The City Lord, Vice-City Lord, their head wives, and myself had a conversation. I was nervous about bringing up the topic. I was going to, now that their wives were here too. This would be a difficult discussion to have. However, just because it was hard didn't mean it could be ignored. Still best to warn them ahead of time first.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to start. So I'll just say it. After beating that traitor senseless we found out that he had an especially made artifact of sorts. It seemed to have the power to mask a person's cultivation and allow them to appear stronger than they actually were." The City Lord said.
"That's not good. Wait… that means it was a constant release type artifact. The amount of energy that would require is not small. Where did he…" I said, confused at how that was possible.
"This is the artifact in question. I think it would be best to hand it over to the Young Masters sect." The Vice-City Lord said, tossing the artifact over to me.
I caught what seemed to be a simple belly tie decoration. However, after a quick inspection of the item I noticed there was a hidden power within. This was not a simple artifact. It contained an incredibly evil power. Moreover… well… This might require my fathers attention. If I am right the power of the Heaven Devouring Battle Law was contained inside.
"Vice-City Lord has made a good choice in handing this artifact over to me. It will aid me in my report. It seems like I'll be heading back sooner than I had anticipated. This is not a simple matter in the slightest. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I believe I now understand why the prices of everything shot to the sky. That idiot had been forcing everyone to deliver the Artifacts over to him as a sort of tax. Then somehow used them to keep this artifact powered." I said, covering up the reality of what I found.
"I see, So it really was like that. Well we will get the city back to normal soon. I'll have to thank the Gate Guards for doing their best to control the situation. Now then, I believe it is your turn to tell us a few things." The City Lord said.
"I must warn you that what I found down there was nothing short of infuriating and disturbing. To be blunt… I've heard of actual demons who have more decency than what I saw there. So please brace yourselves for what you are about to hear." I said, then waited for the four of them to make any adjustments.
"We are ready to hear what it is that the Young Master has to say." The City Lord said after receiving a round of nods.
I breathed in and then out again. "The place I went to was a place called 'Underground'. This is the name given to the place by the 'Evil Shadow Sect'. They have a vast number of these places strewn across the Void World. All of which have numerous slaves forced to please the sick desires of lesser men. I'm sure you know by now since your Butler probably told you but I am the Young Master and Direct disciple of the Palace Master of Purple Phoenix Palace. The 'Evil Shadow Sect' is recognized as an enemy against humanity. I'm sure you know the weight of these words when spoken from my own mouth." I said, warming up to the topic and slowly revealing the information so as not to shock them too much.
"Indeed I do. While we are not in your Sects domain of protection we have heard from our overseer in the Golden Soup Sect that the major sects in this Void World have been working together with the Void Temple. But never have I heard mention of this 'Evil Shadow Sect' before." The City Lord said.
"That is because they are incredibly good at hiding. I only managed to get their Sects name a little over 2 years ago now. It was at that time when I found out the location of this city's underground. The Void Temple should have sent this information to the rest of the Sects by now. Perhaps that traitor from before had found a way to keep it hidden from you." I said, downing the now perfectly tempered tea.
"I see, then please continue with your explanation. If it is convenient of course." The City Lord said, motioning for me to continue before taking a sip from his glass.
"Alright, like I said before each Underground has hundreds of sex slaves. The 'Evil Shadow Sect' abuses these women to the point of forcing impregnation by their very rapists. After the woman births the child one of two things happen. If it is a boy they take him into the 'Evil Shadow Sect' as a disciple at a far away place. A life only to repeat the process of more evil." I said, pausing for a moment.
"Despicable! They deserve a thousand deaths!" The Vice-City Lord and City lord both roared out in anger. Both of them had boys and could imagine the feeling of having them taken away.
"That's horrible. The women are put through such hell." The two wives cried down one eye.
Then in a moment of clarity the City Lord reluctantly asked, "What happens to the child should they be a girl instead?" His face became serious, knowing full well that I have been slowly explaining worse and worse things.
"If the child is born a girl…" I started and then paused with a look of difficulty appearing on my face. "If they are a girl they will still be taken away to another place. Then raised in the underground of where they were brought. Then made to satisfy the desires of lesser evil men. Most don't survive until the age of maturity." I said, throwing a ring over to the City Lord.
From the words alone it could be easily determined what I was talking about. However, seeing the contents of the space ring. The aura of an emperor flooded the room in a rageful fury. This was not something he liked to hear. After all, he had his own daughter. And inside the space ring were the corpses of girls not much older than his own daughter.
