As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

"Run!"

More than a dozen figures covered in blood were escaping at high speed. There was no lack of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators among them.

"These damn grotto-heavens are too ruthless. Are they not afraid of retribution by slaughtering all the explorers in this area?" some people roared angrily. However, they could only duck their heads and flee with all their might, not daring to turn back.

Behind them, a few cultivators with powerful auras were approaching at a rapid speed. They took out a large net that was filled with spiritual light and enveloped the dozen or so people.

"I've caught some more cannon fodder. I hope it's enough this time!" one of the pursuers said indifferently, as if he was looking at a group of farm animals.

When the dozen or so people who were running for their lives saw the huge net that enveloped them, their faces revealed despair. "It's over!"

The large net rapidly contracted, and like a predator, it pulled the people into the net. They were squeezed into a ball, picked up, and flew backward.

However, at this moment, a sword aura suddenly appeared in the clouds. It was like a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, suddenly slashing across the void.

Slash!

Blood rained down. The two pursuers did not have any time to react before they were killed.

The cultivators who were caught in the net were stunned for a moment before they revealed ecstatic expressions.

"Who are you? You're courting death!" the remaining pursuers shouted nervously and looked around in shock and anger.

Powerful auras burst out one after another as they vigilantly checked the surroundings. However, they could not find anything.

What greeted them was only a merciless sword aura, accompanied by blazing flames and surging clouds.

A few seconds later, these pursuers were all dead, leaving nothing behind.

The large net fell to the ground. However, the dozen or so cultivators inside were nervous and did not dare speak.

This kind of strength was terrifying. Who exactly was behind it? They did not even show their face and still casually killed several Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

At this moment, a figure slowly appeared from the clouds and landed on the ground in front of them. He walked toward the group of people step by step.

Jiang Ming flicked his finger, and a sword aura appeared. It tore a hole in the magic net and released the dozen people inside.

"Who's your leader?" Jiang Ming did not waste time and asked directly.

The group of people looked at each other before pushing one person out.

This person was covered in blood. However, his aura was not weak. He was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He walked in front of Jiang Ming in awe and cupped his hands. "Greetings, sir!"

Although the person in front of them looked like a young man, in this world, strength was revered. Facing this mysterious person with terrifying strength, this group of people naturally did not dare act rashly.

Jiang Ming looked at the man who was covered in blood. He threw a healing pill over and asked, "Why are the people of the Cangming Grotto-Heaven chasing after you?"

Those pursuers were cultivators from the Cangming Grotto-Heaven. Jiang Ming did not have a good impression of this sect. Therefore, he naturally killed as many of them as he could.

"Thank you, sir!" The person received the pill and was overjoyed. He immediately became more respectful and said, "According to the news I received, some grotto-heavens and blessed lands such as the Cangming Grotto-Heaven are wantonly capturing individual cultivators and martial artists in this area."

"Why is this happening?" Jiang Ming frowned and asked.

"I heard that the Cangming Grotto-heaven discovered an extraordinary ruin somewhere and joined forces with a few cultivators from the Spirit Silkworm Mountain and a few other grotto-heaven factions to form an alliance and organize a large number of people to explore the area. However, there were all kinds of demonic beasts and killing arrays lurking inside. Therefore, they captured many people as cannon fodder to scout the way and to act as bait to attract the demonic beasts. They then took the opportunity to enter the depths of the ruin.

"We were just a group of individual cultivators. We were excavating a cave abode when we met these cultivators from the Cangming Grotto-Heaven. At first, they warmly invited us to explore a valley together. After we refused, they began to hunt us down.

"Before you came, we had already lost more than half of our men and were captured by the cultivators of Cangming Grotto-Heaven."

The man's eyes darkened as he sighed.

Since they dared explore this place, they naturally knew how dangerous the Black Rock Ruins were. However, they underestimated the ruthlessness of these major forces. In the face of treasure, the lives of these individual cultivators were no different from cattle to those people.

"Have you seen the cultivators of the Qingyuan Sword Valley?" Jiang Ming asked again.

"Are you an elder of the Qingyuan Sword Valley?" That person was instantly shocked and hurriedly said, "Haven't you heard? One of the large sects that Cangming Grotto-Heaven attacked was the Qingyuan Sword Valley. I heard that an expedition team from the Qingyuan Sword Valley was completely wiped out by Cangming Grotto-Heaven. Only a few of them escaped."

His voice suddenly stopped as he looked at the mysterious expert in front of him in fear. It was as if he suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill from the other party's body.

"Where are the people from Cangming Grotto-Heaven? Where did you escape from?" Jiang Ming asked calmly.

However, the cultivator was inexplicably frightened and quickly told him everything he knew.
