“What is that?” The little white tiger suddenly stopped walking . It saw from afar several shabbily-dressed girls shivering in fear as they stood on a wooden stage .

Surrounding the stage were numerous wooden cages that were as tall as a person, and many dejected males and females were locked in it .
Ye Qingtang stopped in her tracks slowly and looked in the direction that the little white tiger was looking at .
When she saw the young girls whose limbs were chained, her brows furrowed automatically .
The biggest difference between the underground black market and other places was the trafficking of slaves .

Slave trafficking was forbidden in both Formidable Heavens Dynasty and Nine Nights Dynasty, though such prohibition was merely on the surface . In Nine Nights Dynasty’s underground black market, slave trafficking was still quietly carried out .
Years ago, slave trafficking was completely prohibited in the Nine Nights Dynasty . However, ever since the previous Emperor was down with illness and the young Emperor succeeded the position, this forbidden transaction started again .
Although the masses never mentioned it, everyone knew that the slave trafficking in the Nine Nights Dynasty was controlled by the premier Qin Long in reality .
Currently, Qin Long presided over political affairs, and the Emperor was young and ignorant . Thus, no one could stop the trafficking of slaves .

With Qin Long as their backer, the slave owners were emboldened, and the transaction of slaves was all the more carried out in the open .
There were a few muscular men who each held a barbed leather whip standing on both sides of the stage with fierce and evil expressions . Their bulky bodies were a starking contrast from those shabby young ladies .
Despair and horror were etched on the faces of those young ladies . They could only stick to each other while trembling, yet their fear was an admiration pleasure of the buyers who were below the wooden stage .
The slave masters waved the leather whip every now and then, making a loud sound . Frightened, those young ladies were shocked to an ash-white shade as they shrieked and whimpered softly . However, their despair and horror attracted the laughter of the onlookers .

“These are the new arrivals just sent a few days ago . I promise that you all will not be disappointed . ” A big and fleshy male who stood on the wooden stage laughed as he looked down at the buyers below . As he spoke, he reached out and pulled a young girl over, completely ignoring her struggle and pleas . He ripped her tattered clothes apart, crushing her dignity, and exposed her before everyone .
“Tsk tsk . You humans actually have such a special hobby . ” The little white tiger understood what was happening already . Those girls and the people in the cage were being sold as a commodity by those fellows who were also humans .
Ye Qingtang’s face darkened .
In her previous life, when she came to the black market, she was mostly led by her other martial brothers, and they intentionally avoided the areas with slave trafficking . This was the first time Ye Qingtang witnessed the scene of a slave trafficking .
As the onlookers laughed, the girl who was dragged out cried at the top of her lungs . However, her tears did not bring any compassion and instead excited the buyers .
Right at that instant, a male in luxurious clothes arrived in the crowd with a few followers . While that man was dressed gorgeously, his face was exceptionally hideous, and his twisted features seemed to have been burnt before .
