Stele City
This was a large city made of stone. The city walls were also made of the same ancient gray stones in the wilderness.
Once inside the city, one could see a huge market.
They weren't selling utensils, food, dragon food, or antiques. Instead, they were selling people tied up in crude shackles.
These people were all slaves.
Or they were captured from some uncivilized tribes.
They were either from a defeated country or a group of traitors.
"Take a look. The women captured from Fox God Mountain are wild and coquettish. Buy them and I guarantee you the pleasure of training them. One thousand gold!"
A man in a private army uniform said loudly. He was holding a sturdy leather rope in his hand. On the other end of the rope was a woman with pointy ears.
The woman's skin was slightly tanned, but it couldn't hide her natural charm. Her pair of long and narrow eyes and sharp chin did indeed have a different kind of charm and charm.
"Captives from Li Chuan. They were transported here from thousands of miles away. This is a noble. Servants, clansmen, and a young lady. Only one hundred thousand gold!"
There was a huge iron cage, and a group of people in ragged clothes were squatting inside.
There were young men, delicate women, and a few old women. Their expressions were dull, and their eyes were dull. It was as if they were walking corpses.
"Her Highness!"
Suddenly, a young man in the cage opened his eyes wide. His pupils were shining.
He grabbed the iron cage tightly and shouted excitedly at a woman on the street.
"Ling Tu, are you out of your mind?" A general in tattered battle armor asked from the side.
"General, look. Isn't that Her Highness Li Yunzi?" the young man called Ling Tu said as he pointed at a woman sitting on the back of a triceratops.
The general grabbed the bars of the iron cage and stood up slowly.
He looked over. The woman's appearance was indeed outstanding. She was still as beautiful as the moon in this chaotic crowd.
"It's really her!" General Ling Xun opened his eyes wide.
"Zulong City State has already established a country and is part of the Polar Court Continent. She is now the ruler of the Polar Court Continent," Ling Tu said.
On the way here, the Ling family had heard a lot of news.
The Ancestral Dragon city-state had already been established. Li Yunzi had conquered the kingdom of Rui all by herself. The four city-states under her jurisdiction had become the four untouched lands of Li Chuan, but the other city-states and lands were not so lucky.
For example, the Firmament City-State …
Their cities were trampled, and their families were slaughtered. Even the Ling family was reduced to slaves, and they were transported to the Extreme Court Continent like livestock.
After experiencing such a huge change, the Ling Family of Firmament City was filled with regret.
Why did he stop Li Yunzi from establishing the country back then?
If Li Yunzi had unified all of Li Chuan, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
Their backbone, Ling Luotian, had died miserably. The superior warriors of the family had been slaughtered. Even his sisters, who had never stepped out of the house, had been turned into playthings by some pirates. Thinking of this, Ling Tu's dry eyes became wet and red again.
"General, let's beg her."
"How can we do that, we are at least …" General Ling Xun wanted to say that they were the Ling Family of Firmament City, but when he looked at the cage, and then at his clansmen who were suffering together with him, waiting to be sold like livestock, he choked on his words.
Ling Xun sighed. He knew very well that they were nothing now.
They only wanted to live.
They only wanted to give these people a way to live, and not become slaves without dignity.
"Your Highness, save us!"
"Your Highness, save us!"
…
As the group walked past, Zhu Minglang suddenly heard someone call her "Your Highness."
Li Yunzi should be called "Your Highness" by the people of Li Chuan. Many people outside of Zulong City State also called her "Your Highness".
Zhu Minglang looked over and saw a group of slaves in cages.
This was because one of the men was screaming very loudly. That man was being whipped by the slave master so hard that his skin cracked.
"Let's ask," Li Xinghua said softly.
Zhu Minglang walked forward and stopped the person waving the whip. He opened his mouth and asked, "These people, where did they come from?"
"The land of Li Chuan. Young Master, are you interested in buying it? For a hundred thousand gold, all the people in this family are yours. Rich and powerful families all need some quality slaves. These people are from the Ling Family of Firmament City State of Li Chuan. They are the local tyrants there. Not only are there young men with decent strength, but there are also well-educated young ladies. They are all intact!" the leader of the private army said.
When Zhu Minglang heard that it was the Ling Family of Firmament City, he lost interest in buying it.
He thought it was a family of some city-state that had accidentally been poisoned. As the current ruler of Li Chuan, there was no problem in saving his own people.
However, since they were his sworn enemies, Zhu Minglang didn't want to spend a hundred thousand gold.
He was a person with principles. Although he pitied the common people, his enemy wasn't the common people.
He turned around and walked back to the group. Zhu Minglang said to Li Xinghua, "The Ling Family of Firmament City. They are the people who forced Yunzi to become a concubine. Pretend you didn't see anything."
"I'll buy it." At this time, Nan Yu Suo, who was wearing a veil, walked over. She took out a purple gold pearl and handed it to the leader.
Zhu Minglang didn't even see when she walked over.
What made him exclaim wasn't that Nan Yu Suo bought these people, but that Nan Yu Suo was truly generous. A hundred thousand gold without batting an eye!
"Young Lady, you have good eyes. These are all high quality slaves. May I ask where you want to send them?" The leader of the private army saw the money and was full of smiles.
"Send them back to Li Chuan. Tell the Nan Family of Ancestral Dragon City State that these people will be slaves in the future."
"Ah?" The leader of the private army felt a headache. It wasn't easy for them to send these people from so far away. Now, they had to send them back. Although it was cheaper to send them back, it would take a long time.
"I'll give you an extra ten thousand gold. Send them to the place I told you. Tell the people there to write back that if a few died or something is missing, I'll flatten your slave camp," Nan Yu Suo said without holding back.
"No problem. Just add the transportation. Everything is negotiable. Our camp specializes in this business. There won't be any mistakes!" the leader of the private army said.
…
After paying the deposit, these slave traders were also under the supervision of the Extreme Court Dynasty. If they broke the contract, they would also be severely punished.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness. I'll be your slave in the next life!" Ling Tu quickly thanked her.
"No need for the next life. In this life, you'll be my slave in Ancestral Dragon City State," Nan Yu Suo said coldly.
Ancestral Dragon City State and Firmament City State had been in conflict for many years.
The Li Family and the Nan Family both hated them.
Instead of letting them be slaves to others, it would be better to let them be slaves in Ancestral Dragon City.
On one hand, they were venting their anger. On the other hand, they were kind. After all, they were the people of Li Chuan.
