Lin Ming toiled tirelessly once he realized that young lord Zhen didn’t bear any grudges against hiet to know Wei Jie more It was an indication that the boss was tacitly accepted by the young lord This incredibly ht all of his most trusted men with him to personally escort the newly purchased slaves to Sacred Peafowl Mountain
Jiang Chen had Xue Tong and the others await Lin Ming’s arrival at the entrance of Sacred Peafowl Mountain The slaves were subdued, so Jiang Chen didn’t need to worry that they ainst their masters After all, the Peafowl Guard could easily eliminate them at any moment’s notice However, the slaves were still at the uards This was because their ownershi+p jade tokens were in their owner’s hands The owner need only break the tokens in half to activate the restrictions within their consciousness Theirthe rash under such conditions, unless they were tired of living Moreover, the owner could simply check the tokens at anyto revolt
The slaves had no choice but to resign to their fates and listen to their owner’s orders if they wanted to live Pride and honor had no place in their life The owner could kill theer if they disobeyed his orders However, Jiang Chen wasn’t such a tyrannical person He’d bought these slaves, but he didn’t plan to enslave the the slaves around It wasn’t that he believed that all life was equal, but he understood how difficult it was to be a cultivator Beco was a fate crueler than death
The first thing he did was gather the slaves when they arrived at his residence “I know not why or how you were reduced into slavery, but it is not my intention to enslave you for the rest of your lives With that being said, I still require a lot of help, as my residence was only recently established I hope that you will be responsible in all matters and do whatever it is you are asked to do I will one day return your freedom and your lives back to you You need not doubt the authenticity of uarantee that you will not spend more than a hundred years as slaves in an to appear on their expressionless faces when they heard his words Emotions had ceased to be a part of them ever since they had been forced into slavery They were humanoid tools All they could feel was fear and obedience A hint of skepticism appeared in the slaves’ eyes when they heard his promise They were aware of the identity of their buyer He was the young lord of Sacred Peafowl Mountain and also one of the most popular people of Veluriyam Capital This was exactly the reason why they were incredibly nervous while they were on the road to his residence There was no say what their life would be like at Sacred Peafowl Mountain Young lord Zhen had a good reputation in the capital, but who knehat he was really like in private? Was he a tyrannical person with a short teer out on his slaves?
Slaves often led pitiful lives in aristocratic residences They were treated as ets for skill testing Sos Their masters would beat thee how ions every day A slave had no rights The death of a slave was like the death of a ate theChen one bit when he said those words However, it was evident that he had a different attitude towards slaves cost you that think that I’ on a show But letChen cut straight to the point “I’ you anything I merely wanted to let you know that only I have the power to control your fate And only I can grant you a new lease in life”
“So this I can only say that it’s because I understand that you have gone through all kinds of difficulties in order to reach your current cultivation level Forever reduced into slavery must have been a fate worse than death for all of you I’ you an opportunity for a new life! But I will not do it unless you prove that you deserve it If you dawdle around without any sincerity in your work then I can only apologize You will have no choice but to be a slave for the rest of your life I will not offer you the opportunity to turn your life around” TheChen’s words were clear He wanted to unite these slaves frooal It was impossible to brainwash them with the limited time that he had So, the best way to achieve a si their freedo all slaves craved It was also the only thing they could look forward to Jiang Chen glanced briefly through the crowd
“I will now allow you three questions Only three” Jiang Chen gave them a stern look before he continued “You better make them count”
The slaves finally realized that the new young lord of Sacred Peafowl Mountain truly was different froan to thaw, and their athered together to discuss their questions They sent out three representatives after fifteen est ae realm They were a few hundred years old It was obvious that they were very experienced cultivators Elderly cultivators were often reduced into slavery either due to a painful past or because they had been backstabbed by others
“Young lord, this old slave has a question” A bearded grey-haired man was the first to speak “Is it true that you will release us from slavery after a hundred years if we unite as one to serve under your banner?”
Everyone was dying to know the answer to this question Jiang Chen nodded without hesitation “You needn’t worry You will be released as long as you pass the test and satisfy me with your service It doesn’t have to be a hundred years It’s possible that I ht release you within fifty years, thirty years, or ueness in his answer The grey-haired inal place Another edlord, this lowly one is called Dan Qinzi I only wish to ask if we are allowed to leave Sacred Peafowl Mountain after we regain our freedom”
This was also a question that some were concerned about What use would freedo Chen smiled “It’s your own choice whether you choose to leave or stay What would people say if Sacred Peafowl Mountain were to prevent a person of free will frolances and cohts with their eyes Many seemed very content with the answers they’d received The last person to step up was a big and burlylord! My surnaiven that ill serve you after you’ve bought us However, I wish to ask if there’s anyone a slaves”
His boldness had grown bigger after hearing the young lord’s sincere answers His question was also slightlyChen burst into laughter “What, is there a trend in Veluriya up slaves? I don’t know about others, but you need not worry about such matters in my residence You are slaves in name, but you are more likely to be treated as a co as you work hard and do your job Re lord residence You should always act in the interest of the residence I only ask for your loyalty and commitment I don’t want to see anyone evade their responsibilities and create havoc within these walls As long as you ain as free -handed methods to make them obey, but he ell aware that such methods would often backfire after a period of time had passed Most of his folloeren’t as powerful as these slaves, with the exception of Huang’er There were e real fear into theive their all However, giving theood life could do exactly that They weren’t going to be lazy or hide their true abilities so they could stand out and pass the test set by the young lord The slaves were delighted They had a feeling that young lord Zhen wasn’t lying to them He seemed like a man who kept his promises
“You three Since you were sent out as representatives, you must be well respected by the others I will test the servants Each of you will be in charge of fifty people Naturally, sost all of you later” Jiang Chen had given the three of theht see behind it As expected, the slaves were elated when they heard Jiang Chen’s words What did it mean to have one of the theht to make their own decisions! It was now up to them to perform The slaves had become infinitely more motivated Hope had dawned and a new life awaited them
