Squad after squad of expressionless young mortal men in coarse cloth clothing were herded off the Tower Boat. Numerous fierce-looking Cultivators holding whips shouted loudly, brutally ordering them into square formations.
The mortals said nothing, silently obeying the Cultivators' arrangements like the most docile lambs.
Although most of these Cultivators were only at the Qi Cultivation Stage, in the eyes of the unarmed mortals, they were nothing less than demons—beings who could decide their life or death with a single word.
The hull of the Tianzhou Skyboat was engraved with the Sect's insignia. The Cultivators maintaining order were all Sect disciples, and Elder Suti even recognized the Stewards and Incense Masters leading them.
Seeing that everything was in order after a quick look around, Elder Suti breathed a sigh of relief and began to speak with the Steward who approached him.
"...Steward Luo, is it another ten thousand people this time?"
