Lord Holy Sword is unreliable again.

Wang Hong stared at the iron cage in front of him, its surface swirling with dark, malevolent runes.

[Spirit-restricting array detected: It can isolate spiritual energy, sight, and aura; entry is permitted, but exit is not.]

No wonder these people were calling out different names; they had no idea who the newcomer was.

He took a deep breath, refraining from rashly contacting the Azure Dragon, and instead ordered the Holy Sword to perform a full scan—

[Bio-scan: Race: Azure Dragon]

Cultivation level: Peak Foundation Establishment; Age: 55

[Status: Spiritual energy depleted, meridians severely damaged, soul injured, divine beast bloodline exhausted]

The Holy Sword suddenly became active, trembling violently. Wang Hong even felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows and almost fainted.

[Special energy residue detected...**]

[Information matching in the database... Data blocked]

Before Wang Hong could get angry, the Holy Sword sent another message.

[Data is being urgently unblocked...]

[Soul Devouring Technique: Originating from ***, it was modified and then distributed to **.]

[It can absorb the spiritual energy, golden core, and demon core of cultivators to improve its cultivation level. It can also be used as a combat technique with powerful attack capabilities.]

[Backlash of the Annihilation Fiend: The more times it is used, the easier it is to lose one's sanity. A special secret technique can stabilize one's sanity and maintain clarity.]

[Test Results: This Azure Dragon has been used as a "cultivation resource" multiple times, and a large amount of the Devouring Spirit Technique's aura remains within its body. The divine beast's essence has been damaged, making recovery extremely difficult.]

......

Wang Hong's hands trembled.

There was a lot of information about the Soul Devouring Technique transmitted by the Holy Sword, but Wang Hong had no time to pay attention to it.

Soul Devouring Technique... Cultivation Resources...

He finally understood where he was.

This is not just a prison, it's a "ranch"!

These mythical beasts, these legendary beings, these powerful figures who are high above others in the outside world, are merely "resources" here for people to extract spiritual power and devour their cultivation.

"You spineless coward, go ahead and hit me! If you've got the guts, come at me! If you've got the guts, kill me! I'll beat you!" Upon hearing Qinglong's words, Qiongqi flew into a rage, his previously lifeless eyes now gleaming with an indomitable light.

His tattered flesh was torn apart by his trembling body, and blood trickled from his withered body.

Wang Hong is not a saint, but he has to admit that he can't stand such bloody scenes.

Compassion is a quality inherent in all people.

Moreover, this is the abuse of intelligent beings, how is it any different from the abuse of humans?

Wang Hong continued walking forward. The Southern Firebird seemed to sense someone approaching. She clenched her tightly closed eyes and hugged her body tightly, wanting to retreat but only able to let out a helpless sigh.

Along the way, the men here all transformed into their demonic beast forms, while the women all transformed into human forms, the meaning of which is self-evident.

The azure dragon suddenly became agitated: "Come to me! Don't go to her! She has no spiritual energy left! I beg you, kill her, come and absorb my essence, I'll give you all the divine blood within me, I beg you, come to me..."

As he heard the man's footsteps fade into the distance, he wept bitterly.

"Hmph! You, Qing Cangming, a grown man, are so fragile!" the Nether Sea Dragon mocked. "Give him whatever he wants! At worst, I'll die. I'm not afraid of death, I don't care about anything in this body! You're supposed to be a divine beast among my dragons, what a disgrace!"

"Ruoxue, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone to find you. I'm so sorry..."

Wang Hong felt as if his heart had been ripped out. He didn't even dare to use the Holy Sword to scan her physical condition; he was filled with fear.

Wang Hong turned to look at the other iron cages, where the Holy Sword continuously transmitted the summarized and filtered scan results, each one more tragic than the last.

Each one is more shocking than the last.

He had no heart to watch any longer. These dozens of divine beasts were legendary beings to him! Even such a powerful race could not escape the fate of being enslaved.

No wonder Qingxiang was willing to betray her family and bring them to this ancestral hall; perhaps she had already guessed something!

"Beast..." Wang Hong's fists clenched so tightly they cracked. He had no spiritual power, no cultivation, and was just a mortal who had just arrived in this world.

But at this moment, a blazing flame suddenly ignited from the depths of his heart!

That was pure, intense, and all-consuming rage!

What exactly is this place? Is it really the shrine of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?

Why, why...

"My name is Wang Hong," a trembling voice came from his mouth. "Whether you believe me or not, I will definitely get you out of here!"

The demons fell silent, recalling the bloody incident from before, and did not respond readily.

"Heh, sir, you're in high spirits, but your brain isn't quite up to par." The Qiongqi expert mocked again. "Someone used this trick a few days ago. He claimed his name was Qing Yan, but we later found out his name was Mo Jie!"

"Idiots, what decent ideas could those dogs possibly come up with!" Jiaolong's words drew cheers from the crowd, and the atmosphere instantly became heated.

Wang Hong said no more. He had already tried to break the restriction with the Holy Sword, but it was completely ineffective and might even trigger the senses of the person who imposed the restriction.

Moreover, although the smell of blood was stronger, the source was not here!

He walked slowly forward.

"That's strange, why have these beasts been coming after us less lately?"

"They seem to have built something deeper inside, but unfortunately we can't see what it looks like."

"Those idiots from the Qiongqi tribe, I've been missing for so long, haven't they found me yet?!"

The sounds around Wang Hong gradually faded away. He had reached the end of the corridor, where the stench of blood grew stronger. Looking at the door in front of him, his fear reached its peak. The source of the blood must be inside!

Wang Hong hesitated. Should he go in? The stench of blood made him very uneasy. What might be inside?

Wang Hong didn't even dare to think about it, fearing that if he did, he would lose the courage to open that door.

But if he backs down now, in this situation, he will despise himself for the rest of his life!

Thinking of this, Wang Hong suddenly kicked out and slammed the door open.

A strong, suffocating stench of blood instantly assaulted his senses, mixed with the whimpers of a young beast and an aura of despair, almost making him gag.

Completely dark, Wang Hong could only rely on the faint light emanating from the holy sword.

I could barely make out that there was a long, narrow corridor in front of me, with lamp-like things embedded in the walls on both sides, but no light came out.

Looking down, Wang Hongding saw rows of iron cages on both sides, covered with dark, malevolent energy, clearly under a restriction to trap the creatures inside.

......

At that very moment—

The anger in Wang Hong's chest finally exploded!
