Chapter 97 Is that still a human being?

There are not many people underground in Danshi City.

After all, Shangguan Cang doesn't trust outsiders, and all those who can come here to work are from the Shangguan lineage.

Even if it has been passed down for thousands of years.

But the number of people in a family is limited after all.

Especially since the space here is so large, I haven't met anyone else along the way except for a few people I saw sporadically.

As for those people, Ye Liuyun used his immobilization technique to freeze them all in place.

"There are so many medicinal pills here!"

Soon, Ye Liuyun and others arrived at the location where the pills were stored.

Looking at the cabinets filled with marked pills piled high up around him, Hang Qian couldn't help but sigh.

The further you go inside, the more pills you can see.

"This amount is more than our Hailan Sect's medicinal reserves!"

As a top-level sect, Hailan Sect also has a large stockpile of elixirs, and it also purchases elixirs from other places every month.

The number of elixirs here is several times more than what their Hailan Sect has in stock.

"It's normal!"

Ye Liuyun, on the other hand, didn't find anything strange about this situation.

It would be more surprising if there weren't so many pills.

"Alchemist City is able to trade elixirs with so many immortal sects and wealthy immortal cultivation families. If the reserves of elixirs are not enough, it will not work!"

Ye Liuyun estimated that more than half of the space in this underground space was used to store these pills.

Hang Qian looked surprised.

Although Feng Qianqin didn't show it so obviously, she was also looking at the pills around her with a surprised look.

After walking for a while, Hang Qian's interest was obviously not as high as before.

"How come they are just some low-level pills!"

Perhaps to facilitate distinction, the name and grade of the corresponding elixir are written on each cabinet where elixirs are stored. At a glance, all of them are around grade seven or eight.

There isn't even one that's above the sixth rank.

"The important elixir should be hidden!"

Ye Liuyun didn't need to explain these, Feng Qianqin had already analyzed and given the answers.

Since it is a precious elixir, it would naturally not be placed here. It is probably hidden in some secret place.

[Speaking of which, the second-grade alchemist back then should have also refined quite a few second-grade and third-grade pills! ]

There are none of the first grade, but there should be quite a few of the second and third grades.

Even though a thousand years have passed, and many of these pills have been used up by the descendants of the Shangguan lineage, there must be some left.

Ye Liuyun estimated that the location of these remaining pills was probably only known by Shangguan Cang, the current head of the Shangguan lineage.

Second grade, third grade?
Hearing Ye Liuyun's words, Hang Qian's eyes rolled around, and he was already thinking in his mind how to get these pills.

,,,

Although this underground space is large, there are only a few areas.

After passing through the area where the pills are stored.

Ye Liuyun and others came to a place that looked like an underground prison.

The surroundings were eerie and only the scattered candlesticks on the wall could emit a faint light.

"here it is?"

Suddenly seeing such a place, both Hang Qian and Feng Qianqin subconsciously looked towards Ye Liuyun.

Although the cages nearby were empty, Ye Liuyun had already frowned.

[If I’m not mistaken, these cages are used to imprison the children captured by Alchemist City! ]

Thinking of this, Ye Liuyun's face darkened, but he didn't say anything on the surface.

Just a simple statement.

"Keep going and see!"

After saying that, he took the lead and walked in front. Feng Qianqin and Hang Qian behind him looked at each other and understood what Ye Liuyun meant, and quickly followed. After passing through several cages.

Soon, you can see that some cages contain some disheveled children.

Perhaps it was because they had not eaten for too long, or perhaps it was because they had not washed for too long, but they all looked pale and thin, and their eyes, which should have been full of innocence at their age, now appeared filled with utmost despair and death.

"this,,"

Even Hang Qian couldn't help but clench his fists at this moment.

Although I already knew these things through Ye Liuyun's thoughts.

But knowing and seeing with your own eyes are two different things after all.

Now seeing with my own eyes these captured children ending up in such a plight, how can I not be angry?

Feng Qianqin said in a deep voice.

"I heard earlier that there are demon sects around Alchemist City, and they would kidnap children from some villages to practice magic, but now it seems that this is not the case at all!"

This is a very good reason.

Everyone knows that the magic skills practiced by the Demon Sect are always used to harm others and benefit themselves, so kidnapping children will not arouse suspicion.

No one would have thought of it.

The one that actually kidnapped those children must be this Alchemist City, which looks bright and beautiful on the outside.

"Let's save them!"

Looking at those pairs of desperate eyes, Hang Qian couldn't help but look at Ye Liuyun.

They are now hiding in the dark and have not been discovered by these children yet.

",,,"

【Fuck! 】

[Forget it, it’s just one chance to sign in, if you miss it, it’s gone! ]

If he takes action now, Ye Liuyun is not sure whether he can get the chance to sign in, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't have it.

After all, I have experienced compulsory education, and I know deep down that sometimes, you can be cruel and do things to the extreme.

But for some things, if there is not even a trace of humanity left, are you still a human being?

If these were a group of adults, Ye Liuyun might have weighed the pros and cons.

But these are a group of children, some of whom even look only three or four years old, and they should have had a brilliant childhood.

【Do it! 】

Ye Liuyun had made up his mind and was just about to say something.

But this time.

"Clap! Clap!"

Not far away, the sound of footsteps made Ye Liuyun stop.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's inner decision, Hang Qian and Feng Qianqin both looked delighted, knowing that he had not made a mistake in choosing the right person.

But the sudden sound of footsteps made the two women realize something. They immediately stopped what they were doing and stood quietly behind Ye Liuyun.

"Ha~"

The two people who came over were from the Shangguan clan.

One of them yawned, took out a key from his body skillfully, and opened the door of a cage.

And said to his companions around him.

"Two children's souls at a time. At this rate, it won't be long before these cages are empty!"

There weren't many people left anyway.

The companion took advantage of the situation and walked out of the cage, carrying the two children.

Even though the two children realized the danger and wanted to struggle, they didn't have the strength to do so as they hadn't eaten for a long time.

He could only watch himself being picked up.

"What does it matter? At worst, we can catch more people. If the surrounding villages are gone, we can just go catch people somewhere else. The last thing in the world is people!"
