85: Slaved

When Yang Lingchen woke up again, he was startled to find himself trapped in an iron cage, with heavy shackles and leg irons on his entire body.

It was an iron cage meticulously crafted from cold iron.

Next to the iron cage where Yang Lingchen was held, there were numerous other iron cages neatly arranged, and many people were likewise imprisoned within them.

"A supreme grade Elf maiden, only two thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to take home!"

A middle-aged Scar-faced Man pointed at a young girl in a cage and began to shout loudly.

After carefully observing his surroundings, Yang Lingchen realized that this place was a slave market, and he had actually been captured and was being sold as a slave.

The Scar-faced Man kept shouting his sales pitch, and Yang Lingchen found it extremely irritating. After all, no one would be in a good mood after being captured and sold as a slave.

What frustrated him most was that his cultivation level had been sealed.

Yang Lingchen was helpless in his current predicament.

After all, the people here were far stronger than him, especially the Scar-faced Man. The aura emanating from him far surpassed Wang Yuyan's, making him an opponent Yang Lingchen simply couldn't contend with.

At this time, the slave market was bustling with people coming and going. Many richly dressed young masters and Young Misses were carefully selecting their preferred slaves.

As slaves were chosen and taken away one by one, Yang Lingchen, in contrast, seemed to be ignored.

This might be related to his cultivation level. After all, most of the slaves present had cultivation levels above Gui Xuan Realm eighth layer, and many had even reached the Spiritual Profound Realm.

However, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level was only at the Gui Xuan Realm sixth layer. Therefore, in this world where Martial Arts reigned supreme, slaves with lower cultivation levels were clearly not as popular as those with higher cultivation levels.

"Eldest Young Miss, this fellow looks quite handsome, what do you think?"

Just then, a woman dressed in a green maid's uniform pointed at Yang Lingchen and spoke.

"He's quite fair-skinned, and his age is just right. He'll do!" The tall, fair-skinned young girl looked at Yang Lingchen and nodded.

"This Young Miss truly has a Wisdom Eye! This kid is our star slave here. Although he's handsome and looks delicate, his abilities in certain aspects are definitely not inferior to any strong man."

Seeing someone take a liking to Yang Lingchen, the Scar-faced Man quickly stepped forward and started to boast.

In his opinion, this Young Miss was probably the type with a rather chaotic private life, which was why she would be interested in a pretty boy like Yang Lingchen.

"This son of a bitch, how does he know I can compare to a strong man in that aspect?" Yang Lingchen couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity in his heart.

And that young girl seemed to understand the deeper meaning behind the Scar-faced Man's words, but she didn't take it to heart.

After a fierce round of bargaining, the tall, fair-skinned young girl finally bought Yang Lingchen for the price of one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Seeing himself being sold as a slave, Yang Lingchen was filled with anger.

However, at this moment, he could only endure it. After all, his cultivation level was temporarily sealed, and even if it wasn't, he would definitely not be a match for the Scar-faced Man.

As the transaction was successfully completed, Yang Lingchen was released from the cage, his shackles and leg irons were completely removed, and the Seal on his body was also lifted.

Of course, they weren't afraid that Yang Lingchen would escape. After all, in their eyes, Yang Lingchen was just a small fry at the Gui Xuan Realm sixth layer.

"Kid, from today onwards, you are a servant of our Chen Family. This is our Chen Family's Eldest Young Miss, Chen Xueqi. Why aren't you hurrying to greet Eldest Young Miss?" The woman in the green maid's uniform said.

"Thank you, Eldest Young Miss." Yang Lingchen thanked the Eldest Young Miss, Chen Xueqi.

After all, she was the one who bought him out, otherwise he would have been imprisoned for a while longer.

"Work diligently for This Young Lady, and This Young Lady will definitely not treat you unfairly." Chen Xueqi said indifferently.

"Yes, Eldest Young Miss."

Yang Lingchen nodded. Coming to such a strange place, he indeed needed to find a temporary place to settle down first.

Afterward, Chen Xueqi bought a few more maids, and then led the group away from the slave market.

Under Chen Xueqi's guidance, the group arrived in front of a massive Residence.

This was a noble yet luxurious Residence.

This Residence was precisely Chen Xueqi, the Chen Family's Eldest Young Miss's private Residence.

After entering the Residence, Chen Xueqi left, and Yang Lingchen and the other newly bought servants were arranged by the green-clad maid, each assigned their daily tasks.

This green-clad maid's name was Luoluo, and all the servants called her Sister Luoluo.

"Everyone, go do your work! Remember, no slacking off."

"Also, I must warn you, there are guards everywhere outside this Residence. Without the Young Miss's permission, no one is allowed to leave this Residence on their own, or you will bear the consequences." Luoluo finished her instructions and turned to leave.

"Fuck, really treating me as a servant?" Yang Lingchen cursed inwardly.

But for now, he had no other choice. After all, in this place, his cultivation level was indeed not enough to be taken seriously. Most importantly, he wanted to first understand this new world.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and Yang Lingchen gathered a lot of information from the other servants.

It turned out that this was the legendary Central Domain Divine Land.

Previously, while in Wuji Holy Land, Yang Lingchen had read a historical record about the Tianwu Continent.

Legend has it that a million years ago, the Tianwu Continent was immensely vast. Later, to resist the Demon Race, the Heavenly Absolute War God and the Demon Race leader engaged in a life-and-death battle.

Ultimately, the Tianwu Continent was shattered into pieces, dividing into five major regions: the Eastern Domain, Western Demonic Region, Southern Yao Region, Northern Profound Region, and Central Domain Divine Land.

Later, the Demon Race was sealed by the Heavenly Absolute War God in the Western Demonic Region.

The Yao Race occupied the Southern Domain, while humans occupied the Central Domain Divine Land, Eastern Domain, and Northern Profound Region.

As the core of the Tianwu Continent, the Central Domain Divine Land's area far exceeded the combined total of the other four great domains.

Aside from the Central Domain Divine Land, the other four great domains were scattered deep within the oceans, separated by vast distances. Even King Realm experts attempting to cross the ocean would face a nine-deaths-and-one-life situation.

Yang Lingchen was currently located in Zanyang City, in the southern part of the Central Domain Divine Land.

In this southern region, the most powerful force was the Phoenix Divine Dynasty, followed by the Four Great Sects.

The other Four Great Sects were: Tiantian Sect, Heavenly Yin Sect, Medicine King Valley, and Immortal Sword Sect.

"Alas! It seems I won't be able to return anytime soon. I wonder how Sister Bing and Yan Yan are doing now."

"The most pressing matter is to first diligently Cultivate, and then find Qingyun." Yang Lingchen secretly thought to himself.

Over the next few days, besides doing chores during the day, Yang Lingchen would secretly sneak into the haotian jade space at night to Cultivate like crazy.

After several days of diligent Cultivation, Yang Lingchen successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Gui Xuan Realm seventh layer, and his various Martial Skills also received significant improvements.

One day, Chen Xueqi came to this Residence again and went directly to Yang Lingchen.

"What is your name?" Chen Xueqi's crimson lips parted slightly.

"Yang Lingchen." Yang Lingchen replied.

"Change into these clothes."

Chen Xueqi threw a set of luxurious brocade clothes to Yang Lingchen, then turned to Luoluo and said, "Take him down and have him wash up properly."

"What's going on?" Yang Lingchen was full of doubts, but he didn't ask further.

Then he was led by Luoluo to a luxurious bathroom.

"Wash yourself clean. If Young Miss smells even a hint of an unusual odor, I'll make sure you regret it." Luoluo glared fiercely at Yang Lingchen.
