Chapter 2562: Chapter 2582: The Thriving Slave Market

"You tell me what to do, and I’ll do it!"

Enchanting Heart Daoist nodded without any hesitation, "But you must first swear a Major Oath, that if I do as you say, you will let me leave safely in the end, and won’t send anyone to kill me."

"You’re quite cautious."

Lin Chen honestly replied, "I can swear, but I can let you know without a doubt that you won’t be able to keep your strength. It’s impossible for me to let you keep your strength and harm others."

Enchanting Heart Daoist became anxious, "If you cripple me, what’s the difference from killing me?"

"The difference is that you’re still alive."

Lin Chen calmly said, "It seems you’re not willing; then let’s forget it. I’ll find someone else who is willing to cooperate."

As Lin Chen raised his hand, Sword Qi coiled around his fingertips. Just when his finger was about to touch Enchanting Heart Daoist’s forehead, the Daoist hastily shouted, "Wait!"

Lin Chen indifferently said, "Forced melons are not sweet, don’t force yourself."

"Forced melons are not sweet, but they can quench thirst!"

Enchanting Heart Daoist yelled, "I agree! Isn’t it alright if I agree?"

Lin Chen withdrew his finger and smiled, "Then I’ll give you an opportunity. There are two of us, I am a Lower-grade Great Luo Immortal; she just entered the Top Grade not long ago. You come up with a good plan for us – how can we annihilate your sect."

Enchanting Heart Daoist looked incredulous, "I come up with the plan?"

Lin Chen naturally answered, "You know Black Tower City best, of course it’s you who should come up with the plan. Don’t even think about playing tricks; if something happens to us, you will be the first to die – Ashes to Ashes kind."

Enchanting Heart Daoist’s face turned bitter, thinking how unlucky he was.

How did he provoke these two fiends?

Not only did he fall into their hands, but instead of accepting his ransom, they planned to annihilate his entire sect!

"The other Martial Uncles are negotiable, but my master is a Pinnacle Daluo Supreme Immortal, and she just entered the Top Grade – how are we supposed to fight that?"

Lin Chen asked, "Is the Cultivation Technique your master practices very powerful? Is it considered strong amongst other Pinnacle Daluo Supreme Immortals?"

Enchanting Heart Daoist shook his head, "The technique is alright, not top-tier, and in terms of strength, it’s average."

Lin Chen nodded, "Then we can give it a try. Keep thinking about the plan."

After pondering for a moment, Enchanting Heart Daoist said, "Black Tower City has a Protective Array, and my master can manipulate the array’s power to attack invaders. If you want to kill him, you can only lure him out of Black Tower City."

Lin Chen’s eyes showed encouragement, "Good thinking, continue."

Enchanting Heart Daoist, looking into Lin Chen’s eyes, felt utterly desperate, wondering what kind of demons these two were.

"I’ll first draw out that Middle-grade Daluo Supreme Immortal Uncle Master, and if you can control him, he can invite two Lower-grade Daluo Immortal Uncle Masters out. After you kill them, finally lure out my master..."

Enchanting Heart Daoist looked at Lin Chen, "But you must ensure you control them without letting them escape; otherwise, luring out my master again will be difficult."

Lin Chen agreed briskly, "Alright, let’s do that... First, transfer the ownership of this Magical Treasure to me."

Enchanting Heart Daoist, swallowing his heartache, erased the Branding he had left on the treasure and transferred the ownership to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen imprinted his Spiritual Imprint into the Building Magical Treasure, establishing a connection, his Divine Sense sweeping throughout the entire treasure.

"Is there someone else in the room?"

Enchanting Heart Daoist, with a pained expression, said, "That person was captured by me a few days ago. After I catch people, I lock them up, and when there’s enough of them, I sell them off all at once..."

"To whom do you sell them?"

Enchanting Heart Daoist answered, "To traffickers, they take people back, train them well, and after imposing restrictions, they sell them to others."

"In Western Hell, a human life is as worthless as Grass; Immortal Cultivators are the same. Once captured and enslaved, their lives are no longer in their own hands, bound to be slaves for a lifetime."

"Wealthy families, City Lords, and the like, all purchase slaves. These slaves, once bought, can serve, fight, or do tasks for their Master, proving to be quite useful."

Lin Chen curiously asked, "What method do the traffickers use to control these slaves?"

Enchanting Heart Daoist answered, "A blood oath combined with a soul shackle. Life in Western Hell is harsh, and people’s souls are stronger than in other regions, leading to more profound research into souls. Once a Cultivator is shackled by a soul shackle, their life is entirely in the hands of their master, and they absolutely cannot defy the master’s orders, or they will die immediately, in a particularly gruesome manner."

Lin Chen frowned, "Soul Association?"

Enchanting Heart Daoist nodded, "Yes, the soul shackle is one of their research results. The emergence of soul shackles has truly prospered the slave trade. After all, with this device, slaves can only be obedient and won’t bite back at their master."
