In a starfield close to the desolate continent, there was a massive star.
Upon the star, an incredibly magnificent city was established.
This could be considered a very popular treasure hunter's city within the Xuan Yang World.
Many treasures were exchanged and circulated within this city.
And because there were powerful Cultivators garrisoned, there was no need to worry about safety issues.
Many treasures and ancient artifacts of the Xuan Yang World were exchanged in this city.
And within it, anything could be sold.
Including living beings.
At this moment, within a fence as filthy as a pigsty.
There were thousands of people here, dressed in rags, reeking, and kept like pigs and dogs.
Even passing Cultivators frowned, their eyes filled with disdain, cursing them as mongrels.
That's right.
These thousands of people looked like Humans.
But in reality, they were not.
They were a type of Ba Clan creature, born from the union of Ba Clan and Human Race.
They were called Human-Ba hybrid.
But neither the Human Race nor the Ba Clan held anything but contempt for these Human-Ba hybrid.
They considered them mongrels, mixed-bloods, lowly pigs and dogs.
These Human-Ba hybrid did not inherit the talents of either race.
Instead, they neutralized the disadvantages of both races, becoming an inferior existence.
And these mongrels had no meaning in living in this world at all.
Even being sold as slaves was the best outcome for these Human-Ba hybrid.
Among this group of Human-Ba hybrid.
A slender, petite figure was curled up alone in a corner.
It was a young girl, her entire body wrapped in a tattered gray robe and hood.
One could vaguely see a small face under the hood, covered in grime and mud.
There were also shocking scars, crisscrossing her face.
It was hard to imagine that this was the face of a young girl.
Perhaps the only thing that could draw a little attention.
Was that this young girl had pale golden pupils.
The color was very faint; if one didn't look closely, one might not even notice it.
And her eyelashes were also very long.
Pale golden pupils and curled eyelashes made the young girl's eyes very beautiful and delicate, like a work of art.
Perhaps this was the only highlight on her.
At this moment, the young girl was curled up like an insect.
She didn't know if she would live to see tomorrow.
For a Human-Ba hybrid, even living was a luxury.
"Perhaps, I shouldn't be alive in this world?" the young girl whispered to herself.
Her voice was sweet but carried weakness and a hint of despair.
From the moment she gained consciousness, she had been alone.
Wherever she walked, flowers and plants would wither, and all things would perish; that was one of the characteristics of the Ba Clan.
In everyone's eyes, she was a dirty, lowly Human-Ba hybrid, a mongrel, a pig, and a dog.
To prevent others from bullying her, she personally scratched her face, turning herself into an ugly monster.
What young girl doesn't love beauty?
But she was merciless.
Did it hurt?
But there was no other way.
Because only then could she retain a bit of her dignity and maintain her purity.
Although in the eyes of others, the Bloodline of a Human-Ba hybrid was inherently dirty and lowly.
For the young girl, she didn't hope to live long.
She only wished to understand the meaning of her existence in this world.
There were many things she still didn't understand.
For example, she often had dreams.
In her dreams, there was a weeping woman, her figure blurred, making it impossible to see clearly.
Who was she?
Why was she crying?
And why did she dream of her?
The young girl didn't know.
She just felt as if her heart was also aching at the same time.
And at this moment, a figure descended into the Void Realm.
Looking down upon these Human-Ba hybrid, who were as lowly as pigs and dogs.
This person was naturally He Zixuan.
He swept his gaze over these Human-Ba hybrid, frowned, lightly covered his nose, and his eyes held a deep sense of disgust.
The Ba Clan was the mortal enemy of Jixia Academy.
And these Human-Ba hybrid were even more like mongrels.
A True Disciple Saint like He Zixuan naturally felt a deep-seated aversion and revulsion.
In his opinion, if these Human-Ba hybrid mongrels were sensible, they should commit suicide; at least they would have some courage.
"My Lord, these Human-Ba hybrid are all here."
Beside him, a Cultivator bowed obsequiously.
To him, a True Disciple Saint of Jixia Academy was already an immensely important figure.
"I'll take all of these."
He Zixuan waved his hand, threw a few divine sources to the Cultivator, and then directly took these Human-Ba hybrid away.
The young girl was naturally included.
"Being useful to me is your greatest value, you mongrels," He Zixuan thought coldly.
Although Confucianism emphasized benevolence and righteousness.
In He Zixuan's view, these Human-Ba hybrid were not even considered Humans; they were like pigs and dogs.
Since they were pigs and dogs, there was naturally no need to be merciful to them.
Soon, He Zixuan brought this group of Human-Ba hybrid back to that desolate continent.
Chu Xiao had been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing He Zixuan arrive with a group of people, Chu Xiao was initially puzzled.
But after sensing the Qi of those people, his brows also slightly furrowed.
"Ba Clan?"
He Zixuan smiled faintly and shook his head: "These are not Ba Clan, just mongrels with Ba Clan Bloodline."
"Could Brother He's plan be..." Chu Xiao instantly understood.
He Zixuan smiled slightly, turned his head, and said indifferently: "You are to go deep into that region, no retreating, otherwise, don't blame this Young Master for being merciless..."
Towards these Human-Ba hybrid, He Zixuan would not show an ounce of pity.
Chu Xiao hesitated to speak, but didn't say much.
The Son of Destiny, generally speaking, was relatively upright and righteous.
However, when their own interests were touched, they would also adjust their kindness.
Those Human-Ba hybrid naturally dared not defy He Zixuan's will.
They could feel that He Zixuan could crush them with a single finger.
Soon, these Human-Ba hybrid also began to go deeper.
And Chu Xiao suddenly frowned, as if he had a strange feeling.
He turned his head and saw her among that group of Human-Ba hybrid.
There was a small, slender figure.
For some reason, Chu Xiao's gaze inexplicably lingered on her.
As if it were some subconscious action.
"Hmm?"
Chu Xiao frowned.
And as if sensing something.
The small, slender figure also slightly raised her head, revealing the small face beneath her hood.
Immediately, a face covered in dirt and scars entered Chu Xiao's eyes.
And what surprised him was.
It was actually a young girl.
And although her appearance was disfigured, she had a pair of angelic, delicate, and beautiful pale golden pupils.
There was even a hint of nobility within them.
At the same time, Chu Xiao felt his Bloodline also had a slight reaction.
Of course, this reaction was too faint; Chu Xiao himself even doubted if it was an illusion.
And very quickly, the young girl lowered her head and continued walking forward.
Looking at the young girl's slender back, Chu Xiao suddenly had a question in his heart.
Do the Ba Clan have pale golden eyes?
"Brother Chu, what's wrong? You wouldn't care about the lives of these mongrels, would you?" He Zixuan said with a faint smile.
"Ah... this, of course not." Chu Xiao was startled and said.
"Don't worry, we'll be able to go deeper very soon." He Zixuan smiled, and there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
And Chu Xiao, on the other hand, lightly shook his head and said: "Never mind, the Opportunity here is the most important."
Chu Xiao no longer distracted himself, focusing wholeheartedly on the Opportunity here.
And Chu Xiao had no idea what he had missed due to this single thought.
