The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 223: The Man Who Can Stop Space

As she felt the suppressor collar fall from her neck, that woman felt as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

Having their cultivation sealed was a very unpleasant thing for cultivators, as it made them feel immensely weak and vulnerable.

Obviously, she would need to cultivate and repair the damage on her body to regain her former strength, but simply not having that suppression item in her neck made her feel significantly better.

And, while she felt weightlessness in her body, she had an emotional look on her face. Tears were forming in her eyes as she suddenly put one of her hands over her mouth.

"I…I…" She tried to mumble something, but the sobs couldn't let her go on.

For over a year, this woman had lived the reality of slavery, having been raped countless times, before finally becoming an 'object' of pleasure in this establishment.

With each passing day, she didn't know how much longer she could go on living. Life as a captive in this place was more dangerous than it might seem. Some clients didn't just like to have fun raping these women.

No, they also liked to torture them and sometimes even killed them!

This captive who Minos had freed had seen several girls being killed by people like Del, so she had a constant fear of something like this happening to her.

And having spent several months in this place, she felt that the day when she would be unlucky enough to come across someone more extreme was getting closer.

It was difficult for captives like her to live long lives, often dying after a few years of becoming slaves.

That was the fate of women who ended up in places like this, where unscrupulous men went to indulge their dark desires!

But it didn't take long for her to pull herself together and thank Minos from the bottom of her heart. She didn't know these saviors' names or appearances, but this woman would never forget this day and who saved them.

'The man who can stop space saved me!' She kept this thought to her memory, associating Minos' figure with his sword technique...

After that, she didn't take long and soon went towards the other women in that establishment, freeing them.

Many of them wept in joy, already anxious about what they could do after leaving this place. Were their families still alive? Was there a place to return? These and other questions ran through their minds.

Some of them had had their families destroyed, but many did not know about the current condition of their relatives. After all, not all captives entered this condition after the destruction of power, as had happened with the captive Barbara, who had been enslaved by Del and was together with Peter and Joey.

People who ended up in this situation in which these women were, were generally not original members of any powerful family, as it would be a waste to leave them in a place like this.

People who were enslaved but who had talent, such as subordinates and family members, were usually sold in the same way as Peter's group.

For people who end up in the situation of those women who Minos freed, they were usually people with Blue talent, who at best were either member of small families or were part of the outsourced service of large families.

In any case, none of them had any relevance. Because of this, they were usually just taken from their homes, sometimes because of debts, disagreements with outlaws, ambushes, etc.

As long as there was a slave auction, there would be people who would take the freedom of others, either for existing reasons or for a random act, as had happened with Peter.

Spiritual crystals moved the world, and there would always be someone willing to do specific jobs, as long as they were paid for it!

Anyway, after the group of women was freed from the suppression array, they all went towards Minos to thank him.

Seeing that some of them were even starting to kneel in front of him, Minos raised his right hand, motioning for them to stop. "Ladies, there's no need to thank me, I didn't do it for your sake..."

"Anyway, my group will be leaving here in no time, and I recommend that you do the same. Preferably get out of this city as soon as possible. This place is not suitable for people like you."

After that, Minos sighed and then threw three bags of fabric towards those women and said. "In these bags, you can find some spiritual pills and 10,000 low-grade crystals to share with each of you. It's not much, but it will help you get out of here."

Hearing this, they all had sparkles in their eyes as they were grateful for Minos' gesture. He had not only freed them, but he was also helping to ensure their short-term survival.

Finally, they divided the items quickly, when some of them had even left that property as if they were running away for their lives.

However, others had begun to leave that place slowly, as they sometimes looked back, observing those three people who had their appearance hidden but who seemed to lead the group.

They hadn't asked silly questions like their names or from where they came. As much as they wanted to know things like this about their saviors, it was pretty evident that those kinds of questions wouldn't be answered.

After all, they all hid their identities very well!

'Thank you for that! I will never forget this!" Some of them had this idea imprinted on their minds.

...

Finally, since the end of the fight that had taken place on that property, 20 minutes had passed, when shortly after those women left, Minos' group was doing the same.

The time passed was not enough for all the soldiers to rest, but they couldn't waste time in that area. They didn't know if more people could get there at any time, so they wanted to spend a minimum of time in such a place.

However, because there were no seriously injured soldiers and most of them had just depleted their energy reserves, making a primary recovery during that period was not a bad thing.

They couldn't fight after that time, but they were able to travel while recovering slowly.

Anyway, Minos also didn't want to stay any longer in Hadia, as this could hinder this rescue mission. They had already accomplished part of the revenge on Peter's situation, as well as knowing where to look for new clues about this young soldier.

Even if Peter wasn't at the base of the Chambers family in this region, this place was still the best place for the young Stuart's group to search for information.

Thus, Minos and company would leave this city today!

...

Quickly, almost 60 people left that property separately, following in small groups, with less than six individuals each.

There was no reason for the Minos group to walk together through unknown territory, where trouble could arise if they showed too much strength.

Hence, to lessen the chances of any problems arising, fractionally leaving the town was the best thing to do at the moment.

After that, they could meet a few kilometers away from this urban area, following their path together to the Chambers family base in this region.

While driving separately from the south side of Hadia to one of the exits, Minos, Abby, and Eda traveled in a carriage with only two soldiers leading it.

The three of them were inside that means of transport, sitting on opposite sides of two leather seats. Minos was eating a plum while holding a basket with several of these fruits, enjoying the juiciness and sweet flavor of this food.

Seeing this, Abby suddenly asked. "Minos, why don't you take spiritual pills to recover from your previous energy expenditure?"

Unlike advancement pills, pills that were only meant to recover spiritual energy didn't have many impurities, which could hinder cultivation at the higher stages. Of course, it was impossible to eliminate all impurities through alchemy. Still, the standard for spiritual recovery pills was quite acceptable...

"That's simple. Fruits of high spiritual concentration have even fewer impurities than those pills sold in our region."

"But they're much more effective. At least you don't need to use so many of them..." She said with a smile, pointing with one of her fingers to the plum-filled basket that Minos was holding.

Hearing this, the young Stuart smiled. "You're wrong. For people who go at most, at best, to the 7th stage of cultivation, actually using these pills has negligible effects."

That was the reality for the overwhelming majority of cultivators with Black talent. If they were in a wealthy region, with lots of resources, people like this could reach the 7th stage of cultivation without significant problems.

But for the northern region of the Central Continent, due to spiritual poverty and consequently lack of resources, even reaching the level of a Spiritual Emperor would be practically impossible!

"However, after this step, if a person has become accustomed to using spiritual recovery pills whenever he struggled to the limit, then the negative effects will start to show up at this time."
