Liang Zhu City was the capital of Yu Dynasty, the center of all Yu Clan nobles' daily activities.
This city had the most luxurious clubs, the most magnificent theaters, the most popular arenas, and naturally, the largest slave auction houses. Right on the west side of Liang Zhu City, by an enormous lake, stood numerous heavily guarded fortresses. Every single one of those fortresses was an enormous slave camp.
These fortresses were not very large in scale, and the largest one was only about two miles in length and width.
Everyone who knew about these forts clearly knew that under the ground of these forts was a giant space, and countless slaves were kept in countless cells. These slaves would be 'trained' for different lengths of time in these underground prisons according to how unruly they were. All kinds of tortures would gradually wear away their vitality. When they learned how to bend their knees and beg for survival, they would be sent to the auction houses.
As for those tough men with iron bones, who couldn't even be forced to beg for survival under all kinds of tortures, they would be sent to the arenas in Liang Zhu City to entertain Yu Clan nobles with bloody fights.
In short, once one stepped into these dark fortresses that exuded a strong smell of blood, one would either become a qualified slave and walk out of it on his knees, or become a gladiator who walked into the arena with his head held high and chest puffed out. After countless fierce battles, he would become a cold corpse.
Yu Mu and Feng Xing looked at a fort that was getting closer and closer, then gave the order in low voices.
Mixed in the crowd, Wuzhi Qi, who had transformed into a middle-aged man in a black robe, narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark fort in the front as well. His eyes sparkled with a fierce light as he said, "So much hatred. Hehe, how many people have died in here? What a shame, I'm not a lowly spirit creature, and the hatred of dead people is useless to me. Otherwise, I could cultivate myself in here for three to five years, hehe! "
Wuzhi Qi excitedly looked around. This was Liang Zhu City, the center of Liang Zhu City. Looking from a distance away, behind a beautiful forest, Wuzhi Qi saw the tall eaves of a large theater. Wuzhi Qi's ears trembled slightly. He could even hear the cheers and music coming from the theater.
"Interesting, really interesting. These non-humankind beings have been living a comfortable life. Heh, heh, beating, smashing, robbing, burning, turning this place into rubble, I like this kind of work. Hmph, Marquis Yao Ji Hao, you're such a loyal friend. As long as you finish this job, you'll let bygones be bygones, won't you? "
Wuzhi Qi excitedly licked his own lips and said, "Good, good, good, I like this job! As long as I defeat these non-humankind beings in Liang Zhu City, I, Wuzhi Qi, will be free. From then on, I will be free! "
A loud horn sounded from the wall of the fortress in front of them. A gust of wind blew, and a bright red flag made of brocade with golden edges on the flagpole suddenly unfurled. The pattern in the middle of the flag was a pile of gold bricks stacked together!
This fort belonged to the Glowing Gold Chamber of Commerce, an affiliated chamber of commerce of the Red Sun Piji Family. Among the countless non-humankind chambers of commerce, it was one of the most powerful. As a family in power, the Piji Family surely disdained to manage the chamber of commerce themselves. Therefore, the Glowing Gold Chamber of Commerce was jointly controlled by the three affiliated families of the Piji Family.
A four-horned white deer rushed up. Mounted on the deer, a Yu Clan man raised his head and yelled, "Oi, open the gate! Damn it, we've made a great harvest this time. Haha, look at the back, so many high-quality goods. Open the gate now and throw these bloody things into the dungeon. I haven't tasted a drop of wine for days. "
Feng Xing and Yu Mu narrowed their eyes simultaneously. In the troop, a few scrawny Maguspriests locked their fingers together in their sleeves, preparing to cast spells at any time. The Yu Clan man who had been yelling at the gate was a member of the Chi Family, one of the three affiliated families of the Piji Family. His name was Chi Li, and he was the leader of this slave-hunting troop from the Glowing Gold Chamber of Commerce. He was also one of Ji Hao's captives outside Yao Mountain City.
At the moment, Chi Li's body was filled with at least a hundred and twenty kinds of the evilest magic curses. If he dared to make any strange move, he would immediately turn into a strand of ash. His soul would perish, and not even a trace of him would be left.
Chi Li controlled Chi Li's life and death with magic curses, and promised him immeasurable wealth. He didn't have the noble consciousness of 'sacrificing himself for justice'. Chi Li had been behaving well all the way, and he had completely regarded himself as Ji Hao's slave. She could only hope that at this last moment, he would not do something unwise and stupid.
The heavy gate slowly rose, from which, about ten Jia Clan warriors and about a hundred dark-kind slave warriors walked out in a hurry.
"Lord Chi Li, how come you have so many slaves?" The faces of those Jia Clan warriors were filled with shock. The slave-hunting troop from the Glowing Gold Chamber of Commerce was strong, but Chi Li's troop was no more than ten-thousand.
According to the best record, a slave-hunting troop with over ten-thousand warriors could capture thirty to fifty thousand human slaves, which would already be a great harvest. Besides, not too many high-grade warriors could be among these human slaves. Otherwise, the slave-hunting troop wouldn't be able to control them.
But judging by the enormous troop behind Chi Li, the number of human slaves was at least a hundred thousand, and all of them were extremely strong. Many of them were Magus Kings. Chi Li's slave-hunting troop couldn't possibly have such a harvest.
"This time, we played a big one." Chi Li proudly raised his chin and said, "Over a thousand slave-hunting troops from the Glowing Gold Chamber of Commerce joined hands and raided the territory of a human marquis. We broke his city. These people belong to some marquis … We have a few troops behind us, and the families of these people are in the troops behind us. "
Waving his hand, Chi Li continued loudly, "Send someone to summon the family leader and elders. Send these people to the dungeon as soon as possible. Damn it, if their families weren't under our control, these people wouldn't look so obedient."
Taking a deep breath, Chi Li seriously looked at those Jia Clan warriors and said, "Go summon the family leader and elders now. I think people from the other families behind the Glowing Gold Chamber of Commerce will arrive soon. This time, we've made a great harvest, very great. How to distribute the trophies is still a big problem. "
The few Jia Clan warriors nodded delightfully while grinning from ear to ear. Following their growls, another group of non-humankind slaves walked out of the fort, wielded their long spears, and drove Feng Xing, Yu Mu and the others into the fort slowly.
The troop of human warriors slowly walked into the fort. In the center of the fort, a giant tunnel leading straight to the underground slowly opened. A few square tables were placed beside the tunnel, and a few Xiu Clan elderly men were sitting behind those tables, with account books and writing brushes placed in front of them. They had been smilingly looking at the 'slaves' walking in.
"All good stuff. Look at their strong bodies, haha, truly good stuff!" A Xiu Clan elderly man laughed out loud.
"Eh? Wait? Why aren't they marked with slave marks? Without slave marks, why aren't they marked with slave chains? " Another Xiu Clan elderly man found something wrong. He abruptly stood up and shouted, "Chi Li, you're getting more and more careless!"
