Chen Lan had a bitter look on her face. Although the past few days had made it difficult for her to look back, she had still told Ling Xiao the truth.

After passing through the Sky Flying Great Formation, Chen Feng and the rest of the Purple Jade Sect were all sent to a barren mountain in the Earth Soul Realm. After passing through the Sky Flying Great Formation, Chen Feng and the rest of the Purple Jade Sect were all sent to a barren mountain in the Earth Soul Realm.

There was no helping it, no matter how strong they were on the continent, if they could reach the earth soul realm, they would be even stronger than a pack of wild wolves. This was probably the sorrow of those who had ascended.

After escaping from the barren mountain, they ran into a mercenary group. Chen Feng didn't know where to go, so he joined that mercenary group to do the simplest job of supplying supplies.

A while ago, this mercenary group was preparing to come to the West River City to search for gold, but they didn't expect that they would run into an enemy along the way, and the mercenary group's mercenaries were either killed or captured.

The captive was sold to a slave trader, and that was how Chen Lan came to this slave market in Xihe City.

Ling Xiao quietly listened to what Chen Lan said and came to a conclusion. Back then, the seven purple pillars of light that shot to the sky would appear in the same spot on the continent.

Based on this, the Junior Brothers and the Elders of the Seven Demons Sect should be with Li Yuanchong and his wife.

With so many people helping each other, the situation shouldn't be too bad.

Ling Xiao comforted herself in this manner, but his heart, that wanted to find them, was growing increasingly impatient.

Only a colossus like the Long family would be able to attract countless experts. The Cloud Sky Sect did not dare to provoke them. After that, she waved her hand and called out to all her old friends who knew that she was here.

Ling Xiao closed his eyes and exhaled deeply. Following that, he shouted, "Ling Shiyu, let's go out for another trip."

Just as Chen Lan was surprised that there was no one around, she was caught unawares by the red figure that came out with a swoosh. With a smile, he came to Ling Xiao's side. "Go shopping."

"We'll make another trip to the slave market. Chen Feng, you go with us." When Ling Xiao mentioned the slave market, Ling Shiyu's expression immediately darkened. However, Ling Xiao ignored her and turned to leave.

Helpless, Ling Shiyu could only follow behind Ling Xiao and once again arrived at the slave market.

When the middle-aged man from Ah Qi saw that fiend, Ling Xiao, had come again, he could not help but have the appearance of a dead son. "May I know what sire is here for …"

"Buy slaves. I'll buy all of the slaves in there." The moment Ling Xiao said this, Number Seven's eyes lit up. Following that, she looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief. "The rules of the slave market is to pay with one hand, and deliver with one hand..."

Ling Xiao grunted, "Are you afraid that I don't have money? Tell me, how are these slaves being sold?"

Ah Qi quickly took out a recorded Soul Stone and glanced at it, then said, "Now there's a total of 97,531 slaves, a hundred orange crystals. Your excellency, you should know the total number now, right?"

Although Long Tao had told him that he would not offend Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao was here to do her own business. Number Seven thought to himself, now that we're doing business, he's not deliberately making things difficult. Haha.

Ling Xiao sneered. "That's fine, but seeing as I'm on good terms with First Young Master Long, I'm not going too far. I'll give you a twenty percent discount."

Actually, if someone was so generous, a twenty percent discount for A Seven would not be a problem. Furthermore, Ling Xiao had only made a ten percent discount, so A Seven could not blame him for asking.

To Ling Xiao, having all the wealth of an old thing called old man Hua, a few million orange gems was nothing.

Following that, A Seven took a Crystal Card with over 60,000 yellow crystals. After handing over the soul imprint of the slaves to Ling Xiao, he conveniently left the entire slave market for Ling Xiao. He also gave her a small group of slave managers.

Ling Xiao kicked the group of slave managers away. "Scram, where should I go?"

Those fellows rolled their eyes and fled, hugging their heads.

In the middle of the slave market, there was a circular platform. Ling Xiao stood in the middle of the platform, loudly saying, "Brothers, I've already bought everyone just now. From now on, I'm your boss."

The slaves were stunned for a moment before looking at the well-dressed Chen Feng beside Ling Xiao. A glimmer of hope appeared in their numb eyes.

No one disturbed Ling Xiao's speech as she continued, "Listen carefully. I said that I am your boss, not your master. Therefore, as long as you can earn enough money to buy your crystals, I will return everyone's freedom."

"What?" The slaves could not believe their own ears: there was such a good thing, it was impossible to deceive them.

Since that person was already a slave owner, it would be easy to enslave them. There was no need to play such a game.

Ignoring the doubtful gazes of the slaves, Ling Xiao said with a smile, "I spent a hundred and fifty orange crystals to buy each of you, so, as long as you earn two hundred orange crystals for me, you can leave. The additional fifty orange crystals should be treated as the interest of my large sum of crystals."

Seeing how serious Ling Xiao was speaking, one of the slaves immediately said carefully, "If that's the case, let alone two hundred orange crystals, we would even be willing to pay three hundred orange crystals …"

Ling Xiao shook her head, raised three fingers, and said seriously, "I, Ling Xiao, swear in the name of the soul that if I don't recover my freedom after everyone has earned 200 orange crystals for me, I will be smashed to smithereens."

When the slaves saw how Ling Xiao had even made a soul vow, they could not help but tear up emotionally. Their snot and tears flowed down their faces.

Heavens, the earth! This was not a slave master, this was clearly a savior!

Ling Shiyu rolled her eyes at Ling Xiao. This fella, he's so darned, using a fake name and exaggerating the cost. He even tricked a bunch of people to be moved by him.

Nearly a hundred thousand slaves were being sold and they were still helping him count the money. This move of Ling Xiao's had fooled them all.

Chen Lan, on the other hand, had a look of naturalness on her face. How could she not know what kind of person her master was?

However, even if Ling Xiao were to tell these slaves the truth, the slaves would definitely be able to accept that earning two hundred orange crystals would allow them to regain their freedom.

Looking at the excited slaves, Ling Xiao knew that she had achieved her goal. "Everyone, this Miss Chen Lan beside me will be your Acting Boss from now on. If you need anything, you can tell her. She will be in charge of everyone's meals and logistics. As for this …"

Ling Xiao pointed at Ling Shiyu and said with an evil smile, "Miss Ling, she is your treasurer. She will help you record every single profit you make."

"What? Let me handle the accounts." Ling Shiyu's eyes constantly spun, causing stars to appear in her eyes, "Can you change to something else?"

Ling Xiao pretended to be evil, "You can choose to pay me, or wash your stinky socks."

"Alright, alright." Under Ling Xiao's "coercion", Ling Shiyu finally could not help but agree.

Just like that, Ling Xiao's "platform team" in Xihe City began to build.

Chen Lan wasn't that good with anything else, so he was quite good at managing people.

She divided the hundred thousand people into a group of a hundred thousand people, each group selecting a team leader. Then she divided each group into ten hundred people, each group selecting a group leader.

If this continued, Chen Lan only needed to manage a hundred people.

Being a team leader could earn more crystals than others, which also guaranteed the enthusiasm of the group leaders and their team leaders.

Why would Ling Xiao buy so many slaves? Of course not.

The next day, the dense fog in the deep valley of the Bewitching Valley opened up. Ling Xiao excitedly led a hundred thousand men with pickaxes in their "great army" into the valley to "kill" them.

Ling Xiao was happily digging in the depths of the valley. At this moment, the West River Trading Company was bustling with noise and excitement.

The merchants, corporations and family representatives who could not afford to buy slaves to dig the mines surrounded the West River Chamber of Commerce, loudly demanding an explanation from the president, Long Yuxuan.

Long Yuxuan only threw out a few words before sending everyone away: "The slave market's business belongs to the Long family. If you have any objections, go find the Long family yourself."

All the representatives of the consortia and families stared at each other. They were speechless.

At this moment, Chen Xu, the person in charge of Chen's shop, arrived at the door of the West River Trading Company. Smiling, he said to the crowd, "Everyone, I have the honour to speak a few words on behalf of Lord Ling Xiao, who bought all the slaves."

"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it." Those people had a stomach full of anger, so they didn't have any good feelings towards him when they spoke.

Chen Xu did not mind, continuing to speak, "Lord Ling Xiao said, if everyone earns money, he definitely will not take all the profits from these mines for himself. This year, he has guaranteed that he will sell these minerals to everyone for the same price as the previous years, and he will also give everyone an extra half of the minerals they have bought as an apology gift. Every year in the future, unless there's some special reason, Lord Ling Xiao can guarantee that the prices of these minerals will be of equal value."

The representatives of the various families and consortia looked at each other in silence.

That's right, how could they find such a good thing? They didn't need to buy their own slaves to mine, so there was no need to go through so much trouble.

It was the same every year. They only needed to do business with Ling Xiao. They did not need to worry about mining, so why not?

Just when Chen Xu thought that everyone would accept this condition, someone suddenly sneered, "This Lord Ling Xiao is indeed generous. He wants to monopolize all the mines in Xihe City, and we, the tens of thousands of families in Xihe City, will not agree."
