Underground (4)

With the elimination of all of the Evil Shadow Sects cultivators I moved on to locate and free all of the captives. The information I took from the 3rd Order Origin King just now showed me the entire layout of the area. This included all of the rooms where the slaves were kept as well as the… rooms that people would use for their entertainment and procreation.

"It seems there are a few people that are using the services here today. I wonder if they were warned yet?" I wondered.

"I think you might be able to catch them as well. It hasn't been that long after all. They shouldn't have been able to escape by now, Young Master." Fang Qing said, making a judgment based on the time frame.

"Then let's go give them a greeting as well. They also deserve death." I said, rushing off.

From there on I spent some time clearing out each of the rooms and killing all of the patrons that used this establishment. None of them were able to react in time and thus even if they had been Dao Source Realms they would still die under my spear. They truly were idiots. Each of them had been drunk and flushed with their insatiable lust. Whereas I had the opportunity to use my 6th rank Open Heaven grade Spear. So naturally I could kill these fools quickly. It's all about having the upper hand and initiative.

The screams one would usually expect to hear after barging into a room with naked women never happened even once. It seemed like the women had all been desensitized to their own condition. However, that didn't stop them from thanking me. Of course I rescued all of them and found something for them all to wear quickly. It was a shame since these ladies all had quite good qualities about them. Yet they had suffered so much pain and humiliation. Even dressing in front of me.

"Young Master? You are here to rescue us right? What will happen to us now? None of us have family anymore… are we only good for satiating the desires of lustful men? I didn't want this life. I was born in one of these places and sent here. I've been forced to serve terrible men since I was very little." One of the women finally said.

She still held the clothes in her hands, almost refusing to put the clothes on. She didn't know what else there was out there in the world. She only knew this painful existence. I could tell she wasn't the only one who experienced this particular story. Some of them motioned with their hands as if to show how tall they were when it started.

My face was already holding back the incredible fury of a dragon. This was because among the women were also young girls who looked completely traumatized. However, when I saw that I damn nearly lost it, I hadn't known when they started forcing their patrons on these girls' bodies. The fury slowly began to show as I realized I had been far too naïve.

"You were so young and forced into this situation. It seems I need to find a way to make that Evil Shadow Sect feel a death befitting of the crime." I said, I walked up to the closest woman and helped her get dressed. "I promise that after today you will be free from this terrible life. The hard thing you have to do is make the choice. Do you wish to come with me? Or do you wish for me to make some arrangements with Sir City Lord?" I said, putting the finishing touches on the outfit.

"Young Master is strong. Is it possible to go with you? Young master can protect us right?" The women all started chatting amongst themselves after hearing the one speak up.

"Please! Take me away from this place! Many of us have been forced to pleasure evil men since we were 7. Others had their families raped and murdered." Another pleaded on her knees.

The rest of them dropped down as if they were praying to an ancestor or a god. It sort of made me feel uncomfortable. However, they were in the right to act like this. So I didn't force them to stop. Instead I looked at the several dozen women and my heart sank. The lives they could have lived if there was no Evil Shadow Sect. All of that happiness rooted out and replaced with evil. Even this is just a small example of what happens everywhere.

"I will take you away from here. You have my word. I will take you all to a safe place where you can live. However, as much as I wish I could just give you this option. I must ask for that work while you live in my sanctuary. You won't have to worry about any issues when it comes to your safety. You may even learn to cultivate a little while you live there. I have saved others previously and even as we speak they are preparing for your arrival. Do you have any objections?" I said, calmly and in a dignified tone, this is what they were kneeling to so it was only proper I give them this.

"So long as the Young Master can take us away from this wretched place then we are satisfied." The women spoke, accepting the arrangement.

"Good! Now then, I'd like to go and collect the loot from the people I have killed today. After this we will go for a quick trip to the City Lord's mansion. None of you need to worry about that place. I have healed the two righteous members of the 3 and the evil one has likely been suppressed by now." I stated, as the women started to stand up.

"Then allow us to help the Young master. And could we ask a matter of importance?" A woman asked, clearly in a difficult mood.

"Ask, if it is reasonable and within this Young Masters power. This Young Master will see it done." I said with confidence.

"Could you take the bodies of the ones who died as slaves? I'd like to grant them a better burial." The woman asked, as all their heads bowed down.
