606: Chapter 423 606: Chapter 423 These were all women who had been trafficked, among them daughters of wealthy families and commoner girls alike, captured and caged, drugged, then beaten if they awoke and were disobedient, their hearts filled with terror.
They never anticipated that those inexplicable people would be burned to death, and that they would be saved.
All they could do was give thanks to the heavens and the earth because the one who saved them was invisible, leading them to believe it must have been God who rescued them.
They spoke in languages incomprehensible to the mighty ones, and even the insects were unclear about what they were saying, but it was no longer important—the insects were simply following the commands of their master.
As for the insects, the women believed they were Celestial Generals and Celestial Soldiers sent by the Immortals from the heavens to rescue these suffering women.
Jiang Tang was far beneath the sea yet had an unspoken agreement with his master to control those insects; the insects reported back that many women were imprisoned in large cages, and he commanded the insects to go and rescue them.
He believed those who incarcerated the women were definitely traffickers, heartless to the extreme, treating women as objects and not as human beings, subjecting them to whipping if they were disobedient—truly despicable individuals.
Jiang Tang recalled that sometimes at the Immortal Venerable City auction, he had seen women like those the insects described.
He thought of the Vampire Clan, whose males, if in possession of a Magical Treasure, could use martial arts to resist external enemies.
Those women, like enchanting beauties, had now been modified in appearance; they remained breathtakingly beautiful when sober, but once they drank, they transformed back into creatures with the bodies of humans and the heads of beasts.
Especially the men who had tremendous strength while the women became playthings for some players, a nourishing supplement to certain evil Cultivators.
At the time, Jiang Tang heard that there were traffickers in Immortal Venerable City selling women at auctions, but he was too preoccupied with other matters to get involved, having heard that Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin had rescued women from two cages, later entrusting them to an Earl from the Vampire Clan who had come along.
His insects had once again aided the Earl, saving his kin from certain peril abroad, feeling that it was best to leave such matters to the Earl, for if no one took those innocent women back, they might be recaptured by the accomplices of those who had died, members of a gang capable of all forms of wickedness?
Jiang Tang had no expectations that the powerful beings who had tracked his insects would take a benevolent interest in the matter; not that they were not good people, but everyone had different thoughts, and perhaps only interests could compel those senior predecessors.
Jiang Tang figured that since Su Chang’an had brought the Earl along, they should help the women, and the Earl could also take the opportunity to visit his clan.
Upon receiving information from Jiang Tang, Su Chang’an fell silent for a moment, not immediately activating the Flying Treasure, but rather turning to consult with the Marquis beside him.
“Marquis, Jiang Tang told me that many of your kin, women, have been captured by traffickers and placed in cages.
He deployed his Silver Sprites to kill those evildoers, but he fears that the insects cannot soothe the women, nor return them to their homelands.
He asked me to bring you along to arrange for your kin to be sent back.
What do you think?”
The Marquis knew that his homeland was far beyond the sea, and by rowing by themselves, it could take half a month to arrive.
Jiang Tang’s capabilities were such that his pets were formidable; despite being tracked by many powerful beings, he still managed to find the time to rescue others.
He had not misjudged him; a kind man, even his insects had compassionate hearts.
The Marquis had already witnessed the mighty ones battling with those insects; the mighty ones couldn’t harm the insects, and the insects didn’t specifically harm the mighty ones, preferring to rescue their own kin.
Why wouldn’t he be willing to help?
Having relocated to this region over a thousand years ago, they had lost contact with the other side and even brought their Magic Wands with them.
Those who suffered and became victims on the other side were most likely the women.
He wanted to take this opportunity to visit his relatives, unsure of how they were faring in their own country.
If they were doing well, they might not have ended up being trafficked.
There was another unpleasant possibility, that his kin had fallen to the depths of selling women for glory, a situation he wished not to see.
If that were the case, he was determined to exterminate the scourge from his family.
The Marquis agreed to the rescue and thanked Su Chang’an for taking him along; he knew he had a Magic Wand and could do some work.
However, without the aid of the man before him who could fly, he would be without a boat, without any assistance, unable to return to his country.
He had just seen how perilous the small boats traveling on the sea could be, easily overturned by ferocious sharks.
Just then, as the mighty ones battled, not only the small boats capsized, but even the large ships couldn’t withstand the turmoil of their battles.
Su Chang’an activated the Flying Treasure, not using his own powers to fly.
Even though he didn’t need a Flying Treasure to fly on his own, carrying another person made him tired, especially over great distances.
Su Chang’an, a handsome Immortal, would of course not allow himself to appear disheveled.
Besides, he needed to conserve his strength in case a brawl awaited them upon arrival.
It wasn’t about fighting with those powerful beings but perhaps a struggle against those wicked teams.
Gently placing a few Spirit Stones, the Flying Treasure shot through the sky like an arrow.
They were inside the Flying Treasure, which, no matter how fast it moved, did not affect their ability to chat, eat, or sleep.
