Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

#220 - You are my master

Above Flowing Sand City.

A violent wind arose.

Liang Jin was in the wind; the wind followed him, giving him a feeling of overlooking the world.

Through the Fiery Eyes perspective, he had a complete grasp of everyone's actions in the entire city.

This feeling… truly gave one a sense of being above all living beings!

With his current martial strength, even a large number of ordinary people could not pose a threat to him.

No wonder such a mentality would arise.

“I wonder if the Third, Second, and even First Rank martial artists of this world also feel like they are comparable to gods?”

Liang Jin couldn't help but wonder.

He hadn't reached that realm yet, so he couldn't know.

But he was very certain that the true rulers and controllers of order behind this world must include figures of these top martial artists.

Even the emperors of a dynasty would probably have times when they couldn't act freely when facing these top martial artists.

Unless they could be like the Great Qian Dynasty's founding emperor, who was invincible and became the true ruler himself.

And even in the Great Qian Dynasty, none of the descendants of the founding emperor have been able to reach his height.

The reason these emperors can become emperors is probably because they can represent the interests of many powerful individuals and use their power to balance various forces.

That is why they can sit on the throne.

Liang Jin calmed his mind, feeling that he was thinking too far ahead.

So, he landed in a secluded corner, took out the bundle, changed his clothes, and removed the [Si Mask], placing it in the [Inventory].

After doing all this, Liang Jin walked towards the inn.

When he arrived at the entrance of the inn, he unexpectedly encountered someone.

It was a beautiful woman.

She was running wildly on the deserted street in the middle of the night.

Liang Jin happened to meet her as he arrived at the inn entrance.

Liang Jin remembered this beautiful woman.

He had seen her at the Slave Market last night.

When she saw Liang Jin, she couldn't help but stop and look surprised.

Clearly, she recognized Liang Jin.

Liang Jin waved at her:

“Hi, beauty, we meet again.”

After greeting her, Liang Jin didn't bother to pay attention to her and planned to return to the inn.

He didn't need to silence her yet.

Even if people knew that he was the mysterious expert who specialized in killing slave owners, it wouldn't matter.

If anyone dared to cause trouble, then Liang Jin could just kill more evil people who protected the slave owners.

Tonight's battle also made Liang Jin aware that no one in Flowing Sand City could stop him now.

Whether it was the Fourth Rank expert from the Immeasurable Bright King Sect or the Fourth Rank expert from Star Demon Sea, he no longer feared them.

But the beautiful woman suddenly spoke:

“Master!”

Liang Jin was surprised to hear this:

“Don't call me that randomly.”

The beautiful woman said seriously:

“You killed my master, so you are my new master.”

Liang Jin quickly understood what was going on.

The customs of the Western Desert were very different from those of the Great Qian Dynasty; there was no concept of not serving two masters in one's life.

In the Western Desert, slaves naturally had to dedicate everything to their master, including their lives.

Once the master was in danger, the slave had to die in front of the master.

But there were also special circumstances.

After the master was killed by a powerful enemy, his important property would naturally be taken by the powerful enemy.

At this time, the slave would recognize the powerful enemy as the new master.

All of this was taken for granted in the Western Desert.

After all, the population of the Western Desert was sparse, far less than the prosperous Great Qian Dynasty.

Slaves were also very important property here.

In the Western Desert, although there was also a custom of slaves being buried with their master after death.

But this custom was not strict, and not all ethnic groups agreed with this custom.

Instead, most areas allowed slaves to be inherited by a new master, so as to exert more of the slave's remaining value.

Last night, after the disciples of the Great Snow Mountain Sect bought this beautiful woman, they naturally became the master of this beautiful woman.

But who would have expected that the next second, the Great Snow Mountain Sect disciple would be suddenly killed by Liang Jin.

So, in theory, Liang Jin was the new master of this beautiful woman.

Understanding all this, Liang Jin smiled:

“I'm setting you free; from now on, you are a free person.”

“Go, go wherever you want.”

Liang Jin had no interest in keeping a female slave, and after saying that, he continued to walk.

But who would have expected.

That the beautiful woman would still follow behind Liang Jin, step by step, like a piece of dog skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off.

“What are you still following me for?”

Liang Jin frowned and asked.

The beautiful woman replied:

“You are my master; of course, I should follow you.”

Liang Jin asked:

“Are you deaf?”

“I said, I've already given you freedom.”

The beautiful woman's eyes were blank and helpless.

Freedom…

This word was full of strangeness to her, and also… blasphemous!

Even, it made her fearful and at a loss.

Only by following her master and listening to her master's orders could she have a sense of comfort and security.

If she were to throw herself into this free but unfamiliar world alone, she would only be uneasy.

“I… I want to follow master.”

“Please don't abandon Xiao Wan, master; Xiao Wan will definitely serve master well!”

This beautiful woman, who called herself Xiao Wan, immediately knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

Seeing this, Liang Jin roughly understood what was going on.

It seemed that she was a slave who had been thoroughly brainwashed.

The slave trade was very prevalent in the Flowing Sand City area, and the slave owners here had indeed inherited some powerful methods of brainwashing slaves over the generations.

This Xiao Wan in front of him was probably a being who had been completely brainwashed.

The best way to keep her from sticking to him like a piece of dog skin plaster was to deal with it in a way that her mind could accept.

For example, if Liang Jin was killed by someone else, she would naturally follow the killer of Liang Jin.

But this method was obviously not realistic.

Besides this, there was another way, which was that Liang Jin sold her to someone else through the slave trade, then she would naturally follow the new master.

But Liang Jin could not possibly do such a heinous thing as trafficking in human beings.

If left unattended, she would once again be reduced to a slave.

Such a beautiful, unclaimed woman could easily be caught again by the slave traders in the city and enslaved once it was daytime and there were more people around.

This was a bit tricky.

"Forget her, what does her life or death have to do with me?"

Liang Jin immediately didn't want to bother with this Xiao Wan anymore.

It wasn't Liang Jin's style to make so much trouble for a dancer.

Just as Liang Jin was about to leave on his own, he suddenly thought of something.

He turned his head and asked:

"By the way, you are still a martial artist, right?"

Liang Jin clearly remembered that when Yu Nu Ge was auctioning her, they had introduced her situation.

Xiao Wan nodded:

"I am an eighth-rank martial artist."

Liang Jin carefully felt Xiao Wan's aura.

Eighth-rank peak!

Only a line away from the seventh rank.

If you want her to become a seventh-rank martial artist, it is only a matter of a [Qi Boosting Ointment].

Immediately, Liang Jin's eyes lit up when he looked at Xiao Wan.

Since she is a martial artist, then she has value!

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

Liang Jin asked.

Xiao Wan shook her head:

"If the master wants Xiao Wan to kill someone, Xiao Wan will definitely kill."

Liang Jin smiled with satisfaction.

Killing people is something that always needs to be practiced slowly.

If this Xiao Wan enters the Azure Clothes Tower, she will definitely become an excellent assassin.

You must know that beauty is often a very sharp weapon!

Since she has value, then Liang Jin can also keep her.

But Liang Jin valued one more thing:

"By the way, what about the one-eyed dragon who took you away yesterday?"

At this moment.

Suddenly, an aura quickly approached.

Liang Jin turned his head and saw a one-eyed middle-aged man coming to the street.

The moment she saw this one-eyed man, Xiao Wan quickly hid behind Liang Jin.

It seemed that the person she was avoiding tonight was this person.

And Liang Jin naturally recognized this one-eyed man, who was the slave Yun Long he had let go last night.

It really was speaking of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived.

Yun Long glanced at Liang Jin with his single eye, and then looked at Xiao Wan behind Liang Jin:

"Little Princess, please come back with me."

Xiao Wan grabbed Liang Jin's clothes, unwilling to let go.

This scene made Yun Long frown greatly.

He didn't quite understand why Xiao Wan was unwilling to follow him.

Ever since the princess died, Xiao Wan had been wanting to escape, to escape back to continue being a slave.

Yun Long tried all sorts of methods, but he couldn't win Xiao Wan's trust, let alone change Xiao Wan's mind.

Tonight, he finally found a place under the cover of night to bury the princess.

But who knew that Xiao Wan would seize this opportunity to escape, and escape all the way here.

Liang Jin said:

"She is following me now and will not go with you."

"If you want to go somewhere to play, go play by yourself."

If this Xiao Wan could be cultivated well, she would definitely be an excellent assassin in the Azure Clothes Tower.

Especially since those slave owners had already brainwashed her, her loyalty would naturally be reliable, which saved Liang Jin a lot of effort.

So Liang Jin naturally wanted to keep this Xiao Wan.

After saying that, Liang Jin was about to return to the inn with Xiao Wan.

Yun Long moved and blocked Liang Jin's path.

Liang Jin frowned:

"Want to fight?"

Yun Long had just raised his aura, but quickly relaxed it.

He shook his head:

"I am not your opponent."

"Especially since Your Excellency is kind to me, I cannot possibly attack Your Excellency."

"I only ask that Your Excellency release Xiao Wan, I will definitely repay this kindness in the future."

Liang Jin laughed when he heard this.

His laughter was full of ridicule.

This made Yun Long, who had always been extremely self-respecting, feel a little ashamed and annoyed.

After a while, Liang Jin's smile faded, and he said:

"Expect you to repay my kindness?"

"I saved you last night, and you ran away without saying a word, you still want me to expect you to repay me in the future?"

"Isn't this ridiculous!"

Yun Long's expression was awkward when he heard this.

Obviously, Liang Jin's words made him feel ashamed.

Liang Jin continued to say:

"Also, it's not like I kidnapped her, so how can you talk about releasing her?"

"Xiao Wan, tell me, did you voluntarily follow me?"

With Liang Jin around, Xiao Wan's confidence was also much greater.

She replied:

"I am willing to follow my master for the rest of my life, and I will never regret it!"

Liang Jin immediately said:

"Listen, she voluntarily followed me."

"Who are you to her? Why should you care about her affairs?"

Yun Long was surprised by Xiao Wan's words.

But he quickly understood that Xiao Wan had been in the hands of slave owners since she was born, and slave owners had instilled in her the idea of being loyal to her master since she was a child.

This caused her thinking to not be judged by ordinary people.

So Yun Long was not disappointed, he just said sternly:

"I am General Yun Long of Ju Huan Zidian, this Xiao Wan is the daughter of Princess Ju Huan, and also the only bloodline of the royal family."

"Her mother, the last princess of Ju Huan, once instructed me before her death to make sure I take good care of her."

"So please, Your Excellency, raise your hand and allow me to not fail the princess's entrustment."

Liang Jin was even more contemptuous and disdainful after hearing these words.

Did this Yun Long think that his so-called righteousness could kidnap Liang Jin?

Immediately, Liang Jin replied:

"Since that's the case, I'm even less likely to hand Xiao Wan over to you."

Yun Long was stunned, and then asked:

"Why is that?"
