My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

The atmosphere in Chang'an City has completely gone astray in the last two weeks.

Ever since Li Chen's melodramatic cultivation story was repeatedly shown at the Chang'an Grand Theater.

The entire population of the Tang Dynasty, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, were deeply influenced by the film.

Especially towards the end of the movie.

In order to save the world, the male protagonist was forced by the evil "Black Fiend Sect" to dig out his supreme lightning spirit root.

The tragic scene, with blood splattering across the screen and poignant music, completely broke the hearts of the people of Chang'an.

In the farmers' market.

The vegetable vendor wiped away tears as she chopped the cabbage in her hands into a bloody mess, as if the head of a villain was lying on the chopping board.

Inside the blacksmith's shop.

With red-rimmed eyes, the blacksmith swung his sledgehammer, treating the red-hot iron as if it were the Black Fiend Sect's leader, and smashed it wildly.

Too immersed in the role!

The passion and sense of justice that the people of the Tang Dynasty had nowhere to vent were completely ignited by this phenomenal film.

"As long as the Black Fiend Sect lives, the Tang Dynasty will never be at peace!"

This line, which was originally just an insignificant line in a movie, unexpectedly became the loudest slogan in the streets and alleys of Chang'an.

I don't know who started it.

Amid this wave of public outrage, countless civilian organizations calling themselves "villain extermination teams" spontaneously emerged in Chang'an.

They are not motivated by fame or fortune.

All this is to uncover those remnants of the Black Fiend Sect, hidden in the darkness, within this vast Tang Dynasty territory, and to avenge the protagonist!

……

Fifty li outside Chang'an City.

This place is called Luohunpo (Slope of Fallen Souls).

It is a desolate hill that grows nothing all year round and is not even visited by birds and beasts. Legend has it that something ominous is buried underground.

But at noon today.

This desolate wasteland was suddenly visited by hundreds of uninvited guests, all exuding murderous intent.

Leading the group was Wang Dana, the infamous pig butcher on Zhuque Street.

Following behind him were Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang from the Dongshi Street Public Security Management Committee, as well as a group of usually idle but now bursting with a sense of justice and passion.

This "villain extermination team" of several hundred people carried a wide variety of weapons.

There were shovels for turning the soil, hoes for weeding, and even rolling pins and pig-slaughtering knives.

"Everyone, stop for a second!"

Wang Dana was shirtless, his body covered in bulging muscles.

He held a second-hand "magic-finding disk" in his hands, which he had bought from a street stall in the West Market for one hundred copper coins, and his expression was extremely excited.

The pointer on the divination disc was spinning wildly.

Finally, it pointed intently to a huge black rock in the center of Fallen Soul Slope.

"It's glowing! The Dharma disc is flashing a red light!"

Wang Dana raised his butcher knife, shouted loudly, and spittle flew everywhere.

"There's definitely a demonic cultivator's underground stronghold hidden down here! It might even be the Black Fiend Sect's lair!"

"Folks, for the sake of the male lead! Dig! Dig hard for me!"

"We'll dig through the earth's veins to find the villain!"

"Kill the villain!"

Hundreds of passionate Chang'an citizens, as if injected with adrenaline, rushed forward with shouts.

For an ordinary mortal to try to dig a hole in this rocky ground as hard as steel is simply a pipe dream.

But this is the Tang Dynasty!

It's a golden age of cultivation where the spiritual energy is so abundant that even a big yellow dog on the street can live to be a hundred years old!

Although these common people did not have any orthodox cultivation techniques.

But having eaten high-yield spirit rice subsidized by the imperial court year after year and drunk well water mixed with diluted spirit liquid, they were all incredibly strong and powerful.

"Clang! Clang!"

The shovel struck the rock, sending sparks flying.

Amidst the rising dust.

This group of people doesn't follow any formations or feng shui principles; they rely solely on their brute strength.

In just half an hour, they dug out a huge sinkhole that was ten feet deep!

Just as everyone was digging enthusiastically...

"Clang—"

Aunt Li's hoe suddenly struck a strange stone slab that was neither metal nor wood.

The immense recoil made her hands go numb.

Followed by.

A crisp sound, like ice shattering, echoed from the deepest part of the earth.

"Click...click..."

Along with the cracking sound, a bone-chilling cold air instantly spread through the soil.

The surrounding temperature plummeted to below freezing at that moment.

"What's going on? Did we dig up an ice cellar from the previous dynasty?"

Aunt Li paused for a moment, then reached out and touched the hoe handle, which was covered in frost.

Before she could react...

"Boom—!!!"

The entire Fallen Soul Slope began to tremble violently without warning!

The earth, like a spider web struck by a heavy hammer, cracked wildly in all directions.

Thick, inky black gas began to gush out from the enormous, shocking cracks.

"Oh my god! The earth has turned over!"

The villagers were startled and hurriedly dropped their farm tools, scrambling up the pit walls.

The very next second after they evacuated the pit.

"boom--!!!"

A deafening roar that shattered the heavens.

An intensely dark demonic aura, like a reversed black waterfall, burst through the rock layers on the ground and pierced straight into the sky!

The once sunny Luohunpo was instantly shrouded in this demonic aura.

Day turns to night!

A sudden gust of wind arose, and dark clouds gathered.

In the void, it seemed as if thousands of vengeful ghosts were wailing mournfully, causing one's mind to break.

This is not a special effects villain from a movie at all.

This is a genuine statue.

The ancient demon lord, who was sealed deep within this earth vein for thousands of years by the ancient people of the Tang Dynasty with the help of the great power of heaven and earth!

This demon's original name was "Blood Slaughter Ancestor".

Three thousand years ago, he was a giant who dominated this world of cultivation.

He single-handedly slaughtered twelve righteous sects and refined countless geniuses into blood pills.

Ultimately, this provoked the wrath of Heaven, leading to the combined efforts of three peak Nascent Soul stage experts, who sacrificed nine top-grade spiritual treasures.

That was the only way to barely manage to severely injure him and seal him tightly within the earth vein formation of Fallen Soul Slope.

Three thousand years!

It was dark and without light, devoid of any luster.

The raging fire from the earth's veins and the fierce winds of the formation eroded his demonic body day and night.

And today, this invincible and terrifying formation...

A group of middle-aged women with shovels and a butcher actually dug a hole in it from the outside, causing the spiritual energy to leak out and the formation to collapse!

"Gagagagagaga—!!!"

A piercing laugh, like that of a night owl, filled with endless arrogance and savagery, emanated from the center of the black demonic storm.

Followed by.

A gaunt, hunched black figure exuded a terrifying pressure that distorted the surrounding space.

Slowly, it floated up from the abyss below the ground into the air.

The ancient demon has been brought back to light!

The old demon wore a blood-red robe that had rotted into tattered strips.

A head of dry, white hair danced wildly in the cold wind.

His eyes, which were sunken deep in their sockets, suddenly opened, shooting out two bloodthirsty red beams.

"Three thousand years..."

The old demon took a deep breath of the free air, which smelled of earth.
