Chapter 681: Giving them a choice
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Fatty Qu answered Sima You Yue’s question without thinking, “The slave ring contains the mark of the Power. Every slave ring is different, and the removal method is different too. That’s why the best way isn’t to look for me, but to look for the key.”
Ol’ Wu was tossed outside the large palace along with the rest of the Brave Moon Sect. when he saw Sima You Yue look at him, he almost fainted from fright.
“The key?” She smiled in question.
Sima You Yue felt like her smile was rather charming, but Ol’ Wu felt as if it he had seen a devil.
“I don’t have the key.” Ol’ Wu said. When he saw her expression fall, he was so afraid that she would burn off his other leg in anger that he quickly explained, “The slave ring’s key really isn’t with me. I’m merely the person in charge of putting it on them. I’m not in charge of taking it off.”
“Then where is the key?”
“In the hands of tenth elder.”
“Which one is tenth elder?”
“He isn’t here.”
“Where is he?”
“He returned to the sect.”
“Is he the strongest of you all?”
“The tenth elder truly is the most powerful of us all.”
“Why did he go back?”
“We have to fix a date to send all the crystals and precious stones that we dig out back to the sect.”
“When will he be back?”
He was unwilling to speak, but Sima You Yue glanced at his right leg and he immediately turned obedient.
“They usually go for five days.”
Five days. This meant that this was the third day?
“Will they usually contact this place?” Sima You Lin asked.
“They will. We have to send word to them everyday. When tenth elder is around, he’s in charge, but when he’s not, I’m the one who has to do it.” Ol’ Wu did not dare mess around when he saw the look with which Sima You Yue was giving him.
“Then you have to send word to them for these three days.” Sima You Lin said, “If something is off about the message you send, you can kiss your right leg goodbye. It will also be slower than it was the previous day.”
“I- I won’t.” Ol’ Wu quickly lowered his head to hide the look in his eyes.
These people wouldn’t know they usually reported things here. If he used this way to ask the sect for help, they would have a chance at survival if tenth elder came back with reinforcements!
He could feel Sima You Yue’s gaze and the little plan he had immediately died out. She would definitely not give him the opportunity to send out the message.
As expected, Sima You Yue got a few managers together and separately asked them how they usually sent back word.
This way, even if he asked for help, he would be burnt away completely long before tenth elder managed to arrive with reinforcements.
As such, he had no choice but to send back word in the same way as he did before.
On the second day, the warship brought a group of slaves back, and when the slaves got off the ship, they naturally headed towards the inner city.
