Chapter 678: Putting a Slave Ring on them
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
“Mines? Who are you people?” Sima You Le asked.
“Who are we?” Ol’ Wu tilted his head back in laughter, “You only ask who we are when you’ve reached this place? Ha ha ha-”
“If we didn’t know who you were, would we have been tricked by that lady and led here?” Fatty Qu snorted coldly, “Tell us. I don’t kill nameless people.”
“Just based on you few babies?” Ol’ Wu laughed so hard he almost let go of his long smoke poly, “I’ll tell you. This is the Great Mountain Gorge. We are the biggest sect in the great mountain gorge- the Brave Moon Sect. This is our mine.”
“There are so many people in this mine? There’s even a city?”
“This place is where all the people who dig the mine live in. He he, now that you’re here, you’d better obediently become our miners instead of living a life of suffering.” Ol’ Wu took out a paper cigarette and rolled it, placed it in his smoke pole and took two deep breaths before laughing coldly.
“Just based on people like you, and you want to kidnap us?” Sima You Ran took out his spirit tool and pointed it at Ol’ Wu.
Ol’ Wu glanced at Little Seven, saying, “This little brat is truly surprising, but we are the Brave Moon Sect.”
He took out a whistle and blew, and a group of black clothed men appeared from within the city immediately and surrounded them.
“These people aren’t bad.” Sima You Yue said, “Old man, do you have a teleportation array here?”
“Of course. We are the most powerful in the entire great mountain gorge. How could we not possess a teleportation array? However, even if we have a teleportation array, you guys will have no way to use it. You will have to remain here your entire lives to help us dig the mountain. Go! Put the slave rings on them.”
Ol’ Wu’s voice turned icy as those people took out a silver necklace and headed towards the people in the center.
At this moment, a huge warship suddenly appeared that looked like a giant yacht in the sky.
The warship landed at the city gate and a person appeared on the deck brandishing a whip. Following which, a group of people wearing silver necklaces appeared from the deck. Every single one of them lowered their heads and shoulders, looking extremely tired.
At this moment, the city gates opened and another group of people walked in from outside. They also wore silver necklaces and everyone of them appeared apathetic, as if they couldn’t see any hope of tomorrow.
As for their necklaces, it was exactly the same as the ones held in the hand by those surrounding them.
“Slave Ring!” Fatty Qu immediately recognised that item.
“Fatty Qu, you recognise it?”
“Once that item is put on, as long as it isn’t taken off, you’ll forever have the identity of a slave. Everyone will know that they are slaves by the necklace they wear. Also, most people can just kill any slave. Every power possess something like this. Once it’s placed on you, it can suppress your strength and it isn’t easy to take it off.”
Sima You Yue looked at those on and off the ship, and they really did seem to be rather strong, but they were still listening to that slave driver obediently.
When everyone who had left the city had boarded, the one on the ship cupped his fist towards Ol’ Wu, asking, “Ol’ Wu, do you want to take these people over as well?”
Ol’ Wu waved his hands at them, “These guys haven’t been trained. You can go off first.”
“Okay.”
The new ones who had been brought over by the warship had left as well. Sima You Yue’s eyes narrowed as she continued to watch the ship, eyes suffused with curiosity.
Fatty Qu just happened to be beside her and said when he saw the interest in her eyes, “This kind of ship can contain many people and can fly in the sky. It also has very strong defensive capabilities. However, it’s extremely hard to forge and needs a lot of materials. It’s not something that most people can make.”
“Can you make it?”
Fatty Qu shook his head, “Maybe in another ten years.”
Sima You Yue looked at Fatty Qu with approval. A ship like this was obviously something extremely difficult to make. However, this guy had confidently declared that he would be able to make something like this in ten years. He was truly bold, not bad. Not bad indeed.
“Fifth Bro, we can talk later. What do we do with these guys?” Sima you Le asked.
“Didn’t they want to put those slave rings on us? We can just put it on them.” Sima You Yue said, “Those people were all wearing it, and I doubt it was done willingly. We should help them out.”
Sima You Yue didn’t put on any pretenses this time as she directly called all those old guys out from her Spirit Pagoda. The previous time, some had gone with Little Roc and these few remained.
Once those old guys appeared, the guys who appeared after were totally not a match for them. Furthermore, those who were there from the beginning were weak to begin with and they were completely wiped out by Sima You Yue and the others.
“Young Master, it’s been done. Do you want to kill them?” Honor Roc asked.
Sima You Yue thought about it, then shook her head, saying, “Let’s take them into the city first. We’ll talk after seeing the situation inside.”
Of course, only the few of them remained alive after the battle. The others had already been killed during their fight. Sima You Yue set up a fire and burned those corpses clean and neatly.
When those guys felt how hot it was, they couldn’t help but think of that creature inside the spirit pagoda.
They initially followed Sima You Yue because they wanted to protect Little Roc, but who would have thought that she actually had the real divine bird, their true king!
After she had finished incinerating them, Sima You Yue waved her hands and the flames returned to her hands. She toyed with the flames in her hand and sneered at Ol’ Wu, watching as he dripped with cold sweat.
“Let’s go in.” Sima You Ran said.
“Wait a moment.” Little Seven voiced out to stop them and ran one round around the place. After that, she arrived in front of the living people and put the slave rings that she had picked up from the ground and put it on them.
“Let’s go.” She clapped her hands and smiled at her actions satisfactorily.
Sima You Yue pinched her little face, saying, “Let’s go. We’ll take a look at their teleportation array.”
Each person led one of them as they entered the city. The moment they entered it, they realised that the inside didn’t seem like a city at all. There was only rows and rows of houses, and people who appeared like nothing more than walking lumps of meat walked down the streets.
A group of patrollers happened to walk past and saw that they had captured Ol’ Wu, so they immediately dashed over. However, before they even reached Sima You Yue, they were cleaned up by Honor Roc and the rest.
Those lifeless people only now slowly came over. When they saw that they had captured Ol’ Wu and killed so many patrollers, their wooden expressions finally shone with a glimmer of expression.
“Hero, save us!” A boy wearing tattered clothing dashed in front of sima You Yue. Seeing the look in his eyes, he must not have been here for long, which was why he was still thinking of rebelling and how to escape.
However, for the others, they merely looked over and had no plans of crying for help.
Someone even cautioned him otherwise.
“Kid, you should come back. Many like them came before, but none succeeded. Then, those who escaped were even killed.”
