#210 - Are you so murderous?
This scene deeply shocked both Mi Qianmeng and the young man.
What shocked them was not just the way people were being treated.
But also the pair of numb eyes among these slaves.
Even when Liang Jin and the others barged in, the slaves didn't show any emotional fluctuations.
It was as if everything in this world could no longer stir up any waves in their numb souls.
They had given up.
They had given up on everything.
Including giving up on themselves.
"This slave trade looks glamorous on the surface, but who would have thought that behind the scenes, the slave pen would be like this..."
This point is completely different from the Immeasurable Bright King Sect.
The Immeasurable Bright King Sect, as Buddhism, emphasizes equality for all beings.
However, the actions of these monks are completely contrary to the teachings.
"No wonder the Sect Leader often says that the Shadow Realm is not in the reflection, but in the world."
"Isn't this a Shadow Realm in the world?"
Mi Qianmeng sighed.
The Shadow Realm in the Star Demon Sea's doctrine is similar to what other religions call hell.
And the scene in front of her, so soul-shaking, made her feel like she had stepped into the Shadow Realm in reality.
The Western Desert is very large.
So large that customs vary from place to place.
In some areas, the practice of keeping slaves is not prevalent.
While people in some areas regard slaves as important and legal property.
Within the sphere of influence of the Star Demon Sea, there are very few slaves.
So when Mi Qianmeng and the young man came to a place with such different customs like Liusha City this time, they couldn't help but feel their worldviews being impacted after seeing this way of treating slaves.
"Hey, unlock the locks!"
Mi Qianmeng ordered the young man.
The young man immediately stepped forward and took action.
Unexpectedly, he actually had the skill to pick locks.
None of the large locks on these iron cages and chains could stump him. He would insert a tool into the keyhole and twist, and the locks would fall off.
Soon, all the locks on the cages were removed.
Mi Qianmeng said loudly to the slaves:
"You are free now!"
"Run away quickly!"
But after she shouted for a long time, these slaves still looked dull.
They remained huddled in their cells, with no intention of leaving.
This left Mi Qianmeng and the young man puzzled, obviously unable to figure out what these slaves were thinking.
Liang Jin, concerned about the matter at hand, said:
"What's the use of them running away?"
"They won't be able to run a few miles before being caught back by slave hunters."
"No buying and selling, no harm. We have to kill all these people who trade slaves."
With that, Liang Jin left the back room and walked towards the front hall.
These words made Mi Qianmeng and the young man nod in agreement.
They immediately followed.
The back room was only separated from the front hall by a corridor.
At this time, the front hall was bustling with activity, with slaves being brought to the stage one by one for the crowd below to choose from.
Liang Jin and the others came to the edge of the corridor. Mi Qianmeng and the young man peeked outside.
Immediately.
Mi Qianmeng patted the young man:
"Throw a few Thunderbolt Fireballs into the crowd and scare these people away."
"Then, we'll go rob those slave owners!"
Liang Jin hurriedly stopped him upon hearing this:
"We can't do that!"
"We should throw the Thunderbolt Fireballs at the exit to seal it off first and prevent people from escaping."
If everyone ran away, how would Liang Jin kill people?
Although Liang Jin didn't know what the Thunderbolt Fireballs they were talking about were, he guessed they should be similar to grenades.
Judging from the Star Demon Sea's way of doing everything by any means, it should be similar.
These words made Mi Qianmeng and the young man look over in confusion.
Liang Jin pointed to the clothes and mask on his body and said:
"Someone killed so many slave owners last night, which has already caused these slave owners to offer a high reward, attracting many experts who want to kill people dressed like us."
"If we let these people escape and cause too much commotion."
"It will bring us danger."
The two nodded upon hearing this.
They almost forgot that they were imitating the slave owner killer who caused a big disturbance in Liusha City last night.
Imitation was to shift the blame after causing trouble.
Not to bring trouble upon themselves.
Mi Qianmeng even praised:
"You have a good head on your shoulders!"
Then, she patted the young man:
"Then use Thunderbolt Fireballs to seal the exit and throw smoke bombs into the crowd."
"There are so many people, don't hide your tools, release them all."
The young man immediately took action upon hearing this.
He reached into his arms with both hands and took out two dark, spherical objects.
Then, the young man threw the black spheres towards the exit of the slave market.
The black spheres exploded the moment they hit the ground.
"Boom!!!"
Along with a deafening roar, a flash of light burst out, and a cloud of smoke rose up.
A large amount of black liquid splashed out from the black spheres, and the black liquid quickly ignited in the explosion, burning vigorously like kerosene.
As the second Thunderbolt Fireball fell again, the fire immediately became fierce!
The door at the exit also burned, and the fire sealed the exit.
If people rushed out at this time, they would still have time.
However, this sudden change scared the crowd at the gate into squeezing inward, which immediately triggered a bandwagon effect.
Many people didn't know what was happening at the gate, but when they saw the people at the door fleeing inward in panic, they subconsciously followed.
The scene immediately fell into chaos, and even caused a stampede.
But the young man threw a few yellow spheres into the crowd again.
These yellow spheres also exploded when they hit the ground, but what burst out was a cloud of yellow ash and yellow smoke.
People shrouded in yellow smoke immediately felt weak all over, their minds numb, and they fell to the ground one after another, unconscious.
These smoke bombs seemed to only be effective for ordinary people and ninth-rank martial artists. People above the ninth rank seemed to be unaffected by this smoke.
The slave owners who were auctioning slaves on the stage hadn't recovered yet, and they were at a loss looking at the chaos on the scene.
Mi Qianmeng said with satisfaction:
"Okay, you two go to work."
"I'll take a break first. I'm really exhausted."
"When you come back with the money, I have to take the biggest share!"
The young man was immediately unhappy upon hearing this:
"Why?!"
He had been doing the hard work all the way, so why should Mi Qianmeng take the biggest share in the end?
Especially since Mi Qianmeng had only contributed once along the way, how could she be exhausted?
He was about to continue arguing!
But Liang Jin had already rushed out.
He first rushed to the high platform, and when his hand waved, the Youlong Sword was already in his hand, and several heads had already flown out.
"Say your name."
Liang Jin stared at the remaining slave owners and asked in a deep voice.
The slave owners were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they quickly said their names.
But as soon as they had time to say their names, Liang Jin waved the sword in his hand again.
The heads of those slave owners also moved their homes.
Too many people were killed last night, and Liang Jin often didn't have time to ask the other party's name before taking action, which led to many people's heads not being counted into the system.
Liang Jin felt very sorry after thinking about it.
So tonight, taking advantage of these two Star Demon Sea disciples helping him trap these people, he could have more time to ask their names.
Mi Qianmeng clicked her tongue in amazement upon seeing this:
"Look at him, how diligent and hardworking!"
"He's so busy killing people that he doesn't even bother to collect the money."
"Unlike some people, who only think about money, money, money, and only do the work but don't put in the effort."
"If he were to kill someone, I'm afraid he would only be busy picking up money."
As for where Liang Jin's sword came from, Mi Qianmeng didn't care.
For the disciples of the Star Demon Sea, it was normal to have a soft sword or a retractable sword or other weapons that were good at hiding.
The young man turned red with shame upon hearing this, but he was also so angry that he was smoking.
He snorted coldly and could only jump out and join the battlefield.
Mi Qianmeng lazily found a chair to sit down, put a long leg on the armrest, and took out a bag of spiced melon seeds from her arms and started eating them.
But soon, Mi Qianmeng suddenly sat up straight, her eyes widened in surprise:
"This guy... has such a great killing intent?!"
Liang Jin jumped off the high platform after killing the slave owners and plunged into the crowd.
"Those who report their names will not be killed!"
Liang Jin shouted loudly after cutting down a few people.
Many people, in fear, said their names one after another.
Liang Jin seemed to really intend to let these people go, and then killed the others who were unwilling to register.
Where he passed, broken limbs and arms flew everywhere.
As a divine weapon, the Youlong Sword was naturally extremely sharp, and human bones were as easy to cut as grass in front of it.
This scared the others so much that they didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly said their names.
But Liang Jin just said lightly:
"For evil people, there is no need to keep faith."
After saying that, the long sword in his hand immediately killed those who had registered.
Only then did these people realize that Liang Jin had broken his promise, and they hurriedly fled in fright.
But how could they escape Liang Jin's speed?
He was like a lawn mower, reaping lives wherever he went.
The whole scene quickly became extremely bloody.
Even the young man couldn't help but stop and ask in confusion:
"Aren't we here to rob money?"
"Why does it feel like this guy... came here specifically to kill people?"
From the beginning, Liang Jin had not shown any interest in money.
He didn't even bother to touch the corpses after killing people, and went straight to the next target.
It was as if there was only human life in his eyes!
