Chapter 1694

In a star universe near the desolate continent, there was a huge star.

On the star, an incomparably magnificent city was built.

This could be counted as a very popular city of treasure seekers within the Xuan-Yang World.

Many treasures were exchanged and circulated within this city.

And because there were powerhouses sitting in town, there was no need to worry about safety issues.

Many treasures and ancient objects of the Xuan-Yang World were exchanged within this city.

And within it, anything could be sold.

Including living beings.

And at this moment, within a fence as dirty as a pigsty.

There were over a thousand people here, in rags, the stench soaring to the heavens, kept in captivity like pigs and dogs.

Even the cultivators passing by frowned, carrying a look of disdain in their eyes, cursing them as mongrels.

That's right.

These thousand people looked like humans.

But in fact, they were not.

They were beings born from the mating of some Ba Clan creatures and humans.

Known as Human-Ba.

But whether they were human beings or Ba Clan creatures, both held such Human-Ba in great disdain.

Believing them to be mongrels, mixed-blood, and lowly pigs and dogs.

These Human-Ba did not obtain the talents of either clan.

Instead, they neutralized the disadvantages of both clans, becoming beings like inferior products.

And such mongrels had no meaning for living in the world at all.

Even being sold as slaves was the best outcome for these Human-Ba.

And among this group of Human-Ba.

A thin and petite figure was curled up alone in a corner.

That was a young girl, her whole body wrapped in a tattered gray cloth robe and hood.

One could vaguely see a small face under the hood, covered with filth and mud.

And shocking scars crisscrossed it.

It was hard to imagine that this was a young girl's face.

Probably the only thing that could slightly attract attention.

Was that this young girl had pale golden pupils.

This color was very faint; without looking carefully, one could not even notice it.

And her eyelashes were also very long.

Pale golden pupils and curled eyelashes made the young girl's eyes very beautiful and exquisite, like a work of art.

Probably this was the only bright spot on her body.

At this moment, the young girl curled up her body like a worm.

She did not know if she could live until tomorrow.

For Human-Ba, even living was a luxury.

"Perhaps, I shouldn't be living in this world, right?" the young girl whispered to herself.

Her voice was sweet, yet carried weakness and a trace of despair.

From the moment she had consciousness, she was alone.

Wherever she walked, flowers and grass would wither, and all things would fade; that was one of the characteristics of the Ba Clan.

In everyone's eyes, she was a dirty, lowly Human-Ba, a mongrel, a pig and dog.

In order not to let others bully her, she personally slashed her own face, turning herself into an ugly monster.

What young girl doesn't love beauty?

But she, however, was merciless.

Does it hurt?

But there was no other way.

Because only in this way could she retain a little of her own dignity and possess a pure body.

Although in the eyes of others, the bloodline of Human-Ba was inherently dirty and lowly.

For the young girl, she did not hope for how long she could live.

She only hoped to understand what the meaning of her existence in the world was.

There were still many things she did not understand.

For example, she often had dreams.

In the dream, there was a woman crying, her figure hazy, making it hard to see clearly.

Who was she?

Why was she crying?

And why would she be dreamed of by her?

The young girl did not know.

She only felt that her heart seemed to be hurting at the same time.

And just at this time, a figure descended into the void.

Looking down at these Human-Ba as lowly as pigs and dogs.

This person was naturally He Zixuan.

He swept over these Human-Ba, frowned, lightly covered his nose, and carried a look of deep disgust in his eyes.

The Ba Clan is the deadly enemy of Jixia Academy.

And these Human-Ba are even more mongrel-like existences.

A True Transmission Sage like He Zixuan naturally felt a kind of disgust and repulsion from the depths of his heart.

In his view, if these Human-Ba mongrels were sensible, they should commit suicide; at least that would count as having a little courage.

"My lord, these Human-Ba are all here."

On the side, a cultivator bowed and said obsequiously.

For him, a True Transmission Sage of Jixia Academy was already a monumental figure.

"I want all of these."

He Zixuan waved his hand, threw a few pieces of Divine Source to that cultivator, and then directly took these Human-Ba away.

That young girl was naturally included.

"Being able to be used by me is the greatest value of you mongrels," He Zixuan said coldly in his heart.

Although the Confucian Sect emphasizes benevolence and righteousness.

But in He Zixuan's view, these Human-Ba did not even count as humans; they were beings like pigs and dogs.

Since they were pigs and dogs, there was naturally no need to be merciful to them.

Soon, He Zixuan brought this batch of Human-Ba back to that desolate continent.

Chu Xiao had already been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing He Zixuan bring a group of people, Chu Xiao was initially confused.

But upon sensing the aura of those people, his brows also slightly furrowed.

"Ba Clan?"

He Zixuan smiled faintly and shook his head, saying, "These are not Ba Clan, just mongrels possessing Ba Clan bloodline."

"Could it be that Brother He's plan is..." Chu Xiao also understood instantly.

He Zixuan smiled slightly, turned his head, and said with an indifferent expression, "You all venture deep into that region, and you are not allowed to retreat; otherwise, don't blame this young master for being ruthless..."

For these Human-Ba, He Zixuan would not have a shred of pity.

Regarding this, Chu Xiao wanted to say something but stopped, yet he did not say much more.

A Son of Fortune, generally speaking, is relatively upright and righteous.

However, when touching upon his own interests, he would also adjust his kindness.

Those Human-Ba naturally did not dare to violate He Zixuan's will.

They could feel that He Zixuan could crush them to death with one finger.

Soon, these Human-Ba also began to venture deep into it.

And Chu Xiao suddenly frowned, as if he had a trace of an inexplicable feeling.

He turned his head and saw that among that group of Human-Ba.

There was a petite and thin figure.

For some reason, Chu Xiao's gaze inexplicably lingered on her.

As if it were some kind of subconscious action.

"Hmm?"

Chu Xiao frowned.

And as if having sensed something.

That petite and thin figure also slightly raised her head, revealing the small face under the hood.

Instantly, a face full of filth and scars entered Chu Xiao's eyes.

And what surprised him was.

That it was actually a young girl.

And although her appearance was ruined, she possessed a pair of angelically exquisite and beautiful pale golden pupils.

There was even a hint of nobility within them.

At the same time, Chu Xiao felt his own bloodline also have a slight reaction.

Of course, this reaction was too faint; even Chu Xiao himself doubted if this was an illusion.

And soon, the young girl lowered her head and continued walking forward.

Looking at the young girl's thin back, Chu Xiao suddenly had a question in his heart.

Does the Ba Clan have pale golden eyes?

"Brother Chu, what's wrong? You wouldn't care about the life or death of these mongrels, would you?" He Zixuan said with a faint smile.

"Ah... this, of course not," Chu Xiao was startled and said.

"Rest assured, we will be able to venture deep very soon," He Zixuan smiled, his eyes also carrying a hint of eagerness.

And Chu Xiao shook his head faintly and said, "Forget it, the opportunity in this place is the most important."

Chu Xiao no longer distracted himself, wholeheartedly focusing on the opportunity of this place.

And Chu Xiao also fundamentally did not know what he had missed because of this momentary lapse.
