724: Chapter 482 724: Chapter 482 “Jiang Tang, the boxes on the submarine have our country’s children in them; these people are despicable!” Zhang Nianjiao’s eyes blazed with anger at these human traffickers, finding them disgusting and deserving of death.
“What, those inside are so vile, definitely wolves in sheep’s clothing.
They look so presentable on the outside, but they are actually human traffickers!”
Xuanyuan Mengting was burning with rage, her angry expression undisguised.
“Beat them, we must beat them to death!” Dugu Yan’er, a woman usually devoid of sympathy, was also angry at this moment.
“Right, beat them to death!” Tang Yanran, usually unsympathetic herself and a master of poisons, also joined in the anger.
Despite her usual demeanor, she still had a woman’s tenderness towards children.
Following this were the voices of other beauties, chattering away, resolute that even if Jiang Tang did not take action, they would capture all of them.
Jiang Tang, being more powerful than the rest, had of course perceived this too.
He fully understood the women’s anger and wholeheartedly provided them with both moral and practical support!
“You don’t need to tell me.
First, let’s rescue the children, then settle the score with these people!”
Jiang Tang possessed his own abilities: his suction, his capability to store items in space.
All these enabled him to rescue the people without anyone noticing.
He wanted both to rescue the people and ensure the enemy remained unaware of what was happening.
Jiang Tang quickly thought of a method that was both speedy and wouldn’t alert them.
Once the submarine was docked safely at the shore, where none of the guards paid attention to the boxes, he had a plan.
Jiang Tang initially thought to collect the children along with the boxes into his space, then place them on the Flying Artifact.
But then he considered an alternative: place the Flying Artifact beside the submarine and use his Divine Sense to open all the boxes, envelop the children in rings of light, and transfer them all onto the Flying Artifact.
He then sealed all the boxes again, making it look as if the children were never missing.
Whether the traffickers would open the boxes again or transport them into the city didn’t concern him at that moment.
Thinking that if the traffickers didn’t notice, he also wanted to find out where the children were being taken to eliminate the entire trafficking organization.
Perhaps by following these crooks, he could rescue even more children.
The children inside the rings of light couldn’t see outside and didn’t realize they had been rescued, believing instead that the boxes were being moved as they floated in darkness and motion within the light.
Their faces showed terror and helplessness, visible to all the beauties, while the people outside the circles could see the children inside.
Seeing the horrified expressions on the children’s faces, the girls all felt a sudden rush of maternal affection and asked Jiang Tang to open the circles, release the children to freedom, and prepare food for them.
Having set everything right, Jiang Tang then closed the door of the Flying Artifact.
He flew the Flying Artifact slightly away from the city, observing the submarine from a distance.
Jiang Tang opened each circle of light, and the children were suddenly freed.
Dugu Yan’er counted the children; there were both boys and girls, ages ranging from five to eight.
Tang Yanran also observed the children and counted: there were actually thirty of them.
Su Feifei realized that each child possessed a Spiritual Root, although they varied in quality, some good and some not as fortunate.
“Have you noticed?
These children all have the potential to Cultivate!”
Su Feifei remarked, and the other beauties observed as well.
They noticed that the children’s clothes varied from luxurious to common coarse fabrics.
Whether from wealth or poverty, finding even a few thousand children capable of Cultivation in ten thousand is already fortunate.
The idea that these evil people could kidnap thirty children capable of Cultivation was baffling.
Why would they want to sell children who could Cultivate?
Families with children able to Cultivate would normally send them to Sects to learn.
Jiang Tang found this quite strange too—could these traffickers Cultivate themselves, impersonating a Sect, abducting the children they gathered, then selling them off?
With this suspicion in mind, he began to follow the people who had just entered the city.
This person just might be the leader of the entire human trafficking network.
This so-called leader was neither a bearded brute nor overtly evil-looking, but rather a beautiful woman with a demonic allure.
The several who accompanied her, dressed like men but veiled, betrayed flirtatious movements characteristic of women as they walked.
Why would they disguise themselves like this?
Jiang Tang continued tracking them with his Divine Sense as they entered the city and arrived at a luxuriously palatial residence.
Guardians stood at the grand entrance to the palace, who hailed the women as General Maria and her protectors upon seeing them.
Jiang Tang found it increasingly interesting—the woman was a general, so could there be a king inside?
With this new theory, he grew curious about the individuals within the palace.
General Maria, accompanied by her guard, stepped into the interior of the palace and saluted a woman sitting on a golden chair and veiled.
“Your Majesty, the Queen, the boys and girls have been brought!”
“General Maria, you have worked hard!”
“It is no trouble, this time impersonating the most powerful new Sect in the Martial World, the Saint Sect, we brought back thirty boys and girls.”
“General Maria, your idea is splendid.
To be able to impersonate different Sects each time, providing this king with Cultivation materials, have your men bring those boys and girls here!”
