Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 152

Ding Shengxia felt like he was going crazy. That voice echoed in his mind. He felt fear seeping through every single one of his pores.

Nineteen?

What are the Nineteen Devils?

He lowered his head and looked at the page. The malevolent expression on his face gradually changed. A blurry figure appeared on the page. “”Come in.””

The figure stretched out his hand and reached out from the page to grab Ding Shengxia’s collar. Then, he pulled her into the page.

The young woman standing at the corner of the stairs slightly frowned. She looked sideways and found Ding Shengxia was staring at a book in her hands with her head lowered, not moving at all.

Although she felt that Ding Shengxia’s atmosphere was a bit chaotic, she only thought that Ding Shengxia still hadn’t calmed down, so she didn’t mind and looked away.

Ding Shengxia felt like he was being dragged far away by that hand, as if he had left this world.

The surroundings were filled with chaotic light, making his eyes especially unsightly.

Then he felt himself fall heavily to the ground, and when he looked up, he saw a mountain in front of him.

The trees were sparse, the grass scarce, and the greyish black rocks were the dominant hue of the place, thick as metal.

At the highest point of the mountain, there seemed to be a statue. It looked like a wolf with wings spread out.

In front of him was a cave. On both sides of the cave entrance, there were two stone pillars that were as thick as two people. On the stone pillars, there were carved wolf carvings with wings on their ribs.

These wolves seemed very big. Other than their normal eyes, they also had a vertical eye on their forehead.

The door of the cave was open, and there were two large black doors. On the left side of the door, there were two words carved on it: Nineteen. On the right side, there were two words: Paradise.

Nineteen heavenly passages?

Ding Shengxia felt like she was dreaming. Everything seemed so unreal.

But there was a strong curiosity driving him, and he could not help but walk forward, through the open doors.

On both sides of the wall were black stone walls. There were many murals on the stone walls, and they were quite colorful and colorful.

Ding Shengxia’s attention was focused on the cave, so she didn’t pay attention to the murals painted on the wall.

He only took a cursory glance and vaguely felt that the mural described a war.

If there was a war, there would be contradictions. Now, the sixteen kingdoms were fighting and killing every year, so Ding Shengxia wasn’t interested in war.

He carefully walked forward, and after walking for about a hundred meters, he saw a deep trench in front of him, so deep that one could not see the bottom.

There was a stone bridge on the ditch. It wasn’t very long, about ten meters in length.

However, when Ding Shengxia walked onto the stone bridge, she realized that the stone bridge was not built by piling up stone, but by carving a huge rock … What kind of supernatural technique was that?

After walking across the stone bridge, he saw a sea of flowers.

The ravine was only ten meters wide, but when he was at the stone bridge, he couldn’t see the other side. A dense fog covered the ravine.

Through the fog, across the stone bridge, suddenly open.

He thought it was still part of the cave, but when he arrived, he realized that it was a wilderness.

Flowers everywhere, identical flowers, no second species, all a kind of red, flowers like lanterns made of velvet.

Flowers have few leaves but long stems.

Each of them had only one flower, and their height and height were almost the same.

Hence looking from afar, he felt that it wasn’t a sea of flowers at all, but a sea of blood.

At this moment, Ding Shengxia had the thought of retreat. He began to regret walking in.

However, when he turned around, he discovered that the stone bridge was gone.

He quickly walked to the edge of the ditch and discovered that the lava below was boiling.

Ding Shengxia turned pale with fright and immediately leaped in the direction she came from.

The thick layer of fog that was floating above the ravine seemed to have turned into a copper and iron wall.

Ding Shengxia’s head heavily hit the wall and then fell back to the ground.

His face was pale, and he felt he was in hell.

“”Now that we’re here, you have no way back.””

His voice came from the depths of the sea of flowers. Ding Shengxia braced herself and walked towards the direction where the voice came from.

There was no path in the sea of flowers. He walked forward, and the flowers automatically moved away. After he passed by, the flowers returned to their original position.

Ding Shengxia felt like he had walked for a year, but when he looked back, he could still see the stone bridge appearing again.

However, the fog became more erratic, as if there was a ball of white shadow moving back and forth.

In a split-second, Ding Shengxia’s mind buzzed, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

It wasn’t a fog at all. It was the spirits of the dead.

One dead spirit after another gathered in the deep trenches, forming a fog.

Ding Shengxia’s teeth were chattering. It was as if her entire body had fallen into an ice cave. Her blood was freezing.

Fear. Ever since he was young, he had never been as afraid as he was today.

He was worried that if he took another step, he would become one of the ghosts trapped in the mist.

However, the sea of flowers soon came to an end, and a black castle appeared in front of them.

It seemed to be dozens of meters tall, and looked even more like an abandoned tower.

The gate of the castle was open, and three words were carved on the door... Nineteen.

Ding Shengxia’s legs were trembling as she walked to the door, then she stuck her head in to take a look.

Inside was a street that was not considered spacious. It was deserted.

Broken houses, fallen city bricks, withered trees, a black crow on the tree.

Crow’s eyes were blood-red, and she stared at him coldly.

A middle-aged man wearing a white scholarly robe was standing under the withered tree, facing Ding Shengxia.

He did not look malevolent at all. There was even a refined and handsome look to his face.

This person didn’t have the slightest trace of danger on him, which slightly lessened the fear in Ding Shengxia’s heart.

The middle-aged man held a book in his hand, as if he had already read more than half of it.

The crow flew down from the dead tree and landed on the middle-aged man’s shoulder. It was still coldly staring at Ding Shengxia.

“”Don’t be afraid, come and sit.””

The middle-aged man beckoned to Ding Shengxia, and then a table and chair appeared in front of him.

Not wood, not stone, but bone.

The stools were made of bones, and the tables were made of skulls.

There was a fine jade wine jug and wine cup on the table, the color of the bone was so harmonious.

The middle-aged man in white clothes and the crow on his shoulder formed a stark contrast.

Black castles, black dead trees, but white bones.

The middle-aged man sat down first, then pointed at the stool in front of him. “”Since you’re already here, what are you afraid of?””

Ding Shengxia trembled as she walked over. First, she humbly bowed, then she dared to sit on the white bone stool.

At that moment, he felt as if countless bony hands were grabbing him from under his buttocks.

“”This place is very secretive, the woman in the library outside won’t be able to detect it.””

“”Her strength is extraordinary, but she’s far from being able to detect my existence.””

The middle-aged man put down the book and looked at Ding Shengxia with a smile.

His smile was kind and kind, and there was even tenderness in his eyes.

“”Why … bring me here?””

Where is this?

“”Who are you?””

Ding Shengxia asked nervously.

The middle-aged man’s smile made his heart feel more at ease. It was a magic that he was unable to resist.

Especially that middle-aged man’s eyes, they actually had a light that made him sink into depravity.

“”Because you and I are fated.””

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “”You left a Blood Citation on that book, but Blood Citation has brought you here.””

This is the Nineteen Wonderlands of the Fallen Demon Realm. I am the master of this place, the Nineteen Devils.

You don’t seem to know anything about devils.

But there is one thing you do not know, and that is that the Devil lives with you all the time.

The commonplace people on the street may be members of the Devil. “”

He glanced at Ding Shengxia and continued, “”I said that fate had brought us together because I felt the hatred in your heart.””

“”All hatred and hatred are fated to meet me.””

He looked into Ding Shengxia’s eyes and asked, “”Tell me, what is the name of the person you hate?””

Ding Shengxia bit her lips and replied, “”It’s a peaceful fight!””

The middle-aged man smiled. “”A person who is stronger than you in every aspect, suppressing you in every aspect, and tearing your self-esteem apart at any time?””

Ding Shengxia hesitated for a moment before she nodded heavily in the end.

The middle-aged man said softly, “”I also hate people like him the most. Why should he be stronger than you?””

If it was because of natural talent, why was his natural talent inferior to his?

If it was because of his background, why was it inferior to his?

“”But the truth is, there’s no reason why it should be true. It’s only true if you lose.””

Ding Shengxia loudly shouted, “”I must tear him into pieces!””

The middle-aged man slowly shook his head, “”The devil never swears, because directly doing it means more than swearing.

If you are willing to take me as your master, I can make you become stronger, so you can casually step on the person you hate under your feet and make him unreachable.

“”Don’t doubt my ability. Do you see those ghosts on the ravine?””

Ding Shengxia nodded.

The middle-aged man said, “”Those are the people who once thought they could look down on me. If there’s one, I’ll kill one of them.””

A man does not need to leave his opponent any path of survival, if mercy is what Zen people would do.

I don’t remember how many people died in my hands.

It is because of the bones of my men that I have become someone who can despise others. “”

He raised his hand and pointed at Ding Shengxia. “”Don’t you want to become such a person?””

Ding Shengxia hesitated, “”I don’t want to kill innocent people. I just want to kill An Zou.””

The middle-aged man laughed, “”How can there be any innocence or innocence in this world? As long as it is in front of you, you will all deserve to die.””

Their original sin was to block the way.

Anyone who got in the way would die.

The man you speak of, the one called Anjou, is the one who stands in your way.

Didn’t you notice yourself that he has broken your heart?

You become unconfident, confused about the future, and you feel like a loser, don’t you? “”

Ding Shengxia nodded. “”Yes!””

The middle-aged man said, “”Kneel down and kneel before me. I will accept you as my disciple.””

“”From today onwards, you will be the sole disciple of the 19 Demons of the Fallen Demon Realm.””

Ding Shengxia was still hesitating, but the hatred in his heart gradually made him lose his sanity.

He stood up and knelt down with a thump, “”I beg master to let me become stronger!””

The middle-aged man laughed heartily. When he opened his mouth, his bright red tongue was like a snake that was about to make a move.

“”I can give you power. I can give you a power that you can’t even imagine.

However, even though you are already my disciple, I cannot give you power for no reason.

“”Between you and me, we need a contract.””

Ding Shengxia asked, “”What contract?””

The middle-aged man asked, “”Do you want to live forever?””

Ding Shengxia nodded, “”Yes!””

The middle-aged man stood up and walked to Ding Shengxia. He leaned over and said, “”Then give me your heart. I will protect it.””

As long as I don’t die, you won’t die.

In this world, the people who can kill me are few and far between. Thus, as long as I live, you will also live forever. “”

Ding Shengxia was so scared that she started to retreat in fear, “”How … how can I give you my heart? If I give it to you, I will die … Master … don’t joke with me.””

The middle-aged man’s smile was still so gentle. “”Why would I joke with my beloved disciple?””

He suddenly stretched out his hand and pierced Ding Shengxia’s chest with a poof. Then, he took out his heart that was still beating.

He casually broke a bone from the white bone stool and stuffed it into Ding Shengxia’s heart, then he put the heart into his sleeve and said, “”I gave you an indestructible body, then I gave you the cultivation method of my Nineteen Demons.””

“”The Fallen Demon Realm will definitely rise again.””

On that withered black tree, a small, bright red flower suddenly bloomed.

It was so strange when compared to the withered tree.

When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still in the bookstore.

He touched his chest in fear and found that there was no wound.

Then, he discovered a small scroll in his hand. With a pale face, he kept the scroll and quickly left.

When the young woman at the foot of the stairs saw Ding Shengxia leaving in a hurry, she lowered her head and started reading again.

After a moment she raised her head again, and between her eyebrows she asked, “”Why can’t you feel his heart beating?””
