970: Chapter 970: Stealing Power_1 970: Chapter 970: Stealing Power_1 “We’re being corralled like livestock, no doubt to torment us, and for another purpose—to feed their gu bugs.”

The youth replied.

Long Yan frowned slightly, this lad seemed to know not much, Lan Tianming’s objectives certainly must be far more nuanced.

After a pause, Long Yan continued to ask, “Do you know who they are?”

The youth shook his head slightly, “I do not know.

I have never seen these people before, they are certainly not from the Temple of Beasts.”

“…”

Long Yan couldn’t help but feel speechless, as if these words were needless to say, these people were definitely not from the Temple of Beasts.

For the rest of the time, Long Yan learned some more about the situation from the youth and gathered some useful information.

All in all, this place was a prison, the outermost part of the prison.

The deeper they went, the stronger the imprisoned people were.

The number of people imprisoned here was at least in the hundreds.

Furthermore, at the deepest part of this prison, there was a Gu Pool.

Those taken to this place had a slender chance of survival.

“It seems that I need to find a way to go deeper.”

Long Yan thought to himself.

The Four Heavenly Monarchs were certainly imprisoned in the deepest part, his first priority was to meet the Four Heavenly Monarchs, and assess their situation.

For the subsequent time, Long Yan secretly activated the Heavenly Dragon Talisman, devouring the Power of Time within his body, waiting for the right opportunity.

As the days went by, five days had swiftly passed.

“They’re coming.”

Long Yan sensed that two auras were approaching.

He immediately ceased his cultivation, reversed the flow of his Qi and blood, and his face became instantly pale, appearing weak, while suppressing his own strength, making it seem as if he was in critical condition.

Suddenly, two black-robbed people arrived outside of Long Yan’s stone chamber and unlocked the door.

“Take him.”

Immediately, a man in black robe grabbed Long Yan and left the stone chamber, heading towards the deeper parts.

“Where are you guys taking me?”

With a weak voice, Long Yan asked as he observed his surroundings.

Every word was a struggle.

Indeed, the further they went, the stronger the imprisoned people in the stone chambers were.

Only thing was, they were nearly all half-dead.

“Kid, you’re in for a world of hurt.”

The man in the black robe sneered.

Very quickly, the two black-robed men brought Long Yan to a spacious area.

“Evil aura.”

This place was filled with an overwhelmingly evil aura, causing one’s scalp to tingle.

Looking ahead, Long Yan saw a round pool with a diameter of about three meters.

The pool was filled with a black liquid that was constantly boiling, emitting a tremendously evil aura.

This must be the Gu Pool.

“Kid, enjoy.”

The man in the black robe sneered, and then threw Long Yan directly into the Gu Pool.

“Let’s go, come back in half a day to fetch him, he should be about done by then.”

The two men, not willing to stay in this dreadful place any longer, turned and left, not even sparing Long Yan a glance.

“What’s the mystery behind this Gu Pool?”

In the Gu Pool, Long Yan was enveloped by an inky liquid.

The evil power swept over his whole body.

To make even a slight movement was incredibly difficult.

To escape from the Gu Pool seemed even harder.

“Hmm, it’s actually devouring life force.”

At that moment, Long Yan realized that the evil power was actually absorbing his lifeline power.

Accompanied by intense pain that spread across his whole body, he couldn’t help but shudder.

“So that’s how it is.”

The evil power was cruelly draining his lifeline power, making it feel like thousands of ants were biting at once.

His internal organs were occupied by the evil power, the intense pain was enough to make someone go insane.

Being in this Gu Pool was like enduring countless punishments.

To be here for a moment was a torment, remaining for half a day was akin to straddling the gate of death.

Immediately, Long Yan released the prohibition, and True Yang Power surged from his Dantian.

True Yang Power was the nemesis of evil power, instantly driving the evil power out of his body.

The surrounding evil powers didn’t dare to approach him anymore, and the pain vanished.

“The True Yang Power should be able to purify these evil powers.”

With True Yang Power surrounding him, evil powers didn’t dare to approach Long Yan.

Long Yan reached out and grabbed a group of evil power.

True Yang Power flowed from his palm, enveloping the evil power.

The evil power was gradually being purified, and even its color was changing.

About a quarter of an hour later, the ball of evil power was completely purified by the True Yang Power, and a pure group of energy appeared before Long Yan.

“Such a dense lifeline.”

The energy contained a dense lifeline.

Unless the injuries were too severe, swallowing this energy could definitely heal them.

“Could this be Lan Tianming’s ultimate goal?”

Long Yan’s eyebrows knotted.

These evil powers would devour life force.

If someone used special methods to separate the lifeline power from these evil powers, it would undoubtedly be a great resource for cultivation.

This might be Lan Tianming’s real purpose.

“I should take this opportunity to absorb more lifeline power.”

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Long Yan activated the Nine Suns Divine Art and began to extract lifeline power from the evil powers.

Most of the people imprisoned here were from the Temple of Beasts.

Since he had come, he had to find a way to bring everyone out.

This lifeline power was something that everyone was lacking.

The evil power was stubborn, but before the Nine Suns Divine Art, it was insignificant.

Lifeline power was gradually extracted from the evil power.

Time passed bit by bit, and half a day passed in a flash.

“That should be enough.”

The two black-robed people were expected to return, so Long Yan dissipated the Nine Suns Divine Art, sealed his True Yuan, and acted as if he had been tortured by the evil power.

For half a day, he had absorbed a lot of lifeline power, all stored within the Azure Dragon Ring.

About ten breaths later, the two black-robed men walked in from outside.

“Kid, how does it feel?”

The man in black standing on the left looked at Long Yan with interest.

“This grandpa here is very comfortable, like soaking in a hot spring.”

With a grim face, Long Yan laughed maniacally, revealing no clues.

“This Gutsy guy, you want to die?

Not that easy.”

Such scenes weren’t new to the two black-robed men, so they weren’t surprised.

With that, one of the men in black released a stream of energy, scattering the evil power, and then pulled Long Yan out of the Gu Pool.

At this moment, Long Yan’s heart sank as he rightly had guessed, these black-robed men had a method to suppress the evil power.

Shortly thereafter, the man in black took Long Yan out of the evil space, threw him back into the stone chamber he originally was in, set up a prohibition, and then left.
