At dusk, night is approaching.

Flames erupted everywhere in the Crystal Flame Country, accompanied by a terrible cry of despair, and the flames that did not suddenly rise and pierce the darkness indicated that mortals were killed and cremated by Ma Li and a hundred others!

It should have been a scorching flame, but at this moment, it exuded a chill that made people's souls tremble.

There were mortals who tried to fight for their lives, because among those who were devoured by the fire and turned to ashes were their relatives and friends, who were holding farm tools and tattered knives, but before they could step forward, they were directly stunned by Ma Li's coercion.

For a whole day and night, nearly 100 people died so tragically, and it was not until near noon the next day that Ma Li returned to the ruins of the palace with a hundred elite disciples and came to Hei Huang.

Looking at the faces in front of him who were pale due to physical and mental exhaustion, Hei Huang secretly appreciated that these hundred disciples were loyal to him, even if they were suspicious for unknown reasons, they did not hesitate to choose to believe his orders.

Among them, especially Ma Li, who was the chief butler of the Divine Beast Mansion, his expression was gloomy, and his body was even trembling, but he still tried his best to pretend to be calm in the face of Hei Huang.

"Spit up?"

"Hmm!" Ma Li nodded.

"How many people have you killed?" Hei Huang's words were almost cruel to the extreme, as if he didn't take human life seriously at all, but after thinking about it, with his current position, it really should be so.

Hearing this, Ma Li was stunned, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his chest rose and fell violently as if he remembered what happened last night, and he couldn't help but retching again, his face was completely bloodless, "Thirty! They can't do anything to mortals, so I will personally carry out Lord Heihuang's orders!"

"Why?" he raised his head suddenly, his gaze stared straight at Hei Huang, his distorted and complicated expression had never been seen before, and his breath began to tremble, "I looked carefully at the wounds on my mortal bodies that were infected, they were plagues, but there was no sign of infecting others, I believe that Lord Heihuang must have the means to save them, but why do you have to end their lives in such an extreme way?"

"It's so tiring. Hei Huang's reply was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air, "I do have a way to save those mortals, even if it's just half a life, but it's going to take me too long." As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Lisha, who was curled up on the ground and had fallen asleep, and continued: "There is not much time left for us, and the source of this plague is probably very related to the poison of those centipedes, even if it is mixed with a little, it is enough to explain the situation." ”

"Fortunately, it's early, as long as I can implement my plan before the plague completely explodes, there should be time to do it!"

"Lord Heihuang, aren't we here to suppress the Jingyan Rebellion?" Ma Li was startled, realizing something else in Heihuang's words.

"I never do anything that has no reward, and Gan Yu will not do it, let alone the Yuan Shengshen Sect!" Looking at the young man with a puzzled face, Hei Huang saw his own shadow in his previous life in a trance, and still remembered that when he first stepped into this darkness, he also questioned his adoptive father like this, "You have chosen to become my supervisor, and your talent is not low, if your heart is not shaken after this incident, then you will inevitably follow me to a higher and farther place in the future, where there is neither bright sunshine nor inky blackness, and some are just chaotic ashes!" ”

"From now on, follow me, watch and study hard......"

Hei Huang rarely had the patience to speak in this kind of language.

It's not that he wants to instill his own thoughts in Ma Li, it's just that this is the case, earlier than Gan Yu ordered to give himself absolute power over the Jingyan Kingdom riot, maybe he didn't ask for anything clearly, but Gan Yu, as the temporary head of the house, of course expected Hei Huang to bring him unexpected surprises!

"Otherwise, how could I get the power and status I have in two years...... this sentence was said by Hei Huang in his heart and to himself.

He ignored Ma Li and turned his gaze to Zeng Hai and Shi Lan, who were not far away, "You two should have heard what I just said." He used some means to get the words into the ears of the two men, and the latter's reaction was completely expected, "I am not the savior, on the contrary, I will be the demon who brings you untold pain and suffering...... No, it's a vicious dog!"

"But I can give you the power to truly protect what is important!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the two changed, and their eyes burst into anger while they were angry, staring directly at Hei Huang, this vicious dog's unclear words really wanted the demon whispering behind his ears, and it had a fatal temptation.

"You...... What do you mean?"

Cultivators are either exaggerated, or they do exist to obtain the means in the way of myths and legends have long been rooted in the hearts of every mortal, and the two of them are naturally no exception, the so-called overnight, but the good story of the chicken dog ascending to heaven exists, and the reason is that he got the guidance of those 'immortals' and was able to rise to the sky in one step!

"Now go back and gather your respective people, and by the way, tell the other small forces in the main city of Jingyan that the plague is about to explode, and none of you will survive at that time! And your only hope can only be pinned on me, I can not only give you the resources to live, but also give you some of you unimaginable strength, even ......"

Hei Huang paused, his voice was not low, enough for the tens of thousands of people present to hear, looking at those eyes full of hope, he grinned, his expression was cunning and cold, "Even, these individuals who have gained power, I can take their relatives and friends to the immortal realm where the Yuan Shengshen Sect is located, and leave this hell forever!"

"Lord Heihuang, ...... you" Ma Li was shocked, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an overwhelming roar like a beast.

"Lord Divine Beast, I! Choose me! I want to gain power!" Tens of thousands of mortals rushed over like a beast that had lost its mind, and Ma Li and the hundred disciples almost didn't stop it.

They see hope to live and an infinitely bright future......

"There is a great price to pay for gaining power, and you may die...... No, it's bound to die once!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a basin of ice water poured on the heads of tens of thousands of people, but it did not extinguish the flame in their hearts, and after a short silence, they roared frantically again, "We have already died many times, what can we do if we die again?!"

"Lord Divine Beast, we are not afraid of death, as long as you speak your word, you can really take our family to the fairy land, and you can die ten thousand times!"

"Pick me! Pick me!"

......

"It's as simple as that, they won't remember what you did last night, and they will even beg you and be grateful to you. Hei Huang glanced at Ma Li, who was at a loss, and his divine sense transmitted, and then he continued to the tens of thousands of mortals: "I will give you three days, and Zeng Hai and Shi Lan will select the two of them from the more than 100,000 mortals in this Crystal Flame Main City as a powerful ten thousand people, pay attention to me I only need ten thousand people! As for how to define the so-called powerful, it is up to you to decide, I will be here in three days, and I will wait for the ten thousand most powerful warriors!"
