Human Flesh Soup...

Upon hearing these words, everyone was shocked.

Both Sancheng and Sunset Three Laughs looked at the water in the lake and vaguely understood something.

Lin Hao had kept saying he wanted to share the soup with them, and they'd been puzzled about what kind of soup could be so delicious that someone like Lin Hao valued it so highly.

They had also been wondering why Lin Hao set up an array here, luring countless cultivators into the cauldron, and what exactly he intended to do.

Now they understood.

Using the Divine Medicine as bait, and cultivators from all tribes as the ingredients, the water in the cauldron was the soup.

Lin Hao planned to use these cultivators who entered the Divine Cauldron to make a cauldron of soup for them to drink, and moreover, they could only have one sip!

Thinking about it, although the cultivators entering the Divine Cauldron were of various races, all from the Lower Realm Plane, if not for their intelligence, they wouldn't be much different from animals and wild beasts.

However, among these hundreds of thousands entering the Divine Cauldron, some were from their own tribe.

For instance, Sancheng had already seen several thousand of their own tribespeople leap into the Divine Cauldron, and Sunset Three Laughs also saw many from his tribe jump in.

The Nine Profound Heavenly Elder, however, remained quite calm.

Feathered humanoids were inherently rare; in the Northern Realm, she was the only one, so she wasn't worried about eating her own kind.

Everyone had mixed feelings, yet the Flame Winged Dragon drooled with excitement, shouting, "I want to eat!"

Lin Hao shook his head: "Eat what? You need to go save people first. Go to other places of doom, summon your pack, and bring back tens of thousands of Earthlings to me safely."

"But..." The Flame Winged Dragon was reluctant, drooling as it watched the cultivators of various races continuously jump into the lake.

It didn't understand much, but its instincts told it that the pot of Human Flesh Soup Lin Hao was brewing was no ordinary thing, it was something desirable.

Lin Hao had no choice but to fiercely glare at the Flame Winged Dragon: "I'll save a little for you."

The Flame Winged Dragon then closed its mouth.

"You all go out and put on a show for me." Meng Yi looked towards the area outside the lake where there were many cultivators, some of whom had yet to enter, seemingly hesitant.

Indeed, they were hesitant.

This lake, which suddenly appeared and was draped in thick fog, was neither big nor small.

Yet up until now, tens of thousands of people had entered, including many strong cultivators, but every single one who entered the lake had not returned, not even bringing back a bit of useful news.

This deepened their doubts.

And fewer cultivators were entering the lake.

Everyone felt that this lake was no ordinary place; those who entered did not return, and to enter was to seek their own demise.

Some had even begun to retreat, no longer wishing to compete for the Divine Medicine.

Suddenly, in the midst of the fog, there came a sound of water, attracting the attention of the cultivators by the shore.

Everyone was surprised and turned to look at the source of the sound, inexplicably excited.

How long had it been?

Since the beginning, until now, there had been no sound from the lake, not even from those who said they would come back immediately if they encountered danger.

Now there was noise from the lake, which proved something!

People widened their eyes when suddenly, amidst the dense fog, several figures appeared.

"Somebody's coming out!"

"Somebody has come out alive!"

People cheered loudly, filled with boundless excitement and agitation.

Amidst the splashing, a large figure from the Demon Clan, accompanied by a few oddly-shaped lesser demons, emerged from the waters, looking bedraggled.

The leading Great Demon, standing at a towering five meters tall, leapt out of the lake with a splash, landing on the shore, seemingly injured.

"What's the situation inside!"

"Is there Divine Medicine?!"

"Did you see the Divine Medicine? Where are the others?!"

No sooner had the demons landed and steadied themselves than they were surrounded by countless Cultivators, who bombarded them with questions, deeply concerned about the situation in the lake.

"It's a disaster, such a disaster, damn it, there are monsters in the lake, lots of them, and they are very powerful. They're guarding the Divine Medicine and we simply couldn't approach it. Moreover, there seems to be an Array in the lake, once you enter, you're bound to get lost."

The large demon was gasping for air, seemingly shaken but also extremely excited.

It briefly described the situation in the lake, then became impatient to leave, "Make way for me! I must report to the Demon King and bring the army to snatch the Divine Medicine! Once we kill all the Man-eating Mermaids and reach Lake Heart Island, the Divine Medicine will belong to our Demon Clan, hahaha!"

The Great Demon laughed wildly while pushing people aside, intending to find reinforcements.

But how could the surrounding Cultivators let them go?

The crowd blocked their path, bombarding them with questions: "Why are only you guys out?!"

"Where are our people?!"

...

Questions varied and were ceaseless.

Then the Great Demon grew angry: "All of you, freaking make way! If you delay my return to report to the Demon King and call for the army, can you bear the responsibility? This lake is none other than the Tianxuan Cave's lake; it's easy to enter but hard to exit because of the great Array. Would I still deceive you? Didn't you see that we've come out?"

The Great Demon roared with rage, struggling to push through the crowd.

"What about those who entered before us? What are they doing?" someone shouted, refusing to relent.

"Dead!" the Great Demon shouted angrily: "Either dead or close to it! In any case, their strength is totally insufficient to contend with the Man-eating Beasts in the lake."

After finishing, the Great Demon roared, flapped its wings, took a few lesser demons with it, soared into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After the Great Demon had gone to find reinforcements, the remaining Cultivators were left in a state of shock and uncertainty. Although they had difficulty believing, after all, the demons had entered and exited, right?

"I've seen those demons before; they went in not long ago."

Someone remembered something and called out loudly.

"That means the battle in the lake is fierce, and the Divine Medicine is still there!"

Someone's eyes lit up.

Previous uncertainties were largely dispelled.

"That's the way it is with Tianxuan Cave; everyone can enter, but leaving depends on luck!"

Others were voicing their own opinions.

However, some people had already taken action, charging directly into the lake, saying it was to provide support.

Instantly, many more joined the ranks to descend into the lake, thinking it was not as dangerous as they had feared.

With someone leading, naturally others followed.

In a moment, another wave of descent into the lake arose, with Cultivators rushing one after another, as if fearing they'd fall behind and miss the chance of the Man-eating Beasts being killed and the Divine Medicine snatched by others.

Yet no one noticed that, far away, the Great Demon stopped on a mountain peak, looking towards them with sneers repeated.

"Alright, the mission is complete, now let's go rescue people." The Flame Winged Dragon shed its disguise, eyes shining brightly; the remaining few lesser demons were obviously Dragon Needle members in disguise, who under the control of the Flame Winged Dragon, managed to cause confusion with their realistic act.

"Ten thousand... thirteen thousand..." On Lake Heart Island, Lin Hao's lips curled slightly, roughly estimating the number of Cultivators entering the Divine Cauldron. If this concoction were to brew, then the strength of Earthlings might ascend to unimaginable levels. And then, the sky of the Upper Realm Plane is about to change!
