Towards Eternity
Ch 500's. The Slum Conquest (I)
Unlike city 7 which was in the middle of a swamp, cities 4 and 5 were around the adjacent mountain slopes.
The distance between the two with City 3 was only about ten kilometers, so the group of Weng Lou could reach quickly.
The first city visited by the two is City 4 which is behind the mountains facing in the direction.
Weng Lou remained quietly sitting together with Du Zhe on top of the body of the Black Ape Fighter, while a rain of arrows pointed at them.
A protector was instantly created when hundreds of arrows were about to hit the two of them, while the Black Ape Fighter simply stayed in place without worrying about the slightest of arrows hitting it.
He was a ferocious beast that possessed strength that was in the realm of Soul Unification, ordinary weapons would not even be felt at all for him. Even a tier 2 weapon would only slightly blister on his skin if added with Qi though.
"Cut down all the soldiers, don't kill them. I will decide what I will do to them after getting information from the slaves," Weng Lou told Black Ape Brawlers.
He and Du Zhe left the ape alone with the soldiers who surrounded him. Since it was an order from Weng Lou, the ape could only agree and do as he was told.
Weng Lou and Du Zhe then went to where the slaves were.
As usual, Weng Lou smiled at all of them then asked if they wanted to submit to him or not. For those who do not want and even fight him, directly Weng Lou paralyzed and separated from other slaves. He does not need those who will not obey him, especially those who fight him.
If only he would not submit, then he would immediately release it, but it was different from fighting it. If there is a seed of resistance among the group you lead, then you should get rid of it before it grows into a tree that will be difficult to cut down later.
Even so, just how big the tree would be, Weng Lou could easily cut it. He was no longer the weak Weng Lou he used to be, so he would not think too far into matters like this. But he still had to make a precaution, so that he would not have to bother doing the work that resulted from the resistance of these slaves.
Just a few minutes later, Weng Lou had finished dividing the slaves into three groups.
The first is to submit to him and acknowledge him as the new leader, the second is those who do not submit and choose to be free, while the other groups are those who refuse and fight against him.
Those who did not want to submit, Weng Lou gave the opportunity to get out of the city, but then it turned out that no one wanted to do that, so in the end they chose to submit to Weng Lou.
For those who fight, Weng Lou combines them with the soldiers who have been paralyzed by the ape in brackets not up to five minutes.
The number of soldiers in this city was only two hundred and fifty people, and most of them were only at the 1st to 2nd level Foundation Base. Even without spending the slightest effort, the Black Ape Fighter had already subverted all of them.
"All of you, I'm sorry, but I need a lot of killing aura from you, so may you die in a calm state."
Weng Lou's words were like a sharp sword that instantly pierced the hearts of the soldiers and slaves who fought against him before.
They were all planning to escape, but then the Life-Destroying Blade moved very quickly past them all. In the next instant, all the soldiers fell to the ground in lifeless condition, as well as the slaves who were with them.
A hole was seen on their chests and heads as they were passed by Weng Lou's Life-Attacking Knife.
After killing all of them, Weng Lou could feel that a reddish aura was creeping into his body. It was the killing aura that was from all the bodies of the soldiers and slaves he killed.
The number was far more than when he had killed the soldiers in City 7 before. Which proves that they have all done a lot of killing before, whether it is killing wild animals or humans though.
"All our work here is done, let's go to their leader," said Weng Lou like without burden and went in one direction where there is a large enough building on the outskirts of the city.
He was unaware of Du Zhe's pale face that was beside him at this moment after seeing Weng Lou finish off the soldiers' slaves earlier.
Glutin.....
Du Zhe swallowed his saliva, and immediately went following Weng Lou.
The bodies of the soldiers who had tan lifelessly were left behind by them just like that, while the other slaves who had been watching from a distance were pouring cold sweat all over their bodies.
Weng Lou found the leader of the soldiers hiding in the basement of his headquarters building, and forced her to tell him all the information she knew about the Martial Practitioners on Fanrong Island.
Who was the strongest, and whether there was another group of Martial Practitioners other than the Red Devil College. It was all asked by Weng Lou to that City 4 warrior leader who then quickly got an answer from him.
Unfortunately, after getting an answer, Weng Lou felt disappointed because of all that was said by him he had heard from Biantai in City 7, as well as the information given from Wuyong that was on the paper roll that was now in Du Zhe's hands.
Weng Lou ended his question by killing the warrior leader, and gained quite a killing aura.
Du Zhe looked at all of that in silence. He had heard that the road of self was a road full of blood. Today he had seen that those words were truths that were even more terrifying than his previous thoughts.
They, Weng Lou and Du Zhe also came out of the headquarters building, then returned to the slaves who had been willing to submit to him.
"Alright, I won't linger here, but I definitely relinquished the status of a slave to all of you, on some conditions, you are forbidden to leave this city other than to make ends meet such as food and drink.
You are free to use whatever weapons are here to hunt, but you must not injure each other, let alone kill each other. If anyone violates what I say, don't blame me if I kill you like the soldiers there, too," clearly Weng Lou was at all of them while pointing towards the soldiers who had been lifeless on the ground.
Glug.
They all nodded quickly.
"Good, then I'll go first. Ah right, do not forget to bury all the bodies of the soldiers, or if you do not want to be exhausted, you can burn their bodies all after taking their equipment," continued Weng Lou.
Weng Lou did the same thing as he did in City 4, but the difference is that he did not finish off all the existing soldiers but only killed approximately 3/4 and do not kill those who give up from the beginning.
It did not take long for Weng Lou to sort out the existing slaves and give them freedom of choice like the former slaves in City 4. As a result, all of them would be under the orders of Weng Lou and not a single slave was killed.
He also did not get any useful information from the warrior leader in the city, either, so choose to kill him alone because the warrior leader had dared to try to kill him by putting poison in the tea he served Weng Lou.
Before Weng Lou departed from City 5, he made some arrangements for the city, then left again to go to the next city, City 6.
In just about twenty minutes, Weng Lou spent his time in city 4 and city 5. A very stunning achievement if known by people who are on Black Sand Island.
***
In the afternoon, in a valley of vast grasslands, a city of considerable size stood in the middle.
It is City 1, the second-highest size and security city in the slums of Fanrong Island, with the first occupied by Heishin City.
Usually, City 1 is always busy with various kinds of slave work activities.
The slave labor in City 1 was arguably the heaviest among the ten other cities in the slums, mining minerals near a lava pool that is a few meters below the ground.
There are also several other jobs such as farming, and farming that are done outside the city.
His extremely strategic territory made the Emperor personally request to maximize the work that could be done in this 1st City by the slaves. Even though the existing slaves did not meet the amount needed to do all the work, the emperor did not care in the slightest.
As the income grew, the Emperor did not care whether 0ara slaves died, dying or sick. Slaves should be treated like slaves in general.
Slaves are there to work and fulfill the wishes of their master, those are the words that are always held firmly by the emperor and his subordinates who declare allegiance to him.
However, the city that should have been busy with all sorts of work done by the slaves, now seemed very quiet, with smoke billowing within the city.
At this moment, the great wall that became the boundary of City 1, had now collapsed at its front gate.
Inside the city, the Black Ape Fighter who had become the beast mount Weng Lou was sitting casually near the piles of corpses of the city soldiers.
It wasn't the monkey that killed them all.
On their heads, an elongated hole was found on their heads and chests, which was caused by Weng Lou's Life-Destroying Knife.
On the roof of a building, Weng Lou stood next to the body of a man who had now stretched out lifelessly, with a large hole in his chest.
Weng Lou looked down, where there were hundreds of slaves standing looking at him blankly. It was as if they had no life in them.
Even Du Zhe who was near them felt a little scared and horrified looking at the eyes with their blank gazes all.
"It seems like they've been through all sorts of torture all along. Their blank gazes showed that they had long since expected no more help from someone.
Their lives must be very heavy here. Their mentality was completely damaged by work fatigue" said Ye Lao, who sounded like he was grunting.
He is one of the Absolute who greatly uphold justice when he was in power first. The system of slavery has absolutely no application to any of its dimensions.
When there is in the dimension of his creation, one of the people who apply this system of slavery, then he will immediately destroy the dimension without blinking a single blink.
Yes, although actually he has started not caring about it anymore since losing to Zhi Juan and ended up with Weng Lou all the time.
"Yes...I just saw a look like that this time, what do you think I should do?" ask Weng Lou.
"I will usually improve their mentality while still an Absolute. But with my strength now, it is impossible to do so. Try to talk to them using your soul power, your voice will be able to be heard directly into all of them even if I don't know how they will react," Ye Lao replied quickly.
Weng Lou nodded, he then took his breath, and began to speak again with the help of his soul force.
"Hello, everybody. I am your new leader! I have killed all the soldiers in this city, so you no longer need to do your job as a slave! Now you have been freed from your slave status!" weng Lou.
All the slaves in the entire city could hear Weng Lou's voice very clearly. His voice echoed inside their heads all.
A few seconds passed, there was no reaction from any of them. It seemed like their mentality had already been shattered beyond Ye Lao's estimation.
As Weng Lou and Ye Lao waited for the slaves to react, from one of the alleys, a twelve-year-old teenage boy rushed to the direction where Weng Lou was.
When he arrived, he raised his head and looked at Weng Lou while still breathing hard.
"What's....WHAT ARE YOU SAYING TRUE?!" ask her while shouting a little.
Next to Weng Lou's eyebrows raised and he smiled, it didn't seem like everyone was mentally damaged in this city.
