My Whole Class Isekai'd to a Xianxia? Good Thing I Can Do Mind-reading

"It's okay," Feng Fan said. "Whether Luo Liqin is from the Bloodsucker Demon Sect or not doesn't matter. Our objective remains the same—gather as much evidence as possible and bring it to the Dao Seeking School."

The others nodded in agreement.

"They should be leaving in at most four days. Let's prepare to follow them," Xue Qiang suggested.

After a brief discussion, they finalized their plan. They would wait until the camp moved and then follow them directly into the Bloodsucker Demon Sect's territory.

To ensure they knew exactly when the troops left, Feng Fan placed several arrays around the camp, at least in the areas where he could plant them without being noticed.

Once they recorded the evidence they needed, they would leave immediately and head for the Dao Seeking School.

For the next three days, they remained in hiding, waiting for the royal troops to move. It was nighttime when another batch of prisoners arrived.

Likely to avoid drawing attention, they had come through the Death Plains, a place few dared to visit.

Similar to the first royal troop Feng Fan had encountered, the new group was also surrounded by an array as they moved, making them invisible to the usual cultivator. However, thanks to the detection arrays Feng Fan had placed around the initial camp, he was alerted to their presence.

The moment the first array signaled their arrival, Feng Fan quickly gathered his group, and they carefully followed behind, making sure to stay unnoticed.

"They should be moving out soon," Feng Fan said.

Just as expected, the troops and prisoners gathered together and departed without delay.

For the next few days, Feng Fan's group continued to trail the royal troops and prisoners. To their surprise, the number of captives kept increasing at an alarming rate.

Every few hours, more prisoners and soldiers would join the main group as they made their way toward the Bloodsucker Demon Sect's territory.

"This isn't even a secret operation anymore. There have to be more than a million prisoners by now! How long have they been planning this?!" Feng Fan muttered in disbelief.

"To gather this many people right under the Dao Seeking School's nose, even with them distracted by the war… this isn't something that could be done in just a few months," Su Xiaoli said.

"This is too risky. For the Emperor to go this far, these people must be extremely valuable to the Bloodsucker Demon Sect," Feng Fan said, his expression darkening. "The reward he's expecting must be just as great, or he wouldn't take such a gamble."

"Doesn't that make it even better?" Mao Shun said coldly. "The more important this is to him, the more satisfying it will be when we tear it apart!"@@novelbin@@

Feng Fan gave Mao Shun a faint smile. He knew how much Mao Shun despised the Mao Emperor—his own uncle.

Taking his time, Feng Fan continued recording the massive army's movements, truly impressed by their sheer numbers.

Just a few kilometers away from the Bloodsucker Demon Sect's territory, the army suddenly came to a halt.

Moments later, a man appeared at the front, accompanied by five stunningly beautiful women.

His striking resemblance to Mao Shun, combined with his overwhelming presence, made his identity clear; he was Mao Hu, the Mao Emperor.

Mao Shun's eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at the man leading the army. He clenched his fists, barely restraining himself from charging forward.

Of course, he knew he wasn't Mao Hu's match. The aura radiating from him made his strength clear; he was a Dao Seeking realm expert!

Mao Hu gazed at the vast army before him, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Everything is proceeding as planned. Soon, the Dao Seeking School will no longer be able to restrain me."

Luo Liqin, the First Empress, caressed Mao Hu's cheek with a smile. "Of course, my love. You deserve far more. You are a tiger among men."

Mao Hu didn't respond to her words. Instead, he turned to address the army.

"Your mission is almost complete. March forward!"

With that, he turned and slowly flew into the Bloodsucker Demon Sect's territory, the five beauties following close behind.

Feng Fan swallowed hard as he watched the scene unfold.

'This is spiraling out of control… This is much bigger than we expected.'

At first, they had only sought protection from the Dao Seeking School. But now, it seemed that whatever was happening here had the potential to change the course of the entire war.

The way the Bloodsucker Demon Sect ruled its territory was vastly different from the Dao Seeking School.

There were no vassals beneath them, everything was under their direct control. Anyone who dared to voice dissatisfaction faced severe punishment, which usually meant death.

As soon as Feng Fan stepped into the Bloodsucker Demon Sect's territory, he sensed a change in the very air. It wasn't the atmosphere or the ground itself, but something deeper… the Dao laws governing this place.

A sinister Dao law wrapped around him. Though it didn't try to harm his body, it felt as if pure evil had surrounded him.

'What kind of place is this? How can the Dao laws be twisted into such an abomination?' Feng Fan thought. 'This feels similar to the Evil Village in the Death Plains… I wonder if there's some connection between them.'

Feng Fan pushed these thoughts aside for now. Even if there was a connection, there was nothing he could do about it. All he could do was continue following the army.

The army moved quickly, faster than any normal human army could. But they weren't a normal army; they were made up entirely of cultivators. The prisoners were being forced to march at an impossible pace, unwilling but powerless to stop.

Soon, they came to a halt. In front of them stood a group of a thousand cultivators, all wearing black and red Taoist robes. The aura they emitted was strong and ominous.

Mao Hu stepped forward to greet the group of evil cultivators, and one of them, a man, moved closer to meet him.
