73: Chapter 73 Raging Fury

Therefore, government-sanctioned trade was even more despairing. The borders were constantly guarded, and this Empire's household registration System was extremely strict. Once someone was found without any identification, if they were unlucky, they would be captured immediately.

In other words, if Xiao Yan left now, these people would still only face one path: being captured again, sold into some Sect, and dying in loneliness after their value was drained dry.

Xiao Yan sighed slightly, then extended his right hand. A green flame appeared, then condensed into a pillar, continuously striking into the distance, forming a large hole. With a wave of his hand, countless dust particles gathered to cover that spot again, leaving only a passage wide enough for three people to walk side by side.

Glancing at the carriages loaded with food in the group, Xiao Yan said, "Stay here for a day or two, and someone will come to receive you. Do not be afraid when that time comes. When that person announces the name Xiao Yan, that will be the day of your freedom."

The emaciated youth walked weakly to Xiao Yan and asked, "Is Xiao Yan your name?"

Xiao Yan looked at this youth with extraordinary perseverance and smiled, "Yes, what is your name?"

"My name is Ji Xian." The youth's eyes shone, and he looked up at Xiao Yan in excitement.

"Hehe, good name..."

Without saying much more, Xiao Yan left a mark of the Fallen Heart Flame inside the youth's body. It also contained a sealed Soul mark that could be activated at a critical moment to protect these people.

...

Fifty miles away, above a magnificent complex of buildings, a young man wearing a purple-black Alchemist robe stood with his hands behind his back, suspended in the Void Realm.

"Your Excellency, may I ask what business brings you to my Blood Poison Sect?" An old man wearing a luxurious red robe appeared before Xiao Yan, also standing in the Void Realm without any support.

The people who had previously tried to communicate with Xiao Yan had been unable to say a word as soon as they opened their mouths, suppressed by Xiao Yan's powerful Aura. Only then did these people invite their Sect Master.

"Enough nonsense. I was passing through here and saw many people being treated as slaves and killed at will. Is this on the instructions of your Blood Poison Sect?" Xiao Yan's eyes were cold as he spoke in a chilly voice.

Seeing Xiao Yan's stern face, the Blood Poison Sect Master secretly thought it was bad. He could not perceive this young man's strength at all, but he could not judge by appearances; perhaps this person was a reclusive old monster!

But as a Dou Zong, are you bored, or do you have nothing better to do than meddle in these trivial matters?

The red-robed old man assumed this person was here to extort benefits, so he smiled slightly and explained, "My Blood Poison Sect has never interfered with the Empire's decisions. The slave System has nothing to do with my Blood Poison Sect. If Your Excellency wishes to manage these affairs, you should go to the neighboring capital and find the Emperor."

"Are you saying you don't trade these slaves?" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. Whether practicing or refining poison, the Blood Poison Sect required experiments. Generally, Sects practicing such Cultivation Techniques used Demonic Beasts or livestock, but this Blood Poison Sect used living people. Therefore, this inhumane slave System was absolutely inseparable from the Blood Poison Sect.

"Is Your Excellency overstepping? Does my Blood Poison Sect need someone else's permission to do things?" The red-robed old man's eyes were unkind, reminding Xiao Yan not to meddle in other people's business.

However, in Xiao Yan's eyes, he was not meddling. In his view, this entire Northwest Continent would be within his grasp. Managing his own Empire naturally could not be considered meddling!

"Enough talk. If you don't give me an explanation today, then today, this Blood Poison Sect will have no need to exist!" Xiao Yan naturally did not intend to solve the problem with just a few words when he came here.

Previously, when Xiao Yan's Soul probed the entire Blood Poison Sect and the capital, feeling all sorts of filthy things, he already understood that he didn't need to negotiate nicely with these people at all.

"Hmph! If my Blood Poison Sect has offended Your Excellency, just say it directly. There is no need to talk about irrelevant things!" The red-robed man's face was slightly angry, seemingly provoked by Xiao Yan's deliberate trouble-making. Many countries in the Fighting Qi Continent had slave Systems, so why did he have to come to my Blood Poison Sect to find fault!

Just like the Snake-People slaves in the Jia Ma Empire, many people would feel proud to obtain a sexy Snake-Woman. At the same time, the Snake-People would also capture humans as slaves. However, both were pet-like in nature, but this also showed that the slave System was not rare in the Fighting Qi Continent.

After all, just the nature of playthings generated such a large trading volume, let alone when other interests were involved. As long as there is demand, there will be trade; this principle is unchanging.

Many details that were glossed over in the original work hid countless tragedies behind them.

"Abolish the slave System, release all existing slaves, and provide all slaves with the necessities for survival. This is my demand for the Blood Poison Sect." Xiao Yan said softly, his eyes faintly containing an eerie green flame.

"Hahahaha! Is Your Excellency perhaps having some wishful..."

"Hehe..."

Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, a majestic Aura was released from Xiao Yan's body, shooting straight into the sky. It then formed a sky-filling green flame. Within a single breath, it spread within a radius of a hundred miles and continued to expand outward!

Feeling the suppression of the young man's Aura, the red-robed old man's smile came to an abrupt end, as if he were a duck with its throat choked, unable to struggle or move under this Aura.

The overwhelming flames spread wildly in all directions. The temperature of this world rose rapidly, suddenly reaching a point where people could not stop sweating. By this time, the flames had already spread to a range of nearly a thousand miles...

Countless experts looked up in shock, gazing in terror at the terrifying phenomenon in the sky that looked like the end of the world!

This was indeed the case. If Xiao Yan wished, these flames could instantly descend within this thousand-mile radius! Incinerating every living thing within this range alive!

"Dou... Dou Zun!" The red-robed old man's voice trembled as he looked in terror at the young-looking robed person before him.

"This Senior, the junior was offensive before! Everything you said is not a problem. I guarantee it will be realized within a month... no, a week!" Thinking of what the person in front of him had said earlier, the red-robed old man couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If he really offended this person, I am afraid it would really be as he said, and the Blood Poison Sect would cease to exist!

"Hehe, remember what you said. Half a year later, I will come to inspect it myself. If I see even one slave exist in this region again, your Blood Poison Sect will definitely not exist in this world."

The flames in the sky illuminated everything in this world with an eerie green color. Xiao Yan's cold words, falling into the red-robed old man's ears, seemed like a gift, making him let out a sigh of relief.

"Fifty miles south of here, there is a location I have marked. You can sense my Aura. Bring everyone there out, announce my name, Xiao Yan, and return their freedom to them." Seeing the red-robed old man's humble appearance, Xiao Yan's expression softened as he gave the instructions indifferently.

It was not that Xiao Yan was unwilling to blast the Blood Poison Sect directly, but after erasing it, no one would be able to work for him efficiently. What he needed most right now was time, and he would not waste too much time here.

Regardless of what kind of cat it is, as long as it can do things well, it is good. When he can free up his hands, hehe, he will slowly settle the score...

As long as he has the strength, there will naturally be countless people scrambling to work for him. Doing everything personally now cannot maximize the effect.

Even though Xiao Yan was only a Dou Zong right now, he had already initially planned the future layout of the Fighting Qi Continent. He used to do this kind of thing in his previous life, so picking up his old profession now was naturally extremely familiar.

However, unlike before, in this life, no one can stop him!

Whoever dares to stop him should prepare to face his endless fury!

Looking at the countless fearful gazes below him, Xiao Yan's stern face was expressionless. With a wave of his sleeve, the sky-filling flames disappeared instantly. At the same time, Xiao Yan also disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Even the red-robed old man, a Dou Zong, did not notice how Xiao Yan left, and his heart was even more filled with awe and fear.

For these people of the Blood Poison Sect, if it weren't for the high temperature that had not yet completely cooled down, they would have even felt that they had just had a nightmare.
