"Mr. Chen, this is the Soul Devouring Stone."

Suddenly, Liu, the shopkeeper, remembered something and took out a palm-sized black stone from his pocket. On it, one could clearly feel the distinct soul imprint.

Chen Daoxuan had heard of it before.

The Soul Devouring Stone is an extremely magical stone that naturally occurs between heaven and earth. The soul of a cultivator can be imprinted on it, and the owner can control the person whose imprint is left on it. If the person dares to resist, all that needs to be done is to erase the soul imprint, and that person's soul will disappear and perish.

This is also the reason why Liu, an ordinary person, dares to control so many newcomers.

These are also the means of a slave owner.

Chen Daoxuan smiled and said nothing. He waved his hand lightly, and a gust of wind blew open all the locks on the cages!

Feeling the formidable power displayed by Chen Daoxuan, Liu, the shopkeeper, was suddenly shocked!

The strength of this immortal is much stronger than he had imagined!

Even these slaves locked in cages were somewhat surprised.

The glimpse of Chen Daoxuan's power just now made them feel fearful and apprehensive.

"Follow me, unless you want to stay here as slaves."

Chen Daoxuan smiled and led the way without any precautions. The thirty-plus people looked at each other and finally followed behind Chen Daoxuan.

Before long, they returned to the courtyard.

"Master, you're back. Oh? So many cultivators?" Tang Youran had just woken up and saw Chen Daoxuan bringing a group of slaves back. At first, she didn't think much of it, but suddenly sensing that these people were all cultivators, Tang Youran was slightly surprised.

"That's right."

Chen Daoxuan sat on a stone stool and lightly tapped his fingers. Thirty-plus strands of True Qi surged out, unlocking all the handcuffs and ankle chains that bound the slaves.

"I am Chen Daoxuan, your master. From now on, you are no longer slaves. If you want to leave, I won't stop you."

"As for this thing..."

Chen Daoxuan took out the black Soul Devouring Stone and lightly flicked it with his palm. Thirty-plus soul lights returned to their bodies. "I disdain using such things to control others."

The thirty-plus people in front of him were instantly stunned.

They all knew that the fate of most slaves was extremely tragic, but they didn't expect to encounter such a master today who released their soul imprints right away, allowing them to regain their freedom.

"Of course, you have another choice, which is to stay."

"I am Chen Daoxuan, the head of the Chen family in Zhou Kingdom, and this person beside me is the Empress of Zhou Kingdom, Tang Youran!"

"If you are willing to stay here, I can teach you cultivation and provide you with cultivation resources. As long as you work for the Chen family, not only can you regain your freedom, but you can also marry and have children like ordinary people."

Chen Daoxuan said calmly.

The thirty-plus people were stunned once again.

They speculated that Chen Daoxuan and the woman in front of them were definitely extraordinary, but they didn't expect them to be so noble!

They had already heard of Chen Daoxuan's reputation. He had cultivated diligently on the mountain for eighty years, but had always been at the Body Refining Rank Nine. However, after coming down from the mountain, he married so many wives and concubines, and his strength soared, reaching the Gold Core stage!

Moreover, it was rumored that he had already reached the high-level Gold Core stage and was even unmatched by Nascent Soul experts!

As for the Empress Tang Youran, they naturally knew about her as well. As a woman, she defeated many competitors and ascended to the throne. She was also a legend!

Of course, they had some doubts in their hearts, but the noble aura emanating from Chen Daoxuan and Tang Youran dispelled their doubts instantly!

Even if they weren't extraordinary, they were definitely not ordinary!

"I choose to stay."

"Since Master Chen values us so much, leaving would be unwise."

"Besides, if we leave, we have nowhere to go and will continue to be captured and treated as slaves."

"We are willing to follow Master Chen in cultivation!"

The group of people immediately expressed their stance.

"Very well."

Chen Daoxuan nodded, "However, this courtyard is so huge that no one has cleaned it yet. I apologize for inconveniencing you all. Among you, who is in charge?"

"I am."

An old man with slightly graying hair stepped forward. He was also the strongest among them.

"I will leave the allocation of these people to you."

"You can take these cultivation resources for now. Work during the day and cultivate at night."

Chen Daoxuan casually threw a cloth bag, which contained many spiritual herbs.

"Thank you, Master."

The old man showed great respect.

"By the way, the four of you stay."

Chen Daoxuan pointed to four female cultivators, all young and with good looks, especially the twins. "From today onwards, the four of you will be the personal maids of You Ran."

"Yes."

The four female cultivators naturally had no objections.

Soon, the old man gave orders.

The courtyard, gardeners, and kitchen were all prepared. The old man even asked for Chen Daoxuan's opinion and bought four slaves specifically for dirty and tiring work.

After freshening up, the four female cultivators revealed their original appearances.

All four of them were young.

The youngest was only sixteen years old, and the oldest was only twenty-one!

Their faces were delicate, their eyes filled with tenderness as they looked at Chen Daoxuan.

Tang Youran saw this and smiled inwardly.

It seemed that she would have a few more sisters.

At night, under Tang Youran's arrangement, the twins entered Chen Daoxuan's bedroom.

Naturally, Chen Daoxuan did not refuse.

They worked together throughout the night.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Chen Daoxuan finally fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, a loud explosion suddenly came from the courtyard. Chen Daoxuan abruptly opened his eyes, unsurprised. "Finally, they've come."

"Chen Master."

The older twin was a bit scared. "What's happening?"

"You two rest well. It's just a few small fries."

Chen Daoxuan's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

In the backyard at this moment, two guards lay injured on the ground. They were tall and burly, only at the Body Refining Rank Eight. Although they were injured, they were not in mortal danger due to their high physical strength.

"You guys are the ones who followed me during the day, right?"

Chen Daoxuan appeared and coldly smiled at the four black-clad men in front of him.

"That's right, it's us."

"I advise you to obediently hand over your wealth. You can save a life, otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

The leader of the black-clad men took a step forward, exuding the aura of a Foundation Building Rank Eight.

"Foundation Building Rank Eight? Quite intimidating."

Chen Daoxuan also took a step forward. In an instant, an overwhelming Gold Core aura surged like a raging sea, causing tidal waves to sweep through the entire courtyard!

The four black-clad men were directly overwhelmed by the immense pressure and knelt on the ground.

"How can a Gold Core expert possess a pressure comparable to a Nascent Soul Rank Eight?"
