After seeing Elder Liu nod, Huang Xiao finally understood.
So this Forced Labor Camp was under Yao Renwu's control. No wonder he could transfer Zheng Gu here.
To put it plainly, Zheng Gu was only the nominal overseer of this Forced Labor Camp. He was nothing more than Yao Renwu's puppet.
"With your current strength and status, you would soon learn these things even if I didn't tell you. In fact, if you had asked about them before, the Hall Master would have told you," Elder Liu said.
"How could I have thought of any of this back then? Who could have imagined those two would be locked up here?" Huang Xiao said.
Elder Liu smiled. "It's not too late to find out now. With your current status, you can learn all the secrets of the Heavenly Demon Hall. Just ask the Hall Master, and he should tell you everything. Perhaps you'll end up knowing more than we do."
"You must be joking, Elder Liu."
"I'm not joking. You, too, are the hope of our Heavenly Demon Hall," Elder Liu said.
"I'll do everything I can. If I fail, Pang Yi probably won't spare me anyway. I'll be doomed. Even for my own sake, I'll fight with my life on the line," Huang Xiao said with a smile. Of course, he knew Elder Liu was referring to the contest for the position of Hall Master.
As they spoke, the two walked some distance and saw the prisoners being held not far ahead.
Huang Xiao could see that these people barely looked human anymore. Even so, they kept working, with hardly any time to rest.
The offending disciples in this outer area all had their internal power sealed. As a result, they could not even kill themselves if they wanted to.
