In the southeastern part of Lanzhou, Misty Swamp.
At this moment, ten bandit cultivators captured from outside the Hongya Marketplace by the Zhou Family and three mortals with Spirit Root Aptitude, who had been secretly gathered through the hands of loose cultivators, were all sent to a remote small island deep within Misty Swamp.
The island was secluded, with scarce resources, and very few cultivators set foot there.
Moreover, even if a cultivator came here, unless they were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, they would be driven away by the Green Wood Spirit Apes on the island.
On this day, Zhou Mingde, the Supreme Elder of the Zhou Family, quietly left Jiufeng Ridge and secretly made his way to the island.
He first swept the captured bandit cultivators with his Divine Sense.
These bandit cultivators had been continually drugged into unconsciousness and were guarded by the Green Wood Spirit Apes around the clock; they didn't even know where they were.
