Wild Dogs

Upon hearing this, the mortals shook their heads repeatedly.

They all knelt down and begged for mercy, asking what had happened.

Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivator frowned, then shook his head.

"Since he didn't tell you, I won't tell you either. You'll find out what's going on when you get there."

Seeing that the others wanted to say something more, the cultivator waved his hand helplessly.

"Alright, no need to say anything more, we'll know when we get there."

After he finished speaking, he shut his mouth and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Yang Fan felt uneasy and could only follow behind the other person.

And so, the cloud boat carried them as it sped forward.

As he moved forward, Yang Fan also observed the surrounding situation.

Looking around following his gaze, he could sense that the direction the cloud boat was heading was indeed becoming increasingly desolate, and the further forward it went, the more desolate the surroundings became.

Yang Fan frowned; something seemed off about this place.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan gently took out the sound transmission talisman.

There is only one Foundation Establishment cultivator now, who can relay the information in a timely manner.

For the next few days, Yang Fan would send out a sound transmission talisman every day to let Zhou Peng know his exact location.

Then Zhou Peng will be able to find himself by following the location indicated on the sound transmission talisman.

To be honest, if Yang Fan hadn't had absolute control over Zhou Peng, Zhou Peng would probably have escaped long ago.

And so, the cloud boat traveled at full speed for nearly half a month.

Along the way, all mortals had very little time to move around each day, and the vast majority of them could only stay on the deck of the cloud boat, and were not allowed to go anywhere else.

In just half a month, the entire cloud boat had traveled tens of thousands of miles.

This left Yang Fan even more confused.

He didn't know what the Blood Blade Sect members wanted to do, or where they wanted to take these mortals.

As you look around, all you see is desolation.

Yang Fan muttered to himself, "If the Blood Blade Sect really wanted to harm these mortals, they could have dealt with them long ago. Why bring them to these places?"

Yang Fan remained completely baffled.

A few days later, the speed of the cloud boat gradually slowed down. Yang Fan was suddenly startled, it seemed that they were almost there.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan immediately opened his divine sense to explore the surroundings.

Soon, his brows furrowed slightly.

He discovered that below the cloud boat was a vast mountain range, but a massive array surrounded the area, completely obscuring the view inside.

What exactly is happening inside such a massive formation?

Could it be some kind of human sacrifice or something?

As Yang Fan pondered, a chill inexplicably crept into his heart.

If they really were carrying out some kind of human sacrifice, then he would have no choice but to try his best to escape.

Fortunately, after more than half a month of recuperation, Yang Fan's cultivation has recovered to about 70-80%, so he is not worried about these Foundation Establishment cultivators causing any trouble.

After a while, the cloud boat slowly descended.

At the same time, the Foundation Establishment cultivator slowly opened his eyes and looked at the many mortals.

"Alright, everyone, we're almost there."

"Please don't be alarmed, we mean you no harm."

Hearing what the other party said, the many mortals present hurriedly nodded obsequiously, but it was hard to say how much they actually believed.

Yang Fan frowned slightly, quietly waiting for the cloud boat to land.

After a while, the cloud boat slowly landed in front of the mountain range, and then several figures flew up from below.

"Who comes here?"

After flying into the air, these people directly blocked the front of the cloud boat.

Immediately afterwards, the monk picked up the token and waved it at the group.

"We are from the Blood Blade Sect, and we were ordered to send people here."

"Oh, so you're from the Blood Blade Sect. Please come in."

"What, you've brought mortals with you?"

"Yes, the mortal has been brought, and the handover can begin immediately."

The word "delivery" made Yang Fan's heart skip a beat. Why did it still sound like a transaction?

After a while, the cultivator in front slowly flew into the restriction in his cloud boat.

Upon entering the restricted area, Yang Fan immediately looked ahead.

After entering the restricted area, the scene in front of them suddenly opened up, revealing a continuous mountain range with countless people moving back and forth at its base.

At the base of the mountain range, one can see huge caves that have been dug out.

At this very moment, ordinary people are carrying strange stones as they walk out of there.

Is this some kind of mining operation?

A strange look immediately appeared on Yang Fan's face.

He thought the Blood Blade Sect wanted to bring these people here for some kind of blood sacrifice, but it turns out they just kidnapped so many mortals to mine here.

However, there are far too many mortals being abducted here. Looking around, there are probably hundreds of thousands of mortals traveling back and forth along the entire mountain range.

The cloud boat slowly descended.

The mortals on the cloud boat breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the scene below.

They were terrified that these people might suddenly become violent and want to kill them.

Now that I only see mining, I'm not so nervous.

But the thought of being miners here forever made them extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivator standing in front coldly turned around and glanced at the crowd of mortals.

"Don't be discouraged. Let me tell you, once you get here, you'll be good miners. Complete your daily quotas. Anyone who dares to slack off or cheat will not get any food and will forget about it."

As he spoke, the cultivator waved his hand, and the cloud boat slowly descended.

Looking down at the massive mineral vein, the many ordinary people present were dejected and utterly disheartened.

With a loud crash, the cloud boat landed on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the cultivator urged the many mortals to disembark from the cloud boat.

By this point, Yang Fan had lost much of his interest.

It is now clear that this place is a mine belonging to the Blood Blade Sect and several other sects.

In order to find a way to mine the ore, they kidnapped mortals from all over the place.

However, since the Blood Blade Sect was a celestial sect, they couldn't take matters into their own hands, so they found a group of helpers to search for these mortals for them.

After looking around, Yang Fan shook his head slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his gaze and looked ahead.

He could see that people from several sects were constantly moving around the barrier.

After looking around, Yang Fan finally focused his gaze on the deepest part of the mine.

He could see a large pile of rocks being continuously pumped out from the deepest part of the vein.

I wonder what kind of ore this is, that it requires ordinary people to mine it.

Yang Fan couldn't help but scratch his head.

When he was in the sect, he knew that there were indeed many cultivators who were frequently sent to mine.

However, most of those who were mining were cultivators, or at the very least, they had some connection with a sect.

Such acts of forcibly abducting mortals are always somewhat strange.

Yang Fan looked around, trying to figure out what was going on with the mineral veins here.

He couldn't understand what kind of mineral vein it was that required so many ordinary people to mine it.
