The agreed-upon hour with Mang Qi had co Chen arrived at the Boundless Catacombs once more, the four sacred beasts by his side
Several thousandQi’s side Jiang Chen gasped to himself as he swept his eyes across them The demons were impressive indeed; even the cannon fodder they enslaved was incredibly numerous They weren’t weak in ter Qi had said all those years ago, there were at least a hundred empyrean cultivators In fact, by his count, there were more than two hundred More importantly, there were Gods here as well!
That divine realm cultivators had been enslaved by the demons just the same was the most remarkable
However, all the cultivators he saw had soulless eyes set in blank faces Countless years had nearly completely worn away their wills Only freedom could revive the Chen coolly
Mang Qi looked a little embarrassed “Not necessarily everyone” He stepped forward “Some didn’t believe h, is here”
Jiang Chen’s face darkened “Alright I’, but I see no reason to be responsible for the lives of all You lot, register yourselves I will issue individual identifications to all of you, without which you will not be per this will be summarily cut down!”

“Don’t be stuck in your old ways,Qi proclaimed loudly “If the formation is restored and we don’t take the exit, ill be stuck here for eternity
“Don’t you want your freedoo back to your ho now?” Freedom and home were the only two prospects that could elicit the remotest amount of excitement in these people
They dared not venture any thoughts of family After all these years, how could any relation of theirs still be alive?
Jiang Chen handed over a pile of prepared jade slips to Mang Qi
“When the formation comes back alive, you must raise up your jade slip in hand Anyone without one will be killed on sight! Re more As soon as he left the jade slips, he departed
