"Taoist with the bull-nose… Have we been rescued?" the disheveled Abbot of Jinlong Temple asked, his face filled with bewilderment as he stood in a mine at the rear mountain of Qiulong County.
This was an iron mine.
The Abbot alongside the monks from his temple had been captured by the Blood Gu Sect and thrown here to mine.
And he, a cultivator who knew the Buddhist Law, had his mana sealed by the sect. Even with his strength, he couldn't break the seal.
No mana.
How could he resist?
Helpless, he could only lead his fellow monks from the temple to toil in the mines under the coercion of the Blood Gu Sect, and had been doing so for over two months.
At that moment, the Abbot of Jinlong Temple was speaking to a white-bearded Taoist.
The white-bearded Taoist was none other than another cultivator from Qiulong County.
— Yang Yizi!
Just like the Abbot, Yang Yizi's mana had also been sealed by the Blood Gu Sect, and he was thrown in this godforsaken place to mine.
