582: Mu Laohei

At this moment, deep within the Sect, inside a massive hall cast entirely from an unknown black metal and suffused with a rich, bloody stench.

This was the Blood Enforcement Hall! The light inside the hall was dim, with only the ghostly green fire embedded in the walls providing a bleak radiance.

The air was filled with a faint metallic tang and the lingering, almost imperceptible wails of spirits.

Inside the main hall, in front of a giant black wall,

A Nascent Soul Elder, dressed in dark red enforcement robes and possessing an aura as cold and sinister as a venomous snake, was dozing off in boredom.

This wall was none other than the Nine Nether Soul Wall!

Embedded densely upon it like stars were countless crystal-clear jade plaques radiating a faint soul light—Life Soul Jades!

Each one corresponded to a Nine Nether Sect Disciple who had left a soul imprint in the Sect.

Suddenly!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

A series of dense, crisp shattering sounds, like glass exploding,

Rang out without warning in the deathly silent hall! Like hail crashing down!

The dozing Elder jumped up with a start, looking up in horror!

He saw that in a certain area of the Soul Wall, a full eleven Soul Jades had their light extinguished instantly, like candle flames snuffed out, suddenly dimming!

Immediately after, dense cracks appeared on the surface of the jade plaques, and then with a soft "puff" sound,

They completely turned into small piles of grayish-white powder and fell in a rustle!

Eleven Soul Jades! Eleven Disciples and Elders! Instantly Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

"Hiss—!" The guarding Elder gasped a breath of cold Evil Qi, his scalp instantly prickling!

A chill rushed from his tailbone straight to his crown! Eleven Core Disciples fell at once?!

Among them was even a Nascent Soul Elder! This had not happened in the Nine Nether Sect for nearly a hundred years!

"Disaster!" He screamed out, scrambling and crawling toward the depths of the Blood Hall!

Blood Enforcement Hall, Main Hall.

The Hall Master, Permanent Nothingness, was sitting cross-legged beside a "Blood Evil Pool" that was thick like blood and constantly bubbling, Cultivate with his eyes closed.

He had a withered face and a thin frame, wearing a dark red robe that looked like congealed blood.

His body was suffused with suffocating, cold Death Qi and thick Evil Qi, and his cultivation had reached the Peak of the Void Refinement Mid-stage!

He was a true core high-level member of the Nine Nether Sect, ruthless in his methods, and in charge of life and death.

"Hall... Hall Master! It... It is bad!"

The guarding Elder rushed into the hall, his voice distorted and changed by extreme fear.

Permanent Nothingness slowly opened his eyes. They were a pair of emotionless, hollow eyes like two deep pools, as if they could freeze a person's soul.

"What are you panicking about?" His voice was hoarse and dry, like sandpaper rubbing. "Speak."

"The... The Soul Wall! The Soul Jades for the team led by Elder Bai Chi... Eleven... Eleven of them!

Instantly... eleven of them shattered! Including... including four Nascent Soul Elders, one of whom was the Black Fiend Elder!

And seven Golden Core elites! All... all shattered!" The guarding Elder spoke incoherently, his whole body shaking like chaff.

"Eleven shattered?" In the eyes of Permanent Nothingness, which had been devoid of ripples,

A trace of a very subtle fluctuation finally crossed, like ripples on stagnant water.

"What about Bai Chi's?"

"Bai... Elder Bai Chi's Soul Jade... still... still exists! It is just that the light... is much dimmer!

It seems... it seems he has suffered heavy injuries! But... but his life is not in danger!"

The guarding Elder hurriedly added.

"Oh?" Permanent Nothingness's brows furrowed slightly for the first time.

His withered fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the Blood Evil Pool, making a hollow "thud-thud" sound.

Bai Chi, Late Stage Soul Transformation. Black Fiend, Nascent Soul Perfection.

Added with three Mid Nascent Soul Stage and seven Late Golden Core Stage. The configuration of this team,

In the Eastern Region, as long as they did not actively provoke those few top-tier existences, they were enough to walk sideways!

Even against ordinary Loose Cultivators or Supreme Elders of first-class Sects in the Void Refining Realm, relying on the fierce reputation and devious methods of the Nine Nether Sect,

They might not necessarily be unable to fight, at least they would not be completely wiped out like this!

"Eleven people died instantly... Bai Chi was seriously injured and captured or trapped..."

Thoughts flashed through the mind of Permanent Nothingness, "It must be the Void Refining Realm, and definitely not someone who has just entered this realm!

Perhaps even higher... or Void Refinement Mid-stage, or was it an ambush by multiple people?"

He ruled out the latter, because the Soul Jade showed that they died instantly at the same time, and it is difficult for an ambush to be so clean and neat.

"Which force?" Permanent Nothingness's hollow gaze swept across the Void Realm, as if it could pierce through ten thousand rivers and mountains,

"Moyang Sect? Yin Yang Sect? Myriad Sword Valley?"

The four top immortal Sects of the Eastern Region, the other three were leaders of the Righteous Path, and their relationship with the Nine Nether Sect was tense,

But they would not easily dare to tear their faces so thoroughly, killing so many Core Disciples at once, this was a signal of an irreconcilable feud!

If it was not these three... could it be some hidden old monster?

Or... did someone from the Demon Realm cross the border?

Permanent Nothingness thought of many possibilities in an instant. But one thing was certain:

The Nine Nether Sect, having stood in the Eastern Region for thousands of years, with a fierce reputation, was definitely not a soft persimmon that could be kneaded by anyone!

Daring to slaughter the Disciples of the Sect like this was tantamount to slapping the Nine Nether Sect hard in the face!

No matter who the other party was, they must pay the price!

"Bai Chi is still alive... This is a clue, and also the key for our Nine Nether Sect to get back at them!"

Permanent Nothingness made a decision instantly. He flicked his finger, and a blood-colored transmission talisman disappeared into the void.

A moment later, an aura of heavy, mountain-like ferocity stepped into the hall.

The person who came was extremely tall and burly, with dark, shiny skin, as if cast from refined iron,

His muscles were knotted like dragons, full of explosive power!

His eyes were blood red, like burning charcoal, with a wide mouth and fangs, his aura violent and ferocious,

He was none other than the Junior Brother of Permanent Nothingness—Old Black Mu! Cultivation: Void Refining Early Stage!

"Senior Brother, what is the matter?" Old Black Mu's voice was as loud as thunder, shaking the Blood Evil Pool until it rippled slightly.

Permanent Nothingness was concise: "Bai Chi led a team and was killed in the Myriad Flower Spring Outing Valley area,

Eleven Disciples died on the spot, and Bai Chi was seriously injured and captured or trapped.

You, immediately take a team of 'Black Fiend Guards' and go! Find out the truth, and rescue Bai Chi! Remember—"

Cold light flashed in the eyes of Permanent Nothingness, and a blood-colored jade talisman engraved with complex space runes flew in front of Old Black Mu:

"A space fixing talisman! If you encounter a strong enemy, and the opponent is below the Void Refinement Mid-stage, solve it yourself!

If it is Void Refinement Mid-stage and above... or if the opponent is from those three families...

Immediately crush this talisman, and I will tear the space and arrive in an instant!"

Old Black Mu's fan-like big hand grabbed the space fixing talisman, feeling the majestic space power contained within it,

A hideous smile spread across his fierce face, revealing pure white fangs:

"Heh! Senior Brother, rest assured! A mere Void Refining Early Stage, under my 'Soul-Losing Magic Sound' and this 'Hundred Refinements Demon Body', is nothing more than a clay chicken or a pottery dog!

Even if it is Void Refinement Mid-stage, I can entangle with them for a while!

I would like to see, who is so blind, that they dare to touch the people of my Nine Nether Sect! I will definitely make them regret being born in this world!"

Old Black Mu's confidence stemmed from his strength.

His sound wave Law was tricky and devious, capable of directly assaulting the Divine Soul, disrupting the operation of spiritual power, causing the opponent to be unable to exert even seven tenths of their strength.

And his thousand-tempered demon body was enough to hard-shake Magic Treasure of the same rank!

Void Refining Early Stage, there were not many who could take three moves under his hands!

"Go." Permanent Nothingness nodded. He still had confidence in his Junior Brother's combat power.

Old Black Mu said no more, took a fierce whirlwind, and strode out of the Blood Enforcement Hall,

Assembling a team of "Black Fiend Guards" who were equally fierce, wearing black armor, and like moving fortresses,

Turned into several black lights that tore through the evil clouds, and headed straight for the Myriad Flower Spring Outing Valley with murderous intent!
