I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 218: The Treasure Conference

December eighth, clear, with bright sunshine.

At the southernmost edge of the world, on the only island in the Extreme Hell Black Water, the Extreme Hell Island, is now hosting a grand event that occurs once in twelve years.

The Treasure Conference which was held by the Mermaid Kingdom.

During the previous Treasure Conferences, this place was always bustling with prominent figures from various places who were invited to attend, and display their treasures to each other.

If there is a top-level treasure, the Mermaid Kingdom is often willing to pay a high price to buy it.

Later on, with the expansion of scale and fame, not only the South Sea cultivators but also many cultivators from all corners of the world would come from far and wide to attend this grand event.

By now, the Treasure Conference had already become a stage for making oneself renowned.

Countless ambitious cultivators would come to participate, not only to broaden their horizons, but also to make a name for themselves and spread their reputation far and wide.

On the eighth day of December, those who were eligible to come to the Extreme Hell Island and participate in this event were definitely not small roles, and must have some fame.

Even many young cultivators with low cultivation levels would surely have their senior masters by their side.

On this day, the South Sea Deep Trench island was bustling with cultivators of various identities and skill levels, including young talents, charming beauties, wise sages, and renowned masters, making it the top cultivator gathering in the South Sea.

However, the atmosphere of this year's Treasure Conference was different from previous years.

Since a sudden and vicious murder case occurred a few days before the Treasure Conference, the normally bustling Mermaid Kingdom had a strange atmosphere.

Subsequently, the arrival of the killer's relatives and the deceased's relatives made the already complicated situation even more oppressive and gloomy.

Nowadays, with the fermentation of public opinion, the focus of the cultivators has already shifted.

The young talents who had previously made some reputation are now lying low.

Recently, the beautiful and famous woman, who outshone her peers, followed her mentor closely and was reluctant to show up frequently.

All gazes and looks were directed towards the public trial held today, and the follow-up of this matter…

Each of the three parties involved in the incident is formidable when taken individually.

However, now that all three parties have gathered together and are facing off against each other, the excitement and liveliness far surpass what can be found at the Treasure Conference.

Therefore, even though this year's Treasure Conference is no less splendid than previous years, the atmosphere is not as lively as it used to be.

The cultivators on the island exchange pleasantries, participate in various games hosted by the Mermaids, and appreciate treasures from all corners of the world, but everyone seems absent-minded.

All are waiting for the end of the trial on the sharp peak of the island's rear, eager to see how the situation will develop.

And on the southern side of Extreme Hell Island, which everyone was silently paying attention to, a bald and huge rocky mountain stood by the sea.

This rocky mountain was made entirely of gigantic stones, without a speck of soil visible on it. The mountain looked less like a mountain and more like a terrifying pillar that rose straight up and down, equal in width from top to bottom.

The pillar reached a height closer to a thousand zhang, and the view was vast, with a roaring gale. In the past, it was the venue for the Treasure Conference's final secret treasure showcase.

But now, this place has become the execution ground for criminals.

At the top of the towering pillar, there is a very broad platform. Mermaids have built a magnificent palace here, with a sweeping view.

While in the palace, one can overlook the junction of the South Sea water and the Extreme Hell Black Water.

It allows one to better empathize with the cold and evil atmosphere of the Extreme Hell Black Water that is right in front of them.

In the center of the magnificent palace lies an open-air square. The South Sea's notorious Moluo Sword Master, Miss Huo Feng, who has recently caused a stir, is currently being held captive here.

However, outsiders are unable to see his true appearance.

This is because a translucent glowing sphere is suspended nine meters above the ground. Miss Huo Feng is inside the sphere.

Miss Huo Feng's figure cannot be seen. Instead, what appears in the sphere before everyone is a prison made up of three Heavenly Thunder constructs.

Within the Heavenly Thunder Prison, lightning flashes incessantly and a woman's painfully mournful screams can be heard. As if she were enduring the cruelest punishment known to mankind, the piercing screams make one's scalp tingle.

All those who entered the palace and witnessed this scene were struck dumb.

The Hanhai Department priest, the two brothers from the Wu family, the Immortal Kingdom's leader Luo Yujun, the two Praetorian Guards accompanying Luo Yujun, and even King Zhenbei Su Lie, and the rest of the entourage traveling with King Zhenbei, all looked stunned for a moment upon seeing the lightning within the ball of light and hearing the woman's desperate cries.

Because the content the woman was screaming in agony…

"Lu Heng, you old devil! I vow to oppose you!"

"Lu Heng, you old scoundrel! Let me out and face me in combat!"

"Ah! The demon with the surname Lu! You have completely lost your conscience!"

The desperate and mournful cry of Moluo Sword Master leads to a disturbing fact: Is the Thunder Prison, which tortures the prisoner, established by the Wolf God, who is rumored to be gentle and modest like jade?

Can a righteous cultivator employ such brutal methods?

While listening to the pitiful screams of the women inside the prison and sensing their despair, King Zhenbei cannot help but feel a chill in his heart, even though he came with resentment.

Even though he only wants to kill the two demon women who killed his child and give them a taste of their own medicine, he never thought of torturing them.

Despite being the friend of the Demon Woman, the Wolf God came from far away to seek justice for his deceased friend, but still employs such ruthless methods… Even though the one being tortured right now is the Moluo Evil Spirit instead of his friend, it is still the body of that Demon Woman that is being tortured!

Behind King Zhenbei, the accompanying group of people looked at each other and listened to the screams coming from the nearby light ball. The people who came in angrily and wanted to seek justice were now stunned by the sudden change in atmosphere.

The screams of the Demon Woman are so terrifying!

For cultivators, it is easy to sense the emotions and thoughts of others.

The Demon Woman is now tormented, with no energy to conceal her inner feelings. Therefore, the desperate pain the woman inside the light sphere feels when tortured is felt by cultivators without any cover-up.

The sense of empathy is very strong.

Adding to that is the fear-inspiring power of thunder that comes through the light sphere and makes cultivators afraid and in awe. They also think about facing the mysterious Wolf God who has set up such a prison, and how the Wolf God could show no mercy even to old friends, let alone his opponents…

With all these factors combined, the screams of the Demon Woman gave everyone a chilling feeling of empathy, like a funeral bell constantly reminding them.

The next person you are about to provoke is none other than the immensely fearsome deity known as the Wolf God!
