Chapter 1192: Status
At this moment, she had locked away her six senses; her ears could not hear, her eyes could not see, and before her was nothing but darkness.
Very soon, an old man arrived here, escorted by over thirty bodyguards.
This old man must have been a wealthy person; like the few before him, he had status and money in society, which was why he had received the call of the Ghost Clan and rushed here to seek the method of eternal life.
"President Yu, we have arrived." A master, carrying a pack on his back and holding a Compass in his hand, looked at the magnificent scene before him, unable to hide the joy on his face.
"We've arrived, have we really arrived?" The old man cast aside the cane in his hand; he looked at everything before him with excitement, threw his arms wide, and shouted excitedly: "After enduring all hardships, I have finally found this place, hahaha."
"Heaven has eyes; immortality is within reach."
The old man took a few quick steps, looking at the magnificent architecture before him with an agitated expression.
"President Yu, does this place really hold the secret to immortality?" A bodyguard stepped forward to ask; he had always maintained a skeptical attitude regarding the secret of immortality.
"It does, it certainly does. Master Lin, wouldn't you agree?" The old man stood up and said excitedly.
"President Yu, my grandfather told me about the secret of the Cloud Void Realm decades ago, but it is a pity that after that team of his entered, most of them died."
That master put away the Compass in his hand and said: "But we are luckier; we have reached the end, and here, we will surely find the secret of immortality."
"Hehe, indeed. Look at this magnificent architecture before us; this could not have been created by human hands. This place must hold the secret of immortality."
The old man was very excited; he shouted: "Let's go, finders keepers."
"President Yu, someone is coming." Just at this moment, a bodyguard looked behind them vigilantly.
They saw another team of people rushing over; the man leading this group had a fierce look on his face, and at a glance, one could tell he was no pushover.
"Finally arrived. Eh, there are people here?" The man caught sight of the group that had arrived a step earlier than him, and his expression changed slightly.
The two sides, numbering several dozen people, looked at each other, each harboring their own ulterior motives.
"Where are you friends from?" The old man spoke up, looking toward the man.
"Inherited. Who are you, sir?" The man looked at the old man with a sidelong glance.
"Are you also here for immortality?" The old man did not answer, but asked instead.
"Nonsense, why else would we be here?" The man sneered.
"We arrived first." A murderous intent already welled up in the old man's eyes.
"Hehe, so what if you arrived first? This place is not a place where rules are discussed; whoever has the harder fist has the truth." The man sneered, his gaze toward the old man clearly becoming unkind.
"Young man, one cannot ignore reason. Those who mix in the world must follow the rules." The old man snorted coldly, his hands clasped behind his back: "If you don't understand the rules, then today I will teach you how to understand them."
"Old thing, one foot is already in the coffin, right? You still dare to do so much?" The man sneered; he looked at the old man, and with both sides looking unkindly at each other, it seemed that if they disagreed, they would start fighting.
"Kid, try saying that again?" A fierce light appeared in the old man's eyes.
Although he was old, he was no pushover in his youth; now that he had encountered such a good thing, whoever dared to snatch it from him, he would risk his life to fight them.
The man did not waste words; he suddenly pulled out a gun and fired at the old man.
It was fortunate that the bodyguards beside the old man were quick-witted and swiftly tackled the old man to the ground, which prevented him from being shot.
Once guns were drawn, both sides immediately became chaotic; the two parties pulled out guns and exchanged fire, and this place instantly became a battlefield.
"Bastards, no sense of martial virtue! Kill him for me!" The old man, lying on the ground, was furious.
Neither side was a pushover, and soon people from both sides fell to the ground one after another. Just as the battle was about to end, the eighteen pillars turned again.
Both groups of people momentarily forgot the existence of the other; they all looked up in unison, watching the turning pillars.
They saw the green, oily light erupt once again from the eyes of the sacrificial wine vessels on the pillars.
*Pop, pop, pop*... Several heads exploded instantly, and headless corpses fell to the ground.
The old man and the man were scared out of their wits; they came here to find the secret of immortality, not to leave their lives behind.
The two of them turned to run, but an invisible force imprisoned them there. Immediately after, a green light flashed in both their eyes, and then they slowly turned around.
The two controlled men had green light flickering in their eyes, their expressions indifferent, and then they moved their bodies and slowly walked into the Stone Pillar Array.
They walked straight toward the Altar and then slowly knelt before it.
Just at this moment, Liu Lianxin's locked six senses were suddenly opened; she looked at the two people before her, and heard two *pop* sounds as their heads exploded.
Liu Lianxin closed her eyes, unable to bear watching.
"Open your eyes and take a good look at the fate of these people." The voice of the opposite sounded in Liu Lianxin's ear.
Her laughter was filled with eeriness and cold-bloodedness: "What is the use of cultivation? You watch these two people die before your eyes, yet you are powerless. This feeling is very helpless, isn't it?"
"Haha, become a Demon. Only then can I easily strip away your Jade Bone; your three lifetimes of cultivation will all belong to me."
"Don't even think about it." Liu Lianxin's eyes opened abruptly, and a flash of light passed through them.
At the same time, the Buddha Light on her body slowly rose; compared to just before, the Buddha Light on her was even more intense, and for a moment, the black mist shrouding her surroundings seemed to slowly dissipate.
"Good, very good." The opposite's scheme had not succeeded, and she sneered: "I underestimated your Buddha Face Buddha Heart."
"Locked in the array for so long, and you still have the ability to counterattack? But Liu Lianxin, everything you have was given by me; I understand you better than anyone." The opposite sneered: "You won't last long."
"I will last as long as I can." Liu Lianxin said indifferently: "Since you never had good intentions from the beginning, I will now formally tell you that the debt and fate between master and disciple ends here."
"From now on, you are no longer my master, and I am no longer your disciple; we are completely severed."
"Haha, endured for so long, and you finally said such words?" The opposite said with a smile: "The most primitive desires in a person's heart—you must vent them. Only then can you look down upon the world without any weaknesses."
"This is not my desire. Before today, I always considered you my master." Liu Lianxin said: "Even if you became a Demon, even if you slaughtered the innocent."
"But today, the reason I said these words is that I am utterly disappointed in you. This is not an evil thought; on the contrary, for what you have done, the Buddha will not forgive you."
