Gengjin City is the only main city and the largest city in the Western Region. It is also known as the Metal City and is also the most prosperous place in the Western Region.
It is noisy and lively here, and all kinds of people gather here. There are heinous gangsters and defectors from various major sects. Everyone is not simple. They have either killed many people or are the targets of many people. Even the thieves and pickpockets here It's not simple either. None of the merchants hawking on the street are simple characters.
Here, strength speaks for itself. Whether you are an unscrupulous villain or a rude and rude man, as long as you can survive in this city, you will definitely have a few tricks up your sleeve.
There are always rubbing shoulders among pedestrians, and fights are common, but the strange thing is that they don't use combat skills or cultivation, they just rely on hand-to-hand combat, and using knives is a common thing.
Most of the people on the street are ferocious-looking people who don't look easy to mess with. Of course, there are also some cloaks to cover pedestrians who don't want to show up. A few practitioners who are single and weak also carry weapons on their backs, exposing them to the outside world to intimidate others. .
"Boss, how do you sell this?"
"Thirty thousand crystal stones, no child can be deceived!"
"Damn! It's so expensive! You black businessman!"
"Little brother, if you buy it, give me money. If you don't buy it, don't disturb my business!"
After leaving the stall, the cloaked girl curled her lips and said:
"This Gengjin City really has no order at all, and the city lord here doesn't care!"
"Stop complaining. We are here to exchange for the ninth-level demon core from the Weapon Refining Sect. It is none of our business how the Gengjin City goes into chaos."
"I just can't stand it! A good city has turned into a gathering place for gangsters and gangsters."
"Gengjin City has the rules of Gengjin City. The Western Region is a place of chaos, so it is normal for things like this here. But I am very confused as to why the Artifact Refining Sect built its sect in Gengjin City. There are so many people here. , is it safe for the sect to be built here?”
"I once heard my father mention that there was an Artifact Refining Sect first and then Gengjin City. What exactly happened? I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so I didn't pay attention to it."
The girl in the cloak stuck out her tongue playfully, indicating that she only knew so much. The man in the cloak next to her was also helpless. He thought the girl would know, but he also had only a partial understanding.
The man and woman chatting were Ye Hong and Murong Jingxue, who had recently entered the city. Because the whole area of Gengjin City is covered by a special spiritual weapon, all the elemental power is evacuated and the internal power is restricted. No one who enters it can use cultivation. Murong Jingxue is no exception, and the natural concealment technique cannot be used. In order to For safety reasons, she had no choice but to cover up Murong Jingxue's beautiful appearance with a cloak, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
And why she had to wear a cloak was just because of Murong Jingxue's strong request to wear it even if she wanted to wear it, otherwise she wouldn't wear it either. Regarding this unreasonable request, in order to save Murong Jingxue from causing trouble to herself, Ye Hong I have no choice but to be satisfied.
Gengjin City was unable to use its internal power, and Ye Hong himself was the same, but he found that the restraint on him was limited, and he was not like Murong Jingxue who couldn't use it at all, because his physical power was not affected. I guess the same is true for everyone else, after all, those with strong bodies seem to have an advantage here.
After coming to Gengjin City, I learned a lot of things that I didn't know before, and I also saw many sights that I had never seen before. For example, there is a rule in Gengjin City. Alchemists are not allowed to enter. The streets are full of blacksmith shops. Cultivation does not work here. Strength depends on weapons. Therefore, in Gengjin City, having good weapons is more useful than anything else. The identity of a blacksmith naturally makes him particularly noble. As for why alchemists are not allowed to enter, this is very puzzling.
In addition, the phenomenon of slave trading is very common in Gengjin City. There are not only human traffickers, those who sell children and girls, but also demon dealers, those who sell demon beast cubs, and those who sell captured demon beasts. They are all openly selling. There is no humanity at all, but the most common ones are snake traders. There are all kinds of snake people, male and female, in the black iron cages.
Because I had encountered a snake man before and almost lost my life, I was particularly curious about this snake man. After inquiring, the two learned that the snake-people were a species between half-human and half-demon. They had vertical pupils and snake teeth that were only found in snake-like monsters. This was the most obvious feature;
The second is their snake tails. Because the snake people have weak bloodline of monsters nowadays, the average snake people do not have snake tails. Their snake tails have long been replaced by feet. Only a very small number of snake people still have snake tails, but even if they have snake tails , they can also freely transform between snake tails and human feet. This may be the only talent given to them by their blood.
As for the origin of the snake people, it is said that the ninth-level desert king snake took the form of a human and fell in love with a human, giving birth to a half-human, half-demon child. That child was the first generation of snake people. Later, the first generation of snake people continued to reproduce and reproduce. After tens of thousands of years, , the current snake people are all descendants of the first generation of snake people.
Because of their mixed blood, the snake people have both human and monster blood, so they are half human and half monster. They move quickly, and their skin and flesh are harder than ordinary humans. It can be said that they are born with different characteristics. An ordinary person's physique.
But because of this, their meridians are not as tough as monster beasts, and the pattern of their meridians is also different from that of humans. Therefore, they can neither cultivate their bodies like monster beasts, nor can they practice human skills. As a result, their snake-human tribe is weak and has no self-control. The power of protection.
The Snake Tribe has also inherited the genes of the Desert King Snake, and its women are often beautiful, snake-like, and weak and boneless. They are deeply loved by men on the mainland and have become the targets of hunting by the majority of practitioners. Because the Snake Tribe has no strong tribesmen, the group is weak. Nowadays, the Snake Tribe has completely become a profit-trading tool for various merchants. As slaves, they can be bought and sold freely. Their life and death can no longer be decided by themselves.
Snakes are inherently obscene. Snake people with the blood of snake monsters are the same regardless of whether they are male or female. After being used as sex slaves, female snake slaves will not only not resist, but will also cater to them. This makes people unable to stop, and they themselves can't stop it. You will get stuck in it and be unable to extricate yourself, and it is particularly easy to tame. Snake men also have strong sexual desires, and a few will be used as objects of sexual pleasure by some people, but most of them will still be used for breeding, allowing him to mate with women of the same race or human female slaves so that they can produce offspring. More women of good breed with snake blood can be sold at a better price.
The snake people were used as a trading item, and the entire race was enslaved, which can be said to have an extremely tragic fate. Even though he was almost killed by the snake-man before, he now felt sympathy for the snake-man in his heart.
Ye Hong was like this, let alone Murong Jingxue. As a saintly girl from the Light Cult who was extremely kind-hearted, she had great sympathy for the weak. After coming to Gengjin City in the Western Region, she developed a strong sense of justice in her heart. He wanted to save these enslaved weaklings, stop this chaos, and restore light to Gengjin City.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing!"
"These people should not be treated as trading items! They are not items that can be traded. It is wrong for you to do this! It is simply inhumane!" Murong Jingxue said to the traffickers while forcefully opening the cages that bound the slaves. The Lord replied.
"Who do you think you are! You dare to control the business here! After selling slaves for so many years, this is the first time I have seen someone taking care of me! I won't teach you a lesson today and let you know the rules here. I am not called Wang Laowu!" The master rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach this nosy little girl who came out of nowhere to teach her a lesson.
Seeing this, Ye Hong quickly stood up to stop him and apologized to the vendor.
"I'm sorry, boss. It's my friend who just came to Gengjincheng and is ignorant. I'll apologize to you. This is the spar that bought these slaves. Please keep it!"
Seeing the large bag of crystal stones handed over by Ye Hong, the vendor relaxed, his face became slightly better, and he snorted coldly and said:
"I hope you know some rules! Take him away!"
The dealer no longer pursues the case, and Ye Hong can also breathe a sigh of relief. The strong dragon will not suppress the local snake. He is new to Gengjin City and is not familiar with the place. There is no need to cause trouble. Of course, it is best to solve the problem with money. .
Ye Hong thought so, but Murong Jingxue didn't think the same way as Ye Hong. It would have been nice not to beat up these dealers, but to give them the spar, Murong Jingxue didn't want to give even half of it.
"Why did you give them the spar!"
"My aunt, this is Gengjin City, in the Western Region. I know that the Guangming Sect is very powerful, but in other people's territory it is better to keep a low profile and not cause trouble."
"Why are you so cowardly! Are you afraid of what he will do!" Murong Jingxue said angrily.
Ye Hong explained: "You can't use your cultivation skills in Gengjin City. Aren't I afraid that you will suffer a loss? Just endure the calm for a while and take a step back to see the sea and the sky. Listen to me. You have to rescue these people. We will spend some crystals to buy them." Just come down and don't conflict with them. Xue'er, okay?"
After some hard persuasion, Murong Jingxue finally agreed to Ye Hong's approach, and then bought all the slaves sold in the city, spending a large sum of crystal stones. If ordinary people really couldn't afford this expense, Only Murong Jingxue dared to be so arrogant.
Seeing the crystals that Murong Jingxue kept throwing out, Ye Hong felt like his heart was bleeding. No wonder Ye Hong was like this, because all the crystals that Murong Jingxue took out were from him. If he had known that he would not Should I say what I said just now, the one who gets hurt is still myself.
Murong Jingxue released all the slaves from their cages, crushed the life soul tablets given by the dealer, clapped her hands and said:
"Okay! You are free now! You no longer have to be enslaved!"
"this……"
The freed slaves were at a loss and looked at each other with expressions of astonishment on their faces. They didn't understand why Murong Jingxue bought them and then released them without any reason.
Murong Jingxue's actions also puzzled the slave traders. When Murong Jingxue crushed the life and soul tablets of the slaves, it had been announced that these slaves would no longer be controlled and would become free. This was the first time I saw someone releasing a purchased slave, it was simply unheard of.
"Ha! I'm afraid this guy has something wrong with his brain! The slaves he bought at a huge price can be released as soon as he wants."
The ridicule from the people around her fell on Murong Jingxue's ears, but she didn't care. She just felt that she had done what she wanted to do and should do, and she didn't feel there was anything wrong.
Facing all the slaves, Murong Jingxue showed a smile on her face, holy and pure, with no extra impurities in her shining eyes.
"I said you can leave. You can go wherever you want! You are now free." Seeing that the slaves did not move, Murong Jingxue said again.
"Really? I'm not dreaming, am I? You said you would set us free?"
Seeing Murong Jingxue nodding in response, confirming that he was not lying, some of them were immediately ecstatic. The feeling of regaining freedom was something they had not seen for a long time, and they were naturally excited at this moment.
