“I see that girl carrying the large cloth bag looks pretty good, I’ll take her!” said a Female Demon Cultivator.
“I want the plainly dressed one, this girl’s development is really good, with her body, as long as I can get out, I’ll definitely fascinate the men outside!”
Of the four who entered this time, three were women and one was a man, so the Female Demon Cultivators discussed it very enthusiastically.
They had not had physical bodies for nearly a thousand years. After death, their souls were sealed here, enduring the pain brought by the sealing formation day and night, repaying the sins they committed in their previous lives.
In the thousand years, occasionally some unlucky fools would mistakenly enter here. The lucky ones would be caught by the monsters eroded by the poison mist outside the formation, dying a quick death, or becoming those monsters; the unlucky ones would come to this Grand Hall, foolishly believing it to be the Legacy Site of a fallen Great Power, not knowing that the fate awaiting them is the possession of their physical bodies, their souls cruelly devoured by the Demon Cultivators, and then they would vanish into thin air, never existing in the world again.
And the boy on the ground is the best example. He is currently being possessed by a powerful Demonic Cultivator Soul. His willpower is quite good, but he probably won't last much longer.
The boy is Meng Xian.
He unintentionally came to this Grand Hall. After passing through layers of tests, a white-haired Elder soul appeared in the hall. The Elder kindly asked him if he wanted to inherit his Swordsmanship Legacy?
Meng Xian would naturally agree. As Lan Siran and the others said, as the Male Protagonist, he could encounter Chance Encounters just by walking around.
This, Meng Xian deeply understood from his past life.
He didn't hesitate much before agreeing, but he didn't expect that the seemingly kind Old Thing planned to possess him when he was off guard!
If he hadn't discovered it in time, he would have already succeeded!
But the Old Thing's soul was not an ordinary Demon Cultivator, but a Devil Realm strongman from a thousand years ago who fought alongside the Former Demon Venerable and was later sealed here by the Righteous Path.
He was careless…
He didn't expect that this was not a Chance Encounter left by a Great Power, but a Deception to take his life!
At this time, Meng Xian's eyes were already bloodshot, and his hands were painfully beating his head. The pain of his soul being almost torn apart was unbearable for him. The other party wanted to possess him, replace him, and completely kill him!
The Demon Cultivator may have seen in Meng Xian's memories his painful experiences in his childhood, and was using a persuasive tone to let him hand over control of his body. Since living was so painful, and even his only foster mother who truly cared for him was dead, then it would be better to just disappear and let him live in his place!
His foster mother's death was a thorn in Meng Xian's heart. The women who approached him later all had ulterior motives, and no one truly cared for him anymore…
No one.
The Demon Cultivator's words had an effect. Meng Xian was no longer struggling painfully as before. The other Demonic Cultivator Souls knew that Old Man Zhong was about to succeed in the possession.
However, even after the possession, the cultivator couldn't get out of here. The reason why they wanted to possess cultivators' physical bodies was that the sealing formation would only make the souls feel that life was worse than death. After possession, they could at least suffer less pain for the period of time the physical body was alive.
Moreover, the boy who was possessed this time was actually a natural Demonic Body. With Old Man Zhong's powerful strength, he might really be able to leave this hellish Place this time!
However, Meng Xian was not successfully possessed as the Demonic Cultivator Souls had expected. At the moment when his consciousness was dissipating, almost the second before he completely gave up control of his body, a slender figure suddenly appeared in his mind. The pink robe was not dazzling, and she didn't deliberately flatter or approach him, but… it was deeply imprinted in his heart.
“What’s going on… this child has woken up again?” a Demonic Cultivator Soul exclaimed in surprise.
“I never thought he could hold out for so long under Old Man Zhong’s possession!”
“He’s truly a promising talent, it’s a pity…” that once you enter here, you are destined to not be able to leave alive.
The Demonic Cultivator Souls discussed among themselves.
You must know that Demon Cultivators always respect strength. Old Man Zhong's full name is Zhong Fu. As a Demon Cultivator Soul who deliberately cut in line to perform possession, he was a capable subordinate of the Former Demon Venerable a thousand years ago.
That Meng Xian was not possessed by Old Man Zhong was truly unexpected to them.
At this time, a majestic voice interrupted their noise: “What are you all arguing about?”
“Old Man Yu…”
The Demonic Cultivator Souls immediately quieted down and immediately told the other party what had just happened. This Old Man Yu was, like Old Man Zhong, a being above them.
Yu Yuan frowned upon hearing this, and his expression became unnatural after the soul approached Meng Xian, especially after seeing Meng Xian’s face.
This child…
“Old Man Yu, this is a naturally born Demonic Body that is rarely seen in a thousand years. If you like it, you can discuss possession with Old Man Zhong…” After all, Old Man Zhong had already failed to possess him.
A Demonic Cultivator Soul flattered.
Yu Yuan didn’t say much, and without a word, he pulled Zhong Fu out of Meng Xian’s body.
“Hey hey hey… Old Yu, what are you doing?” Zhong Fu exclaimed in surprise.
In front of so many subordinates, he failed the possession, and he had lost all face. He was just about to try again while Meng Xian's willpower was weak, but he never expected to be hindered by this old thing!
As soon as he came out, Meng Xian's condition improved instantly, and the pain on his face lessened.
“You can’t touch him,” Yu Yuan said succinctly, “He is the only remaining bloodline of my Yu Family!”
All the Demonic Cultivator Souls present were stunned.
Yu Yuan, as one of the Former Demon Venerable's capable subordinates, although he was powerful, the Yu Family's bloodline had been cursed for generations, each generation only giving birth to one child. If that only child died, the Yu Family bloodline would be cut off…
Yu Yuan looked at the unconscious Meng Xian, his eyes filled with complexity: “It has been a thousand years. I thought the bloodline of my Yu Family had long been severed, but I didn't expect to see a descendant of the Yu Family here today! Hahahahaha! This damned heaven isn't too cruel after all!”
He laughed.
Even though it was his first time seeing Meng Xian, and he didn't have many feelings for the child, blood was thicker than water, and he would definitely protect the child's safety.
He was happy, but Zhong Fu's face was sullen, stinking to the extreme!
He finally found a naturally born Demonic Body boy he could possess, but now he could only look but not eat, wasn't this a torment?
They had lived together for a thousand years, and Old Man Yu knew what he was going to say when he saw his expression; Yu Yuan was at fault, and so, pointing at the Water Moon Mirror in mid-air showing Tian Ning and the other four’s whereabouts, he said: “Didn’t five more kids come in? You can pick one, I'll give you my quota.”
Now Zhong Fu felt a little better.
He looked at Gao Yue in the Water Moon Mirror, who was panting after walking a short distance, with utter disdain. As for the half-dead person in the coffin, he didn't even bother to look.
Zhong Fu finally set his gaze on Tian Ning.
“Let’s have this little girl!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a Female Demon Cultivator Soul exclaimed: “Old Man Zhong, how can you choose a girl!”
The one who spoke was the Female Demon Cultivator Soul who had taken a fancy to Tian Ning earlier.
Zhong Fu glanced disdainfully at the Female Demon Cultivator Soul: “Do you have the right to question this Venerable?”
“How could I! How dare I question Venerable Zhong…” The Female Demon Cultivator Soul immediately dared not speak.
Zhong Fu was quite satisfied with Tian Ning, except that she was a girl, which was a little inconvenient.
This little girl had only recently reached Foundation Establishment, but her Spiritual Energy was so abundant, her body must be excellent, and it could make up for his failure to possess the naturally born Demonic Body.
Moreover, because of the special circumstances of This Place, and because their souls bore heavy sins, even a cultivator's body could not bear their souls.
After being possessed, those bodies would at most last ten years before rotting and dying due to the foul stench…
So he didn't really mind that she was a girl. He could just use this body for ten years at most.
