The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2582 The Flourishing Slave Market

"I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"

Without any hesitation, the Enchanting Taoist nodded decisively: "But you must first swear a solemn oath that if I do as you say, you will let me leave safely and will not instruct others to kill me."

"You're quite cautious."

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I can swear, but I can tell you unequivocally that you can't keep your strength. I can't possibly leave you with your strength to harm others."

The Bewitching Taoist became anxious: "If you cripple me, what's the difference between that and killing me?"

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

Lin Chen calmly said, "It seems you're unwilling. In that case, I'll find someone else who's willing to cooperate."

Lin Chen raised his hand, sword energy swirling around his fingertips. Just as he pointed his finger at the brow of the Bewitching Taoist, the Bewitching Taoist shouted urgently, "Wait!"

Lin Chen said calmly, "Forced relationships are never sweet; don't force yourself."

"A forced melon isn't sweet, but it quenches your thirst!"

The Bewitching Taoist shouted, "I promise! I promise, isn't that enough?"

Lin Chen withdrew his finger and smiled, "Then I'll give you a chance. There are two of us. I am a low-grade Grand Luo Immortal, and she has only recently entered the high-grade realm. You give us a good idea on how to destroy your sect."

The Enchanted Taoist looked on incredulously: "I need to find a way?"

Lin Chen replied matter-of-factly, "You know Black Tower City best, so of course you should figure something out. Don't get any funny ideas. If anything happens to us, you'll be the first one to die, wiped out completely."

The Taoist Master of Bewitching Hearts looked bitter, wondering why he was so unlucky.

How did we end up provoking these two devils?

Not only did he suffer a defeat, but the other party not only refused his request to redeem himself, but also planned to destroy his entire sect!
"The other senior uncles are fine, but my master is a peak Great Luo Immortal, while she has just entered the upper rank. How can she fight like this?"

Lin Chen asked, "Is your master's cultivation technique very powerful? Is it considered powerful among peak Grand Luo Immortals?"

The Enchanting Taoist shook his head: "The cultivation technique is alright, not top-tier, and the strength is just average."

Lin Chen nodded: "Then we can give it a try. Let's continue thinking about the plan." The Bewitching Taoist pondered for a moment and said: "There are protective formations in Black Tower City. My master can also control the power of the formations to attack intruders. If we want to kill him, we can only lure him away from Black Tower City."

Lin Chen's eyes showed encouragement: "Good idea, continue."

Looking into Lin Chen's eyes, the Bewitching Taoist felt utterly hopeless. What kind of little devils were these?

"I'll lure out that mid-grade Grand Luo Immortal uncle first. If you can control him, you can get him to come out and invite two low-grade Grand Luo Immortal uncles out. Then kill them, and finally lure out my master..."

The Enchanting Taoist looked at Lin Chen and said, "But you must make sure you control them and don't let them escape. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to lure my master out again."

Lin Chen readily agreed, "Okay, let's do it this way... You first hand over ownership of this magic weapon to me."

Despite his heartache, the Enchanting Taoist erased the mark he had left on the magic weapon and handed over ownership of it to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen imprinted his mental mark on the architectural artifact, establishing a connection, and then scanned the entire artifact with his divine sense.

"Is there anyone else in the house?"

The Taoist Master of Bewitching Hearts said with a bitter face, "Those are the people I captured a few days ago. After capturing them, I will lock them up, and when there are more of them, I will sell them all at once..."

"To whom?"

The Taoist Master of Bewitching Mind replied, "Human traffickers. They take people back, train and restrain them, and then sell them to others."

"The lives of people in the Western Prison are as cheap as grass, and the same goes for cultivators. Once captured and enslaved, their lives are no longer in their own hands, and they will be slaves for life."

“Wealthy families, city lords and so on will buy slaves. After these slaves are bought, they can serve their masters, fight for their masters, and do things for their masters. They are very useful.”

Lin Chen asked curiously, "What methods do human traffickers use to control these slaves?"

The Enchanting Taoist replied, "In addition to the blood oath and soul shackles, the Western Prison has a harsh environment, so people there have stronger souls than those in other places. Therefore, their research on the soul is also very profound. Once a cultivator is shackled with soul shackles, their life is in the hands of their master, and they will never disobey their master's orders. Otherwise, they will die a miserable death immediately."

Lin Chen frowned: "Soul Spirit Association?"

The Enchanting Taoist nodded; "Yes, the Soul Shackles are one of their research results. It was because of the appearance of the Soul Shackles that the slave market truly flourished. After all, with this thing, slaves can only obey and will not turn against their masters."
