"Damn it, just looking at him makes me want to explode. How does he have the nerve to live this long? If I were him, I would have found a well and ended it all."

"It's so disgusting it makes me want to vomit. I wish I could throw up all the Warcraft I ate last year to feel even a little bit better."

The four burly men made a series of comments about Lin Feng's appearance, completely disregarding the feelings of the person opposite them.

This made Lin Feng's already distorted face even more distorted.

He struggled to suppress his inner rage, clenching his fists and staring intently at the four of them.

*Snap*

The next moment, another whip lashed his face.

"What are you looking at, you ugly bastard? If you don't like it, I'll beat you to death today."

"Forget it, second brother. We finally found someone alive, don't let them kill him."

"Boss, you actually want this kind of stuff?"

"There's no other way; the construction of the Demon Breath Palace is on a tight schedule, and we desperately need a lot of laborers."

Let's take each one of them back to the Demon Realm to work as minions first.

Besides, look at his face, why not offer him to our Empress?

That's exactly what she likes; the uglier the man, the more interested she is.

After saying that, the leader flipped his hand and pulled Lin Feng to his side. Before Lin Feng could react, he threw him into the cage where slaves were imprisoned not far behind him.

"No, Master, save me!"

Lin Feng tried the same trick again, wanting Yu Qingzhu to take him away from here, as he didn't want to go to the Demon Realm to work as a laborer.

But this time, the Soul-Nourishing Ring did not react at all.

*Snap*

Another slap landed on Lin Feng's face.

A minor leader, radiating demonic energy, pointed at him and roared, "What are you yelling about? Shout again and I'll cut your tongue out!"

Damn, you're really disgusting. Even the monsters deep in the Demon Realm are more handsome than you. Ugh!

But you're lucky, kid. Our Empress has a thing for ugly men like you.

Seeing your face, which looks like it's been cursed by both heaven and man, you'll probably reward us with a few more spirit stones.

"I can't take it anymore, I need to go throw up for a while longer."

After saying that, the junior leader retched and strode away.

Lin Feng was squeezed into a cramped space filled with slaves, and could only watch helplessly as the prison cart started to move.

On the other side, the four burly men began to communicate again.

"If it weren't for the fall of a great emperor in the Central Region, which caused the barrier to tremble, we wouldn't have had the chance to come here to capture laborers to repair the palace."

"It's about time we left. We shouldn't let the people of the Dragon Han Celestial Dynasty discover our whereabouts."

Before her departure, Empress Moxi instructed her not to have any conflict with the Central Region Dragon Han Dynasty.

Even if we were to arrest people, we could only do so to unregistered wanderers and independent cultivators; we couldn't target sects or those with official Central Region residency.

Now, my Demon Abyss Holy City must simultaneously face pressure from both the Heavenly Palace Holy Dynasty and the Demon Breath Emperor.

Especially at this critical juncture, it's crucial not to offend the Han Dynasty.

"Then let's hurry up and leave. If the barrier closes and we can't get back, we'll be really doomed."

If anything unexpected happens, we should know the Empress's methods; being killed outright would be an easy task.

"Well, let's go back now, lest things get complicated."

Once the group made up their minds, they immediately escorted dozens of horse-drawn carriages towards the desolate mountainous region.

Lin Feng clung tightly to the cage, looking desperately into the air.

"Am I, Lin Feng, destined to spend my life like this?"

"No, I'm not resigned to this! I will never succumb to such a tragic fate!"

Silent tears streamed down her distorted face.
