After familiarizing himself with the Eight Desolates Purgatory, Jiang Lan began to walk through the giant building.
There were tunnels, squares, and rooms here.
The layout of the place was pretty complicated. It was not that easy for him to navigate around here.
However, there were no other decorations. It seemed that this place was just meant for them to fight.
As he slowly walked past the corner of the corridor, a member of an unknown faction appeared before Jiang Lan's eyes.
It was a black-robed young man with black hair and red eyes. The corners of his mouth were slightly pale, and he looked slightly flustered.
He seemed to be worried about something.
His cultivation base was also at the early-stage Void Refinement Realm.
The moment he saw Jiang Lan, the other party became vigilant, as if he was prepared to attack at any time.
"I… I'll go this way." The black-robed youth pointed to the left.
Jiang Lan pointed to the right and said softly.
"Then I shall go this side."
"Then I won't disturb you any further." The black-robed youth slowly retreated.
Then he disappeared to the left of the corridor.
Jiang Lan walked to the right.
"Seems like there are still many people who want to keep a low profile."
After a few steps, he suddenly stopped because a burly man had appeared at the corner.
Their eyes met.
Without saying anything, the other party surged with power and immediately attacked Jiang Lan.
Facing the opponent's attack, Jiang Lan didn't retreat at all. He took a step forward and directly passed the burly man.
In an instant, a crack appeared on the burly man's neck and blood spurted out.
At this moment, the burly man wanted to turn his head but found it difficult to move.
Then, the light enveloped him and he disappeared.
Leaving behind a sword.
Jiang Lan put away the dagger and planned to pick up the sword.
It seemed pretty good.
As soon as he turned around, he saw the black-robed young man.
Seeing Jiang Lan looking over, the young man was at a loss. He then pointed behind him and said.
"The… the other way is a dead end. I… I intend to walk this way."
As he spoke, he immediately pointed in the direction where Jiang Lan had come from, indicating that he had no intention of attacking.
"I am going this side." Jiang Lan pointed behind them.
That was the direction he was going to go.
The black-robed youth immediately bade farewell.
He had just arrived and had just seen this Kunlun disciple instantly kill that unknown burly man.
He saw the fear in the burly man's eyes before he disappeared.
Were they even in the same realm?
This Kunlun disciple was too terrifying, but he was pretty easy to talk to.
He left quickly, hoping that the Kunlun disciples he would encounter later would be as easy to talk to as this one.
Picking up the sword and keeping the dagger, Jiang Lan continued walking forward.
He did not know how long this sword could last.
However, using the dagger just now was the best option unless he used the Power of Nine Bulls.
Of course, reality proved that other methods of killing were not as useful as the Power of Nine Bulls.
If it was the Power of Nine Bulls, he was confident that he could kill it with a single punch.
The Black Peak Tower would not even be able to save the other party in time.
Unfortunately, this was just a guess. If there was no absolute need for him to use the Power of Nine Bulls, he would not use it.
If he didn't finish the job properly and allowed the other party to escape, he would be exposed easily.
After walking for a long time, Jiang Lan felt someone staring at him from behind.
Turning around, he saw that there were three more people at the other forks.
They looked at Jiang Lan as if they were about to make a move.
"I'll go this way." Jiang Lan pointed to the back.
If these three wanted to leave, he could let them.
There were two men and a woman, and all of them were at the Early-stage Void Refinement Realm. All of them were dressed in different attire, so they were most likely a team formed from a temporary alliance.
"A Kunlun Disciple?" The three didn't give Jiang Lan any time to react.
"I'm sorry," he said. "You must have some precious treasures on you."
After obtaining the treasures the other party had, they could take the initiative to leave behind the treasures on their bodies and request for themselves to be sent out of the mystic realm and conclude their participation.
Jiang Lan also moved.
He appeared in front of the first person and stabbed his dagger into the neck of the first young man.
"It's okay. There's no need to be sorry."
After replying, Jiang Lan came to the second young man's side. The dagger followed.
Pu!
The dagger pierced through the neck of the second youth.
"You…"
"It might hurt a little, but soon it won't."
Jiang Lan replied.
Then, a light appeared and a healing spell enveloped this person.
It seemed like killing someone was not that easy.
He still needed to use his Power of Nine Bulls.
At this moment, the woman retreated a few steps in fear.
"I—I can give it to you. I'll be your assistant."
Whoosh!
The sword appeared, and with a swing, the sword sliced through her throat.
"I like being alone."
Seeing the light appear, Jiang Lan sheathed his sword and left.
He also collected three unknown treasures: a sword, a saber, and a square Dharma treasure that seemed to be called the Demon Suppression Stone.
They were all inferior to the long sword he had just picked up.
However, since they were Dharma treasures, he would not reject them.
Otherwise, others might think that he had too many treasures on himself and was looking down on such Dharma treasures.
After all, it wasn't the power of nine bulls to kill enemies.
He didn't mind sending people out all the time. All of them were at the early-stage Void Refinement Realm, while his hidden cultivation base was at the mid-stage Void Refinement Realm.
It was normal for him to be able to kill them.
It would seem too deliberate if he acted too weak.
This was good. No one would look down on him or think highly of him.
"I have yet to meet someone from the Heavenly Human Race or the Demon Race. I wonder what they will do."
Jiang Lan had some doubts.
The Heavenly Human Race should really want to kill him while the demons definitely wished to rope him in.
Then, would the Heavenly Human Race take action to try to kill him instantly, or would they use other methods?
Or…
Jiang Lan looked up.
Would they send people down from the higher levels?
The higher the level one was at, the more impressive the Dharma treasures one had. Under normal circumstances, no one would choose to go down from a higher level unless they had a purpose.
One such instance would be if one had someone they wanted to kill.
Jiang Lan remained vigilant and continued walking forward.
…
Ao Longyu and Lin Siya appeared on a wide platform.
This place stretched as far as the eye could see. All they could see were platforms of all sizes. There was basically no cover.
The bottom of the platform was like a bottomless abyss, pitch black.
"It's said that the Mental Demon Purgatory is below. If one falls, one might be attacked by mental demons and be trapped in fear, unable to escape. One can only leave after the gathering ends." Lin Siya looked at the abyss below and reminded Ao Longyu.
"Can one not come up from there?" Ao Longyu was slightly surprised.
"It is said that the desires in one's heart will become restraints that pull one into the bottomless abyss," Lin Siya said again.
Ao Longyu remained silent.
It was indeed dangerous.
"What if one chooses to leave the gathering the instant one falls?" Ao Longyu asked.
Lin Siya shook her head.
She had no idea either.
No one had tried it before and the rules didn't state what would happen if such a scenario were to occur either.
Just as they were talking, someone suddenly came over.
It was a dragon.
Woosh!
Three female dragons landed on the platform Ao Longyu was on. They looked at her and said.
"Are you the Kunlun Goddess?"
"Are you at the perfected Void Refinement Realm?"
"Do you dare to go to the center and compete?"
The three of them spoke one after another. Their purpose was obvious.
"Senior Sister, they are doing it on purpose," Lin Siya immediately said.
"Human, you better be smart. Do you have a choice?" The three of them surrounded the two of them.
"Go to the center and we can fight one on one. If you choose to fight here, the three of us will fight you two together.
If you choose to leave early now, then we have nothing to say, "said a taller Dragoness.
The three of them were at the perfected Void Refinement Realm and had similar cultivation bases. They had come to Kunlun to participate in the Witchcloud Gathering because of the Kunlun Goddess.
"What do you think?" Ao Qiuqin asked Ao Longyu.
