Seven Deadly Sins System

In a secret room, a dozen or so people were sitting around a long table, looking at each other silently and thus making the atmosphere grim.

Some of these people were men and some of them were women and their ages varied, ranging from them being young adults to them being old people that looked almost ready to die.

Despite this, all these different people had gathered here, so it was clear that they shared something in common.

"Things can't continue to go on like this! Why are the natives of this world so strong?", a young man suddenly broke the silence in the room, hitting the table in front of him with anger.

"That's right, are all the major forces just sending us to die?"

"We must all work together to kill those damn lowly natives!"

"If it were not for the fact that this world is suppressing our power, how could these mere mortals dare to kill us?"

Everyone in the room immediately echoed the young man's words, voicing their complaints loudly.

"Cough, cough.", a middle-aged woman that sat next to the young man suddenly coughed, interrupting their words and drawing everyone's attention.

From the look on everyone's face when looking at her, it was clear that the status of this woman was extraordinary among this group.

In fact, although everyone here was a member of one of the major forces and they had all gathered here to try and find a solution, this didn't mean that their status was really equal.

For example, this middle-aged woman's real realm is the Late Stage of the Shackles Realm and even though she was unable to use her real strength, nobody would dare to offend her easily.

After all, it was impossible to know just how many trump cards such a person had.

Seeing that everyone's eyes was on her, the woman nodded her head and spoke up: "I believe that everyone here knows by now that there must be a traitor among us."

"Otherwise, the royal family and the Holy Church wouldn't have been able to find a way to deal with all our means so easily and kill so many of us."

"After all, although we're being suppressed in this world, with the means that us cultivators have, we should be able to at least escape even when we are in danger."

The woman's words received a look of approval by everyone and knew that what she was saying was correct.

Of course, it was also possible that the natives of this world were able to look into other people's memories, but no one dared to believe such a thing.

Even in the extremely advanced Cultivation World, skills that were able to do such a thing were very rare and difficult to obtain, let alone in this low-level world.

When she saw that everyone agreed, the woman continued, her tone changing:

"However, what all of you don't know is that apart from the royal family and the Holy Church, there is one more big force in this world, that is constantly fighting against them."

"Not only is that force opposed to the royal family and the Holy Church, but they are also very accepting of us, willing to let us join its ranks and become its members."

The woman spoke and her words slowly became louder as time went on.

At the same time, her voice seemed to contain a strange power that would cause other people to let down their guard and subconsciously trust her words.

However, everyone here was a cultivator and such means wouldn't work against them.

When the people in the room heard her words, their expressions changed instantly and they seemed to have realized something.

"Xiao Li, you've betrayed us too?", the young man that was the first to speak up suddenly jumped up from his chair and yelled in anger, pointing at the woman in disbelief.

In response, Xiao Li didn't show any signs of panic, but she shook her head calmly: "I didn't betray anyone. It's a fact that if we don't find someone to rely on, it's very likely that we'll all end up dead."

"The Demon Cult, a force that is very accepting of extraterrestrial visitors like us, is arguably our only option at the moment."

After she said this, Xiao Li's eyes turned sharp and she looked around, staring into everyone's eyes.

"Moreover, these words are not mine, but senior brother Mu's. I believe that you all know that senior brother Mu, the quasi-core disciple from the Original Desire Sect."

"Over the past month or so, senior brother Mu was not only able to become a member of the Demon Cult, but he also managed to become a high-level member of the Demon Cult, having the power to recruit other people."

"Today, I came here to invite all of you to join us. Only by working together can we survive the hunt of the royal family and the Holy Church."

After she said this, Xiao Li didn't speak anymore, allowing silence to spread in the room once more.

Xiao Li was very confident that nobody here would be able to refuse her invitation.

Although cultivators usually preferred to be independent and didn't like taking orders, if their life was in danger, they would always make the right decision.

Indeed, just as Xiao Li expected, even the young man that previously accused her of betraying them remained silent, many emotions alternating in his eyes.

In the end, the young man sighed and sat back on his chair, resigning to his fate.

With the young man not saying anything, the rest of the people did the same and even though they didn't say yes, their silence was enough to reveal their answer.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Xiao Li's face and she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"With the recruitment of these people, senior brother Mu will surely reward me handsomely.", she thought secretly, but she didn't say these words out loud.

"Okay everyone, you don't have to worry. From now on, we will all be senior brother Mu's subordinates.", Xiao Li comforted them and on her palm, a dozen or so strange red runes appeared out of nowhere.

"This is the mark given to me by senior brother Mu. As long as you absorb it in your body, you will become one of us.", she said.

Then, Xiao Li was about to give a rune to each person, when out of nowhere, dense white mist appeared in the room, spreading at an extremely fast pace.

In the blink of an eye, the white mist had spread throughout the room, engulfing every single one of them.

Before Xiao Li could react, her vision went dark.

When she opened her eyes again, Xiao Li discovered that she was in a dark place, surrounded by boundless white mist that made it impossible for her to see anything around her.

This change was too sudden, making her a little panicked, but she forced herself to calm down.

"Everyone? Do you hear me?", she yelled, trying to see if the other people had also been transported here and if she could communicate with them.

Unfortunately, although her words echoed in this dark place and spread everywhere, she didn't receive any response.

Just as Xiao Li was about to step forward to investigate this place, the white mist in front of her suddenly rioted and gathered together, forming a blade made out of mist.

The next moment, this blade moved, falling towards Xiao Li's neck.

"Swoosh!"

Xiao Li had no time to put up any resistance and the blade passed through her neck easily, causing blood to splatter everywhere and her head to fall to the ground.

Even then, a look of disbelief remained on Xiao Li's head, making the last thoughts before her death clear.

The same exact scene took place in many areas of this world that covered in mist, with the mist attacking the cultivators that had been previously been at the gathering and harvesting their lives.

The death of so many cultivators would have surely alerted someone in the Cultivation World, but in this place, no one was here to witness these events.

When the last cultivator's body dropped to the ground, the space of this strange world started shattering, with space cracks appearing all over the place.

Then, it completely broke, splitting into pieces and destroying the evidence of these people's deaths.
