Chapter 152 Hope(1/2)

The next morning, Zhou Tong went out of the door, rose up in the air, and flew towards a mountain.

The secret disciple who built the Killing Cave to practice cursive techniques was born in Tianjian Peak. However, the Killing Cave was not located in Tianjian Peak, but in a small mountain outside the Nine Peaks.

After a while, Zhou Tong slowly fell from the air and appeared halfway up the mountainside of a pitch-black mountain.

The entire mountain is covered with yin energy, covered by a faint gray mist, and the sun is gone all day long, with a hint of chill.

Zhou Tong looked up and saw a square paved with black rocks in front of him. At the end of the square, there was a dark cave.

On the cliff wall above the cave, the knife and axe carved three blood-colored words "Killing Cave", exuding a bitter and solemn meaning.

"It is said that this mountain did not look like this at the beginning, but the secret disciple spent a great price to transform the mountain, and then it became like this, with a big deal."

Zhou Tong exclaimed in his heart and raised his foot to walk towards the cave.

When he arrived at the door, two short and fat disciples on duty wearing the outer door of Tianjian Peak stopped him.

"This junior brother, I don't know why I came here?" The short disciple clasped his fists slightly.

Zhou Tong also clasped his fists at him and explained his purpose with a smile.

"Oh? So, did the junior brother take over the task of the executioner?" The chubby disciple seemed a little surprised.

"Yes, but is there anything wrong?" Zhou Tong raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Not right."

The chubby disciple looked at Zhou Tong and said:

"But, my junior brother is so young and has such cultivation. Logically speaking, the talent should be quite good. For some well-known reasons, only disciples with talent below the Xuan level are allowed to accept the task.

But I didn't expect my junior brother to meet the conditions..."

Identity tokens are used to receive tasks. The identity token contains some basic information about disciples. Since Zhou Tong can accept this task, it proves that his talent must be below the Xuan level.

Speaking of this, the chubby disciple showed a hint of apology on his face and said:

"Of course, even if my junior brother is not that talented, he must have outstanding achievements at a young age."

Zhou Tong looked calm and explained, "Senior Brother, my qualifications are indeed worse, and I can't say that my extraordinary qualities are. It's just that I have obtained some opportunities and taken treasures to successfully break through to the extreme."

The chubby disciple suddenly realized and said:

"So that's it. Come with me, I'll take you to see our inner brother Yan Songyan who guards the Killing Cave in Tianjian Peak."

As he said that, the chubby man turned around and walked into the killing cave with Zhou Tong.

The short disciple was still on duty outside the cave.

As you walked into the cave, a humid breath rushed towards you. The passage in the cave tilted to the ground, and some moonstones with glimmering light were embedded on the top of the passage.

As we walked down, we had already reached about ten feet below. There was a clear view of the moment before our eyes, and a flat land appeared.

Cells were built on both sides of the land, all black and flashing with a faint light of inspiration.

Zhou Tong looked up and saw that in the cell, there were evil ways with disheveled hair and some strange monsters, bound by torture instruments with sparkling light, and wailing in a low voice.

When the demons saw someone coming in, they immediately roared, cursed and smiled sinisterly.

For a moment, all kinds of gloomy and resentful voices were endless, making people feel inexplicably irritated.

"The Killing Cave is divided into three levels. The first level is the evil paths and demons in the early stage of the extreme realm. The second level is the middle stage of the extreme realm, and the third level is the late stage of the extreme realm. Our current location is on the first level."

The chubby disciple introduced to Zhou Tong: "You are now in the early stage of the extreme realm, so you will be assigned to the first level to kill the evil paths and demons in the early stage of the extreme realm."

Zhou Tong asked tentatively: "Anyway, evil spirits have no power to resist. I want to earn more contribution points. Can I apply to serve as a prisoner on the second and third levels?"

"Junior brother, don't make mistakes!"

As soon as Zhou spoke, the chubby disciple's face suddenly became cold. He stared at him and said coldly:

"Although the evil spirit has no power to resist, when facing demons and evil spirits with different cultivation levels, the resentment and evil spirits they bear are different. Even if you kill something with a lower cultivation level than your own, under the action of the formation, the resentment and evil spirits impact are extremely strong and you must be treated with caution.

Sometimes you feel nothing is wrong on the surface, but in fact you have been influenced by subtle influence, and maybe you will cause a disaster at any time.

Although the contribution point is good, talent is the most important thing. Junior brother must not say this again in the future!”

Although the other party's words were fierce, Zhou Tong knew that the other party was kind and was not angry, so he hurriedly folded his fists and accused him of the crime.

With Zhou Tong's current cultivation level, the demons in the early stage of the extreme realm can already give him great help. When his cultivation level breaks through in the future, it will be too late to apply to enter a higher level.

Seeing that Zhou Tong did not stubbornly refute, the chubby man's expression calmed down.

"Senior brother, I see that there were many evil ways and demons in prison just now. Why didn't they kill them in time?" Zhou Tong asked.

"This, on the one hand, is that there are not enough staff. Now, in the first floor, you only have five people, and most people are unwilling to take on such tasks. To be on the safe side, each person only needs to kill five people a month. If he kills too much, he will easily lose control under the impact of resentment.

The second is that there is a special formation of cholera mind arranged in each cell.

You have just seen that those evil demons and ghosts are like crazy when they see us. That's because under the action of the formation, their negative emotions will be seduced and moved.

Therefore, after those evil demons are imprisoned, they will not be killed immediately, but will first cultivate their evil spirits and resentment under the action of the formation."

Zhou Tong nodded slightly and asked again: "Each person can only kill five people every month, so can't he kill more?"

"Junior brother, your idea is very dangerous! Others can kill five people, achieve their goals, and get the contribution points. Do you want to kill more?" The chubby young man looked a little unfair.

Zhou Tong coughed lightly and said quickly:

"Senior brother doesn't know that I am from Qiuye County outside. The evil demons and ghosts in our hometown are causing trouble, causing the people to live in poverty. Some of my companions also died tragically at the hands of the evil Tao, so I hate the evil Tao to the core."

"That's how it is."

The chubby young man looked much better, and then he explained: "In fact, it is not allowed to kill more. If he has the strength to kill more, he can get more contribution points.

However, after each kill, under the impact of resentment, most people have to cultivate for several days before they can recover. They are really willing but not enough. You will know after you actually kill.

This is not as simple as you think.”

"Thank you for your reminder, senior brother." Zhou Tong said with his fists.

The chubby young man waved his hand and took Zhou Tong to the other passage opposite the cell, where some simple stone houses were built.

It looks simple, but it is arranged with a formation to isolate the yin energy and sound, which is similar to a quiet room.

"Senior Brother Yan, a new junior brother has taken over the task of executing the prisoner. I will bring him here to see you."

When he arrived at a stone house led by the leader, the chubby man stood respectfully outside the door and said loudly.

"Come in."

After waiting for about a few minutes, a sound of unimpressive anger came from the stone house.

The chubby young man brought Zhou Tong to the door and pushed in.

I saw a young man wearing golden clothes and hard facial lines sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, looking at them calmly.

"Meet Senior Brother Yan!"

Under the leadership of the chubby young man, Zhou Tong hurriedly saluted the young man.

After a few simple conversations, Zhou Tong walked out of the stone house with the chubby young man.

The senior brother Yan Song was a little serious, but he seemed to be pretty good.

Then, Zhou Tong himself chose an empty stone house from the stone house behind and lived in it.

A moment later, there were four more people in Zhou Tong's stone house, and they were the other four executioners on the first floor.

Just now, they found a newcomer. After Zhou Tong had met Senior Brother Yan Song, they all came over to chat.

Zhou Tong found that the faces of the people present were a little gray and looked less healthy.

Among the four people present, two were in the early stage of the extreme realm like Zhou Tong, while the other two were in the late stage of the extreme realm.

Several people briefly introduced themselves, and even though they had some understanding.

"Hey, although being an executioner is a chore, the contribution point is indeed much higher than doing other tasks, and it comes in a stable way.

Every time I am a prisoner for one month, I will take some simple tasks to cultivate for two or three months, and then enter the killing hole. Now, this is the tenth time I have entered the killing hole as a prisoner.”

A middle-aged man with a brown face smiled and said, "When I go out this month, the contribution points I have accumulated will be almost enough. You can buy some elixirs for breaking through the extreme realm.

I am not afraid of laughing at you brothers and sisters. I am from a small family. In order to support me in practicing, the family has devoted all the efforts of the whole family.

Unfortunately, I am not very talented enough. Although I was lucky enough to break through the extreme realm, there was no possibility of becoming a celestial realm.

My combat power is not comparable to those of those genius fellow disciples, so I simply don’t want to break through. Now, a clan brother in my family is also in our Taicang Sect, and he is a reserve disciple.

Although his qualifications are not very good, similar to mine, as long as he can break through this time, our Li family will have two extreme places. In a small place like ours, he can still gain a foothold."

While speaking, the middle-aged man named Li Ming's eyes were full of anticipation.

Generally speaking, the outer disciples who entered the Killing Cave are all the lowest group of people in the outer sect. They all share the same sympathy and can be regarded as sending a group to keep warm, and they don’t have so many things to hide when they speak.

At the beginning, they were all surprised to see Zhou Tong so young. After hearing Zhou Tong say that he had been lucky enough to break through, they all realized it.

Listening to their chat, Zhou Tong learned that Li Ming and Chen Xuan, who were present in the early stage of the extreme realm, came here not to gain more contribution points to help them practice, but to the younger generations of the family.

This made Zhou Tong feel a magical feeling. They were obviously extraordinary with powerful power, but they seemed to be no different from those middle-aged people who worked hard for their family in their previous life.

The ideas and other things are almost the same.

It seems that no matter how powerful it is, sometimes people have the same pain.
To be continued...
