Having betrayed the righteous path and joined the demonic sect, Song Ren, now an elder of the Joyful Sect and ranked seventeenth on the Hundred Ghosts List, is earnestly speaking to someone in the prison cell.
"Brother Lu, I'm telling you, why are you so stubborn and unwilling to be flexible?"
What's the point of stubbornly holding on here?
Look at that old monk Huisi, he was too pedantic, and now he has met a tragic end, his body and his teachings have vanished.
Imagine how wonderful it would be if he were willing to compromise and cultivate with a beauty like Chi Yingluo.
But he just wouldn't let go of Buddhist doctrines.
I have said it countless times: if Brother Lu joins my Holy Sect, the benefits he will receive in the future will be endless.
Not only will you no longer suffer, but you will also receive support from the elders, and you can choose from many beauties in the Joyful Sect.
Why is it that Brother Lu can't let go of his so-called righteous dignity and refuses to say a kind word?
Upon hearing Song Ren's words, a creaking sound gradually emerged from the dark prison cell.
It looked as if someone was stretching their body inside, dragging a heavy iron chain.
Song Ren slightly raised the lantern, illuminating a small section of it.
Then you can see in the cell a middle-aged man with messy hair and a strong build, whose hands and feet are tightly chained.
His muscular body was covered in whip marks, some of which had scabbed over and then been torn open, leaving behind a variety of strange wounds. They looked like marks deliberately left after repeated torture.
It was clear that the man had been detained here for a long time.
However, his eyes still showed a sharp and fierce look.
At that moment, he stared at Song Ren and said slowly in a hoarse voice, "There's a dog barking."
Song Ren narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in the prison.
If one were an older martial arts practitioner, they would recognize that the middle-aged man chained up was Lu Yuanlong, the great hero of Yingchuan who had disappeared many years ago.
The older generation in the martial arts world all know that Lu Yuanlong and Dao Kuang Sangpo were close friends back then.
Later, for some unknown reason, Sang Po became enemies with the people of the Demonic Sect and was killed by Zizaitian. Enraged, Lu Yuanlong went to Yindu alone to avenge his friend.
After that, they disappeared without a trace.
People in the martial arts world thought that Lu Yuanlong had died in Yindu, but they never expected that he had been captured by the people of the Demonic Sect and imprisoned in the Ghost Abyss Dungeon, where he was tortured for several years.
However, judging from Lu Yuanlong's still high spirits, he seems to have a very strong will to live.
Song Ren, who entered prison after him, had already defected to the Demonic Sect, but Lu Yuanlong remained steadfast and showed no intention of surrendering.
Now, the Demonic Sect is paying more attention to Song Ren.
Because of his persuasion over the past few days, many righteous people have given up their struggle and been persuaded to surrender by his eloquence.
Therefore, he has now been given the position of managing the dungeon, responsible for guarding it and turning a group of righteous people against their cause.
However, Song Ren had tried to persuade Lu Yuanlong several times in recent days, but each time he was scolded and driven away.
Song Ren was furious with this guy, but because someone ranked high on the Hundred Ghosts List instructed him, he had to put aside his murderous intent and patiently persuade him.
"Brother Lu, oh Brother Lu, what have you been waiting for all this time? You suffer this torment every day, stuck in this dark and dreary prison. It does you absolutely no good!"
Lu Yuanlong chuckled twice, then whispered, "If you want me to join the Demonic Sect, that's fine too. You can have Zizaitian bring me his head, and I'll join the Demonic Sect without hesitation."
"you……"
Hearing his words, Song Ren became even more frustrated.
He could only say fiercely, "Brother Lu, I respect you as a senior and have always been reluctant to use harsh torture on you. Now that things have come to this, don't force me!"
"Heh... Demonic sect lackey, you spineless bastard! Go ahead and use your tricks on me, but if you can't make me happy, you'll be a dung scoop in my uncle's outhouse!"
Hearing Lu Yuanlong's thunderous roar, the group of prisoners in the cell couldn't help but cheer him on.
"Well said! Master Lu!"
"Song Ren! You spineless piece of trash!"
"Let me out if you dare! I'll rip your head off and use it as a football!"
Upon hearing this, Song Ren became furious and immediately roared, "Shut up, all of you!"
But the louder he spoke, the more he appeared to be all bark and no bite.
And the shouting outside grew louder.
So at this point, he could only order his demonic disciples to bring whips and lash Lu Yuanlong's body hard.
Although Lu Yuanlong was beaten black and blue, he laughed even louder.
"Haha! That was great! That was great! You little puppy, did you not eat enough? Why are you so weak? Use the same strength you had when you suckled your mother's breast!"
Song Ren's face turned pale and then red, his expression contorted with rage.
But at that moment, a disciple suddenly came in and reported to him, "Elder Song, an elder from the sect has come and said he wants to go into the prison to take someone out."
Song Ren took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He then asked the disciple, "Which sect do you belong to?"
"The Joyful Sect!"
Song Ren then turned his head and said, "Please come in."
"Hey Hey……"
Lu Yuanlong spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and laughed at Song Ren, "The little dog's master has arrived, why don't you kneel down and welcome him in..."
Song Ren glanced at Lu Yuanlong with a sinister look, but said nothing more.
He simply threw down the whip and quickly arrived at the dungeon entrance.
At that moment, a woman dressed in black and wearing a black veil walked in from outside.
Upon meeting Song Ren, she casually showed him the elder's token in her hand.
He is indeed an elder of the Joyful Sect.
Song Ren immediately smiled, because the dungeon was mostly under the control of the Joyful Sect, and he was considered a half-disciple of the Joyful Sect.
He then asked the woman before him, "May I ask who this elder is, and what his purpose is?"
The woman casually replied, "Lady Chiyingluo's flesh sacrifice failed last night. A ruthless fellow came to Xunhuan Cave and turned the old monk and his body into mincemeat. So she sent me here today to select another monk to send to her."
Song Ren had heard about this matter from his disciples who were taking over the shift before, and his smile grew even brighter.
So he said, "I see, I understand. Should I choose a monk for the elder, or should the elder go in and take a look himself?"
The woman then said, "I'll go in and take a look. Chi Yingluo has picky tastes, and what you chose might not suit her taste."
Judging from her casual tone, Song Ren suspected that she had an extraordinary relationship with Chi Yingluo.
His smile widened, and he quickly invited the woman inside.
After walking deeper into the prison, the woman casually looked around.
Seeing the miserable state of the righteous people imprisoned in the cells, he frowned secretly.
Then, he casually asked Song Ren, "I've heard that this godforsaken place of yours has been quite busy lately. Besides my Joyful Sect, have any other sects come here recently?"
Chapter 345 Thank you, Ringo
Upon hearing the woman's words, Song Ren was about to reply.
However, after glancing at the other person, he felt inexplicably that they were unfamiliar.
So he smiled and asked, "Speaking of which, I also spent some time in the Joyful Sect and became quite familiar with many of the elders. But I don't think I've ever seen you before? May I ask which department you hold in the sect now?"
The woman's expression shifted slightly, but she did not show any particular reaction.
Instead, she simply said, "It's normal that you don't recognize me, after all, I've been serving the Holy Maiden for the past few years, running around with her."
They only recently returned to the Underworld.
Upon hearing this, Song Ren smiled and said, "So that's how it is... No wonder I haven't informed you before..."
However, Song Ren did not notice anything amiss at this time.
Instead, he led the way, saying, "Elder, this way please."
The woman nodded, and then walked forward with him, soon entering the depths of the dungeon.
The terrain here spirals downwards, with a spacious prison cell every few steps.
At the very bottom of the stairs lies the infamous Three Hells.
However, the place the two were going to was not the Three Prisons, but a large prison where many monks were imprisoned.
Arriving outside the prison, Song Ren looked inside with a lantern and saw many ragged monks chained up.
The monks included both old and young monks, and many of them showed signs of panic when they saw the two approaching.
Song Ren then smiled at the woman and said, "Elder, which one here do you like better? I'll clean you up and send you to the Pleasure Cave."
The woman glanced around and seemed quite dissatisfied with the monks inside.
He then turned and looked at the other cells, casually asking, "Are all the people in these cells righteous?"
Song Ren nodded and smiled, "Yes, they're all ungrateful bastards."
The woman seemed to suddenly understand something and then asked, "Who is the most powerful person here? Who is the most difficult to deal with?"
Song Ren did not answer, but his eyes subconsciously looked toward the cell where Lu Yuanlong was.
Seeing this, the woman turned and walked towards the dark cell.
When I arrived at the cell door, the lights were dim.
In the darkness of the room, a fierce, predatory gaze appeared.
Although she didn't utter a word, the murderous intent in her eyes, undiminished by the darkness of the prison, made her appear extremely satisfied.
"Open the door. I want to take a closer look."
Upon hearing this, Song Ren quickly stepped in front of the woman and said, "This is unacceptable, Elder! He cannot be sent to the Pleasure Cave. Lord Zizaitian specifically requested that his life be spared."
"I said, open the door."
The woman's expression remained unchanged, but her words carried an indescribable threat.
Upon hearing this, Song Ren's expression turned dignified.
He suddenly narrowed his eyes and said to the woman in front of him, "I can open the door, but do you have a warrant issued by the sect leader?"
What is a command signal?
The woman's eyes seemed to hold a hint of curiosity.
Song Ren was taken aback upon hearing this and immediately said, "You, as an elder of the sect, don't know Ling Xin?"
At this point, he became alert and clearly realized that the person in front of him was suspicious.
But then, the other party suddenly raised his hand.
Song Ren was extremely alert and immediately took a step back, placing his hand on his waist.
The woman simply raised her hand and casually ripped off the black cloth covering her face.
It seemed that she found the fabric difficult to breathe, making her uncomfortable.
At this moment, the woman's face was revealed, and it was none other than Chi Junlin.
She then smiled at Song Ren and said, "Originally, if you had behaved yourself, I was planning to spare your life. But since you've said so much, I can't let you live."
"you!"
Song Ren's expression froze, and he felt inexplicably humiliated.
No matter what, he was a figure on the list of a hundred ghosts. Although he had betrayed the demonic sect, he was still a prominent figure in the righteous path before he turned against it!
At this moment, Song Ren grinned maliciously and continued, "Although I don't know who you are, I suppose you've come here to save someone!"
"I'd like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve to dare come here all by yourself!"
Having said that, he immediately drew his long sword from his waist and thrust it toward Chi Junlin!
At this moment, Chi Junlin saw that the long sword in Song Ren's hand was winding like a long snake, and it had nothing in common with the weapons used by ordinary people.
He chuckled and said, "Fancy and gaudy."
