Chapter 48 Slave Market

  The city was very large, and Xiaoliu Xingchen strolled for several hours but only saw a little bit of it. Perhaps everyone had seen that young man escape, because during their stroll afterwards, they didn't see the cavalry's figures anywhere.

  Around three o'clock in the afternoon, they saw a place that made them very angry - the slave market! The gate of the slave market was decorated very well and it was the largest gate on that street. On both sides of the gate stood two burly men with a strength level of 5 dan, looking ferocious and at least 2 meters tall.

  5th rank is already the top among intermediate warriors, yet they are used as gatekeepers here, which makes Little Liuxing and Little Chun Tian curious. So they went in, and the two gatekeepers didn't stop them either. Here, many wealthy masters would occasionally bring their children to buy slaves, so they were not surprised.

  As soon as the two of them entered, their first impression was that it was really big. There was a corridor about 3 meters wide and over 20 meters long. At the other end of the corridor, there was another door with two guards at level 5.

  Because the two doors were slightly ajar, Xiaoliu Xing couldn't see inside. Not counting the area inside, this corridor alone was over 60 square meters. Xiaoliu Xing had visited many shops before, and most of them were around 30-40 square meters. Their corridor alone was over 60 square meters, which showed how luxurious it was. Apart from the initial feeling, the second feeling was anger.

  On both sides of the spacious corridor, there were small houses made of iron bars, like prison cells. Those iron houses held many different people, including humans and beastmen, categorized by type. Some rooms held robust middle-aged men, some held robust male beastmen, some held middle-aged women, and even some held children, both human and beastman.

  No matter whether they were human or beastmen, their clothes were all tattered and worn out. The men generally only wore a single loincloth-like garment, while the women's clothes barely covered their bodies. Fortunately, it was summer now, and the weather was still quite warm; otherwise, with so little clothing, they would have definitely frozen to death. Apart from this, Xiaoliu also discovered that among those locked in cages, some people had 4th or 5th-level strength, but their energy was all bound by a strange energy restraint, completely unable to be unleashed.

  The people in the cage, except for a small part of whose eyes were clear and full of anger and hatred, had only one kind of dullness and helplessness in their eyes. Those people sat on the ground without any vitality, numbly looking at the outside of the cage.

  In the cage, Xiaoliu also saw a woman holding a several-month-old baby. Due to malnutrition, the child was very thin, with limbs like twigs. This little treasure, with his innocent and pure eyes, looked at the world around him, he was the only one in this area with normal eyes!

  Outside those cages, in the spacious corridor, many people dressed in luxury were walking back and forth, observing the people inside the cages. Some were deep in thought, while others whispered to their companions beside them, pointing at the people inside the cages and expressing their own opinions.

  In the corridors of Shanghai, there were over a dozen fully armed figures walking around in the middle of the corridor, maintaining order inside while also intimidating those in the cages. Every time someone showed interest in the people inside the cages, they would go over with their partners to open the cage door, and then the warrior would take one person out. The lowest among them were third-level warriors, but Xiao Liang saw that there was even a sixth-level white silver warrior.

  Against ordinary people, a third-level warrior is enough! Most of those people did not resist, and after being pointed out, they walked out with the warrior in a daze, without any expression. Those who were not pointed out also stood there in a daze, watching that person leave quietly, and then continued to stay inside motionless. Occasionally, there were some who resisted, but they were beaten by those warriors on the spot until they spat blood and couldn't move. Xiaohuixing and Xiaochuntian stood here for a while and saw several people who resisted being beaten until they spat blood and couldn't move, lying on the ground. The people around them wanted to help but couldn't, and could only cast sympathetic glances at him, and after those warriors left, they simply bandaged him up.

  Those outside watched the warriors brutally beating those whose powers were sealed or who were originally ordinary people with no power, as if they were watching a spectacle. Only a small number of kind-hearted people shouted at the warriors, looking at their anxious expressions, and the little meteor was certain that they were stopping the warriors. Whether it was those who watched the excitement or those who were kind-hearted, they did not show any surprise at the warriors beating the resisters, which meant that such events often occurred here. So they didn't feel strange.

  "Brother, they're so pitiful. Let's save them!" Little Spring Heaven said with tears streaming down her face. Seeing those people in such a miserable state, the pure-hearted girl couldn't help but cry out loud. Watching the soldiers beat up the rebels, she kept saying "Bad guys, bad guys", and if not for Little Flowing Star stopping her, she would have definitely thrown out her Three Flavors True Fire again, burning them to ashes. For those rebels who fell to the ground with painful expressions, she also wanted to send some true yuan over to heal them from afar, but was stopped by Little Flowing Star once more. It's not the right time to draw attention yet.

  Little meteor gently wiped away her tears and said, "Chun'er, don't worry, we will rescue them, but not now, let's come back tonight. Even if we rescue them now, they can't escape, right? At night, everyone is asleep, and there are fewer people outside.

  "That way, after we save them, they can run a bit better too. And now, we need to take a good look around here and get familiar with the situation before coming back tonight." Upon hearing Little Flowstar's words, Little Spring immediately stopped sniffling and nodded repeatedly with a smile: "Yeah, I want to kill those bad people too, they're too evil! Brother, do you think that's okay?"

  Xiaochun Tian's words made Xiaoliuxing dizzy for a while, now Xiaoliuxing is a bit suspicious that he might be wrong. Xiaochun Tian now wants to kill anyone she thinks is a bad person. Of course, Xiaoliuxing didn't say anything because he also feels that these people don't deserve to live in this world.

  Maybe it was seeing Xiaoliuxing and Xiaochuntian staying at the door, constantly looking around in both directions, but not walking inside. One of the guys here thought that these two little kids were timid and didn't dare to walk inside, so he took the initiative to walk towards them. In the past, there have been several similar situations where a few little kids, because it was their first time coming to this kind of place alone, had small courage and didn't dare to take the initiative to walk inside.

  "Sir, miss, do you need my help with anything? Do you need any kind of servant, I can introduce some to you?" The fellow came before Little Stream and Little Spring, squatted on the ground, showed what he thought was his most amiable smile, and spoke in a very gentle tone. If he knew that Little Stream couldn't understand him at all now, and Little Spring had already listed him as a bad guy who would be eliminated tonight, I wonder if he would go crazy.

  Not being fooled by the hypocritical performance of that group, Xiao Liuxing expressionlessly pointed to the door at the end of the corridor, which was slightly ajar. He had already seen everything here, so he thought about going inside to take a look. Although he could use his divine sense to see all the situations here, it was just seeing and not hearing any sounds. If possible, Xiao Liuxing still didn't like using his divine sense.

  He didn't expect that his "excellent performance" would only get a silent gesture from this cool kid, and the guy's expression was slightly stunned. The customer is God, and he, an ordinary guy, didn't dare to complain about these rich or noble young masters and misses, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "You want to go inside? Come on, I'll take you there." After that, he didn't look at Xiaoliu Xing's expression and stood up to walk inside.

  Inside, the situation is much better than outside. The rooms are larger, with seating areas for people to rest, and there are fewer people in each cage. Typically, a cage has only 3 or 4 people, and some have just one person. The people here are generally beautiful young women, pretty beast tribe girls, or men with a bit of flair. Their eyes are all very calm, not like the numbness outside.

  People who see this place, Xiaoliuxing only feel that saving them has some meaning. Xiaoliuxing thinks that the people outside should be able to escape with the help of these people. In fact, Xiaoliuxing's Hunyuan Golden Tower can completely hold those people inside, but Xiaoliuxing doesn't want to expose this ability of his, because it also belongs to his own strength. And never expose your full strength in front of others at any time. This is what his grandfather taught him!

  "Brother, that old man is almost done for, let's save him first!" Little Spring pointed to a cage inside, where an old man in his 80s with deep wrinkles on his face was wearing a gray warrior uniform. He was special, one of the few people here who had a cage all to himself.

  What's even more peculiar is that Little Meteor not only discovered a very powerful energy being tied up inside his body, but also had his hand and foot tendons severed by someone! At this point, even if the seal on his body's energy was lifted, he would still be a useless person. It's too ruthless, who knows what kind of person he offended.

  Looking at the intensity of the energy on his body, it's almost the same as Xia Chun Tian's when he just entered the Yuan Ying period. If the Jin Dan period is considered sacred, then this person must be at least a Sacred-level peak. Because Xiao Liu Xing has never seen a human Sacred-level strongman before, he doesn't know their strength, so it's hard to categorize them. Now, the strongest ones Xiao Liu Xing has seen are only Xia Bai and Xia Hui, but due to the language barrier, he also doesn't know what level they're at. With such strength, yet ending up in such a miserable state, there must be a big story behind it.

  In a slave market, you can meet such a strong person. Xiao Liuxing dares to confirm that the strong among humans will not exceed 10, just like Lao Ma Tou said! "Don't worry about having no opponents from now on" thought Xiao Liuxing in his heart.

  He is now curled up on the ground, constantly trembling, his expression very painful, but he didn't make a sound. He was indeed once a strong man, with the dignity of a strong man! Xiaoliu Xing through divine sense checked him out, and found that the old man's body had many internal injuries, none of his five organs were good, especially his liver, which had a hole as big as an orange!

  If it weren't for the sealed energy within him, he would have died hundreds of times. Apart from this, he was also poisoned by a chronic toxin, and his suffering now mainly comes from it. The poison is constantly destroying his bodily organs, while also invading his brain, and has already occupied 99% of his brain. If Xia Chun Tian doesn't continue to treat him, he won't make it till tomorrow morning!

  Look at the speed of that toxic spread, the poison must have harmed his body to such an extent, it must have been latent in his body for over 40 years! This also means he has endured this pain for over 40 years! No wonder people here see him like this and have no reaction.
