After being expelled from the sect, I became the villain mentor

In front of them was an extremely huge circular cliff.

The cliff is extremely steep, but under the cliff, there is a huge sinkhole. Below the sinkhole is a flat area, and mist floats on the ground below.

Looking closely, those wisps were not mist, but spiritual energy that was so dense that it had reached a saturated state and was beginning to liquefy.

What a beautiful place!

The most shocking thing is that in the middle of the tiankeng, through the thick fog, you can vaguely see a magnificent golden palace.

The palace is tall and majestic, about a hundred meters high. The three golden characters "Palace of a Hundred Demons" are written on the plaque outside. The top of the palace is pointed like a tower, and there is a round ball made of stone on the top of the tower.

There is also a courtyard garden outside the palace, with countless exotic flowers and trees, like a paradise.

At this time, many monks had already flown to the bottom of the tiankeng and walked around the palace.

Roar!

After a loud roar of the beast, the fog in the air dispersed, and everyone could see the surrounding situation clearly, and they couldn't help but feel terrified.

On the edge of the tiankeng cliff, there were densely packed monsters of various colors, staring at the tiankeng at the bottom of the cliff with red eyes. Following the roar of the leading black-winged tiger, those monsters lowered their heads unwillingly, as if in submission, and followed with low calls and roars.

On the other side, a group of lions with bright fur, led by the lion king, roared provocatively at the black-winged tiger and refused to give in.

The sky was also crowded with all kinds of birds and monsters.

The violent roar of the beast made people dizzy and their vision blurred, and they almost fell off the cliff.

Not only did Yu Nian and others witness the shocking scene of thousands of beasts gathering and hundreds of birds singing, but there were also many exits on the mountain walls around the exit of the cave where they were, and many familiar faces came out.

Of course, these monsters saw the gathered monks, but they just took a glance and then shifted their attention to the huge palace below.

Their ears were buzzing as they got used to the sounds of screaming and howling. When they came to their senses, they had splitting headaches.

At this moment, someone looked at the palace below with eyes wide open, "What, what is that?!"

On top of the tower, the outer shell of the fist-sized stone ball gradually crumbled apart, and from the exposed gaps, bits of dazzling golden light burst out, emitting a captivating and powerful aura.

The aura emitted by the bead seemed to make the monster extremely violent.

The roars of monsters exploded in everyone's ears like thunder. The monks present had a buzzing sound in their heads and stood up in cold sweat, as if they were about to fall at any time.

In an instant, except for those monsters that were frightened by the roar of the big monster and could not get up and fell down, all the monsters that could still move at the edge of the sinkhole took action. Those that could fly swooped down, and those that could not fly also seemed to be risking their lives. They stretched their huge bodies and fell down like meteors wrapped in magic, all wanting to grab the orb as soon as possible.

Soon, the ground of the tiankeng was piled with the remains of monsters. A few monsters that were not yet dead and were still struggling with broken arms and legs were trampled into meat paste by the following waves of monsters as soon as they fell to the ground.

The aura of the gem became stronger and stronger, and more and more monsters entered the meat grinder. The original tiankeng turned into a natural tomb. The smell of blood mixed with the screams and roars of monsters was particularly horrifying.

Those monks who had gone down to the tiankeng to look for treasures before fled outside, wanting to leave this dangerous place, but were killed on the spot by the monster's huge claws.

"This, this is..."

Ling Cang, who was in the cliff cave, was completely stunned when he saw the bead, with a look of shock and numbness on his face.

Ye Tang said angrily, "Big Brother, what is this? Tell me!"

The most annoying thing is people who know the answer but only say half of the words, whetting other people's appetite but not continuing.

Ling Cang glanced at her and explained, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the legendary demon pill relic."

"what?"

"In ancient times, many powerful Buddhists sought out powerful demon cultivators as mounts. These demon cultivators then entered Buddhism and practiced Buddhist techniques. This demon pill relic is the culmination of the lifelong cultivation of these powerful demon cultivators."

Refining the demon pill relic can bring great benefits, which is why these monsters are so violent. Human cultivators may not feel anything, but it is different for demon cultivators. Just the aura of the demon cultivator's cultivation emitted by the demon pill relic is of great attraction to them.

On the other side, Yu Nian unexpectedly saw dozens of Ling family disciples and some independent cultivators fleeing in panic at the bottom of the sinkhole.

"You guys stay here first, I'll be back soon!"

Yu Nian went down to the tiankeng, dodging the giant beasts and birds of prey fighting around him while protecting the Ling family disciples below to escape. Finally, Yu Nian found a relatively safe and remote forest on the edge of the tiankeng with slightly higher terrain, and settled these people there.

"Zhang Yuan, where is your young master?"

Among the group of people who were rescued, Yu Nian saw Zhang Yuan and couldn't help but ask about Lin Jingyao's whereabouts.

"Senior Yu Nian, don't worry. The young master and I dodged the earthquake three days ago and didn't fall into the crack in the ground." After expressing her gratitude to Yu Nian, Ruoyun continued, "The young master asked me to come out to find you. The young master is being taken care of by others. They are not here now, but in a very safe place."

Yu Nian nodded, and suddenly found a huge thunderbird being knocked away by a Yuanying realm demon, crashing into the cliff beside the sinkhole where she had come before.

Her heart trembled, and she immediately flew towards the previous cave exit. Before she reached the cave exit, she saw the mountain wall broken by the pterosaur, the broken rocks, and the pterosaur fell into the bottom of the sinkhole.

"Ling Cang, Yetang!"

In such a dangerous place, she shouldn't have left her disciples in the cave. She shouldn't have left. It was because she was an incompetent master who failed to protect her disciples.

Panic, self-blame, regret, all kinds of feelings flooded my heart at once.

Yu Nian rushed forward, frantically moved the huge rocks away and threw them away, not giving up any hope, and looking for people everywhere.

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, a huge rock moved and was pushed aside. Ling Cang, covered in dust, slowly crawled out from inside, still pulling Ye Tang, "Master, we are here."

Ye Tang dusted himself off and continued, "We're fine."

Looking at his disciples who were intact and without any missing limbs, Yu Nian observed their expressions again to confirm that they were telling the truth. Then he pounced on them and hugged them one by one. The danger and fear were instantly gone, and the huge sense of security that came from touching the warm flesh slowly returned.

Yu Nian's arms were trembling slightly, "Master, I will never leave again."

Feeling the body in his arms, Ling Cang was stunned for a moment, then placed his right hand on Yu Nian's back and said in a low voice, "You said that."

Never go back on your word.

"Well, Master will protect you from now on."

The three of them calmed down for a moment before slowly separating.

Ling Cang felt extremely happy. Perhaps in the future, if he could be buried a few more times like today, he would be even happier.

Anyway, he has the secret treasure from his previous life to protect him, so ordinary people can't hurt him. He won't be hurt at all by a landslide or being crushed by rocks.
