Chapter 461

"A criminal?"

Lu Xuan muttered softly as he observed the bald Blood Brother confined within the forbidden area, his movements restricted by a chain magical artifact clamped around his collarbone. Based on Lu Xuan's understanding of the sect's laws, the crimes committed by the bald Blood Brother must have been significant.

"That's correct. In my youth, I was impulsive and easily angered, committing the grave sin of taking lives. However, there were reasons behind those actions, and my crimes were not deemed worthy of death. Thus, Uncle Cangwu confined me here in the forbidden land to deal with demon beasts and temper my desire for slaughter," the bald cultivator explained slowly.

"Staying alone in the forbidden land, spending every day among demon beasts, centuries have passed without my noticing, and I have no idea what the outside world has become," he added, his blood-red eyes looking profoundly into the depths of the tunnel, remaining silent.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

"Imprisoned for centuries, spending every day slaughtering demon beasts."

"‘Slaying demons and exorcising devils within the Myriad Beasts Grotto's forbidden land’?"

A ludicrous thought flashed through Lu Xuan's mind, realizing he initially had no knowledge of the bald Blood Brother's existence.

He stood quietly to the side, pondering the truthfulness of the bald cultivator's tone.

His identity as a disciple of the Sky Sword Sect should not be false. After all, the sect would not confine an unrelated person or a nefarious cultivator within the forbidden land of the Myriad Beasts Grotto.

From his words, it was evident that Real Person Cangwu was aware of his existence.

However, the exact nature of his sins was indeterminable.

Nevertheless, it had little to do with Lu Xuan. What he valued were the abundant demon beast carcasses within the forbidden land.

"Do you not grow tired of slaughtering demon beasts every day, Blood Brother?"

Lu Xuan inquired tentatively.

"I've grown accustomed to it, not feeling any particular aversion or fatigue," replied the bald cultivator.

"Judging by your condition, the years of slaying beasts seem to have had a significant impact on you."

"Heh, that's inevitable," the bald cultivator said with a smirk, revealing his sharp teeth.

"There are three types of demon beasts that need to be dealt with in the forbidden land."

"The first type is of common origin, mainly used for various experiments and as food for certain demon beasts within the Myriad Beasts Grotto that require blood."

"This process is relatively simple; after killing them, the useful parts are separated out."

Being inherently nefarious and strange, they would prefer demon beast flesh tainted with toxic and strange energies, hardly being picky eaters.

Perhaps if Lu Xuan brought them a pile of flesh tainted with toxic gases, blood scent, or yin and filthy airs, they might even find the taste too mild!

"Since you're determined to handle the demon beast flesh, Junior Brother, please help me dispose of these scraps."

"A thousand zhang deep abyss lies a few miles ahead, where these demon beast scraps are usually discarded."

"My mobility is limited, and disposing of them is not as easy as killing a few demon beasts. From now on, this task will be yours, Junior Brother."

"No problem."

Lu Xuan agreed readily, effortlessly approaching the pile of useless demon beast scraps and stuffing the mountainous materials into a storage bag.

"I never imagined, as a distinguished inner sect disciple and the most famous spirit plant cultivator of the Sky Sword Sect, I would end up scavenging in the forbidden land."

Carrying a pile of scraps, he followed the bald cultivator's directions to the dark, deep abyss.

The abyss was filled with an unknown quantity of accumulated demon beast flesh, with blood energy surging. Even from a high vantage point, Lu Xuan could clearly sense it.

As his spiritual sense swept the surroundings, a greyish-white pupil appeared vaguely in the void. Opening the storage bag, he poured a large amount of demon beast scraps downward.

Just as they fell less than thirty feet, a wrinkled, light grey pouch appeared below. The mouth of the pouch opened wide, swallowing all the demon beast scraps.

It was a fifth-grade treasure originating from the Profound Insect Vine, the Gluttonous Insect Pouch. Its space was many times larger than that of a normal storage bag, able to keep the demon beast flesh as fresh as possible, making it ideal for storage.

"Unfortunately, there aren't many demon beast scraps left in the abyss. Otherwise, I could go down and collect them into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch."

His eyes gleamed faintly as he looked at the bottom of the abyss, noticing that not many demon beast scraps remained.

"Fortunately, I have the Gluttonous Insect Pouch. It can hold a large amount of scraps and keep them fresh."

"From now on, I'll take advantage of the opportunity to handle demon beast scraps, collecting them to feed the Blood Woe Flower, the Aberrant Longevity Peach, and the Flesh Spirit Deity."

"Running a household is not easy, having to scavenge to feed the plants."

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
