"I understand."
Ouyang Zhen nodded and retreated to the side. He knew that this was not the right time to say anything more.
"Alright, you should cultivate properly during this period of time. Previously, I promised you that you would become a Sage within half a year. I didn't expect this to happen!"
"Of course, I naturally won't go back on my word. Even here, I can still help you become a Saint. As for that … it will depend on your own efforts!"
"Plop!"
Ouyang Zhen knelt on one knee and nodded heavily. "Thank you, Young Master. I will do my best to help you complete your task."
"Haha, alright!"
Lin Ray waved his hand casually at such a distant promise. "Relax your body. I will bring you to a place."
"Yes!"
Ouyang Zhen replied. His body relaxed completely. He did not resist at all. He had entered the System Space once. There, he felt that the space was abnormal. However, he could not pinpoint what was wrong.
Looking at Ouyang Zhen, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. His divine sense wrapped around Ouyang Zhen. With a thought, the two of them disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already in the System Space.
"Alright."
Lin Ray's voice rang in his ears. Ouyang Zhen slowly opened his eyes. What entered his eyes was the charming scenery of the past. There were mountains, rivers, and flowers in the world.
"Hmm?"
"That is …"
While Ouyang Zhen was carefully observing this space, a figure suddenly appeared on top of a mound not far in front of him, attracting his full attention.
"Your disciple, Ouyang Ting!"
"So, Young Master has arranged for her to cultivate here!" Looking at Ouyang Ting, Ouyang Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. He was still worried before. Now that he saw Ouyang Ting's figure, he was relieved.
"The rules here are very simple. Time is not proportional to the space outside. A hundred days, a year, or even a hundred years here might only pass a day, a dozen days, or a hundred days outside. It depends on one's taste."
"As for you, you should be able to increase the time ratio here to the highest. Cultivating here has spiritual energy, time, and medicinal pills. As long as you cultivate diligently, I believe it won't be long before you can break through the realm you have always dreamed of."
Plop!
Ouyang Zhen knelt down again. Comparing the time, he could imagine the benefits. As for alchemical pills, there was no need to even think about them. He knew that his Young Master was a Saint Grade alchemist.
"Young Master, thank you very much. But if it wasn't for you, I would still be the head of the Ouyang family that dominates Hai City. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have known that the world is so vast."
"It's you. It's you who opened my eyes. You won't let me be a frog at the bottom of the well. I will definitely …"
Seeing that Ou Yangzhen was about to speak again, Lin Ray covered his forehead and felt a headache coming on. He hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted, "Alright, alright. I say, Ou Yangzhen, can you not express your opinion every day?"
"Although the will of the Tendo and the Great Dao here is relatively weak, they still exist. You will easily attract their attention!"
After saying that, he rolled his eyes and continued, "Also, in the future, don't kneel and kneel whenever you have nothing to do. Perhaps this method of yours is very useful in front of others, but in front of me, I don't like this, understand?"
"I …"
"Understood!"
Ou Yangzhen was helpless. Ever since he followed Lin Ray, he realized that his young master's way of doing things was very strange. Looking at it now, it was indeed so.
He stood up and looked at his disciple from afar. His face revealed a gratified smile. Then, he looked at Lin Ray and bowed to him. Then, he turned around and walked towards a hill not far away from Ou Yangting.
Looking at Ou Yangzhen who left, Lin Ray shook his head helplessly and sighed. He didn't stay any longer and turned around to leave the system space.
In the outside world, on top of the mountain peak, he slowly walked to the edge of the cliff and looked into the distance. His heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"I don't know when I will be able to go back. Little Dragon, hold on a little longer. When the time comes, I will do everything I can to help you get that thing in your hands and let you transcend that spiritual state!"
After a long time, Lin Ray looked into the distance. Finally, without knowing how much time had passed, a trace of sunset appeared on the horizon. At this moment, Lin Ray finally regained his senses.
"It's time to go take a look. I wonder if that Hong Zhi has made a move against the Emperor!" As he thought about it, he walked towards the empty sky in front of him.
Ta ta ta
If there were others present and saw him walking in the air, they would definitely be scared out of their wits.
Heavenly King City, in front of the city gate. It was not much different from when he first arrived. Of course, the only thing that was different was a wanted poster.
Standing in front of the city gate and looking at the wanted poster, Lin Ray's face was filled with shock. This wanted poster was none other than Fan Jun who had entered the palace to assassinate him.
However, this was different from what Lin Ray had expected. In his opinion, Hong Zhi should have used all of his forces to surround and kill Li Zhiping. Or, he should have used all of his methods to frame Li Zhiping and kill him.
But now? What was the situation now? Why was there only Fan Jun's wanted poster? Moreover, it stated that Fan Jun had entered the palace to assassinate him and had the intention to rebel.
There was no mention of Li Zhiping being his accomplice at all.
"Holy shit! What's going on? Even if Li Zhiping is the Emperor of Hong Tian, he shouldn't be able to cause you, the emperor, to be so afraid!"
"He has already entered the palace to assassinate you, yet you're still … still not making a move? I'm only giving him a small punishment. Furthermore, he's such an unimportant person."
The more Lin Ray thought about it, the angrier he became. He had originally thought that this matter would soon come to an end. However, it would appear that it would take an extremely long time for this matter to be completed. Perhaps it would really be as the system had stipulated and it would take a hundred years to complete!
Thinking about it, Lin Ray held his forehead with his hand. He had a headache.
Suddenly, a male voice sounded from the side and entered Lin Ray's ears. "Hey, brother, did it say that there's a reward for reporting?"
Turning his head to look, he saw a young man in his twenties looking at him with bright and spirited eyes.
"That's right, there's a reward for reporting!"
Lin Ray nodded his head in response. At this moment, looking at the young man, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Young man, I see that you're quite an honest person. How about this, I'll tell you something. However, you have to promise that this matter is only known to you. Is that alright?"
"Hmm?"
The young man looked at Lin Ray with a strange gaze, as if he was thinking that this person was crazy.
"Holy shit, you …"
The young man's gaze made Lin Ray very angry. However, when he thought of his plan, he suppressed the nameless anger in his heart. A smile flashed across his face as he gritted his teeth and said, "Previously, I saw the person on this wanted poster at the back door of the Emperor's Palace."
"Tsk tsk, ten thousand gold taels. How much money is that? With this amount, I'll have to buy a lot of buns and eat a lot of good food. Who knows, I might even be able to get a wife and buy a house. After that, I won't have to live a hard life anymore."
After saying that, Lin Ray didn't wait for the young man to regain his senses. After he finished speaking, he walked towards the capital.
From the young man's appearance, one could tell that he wasn't living a good life. His clothes were tattered, and the moment he opened his mouth, he said that there would be a reward for reporting him. Therefore, Lin Ray was certain that he would definitely go to the Emperor's Palace for the ten thousand gold taels and report him. And this … was exactly what he, Lin Ray, wanted to see.
Thinking about the subsequent developments, the smile on his face couldn't help but become even wider.
Lin Ray, who hadn't strolled the streets for a long time, suddenly became interested and slowly walked on the streets of the Heavenly King City.
It was already evening, and every household had lit up their lanterns. The lanterns on the streets were always lit, illuminating the huge city and filling it with color.
On the streets, pedestrians came and went. Not only was it not sparse with the arrival of night, but there were more and more people.
In the surroundings, there were more and more stalls selling snacks, even more than during the day.
"Lil 'Six, have you heard? There's a place in the city where human traffickers buy and sell. I heard that a lot of good goods came in today. How about it? Do you want to go and take a look?"
"This … isn't … not good. The Hongtian Empire has clearly stated that if they discover human traffickers, they will kill without mercy. If we are discovered like this, I'm afraid …" The young man who was addressed as Lil 'Six had a difficult expression.
Seeing this scene, the companion beside him was speechless for a moment. Then, he opened his mouth to persuade him. "I say, Lil 'Six, you're not young anymore. Your parents died early and their greatest wish was for you to have a wife. Look at it now?"
"Just treat it as fulfilling the wishes of your parents. Let's go and take a look. If we really like her, we'll buy her. If we don't, we'll leave. How about it?"
At the side, Lin Ray who heard the conversation between the two became interested. Especially when he saw Lil 'Six who was hesitating. He knew very well that the person who spoke was obviously tempting him. It was just that Lil' Six didn't know about it.
After pondering for a long time, Lil 'Six finally made a decision. He looked at the man and said, "Brother Gong, I'll listen to you."
"Alright, let's go then!" Seeing that Lil 'Six agreed, Brother Gong became excited. He pulled Lil' Six and walked away.
However, the two of them didn't realize that when they were leaving, the young man behind them followed them.
"Human trafficking, to put it bluntly, is no different from the slave market in the Holy World. The only difference is that one is recognized by the authorities and the other is not!" As he spoke, he leisurely walked behind the two of them.
They walked all the way from the north to the south of the city. Lil 'Six and Brother Gong who were at the front were so tired that they left. Even Brother Gong who was encouraging Lil' Six was exhausted.
Behind them, Lin Ray who was following behind them looked at the two people who were sitting on the ground without a trace of redness on his face. A bitter smile appeared on his face.
"These two youngsters are too useless. We only walked for a short while and they're already exhausted?" Shaking his head, he released his Divine Sense.
Now that they were here, Lin Ray guessed that the human trafficking market wasn't far away.
"As expected!"
Through his Divine Sense, he saw that not far away from Lil 'Six and Brother Gong, there was a luxurious mansion that was brightly lit. It wasn't a sea of people, but it was close. There were two to three hundred people sitting in the courtyard, chatting and laughing as if they were waiting for something.
Looking at this scene, Lin Ray sneered, "It seems that no matter where I go, the law of the jungle will never change!"
After saying that, he started walking towards the luxurious mansion. As for Lil 'Six and Brother Gong, they naturally saw Lin Ray walking out from the shadows. When they saw Lin Ray, they were stunned and vigilant.
What they were doing was something that could cost them their lives. Now that a person suddenly appeared, how could they not be nervous?
"Heh."
When he walked past the two of them, he sneered and brushed past them, walking towards the luxurious mansion in the distance.
"You scared me to death!"
Linley's disregard caused the two of them to relax, and they felt more at ease.
In front of the luxurious mansion, there were two people who had had enough. When they saw someone approaching, they raised their sabers and said coldly, "Stop right there."
"Oh?"
After standing still and looking at the two of them, Lin Ray was stunned. He cupped his fists and replied, "I wonder if this is the place where you do that? Recently, this humble one has been lacking servants, so … "
After saying that, a bag of money appeared in his hand. He stepped forward and placed the bag of money in one of the hands, "Please make an exception. After this matter is done, this humble one will thank you greatly."
When they looked at the bag of money in their hands, they were originally ferocious. In the next moment, they quickly cupped their fists and let him pass, "Young Master, please!"
"Thank you!"
After cupping his fists at the two of them, he walked in. As the saying goes, there is a universe inside. If you don't enter, you won't know that it is very lively inside.
"Cultivation, silence!"
All of a sudden, a voice rang out. Instantly, the originally noisy cauldron of voices fell silent.
Everyone's gaze gathered in the direction of the voice. In the distance, a person was standing on the stage. This person had a smile on his face. The pot-bellied man gave people a feeling that he was asking for a beating.
"Everyone, everyone here knows what this place is for. Since that is the case, I will not waste everyone's time."
After saying that, two attendants brought four women in tattered clothes from the backstage. The moment they stepped on the stage, the four women were forced to kneel in front of hundreds of people.
"These four women are from other empires. Their beauty can be considered average. One thousand taels each."
In an instant, the crowd below could not remain calm. No one who came here was poor. Looking at the four women on the stage, Lin Ray frowned but did not do anything.
He had seen this kind of thing many times and was used to it. He had seen tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of slaves. Compared to this, those were huge trafficking organizations. This was just a small matter!
"One thousand taels, I want one!"
"I want one too!"
"Me too!"
Suddenly, the four women were bought in an instant. In this regard, the man on the stage smiled even more.
Looking at this scene, Lin Ray did not move. He immediately released his divine sense and the entire mansion fell into Lin Ray's mind.
"Hmm?"
In the backstage, among the hundreds of women, Lin Ray scanned with his divine sense. In the end, his gaze fell on a woman with a veil on her face.
"This woman … has spiritual energy fluctuations on her body. Could it be that she is a cultivator of this world?"
After coming to the Empty Underworld Region, he hoped to see cultivators the most. But now, he did not expect to see one in a place where human traffickers do business.
