Chapter 102: The Devil's Defender
Chapter 102: The Devil's Defender (Sorry, I'm on a business trip, writing this in a hotel, so it's a little late)
Between floors.
Four disciples from Ba Dao Sect brought a large iron cage covered with red silk cloth and placed it in the middle of the platform.
Liu Ji, the leader of Badao Sect, came up personally, with a smile on his face that revealed an unconcealable pride.
For public purposes, he blamed the Demonic Cult for the decline of his sect.
Personally, most of his father, grandfather, and uncles of the previous generation also died at the hands of the evil cult masters.
The most satisfying thing in life is to see your enemies surrender.
Naturally, Liu Ji didn't have the courage to go to Heimu Cliff and seek revenge on the Sun and Moon Sect.
But he can humiliate his enemies in other ways, which is also a form of revenge.
"Dear distinguished guests, it is a great honor for Ba Dao Sect to have you visit Hui Long Ju Yun Tower today..."
Liu Ji bowed to everyone and said some insignificant polite words. Then, at the urging of everyone, he couldn't wait to get to the point.
He walked to the iron cage covered with red silk cloth.
"Here is the last competing item for today."
Everyone in Juyun Tower had been whetted for a long time, especially those in the lobby on the first floor. Although those in the atmosphere group did not have the ability to participate in the bidding, it did not prevent them from being eager to appreciate the rare treasures, especially when they heard that the last rare treasure was so fragrant and erotic.
"Everyone, watch carefully!"
Liu Ji smiled and grabbed a corner of the silk cloth, suddenly lifted it up, and the red silk cloth slowly fell to the ground.
The entire Juyun Tower suddenly became eerily quiet.
There were only heavy gasping sounds, like hundreds of hungry wolves surrounding a beautiful deer in the wilderness.
There were two women in the iron cage, both of them were about seventeen or eighteen years old, with rosy cheeks and pretty looks.
At this time, their hands and feet were tied, and two ropes were tied across their chests. They were only wearing a thin white shirt, which was translucent, and their legs were firm and tight.
The root is an almost perfect arc, and the mountains and valleys are almost clearly visible.
What's even more surprising is that the two of them look 80% similar, the only difference is that one is a little plumper and rounder, while the other is a little thinner and taller.
At this moment, they saw clearly their own situation and felt ashamed and hateful, glaring at Liu Ji beside them.
"They are twins."
"Her name is Hua Jian, and this one is Yue Jian. They are both disciples of the Demon Sect."
"My friends, my Ba Dao Sect is a righteous sect. Logically speaking, we should not have anything to do with human trafficking."
"They are just evil cultists who do all kinds of evil and have lost all conscience, just like beasts."
"In Liu's eyes, they are no longer human!"
Liu Ji's words made the people present even more excited.
Since these two delicate women are disciples of the Demonic Cult, they are not human beings.
Then they can treat them like animals without being morally condemned, and even this act itself is a just act of "beating the devil for the sake of the Tao."
"Moreover, the money earned from selling these two women will not be taken by Ba Dao Sect. All of it will be used to help fellow martial artists who have been harmed by the Demon Cult in recent years."
Liu Ji's words made the men present even more excited.
This is a carnival held on a moral high ground.
Whether it is the seller, the Badao Sect, or the upcoming buyer, or the onlooker with a pair of green eyes, eager to scrape a few pounds of meat from the iron cage.
They are all enjoying this kind of pleasure, doing beastly things in the name of justice.
The smile on Liu Ji's face grew wider. If it weren't for the fact that Yunshuitang was defeated in Hengshan, and the remaining disciples of the Demon Sect in Guanzhong were not besieged by the righteous forces and had been torn apart, while Heimu Cliff did not take any action, which further confirmed the fact that the Sun Moon Sect was on the decline, he would not have dared to do so.
So far, it seems he did the right thing.
After this "black sale", the righteous martial artists in Guanzhong will hear the name of Ba Dao Men again, and he can also take the opportunity to expand his power and restore his ancestral foundation.
A voice came from the second floor: "Master Liu, please announce the reserve price."
"My Righteous Alliance is determined to capture these two evil female disciples of the Demon Sect. Please give us some face, fellow martial artists." The Righteous Alliance is a united force of fifteen or sixteen small gangs along the Wei River. There are not many masters, but there are many people and they have become very powerful in recent years.
"The Laodao Sect and the Demon Cult have a deep blood feud. I have been entrusted by the leader to bring these two evil followers back to the sect to be punished! Please don't fight."
Another voice was heard from the private room.
Laodaomen is an old gang in Xi'an Prefecture. It is very powerful and has close ties with the upper class.
"Hey, Lao Dao Sect is so great, why is my Crouching Tiger Villa so unconvinced?"
The man announced Crouching Tiger Villa, and the scene fell silent.
This was the largest bandit force on the Tongguan Road. They killed people, set fires, robbed caravans, and even ignored the government. Last year, the young master of Crouching Tiger Villa was captured by the Tongguan Guards. The owner summoned more than 500 riders on the Tongguan Road. The two sides confronted each other for ten days. Bandits of all sizes continued to arrive. In the end, they forced Commander Wang to release the man. Crouching Tiger Villa only paid a symbolic ransom of 500 taels.
Seeing the private room on the second floor, Liu Ji was about to get angry and quickly quoted the lowest price.
"These two disciples of the Demon Sect are sold together for three thousand taels. The highest bidder wins."
In the lobby of Juyun Tower, the voices of those gangsters were the loudest.
But those who can really bid are all in the private rooms on the second floor.
Many righteous people want to do their part to fight against demons and defend the way of righteousness.
Therefore, the price quickly broke through 10,000 taels of silver.
At this time, there are only a few people still bidding.
After all, these underworld forces don't get their money out of thin air. They have to support a large number of disciples, and their expenses are also high as they have to take care of various parties.
If he really had to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy two female disciples of the evil sect, it would be difficult to explain to his gang members.
"Fifteen thousand taels!"
The man from Crouching Tiger Villa made the offer in a fierce tone.
"Sixteen thousand taels." A low and sharp voice came from the private room on the east side.
In the private room where Zhang Yu was, the maid who was dressed in clothes saw Zhang Yu nod and started to quote a price.
"Seventeen thousand taels."
Right now, there are only these three companies still competing in Juyun Building. Except for Wohu Villa which announced its own name, no one knows the identities of the other two companies. However, those who dare to compete with Wohu Villa are probably not ordinary people.
"Okay, you two are rich and powerful. I admit defeat. I just hope you can get the person out of Tongguan Road safely."
The man from Crouching Tiger Villa had a strong threatening tone in his voice.
Seeing that he stopped bidding, the shrill voice from the private room on the east side continued to bid: "Eighteen thousand taels."
After the shrill voice finished quoting the price, it sneered, "In Guanzhong, if Master Qin Thirteen takes a fancy to something, let alone Tongguan Road, he can still take it out from your Crouching Tiger Villa."
The current King of Qin is the thirteenth in the family tree of his generation. When he was the crown prince, he was often known as the Thirteenth Prince Qin. When he walked among the people, outsiders might not know him, but those in Guanzhong who had a little knowledge knew the title of the Thirteenth Master Qin.
"I originally just wanted to talk to you as an ordinary person, but you came to the table like a kitten, baring your teeth and claws, and even pretended to be a tiger?"
In the court and in the underworld, the big fish eat the small fish.
Apart from the first-rate martial arts forces such as the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect, the other sects in the martial arts world appear to be dismissive of the imperial court's lackeys, but no one dares to truly ignore them.
Seeing this, the maid reminded: "Sir, Master Qin Thirteen is the uncle of the current emperor, the Qin Palace."
Zhang Yu picked up the last glass of wine and stood up with a smile. For this entry into the pass, Fenglei Hall gave him 10,000 taels of funds, and there was also the 10,000 taels he brought from Qingfeng Village. In total, he only had 20,000 taels on him, no more.
He glanced at the maid and walked to the railing himself.
"Twenty thousand taels."
The shrill voice was already a little displeased when it saw that someone dared to bid after it announced the name of Master Qin Shisan: "Twenty-one thousand taels!"
Zhang Yu smiled and drank the wine in the glass, chuckling.
"Okay, I'm new here, and I originally just wanted to talk to you as an ordinary person, but now it seems that's not necessary..."
When the maid saw Zhang Yu walking out of the private room without looking back, she felt relieved, at least she didn't have to go to the lobby to fetch the teapot. But at the same time, she felt a little disappointed. She looked at the two twins who looked similar on the balcony and sighed slightly.
