In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 61 This feel is really good.
The nun, already furious because of these human traffickers, immediately darkened her expression: "What is it?"

In response to the question posed by Abbess Wujue, an Emei disciple hurriedly bowed and said, "Reporting to the elder, there is a group of people outside who claim to be from the Yang Family Escort Agency. They heard that we have captured human traffickers and want to see the elder."

"Yang Family Escort Agency?" Abbess Juejue's voice was low, her brows furrowed into a deep frown.

The first thought that came to mind was that the person who came was an accomplice of the human trafficker.

After thinking for a moment, Abbess Insulation finally spoke up: "Bring them in."

A moment later, a series of hurried and suppressed footsteps sounded, and Gu Shaoan looked up.

A middle-aged man dressed in ochre-colored close-fitting clothes, with a burly build and a face that was both anxious and fierce, jogged to the door of the woodshed, accompanied by several bodyguards dressed in similar close-fitting clothes.

As they approached, the intermittent painful groans emanating from the woodshed, along with the faint smell of blood in the air, caused the leader, Chief Escort Yang, to shrink his pupils.

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply to the nun outside the door, his voice filled with an indescribable urgency and a hint of hoarseness:
"I am Yang Tie, the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) of the Yang Family Escort Agency in Baijiang Prefecture! I apologize for disturbing the peaceful cultivation of you Emei heroines, but it was truly unavoidable!"

He looked up, his eyes filled with pleading and anxiety. "I heard that your sect has captured a group of human traffickers? May I ask, nun, have you seen a girl named Yang Yan, who is about eleven or twelve years old and wearing a pale yellow dress?"

"Ok?"

Looking at Yang Tie, who was anxious and had bloodshot eyes, Abbess Wujue seemed to understand something, and the wariness in her eyes eased abruptly.

Subsequently, through Yang Tie's description, the group learned that Yang Tie had originally come to Yunyang Prefecture as a镖师 (bodyguard/escort).

Two days ago, his daughter got separated from several bodyguards on the road and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The镖局 (security escort agency) members, along with government officials, searched the entire city, but to no avail.

I heard outside the inn that they had captured human traffickers, so I rushed over.

As he finished speaking, the towering man's voice trembled with a sob, and his eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating that he was overcome with worry and anxiety.

"Yang Yan?"

Gu Shaoan, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

After thinking for a moment, I couldn't recall where I had heard it from.

Looking at Yang Tie, who was pale and had dark circles under his eyes and was obviously exhausted, Abbess Wujue did not rush to speak, but instead turned to an elder beside her.

"Junior Sister Juexin seems to have stayed in Baijiang Prefecture for a period of time. Have you ever heard of the Yang Family Escort Agency?"

In response to the question posed by Abbess Wujue, an Emei elder nodded and said, "I have indeed heard of a well-regarded and reasonably priced escort agency called Yang Family Escort Agency."

Upon hearing this, Abbess Insulation nodded, refocusing her gaze on Yang Tie, her vigilance decreasing further.

“We have just interrogated these human traffickers, but all we know is that they have indeed been searching for young women and children in Yunyang Prefecture these past few days. However, I cannot guarantee whether your daughter is among them.”

"However, I have already interrogated them to find out where they hid those women and children. Once my Emei sect has rescued them, you can come and identify them then."

Yang Tie's face lit up with joy, and he clasped his hands in a fist again, saying urgently, "Please, Master, allow us from the escort agency to help."

Looking at Yang Tie's urgent yet pleading eyes, Abbess Insulation knew that if she didn't let him participate in the rescue, he would probably be even more tormented.

Just then, Gu Shaoan spoke up: "Uncle-Master, we have captured those human traffickers for some time now. The news has spread. If those human traffickers find out that their accomplices have been captured by us, they will probably flee in panic."

"If they were any more inhumane, they might just go all out and attack the young women and children. The situation is critical, and rescuing them is the priority."

“If you are worried about these people, just take this Uncle Yang with you, and have another uncle keep an eye on them along the way.”

Upon hearing Gu Shaoan's words, Abbess Juequan knew that she could not delay any longer.

He immediately nodded and said, "As you say."

Then she turned to Yang Tie and said, "You go ahead alone." Yang Tie excitedly clasped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Master, thank you, young brother."

Having made her decision, Abbess Juejue no longer hesitated and began to give orders to the Emei disciples, and sent someone to the yamen to notify the government.

At midday, the sun was blazing.

In the west of the city, outside an abandoned dyehouse, Emei disciples, taking advantage of the cicadas' chirping, approached the dyehouse from different directions.

Inside the dyehouse, dozens of human traffickers were leisurely strolling around, clearly unaware of what was happening in the city.

After Elders such as Insulation and Determination personally and quietly dealt with the hidden stakes in the surrounding area, they led a group of Emei disciples into the dye shop.

Inside the dyehouse, Gu Shaoan leaped into the air, like an eagle suddenly descending, and slammed his right palm onto the crown of a slave trader.

A powerful palm strike surged forth, and in an instant, Gu Shaoan could even feel something brittle cracking beneath his palm.

[Congratulations to the player for defeating the slave trader, achievement points +5]

As his feet touched the ground, a notification popped up in the corner of his eye.

Gu Shaoan scratched his right hand, savoring the feeling of killing the slave trader with the "Immortal Touching My Head" move from the "Golden Top Cotton Palm" technique.

"This feels really good."

Muttering something under his breath, Gu Shaoan circulated his internal energy, lightly stomped on the ground, and used the force to lift himself up, rushing to the front of a slave trader with a knife once again, shattering the top of his head with his palm.

Faced with the Emei elders, including Abbess Juequan, and disciples like Gu Shaoan who showed no mercy, how could the rabble in the dyehouse possibly stand a chance?

They were even less troublesome than the bandits in the Blackwood Mountain bandit den.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the dozens of human traffickers in the dyehouse were killed.

Having completely eliminated the last person, Abbess Insulation flashed to the warehouse door and struck out with a powerful palm strike.

The wooden gate immediately burst open with a crash.

The slave traders inside the door, who were holding knives, trembled in surprise at the sudden commotion.

Before the group could react, Abbess Wujue had already tiptoed to the ground and rushed to their side like a gentle breeze. With a flash of sword light, she beheaded all three of them without any hesitation.

As Gu Shaoan and Zhou Zhiruo, along with other Emei disciples, entered the storeroom, they were immediately met with a strong, almost filthy stench!

When they finally saw the scene inside, the Emei disciples were immediately stunned.

There were more than twenty children, some as young as seven or eight and others as old as eleven or twelve, with their hands and feet bound by ropes, carelessly discarded like sacks in a cold, filthy pile of straw that reeked of urine.

Not far from these children, there were also dozens of young women.

Most of them were dressed in fairly neat clothes, but their faces were as pale as paper, their hair was disheveled, their eyes were unfocused, and there were obvious signs of struggle and bruises from being tied up.

They huddled in the corner in fear, hugging their knees, their bodies trembling like leaves in the wind, staring at the intruder with dread and distrust.

"A sin!"

Yang Tie clenched his teeth, his fists cracked, and his tiger-like eyes were filled with tears.

At the instruction of Abbess Wujue, a group of Emei disciples quickly stepped forward, comforting the children and women while cutting the ropes binding them.

At this moment, Gu Shaoan frowned slightly.

"No, the number of people here doesn't seem to match what the brokers at the inn said."
