Although she also wanted to see Lan Zhengfeng, she knew that in terms of urgency and importance, compared to Rong Mountain, Lan Zhengfeng’s matter was trivial.
That night,
Taking advantage of the darkness, and while An Jiuyue was resting in the inn, Qian Jiyun set up a barrier in the room using Original Soul energy and then went to Rong Mountain, intending to see just how large the Luoyang-Shao family’s stronghold on the mountain really was.
But little did he know, after searching a large area of Rong Mountain, he was unable to find the Luoyang-Shao family’s stronghold, nor did he hear even the slightest sound of animals.
The vicinity of Rong Mountain originally had villages, and even now, there were many houses, yet strangely, no one resided there, and there was no sign of life.
Moreover, he detected an unusual scent on Rong Mountain, the smell of poison.
That is to say, Rong Mountain was home to many poisonous creatures, whether animal, plant, or man-made, which caused the nearby humans to vanish completely.
Perhaps it was not that they had disappeared but that they were afraid of this place and had moved elsewhere.
Or perhaps…
His intuition was not good; the so-called stronghold of the Luoyang-Shao family was likely involved in acts so vile, not even beasts could match them. Although he saw many unusual things, finding the people from the Luoyang-Shao family was not an easy task for him alone.
Worried that An Jiuyue might encounter some unexpected trouble alone in the inn, he hurriedly returned.
However, before he could reach the inn, he spotted several people on the main street of Ming Gu County, each carrying a sack on their shoulder, rushing toward the city gate.
With his naked eye, he could see that the contents of the sacks were moving, occasionally emitting a ‘sobbing’ sound.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the sacks must contain people, and judging by the size of the sacks, they were all children; not a single adult was among them.
He immediately felt a surge of anger rush to his forehead and decisively stopped these people in their tracks.
These people had been strolling unobstructed towards the city outskirts, even the city gate would quietly open for them, not expecting to be halted.
But they never anticipated someone so ‘foolish’ to blatantly stop them.
“Who dares to block my way!”
A few people stopped, glaring furiously at Qian Jiyun.
Used to throwing their weight around in Ming Gu County, they engaged in human trafficking without even bothering to cover their faces with black cloths, brazenly exposing their faces for all to see.
“Human trafficking?”
Qian Jiyun’s cold gaze swept over the sacks on their shoulders as he asked.
Even though it was nighttime, he had never seen such a blatant act of people being stuffed into sacks and carried away on shoulders.
“Leave the people behind, and… you all stay as well.”
As his words finished, he raised one hand, unleashing Original Soul energy, and directly pulled the sacks from the shoulders of the men opposite him, then gently placed them on the ground nearby.
“You—”
The men were startled by his action.
There were several of them, and the sacks on their shoulders were quite heavy, containing children after all.
Yet the man opposite to them managed to snatch them away with just one move, an act not possible by merely using internal energy.
“Who are you, and do you know who we are? Beat it while you can, otherwise, if you offend us, beware: we’ll make sure you can’t stay in Ming Gu County!”
