All the men and maidens were now weeping as they bowed down to Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan smiled gently to the freed men and maidens as he tried to assure all of them, "You are all freed now. All I need is just some information as I am new in this realm. I am a good guy. You may all stand. I actually do not like people to bow like this in front of me. Haha…"
It was the truth; Ji Yuan preferred people to talk tough with him and showing him no face as he was more at ease and he did not mind as well.
The old man that talked to Ji Yuan earlier was now looking more composed and he was no longer stammering as he rose to say, "Empyrean Ji Yuan, we are all natives here and we are all taken by Abyssal Great Lord Gui Gongkui to the nearest city to be sold as slaves and living cauldrons for the Abyssals. As for me, I am an old man, my old bones would likely to be sold as food for the abyssal beasts."
Ji Yuan was shocked beyond words.
Slaves?!
