The Divine People’s City was a great city located in the central area of the secret realm. It was itself the largest oasis in the secret realm.
From the outside, the Divine People’s City looked quite grand. A circle of three-zhang-high sand and stone walls enclosed the surroundings, forming an irregular triangular shape. There were three city gates leading to the three sides. Besides that, the city had an inner and outer division. The inner city was the territory of the upper class citizens. The buildings there were all very tall and magnificent. The outer city belonged to the lower class citizens. They were some servants, slaves, labourers, serfs, living lives worse than death.
At the edge of the huge city walls of the Divine People’s City, there were also scattered estates, responsible for planting grain, cotton and other supplies. These places were all controlled by those cruel estate owners.
The secret realm world had no currency. It continued the tradition of bartering. Among them, the most precious items were slaves. The Blood Scorpion Tribe was most enthusiastic about the slave trade. Most of the prisoners captured by them were sent to the Divine People’s City to exchange for rare items in the secret realm, such as wheat and apples.
Ye Chui parked the flying magic vehicle in mid-air. He and Debbie, Green, Lisa, Xilaisi, Gunie, Posley, the sixth prince and the eldest prince, after undergoing Ye Chui’s [Enchantment Show Show] disguise, jumped down from the flying magic vehicle. Disguised as sand people escorting slaves, they attempted to sneak into the Divine People’s City this way.
The Divine People’s City was different from the sand people’s tribes. Its strength was much stronger. The sand people’s tribes each worshipped one spirit god, but the Divine People’s City worshipped several spirit gods, and there was also a spirit god king completely superior to the spirit gods. Although Ye Chui had thought of just breaking in directly, considering the possible dangers hidden here, he felt it was better to be cautious. If it really did not work, then use nuclear flat resolution.
Ye Chui, Debbie and Gunie were disguised as members of the Blood Scorpion Tribe. Given that the Blood Scorpion Tribe had now been annihilated, they pretended to be Blood Scorpion tribesmen who escaped during the battle. They conveniently took some prisoner slaves when escaping, preparing to trade them to the people of the Divine People’s City for some living supplies.
Lisa, Xilaisi and the others were all disguised by Ye Chui into miserable slave appearances. Their bodies still carried shackles. Of course, the shackles were also the ability of [Enchantment Show Show]. Although they looked very terrifying and sturdy, they actually had no restraining effect. The group appeared dusty and weary outside an estate near the Divine People’s City. Soon, they were discovered by the divine people’s guards of the estate.
According to Ye Chui’s plan, they prepared to sneak into this estate first. The estate would transport supplies and slaves to the Divine People’s City every once in a while. They could take the opportunity to enter the Divine People’s City.
Outside the estate, Ye Chui soon encountered two divine people’s guards with faces full of vigilance. He hurriedly showed a panicked expression. It was time to test his acting skills. He revealed the arrogant expression unique to slave traders and said: “We are people of the Blood Scorpion. We want to trade slaves with Lord Iji!”
The tone he spoke in was the accent learned from the secret realm world. The language of the secret realm world, because it had been isolated from the outside for more than three hundred years, seemed a bit strange. But it was like the dialect from some places in Ye Chui’s other world hometown. It could be roughly understood. After hearing it a lot, one could always barely learn a few sentences.
“Blood Scorpion tribesmen?” Among the two divine people’s guards, a big-bearded one looked at Ye Chui with full suspicion. In his eyes, Ye Chui was wearing leather armour in the style of the Blood Scorpion Tribe. There were also some blood patterns on his body. His appearance was rough. There was a terrifying scar on his face. From the looks, he was no different from those sand people of the Blood Scorpion Tribe. Debbie and Gunie were also in the style of Blood Scorpion Tribe women. As for Lisa and the others pretending to be slaves, they were all in tattered clothes. Their bodies still carried chains and handcuffs. They looked like they had suffered a lot. Yes, slaves. No problem.
But the big beard still frowned and said: “I heard that the Blood Scorpion Tribe was defeated by that Green Bay Tribe. Now they are extinct. Where did you run from?”
“We escaped precisely because the Blood Scorpion Tribe was defeated by the Green Bay Tribe. We conveniently took some prisoners and want to use these slaves to exchange for some supplies.” Ye Chui explained in his mouth. He had already inquired enough information from several Blood Scorpion Tribe warriors long ago. He knew who the owner of this estate was. Immediately after, he continued: “May we see Lord Iji?”
“Is Lord Iji someone you can see just because you want to?” The big beard snorted coldly. But his eyes scanned over the slaves Ye Chui brought. Although deliberately made to look dishevelled by Ye Chui, the beauty of Lisa, Posley, Xilaisi and the others still made the big beard’s eyes light up slightly. He lowered his head and discussed a few sentences with his companion.
Recently, the situation was a bit tense. The gates of the Divine People’s City, which were rarely closed tightly in the past, were now almost always tightly closed. It was said to prevent the tribal sand people from attacking the Divine People’s City. This was something that had not happened in decades. At this critical moment, the several estate owners outside the city were also very nervous. They became extra vigilant towards outsiders. However… While the big beard spoke, his eyes still secretly glanced at Xilaisi and the others. These women’s appearances were much better than those slovenly slave women in the estate.
In the end, some filthy thoughts made him change his mind. He said in his mouth: “Originally, we do not need slaves now. But seeing you pitiful, come in with me. Remember, inside you must be well-behaved. The Blood Scorpion Tribe, not to mention now annihilated, even if not yet annihilated, in the past when your people came here, they did not dare to be too presumptuous.”
“I understand.” Ye Chui pretended to be unhappy and said.
Then Ye Chui’s group followed this divine people’s guard into the estate. The estate was not small. The surroundings were full of various crops. Skinny-bodied slaves were labouring in the fields. Some people looked over at Ye Chui’s side. Their eyes were cold and angry. For sand people like Ye Chui who sold slaves, they would not have any good looks. Of course, their faces showed more of impotent rage.
The estate was wrapped by farmlands. In the middle was a wooden house. Around it were scattered small houses similar to shacks. The small houses were the residences of the slaves. Ye Chui’s group was soon brought here. Slaves had no right to their own private dwellings. They were not even allowed to own any private property. These living shacks were also public places for everyone.
The secret realm had no distinction between day and night. The slaves followed the bell sounds from the Divine People’s City for work and rest shifts every six hours. The shack was a mess. The ground was laid with some messy beast skins and rotten cloths. Some raggedly dressed slaves were resting on them. After Ye Chui and the others were brought here, a few people crawled up from the ground. Their eyes showed a mix of fear and ferocity. They stared at the few “slaves” behind Ye Chui, Debbie and Gunie.
For these slaves who were exploited all day long, the only pleasure in life was probably to bully the newcomers a bit.
“You wait here first.” The big beard shouted to Ye Chui.
“Wait here?” Ye Chui was stunned. His face angry, he said: “This is a place for slaves. I am here to sell slaves…”
The big beard sneered: “Do you not see what time it is now? The Blood Scorpion Tribe is already gone. What use are you? Since you delivered here, you three will also wait here to work in the future!”
“You cannot do this. We will not sell the slaves…” Ye Chui hurriedly shouted.
“Once you come here, what happens next is not up to you. Be honest and stay here. If you dare to step out of this shack, believe it or not, I will immediately treat you as escaped slaves!?” The big beard’s companion said coldly. In the secret realm’s Divine People’s City, escaped slaves would receive very cruel punishments. The status of slaves was even lower than the miserable black slaves in Ye Chui’s other world.
Ye Chui’s face full of anger wanted to argue with the big beard. But Debbie cooperatively hurriedly pulled Ye Chui. Her face full of tension, she leaned close to Ye Chui’s ear and whispered: “Ah yo, why not just kill them directly.”
Ye Chui looked at Debbie’s face full of resentment. He said in a low voice: “No, we are sneaking in secretly. We need to be careful.”
“Really troublesome.” Debbie pouted. But her face immediately pretended to be afraid.
It had to be said that the two’s acting skills now were top-notch. The big beard and companion saw Ye Chui and Debbie whispering. They thought Debbie was persuading Ye Chui not to act impulsively. This feeling of being revered made them very satisfied. After a moment, Ye Chui deflated and said: “I want to see Lord Iji. Regarding the Green Bay Tribe and that Ye Chui, I have intelligence to tell him.”
“Lord Iji is now receiving a divine official from the Divine People’s City. He has no time to care about you. Just stay here now.” Seeing Ye Chui yield, the big beard laughed smugly. He turned and left with his companion.
In their mouths, they were still whispering: “The quality of these few slaves is very good. When the shift changes later, I want to… heh heh heh.”
The two gradually walked away.
The status of slaves was very low. They were not afraid that Ye Chui would dare to do anything here. One must know, the rule of the Divine People’s City was extremely terrifying. Slaves at most wanted to escape. Resisting those upper class citizens and estate owners, such slaves had never appeared. Moreover, divine people’s guards in the estate were everywhere. These people could dispose of slaves’ lives at will.
“Could not enter that wooden house immediately. Somewhat regrettable.” Ye Chui saw the two walk far. He leaned to the shack entrance and looked out. In front of the wooden house, there were many divine people’s guards on watch. But these were not problems. Just now the big beard said a divine official was visiting here. That was even better. It was just right for them to control. Ye Chui turned his head to Xilaisi and said: “I will use shadow stealth to take you into the wooden house together.”
Xilaisi could use black fire insects and control others. Ye Chui planned to let Xilaisi control that divine official. Then take the opportunity to sneak into the Divine People’s City.
Xilaisi nodded and walked towards Ye Chui.
But at that moment, accompanied by a burst of footsteps, several slaves suddenly surrounded them all at once.
“What are you doing?” Debbie asked.
“Newcomers, do you know the rules here? In this shack, I am the master. From now on, you all must listen to me in everything. I can guarantee to let you live more comfortably.” Among them, a black-faced big man missing a front tooth said in a superior tone. Even in the most miserable environment, some people could not help but seek some pleasure in this miserable environment.
Along with the black-faced big man’s words, the other slaves also showed fierce expressions.
The black-faced big man himself was a prisoner of war with decent strength, so he could become the head here. But after being a slave for too long, he completely believed he was born a slave. His fierce face was only dared to be shown to other slaves.
Gunie immediately prepared to draw her forty-metre big sword from her waist. The VIP sword, after leaving Gunie’s hand, would turn into an ordinary two-foot-long sword and could be hidden at her waist. When she held the sword in hand, it would immediately turn back into the giant sword form.
But Ye Chui hurriedly stopped her. Somewhat sweating, he said: “Secret infiltration, secret infiltration. Do not forget.” He looked at Debbie and Posley again: “Do not make things too big. Let them not talk nonsense.”
After saying this, he summoned the magic guide book and placed one hand on Xilaisi’s shoulder. The next moment, he and Xilaisi’s bodies vanished into thin air. Or rather, they completely merged with the surrounding shadows.
The black-faced big man and the others were immediately stunned.
