Chapter 620.
A magnificent castle rose up in the middle of Flying Floss Valley.
This castle was built on top of the ruins of the original Flying Flotsam Camp, but the aura pattern was very different!
The outer wall of the castle was made of ten-foot square green granite, and each side of the cornerstone was carefully polished into a square, and then the surface was coated with a special mastic adhesive, and finally a spell was applied to solidify it.
And all the green granite was mined manually from the deep mountains a hundred miles away.
The miners and stonemasons were none other than the Flying Flotsam Battalion’s loose cultivators who had been reduced to slave cultivators.
All of them were put under slave seals and restraints, taking on the hardest work, eating more than they could eat and working more than they could work, being squeezed to the limit.
As for the family members of these loose cultivators, they were doing the work of slaves and servants.
The one who bought them from the Giant Elephant Demon and built a castle in the Fei Fu Valley was a small cultivation sect.
Divine Illumination Sect.
This sect did not know for what purpose they came here, purchased slave cultivators to build a big construction, and put up a long-term operation, in fact, completely replacing the original Fei Wushu Camp.
The poor Flying Floss Camp’s loose cultivators, however, had to quarry stone in the dark and sunless mines.
Zhang Mushan wiped the sweat from his forehead and ended up smearing his hand with lime.
He licked his already dry and cracked lips, and his throat burned with pain as if it was on fire!
This Purple Mansion cultivator quietly glanced at the overseer standing not far away, and urged his dying dantian mana into the mining knife in his hand, struggling to slice through the rock in front of him and dig out the complete stone.
The hardness of green granite was very high, especially this kind of stone that was deep within the mountains, it was an excellent raw material used to build city walls and high towers.
However, green granite was also very difficult to mine, and one could not use spells such as fossilizing stone into mud to speed up the speed and efficiency.
It could only be cut down by manual digging.
Zhang Mushan had already been in this mine for two months of hard work.
As a slave cultivator, Zhang Mushan didn’t receive any preferential treatment due to his purple mansion status, instead he had to complete many more tasks than Qi Practicing cultivators every day.
If he couldn’t complete the tasks, not only would Zhang Mushan himself be punished, but his wife and two children would also be deprived of food!
Zhang Mushan had no choice but to treat himself like a cow or a horse, working hard every day to “feed his family”.
This may be the reason why this Immortal Cultivation Sect bought him together with his wife and children.
In fact, Zhang Mushan is not alone, there are many other cultivators who are in the same situation as him, all of them are living a miserable life under the oppression of the Divine Illumination Sect, but all of them can not give birth to the slightest intention to resist.
Two months down, Zhang Mushan both physical and mental, all exhausted to the extreme.
However, he knew very well that he could not fall down yet!
“Big Brother Zhang.”
Suddenly, a thin voice entered Zhang Mushan’s ears.
Zhang Mushan’s body shook, unable to believe his ears.
This voice was too familiar to him!
Using great perseverance, Zhang Mushan did not allow himself to show the slightest bit of abnormality, and the work in his hands was without pause.
So as not to incur the suspicion and beating of the overseer!
At the same time he gently nodded his head, indicating that he had heard Wang Chen’s voice.
“Big brother Zhang, I’m here to get you out.”
Zhang Mushan hadn’t heard correctly, it was Wang Chen who had sent him a message by means of sound transmission.
Two months ago, after Wang Dust realized that Zhang Mushan’s family of four had not been taken away, but remained in the Ruined Valley, he had been planning a rescue plan.
Wang Dust first lurked and carefully observed, and only after grasping Zhang Mushan’s daily activities did he try to get in touch with him to facilitate his next move.
Since the Divine Illumination Sect kept an extremely tight watch on the slave cultivators, coupled with the fact that Fei Shu Valley had built a large-scale castle, Wang Dust was unable to find a suitable opportunity inside, so he chose to approach Zhang Mushan in the mines.
Wang Dust’s method was actually very simple, which was to dig secret tunnels far away from the mines.
Step by step, a little bit closer to the target.
It seemed simple to say, but in reality, if you wanted to achieve your goal without being discovered, you needed rich experience and strong strength, and you also had to possess enough caution.
None of these Wang Dust lacked.
It took him most of a month to quietly open a secret passage connecting the mine!
However, after hearing Wang Chen’s voice transmission, Zhang Mushan shook his head slightly.
He didn’t want Wang Chen to save himself!
Observing the position of the overseer out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Mushan secretly emptied his left hand and his fingers flew to write a few words on the rock wall next to him.
While Wang Dust could transmit his voice to him, Zhang Mushan did not dare to respond in the same way.
Because his body had been placed under slave seals and prohibitions, the slightest movement would attract the attention of the overseer.
So it could only be done in this way.
Zhang Mushan himself was not afraid of death, but when it came to involving his family and Wang Chuan, who wanted to save him, it was a different story!
He believed that Wang Chuan could see his movements.
Wang Chuan did see it.
Zhang Mushan wrote three words: save the child.
Zhang Mushan knew very well that he had no chance of escaping.
The slave seal and prohibition in his body were like two sealed poisons that would explode once he was out of the restricted area.
There was no doubt that he would die!
But his two daughters were different.
Immediately afterward, Zhang Mushan struggled to mine the stone while delivering a message to Wang Duan.
It was just that he would eventually encounter a ghost when he walked too much at night, and even though he hid it well, he was still discovered by the overseer to have a hint of abnormality.
“What are you doing?”
The burly overseer immediately swung his whip and viciously struck Zhang Mushan’s face, “If you want to die, just say so explicitly, don’t play tricks with me, you can’t afford to!”
Immediately, Zhang Mushan’s face received a deep bone bruise, and crimson blood gushed out.
He couldn’t help but stifle a grunt and lowered his head, letting the blood on his face drip onto the ground.
The overseer lashed him two more times before snarling angrily, “Double the amount of stone mined today, or else your family won’t be able to have a meal!”
Zhang Mushan bent down deeply, like a downtrodden old dog.
His hair was already quite a bit gray.
And at this moment, Wang Dust quietly exited the secret passage where he was hiding and closed it completely.
Zhang Mushan couldn’t go and didn’t want to go, so this secret passage that had been painstakingly dug out couldn’t be used anymore.
Just trying to rescue Zhang Mushan’s two daughters was likewise not an easy task.
The families of the Flying Floss Battalion cultivators were all concentrated in the newly built castle, with adults and children all separated.
The adults had all been placed under slave seals and restraints, and the children had been kept in captivity as hostages because they couldn’t bear it.
It was equally well guarded.
Moreover, there was a Jindan real person guarding in the Divine Illumination Sect!
This meant that Wang Chen had to rescue the two children under the eyes of the Jindan real person.
The difficulty could be imagined!
But that didn’t mean that Wang Chuan was at his wit’s end.
