For a whole day, Biswa, Old man Khan and the
stagecoach all were traveling in the wagon at a moderate pace. At night, the old man Khan out of the wagon to look for food.
In this world one thing, we can say for sure that the amount of beast present is high so people can live just by hunting also.
The interesting thing is that even in the outer forest many low-level beasts whose number didn't seem to decrease even if people kill them every day. This may be due to the beast didn't need too much time to meet.
Either way, this world doesn't seem to go through any of the endangered species, even if they go through this world doesn't seem to mind.
In my world, it took a total of 200 years for people to understand and give importance to this matter. And another 50 years needed for this condition to stabilize.
The next day, the group reached a village. Maybe a demonic cultivation site disguise as a village. Biswa asked the stagecoach about this place. He said there here people come to learn cultivation. All these people turn into minions of the Black Sect.
The 'Village' was covered by a wall of thick tree trunks joined together with ropes. At the gate, some people were already waiting for their arrival.
Biswa and the old man khan got out of the wagon and greeted the people in the gate. After some talking, they went inside. We can see guards everywhere and most of these guards were silver ranked. The most important feature is that these guards had a serious expression and give off a feeling of highly trained men.
They went through the road and meet a large Assam type house. This was the only house in the area and also their main office. They entered the office.
....
They were served warm with good food and rested a little. The station leader also came and greeted them.
"I am called Gao Shen. I am the station leader of this place. We have gotten information about your arrival. But since you are here you have to follow some rules. I will give our best silver rank disciples to you to lead a party. The tribe elder said that not to give you too hard mission but in this place, if you wish to lead a life while sitting is not possible.
I will ask some people to show you around this place. You can follow him to reach the residence of our disciple. Any matter from now on you can ask him for help."
After saying that Gao Shen went away fast just how fast he came. Though he was arrogant. He didn't mistreat them, maybe due to him thinking that Biswa is tribe leaders disciple or maybe that he doesn't put them in his eyes.
This time another man became the servant of the two. Old man Khan as ordered couldn't leave the side of Biswa. This old man always had the same poker face, and even if Biswa tried to ask some questions this old man would ignore him most of the time. Biswa wanted to know if this was the real character of the man or a result of turning into a puppet. Would this guy give information about him to that Ami Shah guy if he were to act out of character?
Seem like Biswa needs to find a way to get out of the clutches of this character.
....
That night was one of the Best night Biswa had in this period. Soft bad and blanket with pillows.
...
The next day.
Biswa woke up early in the morning. He saw the old man meditating at the corner of the room. The old man seems to like to cultivate like crazy.
'System is there any way we can make this old man normal. I see him as just a puppet, so maybe he was a good guy who was captured by Ami Sha.'
[The system can destroy the remaining effect of the parasitic soul but the original soul of the body has been suppressed for too long. Without an external supplement, the soul of the old man will not be as powerful as before and maybe too fragile.]
'To increase his soul capacity, we need various types of soul herds, but that soul herds are very rare and only sold in auctions.'
Just then a servant came, he knocked at the door. Biswa opened the door, " Your breakfast is ready come and eat in the dining hall."
The man was not polite at all and had a snort expression. He was clearly not willing to serve Biswa. Biswa went down to find the dining hall. The people there were very wild. Some were even fighting amongst each other.
The dining hall was not clean at all and Biswa did not like such a rough environment. So he finished fast and followed the servant.

In a distant hill
Hundreds of children were working hard. They were all running up the hill. These children were not above 10years of age and all are immature who should be playing with their friends. But here in this demonic sect, forget such luxury having to eat only will get them to compete with each other.
This was a race going on to the top of the hill. The top of the hill had a plateau-like area.
This race was supervised by cold-blooded instructors.
"Remember those who get to the plateau before sundown will get to eat. The others will have to starve. Those who cannot come to the plateau should not dare to live." an instructor shouted.
He turned to another person. "Tomorrow, some people are coming, we have to end our tour fast today."
"But sir, 30 children still hadn't come back."
"30, huh... leave them. Anyway in this forest those kids will not be able to survive more than 3 days anyway."
The instructors picked all of the students in the platform and started sprinting towards the 'village'. When the last instructor took off with the kids he saw a child who just had reached the plateau. He was very small maybe not even 8 years. The child had cuts all over its body.
The child when he saw that the instructor left he knew that he was left behind. He started to cry.
