Bright Azure Sect, Two Years After Becoming a Menial.
Within several thousand li of Willow River Village, the Bright Azure Sect was the most powerful local cultivation force in Immortal Origin Land. The highest-ranking cultivator in the sect was its Sect Master, Shen Cang, who had reached the Spirit 통 Realm.

"Two hundred eighty-five, two hundred ninety..."
The somewhat older Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, clearly the leader, slowly paced through the crowd as he counted the slaves.
"Three hundred in total. Not one missing."
