Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!

Meanwhile, in the Guixu Secret Realm, on that dark red Gobi desert open space, two more groups of cultivators arrived.

The first wave came from the east.

Leading the group was a beautiful woman seated on a black lotus flower, with a graceful figure and an exquisitely beautiful yet aloof face.

She was followed by a dozen or so followers, whose cultivation levels ranged from late True God to late Heavenly God. They all had respectful expressions and followed half a step behind her. No one dared to cross the boundary of the black lotus.

The second wave came from the west.

The leader was an extremely tall giant, whose entire body was covered with dark red scales and had two curved black horns on its head.

His aura was comparable to that of the Black Lotus Beauty.

He was followed by a dozen or so followers, mostly burly rogue cultivators, dressed in various armors and wielding all sorts of weapons.

The two groups of people arrived at the open space almost at the same time.

The horned giant glanced at the situation on the open ground, his gaze falling on the several corpses lying there, and then on the small golden flag clutched in the hand of the tall, thin man. The fat on his face twitched violently.

He took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet was dented, with cracks radiating outwards.

"Was that the precious light you emitted just now?"

His voice was deep and muffled, like muffled thunder squeezed out from the depths of his chest.

He stared at the tall, thin man, his gaze turning cold.

"You tricked me into coming here?"

The tall, thin man's face turned deathly pale.

He instinctively took a step back, almost dropping the small golden flag in his hand.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but his throat felt blocked by something, and he couldn't squeeze out a single word.

The horned giant then surveyed the entire arena, his voice icy:

"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, you're all going to die!"

The faces of those present instantly turned grim. Then, the god-king stepped forward and gave a brief account of what had happened, his expression grim.

Upon learning that he had been lured into a forbidden trap, the horned giant instantly flew into a rage.

He raised his right hand, and a ball of dark red light condensed in his palm. The light contained extremely terrifying high temperature, and the surrounding air was scorched and distorted.

"I hate being played. Since you've fooled me, you'll pay with your life."

Just as he was about to make a move, a black petal floated in from the side and precisely blocked his palm.

The petals, though seemingly light and airy, forcefully suppressed the dark red light emanating from the horned giant's palm.

The horned giant abruptly turned its head, looking in the direction of the Black Lotus Beauty, its expression grim:

"What do you mean?"

The beautiful woman with black lotus sat gracefully on the lotus flower, a faint, ambiguous smile playing on her lips.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the open space:

"It doesn't mean anything. It's just that I still have a use for this person, so you can't kill him."

"it works?"

The horned giant snorted coldly, "He tricked me into coming here and is now trapped in this godforsaken place. What good does it do to tell me?"

"I'm going to kill him today!"

"You kill him, and then what?"

The Black Lotus Beauty's tone remained calm.

"You can't get out either. You can feel this restriction, right? Even you and I probably can't break it."

That thing lurks in the shadows, killing randomly, without even you or me noticing.

"Killing him now would just create another corpse; what good would that do you?"

The horned giant fell silent for a moment, and the dark red light in its hand dimmed slightly.

The Black Lotus Beauty continued:

"There's a cave here. This person arrived before us and is more familiar with the surroundings than we are."

Let him scout ahead; it's better than us taking the risk ourselves.

The horned giant stared at her for a few moments, then let out a cold laugh:

"You're quite the schemer. But why should I listen to you?"

The beautiful woman with the black lotus slightly raised her chin, her tone carrying an undisguised arrogance:

"Because I am a disciple of the Styx Ancestor."

There are two peak Divine Lords in my sect.

With the tribe behind you, you're not even worthy of carrying the shoes of your sect.

The horned giant's expression suddenly changed.

Ancestor of the Styx River.

He had certainly heard of that name before.

He was one of the top cultivators in this star field, and it was said that he had already taken a step towards becoming a God Emperor.

His disciples are scattered throughout the star field, and his power is so great that even some established forces dare not provoke him easily.

Although the tribe behind him also had a divine ruler in charge, they were indeed several levels below the Styx Ancestor.

He snorted coldly and said nothing more.

The dark red light in his hand completely dissipated, and he crossed his arms and took a step back.

The beautiful woman withdrew her gaze, looked around, and finally fixed it on the dark cave behind the tree.

The entrance to the cave was small, just big enough for two people to pass side by side. The darkness inside was bottomless, and the totem at the entrance glowed with a dark red light.

Her divine sense probed into the cave entrance, but was bounced back by an invisible force, and she could not perceive anything.

She turned her head and looked at the tall, thin man who had caused the trouble:

"You, go scout ahead."

The tall, thin man's face paled even more. His lips trembled, and his voice shook.

"Senior, I... my cultivation is too low, what if there's something inside..."

"You go scout ahead, and forget about leading us into a trap."

The beautiful woman with black lotus hair interrupted him, her tone cold.

"It's okay if you don't go."

Even if you escape this restriction, you still won't survive. The choice is yours.

The tall, thin man opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He knew all too well the way these beings at the half-step Divine Lord level operated.

They agree readily, but turn their backs faster than flipping through a book.

But he has no other choice now.

If I don't go, I'll die right now. If I go, at least I can live a little longer.

He gritted his teeth and nodded.

The Black Lotus Beauty raised her hand and cast a black restriction at him.

The restriction penetrated the back of his neck, forming a tiny black lotus mark on the surface of his skin.

The lotus mark flickered slightly before disappearing beneath the skin, leaving no trace. However, the tall, thin man could clearly sense it embedded between his meridians and soul, like a noose that could tighten at any moment.

"This is surveillance prohibition."

Once you're inside, I can see everything I see in real time.

If you encounter anything inside, I'll know immediately.

The tall, thin man nodded, his face ashen, took a deep breath, gripped the small golden flag in his hand, and walked toward the cave behind the tree.

His steps were slow, each one feeling like he was stepping on a knife's edge.

The surrounding cultivators quieted down, and all eyes were on him as he approached the dark cave entrance step by step.

He walked to the entrance of the cave and paused for a moment.

Then he bent down and crawled inside. Darkness swallowed his figure, and the cave entrance returned to its previous silence.
