Wen Yunzi (A Story Towards the Peak of Supreme Power)
048.Slave Number 5

Walking to the deepest part, Yun Zi stopped her steps in front of the dark red-colored cage.

In this dark red cage. A tattered blue-robed man was sitting without the slightest expression that could be seen on his face.

Compared to the loud cries of the slaves in the Colosseum, the man in the cage number 5 was just sitting still. Just sitting still without moving, as if his soul wandered somewhere.

"I chose this cage number 5! ", Yun Zi tapped on the sign plaque hanging on the cage with her folding fan as she said to the guard behind her.

"Is Miss sure, this cage number 5 is Miss's choice?", a guard standing three steps behind Yun Zi, asked to confirm her choice.

"I! Very! Sure you! ", Yun Zi emphasized each of his words, Yun Zi's pair of ice-cold eyes suddenly met the pair of emotionless eyes belonging to the Man in the cage.

Seeing that there was not the slightest hint of emotion in the eyes of the Man, Yun Zi suddenly recalled the news that Shu Wan had told him half a month ago about this Man.

Flashback half a month ago,

Inside his temporary residence room, Yun Zi was reading a book wrapped in 'Magic Alchemy' that he had obtained from the Dark Palace within the Lian Mo Qin dimensional space.

"Come in! ", said Yun Zi who heard the knock on the door of his room.

"Master. Subordinate wanted to report some pretty important news", Shu Wan said after saluting.

"Say! ", Yun Zi said without raising his head.

"The news that the subordinates will report is related to the cousin of Mr. Wen Jia Li" Shu Wan said.

Hearing Shu Wan mention the name Wen Jia Li. Yun Zi placed the book in her hand on the table, "Continue! ".

"Five days ago in the middle of the night. The Li family's middle-class residence had been completely burnt down without any residue. It is said, the calamity that befell the Li family due to having offended a powerful expert and the news circulating outside also said that none of them survived. This subordinate investigated deeper after hearing something interesting. As a result! This subordinate found that as it turned out, there was still one survivor!", Shu Wan reported.

Pausing for a moment, Shu Wan then continued, "This one survivor is none other than the Young Master of Li's residence named Li Wang Yong. His latest news, Li Wang Yong was currently in Ghost City as a slave. Truth be told, this fire was not done by experts as in the news that circulated, but was done by a mercenary group operating in Ghost City! ",A,

"If my guess is not wrong. The main objective of the mercenary group was, Young Master Li Wang Yong! ", Yun Zi said as he tapped on the table with his folding fan.

"Master's guess is not wrong!. Li Wang Yong is indeed the main goal of this mercenary group" Liu Mei said with an expression of admiration behind her mask.

"Slaying everyone in the Li residence just for wanting one person! The Ghost City mercenaries are indeed worthy of being known by their ruthless nature" Yun Zi said in her flat tone.

Yun Zi then let Shu Wan continue her report.

Shu Wan then reported to her Master, all the results of her investigation.

"To be able to know the whole truth in just three days! Your abilities in the field of investigation have improved greatly", Yun Zi smiled in satisfaction as he looked towards Shu Wan.

Shu Wan's face suddenly reddened looking at the smile of her Master, Shu Wan then thought in her heart, "If I as a Woman had already turned red and was embarrassed to see Master's smile, then, then what about the reaction of the men out there to be in my position?".

"Unfortunately, the heart of the lotus flower that is always adored turns out to be black! ", summing up the other party's sense of purpose, Yun Zi smiled sinisterly at the thought of the figure of the Girl in his memories known as the purest white Lotus.

Knowing who the figure behind the meaning of his Master's words was, Shu Wan then reported the secret news to his Master regarding Miss Wen Jia Li who was going to visit Ghost City half a month later. Shu Wan also asked her Master about the next plan.

"For now, your job is to monitor the movements of Wen Jia Li! And for sure, we should arrive at Ghost City sooner before Wen Jia Li" Yun Zi said with a mysterious smile.

"Yes Master! ",A,

"All right! You can go now! ", Yun Zi said.

Shu Wan then left after saluting his Master.

Yun Zi smiled sinisterly, of course! Yun Zi would never let Wen Jia Li get what she wanted.

Flashback ends .

Yep! This man who was inside the cage of number 5, was none other than Young Master Li Wang Yong who had lost his entire family.

"If you win the next battle. I promise I'll take you away from Ghost Town! ", Yun Zi said in her flat tone.

Not responding to the remark of the masked Miss standing in front of his cage, Li Wang Yong simply looked at him without the slightest emotion in his eyes.

"Before being sold here, this slave number 5 had been poisoned with a high level of mute poison. That is why this slave cannot speak! Why didn't Miss choose the other slaves? ", said the guard tell the state of the slave number 5.

"I know how he is! And I will still choose it! ", said Yun Zi whose gaze was still fixed on Li Wang Yong.

"I hope you don't disappoint me! Young Master Li Wang Yong!", Yun Zi said in a voice that only Li Wang Yong could hear.

Heard his name called. Li Wang Yong instantly approached towards the masked girl standing in front of his cage, the expression on his face was now full of question marks.

After allowing the guards to leave first, Yun Zi then said to Li Wang Yong, "Do you want to ask where I know your name from? ".

Li Wang Yong who was standing inside the iron cage, nodded desperately. Her previously emotionless eyes, now showed a strong desire.

Yun Zi paused for a moment then said, "I don't just know your name! But I also know the cause of the fire that made you lose your whole family and for sure, I also know the reason why you ended up here".

"Only by following me will you be able to take this bloody revenge. But before that, you have to prove to me whether you deserve it or not to follow me! Prove you were worthy or not in the next fight", after saying what he wanted to say, Yun Zi left Li Wang Yong who was currently stunned.

"Miss, are you sure you don't want to change Miss's choice? ", the guard who was with Yun Zi earlier, confirmed it once again.

"I'm sure! My choice remains a slave in cage number 5! ", Yun Zi emphasized his answer for thinking that this guard was really very chatty.

"All right! I will register slave number 5 for the next fight. Did Miss already book a VIP room in the arena? ",A,

"Already! ", Yun Zi said at a glance.

Saw him leave. Li Wang Yong's eyes were now filled with a strong resolve.

30 Minutes after Yun Zi left. A young girl wearing a white dress and a white veil covering her face, had just entered the Colosseum with a burly man about twenty-eight years old.

"Sister Yan, does this Li Wang Yong really have high talent? ", in her sweet voice, the white-faced girl asked the burly man beside her.

"Of course it's true!. If trained earnestly, this Li Wang Yong will become a sharp sword that you can use to eradicate your enemies" replied the brown-robed man called Big Brother Yan.

"It is precisely because of his high talent that Big Brother Yan slaughtered his entire family and sold them to the Colosseum. If you save her from here, Big Brother Yan is confident that this slave will repay your kindness by pledging allegiance to you! ", continued this Big Brother Yan whose name is Yan Qing.

Yan Qing said it casually as if killing an innocent person was common to him.

"Sister Yan, you are the Leader of the mercenary group 'One Black Wolf' which is ranked 2nd in this Ghost City. But Big Brother Yan is willing to do many things for me. I don't know what to thank Big Brother Yan in any way" said the white veiled girl in her sweet voice.

"You don't have to thank me! Who told you to be Brother Yan's beloved niece. As long as my sweet niece is happy, Big Brother Yan is willing to do anything for you! ", Yan Qing said in her soft voice as she touched the head of the Girl beside her.

The white veiled girl smiled more and more broadly at the words of the burly man beside her.

During the conversation, the two now arrived in front of the slave cage number 5.

The three white veiled girls looked at Li Wang Yong's disheveled and bloody appearance. The white veiled girl said in her sad tone, "You're hurt?. Oh fear not, I will definitely save and get you out of here! ".

The white veiled girl then said in a low tone that only the three of them could hear, "Include me, my name is Wen Jia Li, the second Miss of General Wen's residence. I promise I'll get you out of here but before that, you'll have to win the fight so I can buy you from Ghost Town. Once out of Ghost City, you can live a free life!. How, are you ready? ".

After hearing his words, Li Wang Yong who was originally just sitting quietly was emotionless. Now stand up and step forward approaching the white veiled girl. Li Wang Yong then looked at the white-veiled Girl with a complicated look and expression.

Yan Qing and the White-veiled Girl who was none other than Wen Jia Li, had apparently misinterpreted Li Wang Yong's complicated gaze and expression. Both of them thought that Li Wang Yong was showing such a complicated expression because he was too happy.

Wen Jia Li then said a few more sentences to convince Li Wang Yong.

"All right! I'll go first. In the next fight, I hope you don't disappoint me! ", said Wen Jia Li then left with a satisfied smile, followed by Yan Qing behind her.

While the slaves in other cages are very envious and hateful to the slaves in cage number 5 who in a short time have been bought by two mysterious girls.

Arriving at the entrance of the Colosseum, Yan Qing handed over some banknotes to the guard on duty, "I will buy slaves in cage number 5, this is the deposit! ",A,

Showing a strange expression, the guard then asked, "Slave in cage number 5? ",A,

"Yes! Is there a problem? ", Yan Qing said after seeing the strange expression of the guard on duty.

"No, no problem! ", the guard shook his head then received the paper money that Yan Qing handed over.

After handing over the deposit, Yan Qing then took Wen Jia Li away to the VIP room she had already booked.

Seeing the departure of both. The other guard who had just been silent, asked the guard who was holding the banknotes, "Don't the Boss have bet the number 5 slave with the masked Miss earlier? ".

"Really! But I do not have the courage to say this to Yan Qing who is known to be so cruel" said the guard who received the banknote from Yan Qing.

An hour later. Battle arena ..

Two cages of different sizes covered by black cloth, were brought into the middle of the battle arena.

Later then. A beautiful woman dressed all in black, appeared in the battle arena.

"Wow ... Miss Bao Yu is really very pretty",

"I didn't expect that this fight would be led directly by Miss Bao Yu",

"Gentlemen, I welcome you to the Ghost City battle arena! This next fight, Bao Yu will lead it personally" Bao Yu said.

Bao Yu said in a voice that was not loud. Surprisingly, everyone in the audience stands and those in the VIP room, could hear his voice very clearly.

"This next battle was the level 5 saber-toothed Beast Tiger with slave number 5. The fight would start ten minutes later, so the audience still had a chance to place a bet! ",A,

Along with the fall of Bao Yu's words. The black cloth that covered the two cages, had now been lifted up, revealing what was inside.

In a cage much larger than the other. Seen a Level 5 Beast that was removing its sharp teeth as if it wanted to devour all the Humans it saw. The intense pressure it emitted, had made many of the spectators present in the stands not only shiver in fear, but also spew out a mouthful of fresh blood from being unable to withstand the intense pressure.

"Gee.... It was truly a sword-toothed Tiger-type Beast! ",A,

"If it wasn't for my cultivation level already being high enough. Most likely, I will also spit out blood like the others", too",

"This pressure of a level 5 Beast nearly left me with an internal injury! ",A,

"This time, slave number 5 will definitely lose his life",

"Don't rush to conclude! I heard, even though this slave number 5 is at the level of a level 5 fighting King, his strength really cannot be underestimated! And in just a short time living in the Colosseum, this number 5 slave had won dozens of fights", he said",

The audience in the stands began to place their own bets. Mostly, these people only bet on the victory of the saber-toothed Tiger and few people bet on the slave win number 5.
