"Get in quickly! Remember, you will always be our property, yet you dare to run away. We won't be able to spare you when we get back!"
Two monks escorted several female nuns, stuffed them into an iron cage on a carriage, and locked them together with a group of other female nuns.
"No, we don't want to go back. There is a man-eating demon there. If we go back, we will all be eaten by her!"
The female cultivators cried bitterly and resisted, but the resistance was ineffective because of the huge gap in cultivation.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you dare to talk nonsense again, our brothers will eat you now!"
Jiang Li was still meditating and regulating his breath in the ruins. The excess spiritual energy from the battle left his body. After he regained his strength, he made another breakthrough in his Qi training.
At this time, he heard a small convoy approaching from a distance.
"Second brother, do you think something will really happen to my lair? Otherwise, how did these girls escape with my eldest brother here?"
A dozen monks riding spiritual horses drove three carriages loaded with large cages, and those cages contained some young female monks.
Most of the cultivators had despair and confusion on their faces. However, the faces of a few female cultivators were full of fear.
Listening to their voices, it seemed that these female nuns had escaped from their lair, but on the way they happened to encounter them returning after catching slaves, and were arrested again.
This group of people is the notorious human traffickers in the world of immortality.
In the world of immortality, the trade of various humanoid creatures has actually been developing quite well.
For example, when Jiang Li entered the world of cultivating immortals for the first time, he took their convoy and captured many scale monsters along the way.
In addition, there are also fox demons, cat demons, etc. who are forced to transform by taking the Transformation Pill.
Those with a poor image can be used for mining and logging, while those with a good image can be sold to high-end service venues.
In addition to these humanoid creatures caught from the wild, real human monks are the high-end goods in this market.
Just like the Red Lantern Street in Fengyang City. In those places, as long as you add more money, they will take you to select some women who have become commodities.
If nothing happens to these captured low-level female nuns, they will be sold to those places for free for consumption in the rest of their lives.
There are many casual cultivators who kill people and steal goods.
But this kind of people usually bully the weak and fear the strong. If they touch the iron plate, they will easily overturn. But those who are too weak than themselves will not have much luck.
Therefore, many casual cultivators find that they can't grab anything, so they simply start robbing people. And the sales market for female monks is obviously much better than that for male monks.
This kind of scum usually spreads some untrue information.
For example, a highly respected old woman in the world of immortality is dying and has no successor. She plans to seek a suitable monk to take on as a disciple, and entrusts her with all the magic weapons and spiritual stones she has learned throughout her life.
And its techniques are only suitable for women to practice...and so on and so on.
This kind of rumor, which is similar to asking for a child with a lot of money, Jiang Li can hear every time he goes to the Xiuxian Fair.
They don't want to deceive all women. The best ones are those female nuns who are not very smart and weak.
As long as you fall into their trap, there is no chance of getting out.
"Don't worry, my eldest brother is a golden elixir monk, and there are people above us. The forces around us all enjoy the offerings I can make, and no one will deliberately target us."
"As long as this group of female furnaces can satisfy the great master of Xijiang and exchange them for a bottle of Huaying Dan, the boss will have the opportunity to step into the ranks of Yuanying. By then, we will be a Yuanying force. With your benefits, we can return the favor.
How much less can it be?”
The other monks were very excited when they heard the second brother's vision of the future.
But as they walked, they discovered something was wrong.
"Second brother, if I remember correctly, are there supposed to be several mountains here?"
"Why has it become a swamp now? Are we in the wrong place?"
A human trafficker stepped forward out of curiosity and grabbed a handful of mud from the swamp, and then his eyes became horrified.
Because the hand he used to grab the mud melted in front of his eyes in the blink of an eye, not even a bone was left behind.
This is a poisonous swamp created by a blue-ringed dragon's head chapter that drained the venom from its body. A single encounter with it is enough to kill these guys for half a day.
But it wasn't over yet. Jiang Li, who was disturbed while adjusting his breathing, appeared behind the traffickers at some point.
Next to Jiang Li, there was a coffin suspended. The coffin lid slid open, and countless roots poured out from the dark depths of the coffin. The traffickers were all tied up and dragged by the roots without any resistance.
Entered the tomb space.
Locked in a cage, a group of fledgling female nuns stared dumbfounded at the scene before them.
In their eyes, these dozen monks who frequently formed elixirs and built foundations were already big shots that they could not resist.
But now it's so simple, and all these big shots are gone.
What appeared in front of them was a young and handsome male monk. He was wearing a heavy mountain embroidered robe and his eyes revealed a mysterious color.
Jiang Li threw out a few leaves, and the heavy lock with talisman paper on the cage was easily cut in half.
Several female nuns should have said some words of help or thanks at this time.
But at this time, they just stared at Jiang Li blankly, their faces flushed. They even forgot about coming out of the cage.
Is this a hero saving a beauty? No! This is a god descending to earth! This male cultivator must be the Taoist companion given to me by God!
Scenes of ambiguous scenes flashed crazily in their minds, and their eyes almost burst out of love.
"You mentioned the man-eating demon before. Where did that demon appear? What does it look like?"
Jiang Li ignored their performance. He had seen this situation many times in the Chongshan League. After he obtained the Human Emperor's Qi and blood, his temperament became more noble, and the situation should be more serious in the future.
Jiang Li had no woman in his heart, but at this moment he was more interested in what these female cultivators had said before.
The man-eating demon appears with his hind legs as soon as he takes off with his front legs.
After some detailed inquiries, the final result was almost the same as what he expected.
The location was the town hundreds of miles away where he and Yang Ruozhi separated, and the devil they were talking about was a woman who looked very thin and looked like a skeleton.
The woman attacked the town and ate all the traders and monks who stayed behind, which was how they were able to escape.
Jiang Li knew clearly that the person who did these things was obviously Yang Ruozhi who he rescued, or should he call her Mu Yulan.
[Name: Mu Yulan]
【Gender: Female】
[Occupation: Monk]
[Level: Real Dan Realm in the Dan Formation Stage]
[Spiritual roots: high-quality water attribute spiritual roots]
[Status: Seriously injured and on the verge of death, possessed]
[Danger level: None/Extremely dangerous]
This was the information obtained after Jiang Li released an appraisal when he discovered the other party.
As the level of appraisal skills gets higher and higher, the more information he can get.
However, the two columns [Status: Seriously injured, near death, possessed] and [Danger Level: None/Extremely Dangerous] appear a bit strange.
In the case of being seriously injured and on the verge of death, according to the evaluation of the appraisal technique, this person was actually extremely dangerous with the ability to cause a fatal blow to Jiang Li.
For an alchemy monk, this is almost impossible.
Unless she was hiding some ancient artifact, but the situation at that time, she didn't even have two kilograms of meat left, how could she have a place to hide things.
Then the only possibility can only exist in the "possession" on her status column.
Being possessed by memories in the Ghost King Wasteland is actually not unusual at all.
However, a ghost that can be considered extremely dangerous to Jiang Li by identification technology is not an ordinary person.
After she woke up, the name she lied about made Jiang Li figure out most of it.
"The memorial tablet of the late eldest son Du Xianzhu", "the memorial tablet of the late eldest daughter-in-law Yang Ruozhi"
These are the two tablets Jiang Li saw in front of the coffin when he was tricked into the Underworld Marriage Mansion.
The tablet of Du Xianzhu is still in his hands.
And Yang Ruozhi is the name of the ghost king in the underworld.
Such a coincidence is almost impossible to happen.
The only explanation is that Ghost King Yang Ruozhi suffered some serious trauma during the continuous battles.
Only by possessing Mu Yulan, who has a special physique and is born with no longevity, can they rely on each other to survive.
And it was precisely because of the existence of the Ghost King in his body that Mu Yulan was able to sustain himself in that extreme state for so long, and he recovered so quickly after being rescued by Jiang Li.
As for why the other party did not forcefully attack Jiang Li, it was probably because when Jiang Li came out of the illusion of the underworld, he used Ghost Lantern Cold Flame, which was extremely powerful and very effective against ghosts.
Probably because of this, the ghost king did not dare to have other thoughts about Jiang Li when he was weak.
In addition, even in that body, Mu Yulan seemed to be the leader.
After a catastrophe, there must be blessings. With such a "grandpa" type of big sister suddenly living in his body, Mu Yulan's rise has become unstoppable.
Jiang Li looked at the direction of the town and had no intention of going there to find out.
It is impossible to say that they will have a chance to meet again in the future.
At this time, the Chongshan Alliance Leader's Order hanging on his waist suddenly vibrated.
Someone is contacting him.
He had been out alone for only a dozen days, but he didn't expect something to happen again.
After picking up the communication, the person contacting him was the stubborn hermit cultivator from the Chongshan League, who was completely directly related to Jiang Li.
The first sentence that came out of the token made Jiang Li become solemn.
"Leader, our hometown is being targeted."
After understanding the situation, Jiang Li could not help but frown more and more tightly.
The news came from the Manjianghong Inn built by Jiang Li and Yan Hong.
The ones who reported the news were a bunch of clever rat spirits and a few yellow skins that lived in mortal graveyards all year round and stole tributes.
After Jiang Li became the leader of the Chongshan League, he took advantage of his position to open his Man Jianghong Inn in all corners of Dazhong Mountain.
Each inn only needs monks who are in the foundation building or even Qi training period to be stationed there. It only consumes some mortal food and spiritual mine residues, which for Jiang Li is almost negligible.
During this period, Manjianghong Inn also developed quite well.
Among the tens of millions of little demon groups in those mountainous areas, they already have great prestige.
They are keen on selling information and some small items from their collection to the inn.
After the stall was expanded, Jiang Li was finally humble in it and harvested a few treasures covered in pearls and dust.
The value of those few treasures alone is enough to offset all the previous acquisition costs.
And those inconspicuous little demons scattered in every corner of Dazhong Mountain have also formed a complete and difficult-to-detect intelligence network.
After all, who would be suspicious of a rat running across the street at any time?
Even if he gets suspicious and kills the mouse, Jiang Li will still have thousands of snakes, insects, rats and ants as his spies.
As a monk, you can't just catch any living creatures you see on the roadside and kill them all.
Just a few days ago, this nest of rats witnessed the massacre of an entire mortal village.
In the following days, similar incidents were reported one after another.
It wasn't taken seriously at first, until the intelligence personnel trained by Yan Hong discovered the anomalies when collating the information, and then reported it to Jiang Li.
According to the descriptions of those who witnessed the little demon, the characteristics of the perpetrators were very uniform. They were a group of human monks dressed in red and wearing bloody swords.
The disappearance of a mortal village is actually not worth mentioning in this era.
A simple massacre of a village by bandits may lead to such a result.
However, if the same events occur continuously for several days, the distance between the places where the events occur is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
And the most important thing is that the red-clothed Xue Dao's outfit is basically the symbol of the Wan Tu Clan in the East Region.
At least according to what the Chongshan League currently knows, there is no such a group of casual cultivators in Dachongshan who like to wear red and kill people.
Therefore, it is very likely that they are the vanguard of the Wantu Clan's reconnaissance team.
"Wantumen, are you really ready to take action?"
The Wan Tu Sect, which had previously received the crown of Blood King, finally completely defeated the innocent cultivating world similar to Dazhong Mountain with an overwhelming advantage, and set off a brutal and inhumane massacre there.
It is said that during that time, it didn't rain much in the entire Eastern Region because all the dark clouds gathered at the scene of the massacre.
However, the thunderstorm of the Heavenly Tribulation in that situation still did not kill the Venerable Wantu. Afterwards, some people even said that the cultivation strength of the one wearing the Blood King's crown had taken a big step forward.
Nowadays, due to the secret realm of the Medicine Garden, or the recognition ceremony of the Blood King's Crown requires more innocent lives and sacrifices.
The demon sect that took pleasure in killing living beings set its sights on the world of immortality cultivation in Dachong Mountain.
Jiang Li led the Chongshan Alliance into the Eastern Region in order to resist that behemoth.
We must never let Dachongshan make the same mistake again!
He put away the coffin, stepped on the flying sword and flew into the air, turning into a stream of light and disappearing in the direction of Dazhong Mountain.
