Chapter 2411: Chapter 2431: Became a Slave Just Like That?

Hot!

Even though everyone was a cultivator, standing under three fiercely burning suns, they still felt as if they were about to be charred any moment.

People brought out all sorts of magical treasures to cool themselves down, creating a bizarre sight that added a touch of comedy to the otherwise tense atmosphere.

Lin Chen looked at the scene before him and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

Fortunately, Chu Jiaxue and the other two women didn’t come with me, otherwise, this trip might have been fraught with disasters.

"Follow the direction of the sun, travel three thousand li, and you will find your dwelling place. Someone will guide you there."

"Runaways will be killed."

The icy words suddenly echoed in midair.

The people looked around but still couldn’t find the speaker, and fear instantly gripped their hearts.

This woman is too powerful.

What exactly does she want everyone to do?

The suns were scorching as if their bodies could ignite at any moment. The people didn’t want to be roasted under these suns, so since they were already here, they decided to go and see what was really going on.

It couldn’t be possible that this woman had taken so much trouble to capture so many people only to kill them off simply.

Everyone flew towards the direction of the sun. Three thousand li passed in a blink of an eye.

In midair, there was an old man with his hands clasped behind his back, awaiting the people’s arrival.

"Everyone’s here?"

"Follow me."

Finally seeing a person, naturally, someone couldn’t help but ask, "Excuse me, where exactly are we, and who are you, Your Excellency?"

The old man replied calmly, "Like you, I also came here from a replaced Secret Realm, just a bit earlier. My surname is Chen, and I am temporarily assuming the role of housekeeper. You can call me Steward Chen or Old Chen."

Lin Chen and a few others already knew the truth, so they weren’t surprised, but the others widened their eyes in shock.

"Are all those who disappeared in the previous Secret Realm here?"

"What are we supposed to do here?"

"Can we go back?"

Steward Chen’s expression remained calm as everyone bombarded him with questions, and then he calmly began to speak, "First, once everyone arrives here, you become the slaves of the Master, with your lives and deaths in the Master’s hands."

Slaves?

We’ve become slaves just like that?

Although everyone felt discontented, no one spoke out in contradiction.

Li Qianxing’s attempt to invoke the Myriad Immortal Hall and the Immortal Emperor only to be half beaten to death was still fresh in their minds.

Life and death were in someone else’s hands. If they were slaves, then slaves it would be. Who could object when they didn’t have the strength to defeat their captors?

"Second, everyone here must work, periodically handing over a certain quantity of specified resources to the Master. Any additional gains belong to the individual. If you exceed the required amount, you can exchange them for points. Points can be exchanged for Cultivation Techniques, cultivation resources, and such. Accumulate enough points, and you can even exchange them for your freedom."

Upon hearing this, a glint of excitement showed in everyone’s eyes.

Freedom!

Although it was predictable that those points would not be easy to earn and the sum needed to exchange for freedom would not be small, there was still hope, wasn’t it?

A set of rules established by a Quasi-Saint was not something the people believed to be a deception, and even if someone wanted to conceal the secrets of this place, a Major Oath of the Heavenly Dao, "Reveal the secrets here and be destroyed by the Heavenly Dao," would easily take care of it.

Steward Chen continued, "Third, since everyone is a slave and lives belong to the Master, fighting and robbery are forbidden. Violators will be severely punished."

"Alright then, everyone, follow me."

Steward Chen turned and started walking, and everyone hurriedly followed.

After flying for a while, Steward Chen descended and then flew into a massive gorge.

This gorge was deep, and because of the angle of the sun, its rays couldn’t reach the deeper parts of the gorge. The deeper they flew into the gorge, the cooler it became.

Soon, everyone landed at the bottom of the gorge. The air was still hot and dry, but at least it didn’t feel like being directly roasted by fire anymore.

On both sides of the gorge, many large caves had been carved into the rock walls. As the group arrived, shadows began to emerge from many cave entrances.

"Yo, Steward Chen, new arrivals?"

"Looks like quite a few have come this time."

"The more the better. If we can clean this place out sooner, we won’t have to suffer here anymore. If we keep enduring like this, sooner or later, we’ll die here."

Lin Chen glanced over to see that the cave openings were densely packed across the wall, so numerous that they appeared endless at a glance.

If one cave was for one person, then there must be at least thousands, or even more.

Steward Chen did not engage with those people and instead turned to instruct, "The surface temperature is too high, so this rift is where we live. Further below, there are underground water sources."

"I will give each of you a badge, which you must wear around your neck at all times and never remove. Anyone who removes it will be treated as a runaway and executed without mercy!"

"After receiving your badge, first settle down in your dwelling. As you have seen, there are many caves on these rock walls. Most are uninhabited, and you can choose any or carve out your own. Just don’t collapse the place."

"As today is your first day, you won’t be assigned work. What you need to do is familiarize yourselves with this place and adjust your mindset, because from now on, you will live here for a long time..."
