Who goes there?
"Are you the guardians of the teleportation array chosen by the master?"
"What happened to Master?"
These people were dressed in spirit robes and looked fierce, but their aura was not weak.
They were all eighth-rank experts!
"Owner?"
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow. "Your master is the Grand Steward Hu Lie?"
"presumptuous!"
One of the men in black robes possessed the strongest aura; he was a ninth-level eighth-grade expert.
He snapped, "How dare you call your master by his name?"
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked coldly, "You dare to address the master by his name? Who exactly are you?"
"Shut up! I'm your new master!"
Guo Feng had long disliked this man in black robes, and as soon as he entered, the man started shouting incoherently.
As he spoke, he slapped him across the face with his backhand.
With a loud boom, he didn't even use the power of the Fire Emperor; he directly condensed an invisible giant hand.
With a slap, he shoved the guy deep into the jade plaza.
Only the head was left sticking out.
"ah?"
What's going on?
The man in black robes and his companions were all stunned.
One of them immediately leaped up and shouted, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Bang!
Before the man could finish speaking, Guo Feng slapped him so hard he was embedded in the square.
At that moment, a warning and a loud shout came from inside the cave.
Guo Feng waved his hand at Wang Shengzhi: "Take the leader with you, let's go in!"
"yes!"
Wang Shengzhi nodded hurriedly and lifted up the black-robed man who had been beaten so badly by Guo Feng that he couldn't move at all.
Soon, the two of them passed through the cave.
Guo Feng never expected that the cave was nothing more than a memorial archway.
Upon entering the cave, we went through a depth of more than ten meters before the view suddenly opened up.
Behind them lay a plain that was probably nearly a hundred kilometers in circumference.
It covers an area of approximately 30,000 square kilometers.
It's almost the size of a small province.
There are many buildings inside.
There were even many residents and city-states.
In the farthest distance, there is a magnificent complex of buildings, which should be the core of the cave dwelling.
"Is this a cave dwelling, where many ordinary people are kept?"
Guo Feng paused for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.
However, he was asking the person who had been captured by Wang Shengzhi.
The man didn't speak.
Guo Feng slapped him across the face. "Your master is dead. I am your new master. Do you expect me to remain loyal to your dead master?"
"ah……"
The man paused for a moment, then seemed to realize what was happening.
The cave owner was not related to him by blood.
The masters may change, but as long as he doesn't die, it really has nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, he quickly smiled and said, "To serve my master to the utmost is what we should do."
"However, I do only recognize the owner of the cave."
He quickly added, "Let me answer your question."
He glanced at Guo Feng's face furtively, then said, "This is the Jade Void Grotto, the cave dwelling of the ancient Jade Void Daoist. The Jade Void Daoist was a fifth-rank immortal."
However, he later died in a major war.
"This cave has changed hands countless times and has been destroyed many times over the endless years."
"Fortunately, the foundation of Daoist Yuxu's cave was excellent and it was not completely destroyed."
"The previous owner, Hu Lie, inherited the legacy of the previous seven owners."
"The city-states within the cave dwelling are primarily used to collect the power of faith, and the cave dwelling is responsible for their food."
He paused for a moment, "And some of us who cultivate and work in the cave are talented individuals selected from the city-states, responsible for helping our master operate the entire cave."
"So, all the people here are being kept in captivity?"
Guo Feng was somewhat surprised when he heard this.
The man quickly replied, "That's not quite right. Apart from having to go to each city-state for collective prayer every day, everyone can do whatever they like."
He paused for a moment, then said, "To put it another way, perhaps they are raised in captivity, but each person is also very free and content."
"That's true."
Guo Feng nodded.
In this world, some people like to lie down and relax, while others like to strive and struggle; these are not necessarily contradictory.
Some people like being kept in captivity.
Some people prefer complete autonomy.
This is quite normal.
He then asked, "So what is this power of faith used for?"
"Part of it is used to maintain the energy needed for the cave dwelling in the void, and part of it is added during alchemy and weapon crafting to increase the success rate and the rate of obtaining top-quality items."
The person continued answering.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, according to the master, a considerable amount of faith power is also required when breaking through to the Immortal Rank."
"The power of faith has so many uses."
Guo Feng was also somewhat surprised.
The man laughed and said, "There are many other uses that I am unaware of. According to my master, the power of faith has endless uses and is one of the most magical powers in the world."
"Um."
Guo Feng knew that the power of faith was inherently strong, so he asked again, "How many people were kept in the entire cave?"
More than 30 million people.
The man immediately replied, "We control the population; if the population were too large, we couldn't afford to support it."
How will you provide for them?
Guo Feng was somewhat curious.
The man said, "The three guardians of the teleportation array outside use teleportation jade slips to purchase medicinal herbs and food, which we then process into a basic type of pill called a edible pill. Each person takes one pill a month and can survive well."
