I'm not a drama god

Lee Ryder felt a slight jolt in his heart.

Only at this moment did he truly understand why Chen Ling had taken him as her disciple nine years ago...

Li Laid's feelings were complicated. He was somewhat disappointed, but not so disappointed as to be sad. After all, he knew that no one in this world would be kind to him for no reason. His master was so shrewd that he would not have done so if he had no value.

But now that he knew the reason for everything, he still felt a little sad... Li Laid didn't know why he felt this way; this was an emotion he had never felt before. He didn't realize that he had unknowingly begun to rely on his master as an emotional anchor.

Looking into those scarlet eyes, Lee Ryder gave his answer almost without hesitation:

"I think."

Chen Ling nodded slightly.

He took out a disc from his pocket, and the next second, the disc rapidly opened in the void, the folded space enveloping both of them... When Li Laid could see his surroundings again, he was already in a dark prison.

The torches embedded in the stone wall burned fiercely, their flickering light illuminating the surroundings. Li Laid was standing on a stone corridor, flanked by eerie and sinister cells that stretched to the very end of the corridor...

Inside the prison cells, figures draped in red robes were being imprisoned; judging from the number of cells, there were at least three or four hundred people.

"Let me out...let me out!!"

"I don't want to stay here!!"

"Archbishop, save me!"

"The Supreme Savior of the Crimson Heaven will definitely lead us out!"

"..."

Some of these red-robed figures were hammering the prison like wild beasts, while others had given up completely, cowering in a corner as if terrified, the noise making people's eardrums hurt.

As Chen Ling took a step forward, her scarlet pupils contracted, and an aura of world destruction swept across the land like a hurricane.

Those Jiangtian cultists who had been shouting desperately just moments before suddenly seemed to have encountered some extremely terrifying being. Their faces turned pale as they shrank back, hiding their figures in the shadows where the torchlight could not reach, as if only in this way could they gain a sense of security.

The entire prison fell silent instantly!

"These are... the Crimson Heaven Sect??"

Li Lede stared blankly at the Crimson Heaven Cult members in the prison, speechless with shock.

Li Laid was naturally aware of the existence of the Crimson Heaven Cult. They were wanted by the human realm even before the Fire Usurpers… roughly three hundred years ago, the Crimson Heaven Cult had been a public enemy of humanity. However, because they resided in the Gray Realm and their hideouts were extremely well-hidden, it was virtually impossible to eradicate them completely. Therefore, the human realm remained helpless against them to this day…

Can……

Judging from the number of Jiangtian followers here, were they all wiped out by Chen Ling?

Chen Ling's eyes swept calmly over the area, and she spoke softly:

"They're nothing but pigs and dogs."

Li Lai was speechless for a moment.

“Come on… let’s try it first and see if we can steal the Crimson Star’s power from them.” Chen Ling pointed to the nearest cell and said, “Let’s start from here.”

Li Lai looked in the direction Chen Ling was pointing and saw a figure in a red robe cowering in a corner, looking at them as if they were two demons.

Lee hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"But... the aura emanating from them is too ethereal... I might not be able to grasp it, and if I accidentally miss, I'm afraid..."

"So what if it went astray?" Chen Ling waved her hand. "Compared to my methods of devouring them, you've already been quite elegant."

Li Laid: ...

Since Chen Ling had said so, Li Leide had no reason to hesitate. He slowly raised his hand, facing the trembling Jiangtian cultists in the cell, closed his eyes, as if sensing something...

The next second, he grabbed out of the air with his hand!

Swah——

A blood-soaked heart appeared out of thin air in his palm.

At the same time, the Crimson Heaven Cult member in the cell stiffly lowered his head, looking at his blood-soaked chest, and painfully opened his mouth...

Then he collapsed to the ground.

The entire prison fell silent once more.

“…I missed.” Li Laid frowned. “That aura was like a wisp of smoke; I couldn’t grasp it…”

"It's alright," Chen Ling said calmly. "Let's continue, and slowly find our rhythm."

For Chen Ling, he already possessed a large amount of Crimson Star Power, rendering these Crimson Heaven Cult members useless to him... He captured so many Crimson Heaven Cult members alive to provide Li Leide with practice opportunities.

The ultimate Li Laide, derived from the imaginary world, only mastered the method of stealing the power of the Crimson Star after becoming a demigod, but there isn't that much time now... Chen Ling must let Li Laide master this ability in advance, only in this way can he initially meet Chen Ling's expectations.

Li Laid took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and walked to the next member of the Crimson Heaven Cult...

"The Supreme Savior of the Crimson Heaven is about to return!!"

"You, all of you...you all must die! You all must die!!!"

The Jiangtian cultist seemed to have given up hope. He roared madly at Chen Ling and the other person, then burst into maniacal laughter, as if he could already see the Red Star returning to destroy humanity. His eyes were filled with nothing but the hatred and malice of a beast.

Swah——

His laughter abruptly stopped as his heart was stolen.

Blood smeared in the dimly lit cell, but Lee Ryder didn't even glance at him. He just frowned, staring at his palm, lost in thought...

"Continue," Chen Ling's voice sounded from behind.

Li Lai De walked over to the next member of the Crimson Heaven Cult.

"Please, please, please let me go!!"

"..."

"You're all going to die! The archbishop won't let you get away with this!!"

"..."

"A ferocious, world-destroying calamity, using us as subjects for experiments... You will surely die a horrible death!!!"

"..."

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

Amidst pleas for mercy and curses, one by one, the Jiangtian Cult members fell into pools of blood. They were like lab rats, helpless and waiting to die.

After Li Laid killed the thirty-sixth Crimson Heaven Cult member, his face was ashen.

Despite his numerous attempts, he still couldn't grasp the unique aura of the Crimson Star's Wish Power... Already proud, he felt a nameless irritation and anger rising within him, his deep blue eyes growing even colder.

He began to speed up, stealing the heart of a Jiangtian cultist almost every three seconds. The curses and pleas for mercy were meaningless to him; he even automatically blocked out these sounds... as if what was in front of him was no longer a human being, but a barking pig or dog.

Sixty...Seventy...Ninety...One hundred and twenty...

Crimson red gradually became the base color of this prison. Those Jiangtian cultists who had not yet been called watched their companions fall like stalks in the wind, and an indescribable fear crept into their eyes.

In the reflection of their eyes, the two figures in the opera robe and overcoat looked like demons who had walked out of hell!
