The Man’s Decree – Chapter 6310

"Yes..." Edmund lowered his voice. "Shadow Hall has been expanding the underground palace lately, and they need a huge number of hands. They don't dare touch people from the major powers, so they pick off wandering cultivators like us instead... Once they're taken to the Shade Abyss, very few ever make it back."

Jared fell silent for a moment. "Does Malachy Vane know about this?"

Edmund gave a bitter smile. "The Lord of Shadow Hall... Maybe he doesn't know. Maybe he does and just doesn't care. In Shadow Hall, his word is absolute. No one dares go against his orders. But he rarely concerns himself with things like this. Most of the time, it's the people under him acting on their own."

"What kind of person is Malachy Vane?" Jared asked.

Edmund took a second, then said, "The Lord of Shadow Hall... He isn't one of the demon clansmen by birth."
