Chapter Fifty: The Devil's Gate Master and Disciple

  Under the leadership of these four guys, Xuán Qí quickly arrived in front of an abandoned mine.

  Pointing to the mine hole, the lead miner said: "It was right here that our boss tied Liang Wen-gen up in an abandoned pit inside."

  This mine in front of us looks like just a clump of grass, without any sign of an entrance.

  Even with Xuan Qi's cultivation, he couldn't see any sign of a cave entrance here. What was visible, however, was that the illusory array in front of him was quite successful.

  "It's just a small trick, but it's another smoke screen."

  Lao Ding was very disdainful of this illusion, in his opinion, all illusions were just some fake tricks, not worth mentioning at all. Even the most ingenious illusions were nothing but magic tricks.

  The leader of the four miners hastily said, "For Master, this is naturally just a small trick. But for ordinary people, this illusion array still has some confusing effect. This also avoids other people from disturbing us. However, this illusion array has a warning function, once someone enters it, our boss will detect it."

  At this time, these guys hurriedly confessed to Lao Ding. They did not want to find out if the old Ding who had been discovered would shift his anger to them.

  After being disciplined by Lao Gou, they no longer dared to take risks. In their eyes, Lao Gou was even more ruthless than their boss.

  If they betray their leader, at most it's a painful death. But if they fall into the hands of Lao Ding, they will absolutely be worse off than dead.

  Xuan Qi did not expect this problem to arise, and he turned his head to ask Lao Ding: "What should we do now?"

  "Let's just barge in, a small fry like him is nothing to worry about. We'll go in openly and let him know we're looking for him. Dealing with someone as insignificant as him, we don't need to be stealthy. I've always been straightforward and aboveboard my whole life. A minor figure from the demonic sect is hardly worth worrying about."

  "Good!"

  Hearing Lao Ding's domineering words, Xuan Qi didn't say anything else. Seeing Lao Ding speak like this, Xuan Qi understood that Lao Ding must be very confident in dealing with the guy in the cave.

  Under the leadership of four miners, Xuán Qí and Lǎo Kuī directly entered that cave.

  As soon as he entered that mine, Xuan Qi only felt the scenery behind him darken, and his whole person seemed to have entered a dark and closed world.

  In this place, apart from the faint light of the miner's headlamp, there was no other source of light.

  At this time, only a hoarse voice came from inside the cave: "Ergouzi, how did you do the things I asked you to do? Why did you bring a stranger in?"

  Upon seeing Xuan Qi's appearance, that guy asked with some suspicion.

  "This is Liang Wengen's son. He brought his father's safe deposit box with him. The thing is, he doesn't know the password, so I've brought him here as a hostage!"

  These miners were quite resourceful and quickly came up with a story.

  "Did you bring the safe? Alright, hurry up and bring it over with that safe." Hearing the miner's words, the hoarse voice sounded extremely delighted, urging hastily.

  Soon, Xuan Qi followed the four miners to a large mine shaft. Underground, there were several miner's lamps hanging from the ceiling, making the scenery not particularly dark.

  On the ground, a poor devil was lying, covered in blood, looking half-dead and pitiful. Upon closer inspection, this guy's face resembled Liang Zimo's, it should be Liang Wengen.

  Apart from him, there was another person sitting on the high platform of the mine shaft. This person was about forty years old, with a pale face and an extremely weak body, as if he would be blown away by a gust of wind.

  He wore a large long gown, hiding in the dark, and at first glance, he didn't seem like a good person.

  This guy has a pair of narrow eyes, a bald forehead, a messy long hair, sunken cheeks and a high-bridged hawk nose, making him look evil.

  The high platform he was sitting on looked white and seemed to be made of jade.

  From a distance, there was nothing unusual about it, but as he drew closer, Xuan Qi couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

  "Skull!"

  Xuan Qi arrived beside that guy, and only then did he see the high platform under his feet, which was surprisingly composed of countless skulls, looking extremely eerie and terrifying.

  Carefully counting, there were no less than a thousand skulls where he sat.

  "It's really a bloody disaster! These demonic sect guys, after all, can't change their nature, it's really too infuriating to death. If I had the ability, I would definitely eliminate them all!"

  Seeing the scene in front of him, Lao Ding was extremely angry. All along, he had hated the so-called Mo Men the most. Originally, after he woke up, he couldn't see any traces of Mo Men, thinking that they were similar to Xuan Men, and their power had been greatly reduced. Unexpectedly, in this small place, he still saw a Mo Men.

  "Liang Wengen, your son is here. If you don't cooperate honestly again, I won't be polite." At this time, the middle-aged man on the high platform scolded Liang Wengen, who was unconscious.

  As Liang Wengen remained unconscious, he directly threw out a large centipede from his hand. The centipede was about one foot long and looked very frightening.

  After the centipede fell to the ground, it bit Liang Wengen's arm fiercely. Under this severe pain, Liang Wengen let out a loud roar and woke up directly from the pain.

  Liang Wengen's eyes were almost completely swollen at this time, and his eyelids were about to stick together. He could only see a line. At this moment, he struggled to say: "Don't implicate my family members, whatever you want, settle with me! As for that artifact, I absolutely cannot give it to you. If I gave it to you, neither I nor the entire Liang family would be able to live. You also know how formidable your senior brother is. If he found out that I betrayed him, I would definitely not have a good day."

  "Is that so, you're afraid of my senior brother but not me?" Upon hearing his words, the guy on the high platform became enraged and said: "In that case, I'll first kill your son and use his flesh and blood to feed my centipede, then I'll kill you and your wife too, and let the entire Liang family be exterminated!"

  Xuan Qi heard Liang Wen Gen's words and only then did he realize that the guy on the high platform seemed to have a senior brother, who was also Liang Wen Gen's backing and support.

  "After threatening Liang Wengen, the guy said with a flattering tone: 'If you listen to me and hand over the Soul Summoning Bell, I guarantee that you will live a life of luxury and pleasure from now on. Although my senior brother helped you back then, it's all in the past. It's been twenty years since then, and he hasn't appeared again. I think he might have died early. The vengeful spirits you've collected with the Soul Summoning Bell are not as good as handing them over to me. This way, your Liang family can also avoid disaster!'"

  It's clear that this guy has been threatening and bribing Liang Wengen all along, just to get the Soul Summoning Bell from his hands.

  Liáng Wěngēn's expression changed several times, and it seemed that he was struggling in his heart. It could be seen that this guy's proposal made him very moved.

  However, after some thought, Liang Wengen firmly refused the guy and said: "I, Liang Wengen, have been muddle-headed all my life. If it weren't for your master's help, I wouldn't have made a fortune or married a wife, let alone had children. When your master gave me the Soul Summoning Bell back then, I swore an oath that I would never betray him! If you want to take this Soul Summoning Bell, just take it directly. In any case, I won't give it to you."

  "This guy is really tough, no wonder he's Liang Zimo's father!" Seeing that Liang Wengen was not moved at all under the intimidation of those demonic cultivators, Xuan Qi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  Lao Ding directly saw the inside story and said, "He's just been trained well, nothing to be surprised about. Moreover, there is still a gu worm controlling him in his body. In this situation, he naturally doesn't dare betray the person behind him. Otherwise, he will immediately rupture his intestines and die from explosion."

  Pointing at Liang Wengen's constantly rotating eyeballs, Old Turtle said: "Look at this guy constantly shaking his head left and right, obviously waiting for reinforcements, not a heroic death. It can be seen that his backstage is about to appear."

  "What? His backing is coming?" Upon hearing his words, Xuan Qi couldn't help but feel a bit tense. He hadn't expected to run into two people from the Demon Gate today.

  For a long time, the legendary Mo Men was a very distant thing for Xuan Qi. Today, he finally met this legendary school.

  The guy on the high platform had a gloomy appearance that made him feel terrified. Thinking that he also had an older martial brother, Xuan Qi felt his back turn cold.

  Xuan Qi's concerns were indeed justified, for just as this thought had risen in his mind, a shrill voice echoed from afar: "Younger brother, you really don't have a small temper, daring to make a move on your older brother's head, truly arrogant!"

  As his voice came, a rustling sound was heard from the mine. Xuan Qi turned back to look and couldn't help but feel his scalp numb, wanting to escape.

  All that can be seen on the ground are snakes, ants and poisonous insects. The first to appear are some white flower-like maggots. These maggots are like white plump silkworms, but they are green in color.

  It's clear that among these poisonous insects, this group of maggots is the most revered. These guys, no one knows what their origins are. However, Xuan Qi knew that they were definitely very formidable characters.

  After all, in this poisonous insect world, strength is king, and there's no room for pretence.
