An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

Under the influence of the Yin-Yang Harmony Powder, Bai Miaozhen was powerless to resist. In the midst of this extreme pleasure, she did not even realize that her essence and cultivation were being drained at an alarming rate by the person she regarded as cannon fodder!

However, at this most intriguing moment...

"Sizzle—!"

The scene on the screen abruptly ended when the blood mist swirled and enveloped the two of them.

That's it for the group photo.

In the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room, all the viewers were stunned for more than ten seconds before they completely erupted in chaos.

"Holy crap? I've already taken my pants off, and this is what I get?"

"Is this some kind of plot hole?! Tell me what happened next!"

"Is there even a question? This is absolutely a blessing in disguise for Boss Lu Li! He turned the tables on everyone! Not only did he get the body of the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect for free, but he also gained unparalleled fortune!"

"It was too tragic, truly too tragic. Although the ending was satisfying, Lu Li risked his life the whole way! It was like rolling on a bed of nails in hell!"

Standing in the stone chamber, Lu Xueyao looked at the dull jade pendant and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

My brother suffered unimaginable hardships and torments in the underworld.

"Brother, don't worry!"

Lu Xueyao wiped away her tears, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes.

"Before, you fought alone in the darkness. From now on, with me here, whoever dares to harm a single hair on your head, I will use all my cultivation to tear their soul from their body and refine them so they can never be reincarnated!"

Meanwhile, deep within another mine shaft in the Ninth Mining Area.

Li Qingyue and several Dao-Slaying Realm deacons who crossed over from the Xuan Tian Realm, including Zhao Jinhuan who was the first to be teleported in, were all gathered together at this moment.

Their originally elegant and refined attire was transformed into the tattered hemp clothing of the lowest-ranking miners of the Yellow Spring Demon Sect under the dungeon rules.

"Holy Maiden, we have basically ascertained the situation."

Zhao Jinhuan reported solemnly, "We seem to have been forcibly pulled into an independent secret realm by some powerful law of heaven and earth. This secret realm seems to be attached to that strange world."

"Moreover, I just rescued a living person who claimed to be a Chosen One in another passage. After some subtle questioning, I learned that everyone who enters this secret realm needs to play their respective roles and complete their corresponding tasks."

For example, right now, we're playing the role of the lowest-ranking mining slaves, whose daily task is to mine fifty Bloodstones.

After listening to Zhao Jinhuan's report, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

How could the holy maiden and deacon of the dignified Primordial Holy Land have to dig for stones in such a dark and sunless lower world mine?

Li Qingyue, however, remained calm. Her clear eyes showed no emotion as she spoke softly, "Since we're here, let's make the best of it. The Emperor has a profound reason for sending us to this world."

In any case, let's not cross the line of rules in this secret realm. Since the mission is mining, let's complete the mission first.

"The Holy Maiden's words make sense." Zhao Jinhuan nodded.

However, despite this, apart from Li Qingyue, who is at the peak of the ninth level of Feather Transformation, the other four members of their group of five are all genuine experts at the Dao Severing Realm!

To expect them to swing broken iron pickaxes and smash rocks like ordinary people? That would be an insult to cultivators.

"Gentlemen, let's make our move and finish this quickly," Zhao Jinhuan sneered.

"boom!"

The several Dao-Slaying Realm deacons did not touch the iron pickaxes on the ground at all.

They pointed their fingers like swords, and the vast magical power within their bodies, belonging to the Dao-Slaying Realm, instantly burst forth, transforming into dozens of sharp and incomparable magical sword energies, which bombarded the surrounding rock walls.

The sword energy, powerful enough to split mountains and cleave peaks in the Xuan Tian Realm, is limited in power in this mine enhanced by the rules, but the speed at which blood-fiend stones are mined is still outrageously fast.

"Bang bang bang—!"

Large areas of the rock wall peeled away, and pieces of blood-red stone fell like raindrops.

However, their crude and simplistic digging method caused too much of a commotion.

Unbeknownst to them, they had completely shattered a section of hard rock at the end of the mine, carving out a huge, bottomless black pit!

"call--!"

As the rock strata cracked, a dense, almost tangible aura of malevolent energy surged forth from the crater like an erupting volcano.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that the bottom of the large pit was filled with countless, pale, withered bones that had been dead for countless years!

This place is a mass grave, a burial ground, buried deep underground!

Moreover, this burial ground seems to be teeming with evil spirits formed from those who were tortured and killed in life.

Stimulated by this intense Yin energy, in an instant!

A strange change suddenly occurred inside the pit!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless strands of jet-black, eerie hair shot out from the pile of bones, tightly wrapping around everyone's ankles.

Immediately afterwards, water seeped out of nowhere from the bottom of the pit, attempting to drag them into the water.

There were even pairs of pale, eerie hands that broke through the limitations of space and grabbed directly at the backs of the deacons!

In just one encounter, they simultaneously triggered several bizarre killing patterns, including the mysterious hair, water trick, and mysterious hand!

Fortunately, the people around Li Qingyue were all powerful figures at the Dao Severing Realm, and their strength should not be underestimated.

"A trivial skill!"

Zhao Jinhuan sneered. He simply raised his hand and waved it, and a golden law power belonging to the Dao Severing Realm descended instantly.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The strange hair, powerful enough to strangle an ordinary chosen one, was severed inch by inch by the cutting power of the law.

The spreading water stains were instantly evaporated by another deacon using his supreme yang magic.

The sneak attack that attempted to strike was directly crushed into nothingness.

With just a few gestures, these C-level and D-level monsters, who were feared by outsiders, were easily and completely dealt with by them.

However, seeing this smooth scene, Li Qingyue's expression did not relax; instead, it became even more solemn.

"Everyone be careful! The eerie energy at the bottom of the pit hasn't weakened at all; in fact, it's become even more terrifying!"

Just as Li Qingyue finished speaking, strange red lights suddenly appeared at the bottom of the mine pit filled with withered bones.

Immediately afterwards, one by one, lanterns emitting a scarlet glow rose slowly from the shadows!

The surface of these lanterns was shockingly made of human skin sewn together, and burning inside the lanterns were human heads with distorted, unseeing eyes!

The next moment, one of the human head lanterns suddenly turned its face, and a scarlet light was reflected directly in its empty eye sockets.

The red light was moving at an extreme speed, ignoring the distance in space, and landed directly on a Dao-Slaying Realm deacon standing at the very front.

"Well--!"

The Dao-Slaying Deacon named Liu Chengfeng didn't even have time to activate his protective magic before letting out a muffled groan.
