Xu Mu looked at the stage in the distance. A middle-aged man wearing a theatrical costume and painted facial makeup strode to the center of the stage with the imposing steps of a tiger.
"Good evening, everyone."
The middle-aged man exuded an imposing aura. His movements were grand and expansive, his steps powerful and steady. He embodied the role of a martial general in traditional opera.
Xu Mu closed his eyes to sense his surroundings and found that he could perceive this middle-aged man.
That proved one thing: this person was a real, living human.
According to the old man next to him, this place was a Heavenly Dao-level array, yet this middle-aged man was able to participate in it.
Xu Mu concluded that this man must have some understanding of the Heavenly Dao-level array before them.
He looked at the people in the cages. Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan were both struggling relentlessly.
However, the cages didn't budge an inch, even as all of their Qi energy burst forth from within.
The terrifying shockwaves generated by their struggles rippled out in all directions.
Yet, the cages remained firmly rooted on the stage, merely giving the spectators in the front a good scare.
Xu Mu examined the remaining three cages, which held two men and one woman.
One was a young man from a foreign race, and another was a bald, middle-aged man.
The last woman was wearing a traditional horse-face skirt and a black top.
She had black hair with straight bangs across her forehead. On her beautiful face were a pair of heterochromatic eyes.
She was different from Nalan Shisan; Nalan Shisan had unusual sclerae, whereas this woman simply had different colored irises.
Her left eye was black, but her right eye was golden.
She didn't seem afraid of her current predicament. She just sat in the cage, resting her cheeks on her hands, smiling at the crowd outside.
The smile was radiant, but upon closer inspection, it felt somewhat chilling.
Through the Eye of God, Xu Mu inspected the remaining three.
The young man from the foreign race had white hair. Unlike the silver hair of the Jiuli Tribe, his was a pure white, like goose feathers.
He belonged to the Tengu Tribe.
In the original plot, this race had been introduced; they had once produced top-tier experts.
The ancient Dragon Kingdom legend of the Tengu devouring the sun referred precisely to this race.
As for the bald man, he was also from the Tengu Tribe.
However, the slightly gloomy-looking woman with straight bangs and heterochromatic eyes completely stunned Xu Mu.
Name: Xianling Nan
Identity: Holy Maiden of the White Stone Tribe, female lead of The Evil God Leaves Prison.
Affection: -80
Destiny Level: 10 (Max level 10)
Seeing this information, Xu Mu was genuinely surprised. This woman was quite different from the female leads he had encountered before.
First was her Destiny Level. She was the second max-level person Xu Mu had ever met.
The first was Xu Ningbing.
From Xu Ningbing's storyline, Xu Mu could deduce just how terrifying this woman was.
As a level-ten character, Xu Ningbing started cultivating in her twenties and skyrocketed to become a top-tier expert in just a few short years.
Although her fortuitous encounters weren't as great as Ye Chen's, they were still plentiful. She was the standard primary member of Ye Chen's harem.
Her strength was second only to Ye Chen.
Since this woman was also level ten, it proved that she was Wu Tian's primary female lead.
However, what Xu Mu couldn't understand was why this woman's affection toward him was so deeply in the negatives.
He had never even met her.
Xu Mu stared intently at her eyes and realized she had barely even made eye contact with him.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Mu understood the reason. Her affection wasn't just heavily negative toward him specifically.
It was the same for everyone present. She wanted to kill every single person in front of her.
Xu Mu shook his head slightly. As expected of the Evil God bro, his main wife was simply built different. One look and you could tell she was ruthless.
Unlike Xu Mu, the focus of everyone else present was not on Xianling Nan, but on Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan.
"That woman looks like the Empress of the Heavenly Demon Tribe, Fu Jinyu!"
"That's right, it's her. I can't believe she was captured. I imagine most people here are itching to make a move."
"Of course. The Heavenly Demon Tribe used to be able to rival the Jiuli Tribe. A dignified Empress, and such a beauty to boot, she'll definitely be fought over. Any child born to her would undoubtedly possess incredible talent."
...
Compared to Fu Jinyu, there wasn't as much discussion about Nalan Shisan, but a portion of the crowd was still staring at her.
"To think the recluse Demon Queen was also captured. I have to say, this woman looks really enticing."
"I'm not interested in her. I bet she's already dried up."
"Me too. I feel like playing with her would just be her playing with me."
...
"We caught five people today. We'll follow the old rules: if anyone is interested in someone, you're welcome to bid."
The middle-aged man on the stage smiled at the crowd below. "First up, from the Tengu Tribe."
Xu Mu looked around. He wasn't interested in this young man.
"I bid ten catties of spirit stones."
A person in a black robe in the front row raised his hand.
"You old dog, so your son's life is only worth ten catties of spirit stones?"
Another black-robed person in the distance raised a hand. "I bid a thousand catties!"
At this point, everyone was watching the spectacle like a joke.
From the crowd's chatter, Xu Mu roughly figured out the reason.
It turned out the two families had engaged in a fierce battle over a treasure, and ultimately chose to wager lives here.
The Tengu Tribe had lost.
And the other party was clearly forcing the Tengu Tribe's hand. A thousand catties was already half a ton of spirit stones.
If the Tengu Tribe didn't match the bid, his son would surely lose his life.
"A thousand and ten catties."
The middle-aged man from the Tengu Tribe raised his hand and then said, "If you bid any higher, you can have the boy's life!"
Hearing this, the other party stopped talking. Evidently, making the Tengu Tribe lose half a ton of spirit stones was already a massive lesson.
If he continued to bid and ended up using his own spirit stones to buy the other man's son's life, the loss would outweigh the gain.
"Alright, a thousand and ten catties. Any higher bids?"
The middle-aged man on the stage looked around, then smiled. "It seems there are none."
As he spoke, he pressed one hand against the stage.
As the array fluctuated, a black hole appeared on the stage. Four people walked out from inside, pushing two 500-kilogram scales.
The middle-aged man from the Tengu Tribe also took out five or six spatial rings and brought out all the spirit stones.
The group spent some time weighing them until, finally, the amount of spirit stones was sufficient.
They took the spirit stones and walked into the hole together, and the stage returned to its original state.
"This person is yours now. Whether you want to release him, kill him, or cripple him, I can accommodate your request,"
the middle-aged man in the theatrical costume said with a smile.
"This is my son, of course I want him released!"
The middle-aged man from the Tengu Tribe shouted loudly.
"Very well."
The man in costume pressed a hand against the cage, and the cage dissolved into vines and disappeared.
"Father!"
The young man immediately jumped down.
"Old Zhong, I'm sorry. All my spirit stones were used to save my son. I will take care of your wife and daughter."
The middle-aged man from the Tengu Tribe bowed deeply to the bald man up high, then pulled his son away.
The bald middle-aged man seemed to have known this would happen; his expression did not change.
"Alright, next is the second one, also from the Tengu Tribe."
The middle-aged man in costume pointed at the bald man and scanned the surroundings.
A long time passed, but no one spoke up.
"It seems no one is interested. Then we will dispose of him."
As soon as the voice faded, a four-headed monster appeared, grabbed the cage, and flew off into the depths.
"Next is the third person, from the Heavenly Demon Tribe."
The middle-aged man in the theatrical costume pointed at Fu Jinyu inside the cage.
