Blood Sacrifice To Millions Of Zombies, I Will Be A Demon Cultivator In The Apocalypse

Chapter 48: Gold Core Sect, True Disciple

So, quickly, led by Qi Lin, the two of them walked through a passage several dozen meters long and arrived at a small room. In the room, there was something that could still be called a human.

Zheng Yi glanced at Qi Lin.

Qi Lin immediately understood and turned around to leave, returning to guard Zheng Yi on the shrine, preventing any idle person from disturbing him.

Then Zheng Yi gathered his gaze once again and looked at the thing in front of him that could barely be called a human.

In his lifetime, Zheng Yi had seen many cultivators.

There were disciples of prestigious sects, descendants of cultivation families, independent cultivators being chased and fleeing in a sorry state, righteous cultivators acting arrogantly and recklessly, and ruthless individuals from demonic sects with sinister personalities.

But no matter which kind, Zheng Yi swore that he had rarely seen someone as miserable as the person in front of him.

This person no longer had the shape of a human. They were just a lump of flesh, stuffed into a small jar.

Their limbs had been chopped off, their eyes destroyed, leaving only two black holes.

Their tongue had been cut off, and when they opened their mouth, all that could be seen was a black mass, with only half of their tongue remaining.

Both ears had been cut off, and their nose had been cut off as well. If it weren't for the white breath coming out of their mouth, Zheng Yi would have thought this person was already dead.

Leaning in slightly to perceive, Zheng Yi's eyes shot out a cold light, furrowing his brows deeply.

What grudge? What resentment?

To make the Qi family act so ruthlessly and do such cruel things.

Even this person's sea of consciousness and lower dantian had been deliberately destroyed, completely turning them into a conscious pig.

The methods were too ruthless, too venomous.

Zheng Yi even felt that maybe he had been too lenient when he dealt with Qi Yuanzong and the others in the past.

Directly annihilating their souls would have been too cheap for them.

Then his gaze returned to the conscious pig in front of him.

This person was immersed in a large tub, and the water in the tub contained some herbs that restored vitality. It seemed to maintain the vitality of the conscious pig, preventing it from dying easily.

Sensing someone coming in, the conscious pig suddenly reacted violently. An extremely resentful hatred filled the air, but it also seemed so helpless and desperate.

"Who are you? How did you end up here?"

"Why did the Qi family treat you like this?"

"Torturing you like this, yet not letting you die, hiding you in this deep underground chamber..."

Zheng Yi used his divine sense to try to enter the conscious pig's mind and cautiously asked.

As soon as he entered, Zheng Yi felt a bone-deep despair. Obviously, this conscious pig had been tortured by the Qi family for more than just a few days. Over a long period of time, it had been reduced to a cruel state of being like a living dead.

"Damn the Qi family, you all deserve to die. The Five Elements Sword Sect won't let you off..."

"My master will avenge me!"

"Ah..."

This conscious pig had suffered long-term torture, and its entire consciousness had become unclear. When Zheng Yi's divine sense entered, apart from the endless resentment and hatred, there were only curses of hatred and angry wailing.

"Stop!"

Zheng Yi furrowed his brows and coldly snorted, as if a thunderclap exploded in the conscious pig's mind, abruptly silencing the curses and wailing.

"The Qi family's ruling lineage has been exterminated! The main lineage has already been completely wiped out by me."

"It was my subordinates who discovered you..."

"If you keep blabbering, I can't be bothered to deal with you. Just live or die here on your own."

Zheng Yi's divine sense conveyed his consciousness, saying.

His brows slightly furrowed, not holding much confidence.

This person seems to have suffered torment for too long, their mind has become confused, and their speech has become erratic.

"Qijia has been destroyed?"

"Dead... completely extinct."

"Qiyuanzong, Qiyuanming, and those beasts are all dead..."

"Really, really?"

The person's emotions paused, somewhat dazed.

In fact, hearing the previous few sentences and thinking about what has happened in the past two months seems to confirm what Zheng Yi said.

Previously, Qiyuanzong would appear every three to five days to torment him, to threaten and entice him.

But this time, it has been two whole months without any appearance. Something must have happened in between.

"I have no reason to deceive you."

"Besides, I don't even know who you are."

"What benefit would I gain from deceiving you?"

Zheng Yi said impatiently, but he still answered each of the person's questions.

"The Qijia brothers died by my hands, their souls scattered."

"They don't even have a chance to reincarnate!"

As he spoke, Zheng Yi transmitted the scenes of him killing Qiyuanzong and the others to the person's mind.

These scenes were vivid, projected by the mind, and the aura of the soul couldn't be faked.

Although this person had been crippled in cultivation, their knowledge and insight were still intact, allowing them to clearly perceive that Zheng Yi was not lying to them.

"Ah, finally dead, those scum from Qijia are finally completely dead."

As if the suppressed pain in their heart suddenly released at this moment, tears of blood flowed down their dirty and damaged face.

Only now did Zheng Yi notice that although this person had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, their robe, though tattered and dirty, could still be recognized as the formal robe of a sect disciple.

This made Zheng Yi even more curious about the true reason why this person was tortured and imprisoned.

The Qijia brothers were all ruthless and decisive figures, they wouldn't torture someone for no reason just to pass the time.

There must be a great secret for keeping this person imprisoned here.

However, this person had endured long and cruel torment, and their resentment and grievances were being released. Zheng Yi silently waited.

After a while, the person spoke again.

Their tongue had been cut off, and their sea of consciousness had been destroyed, making it impossible for them to express themselves.

But Zheng Yi's divine sense could enter their sea of consciousness, allowing them to communicate in this way.

"I won't mention my name. I am a true disciple of the Small Five Elements Sword Sect. I entered the Demon Realm once and had a great battle with a demonic cultivator. I was seriously injured and accidentally fell into the hands of the Qijia..."

According to the person's memories, Zheng Yi slowly understood the whole process and the reason why they were imprisoned and tortured by the Qijia.

This person, as a disciple of a sect, had a noble status. After a life-and-death battle with a powerful cultivator of the demonic path, they fell into the territory of the Qijia and were saved by them.

Their cultivation was still shallow, and they had limited experience outside. As a talented disciple within the sect, they were well protected and had little exposure to the deceitful affairs of the Demon Realm.

Facing the Qijia's inquiry about their life-saving grace, they unhesitatingly told their origin. However, they didn't expect the Qijia to have ulterior motives and secretly added even more terrifying poison to their food and medicine.

They wanted to force him to reveal the true cultivation techniques of the Small Five Elements Sword Sect.

But this person was stubborn, no matter how Qiyuanzong and the others pressured and tortured him, he swore not to yield.

Unable to extract any answers from his mouth, Qiyuanzong and the others resorted to cruel methods, turning him into a human pig.

They gouged out his eyes, cut off his tongue, severed his nose, silenced his voice, destroyed his divine sense, turning him into a useless waste who couldn't speak, see, or move, without even a trace of divine sense.

The purpose was obvious, it was for the secret techniques of the Small Five Elements Sword Sect.
