However, Ji Biao didn't know what Lin Han, who was taken away by Yuntian Sect, was going through when he and Yan Li were heading towards the place where they were fighting.

When Lin Han woke up, he felt as if his whole person had been dismantled, and all his limbs and bones did not obey the call, and after the collapse of the long-term sleep, the pain began to rise.

His shoulders seemed to be pierced, all the wounds were scorching, the heavy smell of plasters lingered around his body, the room was very dark, the bedding under him was very rough, this didn't seem to be like a room, more like a cave that had not seen the light of day for a long time, emitting a musty smell, the simple beds in the darkness were like graves, the surroundings were as silent as death, Lin Han only heard his weak breathing.

The torture during the interrogation had completely destroyed his meridians, and he could not even get the aura in his body to run for a cycle. The wound on his shoulder was like two huge holes, and all the aura ran there, and all of it leaked out.

His spiritual sense did not improve at all, it was still like a stump that had been cut down, but a little fiery red bud appeared on the stump at this moment, like a little flame. Lin Hanxian thought that this was a precursor to the recovery of his spiritual sense, but after careful investigation, his heart suddenly sank.

That little sprout is not so much a newly sprouted filament of spiritual consciousness as it is a parasite. Lin Han's own spiritual sense was golden, and now it was dimmed, as if it was about to wither. However, under this little shoot, there were countless fiery red roots, which were rooted in Lin Han's spiritual consciousness like spider webs. It even spreads along the meridians like blood vessels......

Lin Han had to suspect that this thing should be a ghost that Yun Tianzong had done on him.

He was in his disbelief when he heard a "squeak", as if the wooden door at the entrance of the cave had been pushed open.

He immediately closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, reached under the blanket, and fumbled for the storage gourd he was carrying.

Sure enough, the spirit gourd was emptied, the little fat fish was gone, and in the other gourd, the elixir spirit stones were basically looted, leaving only a little half-dead thin elixir. Not a single decent magic weapon, let alone a weapon.

He could only wait in fear for the person who opened the door to come in.

The figure of the man seemed to be a woman, very thin, dressed in black, the moment he pushed the door open, the sunlight outside shone in, although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Lin Han to take a general look at the surrounding situation.

This cave is not big, but it is three zhang square, and the four walls of the cave are all mud, which is not like a natural formation, and should be excavated manually. There were more than a dozen beds in the cave, all of them were very simple, the mattresses were all gray, and only a few people were lying down, and their breaths were very weak.

The woman was holding an oil lamp in her hand, the light was very dim, her face seemed to be wearing a bronze mask, and her clothes were very plain, so that she could not tell her age. She inspected the wounded in the other beds one by one, and then walked to Lin Han's bedside.

Lin Han's heart was beating fast, and he closed his eyes tightly, not daring to show anything unusual.

After that torture, he no longer believed that there would be even a good person in the Cloud Heaven Sect.

But the woman's reaction was beyond his expectations.

She chuckled coldly.

"Don't pretend, I know you're awake. Her voice was cold, and she sounded close to middle age. Lin Han was startled, and as soon as she wanted to get up, she pinched her chin and poured a bottle of cold liquid into it.

The liquid was cold to the bone, like chalcedony, but with the fragrance of medicinal herbs, Lin Han didn't have time to distinguish how many elixirs there were, and the middle-aged woman let go of her hand.

"This is the Seven Turns of Ice Spirit, and if you drink it, the Fire Thorn will wake up. The first day was a bit hard, and it was up to you to make it up. Report to me tomorrow at midnight, and your assignment for this month has been delivered. ”

Before Lin Han understood the meaning of her words, she had already turned away.

"Wait......" Lin Han stood up, wanting her to stay, and asked where he was now, what was the situation, who knew that as soon as he said two words, there seemed to be a flame gushing out of his throat, burning him to exhale in pain, and curl up in a ball on the bed.

At the moment when the seven turns of ice fell into his stomach, a monstrous flame ignited in his body, and the fiery red shoots parasitic on his spiritual consciousness grew wildly as if they had been awakened, and countless fiery red thorns with spikes spread everywhere in his body, and this heartache was ten times more tragic than the torture he had just experienced.

However, this pain also seems to be rewarding.

In the agony of suffocation, he was shocked to discover that the thorns that had spread in his body had replaced the filaments of his lost spiritual sense, and that he could control them to check his surroundings in the same way that he controlled his own spiritual sense, as if his damaged spiritual consciousness had returned.

Lin Han struggled between joy and pain for a long time, and finally fell asleep-

When he woke up again, someone was wiping the cold sweat from his face with a cloth towel.

Under the faint lamplight, Lin Han saw that the person who was taking care of him seemed to be a very delicate girl, no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, very white, but very weak, her wrists were as thin as if they could be broken, and her expression was very quiet.

"Are you awake?" she smiled at Lin Han: "My aunt said that you can wake up in one night, I don't believe it yet, I have never seen anyone who can wake up in one night after planting firethorn." No wonder my aunt said you used to be a spiritual genius......"

"Who are you?" Lin Han still didn't let down his guard: "The aunt you said was the one who gave me seven turns of chalcedony." What is firethorn? Where is this?"

The girl was amused by Lin Han's loud question.

"Yes, the person you're talking about is Aunt Xuanfeng. This is the Cloud Thorn Temple, and we are in the Cloud Heaven Sect. Firethorn was sent by the sect to give us those who have made mistakes, so that we will not run, we can only stay in the Cloud Thorn Temple, and obediently complete our monthly tasks. ”

Lin Han keenly captured the key words in her words.

"Mission?

"The task assigned by the sect ......" The girl was very surprised when she saw Lin Han puzzled: "It's to refine spiritual weapons for the sect, people like us who are familiar with formations, and the task that they usually fly to is to draw magic circles on spiritual weapons." Why, when you were sent here, no one sued you?"

Lin Han already understood what she meant.

"I'm not from your sect, I've been caught here. He asked very calmly, "My name is Lin Han, what is your name?"

"My name is Lingxi, Xiao Lingxi. The girl smiled at Lin Han without any scheming: "My spiritual sense is injured, so my aunt didn't arrange a task for me this month, but asked me to follow her to do some chores...... By the way, why don't you live with me, you're new here, I can take care of you, and maybe help you with a little bit of a task. ”

Lin Han was embarrassed, in fact, he purely had a white and weak skin, so he attracted the attention of these girls. In the past, Ji Wei didn't feel that he was viciously by his side, but now he is alone and always injured, so there is always a little girl who volunteers to help him.

"This ......"

Lin Han was about to excuse himself, when he heard a loud bang suddenly coming from outside the cave, which seemed to be emitted by a huge bell, and the bell slowly rolled through the cave like thunder. Both were distracted.

"It's not good, it's already early days, I'll take you to Aunt Xuanfeng, and I'll introduce you to the situation of Yunjian Temple on the way. ”-

Following Xiao Lingxi to Elder Xuanfeng to receive the task and came back, and wandered around the Cloud Thorn Temple, Lin Han finally figured out the basic situation of the Cloud Thorn Temple.

Lingxi is a very simple girl, probably because she has been under the protection of Elder Xuanfeng, and she is very naïve about human feelings. But these inside stories came out of her innocent mouth, and in Lin Han's ears, there was a different kind of cruelty.

Although he had already experienced that torture, Lin Han was still shocked by Yun Tianzong's cruel methods.

In the entire Cloud Thorn Temple, there were a total of hundreds of Yuntian Sect people who were punished here-the reason why I said this was because there were not only disciples of the Cloud Heaven Sect, but also guilty elders. And these people, without exception, are outsiders.

The only person in the Cloud Thorn Temple who came from within the Yuntian Sect was still defeated in the factional struggle.

Outside the Cloud Thorn Temple, the Cloud Heaven Sect squeezed those foreign disciples and used them to cultivate the Cloud Heaven Sect's own henchmen. Once they have a rebellion, or even just openly express their dissatisfaction, they may be beaten into the Cloud Thorn Temple and planted with fire thorns. forcibly squeezed their spiritual sense, assigned them a large number of tasks every month, took away the array weapons and spiritual weapons they made, and sold the spirit stone treasures, but they all became the property of Yuntian Sect.

Such a sect, judged by the standards of so-called justice, should have perished long ago. However, it is one of the four largest sects on the Vermilion Bird Continent today, and the rich Cheng dù is second only to Luofu Mountain, which sits on the immortal spirit vein. Such a sect ruled by terror and power has grown far stronger than other sects in recent decades.

Lin Han had always been pessimistic about human nature, long before he came to this world, he had seen the great power unleashed by the evil energy of human nature, and in Yuntian Sect, he had once again seen the power of these methods.

Looking at the entire Yuntian Sect, there were less than a few thousand clan members, ruling over nearly 100,000 foreign Yuntian Sect disciples and elders...... But these people are still trembling and loyal.

This scene is a bit ironic.

In contrast, although this Cloud Thorn Temple was gloomy and miserable, at least it was not so disgusting.

After Lin Han received the task, he followed the spirit rhino around the Cloud Thorn Temple. The topography of Yuntianzong is very unique, it is said that it was once a shallow sea, connected to the East China Sea, tens of thousands of years ago, a meteor fell here, the flames on the meteor evaporated the seawater of the entire sea area into clouds and mist, and the majestic aura was entrenched here, and it did not disperse after 10,000 years. The impact cracked the earth, and many lighter cracks floated into the clouds under the buoyancy of the aura, becoming islands in the sea of clouds.

And the Cloud Thorn Temple is one of these isolated islands.

Lin Han followed Lingxi to the edge of the Cloud Thorn Temple to see, beyond the high wall was a churning sea of clouds, and a fiery red chain could be seen piercing from the bottom of the island and disappearing into the sea of clouds.

"That's the chain that the sect uses to lock us up. Lingxi rode on the wall and innocently told Lin Han: "If there is no such chain, we will keep floating up and up until no one can find us." ”

When she said this, her clear eyes looked at the blue sky, full of yearning. The wind in the sea of clouds carried a moist smell of the sea, blowing her clothes flying, and Lin Han believed the place she imagined almost for a moment.

But he quickly adjusted back.

The Cloud Thorn Temple is just a prison that oppresses its own people. And what really locked these people was never the iron chain, but the fire thorn that was rooted in flesh and blood and replaced spiritual consciousness. His spiritual sense was very damaged, and even Concubine Yao said that he had to recuperate slowly, but Firethorn only took a day to help him repair it. Such a powerful thing must have side effects, if Lin Han guessed correctly, the seven-turn chalcedony that Lingxi said that he could only receive by completing the task should be the antidote to the once a month attack of firethorn.

And when they sat on the wall and watched the people coming and going in the Cloud Thorn Temple, Lin Han also found that many people's expressions were very sluggish, and Yan zhòng was like a walking corpse.

"What's wrong with those people?" he asked Lingxi, frowning.

Lingxi was pouring out the elixir from a small jade bottle, eating it like a bean.

"Oh, those people have been in the Cloud Thorn Temple for a long time, the one in black is the Ink Pattern Elder, who has been in for five years, and the two in Tsing Yi have also been in for three years. The Cloud Thorn Temple is very hard, and the firethorn attack is also very painful, most people can't last more than a year, and it's already remarkable to be able to last for five years......"

Lin Han's heart moved.

"What about you? How long have you been here?"

"I've been here since I was twelve," Lingxi didn't seem to worry about his fate, "and I'll be there for four years soon." ”
