"Does this count as a freak combination of factors?" He couldn't help but laugh bitterly. He turned around and went to a corner and sat down on a rock. However, his divine sense never left the woman who had spiritual energy fluctuations.
Looking at the woman who was looking around as if she was observing her surroundings, Lin Ray's interest was piqued.
He wasn't stupid enough to think that a cultivator would be caught by a mortal and sold as a commodity by a human trafficker.
The auction on the stage continued. The previous auctions were all for a fixed price. Those who were interested would bid. Of course, those who were priced were those who were judged by the human traffickers to be ugly or those who didn't have the slightest advantage in terms of price.
The later auctions were all genuine beauties. In the end, each of them could be sold for more than ten thousand taels of gold. There was even a woman who was bought for ten thousand taels of gold.
Looking at the madness of these people, Lin Ray was speechless. In this world, it was a problem for the commoners to even eat. However, these people were willing to spend ten thousand taels of gold for a woman.
Backstage, the woman who was being stared at by Lin Ray saw that there were fewer and fewer women being sold. Just as it was about to be her turn, her originally chaotic eyes suddenly lit up.
Washing away the fear and decadence from before, she slowly moved back. When the woman retreated, six or seven people, both men and women, wearing the same clothes, climbed over the wall and entered the mansion.
"After all, Senior Sister Zhong Li should be fine, right?" A little girl looked at the man beside her and asked worriedly.
Everyone stopped in their tracks. The man who was being questioned also stopped. He looked at the little girl and sneered, "Xiao Miao, you're underestimating your Senior Sister Zhong Li too much.
You have to understand that Zhong Li is a top-notch existence in the sect. Her cultivation has already reached the Nebula Realm. What can the ordinary people here do to her?
"However, I am afraid that if we are to fight in a while, that girl Zhong Li will, because of her righteousness, act and punish all of the people here who participated."
"Ah?"
Xiao Miao was dumbfounded when she heard that. She hurriedly said, "That won't do. Senior Brother Wang Wen, that won't do. You have to stop Senior Sister Zhong Li."
"The sect's mission is to not use one's cultivation in the secular world. If the people from the Law Enforcement Hall were to find out about this, Senior Zhong Li's ending might very well be the same as Martial Uncle Wang Hao's."
"I don't want to! You have to think of something!" The little girl panicked. Tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. She looked as if she would cry if he didn't agree.
Seeing Xiao Miao like this, the surrounding senior brothers and senior sisters, led by Wang Wen, all felt their hair stand on end. In the sect, they weren't afraid of being punished by their masters, nor were they afraid of cultivating. However, what they were most afraid of was this little junior sister's tears.
Because of this, the little girl's reputation was well-known in the sect. Generally, no one dared to provoke this little girl.
Of course, the most important reason was that this little girl's father was the sect's Great Elder, Miao Xiong. Therefore, Xiao Miao was a little princess in the sect.
"Okay, okay, okay. Junior Sister, don't cry. If they find out, I'll be in trouble!" Wang Wen hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it over.
"Yes, I know that you dote on me the most!" Seeing that Wang Wen had agreed, the tears in Xiao Miao's eyes instantly disappeared and were replaced by a smile.
Wang Wen and the others were already used to this scene. They didn't find it strange.
"Alright, let's get down to business. The surrounding empires have issued missions saying that some clan members have disappeared within their borders. If we can eliminate this group of human traffickers, we'll have enough points to exchange for martial arts techniques and combat techniques from the Hidden Skills Pavilion!"
"Yes, that's right!"
Everyone nodded in agreement with Wang Wen's words. However, among the seven of them, only Xiao Miao didn't care about the battle techniques and martial techniques that Wang Wen had mentioned. In her opinion, these things were easily obtainable.
However, they didn't know that as they spoke, everything about them appeared in Lin Ray's mind without reservation.
After seeing the images that had appeared, he could confirm that there were indeed cultivators in this world. However, most of these cultivators were hidden deep in the mountains and forests. Furthermore, their cultivation levels didn't seem very high, just like Zhong Li.
Zhong Li's cultivation level was ranked in the Star Cloud Realm in this world. However, in the Cultivation World, this Star Cloud Realm was only at the Inedia Realm.
"This shouldn't be a low-level civilization. The spiritual energy here alone is enough to nurture many powerful cultivators." As he thought about this, Linley continued to observe. He wanted to see how this farce would turn out.
Of course, if there was a need, he didn't mind lending a hand. Who knew, it might be even more fun when the time came?
The girl called Zhong Li had already retreated to the back of the crowd. She was close to the corner of the wall. The rope that bound her hands had unknowingly been broken.
"Senior Brother Wang Wen, I have already investigated the matter. This is the place where the disciples of the various clans are kept. They want to bring those people here and brand them with the word 'slave'. They want to sell them to the rich and powerful families of the Hongtian Empire as slaves or even … sell them to the brothels as prostitutes."
In the backyard, after receiving Zhong Li's voice transmission, they were stunned and their expressions were extremely ugly.
In their eyes, although they didn't like the people of the secular world, they had no choice but to come because of their mission.
Of course, when they heard Zhong Li's explanation of the situation, they didn't know why, but they felt an inexplicable rage in their hearts.
"Junior Sister Zhong Li, since we are here, we have to use our own abilities to free these girls from this sea of suffering and send them away."
At this point, his tone was a little low. "However, they have already been branded with the word 'slave'. I'm afraid that they will live in pain for the rest of their lives."
"Bastard!"
He couldn't help but let out a low roar. His expression turned even darker. At this moment, he couldn't wait to rush out and use his cultivation to kill all the participants here to uphold justice.
"Alright, everyone deal with it as you see fit. Remember, try your best to protect the safety of these girls. Don't disregard their lives."
"As cultivators, we must set an example and not kill the lives of the secular world."
"Remember, we are here to complete our mission. If I find out that any of you dare to violate the mission of the sect, hmph, don't blame me for being merciless. I will personally send you to the Hall of Punishments for your trial!"
The moment these words were spoken, the seven people in the backyard lowered their heads. Even the most lively Xiao Miao fell silent after hearing these words.
