Chapter 2659: This Is Punishment

stly different from what it is now. While land was valuable, it wasn't to the extent it is today. Plus, I knew the people in charge of land allocation quite well, so acquiring a plot wasn't difficult,...This is an important issue.

From the conversation between these deacons, it seems they are a little jealous of Wang Tian's abilities.

If you're jealous, then you must have investigated how Wang Tian did it.

Perhaps, we can glean some clues from them.

"Wang, Wang Tian Shi..." Tan Rong was panicked and stammered.

"Tell me everything you know, and you'll live." Fang Yu said calmly.

"I, I really don't know. He always manages to bring back quite a number of slaves regularly. We're also very puzzled as to how he does it, because in recent years... the human population has dwindled, and finding slaves hasn't been as easy as before..." Tan Rong replied tremblingly. "That's also why slave prices have been rising steadily these past few years..."

"You're all so suspicious, haven't you even tried to find the answers Ask him, or force him…" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and asked.

"I, we didn't..." Tan Rong replied even more flusteredly.

Obviously, he thought Fang Yu had come to take revenge on behalf of Wang Tian.

"I warn you again, you just need to tell me the truth. Don't worry about anything else. If even one word you say is false, I will kill you," Fang Yu grabbed Tan Rong's collar and said in a cold voice.

"No, don't kill me, please don't kill me... We did ask Wang Tian... But, he wouldn't say anything, even after we tortured him. He refused to talk. Afterwards, we were helpless because Wang Tian always brought in profit for the slave camp and the upper management felt he was still useful... We didn't dare risk his life." Tan Rong answered fearfully.

"Don't you have any clues For example, where does Wang Tian always go before bringing back a certain number of humans Haven't you ever followed him" Fang Yu asked with furrowed brows.

He could be sure that these guys in front of him definitely knew something.

Because they would inevitably be unable to stand a Human King, Tian Shi, surpassing them in success.

So, they would definitely try every means possible to find out Wang Tian's way.

“I, yes, we did... but all I know is that every time Wang Tian went into the mountains of the east, once he entered there, his whereabouts would become mysteriously lost, and we could never track him again.” Tan Rong said, “I really told you everything I know, please, please Great Venerable, don’t kill me, don't kill me…”

"The mountains in the east Which mountain, tell me its exact location." Fang Yu said coldly.

……

An hour later, Fang Yu and Zhixi left the slave-trading camp and headed towards the eastern mountain mentioned by Tan Rong.

Before leaving, Fang Yu coerced Tan Rong into accepting a blood pact, thus achieving complete control over him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang. It was my subordinates who failed to watch over Wang Tian properly, which led to this..."

On the way to that mountain, Zhixi apologized profusely.

"The other party wants to silence you. Your men being there would be pointless, only costing another life." Fang Yu said calmly.

Whoosh!

Tan Rong's so-called mountain was actually not far from the slave trading camp, just outside the city.

Soon, Fang Yu and Zhi Xi arrived before this mountain.

It was indeed a massive mountain range, split down the middle, revealing a fissure-like path.

According to Tan Rong, Wang Tian would enter this mountain every time.

But as soon as he entered the mountains, Wang Tian would always disappear in a way that was inexplicable, leaving them completely lost.

And this mountain also has a strange place.

It was certainly large, but not so large that even divine consciousness couldn't search it.

Once his consciousness was released, he searched the entire mountain, but found nothing. All that could be seen was a vast expanse of gray and white.

This is clearly not right. Tan Rong and several other elders suspect that some kind of prohibition or illusion formation has been set up within this mountain range.

However, they were unable to find it and felt no sense of restriction or illusion.

That left them with no choice.

As for Wang Tian, he would return to the slave-trading camp after a few hours, bringing back dozens or hundreds of human slaves and receiving a generous reward.

Continuous cycles.

Gradually, these attendants also had to give up on continuing to track Wang Tian.

"I should have had Wang Tian bring me here to take a look that day... I just didn't expect him to be silenced." Fang Yu's eyes flickered as he stepped into the path in the middle of the mountain.

"Click, snap..."

The stones on the ground were very fragile and crumbled under Fang Yu's foot.

Fang Yu glanced at the gravel beneath his feet, his brow furrowed.

At this time, he had already released his divine consciousness, spreading throughout the entire mountain.

As Tan Rong said, all that one's divine sense could perceive was... a gray and white expanse.

“If the mysterious person who traded with Wang Tian knew about my conversation with him and then decided to strike… then he definitely wouldn't be here right now, he might even erase all traces left behind.” Fang Yu thought to himself, “But no matter what, I still have to try my best to find some clues, otherwise… this lead will be completely cut off.”

Thinking this way, Fang Yu closed his eyes and prepared to run the Form Manifestation Law.

Just then.

"Whew..."

Within the quiet and deserted mountain path, a sudden gust of wind arose!

This gust of wind swept in from behind, like a hurricane, carrying with it large amounts of white smoke!

"Whoosh..."

The strong wind quickly engulfed Fang Yu and Zhixi.

However, Zhixi remained in place after the gust of wind swept past.

But Fang Yu... had already disappeared.

"Fang Daye!" Zhixi's eyes widened, looking from the front to the back.

There was no sign of Fang Yu.

Not even a trace of breath was left!

"Fang Dazhen..."

Zhixi took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and slowly retreated.

She was very clear that, with Fang Yu's abilities, it was basically impossible for anything to happen to him.

Now, she must protect herself and temporarily withdraw from the mountain's range.

……

"Whew..."

After being engulfed by a gale carrying white smoke, Fang Yu only felt his body lighten, followed by a swift leap.

It wasn't long before his feet were firmly planted back on the ground.

The white smoke in front of me gradually dissipated, revealing the view ahead.

Fang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

In front of him, less than twenty meters away, stood a figure dressed in black shirt and trousers, wearing a pitch-black mask. It stared directly at him.

This figure's appearance... was exactly the same as the mysterious entity Wang Tian described in their trade!

The mask had no patterns, and didn't reveal the eyes, mouth, or nose—it was just a solid black expanse.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you dare to show up in front of me, why do you still want to silence others"

“Silence No, that was just punishment for breaking his promise.” the mysterious person replied.a rocket."Boom..."It traverses the void, unaffected by powerful gravity.The ogre roared, opening its maw wide against the charging Celestial Spear."Hum!"Within its gaping maw, a swirling vortex of unc...
