Chapter 1131

Turning her head to glance at the surrounding devastation, she rose quickly and swiftly searched the entire slave-trading venue, naturally encountering some of the venue's security personnel along the way.

For these people, General Ji Xia naturally showed no mercy, ending their lives with a single slash.

Finally, at a corner, she spotted an experimenter in a white lab coat and mask; with his help, she located the secret laboratory hidden within the slave-trading venue.

Once inside, most of the personnel were experimenters in white lab coats and masks, which conveniently aided General Ji Xia's disguise.

Because even before entering, she had changed into the same white lab coat and put on a mask, trying to conceal her identity and pretend to be a staff member as she moved about inside!

Here, she saw alchemical experiments and the development of a potion with an unknown effect; checking the experiment logs, she realized these madmen had been injecting a potion called Beast Transformation Type III into the slaves.

After being injected with the potion, the slaves would suffer tremendous pain; their strength and speed would increase significantly, their bodies would undergo a certain degree of mutation—growing long tusks and manes and the like—becoming as if they were magical beasts.

But very soon, the terrifying power of the potion fully manifested; slaves who were too violent to endure would simply explode and die inside the transparent experimental tanks.

Only a very small number survived; even if they luckily survived, the experimenters' brains would suffer incurable damage, becoming Bai Chi or non-human—like magical beasts with only instinct and no intelligence.

Among those who luckily survived, naturally there were also experimental subjects who survived without losing their sanity; these subjects would undergo a second round of experiments, and only once the beast transformation was fully stabilized and controllable would they be sent elsewhere.

As for where that place was, these experimenters did not know.

At the same time, the laboratory here was also constantly improving this potion, trying to make its power more stable and the success rate higher.

According to the experiment logs, General Ji Xia discovered that recently two experimental subjects had succeeded—one male, one female, only sixteen years old, apparently a pair of siblings.

"These animals!"

The experiment log in her hand was torn to shreds in anger.

"Eh, you there, what are you doing? That's a precious experiment log, how could you just…."

"Swirling Blossom!"

The spinning short blade flew swiftly from her hand, precisely slitting the other's throat, then flew back into General Ji Xia's hand.

One experimenter collapsing dead instantly drew the attention and panic of the other experimenters.

"Who on earth are you? How did you get in here?" A nearby experimenter was so scared he wet himself on the spot, giving off a stench of urine.

"The one who will kill you!"

General Ji Xia cast a contemptuous glance at the other, then directly finished him off with a single sword strike.

There were simply no security personnel inside the laboratory; even when the alarm sounded it was useless, and the few security staff were almost all outside in the slave venue—and those people had long since been wiped out by General Ji Xia.

Trapped inside the sealed laboratory, these experimenters simply could not escape; only some high-ranking personnel knew of a secret passage, but without a key that passage could not be opened at all.

· ·······Seeking flowers····· ·····

"Where is the key?"

"I-in the master's office."

"Then go get it, now!"

"Yes."

An experimenter quickly brought a special silver key; after several high-ranking experimenters in charge of potion development opened the secret passage, they immediately began to flee.

But by now, the personnel inside the entire laboratory were few and far between—most had been killed by General Ji Xia; a few escaped, and she did not continue to pursue them.

Instead, she went to the place where the siblings were held, opened the iron Qiulong Sect, and set them free.

"You are free—never come back here again. Remember! Always hide your identities; don't let people discover you."

"W-who are you?"

The Qiulong Sect had been suddenly opened; the siblings imprisoned inside had long since smelled the blood drifting in from outside, and had just been wondering whether they could use this chaos to escape.

But before they could, the Qiulong Sect was opened by someone else.

From the words, the other party clearly already knew about them.

"That is not heavy; what matters is that you are free." With that, General Ji Xia turned and left, heading to free the other imprisoned experimental subjects and slaves.

The slaves imprisoned outside the laboratory also needed her to free them.

Tonight was destined to be an unsettled night.

For the magical-beast traffickers in the sewers beneath Beast Pen City, it was a day comparable to history.

Under the lead of a mysterious figure in black, a great number of slaves rose in revolt and regained their freedom.

Hundreds upon thousands of slaves walked out from the slave venue, their clothes tattered, their bodies covered in wounds, yet their eyes filled with longing for freedom.
