Infernal Artist

Liu Ping held a glass of wine and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the scenery outside.

"Since you don't want to reveal your true identity, what should I call you?"

Ms. Pain said respectfully.

"Just call me darkness." Liu Ping said.

——Darkness is the code name of the Lord of the Old God of Purgatory, and no one knows it.

Now that he has fallen into a deep sleep, and he has taken his place, being called darkness does not cause people to think too much.

"Mr. Dark, the mistress has agreed to let me trade with you." Ms. Pain said.

"She is willing to let you know about the nightmare?" Liu Ping said without looking back.

Floor-to-ceiling windows.

The devils coming and going are decorating the wedding scene.

Aldrich appeared twice, his face filled with the excitement and excitement of being about to achieve divine status and beauty.

But Yana was not seen.

At this moment, maybe she was imprisoned.

It's a pity that he is only in the Qi refining period now, so he can't take her away directly.

Even the ability given to him by the Huangquan Affairs Chief Processor requires merit before he can use it.

How can I get some merit?

Liu Ping thought silently.

At this time, another voice sounded:

"Yes, I agree. What do you think she needs to pay before you tell her about the nightmare layer?"

Liu Ping turned around and looked.

At this time, the door of the wing had been opened, and standing outside were twelve devils exuding divine power, all surrounding a woman wearing a gorgeous red dress.

This woman had a beautiful face and a serious smile. She walked slowly towards her, and her whole body was full of power.

"Welcome, Mr. Dark, I am the master here, the controller of the eleventh level of purgatory, the master of all cruel power, Medea."

She nodded slightly at Liu Ping.

The unparalleled power revealed by the other party was enough for her to come to meet him in her true form.

"Originally it was just a little fun for me, but unexpectedly, I got to interact with you." Liu Ping shook his head and sighed.

"If you want, you can call me the owner of the Cruel Land, or you can call me by my real name." The matron smiled.

"Thank you for coming to see me in person. In fact, I am really just a little interested in what happened here." Liu Ping said.

"There is no love or hate without reason, and there is no fun without reason - we will discuss this matter in detail after your transaction with the Goddess of Pain is completed." Medea said softly.

Liu Ping's eyes turned and landed on Ms. Pain.

"If you have anything that can be traded, let me see it." Liu Ping said.

"Are the possessions and treasures of interest to you?" asked the Lady of Pain.

"I never dislike these things, but if you want to say how interested I am in them, there is no way." Liu Ping said.

"You seem to be very interested in the world of spiritual practice..."

"Yes."

"Then I just have something here that you might like."

"What?"

Lady Pain clapped her hands.

A devil servant came forward, holding a tray in his hand, and in the tray was a card.

I saw a gloomy dungeon painted on the card.

One after another, the dim light shuttled back and forth in the dungeon, trying to find a way to escape.

But it's no use.

In the depths of the dungeon, flames kept spurting out, burning the faint light, causing long threads to escape from their bodies.

Lines of burning small characters appeared in front of Liu Ping’s eyes:

"Cruel Deck No. 9: Soul-Scorching Prison."

"illustrate:"

"This is a special sacrifice card. All souls imprisoned in this prison will be continuously burned by the hellfire, and will have to sacrifice their soul power for the owner of the card to use."

"By holding this card, you own all the souls in this prison, and you can take them alive or dead."

Liu Ping showed an interested expression and asked:

"Where do the souls in this card come from? It seems that the quality is very good, and the quantity is constantly being replenished."

Ms. Pain said in a tone that sounded like a treasure offering: "My lord, this is the world of cultivation - the souls in it are all the best in the world of cultivation. They have been cultivating the power of their souls all their lives and can provide you with soul nourishment for a long time."

"Interesting." Liu Ping commented.

"Look -"

"Can."

Liu Ping put away the cards, his expression became much more serious, and he said: "After the destruction of the Void Divine Pillar, the truly powerful beings have noticed one thing, that is, the entire Purgatory and the Eternal Night Divine Pillar will surely face the same fate. destroy."

"Why?" Lady Pain blurted.

Matron Medea stood far away, taking a glass of wine from the attendant's hand, sipping it while paying attention to the conversation with a half-smile.

Liu Ping said calmly: "Because there is a vast nightmare layer world under the Eternal Night Divine Pillar. When the power of the nightmare layer world forms a tide, it continues to rise and eventually swallows Eternal Night and the Purgatory Divine Pillar——"

"Will the Divine Pillar be destroyed?" asked Ms. Pain.

"No."

Liu Ping had a smile on his face and lightly snapped his fingers.

In the void beside him, an incomparable figure appeared.

It was an existence beyond words.

It has no face, and there is a deep hole in its head. Waves of light emit from the hole, illuminating the void and the world.

On its body surface, densely packed flesh buds emerged and stood up high, with eyes open at the top.

When its image appeared, Mistress Medea, who was standing far away on the other side, accidentally crushed the crystal cup in her hand.

"Disperse!"

She snapped.

In an instant, everyone around them disappeared without a trace.

Even the Lady of Pain is missing.

"It's it..."

Medea said dryly.

Liu Ping pretended not to know.

——In fact, this mistress is quite suspicious, and she didn’t completely believe herself until just now.

She allowed Ms. Pain to ask for secrets, while she stayed aside. In fact, she also had the idea of ​​​​considering Liu Ping's true strength.

after all--

What secrets you can know represent what kind of identity you have.

As soon as the phantom of the Lord of Nightmares appeared, the mistress no longer dared to support her, and immediately moved everyone away.

——Because even Ms. Pain is not qualified to know this.

Regarding this secret, I don’t know how many seals there are, let alone how many powerful devils are exploring it, and there are even related organizations guarding it.

If a person without strength knows such a secret, there will only be one end -

die.

But Liu Ping just stood there motionless, as if what he had just said was just gossip and he was safe and sound.

"Did you see it? It will come here and eat up everything alive - Huh? Why are all the people missing?"

Liu Ping pretended to be surprised.

The entire room, and even the nearby halls and corridors, were deserted.

Only Mistress Medea remained standing.

Liu Ping's eyes flashed.

Only lines of small burning characters appeared before his eyes:

"You tell the secrets at the heart of a bygone era."

"The Prison Suppressing Knife automatically activates, releasing the power of 'silence' to protect this secret from being discovered by the outside world."

"—You are safe."

"In addition, the Prison Suppressing Knife and the Baina Knife are both your portable weapons, just like your card book 'The Soul of the Soul', so they can always follow you."

"All the memories you awaken have always followed you."

Liu Ping read it at a glance and said with a smile: "Medea, you are too kind to your servants. Sometimes you should let them know something."

"What?" Medea asked.

"Some secrets cannot be inquired about at will." Liu Ping had a look of regret on his face.

"I'm making you laugh. I still have use for those men. If they are killed by such a terrible secret, I will have a headache for a long time." Medea said with a hint of anger and a smile.

"Okay, you've been testing me for so long. What's going on? If it's nothing and it's just a pure test, then you are really careful enough." Liu Ping said calmly.

"Don't be angry," Medea giggled, "I'll give you that card, just think of it as my apology."

"Then?" Liu Ping asked.

"Actually, I have a party going on here—"

Medea twisted her waist and walked forward, took Liu Ping's arm, and said with a charming look: "If a powerful person like you joins our party, I will be honored in the meeting."

The majesty and indifference that had just emitted from her body had long since disappeared.

"But I'm just here to watch the wedding. I will go into the eternal night and continue to have fun in the dark drama of the practitioners." Liu Ping said.

"Follow me, it's a little dark drama, I'll give it to you later." Medea reluctantly held his arm and walked forward.

Liu Ping looked helpless and had no choice but to follow her.

In the corridor carved with gorgeous magic patterns, devils knelt down where the two passed by, not daring to raise their heads to take another look.

——These demons were released again by Medea and began to decorate the entire manor again.

Lady Pain never appeared again.

Her mission was accomplished.

The two of them were walking when suddenly there was a noise in front of them.

"What's the matter?" Medea frowned.

"Mother, Yana ran out again. Fortunately, you restrained her. She was imprisoned as soon as she escaped to the corridor." A devil whispered.

"Huh!" Medea exuded a chill.

She was about to say something when an interested voice sounded beside her:

"Are you the bride tonight?"

"Ah, yes, she is not very satisfied with the marriage I arranged... she is a little petty..." Medea said.

Liu Ping smiled and said: "Young people always don't know that we are actually doing it for their own good. By the way, I came here to watch the wedding. I wonder if I can take a look at the bride."

Medea was confused and said: "Do you want to——"

"Give them blessings - I've been having terrible luck recently. Blessing the newcomers might bring me good luck." Liu Ping said.

"This statement sounds a bit ridiculous, Mr. Dark." Medea said with twinkling eyes.

"Medea, you can pretend not to know anything about the law of destiny, but you must not blaspheme it, otherwise fate will make you bear the blasphemy." Liu Ping said calmly.

Medea's heart trembled.

The other person is right.

How come I was so busy testing him but I forgot to abide by my due duty?

If the other party is really casting some kind of destiny spell——

Talking too much is just asking for trouble.

After all, fate is the supreme force among the strange and strange. It is always unexpected and never fails.

This being is truly unfathomable, and he pointed out the characteristics of the law of fate in a casual sentence.

Even in purgatory, only those old gods who have lived for endless years have such wise insights.

——What exactly has this being experienced? How long has he existed? How many great things have you seen happen?

The more Medea thought about it, the more frightened she became.

"Thank you for reminding me, I will ask the newcomer to see you."

She gestured.

soon.

Yana, who looked haggard, was escorted to the two of them.

Her hands and feet were shackled, and a collar full of spikes was placed around her neck, piercing her snow-white skin and leaving bloody traces.

"Bride - you are the torture lady Yana, hello." Liu Ping said.

"Hello."

Yana looked at Medea and then at Liu Ping, her face full of doubts.

Liu Ping stepped forward and handed her a card.

"Take it, this is your wedding gift," he said.

Yana took the card and looked at it, and said with emotion: "Soul-burning prison!"

"That's right, because of some connections in fate, I need to get the blessings of you as a newlywed couple. Would you like to call me godfather? If you are willing, I have more gifts for you!" Liu Ping said.

Yana was silent for a moment, looked at Medea, and said in a sarcastic tone: "What? Can you really give me this card?"

"I can't interfere in Mr. Dark's affairs," Medea said.

Yana said: "Okay, since I can make the decision——"

She held the card tightly and pinched it suddenly.

The entire card immediately shattered into pieces.

All the souls imprisoned in it immediately flew into the void and fled away.

"Yana! You are shameless!"

Medea's face turned pale with anger, and she took out a knife and was about to cast a spell.

"fine!"

Liu Ping stopped her and said with a smile: "It's just a card. I have endless cards and wealth, so I won't care about it."

"You really-"

"I really don't care. Don't worry, it's just a small matter. I have more things to give to the newlyweds."

As he spoke, he took out various expensive gems and compared them with Yana, as if he was thinking about what to give her.

Lines of burning small characters appeared quickly in the void:

"You gave the card to Yana."

"Yana is a paladin of the holy camp. She will never kill. She has saved all souls."

"You assisted her in this."

"You gained merit: 499 points."

Perfect!

Yana must be like this!

Liu Ping glanced at the void, thinking about how he could get some more merit.

Medea carefully observed Liu Ping's expression and saw that there was no sign of impatience on his face, but instead he looked very interested.

Her mood gradually calmed down.

No matter what destiny magic the big guy wants to cast, at least he has come up with real money!

That card is quite expensive.

It took Ms. Pain a long time to collect enough souls from the world of cultivation to become a card, but he gave them to Yana with a wave of his hand!

Based on this alone, it was right to call out Aldrich and Yana.

"Go call Aldrich!"

She said silently into the void.

Soon.

Another handsome young man walked towards the end of the corridor.

Aldrich!

He had already received the order, and now he bowed respectfully to Liu Ping and said: "Mr. Dark, I am Aldrich, and I am about to become Yana's husband."

"What a great young man! I'm very optimistic about you!"

Liu Ping patted his shoulder and whispered: "Would you like to call me godfather? I have endless benefits for you."

Aldrich glanced at Medea, the matron.

Medea hesitated for a moment and nodded.
