…
The Zhu Sect and the Sword Sect still had some say in the Extreme Court Dynasty.
On the morning of the second day, an army was dispatched from Long River City. They took over Monument City and began to investigate the matter in Monument City.
Sure enough, it wasn't just the slaves who were harmed. Some of the merchants who had migrated from afar were also affected. In the City Lord's Mansion, there were clearly mountains of missing cases, but the City Lord and the officials put them aside.
No one would believe that these people had no dealings with the Eyeless Cult.
In a short period of time, all the mercenary camps in Monument City were detained by the army and were subjected to strict interrogation. If there were any slaves with unknown origins, or if they were obviously plundered, then all the managers of the mercenary camps would be executed on the spot. There would be no leniency!
Those who did this kind of business were more or less involved in human trafficking. They wouldn't be able to survive the investigation.
It was just noon, but more than a hundred people had already been executed. Not to mention, there were also benefits involved …
There were about six thousand slaves in Monument City. These six thousand slaves were confiscated. Although they couldn't get rid of the mark of slavery, at least they wouldn't be killed because they couldn't be sold. There were still some powerful officials in the Empire, so the six thousand slaves would have their own homes.
However, the slave system was not completely destroyed. A year later, the entire Monolith City was still filled with people transported from all over the continent. Furthermore, many countries had very prominent slave trading cities. Six thousand people was really insignificant when compared to the millions and tens of millions of slaves.
…
After leaving Monument City, the group continued their journey.
Without the nightmare, Prophet Li Xinghua's complexion gradually recovered.
A while ago, Zhu Minglang saw her haggard and pale face every day, and the knot between her eyebrows that couldn't be resolved.
Fortunately, he could see her smile recently. It meant that she had gradually walked out of the shadow of the prophecy's backlash.
After witnessing Zhu Minglang, Bai Qinan, Wu Feng, and the others kill the Eyeless Evil Dragon, the Dragon Shepard couple couldn't help but admire them even more. Their words and actions were filled with respect for the strong.
Finally, they reached a place where they could fly. The couple told them that after taking off, they would completely leave the Imperial Capital and enter the territories of other countries.
The first country they passed was the Pei Country. This country already had airways. The couple was very familiar with the airways, so it wouldn't take long for them to pass through the Pei Country.
After the Pei Country, there would be dangerous mountains and dense forests. They could follow the country's path. If they knew the shortcut, they could cross it quickly.
With the strength of the group of Martial Monarchs and above, Dragon Mu and his wife had a lot of options. Even if they were to fly over some dangerous woods, the thousand-year-old beasts and demons would not dare to act recklessly when the Dragon God unleashed his might.
…
After a long journey, they entered the western region of the Extreme Court Continent..... The countries here were the most unique Extreme Court Continent..
The reason why they were said to be unique was not only because they were exotic, but also because each country had formed its own philosophy.
For example, the country they were about to reach.
This was a country where women were superior.
Men were inferior to women. Even the Mount Xingshan Sword Sect in this country was called Mount Jiangu. Even a male bird would be cut down if it accidentally flew into the forest, let alone a man.
Zhu Minglang had been here once.
Although he was in a hurry, his impression of this country couldn't be any deeper.
The Xu Country was a big country with more than a hundred cities and thousands of cities. They had a vast land and rich resources. They had a strict and orderly system, which made the surrounding countries ashamed.
…
After reaching the Xu Country, it would take four or five days before they could enter the Mount Xingshan Sword Sect. This was enough to prove how big the Xu Country was.
They didn't linger in the other cities of the Xu Country. Instead, they flew directly to the capital of the Xu Country.
They couldn't enter the Mount Xingshan Sword Sect casually. Even though they'd informed the elders and sect master of the sect beforehand, they still needed Bai Qinan, Wen Mengru, and the others to return to the sect in person and report before they could discuss.
Zhu Minglang wasn't in a hurry. He rested in the Xu Country first.
The Xu Country was also known as the Flower Country. Their state master was even known as the Flower God. The biggest feature of the capital was the flowers that could be seen everywhere. No matter where one went, one could smell the fragrance from the window sills of beautiful women. Many times, one would be intoxicated by it and couldn't even tell if it was the fragrance of beautiful women or the overflowing fragrance of flowers!
The capital was especially lively these days. It was as if a grand festival was being held. Colorful lights could be seen everywhere, and large bouquets of fresh roses could be seen everywhere. Since they entered the capital, they had been spread all over the city.
Fang Niannian's eyes shone with a different light. She liked this scene the most. It was much more stunning and beautiful than the lantern festival in Zulong City. Especially when the entire capital was decorated in such a beautiful and intoxicating manner …
"Are you holding a festival?" Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but ask.
"The flowers are blooming, but it's not a festival. It's just the time to recruit a son-in-law every year. The men from other countries are eager to have a try, so the capital is crowded and noisy," Wen Mengru said calmly.
It was not strange to see such a scene.
"Recruit a son-in-law?" Zhu Minglang raised his brows.
Even though he had been here once, he wasn't too familiar with the local customs.
"The Xu Country has always been like this. When the Princesses and Princesses reach the age of marriage, they will hold a national son-in-law selection. It's usually held in autumn, when the maple leaves are red. The dukes and marquises in their fiefs will follow suit. Gradually, the women among the people will be recruiting a son-in-law at this time, which is why it's happening now," Wen Mengru said.
"How are they recruiting a son-in-law?" Yun Zhonghe was intrigued.
The women of the country were recruiting a son-in-law when the maple leaves were red. How exciting would it be?
It was no wonder that the capital was overcrowded. All the heroes and geniuses from all over the world flocked here just to show off their elegance and marry a beauty in the Xu Country!
At this moment, Wu Feng whispered to Zhu Minglang, "Little junior brother, I've heard that this is how Zhu Tianguan got to know Sect Master Meng."
"Isn't it an arranged marriage?" Zhu Minglang was confused.
"They arranged it. I think it was your grandfather who appointed Sect Master Meng. Sect Master Meng asked Zhu Tianguan to participate in the Blooming, Withering, Son-In-Law Selection Festival and stand out," Wu Feng said.
"I see." Zhu Minglang was enlightened.
To think that there would be such a good story.
Zhu Minglang was not sure why their relationship broke down later.
The main reason was that he didn't dare to ask.
Anyway, after they parted ways, even Zhu Minglang had become an orphan.
Zhu Minglang even felt that Sect Master Meng, who didn't care about the secular world and only focused on the Sword Dao, had forgotten his name.
