A gift returned ten thousandfold: I am the number one licker in all realms!

The elders leisurely praised the Third Elder for his many contributions to the sect over the years.

They also thought that if their performance was not good enough, they hoped that the Third Elder could contribute some.

Within the sect, each elder has certain performance requirements each year.

We need to recruit at least a thousand people, but very few of them will be able to meet the targets.

If the performance targets are not met, there will naturally be some form of punishment, and there may even be other consequences.

They were punished by the elders.

But this squad leader was different; he was able to exceed the tasks assigned to them by their superiors every year.

One year, the Third Elder even managed to capture a single person, more than five thousand people.

Therefore, although the Third Elder was not particularly strong, and even somewhat weak, he held a very high position within their sect.

He even surpassed their two Zhangs at one point, because his annual contributions always pleased their sect leader.

"Haha, brothers, what are you saying? If I can help you then, I will certainly lend a hand."

"However, my business hasn't been doing too well these days."

Hearing the Third Elder say this, almost no one believed it. Everyone knew that this elder was a well-known performance king.

“The contributions made by this Third Elder each year are almost equal to the total contributions of all of them combined.”

So they figured there must be something they hadn't done well enough, and they were all thinking about when they could curry favor with this Third Elder.

"Hahaha, third brother, third brother, look at your humble appearance, do you think we would let you suffer a loss?"

"We brothers will definitely make sure you don't lose out. Just tell us, whatever you want, we'll get it for you."

"Whatever cultivation technique or elixir you want, we brothers will personally take care of it for you."

"But you can't just stand by and do nothing, brother. You know the sect leader isn't someone to be trifled with."

The mere mention of the sect leader sent chills down their spines; they all knew exactly what kind of being the sect leader was.

On one occasion, an elder failed to meet his performance targets. In a fit of anger, the sect leader actually killed the elder on the spot.

That was a respected elder.

He was just brutally killed like that, and the sect leader's methods shocked many people.

From then on, everyone in the sect worked diligently and without a single problem. However, even so, many elders still failed to meet their performance targets, because the requirements were simply too high.

Just then, the Second Elder suddenly came up and couldn't help but look behind the Third Elder.

When Luo Xing saw the Second Elder looking at him, his scalp tingled and his body went weak.

Alright. He could tell at a glance that this Second Elder was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Second Elder already possesses at least the strength of the fifth level of the Venerable Realm.

A master like that could easily kill Luo Xing on the spot if he's not careful.

If the old man can't be brought here immediately, Luo Xing might not even know how he died.

The Second Elder looked at Luo Xing as if he had seen a treasure.

These two elders have an exceptional ability to judge people. In just one glance, they were able to tell that Luo Xing's physique was definitely not extreme and might even be a rare one.

"Hehe, the little one is quite good-looking, does he resemble me a bit in my prime?"

"Hehe, this child is really quite good. Second Elder, where did you get such a fine kid?"

The second elder circled Luo Xing several times, looking at Luo Xing with increasing interest, and finally couldn't resist taking action.

Luo Xing couldn't help but sweat profusely all over his body.

Surely this old guy couldn't have figured something out of Luo Xing. If he had, he probably would have immediately activated the signal flare his grandfather had given him.

But just as the Second Elder was about to approach, the Third Elder suddenly blocked his way.

"Hehe, Second Brother, you mustn't touch this person. He's a disciple I personally took in."

"This is my third brother's treasure. If I come across any good ones later, I'll share them with you, second brother. But, I can't give you this one."

As he spoke, the Third Elder couldn't help but give him a look, as if he were sending him some kind of signal.

Of course, this signal was also fake. Now that Luo Xing had something on him, the Third Elder couldn't do anything funny.

The Second Elder only glanced at Elder Fan's eyes before immediately understanding what was going on. It seemed this guy was resorting to the same old tricks again.

They all knew about the Third Elder's methods. Their Third Elder often liked to take in disciples, and then, after raising them to maturity, he would refine them into his puppets.

Of course, such things are quite common within this sect.

"Hehe, why do you always manage to run into good things, Third Brother? We're really envious, hahahaha."

"This little kid is really good-looking; we're practically drooling over him."

"Little kid, you'd better work hard under the Third Elder from now on."

"Sooner or later, you'll find out what kind of person your Third Elder is. You'll definitely get your share of the benefits then, hahaha."

All the elders present laughed heartily, except for the Third Elder, who had sweat beading on his forehead.

He knew he had finally overcome this hurdle. He said this to avoid suspicion; otherwise, bringing such a treasure back would arouse suspicion in everyone. Only by saying this could he lower the elders' guard.

However, judging from the results, it is still very good.

At least now the Third Elder is certain that his buddies all believe him, otherwise they wouldn't be speaking like this.

Luo Xing wasn't stupid; he naturally understood what the Third Elder meant.

However, it's really hard to say who will refine whom in the end.

Now that the Third Elder has taken Luo Xing's pills, Luo Xing is certain that the old man would never dare to play any tricks.

"Haha, esteemed elders, I, the third brother, have some matters to attend to today, so I will take my leave now."

"Haha, good, good, good. After you've left, Third Brother, we'll personally pay you a visit."

……

Not long after, the Third Elder led Luo Xing back to his cave.

The three old men collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, exclaiming that Luo Xing really was an old man!

"Do you know how dangerous that was? If anything had happened, we'd both be in deep trouble."

"Leaving aside others, just take that Second Elder from earlier. His cultivation technique is strong enough to take on two of me at once."

"I've always avoided him all these years, how could I dare to go against him? But you, kid, you've got this old guy taking a liking to you right away."

"What if this old man really kidnaps you?"

"What am I supposed to do? Oh dear, how did I fall for your trick?"

"But now we have no choice but to bite the bullet and do it. I know you won't give me the antidote easily."

Inside the Third Elder's cave, Luo Xing was indeed like an old man, leaning against the bed.

Luo Xing ate fruit while crossing his legs, looking completely arrogant.

"Hehe, Third Elder, don't worry. As long as you do your best for me, do you think I would let you down?"

"Don't worry, this pill won't kill you in a short time. As long as you behave yourself, I guarantee you'll live."

"How about this, tomorrow you take me on a tour of the dungeon. If we can find my parents, that would be the best. If not, we'll look elsewhere."

The Third Elder sighed; he knew, of course, that he had no right to refuse.

He only hoped that he could find his parents tomorrow; otherwise, he would be truly doomed.

The next day came quickly, and then they went to the dungeon.

As soon as Luo Xing arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, he smelled a strong stench of corpses.

The smell inside the dungeon made Luo Xing feel nauseous. Even before reaching the dungeon entrance, he could see one corpse after another.

"Damn it, your sect really doesn't do anything good. Look at your father, I can hardly believe how many people you've killed!"

Luo Xing has traveled all over the country over the years and believes he has seen his fair share of big events.

Luo Xing knew a little about things like mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but compared to what was before him, they were nothing.

At this moment, Luo Xing secretly vowed in his heart that one day he would uproot this sect completely, otherwise, who knows how many people would have been killed within this sect.

"Alright, kid, stop muttering nonsense. We're almost at the door. Once we're inside, just follow behind me and don't say anything out of the ordinary."

"The one guarding this dungeon is the fourth elder of the sect."

"His strength is something even I have to be wary of, otherwise, we'd both be in deep trouble."

"You brat, did you hear me? Follow me from now on, and absolutely no talking nonsense or wandering around."

Luo Xing nodded heavily.

Then he followed the Third Elder inside. Once inside the dungeon, he could hear countless wails of agony.

As time passed, Luo Xing could no longer distinguish whether this was hell or a dungeon; it was more like hell than a dungeon.

Even Luo Xing, at this moment, couldn't help but be moved by the horrific scene inside.

Screams and wails filled the air, and horrifying scenes were everywhere, including the constant sight of severed limbs and remains.

"Help! Let us out! Help! Please, let us go!"

"Please, please let us go, please."

"Help! Someone help us! Let us go!"

"We're so miserable, we're really in such a terrible situation, someone please save us!"

……

The dungeon is filled with all sorts of prisoners, including many vicious and wicked individuals, but it also contains many kind-hearted people.

"Hurry up, search quietly and discreetly, without making any noise here."
