The Red Fox Saint glanced at him and sneered, "Oh, you knew that too? When that master was here, there weren't even any slaves in Myriad Beasts City. You four city lords have only been in charge for a few years, and Myriad Beasts City has been run like this. It's ridiculous."

The Lord of East City choked and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing him choking, the Red Fox Saint's expression grew increasingly disdainful. "If it weren't for that lord coming out of retreat early, I wouldn't have come forward to help you."

"You—" The East City Lord was irritated by the disdainful expression on the Red Fox Saint's face and finally couldn't help but speak out, but was stopped by the North City Lord who came over just in time the next second: "Alright, alright, stop talking. We're all doing this to get the Lord City Lord out of seclusion early. Why argue about such irrelevant things?"

Hearing this, Su Qianqian couldn't help but look at a few people in confusion. Didn't they capture the slaves for the purpose of praying for rain as a sacrifice? Why did they involve the city lord now?

Could there be something else going on in this matter that she doesn't know? !

At this moment, the Lord of South City came over with a bowl of meat soup and said with a smile: "The Saint Lady is right, this little girl is the most suitable for sacrifice, but she is a little too thin. I just have a bowl of meat soup here, give it to this little girl."

Hearing the voice, Su Qianqian subconsciously looked towards the Lord of Nancheng. His pretending to be friendly face was full of scheming and calculation.

The Lord of North City, who was standing nearby, seemed to have realized something and kept saying "yes, yes, yes" as he helped push the bowl of broth in front of Su Qianqian. "Little girl, you've probably never tasted broth in all your life, right? This bowl of broth is a reward for you."

Su Qianqian glanced at the broth in front of her and felt something was wrong!

This bowl of broth seemed to be specially prepared. It had been cold for a long time and there was a layer of oil on the broth, which looked disgusting.

Seeing that Su Qianqian didn't move, the South City Lord's face darkened instantly: "Why, you want to drink?"

"Hmph, you little girl, you're so shameless!" The Lord of North City glanced at her impatiently and said directly to the Lord of South City, "Give her the medicine!"

Seeing this, Su Qianqian calmly touched the storage ring with her finger.

At this moment, the West City Lord, who had been silent the entire time, finally couldn't help but speak up. "Enough! Do you still have any heart? She's just a five or six-year-old beast cub. Why are you pushing her like this?"

"Why, didn't the Lord of West City say that he would no longer care about our affairs?" The Lord of South City cast a cold glance at him.

Xi Jue glanced at the broth, gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "If you don't want the matter to be exposed, don't go too far."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the three city lords instantly turned gloomy. They all glanced at the Red Fox Saint who was still beside them, and then exchanged glances before putting the broth away.

The Red Fox Saint seemed oblivious to the veiled exchange between the three city lords. Regarding Su Qianqian's refusal to drink the broth, she simply waved her hand nonchalantly, saying, "Alright, if she doesn't want to eat, forget it. I've got my eye on this little girl. Her blood can't tolerate even the slightest bit of filth. It's perfectly fine that she doesn't eat. You guys should quickly lock her up."

The three city lords said yes in succession, and then sent two orc warriors in to take Su Qianqian to another passage in the cave.

It turns out that slaves were really imprisoned in here!

A gleam of light flashed in Su Qianqian's eyes, and she silently followed the orc warrior into the passage.

However, just as she stepped into the passage, she suddenly heard the faint voice of the South City Lord: "Time is running out. Quickly send someone to make a few more pots of broth for those slaves. Make sure every one of them..."

The last few words were too far away, and Su Qianqian couldn't hear them clearly.

But from this we can see that there is indeed something wrong with that bowl of broth!

Except for the West City Lord who has a little conscience, it is impossible for these three city lords to be so kind as to make broth for the slaves. There must be something wrong with this broth!

The passage was pitch black and visibility was very low.

The passage went all the way down, and it became narrower and narrower as it went down. The two orc warriors walked very slowly, and it took them about ten minutes to reach the place where the slaves were actually held.

Su Qianqian looked around subconsciously. The cave where the slaves were imprisoned was built underground. No wonder she couldn't find it.

The light in the cave was still very dim. There were a few torches hanging on the stone wall next to it, and the surrounding environment could barely be seen. The slaves were imprisoned in this narrow underground cave, which was pitch black.

But without exception, their faces were extremely pale and they leaned against the wall very weakly.

"Stay inside and don't try to escape!" The two orc warriors pushed Su Qianqian into the pile of slaves and turned away.

As soon as they left, the weak slaves gathered around them, trying to hold on. "How did you get caught here too?"

"Xiaojiu!" The mountain cat pounced on him impatiently, his weak voice filled with panic, "Didn't I tell you to hide there? Why did you run out?"

Su Qianqian looked at the extremely pale mountain cat and couldn't help but sigh, then silently took off the disguise cloak on her body, revealing the appearance of Su Mu.

"Sumu?!" Everyone almost cried out in disbelief at the same time, "Why is it you?!"

"I'm here to save you." Su Qianqian said, and couldn't help but frowned: "What's wrong with you? You look like you are seriously ill?"

The orc slaves shook their heads in confusion: "We don't know either..."

Su Qianqian simply grabbed Bobcat's wrist, and a trace of wood-type power flowed into his body along his weak pulse.

Almost in the next second, Su Qianqian's expression changed.

She looked at everyone's frail faces and asked in a deep voice, "Have you eaten anything strange during these days of being locked up?"

Several people were stunned when they heard this: "What... strange thing?"

Shanmao was quick to react and immediately understood what Su Qianqian wanted to ask. He quickly said, "They send us a pot of broth every day... After eating it, we inexplicably became like this."

Several slaves also realized what was happening and started to say, "Yes, yes, yes, these city lords have suddenly become so kind that they actually send us slaves meat soup every day..."

"Yeah, yeah, I guess he wants us to have a good meal before we die..."

……

really.

Listening to the slaves' sighs, Su Qianqian became more certain of her suspicions. These city lords hadn't captured these slaves simply to offer them as rain sacrifices...

Su Qianqian glanced at the oblivious slaves in the cave, then pulled Bobcat to a corner and asked quietly, "Bobcat, tell me honestly, does your Wushe clan's retreat and cultivation require a sacrifice...of blood?"
