Xia was shocked and asked, "Yuqing is injured too? Where are Xuan and Lian? How badly are they both injured?"
As long as the two of them could still move, no one would be able to hurt Meng Yuqing.
"Yeah." Yang said, "Xuanhe Lian...wasn't seriously injured as much as Yuqing. They said that it was Yuqing who protected them in the end, and they were able to successfully return to the southern territory."
Thinking of Meng Yuqing's strange abilities, Xia nodded and continued, "Where are they? Are they resting in the city?"
"They've gone back to the barrier." Yang looked at Xia. "They said that thing chased them outside the barrier. After they came back to report their safety, they realized you weren't back yet. They were worried that the thing was going to find you, so they went back to the barrier to fish for it. I just sent someone to notify them."
Yang has no respect for "God", which can be seen from the way he addresses him.
Even Meng Yuqing and the others only called the octopus monster "God", although this title was not respectful at all.
He patted Xia's shoulder to calm her down. "They won't go outside the barrier. They'll just watch that thing from afar inside, and if necessary, draw its attention to prevent it from leaving too quickly to look for you."
After hearing Yang's words, Xia calmed down a little. After standing for a while, he said, "Then let's settle everything here first."
Xia had people notify the other tribes in Qingshan City not to approach the wooden shed for the time being. They had to wait until everything was done there and people entered Qingshan City and then fumigate it with mugwort before they could approach.
When Xia brought them back, he did not avoid the tribes living in the hunting area of Qingshan City. To be precise, since entering the south, he did not think of avoiding the tribes in the south when he led this group of people straight to Qingshan City.
But after all, they came back from heaven, and only a few people actually saw their tribe.
But it is enough to see these tribes near Qingshan City.
But just seeing it wasn't enough. After Yang and Xia discussed it, they even called the chiefs of the surrounding tribes to Qingshan City for a meeting...
The tribal leaders who were holding a meeting in the conference hall of Qingshan City for the first time were quite surprised and a little nervous.
Qingshan City had never done this before, and they also heard that this time it was the mayor of Qingshan City and his younger brother who came to talk to them in person.
After Xia and Yang walked into the conference room side by side, they got straight to the point. "The people we brought back this time, even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, they must have heard about it."
The tribal leaders all nodded, and then began to talk at once.
"I saw it. Where did they come from? Why are they so miserable?"
"I didn't see it directly, but someone from my tribe told me."
"When I heard the news and wanted to check, the city lord had already stopped us from getting close, saying they had to clean themselves up first before letting us in."
After giving everyone five minutes to discuss, Xia continued, "They are the people we rescued from the north. The northern tribes call them slaves. You should be familiar with the word slave. Since the opening of our Qingshan City market, caravans selling slaves have been strictly prohibited from entering the market."
At this point, the clan leaders below were furious.
"Slaves? I've seen slaves in the markets of the three major tribes before, and I felt uncomfortable at the time. If people can be sold, then can we also become commodities?"
"I've seen that too. Most of them had their left legs broken. Only a very small number of orcs were healthy. The slaves I saw back then were thin, but not as miserable as they are now!"
"Even a small tribe of orcs with only a few dozen people wouldn't be this thin! At first glance, all you see is a big head."
"I remember seeing a tribe exchange a healthy orc from the market before, but that tribe didn't treat him like this. I heard that the exchanged orc is living well in that tribe now and has become a member of their tribe. I even saw that orc at the Qingshan market this time!"
Xia knocked lightly on the table, and the noises below gradually stopped. Everyone looked at Xia, and Xia continued, "In the Northern Continent, slaves are like this. We only rescued these this time. You should know from seeing them that they can easily die."
"But it's not easy for us to get cubs. If this goes on, none of us can guarantee that one day the northern tribe will think there is no one left to capture and come and capture us."
As soon as Xia finished speaking, an extremely strong orc chief raised his hand. Xia glanced at him and said, "Chief of the Black Bear Tribe, do you have anything to say?"
The Black Bear Tribe leader stood up and said, "My tribe and I definitely don't want to be captured by them. We don't want to be controlled by them, nor do we want to capture and abuse others. We can live well on our own. Our tribe only obeys the management of Qingshan City. We will definitely stand with Qingshan City to prevent them from coming to our southern tribe to capture people."
The Black Bear Chieftain was a bit wise but appeared foolish, and his partner was also a very smart sub-beast. After being in Qingshan City for so long, he must have found out the reasons why the three major tribes broke up.
Because some people were close to the north, and the Black Tree Tribe did not want to be too close to the north, so they had disagreements and dispersed.
Then Qingshan City and Huangshi Tribe both helped the Black Tree Tribe. At first, he didn't understand why the Black Tree Tribe, Qingshan City and Huangshi Tribe were so reluctant to contact the north, until later a group of dog orcs and sub-beasts came from the northwest to Qingshan City.
Considering that the atmosphere in the markets of the three major tribes had been getting worse and worse in the last ten years, fewer and fewer weak tribes dared to go there. But now, the market in Qingshan City has allowed many weak tribes to show up openly and take out valuable things from their tribes for trade.
He began to understand why the people of Qingshan City, the Black Tree Tribe, the Yellow Stone Tribe and even the Blue Water Tribe were unwilling to have contact with the northern tribes.
He even had a vague feeling that Qingshan City, the Black Tree Tribe, and the Yellow Stone Tribe were protecting all the tribes in the south.
And now, Xia brought back so many slaves rescued from the northern tribes and said these words to them, he was even more certain that they were protecting all the southern tribes.
Because the powerful tribes in the north don’t treat the people in the weaker tribes as human beings at all!
Hearing the Black Bear Tribe leader's statement, Xia nodded with relief, but added, "Of course, if you're strong enough, you won't be captured. You can even become the one who enslaves others."
