When the gorgeous morning glow dyed the eastern sky red, at the entrance of a remote mountain village, a young man wearing white clothes and handsome features walked up from a distance.
The young man in white stopped at the entrance of the village and frowned as he looked at an old woman sitting on the roadside burning paper money.
Coming to burn paper money on the roadside early in the morning, the young man in white couldn't help but have a look of doubt on his face.
The old woman was burning paper money, shedding tears and muttering something unknown.
The young man in white knelt down next to the old woman, took a few pieces of paper money from the basket where the old woman kept the paper money, put it on the fire, and burned it with the old woman.
The old woman wiped her tears and asked, "Where did the young master come from and where are he going?"
The young man in white said: "I'm going to visit relatives and I'm just passing by here. I saw an old man coming out early in the morning to burn paper money. Did someone in the family just pass away?"
The old woman said: "It's not that I came out early in the morning, but I have been sitting here all night. My daughter-in-law was just kidnapped by the monster last night. She must be alive like the other people who were kidnapped.
It’s not possible, wuwu…”
As the old woman spoke, she couldn't help but cry softly.
The young man in white frowned and asked: "Monster? What kind of monster is it?"
The old woman cried and said: "I don't know what kind of monster it is. Many people have disappeared in the nearby villages and towns. They are all pregnant women and young girls who are eight or nine months pregnant. No one can find the missing people. Everyone."
It is said that he was captured by a monster!"
The young man in white's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself: "In this bright world, are there any monsters who dare to come out and do such harming things?"
After burning the paper for a while, the young man in white learned some information about the disappearance of pregnant women and girls from the old woman, but there was not much useful information. He only knew that the missing pregnant women and girls were all quietly killed by monsters after they fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Abducted silently.
No one has seen what the monster that kidnapped people looks like, let alone how many pregnant women and girls the monster has kidnapped!
There are rumors in many nearby villages that pregnant women and girls have gone missing. Now everyone is panicking, especially those with pregnant women and girls at home. No one knows what to do.
The young man in white comforted the old woman and left with a heavy heart.
He didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when he saw the old woman's heartbroken look, he decided to investigate and find out what was going on.
Bajian City, the Chen family's residence.
The Chen family is the most powerful martial arts family in Bajian City besides the Yun family and the Zi family.
It is said that the cultivation level of the head of the Chen family has reached the innate Dzogchen realm, and there is also an ancestor whose cultivation may have surpassed the innate Dzogchen realm sitting in the family.
Now that the ancestor of the Zi family has passed away, the strength of the Chen family has firmly ranked second in Ba Sword City!
At this moment, in a secret room of the Chen family, a man wrapped in a black robe stood facing the wall and said indifferently: "Lian Xiao, how did you complete the mission for next month?"
The voice of the man in black robe seemed very old, and his figure looked very thin, but the momentum and pressure exuded from him put great pressure on the bearded man standing behind him.
The bearded man was Chen Lianxiao, the head of the Chen family. He clasped his fists at the black-robed man and said respectfully: "Ancestor, all the tasks for next month have been arranged, and we guarantee that they can be completed on time and within the time limit!
"
It turned out that the man in black robe was the living ancestor of the Chen family. He turned around, revealing a withered old face, and said slowly: "My Chen family has been patient for many years, and we must succeed in one fell swoop this time."
, replace the Yun family and Zi family and become the overlord of Bajian City!"
Chen Lianxiao looked at his ancestor respectfully and said in a deep voice: "The biggest variable now may still be Fu Wusheng, one of the deputy city lords of Bajian City, because we have no way of knowing his attitude!"
The man in black robe chuckled lightly and said: "Fu Wusheng is a lonely man with an indifferent nature. He is only obsessed with cultivation and has almost no interest in worldly affairs. As long as we don't provoke him, there is nothing to worry about!"
The big man with the beard flashed his eyes and said: "Recently, a young man with a mysterious identity appeared in the Zi family. It is said that his cultivation may have reached the state of innate perfection. He also went to the Zi family to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit a bride. He was the best to win the championship.
One of the popular candidates, and also the strongest opponent for Yun Sheng of the Yun family this time."
The ancestor of the Chen family laughed and said: "Oh? Isn't that more and more interesting? It seems that the Yun family has another powerful opponent, so wouldn't it be easier for us to watch them fight? Haha
Ha ha!"
A cold light flashed in Chen Lianxiao's eyes, and he said: "Ancestor, if our plan is implemented and successful, will the people from Tianlang Mountain get involved?"
The ancestor of the Chen family dropped his smile, frowned and said: "I will definitely ask if you ask, but in their eyes, no matter who is the lord of Bajian City, they are all the same. As long as they are given the training they need as required every year
Supplies, they generally don’t get involved in these things. In addition, those things must be done very secretly and must not be leaked at all!”
Chen Lianxiao seemed to feel a hint of murderous intention from the ancestor of the Chen family, and suddenly his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes! We have always been doing it in secret, and we will never let anyone suspect us.
of!"
The ancestor of the Chen family said: "That's good! You can go down."
Chen Lianxiao bowed respectfully, turned around and exited the secret room.
Outside the secret room, there is a passage extending into the distance. There are many huge luminous pearls inlaid on the walls on both sides of the passage. There is one every few steps, which makes the deep passage not appear dim.
This place is actually underground.
After walking along the passage for a while, the front suddenly opened up, and Chen Lianxiao came to a huge and wide underground space.
I saw that there were many small iron cells here, and almost every one of them contained a person, and all of them were women!
I saw these women with disheveled hair, numb expressions, and dull eyes. Many of them had big bellies, and they were obviously pregnant. Moreover, each pregnant woman was locked in a small iron cell independently.
Walking further, you can see that inside the iron prison, there are no longer pregnant women with big bellies locked up, but many women with just swollen bellies. These women are also pregnant women, but their bellies are not that big yet.
Continuing to walk a little further, some of the iron cages here contain many women, and many of them contain strong men! Regardless of whether they are men or women, these people have numb expressions and dull eyes, as if
Like animals without emotions and thoughts, they were kept in captivity by the Chen family in this dark underground place!
There are even some iron prisons where pairs of men and women are locked up. Under the control of special drugs, their eyes are red and their expressions are ferocious. They are like wild beasts and they are doing some indescribable things fiercely!
In the passage outside the iron prison, there were many Chen family warriors wearing swords, walking around constantly, patrolling all the time, and some warriors were recording something.
After a while, a Chen family warrior came over pushing basins of freshly baked meals on a wooden cart.
The food was sumptuous, and the aroma was rich and wafted far away. You could smell it all the way, which immediately created a strong appetite.
Smelling the aroma of the food, everyone in the iron prison was extremely excited. They all crowded to the edge of the iron prison, stretched out their hands outside the iron prison, and kept shouting: "Eat! Eat!"
The underground space was suddenly filled with people and all kinds of noise.
Such a scene reminds one of the way the pigs, cows, sheep, chickens and ducks raised in farms in some villages look like when their owners walk over and feed them!
The Chen family is actually raising so many people like livestock!
Chen Lianxiao looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, as if he was looking at the pigs, cattle and sheep he raised.
For many years, he has watched this scene every day and has become familiar with it!
