"Elder Luo is dead?"
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Yao's eyes. "How did he die? Who killed him?"
Perhaps spending time around Kasolo had rubbed off some of his aura of slaughter and destruction, or perhaps he had been partially assimilated while resisting Bizhang's will. Either way, the killing intent Jiang Yao inadvertently revealed now made the other diners in the restaurant glance over.
If they hadn't been in the Virtual Universe, the diners might have bolted for the exits.
Prose and Kuman were both startled. This was the first time Jiang Yao had ever shown such terrifying killing intent in front of them, and it immediately reminded them of the powerful Bloodline Divine Ability he had activated back on Yanhe Planet.
Prose sighed. "Because our Yanhe Branch is within the territory of one of the Kasolo Empire's vassal states, the Longshan Federation doesn't dare invade the planets inhabited by our people, thanks to His Majesty Kasolo's decree.
"But you know how vast the universe is. The Yanhe Star System may be our territory, but we can't possibly defend it all. So suddenly, a large number of Star Pirates appeared, ambushing our ships everywhere and abducting our people to sell as slaves."
Jiang Yao nodded gravely. The Longshan Federation and the other Sacred Lands certainly wouldn't slaughter the Lingtong Race on a large scale. After all, there were rules within the Human Race, and mass killings were forbidden.
But abducting members of the Lingtong Race, implanting chips in them, and turning them into slaves for sale was allowed by the rules. In fact, it was extremely common throughout the universe. The production and trade of slaves were major parts of the universal economy.
The Zhuchong Race, one of the Six Great Sacred Lands, had originally been a slave race.
