Pull!
Tang Xin grabbed a black sphere.
[Torture Interrogation Compendium: A collection of various demonic methods to torture and interrogate people, with evil and cruel content. Those with low psychological endurance should not practice.]
It doesn’t sound like a good thing, definitely not something to cultivate.
[You have learned “Torture Interrogation Compendium.”]
“?”
Hey, just by taking a glance, I learned it?
With a feeling of speechlessness, Tang Xin once again reached into the light cluster.
[Heart-Eating Insects Hand: Causes physical harm to the person while making them feel the pain of heart-eating insects, causing the opponent to mentally collapse.]
[You have learned “Heart-Eating Insects Hand.”]
Wait a minute, does this mean I have to learn all the demonic techniques?
Crack—
While she was thinking this, cracks suddenly appeared on the statue below the altar.
The formation covering this area began to flicker, and the ground started shaking abnormally.
Is there a problem with the cave space?
Well, this is a common plot development. After obtaining a treasure, the instance will be damaged, not leaving anything for future generations.
“Which one is it?”
Tang Xin said in a deep voice.
In the spiritual space, the owner of the cave reminded her to communicate with them using “demonic thoughts.”
But what exactly are demonic thoughts?
I don’t care, let’s give it a try!
She closed her eyes and reached out her arm again.
“Fall into depravity…”
“Be destroyed…”
“Become the nightmare of all living beings…”
Countless voices echoed in Tang Xin’s mind at the same time.
For a normal person, they would instantly go crazy under the “intrusion” of these desires. But for her, it was just like children making noise in her ears, having no substantial impact.
Each voice corresponded to a black bead.
And there was one bead that had never made a sound from beginning to end.
Tang Xin clenched it in her hand.
【You have obtained “Demon Desire Heart Sutra: Fragment”】
【Main quest completed, reward: advancement in realm】
Found it!
What appeared in Tang Xin’s hand was a piece of torn paper with strange symbols on it.
This time, the Demon Desire Heart Sutra was not directly “learned,” probably because this fragment could not be considered a complete technique.
Click—Boom—
As the Demon Desire Heart Sutra was obtained, the collapse of the statues and formations became more severe, with violent tremors causing numerous stones to fall.
It would be very dangerous to continue staying inside.
Tang Xin put away the sutra and prepared to wake up a few people below.
Suddenly, Shangguan Qing’er opened her eyes and appeared on the altar.
This guy also passed the test of the cave owner?
“Tang Daoist friend is truly amazing, waking up so quickly.”
Shangguan Qing’er politely said as before.
Hold on, how could she pass the test? The test of the cave owner is obviously aimed at demon cultivators.
Could it be… Shangguan Qing’er is a demon cultivator?
Considering the poisoning incident, at that time she and Liu Mei were attacked in the hot spring, and it was she who first approached Liu Mei, which led them to the hot spring… This speculation seems to make sense.
If that’s the case, the situation is not so good.
After exchanging pleasantries with her, Shangguan Qing’er focused on the red light cluster.
She reached in and pulled out a round bead.
Boom!
The statue completely shattered, and the altar began to fall to the ground.
At the same time, the formation also collapsed, and several girls who were still in the dream woke up instantly and managed to dodge the falling rocks.
Tang Xin and Shangguan Qing’er landed back on the ground and joined the others.
Although there was a suspicion that Shangguan Qing’er might be a demon cultivator, there was no concrete evidence in her hands.
The test of the cave owner requires “demonic thoughts,” which are evil desires, but those who possess this may not necessarily be demon cultivators.
“Is it over?” Liu Mei lamented, “I haven’t been able to pass the test of the cave owner yet…”
Around them, deep ravines appeared on the ground, huge rocks fell, and there was no safe place.
The chaotic formation blocked their original path, making it impossible to retreat the same way.
“Zhou Yu, can you find a safe route?” Shangguan Qing’er asked.
“Got it, I’ll try.”
Zhou Yu formed hand seals, and a faint light appeared on her forehead.
“Follow me!”
Under the talent of “Mind’s Eye,” she avoided the traps formed after the chaos of the formation, leading everyone to slowly advance from the altar area.
“Be careful!”
A beam of light shot up on Tang Xin’s left side, and Liu Mei quickly pulled her.
“Thank you.”
Tang Xin nodded to her.
Wait a minute, if Shang Qing’er is a demonic cultivator, why would she expose herself at this time?
Either she should have gone on a killing spree while waiting for others to pass the test, or she believed she was a “teammate” and came over to give her a secret signal.
It was actually Liu Mei who seemed to have played no role from the beginning, like a decoration.
Could she be the undercover agent of the demonic path?
“Why do you look so suspicious?” Amiao looked at her with a strange look in her eyes.
“By the way, do you have any special abilities,” Tang Xin asked, “such as being able to identify who is the undercover agent, who is disguised, and so on…”
“If I had that ability, would I still need to rob in the Hundred Poison Mountain…”
The collapse of the cave became faster and faster. When they reached the barrier, the entire space had turned a dark red color.
With lightning and thunder, buildings collapsing, and fierce winds, it looked like the scene of the apocalypse approaching.
“The exit passage has disappeared,” Zhou Yu shouted against the strong wind, “but a new formation has appeared in front of us, it seems like we can be directly transported outside!”
A distorted red light formed a huge circle on the ground ahead, emitting similar fluctuations to the entrance they came in from.
A group of five people arrived at the edge of the circle.
“The space in the cave seems very unstable. I can’t be sure if this teleportation formation is normal.”
Zhou Yu solemnly reminded them.
“It’s possible to be transported to another place, or even fall into spatial turbulence…”
“No other choice,” Tang Xin said, “Life and death are predetermined, wealth and honor are in the hands of fate!”
“Since it was set up by the owner of the cave, he wouldn’t have a reason to deceive his descendants like this, right?”
Liu Mei also chuckled and said.
Tang Xin nodded, approached Zhou Yu, and whispered in a voice only she could hear.
“Your future may be related to Shangguan Qing’er. Although you may not like to hear it, I still have to remind you… Keep your eyes open and don’t let yourself get hurt.”
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, images from the dream he had before flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously nodded.
“If you need help, you can come to me… But remember, it will come at a price.”
Tang Xin smiled, jumped into the formation.
“Everyone, if we can’t be transported together, then meet at the entrance of the Hundred Poison Mountain Range.”
“Also, remember, we still haven’t found the undercover agent from the demonic path…”
