The old woman was furious after her identity was revealed, ”How can you be any better? You killed the entire sect's people just to get a weapon. I'm a swindler, but I'm not like you, a homicidal maniac.”

In other words, they had become a fool. Since there was no value in being useless, Liu Ruchen directly killed the corpse and threw it into a hole in the prison. This hole was like a bottomless pit, when a person enters it they would become completely silent. Even Liu Ruchen did not know where this hole led to; he only knew that it was used to dispose of corpses.

For the time being, he did not manage to recover and could only stare blankly at Liu Ruchen.

Liu Ruochen brought water and food for these people to eat.

A beautiful woman took a piece of bread with meat between her fingers and said gratefully, ”Thank you.”

”No need, I can't think of how to deal with you for now, so I can only make you suffer a bit more.”

”Little brother, you can let us out. We are not all bad people. We were just greedy enough to enter the ancient building and get arrested.”

Liu Ruochen looked over to the source of the voice and saw a shifty looking man. ”Zhang Heng, you're not a good person either.”

When the shifty man saw that Liu Ruchen knew his name, he stopped talking and curled up on the edge of the cage to eat some bread and drink some water.

”What year is it?” The beautiful woman asked softly. She did not make a ruckus like the others. Even though she was trapped, her attitude was very light. She was worthy of being the young miss of a big family.

This beauty was the young miss of a big family in the early Qing Dynasty. However, according to the information from the ancient building, this family was exterminated by the imperial court. No one survived but her.

Liu Ruchen said, ”It's been more than two hundred years since you were last here. Your family members were exterminated by the dynasty, so they didn't survive.”

Hearing this, the woman dropped the bread in her hand and immediately became dispirited. She was already mentally prepared for the departure of her family, but being annihilated was a huge blow to her.

Liu Ruchen did not have much sympathy for these ancient people. He only came here for one purpose, to see if there was anything he could use. If not, he would empty this place and turn it into a prison for those he did not want to kill.

Now, even though Liu Ruchen was not very clear about what was happening outside, he already knew that many factions were after the ancient buildings. Several families that were in and out of the ancient buildings were being hunted down, and now, the people that were being hunted were living in the houses around the ancient buildings. The fates of these people had already been tied to the ancient building.

Liu Ruchen knew that the only reason why he came to this ancient building was because of the people that were locked up here and the martial arts manuals that were stored in the depths of the building. Unfortunately, even if he obtained the Nine Mystical Emperor Scripture, it would be useless because only those who had mastered the Nine Mystical Technique would be able to practice it. It was almost impossible for outsiders to obtain the Nine Mystical Emperor Scripture, unless the ancient building was demolished. However, it was true that the foundation of the ancient building had never appeared since ancient times, because the self-protection of the ancient building was extremely terrifying. The dozens of people here were all powerful individuals who had been imprisoned for decades, hundreds of years, or even a thousand years.

Since they had already made their move, Liu Ruchen was not afraid of them. First, they killed a group of people, and if the rest could be used for their own use, then they could use them to train them into puppets. Although the puppets could only release half of the power of these people, they were all super experts, and some of them were even warriors of Heaven Stage.

Martial artists were divided into four levels: Earth Martial Saint, Martial King, Heaven Martial Saint, and Martial Dao. Heaven Ranked Martial Disciples were rare in the modern world, and those who could become Martial Kings were already considered powerful experts. Their descendants naturally wanted to welcome the ancestors of the ancient buildings, but unfortunately, Liu Ruchen would not let them do as they pleased. Danger needed to be nipped in the bud. Liu Ruchen was a man who killed. His actions were decisive and swift; he would not hesitate to do so.

”Do you want to go out?”

Liu Ruochen asked the girl that he spoke to earlier. This girl was the protector of the clan and had snuck into the ancient building. She was not a wicked person, but the ancient building did not show any mercy to the fairer sex.

”What's the use of going out if your heart is dead?”

Liu Ruchen said, ”Bloodline can be continued, and you're the only one in the entire clan. You need to do it for the clan's bloodline. This should be what your parents wish for.”
