*************************************************

The carriage slowly passed through many streets, picking up a few more children before it reached the wealthy side of the city. Han Cai wondered what the old man\'s mission was and why he was involved in this kidnapping of innocent children.

The carriage rattled along the streets for hours, moving past various city districts, both affluent and impoverished. Eventually, it came to a stop in front of a grand mansion. The gates of the mansion slowly creaked open, and the carriage pulled through, circling around to the back of the building before coming to a stop.

The mansion was situated on a vast plot of land, surrounded by a high wall that looked like it was made of stone. The wall was about twelve feet high and had large, ornate gates that were wide open. Beyond the wall was a sprawling garden, filled with lush greenery, and colorful flowers. The garden had several winding pathways that led to different areas of the estate.

The mansion itself was a grand sight, with its majestic architecture, towering columns, and intricate carvings. The building was made of white marble, which glistened in the sunlight. The roof was tiled with dark slate, and several chimneys rose up from it. Large windows with ornate frames dotted the walls, allowing natural light to flood into the rooms.

The mansion had a large courtyard, which was paved with smooth stones. In the centre of the courtyard was a sparkling fountain, which shot water high up into the air, before cascading down into a large basin. The basin was filled with colourful fish, which swam around lazily.

The entrance to the mansion was through a large, wooden door, which had been intricately carved with various designs.

The gate opened, and the carriage moved around the mansion before stopping behind it. The children were taken out and brought inside the mansion through the back door. The strong men carried them to the cellar, which was damp, dark, and dirty. The walls were made of grey, rough stones, and there were rats scurrying around the floor.

For hours, the kids were trapped in the dark cellar, unable to see or hear anything beyond the dank walls. Finally, the cellar door creaked open, and a group of strong men carrying a large bucket filled with murky liquid walked in.

Han Cai scanned the liquid and realized it was some sort of sleeping solution. The strong men used a ladle to make every child drink it after removing their gags. However, when they gave it to Han Cai, his celestial Qi purified the liquid before it even reached his stomach. The other children drank the liquid and were knocked out cold.

Han Cai was the only one left awake, and he noticed the old man was outside the cellar, hiding in the dark corner and observing everything quietly. After some time, several women entered the cellar carrying a basket filled with colorful dresses. They untied the children\'s hands and legs, removed their tattered poor clothes, and dressed them in the dresses they had brought. Han Cai was also dressed in a colorful dress by the women.

After the women left, the old man slowly came to the cellar, opened the door, and gestured for Han Cai to follow him. Han Cai nodded and took off his binds and gags, and followed the old man. Once they got out of the cellar, the old man put his hand on Han Cai\'s shoulder, and they both disappeared. They reappeared in the same dark corner outside the cellar, and the old man\'s Qi covered Han Cai, making him assimilate into the darkness. If anyone tried to look in the corner, they would not be able to see Han Cai or the old man.

Han Cai and the old man continued to wait in the dark corner as they watched. Soon some guards of the mansion came to the cellar, and they carried the children out of the cellar one by one and took them to a hall. Old Man followed the guards taking Han Cai with him.

When they reached close to the hall.

The old man stopped. He kept a safe distance from the hall and hid in a corner.

The two of them remained there for hours, waiting patiently as the night grew darker. As it got late into the night, they heard noises coming from the hall. First, it was the sound of men and women laughing and talking, and then, after a few hours, the noises of children could be heard.

The children who had been knocked out cold were now waking up and crying, not knowing what was happening to them. Later, they heard the sound of one child crying loudly in pain, but then the child went quiet. After that, one by one, the remaining children yelped, and then their voices went quiet as well.

The old man did not move, and neither did he let Han Cai move. They quietly waited, listening to everything that was happening in the hall. Han Cai was feeling depressed. Should he go save the children? Why was the old man not moving?

He knew he was a scoundrel, but what was going on here was downright pure evil—kidnapping and hurting children. This was beyond messed up.

Suddenly, the old man asked Han Cai to wait where he was and disappeared. Han Cai was left alone in the dark corner, unsure of what was going on.

After the old man disappeared, Han Cai waited for what felt like an eternity before he heard the noise again. The men and women in the hall were yelling and crying loudly. The noise persisted for a while, and Han Cai could hear the guards\' footsteps running towards the hall, followed by the sound of fighting. The people in the hall continued to cry and curse, and Han Cai waited patiently for the noise to quiet down.

Finally, after what seemed like a long time, everything went silent. Han Cai saw the backdoor of the hall open, and the old man signaled that it was safe to come out now. Han Cai followed the old man into the hall and saw a bloody mess. There were dead bodies of men and women everywhere, including many guards. In the center of the hall was a big dining table, and all the lifeless bodies of the abducted children lay on it.

As Han Cai walked near the table, he noticed the lifeless bodies of the children who played with him with during the day. Their necks were slit precisely, but what disturbed Han Cai most was that their eye sockets were empty. Someone had scooped out their eyes.

At the end of the dining table, there was a man wearing a white robe sitting at the main seat. In front of him was a plate on which many eyeballs were placed. The man was drugged. He had half of his eyes open as if he was trying to make sense of what was going on, but he could not apprehend what was going on.

Seeing This traumatized Han Cai beyond comprehension. He felt like vomiting. Han Cai was fuming.
