"Gu worms! How come there are gu worms in this male orc's body!"
Fang Moyuan exclaimed in surprise.
"This is the heart-eating Gu. It is stored in the heart. The person who casts the poison can control the life and death of the person who is affected by the poison at all times. It is a common threat method used by Gu masters." Xie Shizi said.
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
After a long time, Ling Xiao crushed the Gu worm on his fingertips and looked at Fang Moyuan.
"Where can I buy these orcs in the Shenzhuan Empire?" Ling Xiao said in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the master, the orc trade is shady and can only be purchased on the black market." Fang Moyuan said.
Ling Xiao frowned.
He already understood the general outline of the matter.
At the same time, a shadowy trading network hidden under the bustling exterior also took shape in Ling Xiao's mind.
“What an unexpected harvest.”
Ling Xiao muttered to himself, turned around slowly, and walked out of the dungeon.
Fang Moyuan followed closely.
"Master, where are we going now?" Fang Moyuan said.
"Of course we're going to find our old acquaintance!"
Ling Xiao smiled lightly, and his dark eyes had a frightening glimmer.
Both sides of a main street in Yishui City are lined with shops and stalls.
It had been less than seven days since the caravan entered the city, and the business that was supposed to be booming was now extremely bleak, with even very few pedestrians.
Many shop owners set up rocking chairs and sat on the side of their shops, staring blankly at the sparse pedestrians on the road.
"Leader, this can't go on like this. Our goods have piled up so much that many shops can no longer hold it!"
A thin young man said to Yin Chen.
"Oh, I understand everything you said."
Yin Chen smiled bitterly, the injury on his right arm was still aching.
In his opinion, Ling Xiao and Mu'er's behavior of lowering prices was completely a desperate fight against him!
Comparing the shops of the two parties, he could not compare with them in terms of price or quality of some goods.
Coupled with Ling Xiao's popularity in Yishui City, many people were naturally attracted to him.
And this has also created the current situation.
At this moment, Yin Chen understood how vicious Mu'er was when he asked him to hand over half of his own funds to Ling Xiao and others after leaving Yishui City!
The business that cannot make ends meet, coupled with the huge financial extortion, gives him a headache just thinking about it.
Ling Xiao and the others did not want to let him go mercifully, but they wanted to completely destroy their caravan!
Although he clearly knows all this, he has nothing to do now.
He couldn't sleep at night these past few days, and even his complexion looked a lot worse.
Just as Yin Chen lowered his head and sighed secretly, a shadow completely enveloped him.
"Boss Yin, I haven't seen you for a few days, I really miss you!"
The solemn words and familiar tone made Yin Chen startled, and his body began to tremble subconsciously.
Looking up stiffly, he saw the handsome face that left him with a lifetime of gloom.
thump!
Yin Chen fell directly from the chair and kept retreating.
"Xiao, Mr. Xiao...you, what else do you want to do?"
Yin Chen's voice trembled, his fear of Ling Xiao had penetrated deep into his bones and engraved into his soul.
Every time I think of his figure or hear his name, I get chills all over.
Now that I see this deity, I subconsciously think of that night when I was dominated by Ling Xiao and Mu'er...
Ling Xiao leisurely sat down in front of him.
"Leader Yin, as far as I know, you should be hiding something from me, and it is an important matter related to the development of your caravan."
Ling Xiao's face was grim and his eyes were extremely cold.
A trace of shock flashed across Yin Chen's face, but it was hidden.
"Xiao, Mr. Xiao, you, what are you talking about, why can't I understand..." Yin Chen said.
"Tsk, it's really troublesome!"
Ling Xiao stood up and winked at Fang Moyuan on the side.
Fang Moyuan accepted the idea immediately.
"You, what are you going to do..."
The young man on one side stood in front of Fang Moyuan with a look of horror on his face.
"Get out of here!"
As Fang Moyuan waved his hand, the young man was slapped aside and fell into the rubble without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"Don't mess around, I..."
Fang Moyuan didn't talk nonsense to Yin Chen and directly picked him up.
The two of them jumped up and returned to Xianyue Sect.
In the main hall, Fang Moyuan threw Yin Chen in front of Ling Xiao.
"Leader Yin, you are a smart man. You should know what I want to ask you. You also know my temper. If you don't know how to show appreciation..."
Ling Xiao sneered, and the nightmare soul attached to Yin Chen's soul began to throb and wake up.
Crazy biting Yin Chen's soul!
"Uh, ah..."
The sudden stabbing pain in his soul made Yin Chen groan in pain, curled up, and kept rolling on the ground begging for mercy.
Ling Xiao stepped on his head, and Yin Chen's fat face was pressed to the ground, squeezed until it deformed and twitched.
"Now, let me ask you, if you tell me anything, I will stomp on your head!" Ling Xiao said sharply.
Yin Chen didn't say anything, but just struggled with his body to express his approval.
"As for the orcs in the black market, are they provided by your caravan?" Ling Xiao asked.
"yes……"
Yin Chen answered tremblingly.
Fang Moyuan on one side was a little shocked. Even he didn't know about this matter.
Ling Xiao looked sideways, "Where did these orcs come from?"
"A few were escorted from the Tiancang Empire. Their border army will regularly search for the remnants of human and alien races..." Yin Chen said.
"Where are the majority?" Ling Xiao said in a deep voice.
"Many, most..." Yin Chen hesitated.
laugh!
The sword edge passed by instantly, piercing directly through his shoulder and scratching the old wound on his right hand.
The flesh and blood were turned out, and the heartbreaking pain made Yin Chen struggle again.
"I said, I said...most of them were cultivated by my witch clan."
Yin Chen buried his head very low, making his voice sound like a mosquito.
Click!
"Uh...ah!"
The sound of cracking bones was accompanied by Yin Chen's screams.
Fang Moyuan's face showed disgust, and a chill ran through his body.
"Bah! What a fucking beast!"
Ling Xiao was not surprised by Yin Chen's answer.
"Keep talking!"
"In fact... going to the Tiancang Empire is not just... to obtain goods. The main reason is that the border army will secretly escort some of the captured aliens to the southern border area, and then... again
Let us take over and put..."
"Bring them back to the Witch Clan and cultivate...orcs..."
"The alien race grows and reproduces very fast. It usually takes about two months to give birth to a child. There will be at least four orcs in one child. The growth cycle is very short and only takes half a year to develop..."
Yin Chen said tremblingly.
"So, when your merchants set out from the Witch Clan, they will bring mature orcs with them, and then sell them on the black market in the cities they pass by. Then they will go to the Tiancang Empire to 'purchase' goods, and bring them back to the Witch Clan along the way to continue cultivating them."
Ling Xiao asked sideways.
"yes……"
This short word seemed to drain Yin Chen of all his strength.
The sins and darkness of the family were revealed, and he was ashamed.
Ling Xiao stroked his chin gently, and when he discovered the presence of the Heart-Eating Gu in the bodies of the orcs, he already had a rough idea of the entire black industrial chain.
What shocked Ling Xiao even more was that the Border Army was actually involved!
On the northern defense line of the Tiancang Empire, those guarding Tiancheng are the Jiang family, the Dongfang family, the Zhongli family and the Yuan family.
The area is not large, but it is not easy to find either.
"The alien who provided you with the captives is the family from the Tiancang Empire?"
Ling Xiao asked the most pointed question and the question that concerned him the most.
Yin Chen's whole body trembled, his body twitched unconsciously, and his heart and soul trembled for a moment.
