Lind was not disappointed in his hunt. He found at least 3 more groups waiting to ensnare him but they were far weaker with a similar artifact. Now that he had studied the first one, the others were easily disabled and quick defeats followed.
He also found 2 more thralls.
A mere 50 cultivators from the Shard Tier up to the Journeyman Tier had been able to bring Shadow Seal Cove to its knees which numbered in the thousands.
The majority of the hostages were natives but travelers had been taken not only in the city but also on the roads leading to it! They cut off any chance of word getting out!
After 3 days, he finally cleaned out the caverns and healed the wounded as best he could. So long as they were only Immortals, his skills were beyond sufficient but Divine Realm injuries could only be attempted with his Art of Defiance.
It was during such a healing that he had a shocking experience.
