so he could sit back and relax...... What kind of peace of mind, now it's obviously a catastrophe coming! Zhang Ning will definitely not return to the Artifact Palace. He went back to the Spirit Rune Hall directly, and he could stay there for two days to plan a way to resolve the crisis.
On the second day, Zhang Ning heard the official announcement that Elder Wu had gone out in distress and fell, and the information of the rescued disciple was unknown.
As for Cui Zhen, it wasn't until Zhang Ning returned to Qingyun Mountain many years later that he learned that on the night of Elder Wu's death, Cui Zhen obtained many magic weapons from Elder Wu and defected to the Qingxu faction. After that, in addition to his long-deceased parents and his younger brother Cui Yang in Qingyun Mountain, Cui Zhen slaughtered 502 members of the Cui family, and stabbed the scumbag Han Ren, and completely fell into the devil's way.
When the sister and brother went to find Senior Brother Han, hoping that he would be able to cultivate into a great success after he came out of retreat, the patriarch was forced to stop coercing Cui Zhen to marry Elder Wu as a concubine, who knew that the scumbag did not dare to offend Elder Wu, and persuaded Cui Zhen to obey, so that Cui Zhen was disheartened and married into the devil's cave......
