บท 182: Leaving the Crypt

As the door continued to open wide, John was able to peer into the depths of the crypts lowest level. The stairwell where the four of them were standing began to glow more and more red as the crypt began to be revealed.

Elder Thame had explained the crypt in some detail as they had walked down the stairway.

According to the Elder, the crypt was used to punish both criminals and wrongdoing sect members. The crypt had five levels, and each level down was a more brutal ordeal to withstand.

The lowest level of the crypt was the most brutal, and only the worst offenders would be sent down there. In fact, it was used an a torturous execution ground for the worst offenders, who would be kept inside until they died.

However, death only occurred by spending weeks and months inside. John's stay was only three days, so his life would not be in danger.
