The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Loyalty
 

“Alright, Young Master Lin, please follow me. I’ll take you back to Binhai.” Huang Xiaolong repressed the hatred and killing intent in his heart, and spoke to Lin Zicong.

Lin Zicong shuddered, speaking dreamily, “Finally… I can finally leave this… this nightmarish place? Teacher… Thank… Thank… Thank you!”

“Alright then, let’s go.” Huang Xiaolong left the cage area with a smile, with Lin Zicong trailing behind him obediently.

At a glance, most of the spectators had already left, leaving only Ma Chuxia, Xia Ying, Miao Erfang, Zhou Mi, and Ji Zhengyu.

There were others who were affected by the immobilization curse, standing like stone statues, such as Xuanyuan Hu and others.

“You… you… unlock our acupoints quickly!” Xuanyuan Hu glared at Huang Xiaolong, his eyes venomous and ghostly as if they belonged to a demon from hell.

“Hehe, you will recover in a few hours.” Huang Xiaolong grinned. “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I want the world to see the words carved on your faces.”

“You! Spit~~~!!!” Enraged, Xuanyuan Hu spat out another mouthful of blood.

Perhaps, for a martial artist, especially a grandmaster from the ancient Xuanyuan Family, who despised everyone, leaving the mark of a slave on their faces feels worse than killing them!

Soon, Huang Xiaolong left the beast-fighting arena with his followers.

“Master, let’s hurry… let’s leave quickly… The Yu Family will likely hear the news and come soon…” Ji Zhengyu couldn’t express his shock.

In one strike, Huang Xiaolong offended both the Xuanyuan and Yu Families!

It’s unprecedented for one person to offend two ancient martial families at the same time! Huang Xiaolong had truly created a record without precedence.

Ji Zhengyu was deeply anxious, but considering Huang Xiaolong’s extraordinary strength and that he had saved his life, he clenched his teeth and followed Huang Xiaolong into the maelstrom.

Besides, Ji Zhengyu had personally promised that as long as Huang Xiaolong saved his life, he would serve Huang Xiaolong as his brother. A man has to keep his word, right?

Furthermore, members of the Xuanyuan Family had repeatedly humiliated Ji Zhengyu in public. He had been furious but unable to fight back. Today, Huang Xiaolong had ruthlessly punished the Xuanyuan Family members, which had given Ji Zhengyu an opportunity to vent.

From all directions came a wave of chaotic sounds.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Capture him!”

Some of the grandmasters who were in charge of supervising the arena, or those who were half-step grandmasters, were all wielding weapons, even firearms and other hot weapons, and were rushing towards Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong was calm and composed, chanting immobilization curses and pressing forward.

He subdued the aggressive members of the Yu Family without bloodshed, leaving them helpless and terrified.

“The members of the Yu Family want to annihilate the Lin Family, and tried to humiliate my Sister Jing… This place belongs to the Yu Family, so I should retrieve some interest first~~~” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flickered.

Subsequently, when he passed those stores, he incapacitated the people inside and rushed in to loot.

All precious materials, elixirs, and martial arts secret manuals were gathered into his bag.

In fact, Huang Xiaolong’s yin soul cylinder had a cosmic dimension. It was a magic artifact that could not only contain yin souls and evil spirits but could also store a significant number of items.

Huang Xiaolong put all the looted goods into his yin soul cylinder.

“What… what is this treasure?” Ji Zhengyu, once again, was shocked by Huang Xiaolong.

He passed by the place where slaves were kept.

In a large “shop”, about thirty or forty slaves were kept, both men and women. They all were martial arts grandmasters, although their cultivation levels were not particularly high. Most of them had only condensed a few strands of True Qi.

Some of the slaves had the word “slave” carved into their cheeks like Lin Zicong did, while others did not.

At this moment, these slaves, shackled in chains, were looking at Huang Xiaolong with uncertainty.

“Isn’t it said that slaves are the most valuable and worth the most money? I’ll take all these slaves as well.” Huang Xiaolong smiled slightly, “With this… the Yu Family will incur a significant loss.” Ji Zhengyu forced a dry laugh, his liver trembling in fear.

Tonight, Huang Xiaolong looted the Yu Family’s arena, released all the slaves kept here, the Yu Family would not let it go. They would definitely pursue this feud with Huang Xiaolong to the end!

“Teacher, I know where the keys are.” Lin Zicong rushed out, retrieved a bunch of keys from a drawer, and quickly unlocked the shackles on every slave.

The slaves regained their freedom, their faces filled with joy and relief. They moved their joints and muscles, while casting puzzled glances at Huang Xiaolong.

“Follow me.” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

Immediately, a large group of slaves followed Huang Xiaolong, and they all exited the place with a howling cheer.

Not far away, in a valley.

The moonlight shone bright.

Huang Xiaolong sat on a rock, across from him stood dozens of slaves, their faces occasionally lit up by the moonlight.

“Master, should these slaves be released directly or?” Ji Zhengyu asked in a low voice.

“Hehe~~~” Huang Xiaolong gave a meaningful smile, addressing the slaves. “From today onwards, you have regained your freedom. However, those who wish to follow me may stay.”

“This…” The female slave that Huang Xiaolong had seen earlier, who had eight strands of True Qi, took a step forward. “You humiliated the people from the Xuanyuan Family, caused chaos in the Yu Family arena… We all know that… I admire your audacity and strength. But what does it mean to follow you?”

“Oh… it’s quite simple. As slaves, you are bound to be sold to dignitaries and your freedom will be restricted. Or, you could die in the beast-fighting arena. However, if you follow me, I will not restrict your freedom. It’s just that you will have to follow my instructions.” Huang Xiaolong laughed and said, “Following me has a lot of benefits. I do not usually offer such opportunities. Today is your chance, whether you can grasp it or not, is up to you.”

Huang Xiaolong had indeed thought about it. If he could gather a group of martial arts grandmasters who were formerly slaves, then even when he was not around, he could command these former slaves to protect his women and friends. Moreover, Huang Xiaolong was now rich and also needed people to manage his wealth.

The woman’s eyes were flickering.

Other slaves shared looks amongst themselves.

Indeed, being able to attach themselves to a powerful individual was a great chance for these slaves. Huang Xiaolong single-handedly raided the Yu Family’s arena and humiliated several Grandmasters of the Xuanyuan family. This was enough to show the unfathomable strength of Huang Xiaolong.

“Good! I will follow you! From today onwards, you are my master!” The female slave who had condensed eight strands of True Qi was the first to pledge her allegiance. She knelt down on one knee and announced her loyalty. “The Yu Family is extremely cruel and perverse to escaped slaves. I do not believe I can escape the Yu Family’s pursuit. I hope I can receive protection by following you, master. Please rest assured, master, I, Mo Youlan, pledge my loyalty to you without any second thoughts!”

As soon as the first one pledged loyalty, others followed. The next second, almost twenty slaves, following Mo Youlan’s example, knelt down before Huang Xiaolong and loudly pledged, “Master, we swear to be faithful to death!”
