#121 - The Devil's Paradise, the Heroine's Cemetery (Please Order)
After exorcising demons and defending the righteous path, came the rather strenuous task of looting the corpses.
This banquet hall had been almost completely destroyed. Back when Duan Yun had just mastered Limitless Love, he had blown up the mountaintop of the grave hill.
The banquet hall carved out of this cave only partially collapsed, which could only be attributed to Duan Yun using only 50% of his strength this time, and its inherent stability.
However, at a glance, the numerous cracks were shocking. The entire mountain seemed like a shattered piece of porcelain, ready to break at any touch.
Those who could escape had already fled, while those who couldn't were caught in the blast and died violently.
I wonder if those onlookers who died for a few extra glances at the experts' duel regretted it before their deaths.
The death energy from the newly deceased continuously converged towards Duan Yun, and the Jade Sword Immortal's Dharma form became increasingly solid and real.
Duan Yun rummaged for a while before finding the gold sword that looked very valuable and the twisted Nine-Toothed Rake.
Although he was a novice in the martial world, he knew that these two weapons should be the most valuable.
When Duan Yun came out of the reception hall, the entire Vermilion Manor had become desolate.
Duan Yun's rampage upon entering had already frightened many people. If it weren't for the strict Pig family rules and cruel methods, most of them would have probably run away then and there.
Because the master of the manor had said that he would torture Old Devil Duan beyond recognition, these people had long heard of "Old Devil Duan," and the more they heard, the more bizarre it became.
Until the Old Devil descended, and the nightmare became reality.
After the news of the manor lord and his wife being brutally murdered by Old Devil Duan spread, no one dared to stay here.
After all, not everyone is a bloodthirsty spectator.
The huge manor became empty, with only corpses remaining.
Duan Yun was occasionally startled while cleaning up the battlefield in the manor.
After the manor was emptied, coupled with the randomly scattered corpses, the wind blowing through the trees was quite frightening.
Although he was the one who caused this frightening scene, it didn't stop Duan Yun from being scared.
After all, fear is innate.
Especially after seeing a body folded in half, with its head sticking out from its crotch, hanging on a tree as if watching him, Duan Yun's scalp tingled a bit.
This was probably his doing as well, but it was too chaotic at the time, and he didn't remember how he did it.
Duan Yun searched through Vermilion Manor and found that many places had been looted.
It was a scene of the猢狲散 (猢狲散 hú sūn sàn): when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter - a situation where a powerful person or organization loses power and its followers disperse.
This was what the Pig Demon deserved, but it was somewhat detrimental to Duan Yun.
He had traveled thousands of miles to exterminate the Pig Blackface's entire family. Not to mention the expenses for transportation, the silver spent on buying information alone was a considerable amount.
If this place was looted too much, then this young hero would get less.
Alas, it was evident that Pig Demon's several female martial artist wives and the Pig family members were all deserters and ingrates, definitely not good people.
Not even one of them had any foresight, not knowing to leave more for this young hero!
If he encountered them in the martial world in the future, he would definitely kill them all!
By this time, it was almost dark, and Duan Yun arrived at Pig Blackface's bedroom.
The reason for using the word "bedroom" was because this guy's sleeping place was really big. The flowers and bamboo in the garden were also very elegant. So-called palaces were nothing more than this.
However, this place had obviously been looted as well, so Duan Yun felt very empty standing in the room.
A good palace had suddenly become a deserted palace, leaving only a huge bed and a very thin quilt. Even the pillow had been taken away.
At this time, even if Young Hero Duan was the most refined, he was really a little angry!
"Damn! They didn't even leave a single hair!"
He raised the gold sword and swept the room with sword energy!
The walls of the room shattered, and even the fireplace for winter heating was cut open.
Duan Yun sighed. He was about to go elsewhere when he suddenly discovered a hole in the fireplace that had been cut open by his sword energy. A gentle, cold breeze blew from inside.
The hole was dark and led to stone steps going downwards.
Damn!
A secret chamber!
The standard plot of a martial arts novel!
Duan Yun's dead heart was rekindled.
He bent down and walked over, and he could see the structure of the mechanism, but it had been cut open by his sword energy.
From this, it could be seen that this was the standard way for him to open a secret chamber.
Because it was an unconventional approach, the hole was a bit small. Duan Yun forcibly widened it with his sword before bending down and entering, heading downwards.
The stone steps led downwards into darkness, not knowing where they would lead.
There were faint bloodstains on the cave walls, which looked a bit eerie.
Duan Yun reached into his pocket and pulled out the fire starter that every martial artist must have, and lit it directly.
The light of the flame illuminated the path ahead.
This was a relatively narrow stone path, and Duan Yun walked deeper into it.
Ahead, there were some large and small pits on both sides of the stone path.
Duan Yun walked over to take a look and immediately felt his hair stand on end.
In the pit on the left, there was a woman in a red dress, holding a water thorn, trying to stab him!
But she never stabbed.
The light of the fire starter reflected on her skin, which was fair and delicate, but her eyes were hollow, and she had no breath or heartbeat.
She was already dead, but she stood here so vividly.
Duan Yun continued to walk deeper, feeling more and more strange.
In the pits on both sides of the cave walls, the corpses of women appeared one after another, some with wooden plaques placed next to them.
"Mo Yu of Thousand Clear Mountain."
"Chen Qian, the Heroine of Green Road."
"Li Yun of Floating Willow Mountain."
Although they had been dead for a long time, they still looked fresh.
This reminded Duan Yun of specimens in an exhibition hall.
Yes, these women were all specimens.
Looking at these women placed in the cave walls like statues, Duan Yun couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
These women should also be female martial artists who had traveled in the martial world before.
Pig Blackface liked female martial artists and married many wives, all of whom were female martial artists.
These female martial artists, such as Chen Ying and the like, were obedient to him and later became his wives, but some female martial artists did not obey, so he harmed them and made them into specimens to be placed here.
This was the secret chamber under Pig Blackface's bedroom, which could be said to be the demon's paradise, but it was also the graveyard of female martial artists.
This pig was really too evil!
It was also because this righteous young hero transmigrated late and debuted late, otherwise there would definitely be fewer victimized female martial artists.
Looking at them standing here like living people even though they were dead, Duan Yun felt a little pity.
All in all, these female martial artists who would rather die than submit were considered his comrades.
No wonder there were fewer and fewer young heroes, female martial artists, and great heroes in the martial world. It was all the fault of these crazy demons.
At this time, Duan Yun had climbed onto a cave wall and taken off the gold hairpin on the head and the gold anklets on the feet of a female martial artist.
This Pig Demon was very perverted. He made them into specimens and also dressed them in gold and jade, dressing them up in the way he liked.
Duan Yun untied the shackles of these vulgar objects from the female martial artists and found that there was a large pile of them.
He piled them on the side of the road and continued to walk inside.
At this time, the light of the fire starter flickered, and this path with many female martial artist specimens had come to an end.
Behind it was a cave-like secret chamber.
In the middle of the secret chamber was a statue.
This statue was wearing clothes and looked like a handsome scholar, but when you looked at its eyes, you felt like it was a pig demon.
It was clearly in the shape of a human, but when you stared at the statue's eyes, you would feel like it was an extremely ferocious pig demon.
Duan Yun couldn't help but feel strange emotions in his heart.
He thought of Pig Blackface's appearance and wondered, "Did that pig want to cultivate into this?"
There were still some incense candles left in front of the statue. Obviously, Pig Blackface worshiped it.
Duan Yun continued to walk inside to see if there were any other valuable things inside.
He was in a much better mood after untying the shackles from the female martial artists just now.
This secret chamber of Pig Blackface had a strong sense of horror and evil. His remaining wives might know about this place, but they might not have come down to loot it all because of time or fear.
This secret chamber was not big, and it reached the end in the blink of an eye. What was displayed in front of Duan Yun was a brightly colored mural.
This mural was painted very vividly and realistically. It told the story of how Pig Blackface's ancestors accidentally discovered a mysterious manor in a mountain.
In the manor, there was a statue that was neither human nor pig.
It was very similar to the statue behind him?
The Pig family generations worshiped the statue and also practiced the techniques in the manor. After that, a strange scene appeared.
On the mural, it was painted that every once in a while, pig family members who had achieved success in cultivation would leave the mysterious manor.
And although these people had different heights, genders, and clothing, they had one thing in common that was very similar.
Their faces.
Each of them looked like a face that was neither human nor pig, just like the statue they worshiped.
In that instant, goosebumps rose all over Duan Yun's body.
Could this be the secret of Pig No-Face's cultivation?
For a moment, Duan Yun only felt that the statue behind him was no longer a dead object, but some kind of living demon.
Suddenly, Duan Yun's sharp eyes saw a small hole in the corner of the mural.
This small hole was extremely inconspicuous, but Duan Yun also saw it.
Did this look like a keyhole?
Was there another secret chamber behind this, hiding Pig Blackface's deeper treasures and secrets?
For a moment, he couldn't find the key.
But Young Hero Duan had never used a key to enter this secret chamber.
So, in the next moment, he saw sword energy overflowing from his fingertips.
The sword energy merged with death energy and pierced into the small hole.
Whether there was a secret chamber or not, he just needed to cut open this cave wall completely!
Duan Yun flicked his finger upwards, and the small hole and the stone wall above it were cut open in an instant.
But in the next moment, he only heard a bang, and flames spewed out. Duan Yun quickly dodged.
In just an instant, the entire cave wall burst into flames.
"Pig Blackface! I fuck your mother!"
Duan Yun was surrounded by body-breaking sword energy, separating the flames.
Obviously, he had triggered a mechanism, and this place would turn into a sea of fire.
This Pig Blackface was really insidious. Even if he died, he didn't want this young hero to get more of his treasures and secrets.
Flames were mixed with thick black smoke, and Duan Yun retreated!
Before leaving, he raised his hand, and the body-breaking sword energy buzzed out, directly smashing the statue's body!
After that, he came to the aisle and used the North Star Divine Skill to suck the jewelry he had just taken from the female martial artists onto his body.
Finally, this place was filled with thick smoke, and the flames spread. Duan Yun stared at the fire and seized the time to take the jewelry from the remaining female martial artists.
With a bang!
Duan Yun was almost blasted out!
His clothes, pants, and boots had long been burned through, and half of his leg hair had been burned off. It could be said that he had suffered heavy losses.
But looking at the pile of jewelry sucked onto his body, he was still quite happy.
Not too much of a loss!
In the raging flames, the female martial artists who had been made into specimens were completely ignited and freed.
And in the depths of the secret chamber, the flames were even more intense. The broken statue that had been knocked down by Duan Yun fell into the sea of fire and seemed to blink.
