Chapter 306: Targeted (1/2)

”Quickly go in! Remember, you will forever be our property. You actually dare to escape. When we return, we won't let you off!”

Two cultivators escorted a few female cultivators and stuffed them into an iron cage on a carriage, locking them up with the other female cultivators.

”No, we don't want to go back. There's a human-eating demon there. If we go back, we'll all be eaten by her!”

The few female cultivators cried and resisted, but the difference in their cultivation levels was too great. This bit of resistance was useless.

”What nonsense are you spouting? If you dare to spout nonsense again, we brothers will eat you up right now!”

Jiang Li was still meditating in the ruins. A large amount of spiritual qi had circulated in his body. After recovering, his Qi Refinement cultivation had broken through again.

At this moment, he heard a small convoy approaching from afar.

”Second Brother, do you think something happened? Otherwise, with Big Brother around, how did they escape?”

More than ten cultivators riding spirit colts drove three carriages carrying large cages on the road. In those cages were some young female cultivators.

Most of the cultivators' faces were filled with despair and confusion. A few female cultivators' faces were filled with fear.

From their voices, these female cultivators seemed to have escaped from their base. However, they happened to encounter them on the way back after capturing slaves and were captured again.

This group of people was the notorious human traffickers in the cultivation world.

In the cultivation world, the transactions of various humanoid creatures had actually been developing quite well.

For example, when Jiang Li first entered the cultivation world, he led his convoy to capture many Scaled Demons.

Apart from that, there were also fox demons, cat demons, and others who had been forced to transform after consuming the Body Transformation Pill.

Those with ugly appearances could be used to mine and cut wood, while those beautiful ones could be sold to high-end service venues.

Apart from these humanoid creatures captured from the wilderness, true human cultivators were the high-end goods in this market.

For example, Phoenix Sun City's Red Lantern Street. In those places, as long as you paid a little more, they would bring you to choose some women who had already become goods.

If nothing unexpected happened, these captured low-level female cultivators would be sold to those places in the future for people to consume.

There were many rogue cultivators who killed and robbed people.

However, such people usually bullied the weak and feared the strong. When they encountered a tough opponent, it was very easy for them to fail. However, rogue cultivators who were much weaker than them did not have much to profit.

Therefore, many rogue cultivators started to snatch people when they realized that they could not gain anything. The market for female cultivators was clearly much better than male cultivators.

This kind of scum usually spread some unreal information.

For example, a respected old granny in the cultivation world who was about to reach the end of her lifespan and did not have a successor planned to seek a fated cultivator to take in a disciple and entrust everything she had learned in her life, artifacts, and spirit stones.

However, her cultivation method was only suitable for women…

Jiang Li would hear such rumors every time he went to the cultivation market.

They did not want to deceive all the women. It was best if the ones who came were those not smart and weak female cultivators.

As long as she entered their trap, there was no chance of coming out.

”Don't worry, Big Brother is a Golden Core cultivator. Moreover, we have our own backing. The surrounding forces all enjoy the benefits we provide. No one will deliberately target us.”

”As long as this group of female furnaces can satisfy the Old Lord of the West River and exchange for a bottle of Nascent Formation Pills from him, Boss will have a chance to step into the Nascent Soul realm. At that time, we will be a Nascent Soul faction. How can your benefits be less?”

Hearing the future that this second brother imagined, the other cultivators were very excited.

However, as they walked, they discovered something amiss.

”Second Brother, if I remember correctly, shouldn't there be a few mountains here?”

”Why has it become a swamp now? Did we go to the wrong place?”

A human trafficker curiously went forward and grabbed a handful of the mud in the swamp. Then, his eyes became terrified.

This was because the hand that he had grabbed the mud with had melted in front of his eyes. In just two blinks of the eye, not a single bone was left.

This was a poisonous swamp created by the poison of the Blue-Ring Dragon Headed Octopus. Just touching it was enough to kill these guys in half a day.

However, this was not the end. Jiang Li, who had his cultivation disturbed, had already appeared behind this group of human traffickers at some point in time.

There was a coffin floating beside Jiang Li. The lid of the coffin slid open, and countless roots surged out from the depths of the pitch-black coffin. This group of human traffickers did not have the slightest ability to resist before they were bound by the roots and dragged into the Yin Burial Space.

Being locked in a cage, a group of young female cultivators watched this scene in shock.

In their eyes, these dozen or so Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators were already important figures that they could not resist.

But now, these important figures were all gone.

What appeared in front of them was a young and handsome male cultivator. He was wearing a Great Mountain embroidered robe, and his eyes revealed a mysterious color.

Jiang Li casually threw out a few leaves, and the heavy lock with the talisman paper on the cage was easily cut into two.

The few female cultivators should have asked for help or thanked him.

However, at this moment, they were only staring blankly at Jiang Li with reddish faces. They had even forgotten to come out of the cage.

Was this what it meant to have a hero saving damsels in distress? No! This was the descent of a god! This male cultivator must be the Dao Companion given to them by the heavens!

Images of ambiguity flashed through their minds, and their eyes almost popped out.

”You mentioned a human-eating demon before. Where did that demon appear? What does he look like?”

Jiang Li ignored their performance. He had seen this situation many times in the Great Mountain Alliance. After he obtained the Human Emperor's Blood Qi, his aura seemed even more noble, and the situation in the future should be even more severe.

Jiang Li did not have any woman in his heart. At this moment, he was more interested in what these female cultivators had said earlier.

The human-eating demon appeared right after he left.

After a series of detailed inquiries, the final result was not much different from what he had expected.

The location was the town where he and Yang Ruozhi separated more than 50 kilometers away. The demon they were talking about was a woman who looked very thin like a skeleton.

That woman attacked that town and ate all the human trafficking cultivators who stayed behind. That was why the few of them could escape.

Jiang Li understood that the person who did all this was obviously Yang Ruozhi who he had saved, or rather, Mu Yulan.
