Chapter 817

(Unedited)

…

Standing in front of a special cell, Shin Jiao could tell that the people inside are well-groomed than the rest of the prisoners in this place. Inside the cell, there are around ten people sitting on the ground with distraught and helpless expressions.

When Shin Jiao and his group appear in front of the cage, everyone inside seems to have been shaken in fear as they all back away from the metal grills.

"Oh, so you guys ended up in here…" Shin Jiao said with a smile on his face.

Everyone inside the cell looks at the man outside, they are afraid of people coming to this place because it would mean that their time is up.

According to the rumors that were spread out, those who would be chosen would be turned into experimental lab rat or into a slave. For women, it is both a good and a bad thing. Once they are turned into slaves, their master can do anything to them. Though it would mean that they can get out of this place, yet it also means the loss of their dignity and pride as immortals.

Most of the people inside this cage are either someone from the outside or a mage that committed a crime. So their value is a bit higher than normal slaves.

Shin Jiao did not want to bother with those five people and their fate, but something is telling him that those two young men who have assisted the Song and the Xiao have some importance outside. He would not help them, but he would not let them die either.

"I want to buy those two…" Shin Jiao suddenly said.

"Umm… This…" Ferlin's forehead is suddenly drenched in a cold sweat.

He did not know what to do or say right now. That is because the rest of the people inside this cage is already reserved by some of the famous mage towers in the kingdom.

"Master… these… these people… They are already…" he wanted to say more but Shin Jiao lifted his hand to stop him.

"This is not a request but a command. Follow me and I will pay you. Resist and I will destroy this whole building." Shin Jiao said in a domineering tone while he releases a part of his aura.

His words shook not only the old man in front of him but all of the people within 100 meters in radius. Even Nariz Gumal and the Im sibling were shaken.

"This… this… As… as you command master…" the old man bowed.

After retrieving his aura, Shin Jiao stood calmly while looking at the old man slowly opening the cage.

However, before he could open the cage, a group suddenly enters the dungeon.

"My body could not help but shiver with that powerful aura… I wonder who is this powerful is?" a young woman who looks like in her 20's said while walking towards Shin Jiao's group.

Behind her follows Red-robed men with an imposing look and a disciplined gait before them.

When the old man saw the young woman, he immediately showed a fawning look in his eyes.

"High Mage Ling Hunxin… I'm glad you have come… are you here to take your orders?" he said while lowering his head.

"Yes, I want those five people which came from the outside world…" she said in a domineering tone.

"Ah… Yes… but… but this gentleman… I…" Ferlin Young craftily shifted his gaze to Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao knew what this old man wanted to do, but upon seeing the group that has entered the        Slave Trader Shop, Shin Jiao did not bother with them. Every one of them is just a High Mage so he did not need to fear them.

"Sir, we just came to this village to get what we have ordered ahead of time. So would you please stop interfering in our business?" she said with a serious expression.

She is neither servile nor overbearing. Her attitude is just right to convey that she is not afraid of Shin Jiao nor wants to impose her position towards him.

"I am not interfering… However, those people… you can have the three, but the two I choose should be given to me. They came with me from the outside world…" Shin Jiao said with a polite smile.

When everyone in the dungeon heard this, they all look at Shin Jiao with astonishment.

This man is from the outside world, but still is able to produce such an aura? Right at this moment, everyone knew that these people are not normal.

"Wait! Wait!... you cannot leave us here and just take those two!" suddenly Hua Xiao shouted while scurrying toward the prison bars.

"Please… Please save us… We don't want to stay in this rotten place any longer… Tell me what you want… I… I can give everything I have on me…" Vilma Song added.

The two women's clothes are in tatters. Their faces are scared and the previous beauty they possessed are now gone. The foul stench from their bodies made Shin Jiao squint his eyes. It seems that being imprisoned for several days has gotten a toll on them.

He could tell that these people have gone through a lot of life and death situations, but he did not have any sympathy towards these two.

They are the ones who hunted him, so they must suffer from their arrogance.

Actually, the five did not know who Shin Jiao is with his mature face and countenance, but they immediately recognize the young boy, plus while listening to the conversation they realized that Shin Jiao's group is the one they were hunting outside.

And the reason why Hua Xiao suddenly rushed forward is that she recognizes who Im Jae is. She is a bit envious of her beauty back then, and now that she has turned ugly and Im Jae still maintains her beauty, Hua Xiao was more jealous. But she could not let her jealousy cloud her judgment. She needed to plead to them to get out of this hellhole.

Looking at those two women, Shin Jiao raised an eyebrow. However, he did not want to bother with them.

"You have hunted us, and now you want us to save you? How shameless…" Im Jae said with a sneer and a dissatisfied look on her face.

"No… No… I promise to forget everything and not trouble you when we get out of here. My clan would forget the marriage between the Jing Clan and you." Hua Xiao said with a begging tone.

Im Ao looks at the pitiful women and bit his lips. As a little child, though he has experienced ruthlessness, he still has a touch of naiveté in his heart, hence he pities them, so he subconsciously thugs on Shin Jiao's sleeves.

However, the expression of Ling Hunxin immediately changes. She waves her staff in her hand and showed a menacing look at Shin Jiao and his companions.

"You are just normal fighters… I don't know what tricks you just used, but I will not let you get what you wanted!" she shouted.

With her action, the rest of the High Mages behind her also got ready to fight.

Upon seeing this, Ferlin Young was immediately scared. If these people fight in his dungeon, then everything he has would be ruined. So he needs to intervene to stop the two groups from clashing together.

"Wait! Wait! Please… Don't fight in here… High Mage Hunxin… Can I… Can I talk to you please?" he said while waving his hand in the air.

He then approaches Ling Hunxin and whispered some words in her ears. Though the rest could not hear it, Shin Jiao could clearly listen to them.

Shin Jiao's face showed a hint of a smile as he learned of this crafty old man's plan.

He told her that they should give those five to Shin Jiao's party. Then he would put a mind-control spell on those five to poison those people. Once that is done, Ling Hunxin could gain four more slaves other than those five from the outside world.

Hearing the old man's plan, Ling Hunxin nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Shin Jiao just shook his head. Though he did not want to take those five people with him, he still decided to for the sake of amusing himself with the old man's plot.

But unknown to them, while listening to their plots, he has already crafted a plot of his own.

"You wanted to scheme against me, then don't blame me for being impolite…" Shin Jiao thought as he secretly uses his psychokinesis to create a couple of arrays inside the dungeon.

…

It did not take long before Shin Jiao and his group walks out of the Slave Trader's Shop and brought out those five people with them. Hua Xiao, Vilma Song, Xiamen Gong, the burly young man, and Ansen Wine walk out of the shop with their tattered clothes.

They did not expect to be helped by the very people they were hunting. The group then walks outside of the village.

Unknown to them another group is following secretly behind.
