358: He was captured and taken to the Haoran Immortal Sect!

Just as you were still immersed in the joy of Xuanyuan Tianji and the others being alive, a voice echoed in your ears.

"Oh? Someone's actually alive!"

The next second, you followed the sound.

You saw three unfamiliar faces appear, each with different expressions, but you could clearly sense that their intentions were malicious.

Immediately after, you swiftly cast the Great Void Art, preparing to leave this place.

However, the moment you activated the Great Void Art, your body was restrained.

"Immortal... Immortal King!"

You had only lightly glanced at the three people just now, then prepared to leave.

You knew you couldn't give them time to react, so you ignored their Realms.

At this moment, you realized that among the three, there was a powerful Cultivator in the Immortal King Realm.

As someone in the Late Stage Earth Immortal Realm, you were nothing but an ant in their eyes.

"People from the Haoran Immortal Sect?"

You knew that the three people appearing here most likely belonged to the Haoran Immortal Sect.

"Kid, I didn't expect you to be quite clever, but clever people often don't have good outcomes!"

"Your two good friends are waiting for you anxiously in the Haoran Immortal Sect!"

Upon hearing them mention your two friends, your heart trembled violently.

You instinctively thought that these two were very likely Xuanyuan Tianji and Ye Chuxue.

From the expressions on the three people's faces, you had already roughly deduced that the two were in a very bad situation.

And so, you were tied up by the three and brought back to the Haoran Immortal Sect.

On the way back to the Haoran Immortal Sect, you were surprised to find that the Haoran Immortal Sect was actually built near the ancient tree where you had awakened.

Returning once again to the familiar ancient tree, your eyes were filled with complex emotions.

You saw that not far behind the ancient tree where you had awakened, there were three more identical ancient trees, forming a Formation that concealed the Haoran Immortal Sect within.

After entering the Haoran Immortal Sect, you found that its situation was completely incomparable to that of the Immortal Spirit Sect.

If the Immortal Spirit Sect was once a top Sect, then the Haoran Immortal Sect was an inconspicuous small Sect, truly somewhat dilapidated.

From your interactions over these days, you currently understood that the strongest within the Haoran Immortal Sect was merely at the Immortal King Realm; you didn't know if they had an Immortal Sovereign expert.

Immediately upon returning to the Haoran Immortal Sect, your cultivation was Sealed by the three, and you were locked in a dark, sunless underground cave.

After entering the cave, you saw many people inside, but they were all very weak and, like you, had their cultivation Sealed.

"Another newcomer?"

"Once you're here, don't even think about escaping!"

You saw two people in the cave, whose complexions were still relatively good, shake their heads at you, seemingly seeing in you their own past selves when they first entered this place.

You did not show excessive panic at this.

You found the person who had just spoken and asked them what fate awaited those trapped here.

Upon hearing this, the man said nothing but looked at you deeply, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

After you stared at each other for a long time, the man slowly sighed.

The man told you that once you were caught here, you would become a slave of the Haoran Immortal Sect, tasked with mining Immortal Stones for them.

The man told you that the Haoran Immortal Sect possessed many abandoned immortal stone mine veins, and now the mine veins were just remnants, requiring significant manpower to extract Immortal Stones from them.

Subsequently, the man also told you that the Haoran Immortal Sect did not want to waste these remnants, so they would go out and capture Loose Cultivators, and even people from other Sects.

Upon hearing this, you couldn't help but frown.

"Why are they all men? Where are the women?"

The man couldn't help but let out a cold laugh upon hearing your words.

"Women? Heh heh!"

"Obedient women can stay in the Haoran Immortal Sect; disobedient ones are directly used as Cauldrons!"

Upon hearing this, your heart suddenly tightened.

Combined with what you heard from that Immortal King before you arrived, you had a bad premonition.

At present, you still needed at least three days to recover your cultivation.

Although your cultivation was currently Sealed by the opponent's Immortal King power, your Chaos Body was constantly absorbing and transforming this power.

However, because the Immortal King power was too strong, it could not be broken in a short time.

Even though it only needed three days, you didn't know what would happen to Ye Chuxue and Xuanyuan Tianji during these three days.

The reason you were so certain they were the two women was because if it were Situ Haoyue, the Haoran Immortal Sect would not be like this by now.

Over the next three days, you were constantly on edge.

You worried not for yourself, but for the safety of Xuanyuan Tianji and Ye Chuxue.

Three days passed quickly.

When you slowly opened your eyes in the cave, the surrounding stench instantly vanished, and your Sealed cultivation returned.

Just then, a puzzled voice came.

"Huh?"

"It's been seven days already, why haven't they started the next Immortal Stone collection?"

As soon as this was said, the surrounding people began to discuss it.

Through these discussions, you learned that they generally refined Immortal Stones every three days or so, with each session lasting seven days, after which they would be locked back in here.

Following this, you also learned that there was more than one such cave within the Haoran Immortal Sect.

However, the fact that there had been no Immortal Stone refining after seven days this time made you vaguely sense that something was wrong.

Thinking of this, you no longer delayed, bursting forth with your Earth Immortal Realm Qi and breaking through the barrier above the cave.

After returning to the surface, you found that the appearance of the Haoran Immortal Sect was unchanged from when you first entered.

The only difference was that the entire Haoran Immortal Sect was now engulfed in an eerie silence.

As far as your eyes could see, there was no sign of anyone.

Immediately after, you used Void Concealment, entering a translucent state.

In the state of Void Concealment, as long as a Cultivator didn't deliberately observe you with their Divine Sense, they wouldn't discover your whereabouts at all.

You followed the path, heading all the way towards the core area of the Haoran Immortal Sect.

Upon entering the core area of the Haoran Immortal Sect, you saw two Disciples flying past you in a hurry.

As they flew past you, you overheard their discussion.

And this matter immediately put your long-held anxieties at ease.

You learned from the two that Xuanyuan Tianji and the other woman were to be sent to the Immortal Spirit Sect's higher-ups as Cauldrons.
