Wild Dogs

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan gave an awkward smile.

"A real man would rather starve to death than do something so shameful."

The manager nodded.

"You've got some ambition. Alright, come with me."

Then the group was led into the Prince Qi's residence.

King Qi was getting on in years, and after looking the four people over, he was quite satisfied with them.

"Very good. Let them eat well, drink well, and stay well for the next few days. We'll send them off together when it's time."

After speaking, the King of Qi waved his hand, signaling the steward to take these people away.

"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured, I will make sure they are well-fed and healthy these next few days."

After saying this, the steward obsequiously led the four away.

Soon the four were taken to a separate courtyard.

Soldiers guarded the villa, preventing them from leaving at will.

By this point, even the most clueless among them would realize that something was wrong.

Although they longed to escape, the thought of how tragically the person who had died before them made them obediently stay in the villa.

Unlike the other three who were tense, Yang Fan was much calmer at this moment.

He originally intended to infiltrate the Blood Fiend Sect through the Blood Servant route, and for him, the opportunity had arrived.

His only worry was that he didn't know how the Blood Fiend Sect would deal with these Blood Servants.

In the following days, just as the manager had said, they were treated to fine food and wine every day, but the guards around them became increasingly strict.

A few days passed quickly, and after dinner that evening, the steward walked into the villa with a smile.

"Greetings, Steward."

The others hurriedly tried to kneel down, but the manager immediately stepped forward to help them up, smiling as he told them...

"Congratulations everyone! I have some fantastic news for you: you're about to head to the Blood Fiend Sect."

Upon hearing this, the other three were immediately bewildered.

They never imagined that they would go to the Blood Fiend Sect for no reason.

"My lord, why do you want to go to the Immortal Sect?"

The three looked at the manager with puzzlement.

Although they were beggars, they knew that the Blood Fiend Sect was a celestial sect, and that beggars like them had no right to enter such a sect.

The saying goes, "Those who offer unsolicited kindness are either treacherous or thieves."

They certainly don't see this as a good thing.

Upon hearing this, the manager glanced at them.

"Why? Because your opportunity has arrived. His Highness has been merciful and specially secured this qualification for you."

Seeing that the men seemed reluctant, the manager's expression immediately changed, and he spat hard on the ground.

"What a bunch of cowards. Even if you were given a chance, you wouldn't be able to do anything about it."

"Whether you like it or not, you must leave today. This is not up to you."

As he spoke, the steward waved his hand, and immediately a dozen fierce-looking soldiers walked in.

These soldiers were all carrying knives and spears.

Faced with these knives and spears, the other three could only obediently lower their heads and let them do as they pleased.

Then, Yang Fan and the other three were all bound hand and foot, blindfolded, and taken out of the courtyard.

There was a carriage outside the villa, and the four of them were crammed into it.

After all four people were crammed into the carriage, the steward waved his hand and looked at the soldiers.

"Send them away quickly, don't waste any more time, lest it interfere with His Majesty's important business."

The soldier nodded without saying a word, and then led the carriage away quickly into the distance.

Although Yang Fan's hands and feet were bound and he was blindfolded, his divine sense was still able to clearly detect everything happening around him.

He did not act rashly, but silently let these people lead him forward.

After a while, the carriages of the group came to a stop.

Yang Fan's divine sense probed the surroundings, and not far ahead was a wide river.

At that moment, a large ship was moored on the bank of the river, and around the ship were dozens of similar carriages.

At this moment, many people who were also blindfolded and had their hands tied were brought onto the large ship. Seeing this, Yang Fan understood.

It seems they will also be taken to this ship.

Then Yang Fan and the others were led onto a boat. After boarding, their blindfolds and ropes were not removed.

"May I ask where we are now, my friend?"

One of them couldn't help but ask the other soldiers where they were.

However, the soldiers responsible for escorting them didn't say a word. After roughly shoving them into the boat, the soldiers turned and left.

Once they were pushed into the ship, someone immediately took them inside and dumped them in a corner of the cabin.

Soon the cabin was filled with people. Yang Fan used his divine sense to investigate and he was certain that all the people present were Blood Servants.

For the next few days, someone came in to deliver meals on time every day.

However, the atmosphere inside the cabin was very oppressive. Anyone who asked a question in a low voice would be severely reprimanded by the soldiers on duty, which made everyone fall silent.

Many people are so anxious that they can't even eat.

Only Yang Fan ate with relish, as if nothing had happened.

Since he already knew what he was going to encounter next, he was naturally confident.

In the past few days, the cabin would be opened occasionally, and a effeminate man who looked like a eunuch would come in to check on their situation and make sure that no one had died inside.

Five or six more days passed, and the ship finally docked.

"You bunch of pigs, what are you all standing there for? Get out of here!"

The soldiers yelled at the people in the cabin and immediately drove them out.

Their blindfolds and ropes were removed only after everyone had reached the shore.

Many people immediately looked around in fear.

Yang Fan also scanned his surroundings, carefully examining the hundreds of people standing around him.

These people were all beggars collected from various places by the Great Liang Kingdom. They were all strong and capable of serving as blood servants.

In front of everyone, three figures were flying in mid-air.

All three were dressed in blood-red robes, and they looked quite imposing and had an extraordinary presence.

Seeing that the three of them seemed normal, Yang Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although the Blood Fiend Sect has a great reputation, it doesn't seem that sinister.

At that moment, a man with a effeminate face not far in front of the three cultivators was bowing to them.

"Greetings to the three immortal masters."

"All one hundred blood servants sent by the Great Liang Kingdom this year are here. Please examine them, three immortal masters."

Seeing this, the three nodded, and then one of them glanced at everyone.

Seeing that these people were full of energy and blood, he nodded with great satisfaction.

"Excellent, excellent. Your Great Liang Kingdom has put in a lot of effort. I am very satisfied with the blood servants you sent."

Upon hearing this, the man with the effeminate appearance immediately became extremely excited and uttered a string of auspicious words to the other party.

Seeing this, the man flying in mid-air waved his hand.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Bring up the roster and jade slip, and you may go back."

Upon hearing this, the effeminate man immediately presented a jade slip with both hands.

Seeing this, the leader grabbed the jade slip from a distance, and then with a wave of his hand, a porcelain bottle flew down.

"This contains what your emperor desires; once he sees what it contains, he will know exactly what it is."

After speaking, the three of them stared at the more than one hundred blood servants in front of them, scrutinizing them repeatedly.

Seeing this, the Blood Servants present were trembling with fear, but none of them dared to run away.

They knew how powerful these immortals were, and that if these mortals dared to disobey them, they would surely die.

After all the people from the Great Liang Kingdom had left, the leader coldly looked down at the numerous blood servants below.

"I think you already know who we are, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"That's good. Let's go. Follow me through the mountain gate first, and I'll show you around to meet people."

The man then flicked his sleeve, and a surge of spiritual energy erupted, carrying the hundreds of people with him as he flew upwards.

These beggars had never experienced anything like this before, and they screamed in terror.

Yang Fan also pretended to be panicked, but his eyes remained fixed on the three of them.

These three people are only at the seventh, eighth or ninth level of the Qi Refining stage, so they shouldn't be in charge.

Nine times out of ten, after they are taken to the Blood Fiend Sect, others will be responsible for assigning them to other positions.

Led by the three men, the Blood Servants immediately sped off into the distance.

Several hours later, the group arrived at the edge of a mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist.

The entire mountain range was shrouded in clouds and mist, and it did not look like a vicious sect. Instead, it had the aura of a celestial sect.

Yang Fan was somewhat surprised. He had thought that the area around the Blood Fiend Sect should be filled with bloody energy, but he did not expect it to be such a peaceful scene.

Just as these people approached the mountain peak, several figures emerged from the mountain.

"Who goes there? Halt!"

These people were also dressed in blood-red robes, but their aura of blood was much stronger, and their murderous intent was extremely heavy.

Seeing this, the group dared not be negligent and hurriedly bowed respectfully to the other party.

"I have met several senior brothers; they are the blood servants we brought from the Great Liang Kingdom."

"Oh, Blood Servant, is that right?"

After glancing at the numerous blood servants, the group nodded slightly. They then stepped forward to inspect the servants and, upon confirming that there were no problems, made way for them.

Seeing this, the Qi Refining stage cultivators immediately led the Blood Servants and flew inside.

Then they encountered several more layers of restrictions along the way.

Fortunately, these people all carried tokens, which allowed them to easily break the restrictions, so it didn't cause any problems.

After passing through layers of restrictions, the group arrived at a mountain peak shrouded in clouds and mist after a while.

The three then looked at the nearly one hundred blood servants behind them.

"The elders will assign you tasks. Once inside, behave yourselves and don't make any noise. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

These hundreds of people were already behaving themselves, not daring to utter a single complaint.

Seeing that everyone behaved themselves, the man was very satisfied.

He nodded, and then led them down toward the summit.

After a while, the three of them, along with the hundreds of blood servants, landed on the summit. Immediately, they stepped forward and bowed to a grand hall on the summit.

"Elder, the blood servants of the Great Liang Kingdom have been brought here. Please make your decision."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a gust of wind came from the surrounding area.

Immediately, Yang Fan felt a chill and lowered his head, glancing in that direction only out of the corner of his eye.

A moment later, a streak of light flew out of the main hall.

The streak of light stopped in front of everyone, and when the light faded, it revealed a white-haired old man.

The old man, dressed in white, had already reached the Core Formation stage in cultivation.

At this moment, he was carefully examining the numerous blood servants below and nodded slightly.

"Very good. The blood servants selected by the Great Liang Kingdom this time are all quite good. Let me see how to deal with you."

Then he waved his hand, and one of his disciples immediately stepped forward respectfully and presented him with a jade slip.

This jade slip was actually sent by that effeminate man earlier, and it contained the names of these blood servants.

After glancing at it, the old man casually called out a name.

"Qin Bo".

Upon hearing this, a sturdy young man walked out, trembling slightly.

The boy looked young, but he was unusually strong.

Yang Fan glanced at it and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

This young man's physique is top-notch among mortals.

More importantly, this person possessed incredibly vigorous blood energy.

If Yang Fan didn't use the Concealment Technique, his blood energy would only be slightly stronger than his.

"Such a strong sense of bloodlust."

The elder looked at the young man and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he gently touched the jade slip, his slender fingertip tracing its surface.

As he did this, the boy's expression changed, and then he clutched his throat in pain.

Then the elder waved his hand from a distance.

In an instant, streams of spiritual energy flew out like sharp swords, instantly tearing the person in front of them into eight pieces.

Then he raised his hand and waved it, and a porcelain bottle flew out, collecting all the blood energy from the man's body into the bottle.

"Separate his skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs, and send them to the alchemy hall. They might be able to use them for alchemy there."

"As for this bottle of blood essence, we'll send it to the Talisman Making Hall. They need some high-quality blood essence to refine talismans."

After speaking, the elder picked up the jade slip again, preparing to call out the next name.

Seeing the horrific scene, the others present trembled with fear. Several even turned and tried to flee.

"Where are you going? Stay here."

The elder looked displeased and waved his hand in the air. A tremendous force immediately descended, pressing the group of people directly to the ground.

"You think you can leave now that you've come all this way? Do you even know who you are?"

"You are all blood servants!"

"Here, life and death are in my hands. I decide whether you live or die. Anyone who dares to escape will be killed without exception."

Seeing this, Yang Fan could only suppress his fear and carefully lower his head.

He never imagined that this time it would be this dangerous.

As long as he can survive and infiltrate the Blood Fiend Sect, he will have time to make his plans at his leisure.

But if I were to be torn to pieces like that person, that would be a real problem.

Yang Fan's mind raced as he pondered how to respond.

Judging from the situation of Qin Bo's death just now, the Blood Fiend Sect values ​​blood energy very much.

This Blood Servant was chosen by the old man because his blood energy was too abundant, and the old man broke open his body to take his blood energy.

To avoid attracting attention, one must moderately conceal one's fiery temper.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan immediately used the Concealment Technique to check his body.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that his aura was not noticeable among the crowd.

If one's blood and energy are too weak, they are likely to be eliminated.

If you are too strong, you are more likely to be killed directly. Only by staying in the middle is it safest.

Then the elder called out another name.

This time, a young man emerged. Although he was physically strong, his vitality was far inferior to that of Qin Bo.

The old man raised his hand and pointed slightly, and a beam of light immediately fell on the forehead of the blood servant.

Then the blood servant let out a scream.

Immediately, everyone saw a strange mark appear on the forehead of the blood servant.

"Your blood energy is insufficient, but I see that your intelligence is still quite good. Since your intelligence is good, then go and help out at the weapon refining hall."

Then he waved his hand, sending the man aside.

Seeing this, the other blood servants also breathed a slight sigh of relief; it seemed that not everyone would die here.

For them, as long as there is even the slightest chance of survival, they will do everything in their power to seize it.

And so, he called each of the blood servants to him one by one to make his judgment.

Several of them had extremely vigorous blood and energy, which he directly dismembered and took away.

Those blood servants with weak blood energy were selected and sent to different places.

After a while, it was finally Yang Fan's turn. Yang Fan walked up to the person with a nervous expression.

After glancing at Yang Fan, the man waved his hand dismissively.

"Your blood energy is just average, and your intelligence seems to be just average as well. How about this, you go and help out in the herb field and take care of some of the herbs."

Then he flicked his finger, and Yang Fan immediately felt a sharp pain in his forehead. He fell to the ground with a scream.

After a while, a small grass-shaped mark was left on his forehead.

Yang Fan then understood that the marks on the foreheads of the blood servants assigned to different places were different.

The mark on his forehead was that of a medicinal herb when he was assigned to the herb field, a pill mark when he was assigned to the alchemy hall, and a small sword mark when he was assigned to the weapon refining hall.

It seems this is a mark used by the Blood Fiend Sect to mark blood.

After a while, a blood servant who was extremely handsome and full of vigor was summoned.

Upon seeing the blood servant, the elder's eyes lit up.

"Indeed, handsome appearance and abundant vitality. It would be a real waste to use such a talent directly for alchemy."

"How about this, send him to Hehuan Peak. I think the female cultivators there will like him very much. After he's turned into medicinal dregs, bring him back."
