Ye Fan weakly said, "Release these villagers. They are innocent, and what's more, they are subjects of your Flame Valley. Is this how Flame Valley treats its own people?"
"Excellent. We were just looking for a sacrifice, and you alone are worth an entire group. HAHAHA! Men, take him away!"
"Yes!"
Ye Fan was led away by the group of martial cultivators.
The villagers shivered with fear. They seemed to be out of danger, but the elder knew their lives had been exchanged for Ye Fan's.
Ye Fan was taken into the Flame Tower, feeling utterly weak. I've already decided. Once the sacrificial ritual begins, I'll enter the demonic state. It's dangerous, but it's a measure I'm forced to take.
"Lock him up!"
He was locked in a cage where several other people were also imprisoned. Looking at their despondent faces, Ye Fan noticed they all bore the mark of the Divine Continent Sword.
Ye Fan asked them, "Can any of you contact the leader of Sword Coming, Senior Zhan Xiong?"
