Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1668: Chapter 1668: The True Black Market

Shu Yu and his companion discreetly assessed their surroundings. Although it was called a secret chamber, it was actually a large underground palace.

The opulence and grandeur of the renovations aside, its depth was beyond imagination; looking ahead, they couldn’t even see where it ended.

Regarding the arrival of the three of them, the other people merely glanced over before going back to their own business.

A group of people were drinking, gambling, and playing hand games nearby, with several young and beautiful women attending to them, making the place very lively.

The mountain bandit spoke softly, “This area is the outskirts, a place for people like us to relax and have fun. Further inside is where the visitors to the black market usually entertain themselves. But now the black market is closed for business and no customers are coming by. So that area has been given to the new brothers who gathered here some time ago to rest. In the past few days, those people have gone with the leader to the neighboring county to stir up trouble, so it’s empty again.”

So there weren’t many people around.

“As for Jiang Kuanyu you mentioned, he’s the steward and lives further in.”

Meng Yunzheng nodded, “Take us over to see.”

The mountain bandit opened his mouth. He thought bringing them here would be enough, but it seemed these two weren’t going to stop until they squeezed everything out of him.

He snorted coldly to himself, thinking that once he got the antidote, he would definitely lead his brothers to kill this couple.

No, he thought, the man should be tortured to death, and the woman, with some good looks, could be kept here in the black market for the customers’ enjoyment.

With these plans in mind, the bandit received a kick to his leg, “Still not leading the way?”

“Got it.”

The three of them passed through the outskirts, where the mountain bandits staying behind were not many.

Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu’s luck was good, as they arrived just when a large group of bandits went to the neighboring county.

They soon reached the center of the black market, which was where guests were entertained, much larger and deeper than the outskirts they were just in.

And apparently, the venues varied, including a casino, a brothel, trading places, and even… a dueling field.

Shu Yu even heard the roars of wild beasts, and the bandit spoke about it with a touch of pride, “We have tigers, wolves, bears, and pythons here. When the dueling field opens, they’ll bring two people on stage to confront them. The winner can earn a sum of money, while the loser can only leave their life behind and will be eaten clean by the beasts. The most exciting thing is the women facing those beasts. Watching them shiver and be torn apart on stage is when those officials and nobles would desperately throw their money…”

“Enough.” Shu Yu frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

The mountain bandit sneered with disdain, women are indeed timid. After all, the black market’s dueling field was the most popular and lively venue here.

Meng Yunzheng’s face darkened, “Lead the way.”

The bandit had no choice but to continue walking forward, but soon Shu Yu suddenly heard wailing and screaming from the left.

“What’s over there?”

The bandit looked in the direction she pointed, his eyes somewhat shifty, “Aren’t you in a hurry to rescue someone? Why bother with those things?”

“I asked, so answer.”

The bandit lazily replied, “Over there are people being held. The wealthy youths previously abducted from Chenggu County, along with some traitors and disobedient girls.”

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance. So many people locked up?

“Let’s go, take a look over there.” Meng Yunzheng signaled to the bandit.

The latter frowned, “You’d better not meddle, quickly rescue the people and leave, or else…”
