Chapter 1019: Xuanluo Continent
Half an hour later, the big ship slowly left the small island, which was already in flames.
Looking at the fire that was getting farther and farther away, everyone on the deck had extremely mixed feelings. They eventually succeeded in subduing the man, but the process was not smooth.
Not to mention the many people he had secretly killed before, even if the last battle was joined by two Realm Breakers, he still held on for a full half an hour before falling.
Under the attack of the two adults' pervasive divine senses, that person really couldn't resist. However, even so, he still didn't really fall behind in the competition of moves.
It was not so much that he was defeated by the sword qi and sword qi, but that he was stunned by the constant impact of his divine sense.
In other words, any other cultivator under the broken realm, after being attacked by the divine sense, let alone continuing to fight, even the divine mind will become trance-like.
I was afraid that it would only take two or three shocks to completely fall, but this person had stubbornly carried so many divine sense attacks and persisted in fighting for a full half an hour.
This is really an extremely terrifying enemy, but the most incredible thing is that he is really an ordinary person with no spiritual power at all.
After he fell unconscious, the two adults checked this several times. Whether it's with a soul detector or direct perception, the results are exactly the same.
Ordinary people, how can they be so strong?
Today's experience is enough to become an indelible memory for them.
At this time, in the cabin on the top floor of this ship, the two previous realm breakers were having an unknown conversation.
"Why did you stop me from killing him just now? Despicable thing, killing so many noble cultivators, dying ten thousand times is not enough to pay for his life!"
"He's dead, what do we get?"
"Keep him, we still have to find a way to explain to those families, this time many people died at his hands.
And what do we get by living with him?"
"Don't forget, he's just a normal person. Although his meridians are invisible, he can smoothly enter the slave fighting field. ”
"What do you mean?" the other's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he saw a treasure.
"Not bad. With such combat power like him, entering the slave fighting arena will bring us how many spirit stones, you should be able to imagine, right?"
"Looks like it's time to shut the mouths of those guys out there. ”
"It does ......"
They didn't know that the moment their ship approached the island before, to the conversation they had now. Every move of their group of people was already under the watchful eye of another person.
Yes. On that island, there was another person at the time.
It's just that her strength is so much higher than these people that not only Lianshan, but even these two realm-breaking masters are completely unaware of her existence.
Yin Li, who was on this ship at this time, but no one could see it, had a look of clarity in his eyes.
Lian Shan's combat effectiveness did not surprise her, because the former Lin Si was many times stronger than this.
What she really cares about is where these people come from. No matter what kind of slave fighting field is the Holy Sea Palace. All words she had never heard of.
And the peculiar way these people get along with each other and what they do is something she has never seen before.
In her impression, although the status of ordinary people is not as good as that of cultivators, it is by no means so low that it is like a pig and a dog.
That's right, there are thousands of ordinary people on this ship, and most of these people are adult men.
They were all at the bottom of the ship, and there wasn't much space there. And it was so filthy that each of them had no other place to walk except a place to sit.
They were chained, and the food they ate was so bad that it was so bad that they couldn't even take a few sips of water.
They were dead-faced. The state is very poor, and most of them are probably already sick, but they do not resist anything.
Maybe it's not that they don't want to resist, but they can't. In the face of those cultivators above, they are powerless to do anything at all. What's more, this is the vast sea, where can they flee to?
This is the kind of person Yin Li has never seen with her own eyes, but she has not heard of it. In the Cangluo Continent, there are actually very few places where there are similar activities.
They were called slaves and often came from the suffering people of the defeated side of the war.
In fact, even the people on the losing side of the war often don't really fall into that situation. To conquer a city is not to empty the city and take all the people inside captive to be used as coolies.
After the initial repression, some of the victorious powers will choose to assimilate, and some will choose to pacify. This is how it can really be rejuvenated and profitable, after all, it is already their territory at that time, and these people will accept the new rule sooner or later.
But it was clear that these cultivators on this ship had not gone through the war to capture so many 'prisoners of war'.
If they were an army, they would be too few in number, and their targets would be too weak.
It's very likely that this is just a group of practitioners who specialize in 'making a living' from it.
In fact, there are very few people in Cangluo Continent who do similar things, such as those gangs in Cangcheng back then, who used to sell slaves. But it's also underground, and they don't dare to be blatant.
The slave trade in the Cangluo Continent was banned thousands of years ago, thanks to the two years of Qin Ying's unification.
Although the unification of those two years was extremely short-lived, it had a profound impact on the Cangluo Continent after all. One of the noticeable changes is that the status of ordinary people has improved a lot.
The word slave is a relatively unfamiliar and disgusting word for most people in Cangluo Continent.
As for the origin of these strangers, she gradually had a strange guess.
If what she expected was right, these people should be from the Xuanluo Continent.
Only in this way can these extremely incredible things be explained. Could it be that the Xuanluo Continent is still under the rule of cultivators?
It doesn't seem strange to think about it.
Cultivators are already many times stronger than ordinary people, and although they are not many in number, they are not at all something that ordinary people can fight against. It's not an exaggeration to call them just another human being.
A thousand years ago, the Cangluo Continent was under the rule of various major sects.
It's just because of the invasion of another continent that the sect forces are dying. Coupled with those unprecedented but far-reaching measures after the unification of Qinying and Ying, a country will appear in the Cangluo Continent after that.
Because of him. The distance between practitioners and ordinary people has been narrowed, and although there is still a distinction between high and low, it is already commonplace for practitioners and ordinary people to work together and cooperate in various countries.
Even, the powerless prime minister is much more powerful than the commander of the Praetorian Guard and the general of the border pass who break through the border.
And the Xuanluo Continent. Although they were also greatly damaged in that battle, their monk strength was already far stronger than that of the Cangluo Continent. There are several more Saint Realm masters alone.
What's more, there was no one among them who was obviously the most powerful cultivator like Qin Ying, but he deliberately promoted the 'leader' of ordinary people.
Their people may not have the consciousness of resistance at all, because they are used to it.
Just like the people of Cangluo Continent have become accustomed to their current life. Now, if anyone wants to implement any slavery system in the Cangluo Continent, it will only attract endless condemnation and mass attacks.
Three days later, when she came with the big ship to the vast continent, she found out. His guess was not wrong at all, and he might even 'underestimate' the cultivators here.
Leaving the vast sea and entering the hinterland of the hinterland for only ten miles, a large city with a radius of more than twenty miles appeared in front of him.
Houses of unknown value are dotted together, similar to the style of Cangluo Continent, and the buildings here are also mostly wooden.
But beyond that, there are clearly more differences.
This big city. There is no such thing as a city wall.
This is not too unusual, after all, there are some cities in the Cangluo Continent that do not have walls, such as the city of the school garden.
However, it is a very small minority.
The city wall is the strongest line of defense of a city, and it is a guarantee against foreign invasion. Unless the city is safe from the army, it would be a bit arrogant not to have walls.
And in addition. There are many houses here, but there are very few shops.
Except for some restaurants and inns that can also be seen in the Cangluo Continent, all that remains on the street are shops such as weapons, pills, and formations.
On top of that, many of the houses on the street are simply residences.
Almost every city in the Cangluo Continent will have stalls selling small toys and snacks, but there are no ones here.
As for the medical hall and grocery store, after she followed the group who had taken Lianshan away for two or three miles, she still didn't see a single one.
Seems. People here don't need to see a doctor at all, and they don't need to buy daily necessities.
And what was even more strange was still to come, how strong was her perceptual ability? She found that almost all the shopkeepers in those inns and weapon pill shops were cultivators.
Their cultivation is uneven, some are only in the initial realm, and some are already in the Yuan realm.
She saw someone buying medicine at the Dan Pharmacy, not gold and silver, but spirit stones. Even if it is, after all, the elixirs that can help with cultivation are often extremely expensive.
But when she saw that it was quite deserted, the inn was actually settled with spirit stones.
Although it is only a low-grade spirit stone, and it is more than ten times smaller than a normal spirit stone, it is still a spirit stone after all......
Such a small piece of spirit stone, placed in the Cangluo Continent, I am afraid it will cost hundreds of gold coins.
The inn here, is it a money grab?
Or is it that they have so many spirit stones here that they are overflowing?
As she went deeper, she found it difficult to adapt to some of the things here, even in her own state of mind—such as the slave trade.
The streets here were deserted, and after walking four or five miles, she saw only a hundred people, and almost all of them were cultivators.
When she followed the group of people on the boat to the center of the city, she finally came to the place where the people were buzzing.
In the square, which is three or four miles in circumference, tens of thousands of people gathered, both men and women, kneeling, sitting or standing.
The people standing were all cultivators dressed in silk and satin with long swords hanging from their waists. And those who sat or knelt were all ragged and shackled - ordinary people.
Of the tens of thousands, she didn't even see a single exception.
Except for the hundreds of cultivators who were standing, all the remaining ordinary people seemed to have only one identity—slaves.
Rao is that it has always been difficult for her to be moved by things in the outside world, and she can't help but be secretly frightened at this time.
She saw with her own eyes that some people were bargaining, and the goods were the slaves on the ground, and the ones used to buy them were still spirit stones.
She saw that the two realm-breaking masters and the dozens of people behind them had sold the more than a thousand slaves they had brought back from the ship to a dozen other cultivators.
And the price is only five medium-grade spirit stones, and more than three hundred low-grade spirit stones. The reason why there are medium-grade spirit stones is simply because these slaves have different levels of physical strength, so the prices are different.
Here, ordinary people seem to be just goods, which can be bought and sold openly.
What kind of place is this?
