Lord of Myriad Realms

Chapter 32 : Slave Trading shop.

The next day, Ray left the coast city and headed toward Red Light City in the north. Its name might sound weird, but it was also a famous city among all other cities in the northern state, and it was under the jurisdiction of the blood demon sect.

This time Ray had bought himself a decent-looking carriage. He had enough money to spend and leisure around. His carriage was driven by a three-headed bull. It was a saint level beast, enough to scare any normal magic beasts away.

Before leaving the city, a few kind-hearted individuals cautioned him not to mess with blood demon sect disciples. The blood demon sect ruled over a vast area of thousands of miles, and they were known for their viciousness and arrogance.

Ray just smiled at their warnings, not taking them seriously. Just a blood demon sect? Not enough to be an appetizer.

Ray arrived at the entrance of the city. There was a long line of people and carriages who wanted to enter. For this they needed to pay the guards with a hundred copper coins. Ray waited patiently for his turn.

He entered the city without any difficulty after paying the guards a hundred copper coins. They let him enter with a smile on their faces. They hadn't even checked his carriage.

Red light city was very large and majestic, but compared to the first-class cities in central state, it was still lagging behind. Disciples from the blood demon sect could be seen anywhere in the city. Despite being an unorthodox demonic sect, they didn't cause too much trouble for anyone. Ray booked a room after arriving at an inn and his carriage was parked behind. he slept inside his room not until the food had arrived.

In the afternoon, he got bored while lazing around and walked out of the inn to take a look outside. The streets were bustling with cultivators. Even a few mortals could be seen.

Ray unknowingly arrived in front of a shop. 'Mad Drinking' words were written above it on a plate. It was just like any other normal tavern, but Ray felt something unusual.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, but for some reason he didn't. He entered the shop and glanced around. Cultivators were drinking and whispering to each other. Who knows what they were talking about? A waiter came to him, but he waved his hand. Ray saw a few people entering a door which was at the very back of the shop. They looked very suspicious. Ray also entered the door. No one stopped him. They just squinted at him. He walked down the stairs below, a few people around him also entered. They all wore black cloaks which hid their faces and body shapes. Ray could tell that they were from the blood demon sect with one glance. This kind of shape shifting-technique couldn't elude his eyes.

Ray understood something from all of this. 'Looks like they are doing something which is forbidden by the forces of the northern state'. He didn't want to meddle in this matter too much, he was just curious, that's all.

Ray climbed down below the shop. The first thing he saw after entering was cages and cages. Thousands of cages all around which made him frown a little. Slave trading was normal, but something was not right here.

Some of the people inside the cages were dead. There was no skin on their bodies. Looked like they peeled off their skins after death. Even after death, those captured slaves weren't spared.

All the people here wore a cloak except for Ray, so he quickly attracted a lot of attention from others. They all looked at him with weird gaze.

"Customer might be new here in the city, right?" A fat looking man asked Ray with a smile. His face wasn't cloaked like all others. His words meant he was the manager there. Whether he hides his face or not doesn't matter.

"Yes indeed, it's my first time in here." Ray nodded slightly.

"We have our rules in this shop. Each person must not show their face or identity while trading here inside. Since you are here for the first time, we'll overlook this incident. I hope customer will not take it to heart and abide by this rule next time." The fat man said sincerely.

"Of course," Ray said smilingly, but he sneered inwardly.

"Would you like to take a look at our products here? You can find almost anything here. We have to satisfy our customers' needs after all. You may find something you desire."

"Since I'm here, let's take a look anyway."

With that said, the fat man introduced Ray to the captured slaves inside the cages one by one.
