Outside the town, Hong Yu was alone. When he turned around, he could still hear the sounds of laughter.

After repelling the cult, the town was temporarily out of danger, and he had gained the loyalty of the three sisters of the blue sky and the wise men such as Lan Qifu. It could be said that his gains were not big, but he still had a bigger goal to achieve, so he only needed to take a short rest in the town before continuing his journey.

In the morning, the air was cool, the fog was everywhere, and the visibility was extremely low. However, Hong Yu was no longer the same as before, his cultivation and eyesight were astonishing, and he was not afraid of the fog, his movement was extremely quick, and he shuttled through the mountain stream and forest stones, avoiding all kinds of powerful auras, and went deeper into the territory of the cult.

Gradually, he traveled another 100 kilometers and arrived at the base of the demonic sect.

This was a dangerous valley, and only a heavily guarded road led straight into the depths of the valley. The other three sides were surrounded by dangerous peaks and steep cliffs, reaching up to three thousand zhang in height, making it difficult for birds to cross.

Hong Yu stood on both sides of the valley, on top of a mountain peak. His eyes were filled with power, and he could see the entire valley in front of him.

If the imperial government were to attack them, it would be easy to defend but hard to attack. In fact, it would be a natural fortress, even if there was a ten-fold army attacking it, the followers of the Demonic Sect only needed to guard the valley entrance and destroy the main road.

Not only that, Hong Yu also discovered that, deep within this valley, various defensive structures, such as the Evil God's temple, were being built. Many of the heretics had ordered the common people to move the wood, stone, brick, and even all sorts of rare gold and silver treasures from outside the valley.

The Demonic Sect had already hardened their hearts to use this place as a base to build a huge fortress to defend against the imperial army's extermination. They had even sent teams to loot and capture the people, using this place as their tools and fangs.

Whichever of them resisted, they would be immediately whipped and beaten to a pulp, and were even dragged to the open area outside of the Evil God's temple, where they would be cut open and pulled out of their internal organs, directly refined into the Berserker Evil Pill, swallowed by the crowd, and not even their heads would be spared. They would then be chopped down and presented to the statues of the Evil God in the godly temple.

The Evil God's temple in the center of the valley took up an extremely wide area, with several thousand acres of it. The pillars stood tall, supporting the dome of the temple's glazed roof tiles, the ground was stained with dried blood, and the corpses were piled up, forming a road of white bones, leading to the temple's pitch-black abyss like gate.

This scene was undoubtedly too shocking. In these past few days, they had killed countless civilians and looted many towns in order to develop to such a state.

Separated by the dome of the temple by the glazed roof, Hong Yu could vaguely see two three hundred meters tall statues of the Evil God standing at the center of the temple. Both of them had red fangs, and their appearances were completely different from that of a human. Beneath the Evil God statue, the heads of the followers of evil were piled into mountains. All sorts of horrible death appearances were seen, making one's scalp tingle with numbness.

It seemed as if they had killed too many people, the two evil god statues also gave birth to a divine aura, and a faint black aura wrapped around their bodies, the baleful aura above their heads rushed straight into the clouds, breaking through them, and in front of them were many demonic phantoms running about, wailing like gods and ghosts, causing people to feel a sense of fear from the depths of their hearts, they trembled with fear, as though the two statues were about to come to life, opening their mouths and chewing them alive.

From time to time, dozens of civilians would be dragged up like sheep and cattle, beheaded and cut into pieces. Immediately, streams of evil Qi would descend and interweave with the gall bladder on that dead body, releasing waves of black smoke, which would distort and form into many brave pills.

Seeing the pill take shape, the experts of the demonic sect didn't hesitate to grab it and swallow it. In the blink of an eye, all of them had gained quite a bit.

Killing people to concoct pills was an extremely fast way of cultivation. Almost all of them were devils that killed people without batting an eye.

"Damn it!" The man-eating demon! " Hong Yu was furious, but he still held himself back and didn't make a move. This was the foundation of the evil sect, so it was unknown how many experts were hidden in the dark. There might be some Goliath masters lurking in there, so he couldn't act rashly.

Not only that, he had to wait until night, using the cover of darkness to dare to sneak in and plan things out. Otherwise, it would be easy for him to be discovered by experts and become a disaster.

"I have to first enter the small world and think of a way to raise my cultivation. Only then will I have the confidence to face the experts from the various sects and temples."

His body disappeared, and he stood still in the small world of the 'Crest of the Spear', taking out three 'Loyal Liver Pill'.

"Gulp."

A strong medicinal energy was born, it surged through his four limbs and bones like a violent torrent. Hong Yu only felt an intense pain, as if tens of thousands of steel needles were stirring inside his body, but it also felt like waves of boiling water were burning and burning his meridians.

With a stroke of luck, he suddenly activated his trillions of golden lances. The ten golden lances vibrated and immediately produced a mysterious power, swiftly refining the pill power that had gone out of control in his body.

However, there was a mysterious will that was in contact with his mind. It had an effect as if it was the will of the Loyal Liver Pill! Those who consumed this pill would be able to change their minds, possess a valiant aura, and experience a great boost to their spirit.

However, this kind of change was in accordance with cultivation common sense. It changed gradually and accumulated over time. It would not erode a person's mind and turn them into those demonic monsters that killed people and refined pills.

"Boom —"

A thunderous rumble reverberated throughout the small world.

Hong Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and his entire demeanor changed greatly. He no longer had his usual modesty, but instead, the light in his eyes burst out, striking at the heart's desire. With a sweep of his eyes, he released his mind, and within a radius of several acres, nothing could escape the observation of his mind.

His spirit had actually improved once again, reaching the level where he could shine with a single candle!

"Zhu Zhao Qiu was actually a superpower that was formed when one reached a certain level of mental strength. Even an ordinary expert who had broken free from two or three shackles would not have it. However, I've reached this level through the Loyalty Pill. This is truly a pleasant surprise." Hong Yu felt happy in his heart as he sensed the changes: "I heard that after Candle Light has grown stronger, his mind will be strengthened and he will be able to think about everything at the same time. He will be able to do all sorts of calculations in his head and will not interfere with each other and increase his efficiency by a hundred to a thousand times. However, that spirit was something that not even powerful people in the Martial Arts Realm or the Martial Ancestor Realm could possess. However, now that I have the ability, Mind Expanse, it can cover a hundred meter radius around me. In the face of this situation, I can hide and seek for experts, but I don't know if I can escape from the eyes and ears of those experts who have broken three shackles or higher. "

As he thought of this, his figure flashed and he once again appeared on the peak of the mountain.

It was already close to sunset, and the valley below them was completely dark. A bit of dim candlelight was emitted from the Demonic Sect's temple, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Hong Yu actually leaped off the mountain peak with a single leap. His body was like a light feather as he glided through the air.

Most of the buildings in the valley were not fully formed yet. The heretics had set up tents, but the civilians were not treated like this. They were kept in cages with bamboo fences, open to the outside world, snuggling together to keep warm.

Hong Yu quietly descended into a bamboo cage and immediately roused the few commoners around him from their stupor.

"There's someone …"

A commoner cried out in alarm, wanting to inform the heretics.

Immediately, a few of the followers who were holding torches and carrying sabers on their waists walked over with alert. They seemed to have noticed the abnormality as well.

A life and death moment!
