C77

After much effort, the group of cavalrymen finally managed to extricate themselves from beneath the horses.

These cavalrymen were the personal guards of the head of the slave market, so when had they ever suffered from such obscure grievances? One by one, they drew out the long swords at their waists and surrounded Rulan and the others.

"Enough."

At this moment, a voice came from the back of the cavalry.

Following the voice, a man in his fifties with a slightly plump figure slowly came out. He was riding a purebred warhorse.

The cavalrymen immediately saluted.

Rulan squinted, a slight smile on her face as she looked the man up and down.

Judging from his bearing and the attitude of the surrounding people towards him, he should be the legendary big boss.

"Even if it's just a business operation, the Young Master of the Imperial City should know the necessary etiquette." The big boss looked at Ruo Lan through the guards and said indifferently.

Ruo Lan slowly stood up and smiled. "If your underlings are able to maintain the proper etiquette, I think I won't be stingy."

The two of them waved their hands at the same time, and the personal guards and cavalry soldiers retreated to the side.

The big boss looked around and saw the man with the viper tattoo on his right hand rushing over. He bowed and said, "Big boss."

The big boss nodded, then his gaze fell on Ruo Lan. "How much do you want to buy?"

Ruo Lan looked around, then said with a smile, "Do you think it's appropriate to talk about this kind of business in this pigsty?"

Hearing this, the big boss' eyes lit up and a smile finally appeared on his face: "Come, bring the horse."

Immediately, one of the cavalrymen brought two fine warhorses from behind.

Ruo Lan didn't hold herself back. She randomly picked one and jumped on it.

The big boss and Ruo Lan rode together. The cavalry he brought with him led the way at the front, while Ruo Lan's personal guards followed behind.

From the looks of it, it seemed to be very harmonious.

"What is Young Master's name?" The big boss seemed to ask casually.

Rulan said, "Hua Rong."

Ruo Lan didn't lower her voice. She was following closely behind his horse, so she could naturally hear him clearly.

He rolled his eyes at once and thought to himself, It's really like he's not blushing even when he's lying!

The big boss nodded and said with a smile, "This surname Hua is indeed rare, but I wonder which family in the Imperial City Young Master Hua is from?"

Ruo Lan smiled. "Do we have to check the household registration if we buy a few slaves?"

The big boss laughed loudly, "That's true. Please forgive me, Young Master Hua. I was rude."

The two of them chatted for a while, the team slowly moved forward.

The way forward was to the north. This place was getting farther and farther away from the Imperial City.

Ruo Lan felt a little strange. She said, "Boss, aren't you living in the Imperial City?"

The Great Master smiled and said, "I do want to live in the Imperial City, but I am afraid of incurring the attention of the people around. Young Master Hua should also know that even though His Majesty didn't oppose the slave trade, he absolutely didn't have any good feelings towards it. "If it wasn't for me having some connections in the imperial court, I'm afraid I would have lost this business a long time ago."

Ruo Lan nodded lightly. "So that's how it is."

An hour later, the two of them arrived at a unique manor.

"This is where I live."

The big boss smiled, "I haven't introduced myself. I'm Li An Zhi. Young Master Hua, you can just call me by my name."

"Boss Li's name is really elegant." Ruo Lan said with a smile.

Li An Zhi didn't seem to hear the ridicule in Ruo Lan's voice. He only chuckled, "It's nothing much."

As soon as they entered the manor, servants came and took the horses away.

The two of them arrived at a luxurious mansion. The cavalry had all withdrawn, and Ruo Lan led Huan and the Lin siblings into the mansion. Immediately, servants brought pastry and delicacies, as well as a bottle of excellent wine.

"Young Master Hua, I don't want to ask you where you came from, or why you're buying slaves. I just need you to tell me how many slaves you need." Li An Zhi went straight to the point.

Ruo Lan smiled. "Then, I would like to ask first. "Boss Li, are you the biggest slave owner in the Imperial City?"

Li An Zhi frowned, the discontent on his face was already written clearly.

"I am very sincere about talking business with you, please don't come to me to play this kind of riddle. Of course, I'm not the biggest slave owner in the Imperial City, and it's not that easy to find a slave in his teens. But! No matter how much you want, I still have the ability to do it. "

Ruo Lan burst into laughter. Then, as if she was facing the man who had a poisonous snake piercing his right hand, she extended her right hand towards Li An Zhi and extended a finger.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "A hundred twelve or thirteen year old young slaves. If there's one less, I'll go find someone else!"

Hearing this, Li An's eyebrows shot up.

A hundred slaves was not a lot, and to Li Anzhi, it was just a decent business deal.

However, juvenile slaves and adult slaves were different. Usually, the price of juvenile slaves fluctuated the most.

In peacetime, if there was no large-scale civil engineering to be built in the country, then the price of juvenile slaves would be much higher than that of adult slaves.

After all, teenagers were much more malleable than adults.

Li An Zhi pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "When do you want it?"

"Naturally the sooner the better." Ruo Lan smiled.

In her heart, she was still thinking about reprimanding those hundred mortal disciples.

Although there were already the four servants of the Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, and the Lin siblings, Ruo Lan was too lazy to remember this.

Furthermore, the slaves they saw on their way here were truly pitiful. Rowland also had the thought of saving one more.

"If that's the case, please leave an address for me, Young Master Hua. I will inform you as soon as the preparations are completed."

"Jade Fragrance Court."

"I will send someone to inform you within ten days."

After the agreement was reached, Ruo Lan didn't stay any longer and left with the Lin siblings.

Naturally, Ruo Lan and the others didn't know that after they left the manor, Lee Ang had gone to the back of the manor.

"Milord, they have left." Li An Zhi respectfully saluted.

In the backyard, a man in white was standing in front of a pear blossom tree.

The man in white didn't turn around. He only plucked a bunch of pear blossoms and put them on his nose to smell.

After a long while, he said softly, "They are just here to buy slaves. Do they have any other requirements?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Yes." Li An Zhi answered with a face of admiration. "And it is as you said, a hundred slaves. Not one is more, not one is less. Milord, you truly have divine foresight! "

The man in white chuckled and turned around slowly.

If Ruo Lan and Gu Qishao were here, they would immediately recognize that this man in white was none other than the Imperial Advisor.

"It's not that I have god-like foresight, but I'm just thinking that with her character, she most likely won't count against you."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "What are you going to do about those slaves?"

A confused look appeared on Li An Zhi's face. After thinking for a while, he said carefully, "If the lord doesn't have any arrangements, then I will do as they say and prepare a hundred young slaves for them."

Rong Guan nodded his head slightly. After pondering for a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face: "Prepare some more young slaves and give them some first. Let me see first, I'll choose."

"Yes."

Although Li An Zhi didn't understand what Rong Guan was thinking, since the honored Imperial Advisor had already spoken, how could he not comply?

Looking at Li An Zhi's figure that was quickly leaving, the corners of the spectator's mouth curled into a sneer: "Buddha World? A monk? With me here, how could your mission of a hundred believers be accomplished so easily? "Humph!"

After Ruo Lan and the others left the manor, they went straight back to the Jade Fragrance Court.

Ten days wasn't a long or short period of time, and Ruo Lan was too lazy to return to the palace. She directly sent a message to the ring, stating that she was accompanying the ring to wait for news.

Presumably, with His Majesty's current reverence for Buddhism, she did not dare to ask in detail.

As expected, someone from the palace quickly sent word, telling Ruo Lan not to rush back to the palace.

However, the complexion on the face of Emperor Ye Yunfei was not too good.

This empress of his really had no interest in him at all.

Queen...

Yun Fei's black eyes narrowed as he gripped his slender fingers tightly, exposing blue veins within.

During these ten long days of waiting, he didn't know that in that Thousand Blessings Mountain underground palace, an unexpected scene occurred.

"Reporting to Lord Devil Lord, everything has been prepared. All we have to do is wait for you to place the divine beads into the array formation and we will be able to remove the seal and return to the world!" A demon with horns on his head excitedly said.

Jun Wu You nodded slightly as his gaze fell upon the huge Zhen method that was just in front of him.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Aside from Jun Wu Yao, all the other Demon Generals had come to swear allegiance to Jun Wu Yi.

However, only they knew how many of them were sincere.

Jun Wu Yi sneered in his heart, he wanted more than everyone else to sincerely submit to him. But at least, on the surface, it had to be.

This was for Jun Wu Yao and the other devils of the demon race to see.

The Seven Great Demon Generals were merely a branch of the devil race. If they couldn't even manage this branch of theirs, then how could he, Jun Wu Yi, intimidate any of the major branches of the devil race?

Jun Wu You narrowed his eyes as he looked at the gigantic array formation.

This formation was hexagonal in shape and took up a hundred meters of space. The surroundings were set up with countless precious stones. In the middle of it, there was a fist-sized black hole that flickered with a dark brilliance.

The divine bead was meant to be placed inside.

On the side, the seven Demon Generals stood there calmly, their gazes all on Jun Wu Yi.

However, Jun Wu Yao's eyes flickered with a strange light as he stood in front of the group. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, but it was clear that his heart was far from being as calm as it was on the outside.

Jun Wu You took a deep breath and slowly walked into the array.

The demons had been sealed for a thousand years. This seal was not to seal the bodies of the demons here, but to seal the souls of all the demons here.

It would naturally work if he wanted to leave, but once he was thousands of miles away from this Thousand Blessings Mountain, he would be forcefully dragged back into this cave.

If that was all, then so be it.

The most important thing was that all demons had their strength sealed because of this great formation that used 999 Buddhas as its foothold.

Furthermore, this Thousand Buddha Seal was incomparably mysterious. The more powerful the demon, the deeper their suppression.

Otherwise, with the ferocity of the demons, how could they have settled down in this underground cave?

At this moment, Jun Wu You raised both his hands in front of his chest, and a moment later, a seven-colored, glowing God Orb slowly emerged from his chest.
