Martial Master

Qin Chen naturally didn’t know that people from the Liao Zhong Chamber of Commerce were also heading to the Demon Cultivation Building, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. At this moment, his greatest concern was for the disciple of the Chen Di Pavilion named Zheng Ruohan. As a woman, if she were taken to a place like the Demon Cultivation Building, what good could come of it?

Moreover, the fat Martial Emperor had previously mentioned that Zheng Ruohan had been taken there for two to three days already. Who knew what her situation was now?

In his anxiety, Qin Chen sped through Tianlei City like a bolt of lightning, his speed unimaginable.

Inside the Demon Cultivation Building, Zheng Ruohan was confined to a bed, her face a mask of terror. It was her third day here; previously, she had been imprisoned in a secret chamber of the building. It was only just now that she had been brought to this room filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

The entire room was draped in red, exuding a suggestive air. Red silk hung down, and various incenses burned, making one drowsy.

This was an aphrodisiac incense. Ever since Zheng Ruohan entered, her body had begun to heat up. Her face was flushed, and an indescribable sensation spread through her body, akin to countless ants crawling over her.

Yet there was no lust in her eyes, only despair and fear.

In her three days of confinement, she had witnessed the fates of too many women like herself. They were taken out intact, but when brought back, they were covered in bruises, having been ravaged beyond recognition, their eyes vacant, as if their spirits had been lost.

Some of these women were even at the Martial King or Martial Emperor levels when they went out, but when carried back, they were mere cripples, their primal energy depleted, some even reduced to stiff corpses. She had even seen someone whose entire essence and blood had been drained, becoming a mummified corpse by the time they were brought back.

This place was a hellhole, a place that women dreaded speaking of, and it wasn’t just women. It was said that some prominent figures here had peculiar tastes, specifically seeking male companions. Even male martial artists found this place to be a nightmare.

Zheng Ruohan knew that once she was here, there was no chance of leaving alive. From what she heard from other sisters, the Demon Cultivation Building had an extensive background in Tianlei City, and no one who was captured had ever escaped.

Zheng Ruohan had long foreseen her fate. She had considered suicide many times, but here, even that was not an option. They had seals placed on their bodies, their true essence locked away, turning them into lambs awaiting slaughter.

It was said her luck was relatively good; she had been here for a few days before being sent up. Some were sent up directly upon arrival, their fates unknown. But this endless, fearful wait only deepened Zheng Ruohan's despair and terror.

"Wu Shang, I'm sorry, Ruohan will never see you again, I'm sorry." Tears slipped down Zheng Ruohan's cheeks. Before death, she thought of Xia Wushang and recalled her time with the Chen Di Pavilion. Strangely, she felt no regret. If it weren't for the Chen Di Pavilion, she wouldn't have met Wu Shang or had so many beautiful memories.

She remembered joining the Chen Di Pavilion, and from the first moment she saw Xia Wushang, her eyes were filled with him: this handsome, noble, sunny, cheerful prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, the number one genius of the dynasty, without any airs, just like an ordinary person.

In the Chen Di Pavilion, everyone was like brothers and sisters, everyone so friendly.

But she came from an ordinary royal family and didn’t dare confess her feelings to Xia Wushang, let alone reveal any emotions. She just silently liked Xia Wushang, working hard at her cultivation, hoping one day to assist him and be worthy of him.

Fate had surprised her, rewarded her. With her diligent cultivation, her skills advanced rapidly, and she was lucky enough to be chosen to go to the Northern Heaven Region with Wu Shang. Later, she was selected by Lord Black Slave to come to the Martial Domain.
