The trio hesitated no longer and advanced along the shadows of the city wall.
Every few hundred feet, they could see the heads of Cultivators embedded in the wall, some still baring their teeth as they wailed and cursed.
These were all disciples of the Primordial Sect who had tried to defect. After undergoing Soul Extraction and Refinement, they were turned into "World-Alerting Steles."
As the Primordial Demon Sect, it was perfectly normal to have disciples who tried to defect, but getting caught meant being flayed alive.
As Xu Yunfan passed by one of the heads, it suddenly opened its eyes and shrieked, "Master Hua..."
Before it could finish, a Silver Needle flicked from Hua Ling's finger pierced its Celestial Spirit.
"So noisy."
The young woman muttered as she pulled out the Silver Needle. A glowing Soul Bead was perched on its tip.
She casually tossed it to Li Ergou. "A reward for you."
