After I leave, you will be the temple keeper of this Tudimiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are different from me; you can choose your own life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you feel that the identity of 'temple keeper' is a shackle, you can leave this place; no one will stop you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blinking her eyes as if she half-understood, Xiao E tried hard to commit the old granny's words to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she could not understand the meaning of these words for the time being, Xiao E knew that the old granny would not harm her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand, Granny, you must take care of yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glimmer of attachment and reluctance flashed in her eyes, but the old granny eventually smiled and waved at Xiao E.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at you, is Granny the kind of person who doesn't know how to take care of herself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………………………………………………………………………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on a country dirt road hundreds of kilometers away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A great army of nearly ten thousand people was migrating, and their target was the direction of Gaocun Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, calling it a \"great army\" was not entirely accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in this migration force of nearly ten thousand people, over ninety percent were sallow, emaciated slaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These slaves were originally mountain folk who lived in various forests and mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they were bound by various wooden cangues and leg shackles, forced to join this large-scale migration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For every ten meters they moved forward, multiple slaves would be abandoned for failing to keep up with the team, left to lie on the ground in despair, waiting for death to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The non-stop migration day and night left this group of already frail slaves without the strength to even wail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deathly silence continued to spread throughout the entire team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that they could die at any moment, but they were powerless to resist everything that was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the true leaders of this force were the legion specifically serving the gods of the Guifang State—the Guirong Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of the Guirong Clan numbered no more than eight hundred, yet they were the true army forged by the Guifang State with the strength of the entire nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who could join the Guirong Clan was a collateral descendant of the Guifang State's nobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had received professional martial arts training since childhood, and each possessed the strength to wrestle a tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they were about ten years old, these noble descendants without inheritance rights would join the priests' training, following the contemporary High Priest to learn various sacrificial rituals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about five years of training, the outstanding children among them would become priest candidates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those who were eliminated would become members of the Guirong Clan, conquering those who were insubordinate for the gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after the grand \"living sacrifice\" that began three years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guirong Clan had been campaigning in all directions, sweeping through all the mountain folk villages around the Guifang State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, living sacrifices required a large number of human offerings, and it also served to wipe out those mountain folk who were not very obedient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This resulted in the Guirong Clan escorting ten times their own number in slaves every time they returned to the Guifang State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their deterrent power had long since spread throughout these hundred mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mu Zheng, are we to continue moving forward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riding a black exotic beast, a handsome youth arrived at the very front of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to escort this massive number of slaves, the eight hundred members of the Guirong Clan were distributed almost in every corner of the team, relying entirely on specialized scouts to convey orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this handsome youth was the leader of the scout troops, as well as Mu Zheng's confidant and deputy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Youzhong, when there are no outsiders, you can call me by my name directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Zheng glanced at Youzhong sideways, his voice sounding somewhat low as he said this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Zheng was the leader of the Guirong Clan and also the strongest among the group of children who had stood out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not be fooled by the fact that his age was not much greater than Youzhong's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in personal strength or military capability, Mu Zheng was absolutely in the first tier of the Guifang State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Ran.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation in his calm voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Youzhong acted as if he were simply following the order of Mu Zheng Ran, which made the other party feel quite helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the rule of the Guirong Clan, or rather, the Guifang State—the orders of the superior were absolute to the subordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, call me whatever you wish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing softly, Mu Zheng did not continue to correct Youzhong's address, but instead issued an order directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Continue forward; we still have one final looting to perform.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The target this time is that village named 'Gaocun Town,' which is also the last threat to the Guifang State in this region.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monthly Ticket\u002FRecommendation Ticket\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of
