Back in the day, when the Demon Cultivation Pavilion Master first established the Demon Cultivation Pavilion in Tianlei City, it was such a grand occasion. So many forces came to congratulate and so many people came to align themselves with him. However, this glory lasted only a hundred years before the Demon Cultivation Pavilion in Tianlei City was truly razed to the ground.
Upholding justice for the martial artists of Tianlei City was, of course, necessary. But for Qin Chen, the bigger purpose of destroying the Demon Cultivation Pavilion was to remove the influence and foothold of Piao Miao Palace that was established in Tianlei City. Since this Demon Cultivation Pavilion was arranged by Piao Miao Palace, he had to eradicate it from Tianlei City.
The enmity between him and Piao Miao Palace was irreconcilable; there was no possibility of easing tensions between them.
Moreover, Qin Chen had heard that the establishment of the Demon Cultivation Pavilion in Tianlei City was driven by another force behind the scenes. Qin Chen suspected that this Demon Cultivation Pavilion was not the only influence of Piao Miao Palace in Tianlei City; there might be a more powerful force hidden there. His purpose in destroying the Demon Cultivation Pavilion was also to lure out that force of Piao Miao Palace.
However, Qin Chen also believed that even though he destroyed the Demon Cultivation Pavilion, once the news reached Piao Miao Palace, Shangguan Xier would not make an appearance because if Piao Miao Palace got involved, things would get complicated. It would inevitably attract the attention of major forces across the continent, which was not a good thing for Piao Miao Palace right now.
After razing the Demon Cultivation Pavilion, Qin Chen did not leave. With a swing of the true essence shovel in his hand, the flat ground of the Demon Cultivation Pavilion was immediately split in two. The next moment, the true essence hand he extended had already forcibly pulled out a series of secret chambers from underground.
These secret chambers, even when pulled out by Qin Chen, were still protected by restrictions, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
Qin Chen waved his hand a few times, and the restrictions on these secret chambers were instantly slashed away. The chambers were blasted open, revealing their contents clearly in broad daylight.
Inside were young women bound like Zheng Ruohan and many outstandingly talented individuals.
"Isn't that our Tianfeng Trade Association's manager Meng Qing? She disappeared suddenly ten years ago. I thought she had left, but unexpectedly she was imprisoned in the secret chamber of the Demon Cultivation Pavilion."
"Ah, why is our Mu Su Lou female elder also imprisoned here?"
With the restrictions broken by Qin Chen, the people inside were completely exposed to view, and shocked voices continued to ring out. The prisoners, with their meridians and true essence locked, could only see with their eyes. Suddenly appearing in the light, they were stunned.
Qin Chen's soul power had long perceived these scenes, so he already knew the situation. The people imprisoned in the secret chambers were not all like Zheng Ruohan, who seemed to be slaves bought in. Some were clearly women of considerable identity and status, and some were even very handsome men. Qin Chen immediately guessed that these people were likely abducted from Tianlei City by the Demon Cultivation Pavilion. Now that they were released, it indeed turned out to be true.
These people were some of the scattered cultivators of Tianlei City, but there were also some individuals from major forces in Tianlei City, immediately causing countless forces to be furious.
Unexpectedly, the Demon Cultivation Pavilion had abducted so many people in Tianlei City over the years. Their crimes were unforgivable, and they deserved to die a thousand deaths.
Instantly, numerous experts flew out from the crowd, rescuing people from their forces and glaring angrily at the Demon Cultivation Pavilion Master, who was being held by Fu Qiankun, while also feeling grateful to Qin Chen.
