Purgatory

Chapter 468 Meeting an Old Friend
Inside the Demon Abyss.

The blue-black sky is like a curtain replacing the original sky, making people feel even more depressed.

Looking up at the sky, Pang Jian could no longer see the scorching sun hanging in the sky, and had a weird feeling of suddenly falling into another time and space.

Standing at the edge of the demonic abyss below, he felt the vague spiritual power and released his spiritual consciousness to see into his surroundings. Suddenly he found that the range of his spiritual consciousness had become extremely limited.

There was an invisible magic power that rippled outward from the center of the Demonic Abyss, limiting the coverage of his consciousness.

That kind of magic also has the power to arouse evil in people's hearts and amplify all kinds of evil thoughts in people's hearts.

Wu Yuan stopped and asked, "How do you feel?"

"My perception is limited, and I have the power to confuse people's hearts. It seems that I want to persuade people to do evil." Pang Jian answered truthfully.

"Well, this is still the realm farthest from the magic stone. The deeper you go and the closer you get to it, the greater the pressure you will bear. Don't worry, let's go down slowly and I will take you to get familiar with the magic abyss."

Wu Yuan's usually dull face revealed an expression of relief.

Pang Jian followed up slowly and said, "Where does your sudden relief come from?"

Wu Yuan, who deliberately slowed down his pace and did not walk in the air, said as he walked: "I was originally worried that when you entered the bottom of the Demonic Abyss, you would have an evil thought against me in your heart."

"Perhaps these evil thoughts are just because the Demon Sect and Jianlou are in conflict, which makes you wary of me."

"It's also possible that after being instigated by the source demon, you thought that I would eventually be captured by the image of He Motian's god in the purple demon's eyes, and you had some thoughts of killing me to eliminate future troubles."

"As long as there is a little evil intention from you against me, no matter how small it is, it will continue to grow as you get closer to the magic stone."

"Yes, it exists, and it will grow bit by bit. It cannot be changed by humans."

"If not, then there is none. That magic stone will not make you create something out of nothing, nor will it make you have evil thoughts out of thin air."

"..."

Wu Yuan, who had his back to Pang Jian, had a smile on his lips.

He is the lucky one who has been recognized by the magic stone and allowed to practice the magic stone technique. In the mysterious magic abyss, he can detect the evil thoughts in the hearts of people around him.

Especially regarding his evil thoughts, he has the keenest sense.

He had a detailed understanding of Pang Jian and was convinced that Pang Jian didn't even have the slightest evil thought towards him.

This fully shows that Pang Jian's attitude towards him is the same as his attitude towards Pang Jian.

After half an hour.

From the border of the Demonic Abyss, Pang Jian went deep into the central Demonic Stone and felt that the aura of the Origin Demon became more and more active in the small world in the sword.

As he continued to go deeper, he became more and more intuitively aware that the pressure released from the extraterrestrial magic stone was gradually deepening.

Not long after, a broken city palace full of traces of time came into view of him and Wu Yuan.

The palace complex, whose shape is obviously different from that built by the human race, has collapsed and broken into shape. At a glance, there is not a single complete stone palace.

But Pang Jian felt familiar.

The six great caves and secret realms that the demon lamp once condensed included palaces and suspended secret realms. The demon gods inside seemed to be worshiped by demons from all over the world.

The crumbling palace in front of you has the same architectural style as the palace shown in the secret realm.

"They belong to the Demon Scale Clan."

When Wu Yuan saw him stop and look at the collapsed ancient city, he said: "3 years ago, the people of the Demon Scale Clan, as well as some other branches of the Demon Clan, built the city around that piece of magic stone. The noble Demon Scale clan members all live in the city inside the Demon Abyss."

"After the victory of the human race, the true god of the human race and the demon god of the demon race worked together to destroy everything here. Because the magic stone always releases magic power and tests people's hearts, we human cultivators will not stay in the demon abyss for a long time."

"Only those who want to temper themselves and their hearts will go down to the Demon Abyss and try to get close to the Demon Stone."

Wu Yuan continued to walk forward, his pace suddenly quickened as if he discovered something.

Pang Jian didn't look any further and hurriedly followed.

On the blue-grey ground, a group of richly dressed children from aristocratic families were cut into pieces and left on the ground.

The pungent smell of blood permeated the air, and mutilated limbs and pieces of flesh were scattered everywhere. The scene was extremely cruel.

"These are the Zhao family members who are attached to our Demon Sect."

Wu Yuan looked as usual, not surprised at all, and calmly explained: "The Demon Abyss occupies a very wide area. Although our Demon Sect has built many defense arrays, it is difficult to cover everything and prevent everyone from getting involved."

"There are families who are attached to us, and after getting our permission, they allowed them to go down to the Demon Abyss and try to get close to the magic stone. There are also well-known casual cultivators and disciples from other sects who sneaked in regardless of our advice."

"This is the path they chose to cultivate their minds. We can't control that much. They should also have the awareness of death."

"As for those who died..."

Wu Yuan frowned and continued: "There is a mixture of people in a team. If someone has evil intentions and is difficult to suppress, and grows wantonly as the Li Demon Stone continues to approach, it will lead to such consequences."

Pang Jianqi asked: "Are you saying that this killing was caused by their insiders killing each other?"

"Mostly."

Wu Yuan crossed the cruel bloody land and led Pang Jian deeper, saying: "There are also powerful loners who suddenly burst out with evil thoughts and will kill everyone they meet."

Next, Pang Jian passed through more broken cities and saw more horrific death scenes.

He also found that some people couldn't bear the evil thoughts in their hearts, and they turned around and left in time for fear that they would become possessed and lose control. "These are the smart people."

Wu Yuan watched a person running away crying, and said: "From the edge to the magic stone in the center, you can really reach the magic stone. There are not many people standing under it to admire it."

"Many people will die along the way, some will wisely leave, and some will stop."

"Those who have the honor to look up to the magic stone have nothing to do with their level of realm, but rather their heart."

"Back then, there were hundreds of people in our group, advancing towards the magic stone from different sides. When we finally arrived at the magic stone, there were only five people standing under the magic stone."

"I'm one of them."

"The other four people were sitting under the magic stone like me, and three of them died silently. There was also one person who knew that he could not survive until the end, so he left wisely."

Wu Yuan talked about the cruel past with an expressionless face.

A few hours later, the two saw more and more dead people. Many of the corpses were split into two pieces by sharp blades.

At this time, Wu Yuan frowned slightly and said, "That's not right. It doesn't look like they killed each other, but more like they were hunted to death by the same person."

"clang!"

The sound of heavy weapons being struck came from the ruins of the distant city.

The two ignored it.

With their consciousness limited, they immediately rose into the air and flew towards the broken ancient demon city.

A huge blue-grey bell was placed upside down on the ground in the city, blooming with radiant light.

On the bell wall, there are unicorns swimming vividly, forming many defensive arrays in conjunction with the bell patterns.

"Kirin Clock!"

Pang Jian shouted in surprise.

"Do you recognize it?" Wu Yuan asked in surprise.

Pang Jian shouted: "Li Jie, are you in there?"

A familiar voice came from the familiar Kirin Bell: "Who are you?"

"Pang Jian, Pang Jian from Bagua City!"

"Wow wow wow! It's you who came to the Demon Abyss, hahaha!"

The man who struck the big bell had already gone away. When the man inside heard Pang Jian announcing his name, he hurriedly ordered the Kirin Bell to hang in the air.

The person huddled at the bottom of the clock is none other than Li Jie of the Tianbao Li family and Li Yuqing's younger brother.

Unlike the flashy and luxurious Li Jie who entered the Demonic Abyss to sharpen his mind, he only wore a storage ring.

Although he is tall, he still looks a little chubby, but his eyes are bright and clear.

With a smile of extreme surprise on his face, he waved hello vigorously and shouted: "Pang Jian, I have heard about you a long time ago! I have seen the battle between you and the female warrior of the Demon Scale Tribe in the Xuantian Divine Mirror. To think that you have become Li Zhaotian’s apprentice!”

"I think back then, when we were undergoing trials in Bagua City, you were only at the Marrow Cleansing Realm."

"By the way, I gave you a lot of body-tempering juice. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about my sister. The person in that dark alley is my sister, right?"

Li Jie, who reunited after a long separation, jumped up and landed on the recast Kirin Bell.

He stamped his feet and waved his arms, recounting the past events between the two of them, and said: "I knew you must be extraordinary, but I still didn't expect you to be so outstanding. Your current level is higher than mine."

"Hey, I'm only at the Soul Traveling Realm, and you're already at the Nirvana Realm."

He took out a bottle of green juice, inserted it into the reed stalk as a habit, and sucked on it. He took a big sip and seemed to have finally recovered.

"Are you Wu Yuan?" His face darkened, he glared at Wu Yuan dissatisfied, and said, "I entered the Demon Abyss to cultivate my mind with the permission of your Demon Sect. Why would any disciple of the Demon Sect want to kill me?"

Wu Yuan said: "Anyone who enters the Demonic Abyss will have many evil thoughts and desires in their heart amplified. Approaching that Demonic Stone is like approaching the most evil side of one's heart."

"The person who attacked you may not like you and just wants to kill you."

"It's also possible that there is something he wants in you and he can't control his greed."

He was telling the truth.

"No! It's not what you said! The person who wanted to kill me was definitely not affected by the magic stone! I can see that she is very clear-headed and rational, and there is no sign of going crazy and losing control." Li Jie felt chilled in his heart. , said: "She just wants to kill me and kill everyone like me!"

Mentioning that person, the genius of the Tianbao Li family who was good at refining weapons, his voice seemed to be trembling: "If I hadn't been equipped with rare treasures, most proficient in defense, and had unrivaled life-saving magical powers, I would have died long ago."

"call!"

As he spoke, he threw a bottle of green juice at Pang Jian: "Long time no see, I'll treat you to a drink."

Pang Jian took it, took a sip, and asked, "What does the person who wants to kill you look like? What kind of weapon does he use? How do you know he is a disciple of the Demon Sect?"

"That is a very beautiful woman. She wields a long serrated knife. When she uses it, her body seems to respond to the magic power. She is naturally a disciple of the Demon Sect."
