Sasi Town was a remote town outside the Starry Sky City. The population of this town was relatively small, only a few hundred people. Among them, the mayor was the strongest.
The layout of this town was similar to that of Huping City. There was only one city in this vast area. Outside the city, cultivators gathered. No matter how big or small they were, they were all called towns.
These towns were also divided into three, six, and nine classes based on their size. Sasi Town was undoubtedly the lowest of the nine classes.
In the Nether Realm, there was day and night, but there was no starry sky, moon, or sun.
The darkness dispersed and the day came. It was dawn.
A special team came to the town at dawn.
It was called special because the cultivators in this team were all humans.
This was a team of ten people. The leader was Zi Chen, and there were four other titled cultivators. In addition, there were Wushuang, Dark Mantle, Lang Wei, Man Shi, and Hammer.
There was no fence outside the town. The ten people swaggered in.
Battle spirits lived here, but they also needed to make a living. So, there were all kinds of side businesses. Although this place was small, it had all the essentials. Although it was small, there were taverns, inns, and shops.
In the morning, these shops opened. The battle spirit stall owners walked out and saw this team.
They were surprised at first, thinking that business had come, but when they saw who it was, their expressions changed drastically.
"Humans, they're humans."
"Humans have come to our town."
The battle spirits of other races exclaimed and rushed out of the shops. They didn't even care about the business. They gathered around curiously, as if they were looking at a new species.
In this world, humans could indeed be called a new species.
"Humans, it's the first time I've seen humans since my awakening."
A slightly old battle spirit looked at Zi Chen and the others and couldn't help but sigh. In his eyes, there was a cold light.
"Humans, I haven't seen them for a long time." Another person sighed.
"I didn't expect humans to come to our remote town. Looks like we're in luck."
A battle spirit who looked like a businessman looked at Zi Chen and the others with unrestrained greed in his eyes.
These battle spirits surrounded Zi Chen and the others. They kept sighing but didn't attack immediately.
Not only did they not attack, but they also did not try to guess how Zi Chen and the others came here. After a while, an old man sighed and said, "These humans must have mistakenly entered our place."
"Even if it was a mistake, he should still be killed." A battle spirit said indifferently.
"Kill? That would be a waste." The business-like cultivator quickly shook his head.
"If we don't kill them, should we keep them and worship them?"
The old man said coldly. His aura surged around him. He was actually a battle spirit at the peak of the first domain realm. His realm was on par with Zi Chen.
When the Merchant Battle Spirit saw that the old man was angry, he quickly smiled and said, "You don't know, but this human is really a good thing. He has a lot of uses. It's a pity to kill him. If he was handed over to me, I can guarantee that I can make a lot of money."
"Really?" The old man's eyes lit up.
"It's true. Conservatively speaking, we can earn several hundred star crystals." The merchant smiled confidently.
"Alright, then take it quickly." The old man nodded and gestured for the merchant to take Zi Chen and the others away.
Poor Zi Chen and the others. They had been sold by the old man before they could say a word.
The others couldn't take it anymore. They all claimed that they were the ones who found the humans first and wanted to get a share.
A light cough interrupted the battle spirits who were still trying to get a share. Zi Chen looked at the group of battle spirits and said with a smile, "Excuse me, where can I buy a map of this place?"
"A map. Where do you want to go?" The old man sneered.
"I want to go to the Starry Sky City." Zi Chen said honestly.
The old man curled his lips in disdain and said, "The Starry Sky City? You want to go to the Starry Sky City? We'll see if you can walk out of here."
Zi Chen pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Because you have to die," the old man said coldly.
"You and I have a grudge. I'm just here to ask for directions," Zi Chen said.
"There's no grudge, but you have to die. The humans and we can't coexist together."
Zi Chen nodded to show that he understood. He then said disdainfully, "If that's the case, you don't know where the Starry Sky City is, right? Seeing that you live here, you don't go out much. I really don't know how you got here."
Zi Chen's disdainful tone angered the old man. The latter wanted to kill him but was stopped by the merchant.
The merchant seemed very anxious. He wanted to appease the crowd and promised them benefits.
"Wei Wu, how dare you touch my property without my permission."
A loud shout rang out from the noisy crowd. As the shout rang out, the ground began to tremble.
Wei Wu was the merchant. When he heard this, his expression changed and a trace of annoyance flashed across his face. The expressions of those who had just received benefits also changed.
The one who shouted out was a tall and large battle spirit. As he walked, he deliberately stirred up his aura, causing the earth to tremble.
When the others looked at this battle spirit, their eyes were filled with fear and reverence.
"Lord Mayor."
With the merchant in the lead, a group of people quickly stepped forward and bowed. It turned out that this battle spirit was the strongest person in the town.
The Mayor snorted at the merchant. Then, his gaze fell on Zi Chen and the others. After his gaze swept across Zi Chen and the others, the Mayor's eyes fell on Jin Qingcheng and Wushuang. His eyes flashed.
"Wei Wu, tell me what these humans are for." The Mayor opened his mouth. His voice was very loud and his voice was very loud.
"Lord, after these humans are taken to other places and processed, they can be sold for a good price. However, I don't know the details, but they can definitely be sold for a good price," the merchant replied respectfully.
A group of proud sons of heaven, at this moment, were being sold here and there like livestock. Their faces were all filled with anger.
However, how could the battle spirit care about the expressions of the humans?
The others were like this, and the Mayor was even more so. He looked around and pointed at Jin Qingcheng and Wushuang. He said, "Leave these two human girls to me. As for the rest of the humans, you can deal with them. However, I want 60% of the reward."
"Yes, yes."
The merchant hurriedly nodded. However, he was slandering this greedy fellow in his heart. If he wanted 60% alone, how could he divide the remaining 40% among so many people?
Since the Mayor had come out, there shouldn't be any stronger existences here. Hence, Zi Chen asked the Mayor again, "You should have a map with you, right?"
"What map?" The Mayor looked at Zi Chen with a displeased expression.
"The map to Starry Sky City," Zi Chen said.
The Mayor said impatiently, "I also have the map to the Recruitment Platform. What use do you have for a person who is about to die?"
The words' Recruitment Platform 'made Zi Chen's heart skip a beat.
He didn't directly slaughter the town. Instead, he chose to come here to inquire about the location of the Recruitment Platform. He originally thought that he could find the location of the Recruitment Platform with a comprehensive map. However, it seemed that wasn't the case.
"Isn't the Recruitment Platform in Starry Sky City?" Zi Chen asked in confusion.
Laughter came from all around. One of the battle spirits said disdainfully, "It's true that the Recruitment Platform is in Starry Sky City. However, there is more than one Recruitment Platform here."
Zi Chen nodded to show that he understood. He then looked at the Mayor and asked, "Do you really have the map to the Recruitment Platform?"
"Of course. Why? Do you want to return to the human world through the Recruitment Platform? Let me tell you, it's useless. The Recruitment Platform can only receive, not teleport," the Mayor said disdainfully.
"Then where is the map? Is it in your mind or on your body?" Zi Chen asked again.
"Of course it's on my body. As for in my mind …" The Mayor's proud expression froze. He couldn't say what he wanted to say next.
This was because a saber light like a waterfall appeared in front of Zi Chen and swept towards the Mayor's neck.
The saber light flashed and disappeared. The Mayor's head was separated from his body and flew into the sky before rolling on the ground.
This scene happened too quickly. It was so fast that it was inconceivable.
By the time the other battle spirits reacted, blood had already sprayed all over their bodies.
"He's dead. He killed the Mayor."
"The Mayor was the strongest, but he was killed by a single slash."
The crowd of battle spirits quickly retreated, their faces filled with shock.
"Kill, kill these humans."
"He just sneak-attacked the Mayor. His battle strength isn't strong."
A battle spirit in the distance shouted loudly. Then, cold light surged and waves of killing intent surged.
Zi Chen put away his saber and walked towards the Mayor's corpse. He took off a white jade ring from the Mayor's hand.
This was a spatial ring. As Zi Chen probed with his spiritual sense, he found many things in these rings.
Most of them were crystals that emitted light. These lights were very similar to starlight in the night. They should be the star crystals that the businessman mentioned earlier.
In addition to the star crystals, there were also some weapons, but Zi Chen didn't care about them.
In the corner, Zi Chen saw a jade slip. This jade slip was the map that Zi Chen needed. As he probed with his spiritual sense, the location of the Recruitment Platform was indeed marked.
The Recruitment Platform was used to receive battle spirits. After arriving at the Alien Tribe's residence, Hammer informed Zi Chen and asked for information about the Recruitment Platform.
Zi Chen originally thought that there was only one Recruitment Platform, which was in Starry Sky City. He guessed that these people came from Starry Sky City. However, this didn't seem to be the case.
"Kill."
After obtaining the map, Zi Chen was relieved. His mission was completed. He glanced around and killing intent surged in his eyes.
The others, who couldn't wait, roared angrily. They turned into streams of light and charged forward, their bodies surging with powerful auras.
"You little thing, how dare you sell your Grandpa Man Man out."
Man Shi flashed in front of the businessman. He raised his hand and slapped the businessman, causing him to vomit blood and fly backward.
In the town, the strongest Mayor was only at the Second Domain Realm. The strength of the others was not worth mentioning.
Therefore, there was no suspense in this battle. It was a complete massacre.
At first, these battle spirits were still resisting. However, when they saw their companions fall one by one, they were scared out of their wits and turned to flee.
Outside the town, the remaining 90 people had been waiting for a long time. In their eyes, these escaping battle spirits were rich numbers of luck points.
Therefore, as soon as these battle spirits rushed out, they were killed by the humans outside.
