Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

Someone in the crowd shouted in horror.

Gu Sheng instinctively wanted to avoid it.

The man in black seemed to have set his sights on him. He suddenly turned his horse's head and rushed straight towards Gu Sheng!

"Hahaha, what a delicate and tender little white face!"

The man in black laughed wildly, and a powerful aura suddenly burst out from his body.

Gu Sheng stood there motionless, with coldness in his eyes.

He saw through the black-clothed man's cultivation level at a glance.

He is at the Nascent Soul stage, but his foundation is weak and his spiritual power is extremely mixed. Compared with the disciples of the holy land, there is a world of difference.

"Big brother, run!" The little boy stuck his head out of the door of the inn again and shouted anxiously.

"If we are caught by Nie Shan, we will be dead!"

"Shut up!" The boy's father covered his mouth and pulled the child back to the inn in horror.

Nie Shan? Gu Sheng remembered the name in his mind. It seemed that this person was the son of the city lord.

"Boy, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

Nie Shan reined in his horse and stopped in front of Gu Sheng, looking down at him with contempt in his eyes.

Gu Sheng looked up calmly.

"I don't know you, why should I kneel?"

"Hahaha!"

Nie Shan laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke.

"In Linyuan City, I, Nie Shan, am the heaven! You have to kneel if I'm told to!"

As he spoke, he suddenly jumped up from the horse and slapped Gu Sheng with his palm.

The palm wind was fierce and carried a fishy smell, and it was obvious that the person was practicing some evil skills.

Gu Sheng could have easily avoided it, but he pretended to be defeated, staggered back a few steps, and a look of panic on his face.

"what are you up to?"

"doing what?"

Nie Shan landed with a grim smile.

"Of course I'm using you to practice my skills!"

He turned and shouted behind him.

"Someone, surround this guy!"

It was not until then that Gu Sheng realized that he was surrounded by more than a dozen guards.

Among them were the two people who had just brought him into the city.

"What do you and they mean by this?"

Gu Sheng questioned the two guards in horror.

"I was kind enough to give you the spirit stones to lead the way, and this is how you repay me?"

"Hahaha!"

Nie Shan laughed wildly.

"In Linyuan City, the words of my Nie family are the law! Boy, if you want to blame someone, just blame your bad luck for entering the city at this time."

There was a cold light in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"Do you and your team often capture foreign cultivators like this?"

"It doesn't hurt to tell you."

Nie Shan said proudly.

"My father is practicing the 'Nine Yin Soul Devouring Technique' and he only needs one more cultivator to gather ninety-nine. It just so happens that you have come to my doorstep. God is really helping me!"

Nine Yin Soul Devouring Technique?

This is clearly an evil magic skill that requires devouring the souls of ninety-nine cultivators before it can be perfected.

No wonder this Linyuan City looks prosperous, but is actually full of weirdness.

"Get him!"

Nie Shan gave the order and the guards rushed forward.

Gu Sheng wanted to take action immediately, but changed his mind after hearing what Nie Shan said.

He pretended to be defeated and was pinned down by the guards.

"Hmph, that's all."

Nie Shan kicked Gu Sheng contemptuously.

"Take him to the dungeon and I'll deal with him after I see my father."

Gu Sheng was tied up and escorted to the City Lord's Mansion by four guards.

As the distance got closer, the smell of blood became stronger.

The gate of the City Lord's Mansion slowly opened, revealing the deep courtyard inside.

Gu Sheng was pushed through several corridors and came to a rockery.

The guard pressed somewhere on the rockery, and the ground suddenly cracked, revealing a staircase leading downwards.

"Go!" The guard pushed Gu Sheng roughly.

The stairs were narrow and steep. The further down you went, the stronger the smell of blood and mold became, mixed with an indescribable stench.

An iron door appeared at the end of the stairs.

"Go in!" The guard kicked Gu Sheng in.

Gu Sheng staggered into the dungeon, and before he could stand firm, he heard a burst of terrified sobbing.

When he looked up, the scene before him made his blood freeze instantly.

All the people locked up in the dungeon are girls!

From children aged four or five to girls aged fifteen or sixteen, they were densely packed into a dozen iron cages.

Most of them were dressed in rags, looked pale and thin, and their eyes were full of fear.

When they saw Gu Sheng being brought in, some of the younger ones started crying out of fear, while the older ones trembled and hugged each other.

"Please let them go."

A girl about twelve or thirteen years old pleaded tremblingly.

“I’m willing to do anything.”

Why aren’t there any girls in the city anymore? They’re all locked up here!

"What are you looking at!"

The guard pushed Gu Sheng hard and locked him into an empty iron cage.

"Stay still and wait for Master Nie's decision!"

The guards locked the cell door and left, cursing.

Gu Sheng tried hard to calm the anger boiling in his chest.

asked softly.

"Were you and the others captured by the Nie family?"

The girls in the cage looked at him in horror, and no one dared to answer.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not from the Nie family."

Gu Sheng tried his best to make his voice sound gentle.

"I was captured by them, just like you and them."

After a long silence, an older girl in the cage opposite spoke timidly.

"Are you really not here to select people?"

"Choose someone?"

"What do you mean?"

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes.

"Every seven days, Master Nie would come and pick a girl to take away. Those who were taken away never came back."

Gu Sheng clenched his fists unconsciously, his nails digging deeply into his palms.

Thinking of what Nie Shan said about the "Nine Yin Soul-Devouring Technique", I suddenly understood something.

Those girls were probably being used as "materials" to practice evil skills!
"Are you and the others from Linyuan City?"

Gu Sheng asked, suppressing his anger.

The girl nodded.

"All the girls in the city over the age of ten have been captured. I... I've been here for three months!"

Three months!
This means that the evil deeds of the Nie father and son have been going on for quite a long time.

"My sister is only eight years old!"

A thin girl in the cage next to her suddenly burst into tears.

"They said they would take her away when she turned ten."

The girl couldn't continue speaking and burst into tears.

Her crying seemed to open the floodgates, and the dungeon was suddenly filled with sobbing.

Gu Sheng closed his eyes, and his sister's innocent smile appeared in his mind.

If it was her who was caught. If it was her who was locked up in this dark dungeon.

The suppressed sobbing of girls could be heard from the cell next door.

Suddenly, a girl rushed to the iron bars and shouted at the guards.

"You beasts! You and your friends will not have a good death!"

"Little bitch!"

The guard grinned, pulled out a whip, and whipped hard through the iron bars.

"Snapped!"

A whip flashed out, and a blood mark suddenly appeared on the girl's face.

She screamed in pain and fell to the ground, but still glared at the guard stubbornly.

"If you scream again, I'll beat you to death!"

The guard threatened fiercely, "Be quiet, or they will be in trouble tomorrow!"

Gu Sheng clenched his right hand unconsciously.

He almost couldn't help but take action, but his reason told him that now was not the right time.

He was not clear about the city lord's strength, and rash actions would only harm these innocent people.

After the guard left cursing, Gu Sheng walked over to a white-haired old man and squatted down.

"Old man, are you and the others all cultivators?"

The old man smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Otherwise, why would the Nie family father and son be here to capture cultivators to practice martial arts?"

"What is the city lord's cultivation?"

Gu Sheng asked in a low voice.

The cell suddenly became quiet, and all the prisoners looked at Gu Sheng in horror, as if he had asked some taboo question.

"What do you ask for this?"

The old man looked around nervously, confirming that the guards were not nearby before continuing.

"No one knows the exact answer. Everyone who has seen him take action is dead!"

A middle-aged man with scars all over his face in the corner suddenly spoke.

"At least at the peak of the Underground Palace Realm, or possibly even the Heavenly Palace Realm."

Heavenly Palace Realm! Gu Sheng's heart sank.

Although he is gifted, he has only been practicing for a short time and is currently only in the initial stage of the Underground Palace Realm.

If the city lord is really at the Heavenly Palace level, the chances of winning a head-on confrontation are slim.

"When will we do it?"

Gu Sheng continued to ask.

"Tomorrow," the old man's voice trembled.

"Tomorrow at noon, when the Yang energy is at its peak, they will need the souls of ninety-nine cultivators and the blood of nine hundred and ninety-nine virgins."

Gu Sheng looked grim.

He had heard of the Nine Yin Soul Devouring Technique, which was an extremely vicious skill in the evil world. It required devouring a large number of cultivators' souls and young girls' essence and blood before it could be perfected.

Once successful, the power of Qingsheng City Lord will skyrocket, and he will be even more difficult to deal with.

“I think they have to find a way.”

As soon as Gu Sheng opened his mouth, the old man grabbed his wrist.

"Forget it!"

The old man's eyes were full of fear.

"No one can escape from here. The old demon Qingsheng has set up a net of heaven and earth in the City Lord's Mansion. A few days ago, a Taoist friend in the middle stage of the Underground Palace Realm tried to resist, but was sucked dry."

Gu Sheng gently patted the old man's hand.

"Rest first and recharge your energy."

As the night deepened, the sobbing sounds in the dungeon gradually subsided, but Gu Sheng had no desire to sleep.

He sat cross-legged in the corner, circulating the spiritual energy in his body, suppressing his breath to the lowest level, while carefully sensing everything around him.

Something seemed to be moving under the City Lord's Mansion, and a cold energy fluctuation could be vaguely felt.

Gu Sheng tried to extend his spiritual sense to investigate, but when it touched the wall of the cell, it was bounced back by a sinister force.

“Prohibited.”

Gu Sheng thought to himself.

"And it is a restriction specifically targeting divine consciousness."

This further confirmed the extraordinaryness of the Lord of Qingsheng City - the one who could set up such a restriction must be at least a strong man at the peak of the Underground Palace Realm.

Just as day broke, noisy footsteps were heard outside the dungeon.

"Get up! Everyone, get up!"

The guards kicked and banged on the cell door violently.

"Today is a good day. I will take you and the others to see the King of Hell!"

The cell doors were opened one by one and the prisoners were dragged out roughly.

The girls were dragged out of the cell crying, and the few who resisted were whipped by the guards until their skin was torn.

"Be honest!"

A guard grabbed the white-haired old man by the collar and dragged him out.

"It is an honor for you and them to be a part of the City Lord's magical power!"

Gu Sheng did not resist and allowed the guards to escort him out of the dungeon.

They came to a huge square, which was supposed to be the training ground of the City Lord's Mansion, but now it had turned into an evil altar.

The stone pillars were arranged in a special formation, with a girl tied to each pillar.

They were shivering in the morning breeze, their faces full of tear marks.

"elder sister!"

A little girl suddenly started crying.

"Sister, save me!"

Gu Sheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw the brave girl from yesterday tied to a stone pillar not far away, with whip marks on her face.

She tried hard not to cry.

"Don't be afraid! Sister is here."

Gu Sheng clenched his fists unconsciously.

The cultivators were brought to the center of the square, where there were larger stone pillars covered with dark red blood, and it was obvious that they had been used many times.

"Get up!"

The guards pushed Gu Sheng and tied him to a stone pillar.

As soon as the rope touched his skin, Gu Sheng felt a cold breath trying to invade his body.

Immediately mobilize spiritual power to resist while maintaining a weak appearance.

"Have you checked everything?"

came a familiar voice.

Nie Shan strode into the square with an excited smile on his face.

"Are all the people present?"

"Master, there are ninety-nine cultivators and nine hundred and ninety-nine girls, not one less!"

The head guard replied flatteringly.

"Good! Good!"

Nie Shan's eyes were fanatical.

"Father will be here soon, and we're ready to start the ceremony!"

As the sun rose higher, the girls' cries gradually turned into desperate sobs, while most of the cultivators looked ashen, with their eyes closed, waiting to die.

At this time, the earth shook slightly.

"coming!"

Nie Shan shouted excitedly.

"Father is out!"

At the end of the square, a huge stone door slowly opened, and a strong smell of blood gushed out.

Gu Sheng saw a bloody figure floating out from behind the stone gate.

He was a tall middle-aged man wearing a blood-red robe and had a sinister face.

Suspended in mid-air, its body was surrounded by blood-red mist visible to the naked eye. Every time it moved an inch, a slight explosion sound was heard in the air.

"Welcome the City Lord!"

All the guards knelt down in unison with their foreheads touching the ground.

The Lord of Qingsheng City ignored them and glanced at every girl and cultivator.

When he saw Gu Sheng, he paused slightly and frowned slightly.

Gu Sheng immediately suppressed his breathing to the lowest level, and even his heartbeat slowed down to almost stop.

I've read in the holy land's scriptures that high-level monks can judge their opponents' strength by their life breath, so he must hide himself completely.

"Welcome to the great success of my father's divine power!"

Nie Shan knelt on the bluestone slab with his forehead pressed against the ground.

"The time has come."

The Qingsheng City Lord's voice was hoarse.

"Begin the ritual."

A look of fanaticism appeared on Nie Shan's face.

"Start a fire! Lift the alchemy furnace!"

Following his order, dozens of guards slowly entered the square pushing a three-meter-high bronze furnace.

The surface of the furnace was engraved with hideous ghost faces, and a faint green flame was burning at the bottom of the furnace. Even if one was dozens of feet away, one could still feel the chilling heat.

"no, do not want"

The girl tied to the stone pillar suddenly cried out.

"My lady, save me."

The cultivators were still able to remain somewhat calm, but the girls had completely collapsed.

The Lord of Qingsheng City turned a deaf ear.

The evil energy around him surged, and dark mist poured out from his seven orifices, covering half the sky in the blink of an eye.

The sunlight was blocked and the square fell into an eerie darkness, with only the green fire in the alchemy furnace providing some light.

The spiritual power in Gu Sheng's body was circulating quietly.

It is noted that every time the Lord of Qingsheng City absorbs a blood bead, the evil energy around him will fluctuate briefly. (End of this chapter)
