Chapter 186
Thud. Thud.
Her small forehead struck the wooden planks of the crate with force. "Wu wu, Great Immortal, I’m begging you, wu wu..." Tears tumbled down from the corners of the little girl’s eyes.
Adam remained silent, he had set up a miniature sound-isolating formation near her crate, which was why the Mortal Supreme guard had not noticed anything.
He was certain that the moment she left the crate, she would be discovered by that expert, unless he exposed his true strength, there was no way she could escape.
But they were entering the Heavenly Void Mystic Realm tomorrow, and Adam could not afford unexpected variables.
"I cannot help you right now, tomorrow, the caravan will enter another world. At that time, I will leave, and I will release all of you. Whether you can escape will depend entirely on your own fortune." Adam spoke calmly.
The little girl’s body stiffened slightly, she knew she had no right to negotiate. Just having the master of this voice willing to help was already incredibly fortunate.
"I understand, thank you, Great Immortal!" She forcibly suppressed the intense anxiety in her heart and kowtowed heavily one last time.
"Stay quiet." Adam nodded.
She stopped speaking and curled back into the corner of the crate, her small body simply trembled as she occasionally murmured the word brother.
Seeing that she had stopped making noise, Adam looked toward the goatee man at the front of the caravan.
A cold, calculating glint flashed through his eyes.
Along the journey, he had utilized the caravan leader’s identity a few times to test the goatee man, indirectly inquiring about the purpose of these people.
Ultimately, he learned the truth.
Once they reached the Nova Clan, every one of them would be refined into pure blood-qi and condensed into supreme nourishing pills, Myriad Blood Pills.
In other words, every single one of them would eventually die.
The next day, the caravan packed everything up and embarked on the final half-day of the journey.
At noon, under the scorching sun, they entered a massive city called Jade Heavens City, one of the strongholds the Nova Imperial Clan operated within the Mysterious Yellow Great World.
Because of the goatee man’s presence, the caravan entered after only a superficial identity check.
Adam’s own identity could withstand any scrutiny, he had spent a hefty sum buying legitimate identities across various countries and cities along the way.
There was nothing particularly special inside the city.
The cultivators walking the streets were simply of a generally higher realm, furthermore, many people’s clothing resembled styles from the Heavenly Void Mystic Realm.
There were likely many who had crossed over from that side.
The caravan did not stop, following the goatee man directly to a massive Gate of Light.
Many porters were absolutely amazed, this was a spectacle they had never witnessed in their lives.
Adam, however, was observing the guards stationed beside the Gate of Light.
They were all Mortal Supremes who had reached the Proving the Dao realm, the absolute ceiling of combat power in this world.
From the other side of the Gate, Adam could faintly sense a genuine threat, the guards there were at the Heaven and Earth Deity realm without question.
Aside from them, several other merchant caravans identical to theirs were also present, all transporting the same waist-high crates.
Adam and the others followed the caravan leader and received identity tokens from a guard, formation patterns flowed across the tokens’ surface, only by possessing one could a person pass through the Gate of Light.
Once through, the tokens had to be returned to guards on the other side.
Looking at these caravans, Adam subtly slipped a medicinal pill from his sleeve, without anyone noticing, he dropped it into the middle of the caravan group.
Suddenly, the pill ignited on its own, plumes of green smoke instantly began to spread.
"Fire!" Everyone before the Gate of Light was stunned, by the time they reacted, the green smoke had blanketed the entire plaza.
A tremendous rumble followed, every crate on all the caravans began shaking violently, every person inside had woken up.
Although Adam had not discovered exactly why the Nova Imperial Clan wanted to refine Myriad Blood Pills, as an enemy of the Nova Clan, and considering this act completely defied the heavens and all moral reasoning, he naturally would not let them have their way.
The Nova Clan wanted to keep the outside world from knowing they were secretly buying slaves, then he would make sure this matter became known to absolutely everyone.
To be safe, the Nova Clan had spent a hefty sum feeding these people Turtle Breath Pills, keeping them in deep slumber for the entire journey, perhaps one or two defective pills might cause someone to wake early, which was why they dispatched guards.
They could quietly silence those one or two people.
But what if all of them woke up? And right at this checkpoint filled with countless idle onlookers?
Kill them all? Then the massive price they paid and the effort of transporting them thousands of miles would be completely wasted.
Forcefully take them away under the watchful eyes of the public? Did the Nova Imperial Clan no longer care about their reputation?
Adam was very curious to see how the Nova Clan would handle this exact dilemma.
Countless crates tumbled from the carriages and crashed to the ground, shattering wooden planks everywhere.
One person after another was revealed from within.
There were beggar children in tattered rags and wealthy young masters in luxurious clothes, everyone looked around in sheer confusion, completely unable to understand why they were here.
Where is this place? Who are all these people?
Passing pedestrians, whose attention had already been drawn by the green smoke, were even more astounded to see so many people spilling out of wooden crates.
Why were these people locked in crates?
The guards of the Nova Imperial Clan all widened their eyes.
What the hell is going on? What was that green smoke? Why did it wake everyone up?
