Chapter 659: Bounties 2
"His soul cup is still intact?" Jiang Yue asked, and Wei Ling nodded.
"He is not dead." She said.
Since they couldn’t do anything about Fang Feng, Jiang Yue and the others checked the one-star bounty posters before shifting their focus to the two-star bounty posters.
"It’s hard to imagine that someone with such a face is a two-star traitor." Jiang Yue said, looking at a bounty poster of a female cultivator.
The female cultivator wasn’t a typical beauty.
Instead, she had a cute face that still had some baby fat, innocent eyes, and deep dimples on both sides of her cheeks.
"Xiao Mei." Wei Ling muttered through gritted teeth.
"Do you know her well?" Jiang Yue asked after seeing Wei Ling’s reaction.
"Seniors, you don’t know...., Xiao Mei was the saintess of our foreign devils’ battlefield up until sixty years ago." An elder said, and Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow.
"Saintess?" He asked.
"Xiao Mei is a commoner cultivator." The elder started and quickly continued.
"She is extremely talented, but didn’t join any sect or family. Instead, she came to our foreign devils’ battlefield and contributed to the war effort. She often took care of the injured, donated goods, cooked, fought, and helped wherever she was needed."
"Unfortunately, her saintly personality was a camouflage to hide her disgusting behaviour."
"What’s her crime?" Yang Xu asked.
"She sold human cultivators to the foreign devils." Wei Ling said, unconsciously leaking a heavy killing intent.
"Niece Wei, do you have a personal grudge against Xiao Mei?" Jiang Yue asked, and Wei Ling sighed, forcibly suppressing her anger.
"My Wei family produced an extremely talented and beautiful junior six hundred years ago." Wei Ling started and quickly continued.
"The little girl often followed me to the battlefield, fighting and learning. As a result, many powerful foreign devils saw her and coveted her beauty. However, the little girl was well protected and didn’t give the devils a chance to capture her."
"Unfortunately, we didn’t count on Xiao Mei."
"Xiao Mei captured the girl and sold her to the foreign devils?" Jiang Yue asked, and Wei Ling nodded.
"The foreign devils are lustful and treat human cultivators as playthings. After having enough of the playthings, they enslave or eat them. My clan’s junior was unlucky and was traded from devil to devil until she died a while back."
The room fell silent after listening to Wei Ling’s retelling.
After all, the little girl’s fate was worse than death, and everyone could imagine how much she had suffered.
"We tried to rescue her many times but..." An elder said and shook his head.
"Xiao Mei is a demon." Another elder said, recalling how Xiao Mei’s hypocritical face.
Back then, Xiao Mei comforted the Wei family and even participated in many rescue attempts.
However, no matter how well the Wei family planned the rescues, they always failed, and it wasn’t until much later that everyone realised that Xiao Mei was a traitor.
"Xiao Mei had already sold more than one thousand male and female cultivators by the time we discovered some clues." An elder said.
"Is she also missing?" Yu Nianzhen asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"She isn’t missing." Wei Ling said, and the anger she had previously suppressed roared out.
"Not missing?" Jiang Yue asked, his eyebrow raised in question.
"She escaped to the devils’ territory after she was discovered." An elder said and quickly continued.
"Unfortunately, her location is too deep into the devils’ territory, and we can’t reach her." He said with a helpless expression.
Hearing of territories, Yang Xu tilted his head and looked at Wei Ling.
"How many territories does our human race control?" He asked.
The foreign devils’ battlefield was divided into ten territories.
Back when Yang Xu was active in the foreign devils’ battlefield, the human race controlled eight out of ten territories, and he was hoping for a similar answer.
Unfortunately, he was bound to be disappointed!
"We control three territories." Wei Ling said, and Yang Xu couldn’t help but be surprised.
"Only three?" He asked.
"We lost all but one territory when nascent soul realm cultivators suddenly went to the Reincarnation World nine thousand years ago." Wei Ling began explaining.
"It’s taken several thousand years to recapture two more territories, but this is our limit. We don’t have enough manpower to capture and control a fourth territory." She said.
"Wei Ge and the others will soon return from the Reincarnation World. We can recapture more territories when they return." Jiang Yue said, and everyone agreed.
"Seniors, ..." Wei Ling called and pointed at a poster.
"Wu Tingting..." Yu Nianzhen read the name, and Wei Ling stared at the poster with a complicated expression before speaking.
"She is arguably the worst traitor in one hundred thousand years." She said.
"What did she do?" Xiaolan asked.
"We still don’t know how she did it, but Wu Tingting gave birth to a devil-human child, five thousand years ago."
"This..., this...., how is this possible?" Yang Xu asked with a confused expression.
"Human cultivators and foreign devils can’t procreate, but Wu Tingting somehow managed it." An elder said.
"Where is the child?" Yu Nianzhen asked, concealing the unease in his heart.
"Unlike most traitors, Wu Tingting revealed herself." An elder said.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Wu Tingting wasn’t captured and forced to serve the foreign devils. Instead, she chose a high-ranking devil and willingly became his concubine."
"Later, she gave birth to a mixed child, and her status rose to an unprecedented level. She is now the deputy leader of the fifth territory."
Jiang Yue, Yu Nianzhen, Yang Xu, Xiaolan, and Ao Tian were shocked to hear this.
After all, foreign devils and humans were natural enemies.
How could anyone volunteer to serve them and even birth a child for them?
"This Wu Tingting isn’t simple." Yang Xu observed, and Wei Ling nodded.
"She seems to have a plan, but we don’t know what it is. Anyway, her fifth territory has become one of the strongest territories in the foreign devils’ battlefield." She said.
"Do we know her background?" Yu Nianzhen asked, but Wei Ling shook her head.
