In the distance, a group of people were in a heated argument, which Ye Luo didn’t care much about at first.

But when he saw a familiar figure, he immediately narrowed his eyes and walked over.

"Hey, you dare to hoard such goods? Don’t you know your own weight?"

"Don’t tell us that whoever sees it first has the right. It’s whoever’s fist wins that truly matters!"

"With your kind of ability and no backing, you want to monopolize such a rare treasure?"

A group of slave traders surrounded a middle-aged man, spitting insults at him.

This middle-aged man, naturally also a slave trader, really wasn’t that strong, and he seemed to be alone.

Beside him stood several filthy slaves, among them a delicate silhouette. Despite her tattered clothing and being covered in dirt, her astonishing beauty was undeniable.

Moreover, such a scenario evoked even more of a sense of pity.

"You can have her, but you have to name a price!" the middle-aged man said, frowning.

"A price? If you had known your place earlier, we’d have given you some benefits! But now, what do you say, guys?"

"Say what, just kill him!"

Having said that, they attacked the middle-aged man.

He didn’t expect them to resort to violence so quickly. Surrounded and outmatched, he died with barely a confrontation.

Generally speaking, merchants are rarely so ruthless with one another. These slave traders constantly supplied some big families or powerful factions with slaves, and over time, they would gain favor with powerful figures. No one knows who stands behind these slave traders.

But this middle-aged man was different. He was completely new to the trade, having just entered it, and merely got lucky, finding an exceptional slave.

But it cost him his life.

"Well, guys, how are we going to split this one?" a chubby man asked with a grin.

"Hehe, such a rare find isn’t often seen. Maybe we should let her serve us first!"

"I agree. She’d be ruined in the hands of those powerful figures anyway!"

This suggestion was immediately accepted, and they turned their eyes to the woman.

Suddenly, Liu Mei’s expression changed.

If she were at her full strength, she might not have been able to kill these beasts, but there was a good chance of escaping. However, after barely surviving the destruction of Kunwu Sect, her injuries were severe.

Now, any cultivator could end her life.

Of course, she wasn’t afraid of death; she was afraid that before dying, she wouldn’t see that person anymore.

Moreover, she was terrified of being violated by these beasts.

Thus, she was ready to take her own life. Her hand was pressed against her life gate, ready to exert force and let her soul scatter, body destroyed.

However, these slave traders wouldn’t be so easily dealt with. After all, slaves always resist. So, they have many methods to handle slaves.

"Hehe, sweetheart, don’t struggle. Our skills are quite good. Plus, I’ve already used a Binding Immortal Rope on you. Even dying is impossible now!" one slaver said with a wicked smile.

The Binding Immortal Rope wasn’t rare. Every slave trader had one, and it was very effective. Once tied up, even suicide was out of the question.

Of course, this was aimed at those who were heavily injured or cultivators of lower realms. If it were Ye Luo, he’d break free in no time.

Even at her peak, Liu Mei wouldn’t have cared about the Binding Immortal Rope, but being gravely injured now, once bound, she was immobilized.

Clearly, this wasn’t the first time these slavers had done this. Immediately, they threw a talisman character, creating an independent space around them. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Slave traders, upon encountering a woman with good looks, naturally wanted to enjoy her themselves before sending her to the powerful figures.

After all, women with some beauty weren’t uncommon, and those powerful figures wouldn’t scrutinize such details.

Liu Mei was truly frightened, feeling utterly helpless.

"Please let me go. I’ll give you many treasures. I was part of the Liu Family!" Liu Mei pleaded.

Even if someone were to kill her, she wouldn’t flinch, but the current situation was more dreadful than death.

"Haha, very well. After we enjoy, we’ll claim the Liu Family’s treasures!" the slaver chuckled.

"You shameless!" Liu Mei trembled with anger.

A woman like her, unused to the world’s affairs, was no match for these seasoned rogues.

"Haha, shameless? Even worse things are yet to come!"

With that, the slavers laughed and lunged forward.

Liu Mei shut her eyes in despair, tears falling.

She regretted not dying with him back then! She regretted not giving herself to him!

The more she thought, the more her heart ached as if cut by a knife.

"You’re courting death!" a cold voice suddenly echoed in the space.

The slavers were startled, knowing the talisman could block powerful searches, let alone transmitting sound.

Their first thought was that a powerful expert had arrived.

But they remained unfazed, having weathered many storms.

"Friend, let’s talk. Do you want a share, or something else? Just let us know!" one slaver said calmly.

But Liu Mei’s eyes were already brimming with tears, even wondering if she was dreaming.

She wasn’t dreaming.

Ye Luo appeared before her, gazing at her gently.

The slavers, seeing a young man threatening them, were furious.

Nonetheless, they didn’t underestimate Ye Luo, knowing he wasn’t average to slip into this space unnoticed.

"Young man, maybe you don’t know who we are. Don’t think having some skill lets you do as you please!"

Ye Luo smirked coldly, finally turning his head.

"I remember you said I just need to tell you what I want, right?"

The slavers paused, then grinned mockingly and contemptuously.

After all, he was just after wealth. For slave traders, abundance of Immortal Stones was a given.
