Wild Dogs

The name "Thousand Soul Banner" didn't sound good, so Yang Fan simply came up with a nicer name.

After carefully examining the Thousand Soul Banner, Yang Fan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"What a pity, this is the Thousand Soul Banner. If it were the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, it might have been able to become the Human Emperor Banner if it were upgraded with the small cauldron."

After putting away the Human King Banner, Yang Fan continued searching among the human bones and skeletons below.

Since there's a Thousand Soul Banner here, there might be other treasures as well.

However, after searching around, Yang Fan didn't find anything of value, so he carefully left the place.

Yang Fan then searched the surrounding area again.

Besides this mass grave, there are several other similar mass graves on the second level.

Looking at the skeletons in the pit, Yang Fan felt a little heavy-hearted.

Clearly, these cultivators who practiced the Blood Path had slaughtered countless people in the Blood Cave.

This place was once the dumping ground for corpses of a major sect in the Blood Path, so Yang Fan could understand that there were more corpses, but the number still exceeded his expectations.

And this is only the second level; there will be even more corpses on the third level.

After leaving the mass grave, Yang Fan continued his search for medicinal herbs.

Yang Fan had already gained enough from the second floor today, but he wasn't ready to leave yet.

To get something better, he must keep going.

This place is both a dumping ground for corpses and a former stronghold of a major bloodline sect. Besides medicinal herbs, it will also be rich in treasures.

If something like the Thousand Soul Banner appears on the second level, then the third level might hold even more treasures.

Yang Fan made up his mind to go to the third floor.

After searching the second layer again, Yang Fan indeed found several more valuable treasures in the other mass graves.

These few items were relatively ordinary, so Yang Fan thought for a moment and put them away separately.

Although he wanted to win first place this time, he could only do so if he didn't attract too much attention.

If you bring out too many or too good items, anyone who isn't stupid will see the problem.

While searching the second floor, Yang Fan encountered several more robberies.

Many blood servants are well aware that they don't search for their own resources but instead steal the results of others' efforts.

Yang Fan killed all of them instantly.

My secrets must never be revealed to these people.

Once everything was settled, Yang Fan headed towards the third floor.

Although many blood servants entered the Blood Cave, most of them only dared to stay on the first floor.

They knew that the blood energy in the two layers behind them was too heavy, and they wouldn't be able to hold on even if they went down, so they only dared to stay on the outermost edge.

After searching the second floor thoroughly, Yang Fan stepped onto the third floor.

As soon as Yang Fan entered the third floor, he could feel that the blood energy on the third floor was much stronger than that on the second floor.

As the rush of blood surged through him, Yang Fan's brows furrowed involuntarily.

Fortunately, his physique was much stronger than that of ordinary blood servants, so although the blood energy was difficult to endure, he was able to bear it.

As Yang Fan moved forward, he shook his head. No wonder those Qi Refining stage disciples were unwilling to come here, and specifically sent these Blood Servants down. It turned out that even cultivators could be affected by this blood energy.

After he reached the third floor, the number of blood servants on the entire third floor decreased significantly.

In this way, one's identity is less likely to be exposed.

Yang Fan looked around but couldn't find any other Blood Servants, so he walked forward.

After walking for a while, Yang Fan stopped.

Not far ahead of him was a place that resembled a medicinal herb garden.

It was filled with all sorts of medicinal herbs, but the garden was surrounded by piles of human skeletons.

After glancing at the skeletons, Yang Fan looked around warily. He didn't notice anyone lurking nearby, but he didn't approach rashly.

He had already spent a considerable amount of time searching the first and second levels, but there were so many medicinal herbs on the third level that no one had picked them. This didn't make sense; it was likely a trap.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan immediately wanted to quietly bypass the area, but he had only taken two steps when a cold snort came from the side.

"Kid, why don't you go in and gather some medicinal herbs?"

Yang Fan turned around and saw four blood servants walk out from the side. These blood servants were all carrying sharp swords and staring intently at Yang Fan.

Seeing this, Yang Fan frowned and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Gentlemen, I am merely passing by and have no intention of robbing you of the medicinal herbs. Please be lenient."

After saying that, Yang Fan turned and left.

"Why should we leave? Did we say you could leave?"

One of them spat coldly at the ground and immediately rushed over from the side, blocking Yang Fan's path.

"You come and go as you please? What do you take this place for? Kid, tell me honestly, which sect are you from?"

Yang Fan was losing his patience. He had originally intended not to argue with these people, but since they insisted on challenging him, Yang Fan decided not to be polite.

He put his hands behind his back and looked coldly at the group.

"To be honest, I don't want to kill anyone. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way right now, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Upon hearing this, the blood servants immediately snorted coldly.

"Oh, you're all talk and no action. Come on, let's see how you behave."

One of the Blood Servants immediately swung his large sword and slashed at Yang Fan.

Yang Fan nimbly dodged to the side, then grabbed the man's throat with his other hand.

Then, with a sharp twist, the claw snapped the man's throat and left him to sever it.

He is not a bloodthirsty person, but that doesn't mean he is weak and easily bullied.

Others have already dared to bully him. If he doesn't deal with these people, he'll never have a moment's peace.

Seeing how easily Yang Fan killed his companion, the remaining three immediately realized that the situation was bad and turned to run away.

"You should stay here with me."

Yang Fan immediately charged forward on his sword, directly in front of the other three. After killing the other two, he kicked the last one to the ground.

The man screamed, rolled several times, and then lay on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to Yang Fan.

"Please spare me, immortal! Please spare me, immortal!"

This person had no idea how Yang Fan had managed to sneak in.

All the blood servants were clearly inspected by elders at the Core Formation stage before entering the Blood Cave.

Logically speaking, no cultivator should be able to sneak in, but Yang Fan appeared here so openly and brazenly.

The Blood Servant cursed inwardly, but outwardly he was trembling with fear before Yang Fan.

Yang Fan stepped on the back of the blood servant and stomped down hard until the blood servant screamed in agony before he eased off a bit.

"You guys are really something, how did you know to use a medicinal herb garden to set a trap here?"

"Listen, you should have maps given to you by the sect, right?"

Yang Fan glanced at them as he spoke.

"Judging from your clothes, you should be from the Blood Witch Sect."

"How interesting. Aren't you Blood Witch Sect members skilled in witchcraft?"

"Didn't they teach you any witchcraft when they came in?"
