"Heh!" The young man with the bronze mask sneered. He raised his hand, and a gleaming sword appeared in his hand all of a sudden. He then slashed down mercilessly!
Poof! An arm fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the smooth cut. The remaining member of the Magic Kingdom was in pain, and he retreated continuously. Finally, he accidentally bumped into the cage behind him.
"Pipa!"
A bolt of blue lightning suddenly shot out from the cage and struck his body, causing his entire body to tremble. A nauseating burnt smell emerged from his body.
"Don't let him die. Go!"
Immediately, a dozen or so guards from the Four Directions Financial Group opened the door to the cage and charged in with iron rods in hand. Four of them surrounded the Devil Kingdom survivor who had lost an arm, while the others didn't distinguish between right and wrong. They raised their iron rods and viciously beat the rest of the Devil Kingdom survivors.
"Ahhh —!"
Weak and painful howls were constantly heard. This was the most common method used by the Four Directions Business Group to control slaves. If one person made a mistake, everyone would be punished. On the one hand, it could deter all the slaves so that they wouldn't dare to resist easily. On the other hand, it could also drive a wedge between the slaves, making them divided and easier to control.
"Hang him up again and feed him the Five Dragon Pill. Make sure he doesn't die!"
The short and fat old man ordered quickly. Upon hearing his order, the people in the cage acted in an orderly manner. In almost the blink of an eye, the remaining member of the Magic Kingdom was rescued.
The cage was closed again. The short and fat old man wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and looked at the young man with the bronze mask with a smile on his face.
"Sir, this, this was an accident!" The short and fat old man said in a trembling voice.
"It's okay. You did well!" The young man with the bronze mask wasn't angry at all. Instead, he chuckled and said, "I was worried that you would be too ruthless and beat the remaining members of the Magic Kingdom until they were on the verge of death. If that's the case, then our gains won't make up for the losses!"
"But now it seems that you do things with a sense of propriety. Not bad. After this auction, I will report to the elders of the business group and promote your position. In the future, you can be in charge of a division!"
"Thank, thank you, Sir!" Hearing the words of the young man with the bronze mask, the short and fat old man's eyes were filled with ecstasy. Then, he was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly. He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Okay, get up!" The young man with the bronze mask said with a smile.
The short and fat old man's body trembled with excitement. He slowly climbed up from the ground with difficulty, and his fat face was full of excitement.
Suddenly, the short and fat old man waved his hand and said to everyone beside him, "Alright, all of you can leave first. I still have something to discuss with the Lord!"
"Hmm?" The young man with the bronze mask showed surprise in his eyes.
"Sir, let's talk in private!" The short and fat old man licked his lips and smiled.
"Okay!" The young man with the bronze mask nodded and then ordered, "Okay, all of you get out first!"
Suddenly, no one dared to hesitate and quickly walked out. Not long after, only the short and fat old man, the young man with the bronze mask, and the twelve remaining members of the Magic Kingdom were left.
"Sir, actually, the twelve members of the Magic Kingdom weren't the only ones we caught this time. There's another person!" The short and fat old man said in a low voice.
"There's another person?" The young man with the bronze mask suddenly showed a trace of surprise on his face. He said in surprise, "Why didn't I know?"
"This matter is too important. At present, only Elder Monkey and I know. The others who know are all dead!" The short and fat old man said in a low voice, "Sir, you're the third person to know!"
"Elder Monkey?" Hearing this name, the young man with the bronze mask suddenly narrowed his eyes. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Grand Elder Monkey wants this person for himself, but it's not convenient for him to personally escort him, so he can only let me know. Moreover, I know very well that once Grand Elder Monkey obtains this person, it will be the time of my death!" The short and fat old man's eyes flashed with a trace of cunning and ruthlessness. "But I don't want to die, and I can't resist Elder Monkey, so I can only find outside help!"
"Sir, you're very appreciative of me, so I decided to tell you this matter. Please save my life!"
"Elder Monkey is one of the elders of the merchant group. I'm just a chief steward. How can I go against Elder Monkey?" The young man with the bronze mask sneered.
"Sir, you're too modest. Who in the Four Directions Merchant Group doesn't know of your contributions, your ability, and your identity? Elder Monkey may be an elder, but do you really care? "The short and fat old man said with a smile.
"You're quite clear about the internal relationships of the Four Directions Merchant Group!" The young man with the bronze mask glanced at the short and fat old man and chuckled.
"This lowly one has no talent for cultivation in this life. My only talent is in recognizing people!" The short and fat old man smiled.
"Alright, bring out the thirteenth person. Let me see what's so important about this thirteenth person. What's so important about this person that Elder Monkey would make such a big fuss over? "The young man with the bronze mask ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The short and fat old man nodded, then quickly stepped forward. He raised his hand and lightly patted the cage. Suddenly, a mechanism slowly appeared at the feet of the twelve survivors of the Magic Kingdom. Then, without a sound, a human-shaped metal box that emitted a bone-chilling aura slowly stood up from the ground.
In this human-shaped metal box, there was a tall old man with his eyes closed. He stood there motionlessly, and from his disheveled hair, one could see that this tall old man's face was rather cold, especially his eyes. Even though they were closed, they seemed to give off a soul-stirring feeling.
"Who … is this person?" The young man with the bronze mask stared at the tall old man. His pupils constricted, then he spoke with force.
Obviously, he could tell that this tall old man was no ordinary person. His identity and origin were definitely not simple.
"In the beginning, we didn't know who he was. We all thought that he was just an ordinary survivor of the Magic Kingdom!" The short and fat old man swallowed his saliva, then said bitterly, "But as soon as we fought, we realized that something was wrong. His strength was simply terrifying!"
"The seventh, eighth, and ninth legions were annihilated in the blink of an eye. Even the three consecrators died on the spot!"
"Seeing that all of us were about to perish, and that the twelve survivors of the Magic Kingdom were about to be rescued by him, he suddenly vomited blood, fell to the ground, and lost all his combat power!"
"Only then could we capture him!"
"Oh?" Hearing the short and fat old man's narration, the young man with the bronze mask was suddenly moved.
The Four Directions Business Group also had its own armed forces. The seventh, eighth, and ninth legions were the elite forces of the Four Directions Business Group. When the three legions worked together, perhaps even a powerful Nirvana Tenth Cycle Cultivator would have to obediently submit to them.
But now, nearly ten thousand of them had been slaughtered by this person in front of them, including the three consecrators. Then … could he be a Level Eight True Martial Cultivator?
It seemed that this tall old man's identity and origin were much more powerful than they had imagined.
"By the way, please look at his blood!" The short and fat old man laughed, then patted the cage again. Below the human-shaped metal box, a bottle of blood shining with dazzling golden light appeared in front of the young man with the bronze mask.
"What pure Divine Gold Blood. Could it be …!" The young man with the bronze mask suddenly turned pale and said involuntarily.
"That's right. He is a pure remnant of the Magic Kingdom from three thousand years ago, a true old man of the Magic Kingdom!" The short and fat old man licked his lips again and said with a smile.
"A true old man of the Magic Kingdom, heh!" As if he had discovered his prey, the young man with the bronze mask's eyes suddenly burst with a terrifying light, and there was a trace of excitement in his tone.
"This is a peerless treasure. Whether you use it for yourself or auction it, sir, it's always …!" The short and fat old man said with a smile, but before he could finish his words, his voice suddenly stopped.
Because a knife had been stabbed into his neck, and the hand on the handle of the knife belonged to the young man with the bronze mask.
"Sir, you …!" The short and fat old man's eyes were full of shock, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth as he spoke with difficulty.
"I don't trust you!" The young man with the bronze mask didn't even look at him, and said indifferently, "You are Grand Elder Monkey's man. Even if you betrayed him, I wouldn't dare to use you!"
"Moreover, this secret is too important. Not a single word of it can be leaked!"
"Only the dead can keep a secret. You, being alive is too redundant!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man with the bronze mask pulled out the knife, and then with a swipe, the short and fat old man's head was immediately chopped off.
"Plop!"
The short and fat old man's headless body fell heavily to the ground, and fresh blood kept gushing out from his severed neck, quickly dying a large area of the ground red.
"Smack!"
The young man with the bronze mask stepped forward and stretched out his hand to slap the same spot where the short and fat old man had slapped the cage. Then, without a sound, the human-shaped metal box that emitted a bone-chilling aura fell down again and disappeared into the bottom of the cage.
After doing all this, he clapped his hands, and a group of people rushed in. They began to expressionlessly clean up the short and fat old man's body on the ground, and moved the cage.
"Heh!"
