Among them, an old man with white hair and beard flipped his hand. Bai Sha and the others immediately felt the world spin around them, and in the next moment, they found themselves in a pitch-black space.
Where were they?
Inside a Spatial Artifact?
At this moment, they could still hear voices from outside. Di Tian was continuing to give instructions to the Devil Cultivators.
“Next, I will go to the Bloodthirsty Territory to study the Eerie. If you produce any results in your research, be sure to inform me.”
“Yes, Lord Di Tian.”
The voices outside gradually faded.
In the darkness, the Demon Cultivators could only feel themselves being carried along. During this process, silence fell upon the outside world; there was no more information.
When light appeared before their eyes again, they found themselves in a spacious cabin.
The cabin interior was completely empty. They had all been thrown inside quite roughly.
The old man who had brought them stood at the cabin’s entrance. After dumping them there, he said to the other Devil Cultivators outside the cabin, “They have all been tainted by the Eerie. Do not come into contact with them casually, lest you become infected as well.”
“Yes, Steward.”
The cabin door was then shut.
Watching this scene, the many Demon Cultivators looked at one another in dismay.
“What does it mean that we’ve been tainted by the Eerie? Will the Eerie’s effects continue to manifest on us?” one Demon Cultivator asked.
The moment the Eerie was mentioned, every Demon Cultivator felt a chill in their hearts. The scenes that had occurred earlier in the Bloodthirsty Territory replayed in their minds, filling them with terror.
“These Devil Cultivators are from the Heavenly Devil Palace, right? Why are they studying the Eerie?”
“How will they study us? What fate awaits us?”
“With so many Heavenly Devil Palace Devil Cultivators showing up in the Eastern Sea, how will the Demon Alliance react? Will they come to save us?”
The Demon Cultivators spoke one after another, their hearts full of questions.
Bai Sha was also pondering, and gradually, understanding dawned on her.
She knew something the other Demon Cultivators did not—that the Heavenly Devil Palace wanted to refine the entire Eastern Sea. It was said that Devil Empress Di Xuan was the one leading this.
If they wanted to refine the Eastern Sea, there was one place the Heavenly Devil Palace could not avoid no matter what.
That was the forbidden zone of the Eastern Sea—the Wailing Abyss!
The fact that the Wailing Abyss was a forbidden zone of the Eastern Sea spoke volumes about its danger. It might even be more terrifying than Bai Sha could imagine—so terrifying that the Heavenly Devil Palace could not refine the Eastern Sea without resolving the problem the Wailing Abyss presented.
The Heavenly Devil Palace’s failure to refine the Eastern Sea across rebirth after rebirth might not only be because of the Demon Alliance; it could also be related to the Wailing Abyss.
Thus, they needed to study the Eerie.
The Eerie came from the Wailing Abyss. Studying the Wailing Abyss directly to devise a countermeasure was likely no easy task. So the Eerie spreading out from the Wailing Abyss had, without question, become a very suitable research subject.
The Heavenly Devil Palace must have learned of the Bloodthirsty Territory’s situation through some channel, and Devil Son Di Tian had acted accordingly.
Bai Sha quickly analyzed the situation based on what she knew.
But understanding the situation did not solve the crisis she currently faced.
The crisis of the Eerie was gone, but now there was the crisis of the Heavenly Devil Palace—no, the crisis of the Eerie may not necessarily be over.
Bai Sha recalled what the Heavenly Devil Palace’s Devil Cultivators had said: the Demon Cultivators had been infected by the Eerie, which was why they needed to be captured for study.
But now that they had left the Undersea Palace, how would the Eerie manifest on them next?
As Bai Sha was pondering this, she suddenly smelled a fragrance.
A fragrance?
Bai Sha’s heart jolted in alarm, and she quickly looked toward the source.
The other Demon Cultivators also caught the scent at that moment and turned to look.
There in the center of the cabin, at some unknown point, a pot of soup had appeared. Inside the pot, emerald green leaves were tender and glossy, and the skinned body of a seahorse lay there, neatly sliced, emitting a rich, thick aroma.
It was the Hundred-Leaf Seahorse!
Seeing what lay before them, the Demon Cultivators recoiled in instinctive retreat, their faces etched with terror.
The Hundred-Leaf Seahorse, who had been among them just moments ago, had actually become a dish?
“How can this be? Why is this happening? Even after leaving that place, we’re still becoming food?”
“What does this mean? In the end, will all of us Demon Cultivators become food?”
“No, I don’t want this. I don’t want this!”
No one had imagined that even after leaving the Undersea Palace, the terrifying Eerie would still affect them.
They felt nothing but horror, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, their minds completely shattered.
The Star River Tortoise could not help but shout out as well, “Where are the people of the Heavenly Devil Palace? Weren’t you going to study us? Can’t you deal with the Eerie affecting us?”
