Dethrone me, I don't want the throne anymore, why are you so angry?

"But Master, if it was me in there, what do you think? At least they should know what happened in there, right?"

Gu Fan looked at his young disciple, sighed and said, "But if we don't do this, we will die. Do you want to use your life to exchange for it?"

The boy's face was pale and he didn't know what to say. Finally, he lowered his head and walked away staggering.

Gu Fan turned around and looked at the exit with a complicated expression.

How many times has he come to this exit when the Canglan ruins opened?

Over the years, countless people have died there, but who among those wandering cultivators truly cares? Who cares whether they leave alive or not?

Just like the two people from Tiansheng Academy just now, they still had some background and did not die.

Of course, these people are also needed to come out and testify that nothing happened inside and everything was just an accident encountered in the Canglan ruins.

The truly dirty corners will not appear in the public view.

This is how the world of cultivation is. The top forces control everything, manipulate everything, and then act as if all beings are equal. Even the Canglan ruins are open to the public for free.

Then they harvested batches of independent cultivators who had the potential to grow but did not want to be bound by any force.

Give them a legitimate death.

The best way to retain the right to speak is to nip in the bud those who may shake the right to speak in the future.

It doesn’t matter what excuse you use, as long as you don’t get discovered.

After all, not all independent cultivators are determined to climb to the top. Most of them just want to climb up for a more comfortable life. These people are useful.

They need a constant supply of such people to work for them, to enslave others for them, and then clear themselves of the charges.

On the other side, Ye Yu, who was dragged into the space crack, found himself in a strange place.

In front of him was a huge mountain. The originally dense aura of doom was now all wrapped around the mountain, making it gray and hazy, and he could not see what was inside. Those who were absorbed in with him turned into wild beasts in groups of three or two.

Then, as if receiving some kind of summons, it flew towards the high mountain in front of it, disappeared into the air, and there was no movement anymore.

Ye Yu frowned, soared into the air, with a green light flashing in his eyes. He looked towards the mountain. After seeing what was inside, even Ye Yu couldn't help but gasp.

Beneath the aura of despair, there were densely packed wild beasts. A quick glance revealed that there were no less than ten thousand of them.

And on top of the highest peak, there is a palace.

That faint sense of calling originated from within the palace.

"Ah!!!" A shrill scream was heard. Ye Yu turned around and saw that it was Xie Liuying.

At this moment, half of Xie Liuying's body has turned into the appearance of a wild beast, and is still constantly changing.

Then Xie Liuying saw Ye Yu. Seeing Ye Yu's unharmed appearance, she quickly shouted, "Ye Yu, save me, save me! This is all because of you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my position as the president, and Wan Zirou wouldn't be qualified to take on this mission. Save me, it's all your fault!"

Xie Liuying's speech was already somewhat incoherent. As her transformation into a beast became more and more obvious, her consciousness gradually became blurred, but she continued to mutter.

Ye Yu was not surprised by this. Wherever the purple cloud passed by, after absorbing the absolute energy, it would gradually turn into a beast with only instincts.

Xie Liuying's incoherent speech at this moment was not due to brainlessness, but was out of instinct.

Because she has not yet completely transformed into a beast and still has a little ability to think, her instinct drives her to blame all the faults on others.

But soon, Xie Liuying turned into a real beast. After looking straight at Ye Yu, it flapped its wings and disappeared into the mountain full of desolate energy.

Seeing this, Ye Yu pondered for a while, took out a puppet, controlled it to walk into the mountains, and observed what would happen.

It’s just strange that the beasts that were fighting outside according to their instincts are now extremely quiet.

"No need to try, just come up." At this moment, a faint voice sounded.

A terrifying feeling of oppression came over Ye Yu, making him feel suffocated. Facing such an existence, there was no need to have any sense of resistance.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Yu understood the identity of this person, and then he stepped into the air without hesitation, immersed in the air, and went straight to the outside of the palace on the top of the mountain.

The heavy door slowly opened at this moment. Ye Yu looked up and saw that the entire hall was empty except for a chair in the center. On the chair sat a man dressed in white, who gave off an aura of "keep away from strangers".

He looked very similar to Ziyun, but compared to Ziyun, the man's temperament seemed to come from the depths of his soul.

After just one glance, Ye Yu felt the urge to turn around and leave. It was not fear, but an instinct that did not want to have anything to do with the person in front of him.

The man looked up at Ye Yu and said, "A person who defies fate? No, that's not right. You are not a person who defies fate. You just look like one."

Hearing this, Ye Yu frowned and said with a smile: "You are wrong, I am the one who defies fate."

The moment the words fell, the man was stunned, and even the expression of the cauldron spirit in the cauldron was frozen.

The man looked at Ye Yu deeply, said nothing, turned around and looked at the mirror in front of him.

Ye Yu suppressed the urge to leave and walked slowly forward and looked over.

The scene in the mirror was exactly the same as that inside the Canglan ruins. Those people were slaughtering Cang beasts everywhere. If they couldn't find any Cang beasts, they would capture a few relatively weak cultivators, force them to turn into Cang beasts, and finally offer their heads.

The man looked at everything happening in the mirror with an expressionless face, as if he was looking for something.

But Ye Yu's gaze fell on the man's waist, where there was a brass piece hanging. Ye Yu could tell at a glance that it was a fragment of the Haotian Mirror.

"You want this?" the man's voice suddenly sounded.

Ye Yu nodded subconsciously.

The man turned around, faced Ye Yu, and asked, "Do you think I look like a human or an immortal?"

Ye Yu's expression froze, and he looked at the man in confusion. He had no idea why the man in front of him suddenly asked this question, but soon, Ye Yu noticed something was wrong.

The man in front of me looked familiar.

Suddenly, Ye Yu suddenly remembered something, his eyes widened in disbelief, "You are... Luo Ying's master?! The Lord of Cang Tian Palace?!"

"Luo Ying? What Luo Ying? What Cang Tian Palace?" The man's expression was dazed. He shook his head and stepped back repeatedly. "No, I'm not. I'm nothing. I don't know who Luo Ying is. I don't know her."
