Upon smelling the pungent odor, Lu Li's first reaction was to hold his breath. Only then did he remember that he had been poisoned by the Spirit-Sealing Powder and had not yet taken the antidote, so he could only endure it.

At the same time, he realized that the extremely pungent smell came from the scabra grass, which had no effect and was purely irritating.

Clearly, these people probably just wanted to wake them up.

Having figured this out, Lu Li didn't open his eyes immediately. Instead, he waited until many people around him had slowly gotten up before following the flow of people and opening his eyes.

Then, he unexpectedly met a pair of clear eyes. When the other person looked at him, they were first surprised, then understood, and finally looked away as if they had confirmed something.

This series of changes made Lu Li subconsciously wary of this person.

However, he didn't show it on his face, pretending not to have noticed anything, blending into the crowd and trying not to stand out.

Soon, as the unconscious people gradually woke up, the smarter ones began to look around.

Realizing that his body had no spiritual energy, he recalled what had happened before and knew that he had been tricked. Annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he became vigilant.

He first looked around at the people, then looked at the person standing outside the beast-drawn cart holding the broken leather grass. Seeing that the person was surrounded by spiritual energy, he wisely kept quiet.

Some of the less intelligent or short-tempered ones started yelling, and one of them, a muscular man with a thick beard, even swung his fist at the person at the door.

Unfortunately, he was currently under the influence of the Spirit-Sealing Powder, losing his spiritual power. In front of normal cultivators, he was like a paper tiger.

The other party glanced at him disdainfully, flicked his sleeve, and launched an attack. The bearded man was instantly sent flying, crashing into the back of the truck, then falling back to the ground, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

The people around him had already moved away the moment he made his move.

Therefore, he didn't hit anyone, and of course, no one helped him up.

At this point, everyone is struggling to survive and doesn't know the specifics of the situation, so they simply don't have the extra compassion to care about unimportant people.

In addition, the bearded man's fall caused the entire carriage to shake violently several times, and the remaining people who were still asleep were also awakened by the commotion.

Seeing that everyone was awake, the person standing outside the animal-drawn carriage put away the broken leather grass and said indifferently, "Get out of the carriage."

After saying that, he glanced disdainfully at the bearded man again before turning and leaving, seemingly unconcerned about the danger of exposing his back to these people.

After all, everyone here had been affected by the Spirit-Sealing Powder, and their spiritual power had been completely depleted. Anyone who dared to attack him was like an ant trying to shake a tree. He had seen many people more powerful than these people, so he wasn't afraid at all.

Such an arrogant attitude was naturally noticed by the people in the carriage. They exchanged glances, then tacitly lined up to get off the beast-drawn carriage without uttering a sound, not even the bearded man.

As soon as they got out of the car, they realized that they seemed to be on the dock of a deserted island.

Besides them, there were dozens of beast-drawn carriages around, and people were gradually emerging from them, both men and women, with men clearly outnumbering them.

Beside them were the other two beast-drawn carriages that had come with them from Mengjiang City. The puppet man, Shushu, moved over as soon as he saw Lu Li.

However, its movement wasn't too abrupt, because many people around it were doing the same thing.

Most of them were in twos and threes, but the man who had been staring at Lu Li earlier was alone. It was unclear whether he had been caught alone or had come out by himself.

Before they could think any further, three more people appeared on the deck. They were all cultivators at the Integration stage. As soon as they arrived, they immediately released their pressure without any hesitation.

In the past, they would have had some ability to fight back against a powerful being at the Fusion stage, but under these circumstances, everyone was like crispy chickens, instantly crushed by the oppressive force.

Some of them, whose endurance and physical condition were not good, vomited several mouthfuls of blood, as if blood didn't matter to them, and their bodies visibly weakened.

Those who had previously harbored a glimmer of hope and planned to find a chance to escape now felt a surge of panic.

However, even more panic was yet to come. After everyone was overwhelmed by the oppressive aura, but were unable to use their spiritual power due to the lack of energy, they were left with nothing to do.

The man who had been holding the broken leather grass rushed out with a large group of people.

They robbed each cultivator of their storage rings, storage bags, natal spiritual artifacts, and various spiritual items they wore, including but not limited to jade pendants, hairpins, and hair ornaments.

One of them, dressed in a merchandise-filled spirit robe, had even had his clothes stripped off, leaving him only with his undergarments.

This enraged the man so much that he was about to fight the group to the death, but he was held back by his companions, preventing him from actually rushing forward to his doom.

But another hothead wasn't so lucky.

The other party was probably a rogue cultivator. Seeing these people acting like robbers and trying to steal his only storage bag, he became furious and started punching them.

Then, the person who stole his storage bag stabbed him through the neck, slit his throat, and finally threw him into the sea to be eaten by the sea beasts that lingered around him, leaving no trace of his body.

This scene was truly shocking, and everyone present fell silent.

Those who still wanted to resist also tried to restrain their impulses, telling themselves that they must not lose their lives for these material possessions, they must not, they must!

He repeated this to himself three times before he finally managed to stay calm and not lose his temper when those people took his things.

Little did I know, this was just an appetizer.

After everyone had been looted, those people took out beast rings and spirit-locking rings and were about to put them on the people standing on the outermost circle.

This treatment was like that of animals, and the crowd could not tolerate it. A riot broke out immediately. Lu Li, who was mixed in with the crowd, pretended to be angry and joined in the attack.

Unfortunately, their attacks were completely ignored. After killing a few of the most troublemakers, the rest were all swept away by spiritual power.

Then, everyone who was still alive was forcibly taken away by those two things and driven off the ship by the demons wielding their spirit whips.

If anyone is unwilling to move or dawdles, the spirit whip will strike without hesitation.

Instantly, the entire island was filled with wails and sobs.
