Chu Chen's group sat on the back of the white tiger and slowly passed through the door of the giant hall. The surrounding people all looked over.
"A few more people came. An old man, two children, and a woman. They don't look like evil people. How did they get caught by the Nine Heavens? "
"Shh! Lower your voice. Don't let the people of the Nine Heavens hear our nonsense … "
At this moment, they saw Chu Chen's group riding the white tiger through the door of the hall. Another white tiger passed by them.
On the other white tiger, two young male and female cultivators wearing crystal shackles, black robes, and black hair, with a blood-red skull tattoo on their foreheads, were whispering to each other.
"The people who were caught here are not all of our kind. Hehe, after staying here for so long, do you still not understand what the Nine Heavens are?"
"That's true …"
Buzz!
Just as the two of them were whispering to each other, the shadow of a whip tore through the void. With a "pa" sound, it landed heavily on the black-robed man's face, instantly leaving a deep wound on his cheek.
His entire body flew out and heavily crashed into the gray wall of the hall. With a muffled groan, he fell to the ground and his consciousness seemed to have blurred.
The black-robed female cultivator's expression changed greatly, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only helplessly cover her mouth with fear in her eyes.
At this moment, a cold angry shout exploded in the air.
"The rules of the Nine Heavens are that no prisoners or laborers are allowed to talk privately! How dare you, don't you know the consequences of disobeying the heavenly rules? "
Chu Chen frowned. Calling his rules heavenly rules, what did the Nine Heavens think he was?
"Pa!"
A young cultivator in white from the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team held a dark red soft whip and whipped the black-robed woman with lightning speed, directly sending her flying off the white tiger.
With a long bloody wound on her back, she flew out of the hall door.
The cold-faced white-robed cultivator raised his hand and continued to whip her. The black-robed man at the side hurriedly pounced and used his body to protect her.
"Pu!"
This whip landed solidly on his shoulder, instantly turning his flesh into a bloody mess!
"Ah!"
The male cultivator who was hugging the black-clothed woman couldn't help but scream.
The cold-faced cultivator in white did not intend to stop there. He continued to whip the man and woman without rhyme or reason.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
They screamed again and again!
Lan Xuan was infuriated when he saw this. The edges of this dark red whip had countless thin and dense barbed blades. When it struck a person's body, it directly tore open a bloody wound.
After a few lashes, the man and woman were covered in cuts and bruises. They curled up together and didn't dare to say anything. Or rather, they couldn't make any sound.
When the labourers on the white tigers saw this scene, they all shut their mouths tightly, afraid that they would be caught in the crossfire and be caught in the crossfire.
"These whips … are so vicious!"
Chu Chen frowned. His Soul Power was extremely powerful, and he immediately sensed that the two people who were talking were both at the peak of the Spiritual River Tier.
Cultivators who had cultivated to this level had strong bodies, tough skin, and condensed flesh like black iron.
It was difficult to hurt them with ordinary swords and sabers, let alone soft weapons like whips.
However, when the dark red whip hit their bodies, the cultivators at the peak of the Spiritual River Tier, who had been tempered thousands of times, couldn't resist at all. Every whip left a deep bloody wound.
This kind of power was almost comparable to some vicious magic tools!
Who would have thought that the Ninth Heaven Formation Breaking Team would have such a thing?
When the surrounding labourers saw this scene, they all looked stern and didn't dare to whisper to each other anymore.
In fact, everyone knew that since they had been caught and brought to this place to work as labourers, they had to be honest to avoid some physical pain.
After Chu Chen and the others entered the hall, they found that they had entered a small square, but it was still nearly three thousand feet wide. Nearly a hundred white tigers carried the labourers to and fro in an orderly manner.
The whipping scene just now made Lan Xuan and Xuan Ji fall silent. This place was not so easy!
Chu Chen's guide was obviously used to these things, and his face was calm.
In the blink of an eye, they came to the center of the square, where most of the white-clothed cultivators from the Nine Heavens were stationed. There were also a large number of labourers standing at the side.
"This is the new batch of prisoners you brought?"
A tall young man walked over from the group of members of the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team.
He had an arrogant expression, and his face carried an arrogance of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
This person's white clothes had an ancient golden "Heng" character embroidered on the back. He seemed to have an extraordinary identity.
After glancing at Chu Chen and the others, he snorted lightly, and his eyes showed his displeasure. "Why are they either old men or women? They don't seem to have much strength. I'm afraid they'll die soon, right?"
"Senior Brother, you don't know. These people have good cultivations. Although their physical strength is not enough, they are definitely good at mining!"
The white-clothed man who brought Chu Chen and the others to the mining area smiled flatteringly.
"Since that's the case, then you, you, come with me!"
The elite member of the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team pointed at Lan Xuan and Xuan Ge. The two companions glanced at Chu Chen and gave him a look. Then, they quietly followed the man and left.
Chu Chen didn't expect that the old cultivator Xuan Ge and Lan Xuan would be the first to be picked. This way, they would be separated.
However, since they had come in, they could only go with the flow. They would scatter first, and when they left, they would take them with them.
After the Nine Heavens elite left, a few more white-clothed people walked over. They were also here to pick the labourers.
These people were all dressed in white, but there was nothing behind them. They were clearly different from the Nine Heavens elite from before.
About an hour later, a beautiful woman in white who looked to be in her thirties picked Shi Yuyan up again.
Chu Chen and Shi Yuyan exchanged a look with tacit understanding, and then watched her leave.
Even after all the people in charge of picking had finished picking, Chu Chen still hadn't found him.
Chu Chen was speechless. During the whole process, no one picked him and came to take him away!
However, Chu Chen knew the reason.
Although he was wearing crystal shackles, he could still sense a person's cultivation level.
Chu Chen hadn't reached the Spirit River Great Realm yet, so no one was willing to take away such a Spirit River Grass Bag.
Mining was a physical labor!
With such a low cultivation level, it meant that the degree of physical tempering was also very limited. In a state where his spiritual power was sealed, he probably wouldn't be able to dig the crystal vein at all.
It was no wonder that basically no one was willing to take Chu Chen away.
With a low cultivation level, he didn't expect to be discriminated against as a labourer. This was really a world where cultivation level determined everything.
When Chu Chen thought of this, he couldn't help but want to cry.
In the blink of an eye, it was dark. Crystal jades for illumination were placed on the square of the main hall.
And the selection of labourers was completely over.
