The air was so thick with the reek of blood that everyone could smell it. One could only imagine that a river of blood flowed just ahead.

"My lord," Liu Tianji said, "it seems something terrible is happening up ahead. Should we speed up and take a look?"

Wu Tian nodded. With such a heavy stench of blood in the air, everyone could already guess what lay before them.

Wu Tian’s group quickened their pace and finally saw the Barrier. The scene before it was gruesome: bodies lay strewn about, blood flowed in rivers, and corpses were piled high like mountains.

Among the perpetrators was an Immortal Seeker, his hand clamped around an old woman’s head. The old woman shrieked in terror, "No! Don’t! Please, don’t!"

But the Immortal Seeker turned a deaf ear. Clutching her head, he charged forward, dragging her body along and using it like a "Spiral Pill" to slam her head directly into the Barrier. Instantly, the old woman’s head exploded in a shower of blood and gore. Her body slumped to the ground, dead beyond any doubt. As they watched, the white light of the Barrier indeed dimmed considerably.

"These people... no, they’re a pack of beasts!" Wu Tian and the others watched from a distance, Liu Tianji and the rest grinding their teeth, their voices filled with fury.

Even Yin Fengxue, the master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, was shocked. How could such animals exist? What they’re doing is more ruthless than anything I’ve ever done!

The victims were all locals. They were not Immortal Seekers but had likely fled to this place to escape the wars raging on the surface. They longed for peace, but they never expected to meet such a horrific end. It was clear that all the innocents were now dead.

The light from the Barrier was dimmer, but it still held. The Immortal Seekers gathered before Luo Qingshan.

"Young Master, your method worked perfectly, but we’ve run out of people nearby."

"Yes, should we transport more from farther away?" the Immortal Seekers asked, troubled.

Luo Qingshan sighed. "No, we don’t know if the Barrier will regenerate on its own. Therefore, we must press our advantage. I think..." He trailed off, a difficult expression on his face.

"Young Master, just say what’s on your mind."

"Please, Young Master, just tell us," the Immortal Seekers pleaded, begging him for a solution.

Luo Qingshan hesitated for a long moment before asking, "In your quest to find an immortal, are you willing to sacrifice your own lives?"

His words hung in the air, and everyone understood. The Immortal Seekers exchanged uneasy glances. Who among them wanted to die?

Suddenly, one Immortal Seeker turned on his companion, kicking him with such force that he flew straight into the Barrier and was instantly obliterated. The Barrier’s light weakened a little more.

Before Luo Qingshan’s eyes, the so-called brothers-in-arms suddenly turned on one another, targeting the weakest among them. A brutal betrayal erupted.

"Why are you doing this?" screamed the handful who were recognized as the weakest. "Were all those years of brotherhood a lie?"

"If you were stronger, wouldn’t you do the same? Wouldn’t you sacrifice the weak to chip away at the Barrier’s power with their Life Force?" the others retorted, their actions ruthless. They seized those they had once called brothers, grabbed their heads, and smashed them into the Barrier.

BANG! With a sound like a shattering watermelon, the slaughter continued. After fifty of the original two hundred Immortal Seekers had been sacrificed, the Barrier finally dissipated.

Luo Qingshan walked out and gazed at the corpses strewn across the ground. He sighed, "This is all my fault."

"No, Young Master, this has nothing to do with you."

"That’s right. We’re the cruel ones."

"The Barrier is open now. Let’s go down and see what’s inside."

Hearing this, Luo Qingshan nodded.

Is Luo Qingshan a good person? No!

Luo Qingshan had the appearance of a Scholar and seemed afraid of the sight of blood. For instance, as he stared at the gore on the ground, his legs were trembling uncontrollably. To an onlooker, it was a tremor of fear. But Wu Tian knew it was a tremor of excitement.
