"You just look like someone I know. Your intelligence and emotional quotient can't compare to hers!"
Disappointment was written all over Zhang Chen's face.
"This..."
Seeing Zhang Chen's expression, Xiuyan's heart suddenly twitched for no reason. Then, her head pounded, forcing her to lean against the wall and gasp for air.
"What's... happening? Could it be... the old problem is acting up again? Damn it, why now!"
At this moment, Miaoyin walked over, frowning.
"Master, these slaves refuse to come out of their cages. I told them the barrier has been removed, but they just don't believe me!"
"Hmm?"
Zhang Chen only then noticed.
The cages were indeed destroyed, the energy shields were gone, and even the guards had vanished.
But these girls were still huddled in their cages, no one daring to move.
"Come out, you're safe. With me here, no one can harm you!"
Zhang Chen smiled and extended his hand towards a rabbit-eared girl with big eyes who was near the cage.
"Really...?"
The rabbit-eared girl hesitated and reached out to take Zhang Chen's hand, but was stopped by an elf beside her.
"Don't go. Those guys are very strong. If we're caught again, we'd be better off dead!"
The elf said tremblingly.
Mentioning "those guys" made the rabbit-eared girl tremble as well. She quickly withdrew her hand.
"Those guys? Heh!"
"Miaoke, Miaoqi, Miaoyin, release all the slaves in the city. If anyone resists, kill them without mercy!"
As Zhang Chen spoke, he gave each of the three little cats an energy crystal.
"Yes, Master!"
The three little cats responded and instantly vanished.
"You... that's a high-level beast crystal? You actually have something like that? And you just gave it away so casually!?"
Xiuyan was full of disbelief.
"I have plenty of such things. Once I fully recover my strength, destroying a country will be as easy as flipping my hand."
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"As expected of you, True God. I believe in your strength. I am willing to believe in you devoutly. Can you also grant me supreme power?"
Marana asked, her eyes shining brightly.
Her desire for power was almost fanatical.
Initially, she was convinced by Zhang Chen's strength. Now, seeing Zhang Chen greatly enhance the strength of the three little cats, she couldn't help but feel envious.
"We'll see based on your performance!"
Zhang Chen said lightly.
"Okay, please give me your orders, Master. I will complete your tasks to show my loyalty!"
Marana said excitedly.
"Traitor!"
Xiuyan said with a cold face, spitting the word out.
"You are very familiar with this place. Help the three little cats complete the mission of rescuing all the slaves!"
"Yes, True God!"
Marana said and then vanished from her spot.
"Damn it, I won't let you succeed. Traitor of the Black-tailed Swallow Legion, I'll deal with you!"
Xiuyan also vanished instantly.
Two small black dots could be seen on a distant rooftop, flying away one after another...
As soon as they left, a group of burly men wearing iron masks rushed over.
The leader was a young man in luxurious attire, riding a giant rhinoceros beetle – this was once a mount exclusive to the True God Cult, but now it had become a mount for nobles.
"You're the one who wants to snatch my slaves?"
"Heh, you don't have enough slaves of your own, and you want to take mine? Do you know who I am?"
The nobleman asked Zhang Chen condescendingly, looking at him with his chin raised.
"They are your slaves? Meaning, if I kill you, they will be completely free?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"Kill me? Hahaha, you probably don't know who I am!"
"I'll tell you... *hiccup*..."
The nobleman watched in disbelief as his body gradually turned into mist, not even knowing what Zhang Chen had done.
"I'm not interested in who you are. Is there anyone else who wants to die?"
Zhang Chen looked coldly at the masked men.
"Retreat... quickly retreat..."
The leader of the masked men shouted, and the surrounding people, frightened, fled.
"You watch these slaves, I'm going to raid their nest!"
Zhang Chen patted Jessie's shoulder, then his figure flickered, silently appearing on the rooftop of a tall building, looking down at the masked men's escape route, and then followed them into a large courtyard.
