Chapter 27 - SampelBurg City

*neigh*

Alex was stopped his horse because a 5 meter wall in the distance. He saw guards standing on top of it with armour and spears.

They were all above Qi Condensation Realm Grade-5. Even Earth Realm Cultivators would have a hard time invading this place.

He walked through the gates and saw a street full of people. He saw stalls with people selling their goods.

"Selling a Tier-1 Sword for 10 Gold!"

"Selling a Qi Gathering Formation for 15 Gold!"

"Selling a Qi Replenishing Pill for 2 Gold!"

When Alex walked pass them, he heard products he had never heard of. For example, Qi Gathering Pills was something new to him. He also saw a bunch of materials that were uncommon in this area.

He continued to walk down the streets and found a decent hotel to stay in.

When he walked in, he was greeted by a beautiful lady. He bought a room for 5 days for 1 Gold. He got a key for room 101.

When he walked in his room, he took out his bag from his inventory and placed them on his bed.

*Grumble*

Alex realized that he hasn't eaten anything for the past 6 hours and he was pretty hungry. He walked out of hotel and received a notification from his system.

[System Feature: All-Exploring God Map

Description: Searches 2km surrounding around User and saves into system.(Range can be extended temporarily if User injects his soul Power in the Map.) ]

Alex blinked a few times to make sure he wasn't dreaming as he was surprised at the sudden new system feature. He immediately brought up the Map Window.

When he opened the Map. It showed SampelBurg City in full view. There was also a search function and markers. He turned on the one for enemies and all white dots disappeared and red dots appeared on the map. They were scattered around but what caught Alex's eyes was the big cl.u.s.ter of red dots at SampelBurg's Institute of Cultivation.

Wasn't it a popular institute?

How could there be this many bad guys there. Didn't Shen Fei join that Institute?

Was that why he turned like that?

Many questions appeared in Alex's mind as he thought about it.

He decided to investigate the matter later. He searched for restaurants on the map and found the best rated one.

As he entered, he was brought to his table and was given the menu. There were many dishes that ne had never heard of. He picked two dishes that he thought sounded delicious. The waiter took his order and left.

Alex talked to Celestine about the new function and found out that this map could even work in space. If he had enough Soul Power, he could search the entire planet. Unless the object or person had divinity within them, they wouldn't be able to escape the map's detection.

When his meal arrived, the delicious aroma of the food could be smelled. The waiter placed the food on the table and walked away.

After Alex ate his fill, he payed and left. The sun was starting to set as he walked down the streets. He remembered how Yui and the others gathered just to bid him farewell and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He walked in silence as he saw less and less people in the streets. He decided to head back to the hotel.

"Alright, let's go b- Ah!?" Just as Alex was about to finish talking to himself, he felt a hand cover his mouth and pulling him into an alley. The person probably thought that he was a mortal because his system hid his cultivation from others. The unknown person put a bag over his head and dragged him to the end of the alley.

The person pushed a loose brick in and the wall suddenly rotated 90 degrees.

'So he's from the Trinity of Evil.'

Alex thought to himself as he looked at the location he was at on his map. His map allowed him to easily find the hideouts of gangs, so all he had to do is find out the location the man would bring him to identify their identity.

From the description of the gang on the map, the Trinity of Evil worked in Slave Trading, Drug Distribution and Murder. They were more known for their murders. The men would be castrated and tortured before death while the females would be r.a.p.ed before meeting their demise.

Suddenly, Alex was lifted and thrown on a chair. He then heard voices talking about him.

"Boss, I found this guy walking down the streets. We could sell him as a slave. His face is so handsome that it could piss any guy off."

After saying that, the person took of the bag that was over his head. When the boss saw Alex's face, he nodded and replied.

"You're right, his face does piss me off. Put the slave seal on him and sell him off."

"Pftt! Hahaha!"

Alex couldn't contain his laughter anymore and laughed until a small tear almost came out his eye.

"Put a Slave Seal on Me? Do you even have the ability to?"

The boss' face darkened as he got angry hearing Alex laugh at him.

"Never mind, Just Kill Him!!"

The person was about to do as ordered but the next event completely stunned him. Alex just stood up and the ropes tying his hands and legs together looked like they were cut off by a clean cut.

"H-how?"

Those ropes weren't ordinary. They couldn't even be cut by a Tier-2 Weapon. How did this guy escape from them so easily.

He then saw Alex summon his katana and unsheate it a little bit and sheath it back into its scabbard.

*Zing**Swish**Pshhh*

The next thing the person saw was the his body. His head had was no longer connected from his body. Alex's sword was so fast that he couldn't even see it. His vision darkened as he died.

The boss was frightened and his eyes widened at this scene. Although that guy was his subordinate, he was only 3 Grades below him. Alex's sword was way too fast. Even with his heightened senses, his vision still couldn't see Alex's movement.

"I am sorry! Please let me g-"

Just as he was pleading for mercy, Alex appeared in front of him and slashed him in half. His body fell to the ground and just like that, he was dead.

Alex materialized a silver mask and hid his face. He walked out of the room and killed all the red dots on his map. He finally reached the prison cells. When he opened the cells, he saw many n.a.k.e.d women. He immediately turned around to look for their clothes. He finally found them after opening a drawer. He bought them in the cell and explained them the situation. He scanned to see their reaction and saw that they had many cuts on their bodies.

{Healing Magic: Area Heal}

Alex used Healing Magic to heal them and left the room for them to change. He searched the other prison cells but found nothing. Traces of people being there could be found, but they were probably shipped off to God knows where.

The women he saved walked out of the room and gathered. When they were about to talk, the slave seal around their necks shone and they screamed in pain.

There were different slave seals in this universe.

{Magic Slave Seals}

{Qi Slave Seals}

{Soul Slave Seals}

Magic Slave seals could be removed by finding the point where the most magic power was concentrated but this was hard to do as the spot moved around a lot.

Qi Slave Seals could be removed by blocking its source of Qi. After that, the seal would run out of Qi to sustain itself.

Soul Slave Seals were the hardest to remove as you had to use your own soul power to destroy every part of the seal in an instant. If there was still a part of the seal left, it would regenerate once again.

The ones here were all Qi Slave Seals. Alex conjured a barrier to block all energy except for oxygen to breath. He used a Qi Gathering Formation and a Qi Storing Gourd. When The Qi Storing Gourd stored all the Qi absorbed by the formation, there was no Qi left within the barrier.

The Seals on the women's necks shattered after a minute without Qi.

Alex removed the barrier and led them outside.

"Thank you, Sir" They all thanked Alex and looked at him with reverence in their eyes. Not only did he save them, he showed them things that seemed impossible like his healing capabilities. He was a God among Men in their minds

"No worries, this is what I should do." Alex responded politely. He then walked away and turned to a different Alley that was intersected with the one he was currently in. After checking that there was no one around him, he took of his mask and teleported away.

Walking into his hotel, Alex returned to his room and went to bed thinking about what to do next.

—————————————————————

After Alex left, the women he saved all talked to each other happily discussing the events that had just transpired. They were all truly grateful to him.

"Ah~ Only if he didn't wear that mask, I'm sure he has a handsome face"

"I know right, I'm going to make it my life mission to find him."

The girls all agreed to that conversation.

"Yes we should dedicate our life to help him. I didn't do anything before being kidnapped anyways."

All the girls nodded as they also didn't do anything before.

Those girls used the money given by Alex and went to a familiar hotel. Coincidentally, this was the same hotel Alex was staying at.

They all slept peacefully.

Little did they know, they would be the first employees of a company known throughout the universe.
