Swordholder

Along the way, Zhou Ye explained the function of the Human Desire Tower to Chen Yuan.

Hearing Chen Yuan's cold gaze, Li Wei was dumbfounded.

The Human Desire Tower, simply put, is a place that provides the furnace and cauldron for the Wuxiang Guardian.

Moreover, most of these furnaces were made by human women.

To put it nicely, it's called a furnace or a dual cultivation practice.

To put it bluntly, it's a place that provides sleeping facilities for the Wuxiang Guardians.

But it requires battle merit points.

The Wuxiang Guard can achieve meritorious service in investigating cases, apprehending sword wielders, and so on.

Then, once you have earned battle merits, you can spend them at the Human Desire Building.

However, most of the women in the Human Desire Tower have no cultivation, so how could they withstand the torment of the Formless Guard?

As a result, most human women would be tortured to death in this debauchery.

Even if they don't kill him this time, they'll definitely die if it happens a few more times!

Even on his deathbed, Wuxiang Guardian would not waste these women; he would devour them and convert them into his own energy.

Nuomi is still small, so she didn't react much and still held her head high, looking very proud.

However, the murderous aura emanating from Chen Yuan and Li Wei was so intense that it almost materialized.

Zhou Ye stopped and turned around to look at the two of them.

Chen Yuan and Li Wei stopped in their tracks.

"You two... at least you have some principles."

Zhou Ye's complex opening.

"Hehe, what do you mean by that?"

Chen Yuan crossed his arms and looked at him calmly.

Zhou Ye turned around, sighed softly, and looked up at the scarlet moon in the sky.

"We are the Formless Guardians. To the human race, we are aiding and abetting evil, traitors to humanity, sinners who have betrayed their ancestors and brought ruin upon their own kind..."

As he spoke, a sense of desolation appeared on Zhou Ye's face, like rotten wood in a chaotic world, ready to turn to ashes at any moment.

Chen Yuan and Li Wei exchanged a glance, surprised, but remained silent.

"But when you two heard what the 'Human Desire Building' was, you instead showed anger and murderous intent."

This is extremely inconsistent with the identity of a traitor. It might be one thing in front of me, but in front of those Beastmasters, you'd better watch out.

Zhou Ye continued speaking.

Chen Yuan and Li Wei felt a chill run down their spines.

"Aren't you afraid we'll kill you?"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, the Tianzheng Sword appeared in his hand, and his gaze fell on Zhou Ye's neck.

"I told you, you're a person with principles."

Master Zhou turned around, looked directly into Chen Yuan's deep eyes, and smiled, "You wouldn't kill me for no reason, because I haven't offended you, nor would I betray you."

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed slowly.

Zhou Ye smiled, turned around nonchalantly, and continued walking forward.

But a fine layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

His neck had been feeling cold earlier!

What the hell!

That kid really wanted to kill me!

Zhou Ye felt a chill run down his spine and realized he shouldn't test the other person so casually in the future.

Chen Yuan ultimately did not make a move.

Because he also sensed a familiar aura emanating from Zhou Ye this week.

······

The Renyulou (Human Desire Building) is located on Beishan Ninth Street in Tianshan County.

This is territory controlled by the Wuxiang Sect.

Although the Wuxiang Sect was the personal guard of the Great Xiang Emperor, it was also a large and complex department.

These include criminal investigation and imprisonment, suppression of rebellions, bloodline research, treasure hunting in secret realms, espionage and intelligence gathering, alchemy, weapon forging, and so on.

Such a massive institution could not possibly be supported by the Grand Chancellor alone.

Therefore, they had independent territories in each place, which they used to collect taxes, protection fees, conduct business, and make money.

Brothels, taverns, casinos, elixirs, and weapons manufacturing are the biggest sources of income.

In this way, self-sufficiency can be achieved.

It was already night, and under the blood moon, the entire Beishan Ninth Street was draped in a dark red curtain of light, adding a heavy and oppressive atmosphere to the night.

Surprisingly, the mottled streets were quite lively.

Beasts and creatures came and went, heads held high, each with a cold expression and bloodthirsty eyes.

Among them were human cultivators, or ordinary people registered in the household register.

Most of them kept their heads down and walked along the street corners, not daring to look at the beast-eating cultivators.

After all, fighting is prohibited in the county town.

They also go out at night, or do some small business.

These ordinary people will be fine as long as they don't provoke the beasts.

Even beasts need lower-level creatures to serve them.

If they were all killed, who would do the menial jobs of sweeping the streets or cleaning up excrement and urine?

Chen Yuan and Li Wei looked around curiously, but found it to be no different from Tianqing County City, so they lost interest.

However, while in Tianqing County, they did not go to the areas under the jurisdiction of Wuxiang Sect.

Under Chen Guohai's rule, there should be no such places as brothels in Tianqing County.

But the restaurants, casinos, and brothels here were brightly lit and bustling with activity.

As the four approached, those beast-like creatures, who had initially made humans so arrogant as to walk so brazenly in the middle of the street, were about to be reprimanded.

But upon seeing the clothes the four were wearing, everyone took a deep breath and made way for them.

More humans on both sides showed fear, while others secretly revealed anger and disdain.

Ignoring the complicated gazes of those around them, Zhou Ye led Chen Yuan and the other two to a three-story brothel.

Inside, there were women laughing lasciviously, but there were also sounds of crying, cursing, and even perverted screams.

"Ah Yuan, this is a chicken coop! If you become the landlord, wouldn't you be the chicken's head?"

Li Wei spoke in a low voice, his expression strange.

Chen Yuan rolled his eyes at him and followed Zhou Ye inside.

Once you walk through the main gate, you arrive at the lobby on the first floor.

It was a large place with many small cubicles, where some burly men with their bellies exposed and arms around each other were sitting.

Most of these men had human bodies and human heads, but some were monsters with human bodies and wolf heads, pig heads, or even dog heads.

It felt like entering a monster's lair.

Their hands were kneading and squeezing the women's bodies wantonly, or their mouths were constantly nuzzling the women's necks.

Even if those women had fear in their eyes or tears in their eyes, they could only accept it.

Most of them had blank expressions and were at the mercy of others.

However, some seem to have adapted to their fate and have simply begun to embrace it.

After all, if a woman cried, she would be slapped hard, or even beaten to death on the spot if she angered the Wuxiang Guards.

Chen Yuan and Li Wei narrowed their eyes, their gazes turning cold.

"Don't be impulsive, Captain Chen. This is normal. You'll get used to it."

Zhou Ye spoke in a low voice from the side.

Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze, as if he was suppressing a fire of anger in his heart.

He looked at Zhou Ye and asked, "Didn't you say that this place only accepts Wuxiang Guards?"

Why would other beast-like creatures come here to seek pleasure?

"As long as you have money, or whether it's black pills or red pills, you can come here to spend it."

In order to earn more black and red pills, Yang Gang naturally opened it up to the public.

Zhou Ye said helplessly, "Therefore, the workload for the women here will increase significantly."

"Even if those beastmen can afford a high price, the girls here can be played to death and nothing will happen."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes. "So, you're saying I can prevent the women here from receiving outside guests?"

Chen Yuan understood that the Human Desire Pavilion generally only accepted Wu Xiang Guards.

However, Wu Xiangwei needs battle merit points to come here to have fun.

However, not all Wuxiang Guardians have battle merit points. After all, the opportunity to make merits is rare, and battle merit points cannot withstand daily consumption.

Zhou Ye wasn't surprised. He seemed to have guessed Chen Yuan's idea and nodded slightly. "You are the owner of the building, so you naturally have the qualifications."

"However, even if we make things a little easier for these women, the consequence will still be death; they will just live a little longer."

"If you want them to be completely free..."

"Unless, the world changes..."

······

Zhou Ye's words carried a deep sense of powerlessness, which made Chen Yuan glance at him a few more times.

My suspicions grew even stronger.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Zhou? What's up? Coming to spend some money here?"

At this moment, a fat, middle-aged man with big ears walked over with a smile, looked at Zhou Ye, and spoke with a sidelong glance.

He is Manager Deng here, in charge of collecting money, and he works for Yang Gang.

Before Zhou Ye could speak, Manager Deng led them to a private room, ordered several cups of hot tea to be made, and immediately called over several beautiful and sexy girls to corrupt Zhou Ye.

Clearly, Zhou Ye rarely comes here.

Zhou Ye didn't waste any words and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"What? Zhou Ye, are you kidding me?"

Manager Deng's eyes narrowed, his enthusiasm fading and his expression turning gloomy.

He then looked at Chen Yuan, "This young punk wants to be the owner of this place?"

Chen Yuan took a sip of the tea in his hand and found that the water was extremely hot and the tea leaves were of poor quality.

He spat out a mouthful of tea leaves, raised his eyelids, and said, "I have Director Ma's appointment letter."

Zhou Ye immediately took out the letter of appointment and handed it to Manager Deng.

Manager Deng's eyes darkened, and he immediately snatched the appointment letter and tore it to shreds.

"Bah! What appointment letter? I don't recognize it! Lord Yang is the only master here!"

As Manager Deng spoke, his gaze turned icy as he looked at Chen Yuan, pointing and angrily shouting, "Who does he think he is? Does he even deserve to be the owner of this place?"

Clap!

No sooner had Manager Deng finished speaking than Chen Yuan smashed the teacup in his hand directly into his face!

As the teacup shattered and the scalding tea poured down, it made Manager Deng's face sizzle and steam.

"what!"

Manager Deng screamed and stumbled back a few steps, covering his face.

When he loosened his grip, his flesh was already a bloody mess!
