King of Nine Skies-Chapter 166 - :Slave trade

Lin Feng had no idea what had happened after he left the restaurant. Although his perception ability was quite strong, even if he were in the Xuanwu Realm, if someone tried to follow him, he still wouldn't be able to detect it.

Lin Feng didn't even know that Mengqing had never left his side. Ever since he stepped out of the college, Mengqing had been following him all along.

At this moment, Lin Feng's silver mask was put back on his face, restoring his cold and ruthless appearance. Not only him, but also the mask on the face of the Great Saber beside him was silver, but it was a dark bronze color, fierce and domineering. It was indeed a good match for the Great Saber.

"Boss Sword, the slaves in the Prison Arena, apart from those sold at auctions and those who died, are there any that have been transferred to other places?"

Walking along the road, Lin Feng turned his gaze and addressed Ba Dao with a greeting.

"Right." Ba Dao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Not counting those slaves who died, the remaining ones are all elites. Those who can be tamed will stay with us on their own accord. While some who are unruly and cannot be tamed will be sent to the auction market. Even if they are left there, they won't be of much use. Moreover, there are many slaves who will be sold to those who need slave warriors."

Lin Feng glanced at the Berserker Blade. From the look of it, this guy was undoubtedly a rebellious slave who couldn't be tamed. There was no need to say anything more.

"Where will it be sold?" Lin Feng asked persistently.

"I'm not sure." Ba Da said, shaking his head. "I haven't had the chance to get involved in their affairs. I only know what's happening around me."

Lin Feng's eyes showed a hint of contemplation. But then he heard Yi Xue beside him say: "They have been sent to the slave trading market. This is no secret. Any noble who needs slave martial cultivators will go to the slave trading market and purchase them directly with yuan stones, or exchange goods for them."

"Slavery trading market." Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. There was still such a place? He was surprised.

"Yixue, show me around." Lin Feng said indifferently.

Yixuewei was somewhat puzzled. She glanced at Lin Feng and nodded her head, saying, "OK."

Immediately, Yixue raised her foot and led the way. After a while, the group arrived at the slave trading market.

Standing outside the trading market, Lin Feng looked at the spacious avenue before him, but his pupils contracted involuntarily.

This slave trading market is clearly a wide street. On both sides of the street stand several iron cages. Many slaves are locked inside these cages. Outside the cages, the masters of these slaves are sitting calmly there, waiting for someone to come and inquire about the sale of slaves.

Here, slaves are regarded as beasts and commodities for trade, having no human rights at all.

These slaves who were branded as slaves were probably prisoners of war, condemned criminals, or those who had offended certain nobles and powerful forces and were thus branded as slaves. Take Yunhai Sect for example, they were exterminated as a whole family. Those who survived by chance were branded as slaves by Duan Tianlao and became humble slaves, being abused and bullied by others, and even facing the risk of death at any time.

Moreover, this slave trading market was very lively. On the main thoroughfare, people kept walking around, choosing the slaves they were interested in. Among them were many noblemen.

Lin Feng and the other two stepped into this trading market. Their gazes swept across the numerous prison cells on both sides. Here, the slaves were of various types - some were lean, some were robust, and even there were very attractive and sexy female slaves who could satisfy the lust of some lustful people and be bought back for enjoyment.

"Master Feng, most of the slaves here are slave martial cultivators at the Qi Wu stage. Those at the Ling Wu stage are quite expensive and are monopolized by several major families in the Imperial City. If you please, would you like to go and have a look at the central part of the slave market?"

At this moment, Yixue said to Lin Feng, "Although he doesn't know the purpose of Lin Feng's visit here, given Lin Feng's strength, if he really wanted to purchase slave martial cultivators, he would naturally choose those in the Lingwu realm."

"OK. Let's go and have a look."

Lin Feng gave a curt nod and continued walking. However, Lin Feng felt very uncomfortable all over. Those slaves in the prison cells were all staring at them, making him feel very uneasy. Moreover, the people who were selling the slaves had eyes that were truly repulsive.

A moment later, Lin Feng arrived at the center of the slave trading market. At this time, beside him, there were no prison cells like in other places, but instead there was a huge building, like a small ancient castle.

"Master, this is the largest trading venue of the slave market. Eighty percent of the slaves in the Spirit Martial Realm are monopolized by them."

Yixue whispered softly in Lin Feng's ear. At that moment, outside the ancient castle, there was a figure staring at Lin Feng and his companions. Hearing Yixue calling out to Lin Feng as "Young Master Lin", the figure smiled and replied, "Young Master Lin, do you need a slave martial artist? I can assure you that in our place, you will surely be able to select a slave martial artist that suits your needs."

"Take me to have a look." Lin Feng said indifferently, his eyes beneath the silver mask remaining calm and unaltered.

"Alright, young master. Follow me." The man wore a polite smile on his face and led Lin Feng and the others into that ancient building that resembled a fortress.

This fortress is very spacious and large. Half of its area is locked off. Inside, all are slave warriors, sitting lazily on the ground one after another. It seems that when Lin Feng and others walked in, their gazes turned towards Lin Feng. Immediately, Lin Feng felt a strong aura overwhelming him.

"Young Master, you can choose the one you like from here. The number of chains on each one represents their strength. One chain means the rank of Lingwu Stage One, five chains mean the rank of Lingwu Stage Five."

The man said to Lin Feng again. Standing outside the prison door, Lin Feng could indeed see the number of chains on the slave Wu Shuxin's body, and thus infer their strength.

"More than two hundred slaves who have reached the level of Lingwu Realm, among them, the most powerful ones are those who have reached the sixth level of Lingwu Realm. The master here must be a powerful force, right?" Lin Feng gave a cursory glance at these slaves. There were more than two hundred of them, all at the Lingwu Realm level, and their ages were not old. If they were outside here, they could form a terrifying force and establish a sect.

"Young Master, don't worry. These slaves are all from the Prison Arena. Many of them are prisoners captured by the Heavenly Wolf King during his campaign against Yunhai Sect. Yunhai Sect is a major sect. Many of the people here are disciples of the Inner Sect, and even some of the core disciples. They will definitely not let you down."

The person beside him continued to be courteous and said, making Lin Feng's eyes beneath the mask slightly narrow. The disciples of Yunhai Sect are really like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Last time I heard that Duan Tianlang had sent the people of Yunhai Sect to the Prison Arena. Lin Feng hoped to find some former members of Yunhai Sect, and that's why he deliberately came to see this place.

"Ha ha, disciples of Yunhai Sect, they are quite good. Just so happens that I'm going to the heartland of the Beast Forest this time and need some people to clear the way. It seems that I've come at the right time."

Lin Feng smiled, causing the slaves to look at him with a cold stare. They were staring at him with icy eyes, as if to say, "To go to the heartland of the demon beasts' forest to clear the way? In other words, you're asking them to go and die? This bastard!"

"Hey, Master, you really came at the right time." The person beside him chuckled. But in his heart, he secretly cursed Lin Feng. He didn't know which noble family's son he was dealing with. How could he be so stupid as to reveal his intentions like this?

"Here, how much is a slave warrior's service?" Lin Feng asked.

"For the first stage of the Lingwu Realm, there are ten medium-grade elemental stones; for the second stage, thirty medium-grade elemental stones; for the third stage, eighty medium-grade elemental stones; for the fourth stage, two hundred medium-grade elemental stones; for the fifth stage, five hundred medium-grade elemental stones; and for the sixth stage, one hundred and fifty-six medium-grade elemental stones."

Lin Feng gave a slight nod and said to the slaves in the prison, "The disciples of Yunhai Sect, come out and follow me."

The person beside him heard this and cursed Lin Feng again, calling him a fool!

Those slave warriors also gave Lin Feng a brief glance. Since they all knew it was a dead end, who would be willing to go with him? They didn't have the label of Yunhai Sect on their faces. If they didn't say it themselves, who would know that they were from Yunhai Sect?

Even the two companions beside him, Baodai and Yixue, couldn't understand Lin Feng's actions at all.

However, Lin Feng's gaze remained steady. A faint sheen flashed across his eyes. One of his hands emerged from his bosom and was placed on the iron cage.

On one of Lin Feng's fingers, there was a very ordinary stone ring. It was not eye-catching at all. However, many slaves in the iron cage felt a shudder in their hearts upon seeing this stone ring.

This ordinary ring would go unnoticed anywhere. However, many of these slave warriors had seen it before. In the past, this stone ring was worn by the leader of Yunhai Sect, Nan Gong Ling.
