As soon as they stepped into the barrier, Pei Yun and his companions felt dizzy. In the blink of an eye, their feet were already on solid ground...

However, everything they saw shocked them. This prison was dozens of feet high, with densely packed prison caves all around, and countless humans and monsters were imprisoned in the prison caves.

The most eye-catching thing was the giant blood pool in the center. The strong smell of blood made Pei Yun almost nauseous. There was a blood refining formation above the blood pool. In the center of the formation, countless blood-colored chains appeared, binding the bodies of a group of humans...

Among these people were both ordinary mortals and some low-level monks, who were trapped in mid-air and unable to move.

Everyone was screaming and struggling in pain. The chains kept tightening, leaving wounds all over their bodies. Blood was flowing down bit by bit, dripping into the pool of blood below...

At the top of the formation was a transparent crystal stone floating. At this moment, the crystal stone was emitting a faint light, and it was continuously absorbing the resentment emitted by the people below. The transparent crystal stone was also turning red bit by bit...

After a while, after the blood of these people was completely drained, the chains loosened automatically, and the bodies fell into the pool of blood and were corroded instantly, leaving no trace.

The demon guards once again led a group of people into the formation. The faces of these mortals and monks showed numbness, begging for mercy, crying in fear, and resisting desperately...

Everything in front of me seemed like hell on earth. No! This was hell on earth!

"It's the Demon Realm Stone! The demons are actually killing innocent people here to refine the Demon Realm Stone..."

Pei Yun's grief and anger reached its peak. A huge anger and hatred instantly surged into her chest. With red eyes, she rushed forward desperately with her sword in hand...

"Pei Yun!"

"Junior Sister Pei!"

The other four followed closely behind, each fighting with the demon guards to the best of their ability.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the prison?"

"Capture them and hand them over to the leader..."

The demon guards reacted after being stunned, and surrounded Pei Yun and his four companions in less than a moment.

The mortals and monks who were being held wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but because the demons were so numerous, they quickly quelled the commotion caused by Pei Yun and his men...

However, the strength of Pei Yun and his four companions was not low. Even though they were outnumbered, they did not fall into a disadvantage. For a while, the battle between the two sides was deadlocked...

"We shouldn't stay here for long. If the stalemate continues, the high-level demons will be here soon. We must rush out as soon as possible and find the exit to leave..." Luo Rufeng transmitted a message to the four people.

"But... these mortals and monks..."

After witnessing the cruel scene just now, Pei Yun's heart still trembles. If she doesn't stop it, countless more people will suffer such a tragic death. How can she bear it and abandon them!

"Pei Yun! Luo Rufeng is right. The five of us alone cannot save them. We can only save more people if we escape and report the situation here to the temple elders as soon as possible!" Ling Ziyan said in a deep voice.

Liang Feng and Luo Qi also nodded in agreement with Luo Rufeng and Ling Ziyan's opinions.

"We should flee separately to disperse the demon tribe's forces. Once we find the exit, we should leave without coming back to inform others. Tell the guards as soon as possible and ask for help..."

Ling Ziyan glanced around as he spoke, looking as if he was trying to find a way to escape.

"Okay." The other four nodded.

Luo Rufeng glanced at Pei Yun who had calmed down beside him, and sent a message to her alone: ​​"You can use your 'invisibility technique' later, be careful!"

"Yes, Your Excellency." Pei Yun looked at him, saw the concern in his eyes, and nodded slightly.

Unexpectedly, when the five people were about to open a path to escape the encirclement, the two leaders of the demon clan arrived. Seeing the momentum of the two demon clans, everyone's hearts sank slightly, and they used their ultimate moves without hesitation...

The strength of these two demon leaders was no less than Ling Ziyan and Luo Rufeng. Together with the guarding demon soldiers surrounding them, Pei Yun and his party were caught in a tough battle...

"I will stop these two demon leaders later. You don't have to worry about anything else and run away immediately..." Luo Rufeng transmitted the message again.

"Sir!"

"Master!"

Pei Yun and Luo Qi couldn't help but become anxious. By doing this, Luo Rufeng was sacrificing himself to give them a chance to escape.

"I have the Demon-Slaying Sword in my hand, nothing will happen." Luo Rufeng said as he took out the Demon-Slaying Sword from the space ring.

"This is... you have come to the devil's cave again?"

The sword spirit and Zhenhua consciousness were also shocked by the scene before them. They now felt that their decision to follow Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng was the right one.

Luo Rufeng looked solemn. He raised the Demon-Slaying Sword in one hand and placed it in front of him. He placed two fingers of his other hand on the sword. The sword with its ancient sheen gradually began to glow. The meaning of immortality was attached to the sword, and there was also a faint sense of death lingering around it...

The next moment, a black air current flashing with golden light rushed towards the two demon leaders...

"Let's go!" At the same time, Luo Rufeng sent a message to the other four people, asking them to leave immediately.

Liang Feng, Luo Qi, and Pei Yun used their fastest skills without hesitation and each chose a direction to escape...

Ling Ziyan saw the strength that Luo Rufeng displayed at this moment, and couldn't help but marvel at it. The strength that this person displayed was no less than his. If they really fought, he was not sure that he could win...

However, this was not the time to compete. He had the highest cultivation among the five and was a disciple of Lingyao Sect, one of the ten major sects in Dongcangzhou. How could he let Luo Rufeng shoulder everything alone!

Ling Ziyan took out an ancient seal from his ring. After injecting spiritual power into it, the seal immediately grew dozens of times larger. He controlled the seal and pressed towards the two demon leaders...

"go!"

At this moment, Pei Yun and the other two had already left. While the demon leader was busy with his own affairs, Ling Ziyan sent a message to Luo Rufeng and winked at him. The two of them fled the scene at a very fast speed...

"Catch them quickly!"

"Don't let them escape..."

Pei Yun used the Sky Realm to quickly pass through the small prison cells. Occasionally, he saw that most of the people in the prison cells were robbed by the demons, and most of them were ordinary mortals. Their faces were full of numbness and despair, without a trace of life...

She took a deep breath, and when she reached a turning point, she immediately hid in the space...

"Where are the people? Where is the woman who came in?"

"Oh no! We've lost him. Let's go report to the leader..."

"Strange, I clearly saw her walking towards this side..." When the guarding demon soldier saw Pei Yun's figure suddenly disappear, he couldn't help but start looking for her anxiously.

In the spiritual space, Pei Yun sat down on the ground in a mess. It had been more than a day since he entered the dense forest. He had hardly stopped to rest. He was either running away or fighting.

But she couldn't rest at the moment. She had to find the exit as soon as possible so that she could save Luo Rufeng and the others, and also save the imprisoned humans...

"Meow meow meow!" Xiaobai came in front of her, called to her coquettishly, and lay on her legs affectionately.

"Xiaobai..." Pei Yun touched its head and took out the only remaining wisdom fruit, "...If you help me investigate the situation of this prison, I will give you this wisdom fruit when I get out..."

"Meow!" Xiaobai immediately straightened up, stared at the wisdom fruit in her hand with his round eyes, and called out excitedly.

On the Taoist viewing platform, a whole day had passed since Pei Yun and his group disappeared. The Taoist guard elder personally led his men to search the dense forest, but found nothing.

At this time, Qin Gu stood up and said: "I went to the border battlefield to investigate personally. I'm afraid these children have encountered disasters there, or entered the territory of the demons..."

"I'll go with you, Elder Qin." A temple elder beside Qin Gu also stood up.

The crowd on the viewing platform were whispering to each other. They also felt that the situation was serious and that these five people might have been in trouble.

In previous years, some contestants who entered the competition had indeed met with accidents, with the death rate being around 20%. However, the strange and sudden disappearance of Pei Yun and his four companions had almost never happened. What's more, among those who disappeared was Ling Yao sect's outstanding genius Ling Ziyan.

It would be such a pity if a genius like Ling Ziyan really died on a battlefield in the border area because of the selection for the genius list.

"Two elders, I want to go with you."

Duanmu Xu came out anxiously, ignoring the dissuasion of other elders of Lingyao Sect, and came directly to Qin Gu, "Zi Yan is my junior brother, Pei Yun is my good friend, I am very worried about their safety..."

Qin Gu paused, looked up at him, and finally nodded.

The three of them didn't use the teleportation array. Qin Gu directly tore through the space and led the two of them in...
