The pupils of the nine enormous blood-colored eyeballs constricted. Inside the eyeballs were the nine corpses seated cross-legged, who were absorbing the spirit energy from the living beings below. All of them trembled.

Clearly, Xu Qing’s arrival was a complete shock. He had not been noticed before the moment he revealed himself. That was a very significant fact, and it was clearly shocking to the nine corpse-like cultivators.

“Excuse me,” Xu Qing said calmly. “I’d like to leave this place. Do you mind letting me through?”

Obviously, the ideal outcome would be to leave without having to make a scene.

Unfortunately, his words had a very different result than intended. The nine blood-red eyeballs emanated intense hostility. The nine cultivators within them didn’t know where this person came from or how he had entered this minor world controlled by their clan. But it didn’t matter. They simply couldn’t permit mishaps in this place. Killing intent surged within them, and they immediately sent messages to the outside.
