Lin Feng had no idea what had happened after he had left the restaurant. Even though he had a little bit of a sixth sense, he had never sensed that a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer was following him.
Lin Feng hadn’t realized that Meng Qing was also following him the whole time. She had been following him since the moment when he left the Celestial Academy. She had never once left his side.
Lin Feng had put on his silver mask again, which gave him a majestic and cold appearance. He wasn’t the only one for whom that was the case; it was the same for Ba Dao, who was on his side, who was now wearing a bronze mask. Ba Dao looked ferocious and savage, especially when wearing the bronze mask.
“Ba Dao, except for auctions and fights to the death, are there other places where cultivation slaves of the Prisoner Arena end up?” asked Lin Feng while walking down the street.
“Yes.” muttered Ba Dao irresolutely. He then immediately nodded and said: “No need to talk about those who have already died in the arena. The ones who are docile and obedient enough are allowed to stay inside their cages to be sold. Those who aren’t sold at an auction will eventually be sent to the black market. Many of them are sold on the black market to people who need cultivation slaves.”
Lin Feng looked at Ba Dao. It was clear that he was very stubborn and hardly the docile type.
“Where can we buy slaves?” asked Lin Feng.
“I don’t know.” replied Ba Dao while shaking his head. He then added: “I have never been a witness to slaves being bought before. I am just familiar with what happened to me.”
Lin Feng looked pensive. Then, Yi Xue, who was standing on his side, said: “There is a slave exchange where you can purchase slaves, it’s widely known in this district. The wealthy and noble cultivators go to the slave exchange when they need slaves. They can exchange purity stones or other items and receive slaves.”
“Exchange?” Lin Feng was surprised. Surprisingly, there were places called slave exchanges.
“Yi Xue, take me to the slave exchange.” said Lin Feng indifferently.
Yi Xue was surprised. She looked at Lin Feng and immediately nodded: “Alright.”
They immediately started walking. Soon, they had arrived at the slave exchange.
Lin Feng could already see the slave exchange from a distance, as the roads of the city were vast and wide. When he saw the slave exchange, his pupils shrank.
On both sides of the road, there was a large number of cages with slaves inside. Their powerful masters were sitting there looking indifferent, waiting for people to come and buy their slaves.
In that place, slaves were like animals. There was nothing humane about the slave exchange.
These slaves were war prisoners, prisoners sentenced to death, or people who had offended an influential clan. For example, those who had survived the massacre of the Yun Hai Sect had been turned into slaves by Duan Tian Lang. These survivors were humiliated and maltreated to the extent that they wished that they could die. Many of them did.
Besides, the exchange marketplace was very busy. People were unceasingly walking on the central road and buying slaves. There were some very strong slaves and they belonged to the noble families that had purchased them.
