The Legend Of Frozen Sovereign
Chapter 08: Slave Merchants
After making sure that something was really wrong with this inn, he decided to immediately go out and check the conditions around the inn, plus he had heard screams from several people.
“If my guess is correct, then there should be four Origin Masters and one family from a faraway place staying, but why do I feel the number is more than that?”
Xuan Yu carefully stepped over while holding the two blades of ice blades and did an examination in the other rooms of the inn. Since he did not know how strong the enemy within this inn was, he could only move like an assassin in silence.
While inspecting one room after another of the inn, he found traces of resistance, blood from the victims, even bodies found with terrible conditions.
Without the need for further investigation Xuan Yu already had a bad premonition about this, but somehow it was not comparable to the current conditions of the Jia City tragedy to occur, plus if they intend to kill everyone then there is no need to bother doing this.
“There is a trace of dragging, it seems like this came from those young cultivators who rebelled, maybe they were taken somewhere?”
Xuan Yu followed in the footsteps of the drag marks and stopped at a storage warehouse on the lower floor, he was confused as to where the drag ended because the trail had clearly not stopped.
He did not run out of ideas as he froze the entire floor in the storage warehouse and destroyed it, after which a passageway similar to a secret room appeared.
It would indeed be a little risky to investigate it further, but his heart would be troubled if he did not take action on these inn people, he said, plus they might have a clue to the tragedy of Jia City considering they had the same pattern.
“No!! stopit! I beg you stop!!”
“Hahaha! come shout louder, a beautiful girl like you is really very nice to sell, but it feels like a loss if you leave it to someone else.”
“Takkk!!”
Xuan Yu heard desperate cries and delighted laughter from a group of people, explaining that they might be involved in a certain incident.
When he went deeper, he entered a cave filled with many confinements such as cages, and inside were many humans collected like animals.
‘They are obviously slave swords, there is no need to bother to explain them they are a bad existence.’
Then when he shifted his gaze, he saw a group of men he had seen in the inn playing with the young cultivators who were guests back then, plus they carried out a vile act by 'destroying' the ladies are guests today.
“Some of them are husband and wife and young couple, but the incident that befell them will really destroy their mentality.” Xuan Yu was disgusted by the behavior of such people, they were no better than the group causing the tragedy of Jia City.
They do not treat their fellow human beings right, instead doing it in reverse by treating them like animals.
‘I really can't sleep quietly if I ignore this, but they are all ordinary humans who rely on acting and planning skills, so I'll get this done as soon as possible.’
Xuan Yu decided to take action, as he began to fuse with the air chill that was within the stuffy cave.
....
“Hey, why Yang Lin so long ago, is it so difficult to attract a child who is only fourteen years old?”
“Hah..he just wants to buy time, and make us wait in this stuffy place, obviously he was upset because he did not get virgin prey today.”
“Does he cultivate the Secret Art to the point of having to get a virgin girl?”
“How do I know, if we're late then blame him when we report to boss.”
“By the way...why are we alone?”
“It seems so, the beginners who are having fun with 'catch' women are also silent.”
“Something's wrong, let's check.”
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet with a chill that was stronger than usual, in addition to the sour aroma that was strong enough to make their noses slightly disturbed.
Crashh!!
“!!!”
The two of them were startled when they stepped on something fragile, sounding like the sound of glass breaking due to being violently stepped on.
Cold sweat poured down their faces, unexpected fear surfaced to make my hair stand up straight by itself, and this was similar to the condition of folklore about vengeful ghosts.
“Hey... shouldn't we call for help, this will really be a problem if any party has realized this place.”
“....”
“Why are you silent sa–”
One of the guards froze to see one of his colleagues he was talking to suddenly appear headless, as blood spurted from the scar, he soon realized that someone had done all this.
“Who?! Out you bajing*n!!” he became extremely afraid, the fear felt by him made his mind and body tremble.
Tap..tap...
There was the sound of heavy footsteps, so he hurriedly pulled the sword at his waist and slashed vertically with all his might, blood instantly coming out and soiling his face quickly.
But he realized that it was one of his comrades, where he was immediately shocked and dropped his sword out of fear, he felt that something was watching him but he did not know who it was or what was watching him.
“How does it feel to be in a state of fear? Do you understand how desperate the victims you have arrested are?”
“!!!”
A voice that sounded extremely cold and was filled with a sense of indifference was heard quietly in his ears, the guard turned around quickly to look, but he saw a strange blurry look, and I don't know why everything went dark in the blink of an eye.
But a never-ending feeling of fear and screams and inexplicable words howled in the darkness, so he continued to scream in silence he never knew.
Meanwhile, Xuan Yu's figure emerged from behind the darkness of the cave with a cold gaze, he looked at all the bodies of the people who were masterminds in this inn without any expression or sense of care.
“The topic in the book is quite useful, maybe it was not the mother who made or recorded it, but it came from someone who was experienced in silent murder, and summarized her experience in a note, as mother said, knowledge is also power”
“But no matter what the conditions, finish them off in a way like this is already feasible.”
