Chapter 260: The Massacre Begins

Blitzing around the region, Lex found that it was extremely large and even with his speed would take him a while to get around. While doing so, he sought out any cultivator related to the Blood Sword Group and struck them down without remorse.

Their numbers were in the thousands, while it became clear to Lex that they had complete control over the region, while he was also impressed by the size and prosperity of the region.

It wasn't because of the Blood Sword Group, as the region would be much better off without them doing as they pleased and forcing the citizens to pay taxes to them, but because of the density of energy.

The closer they got to the centre of the Lower Plains, the denser the energy became, while the more resources and opportunities could be found. The land was very fertile and could also rapidly grow plants, while the people were naturally strong and healthy, so lived extended lifetimes.

As long as they obeyed the Blood Sword Group, they wouldn't suffer much and although poverty and suffering were experienced everywhere, the towns in the region seemed to be flourishing.

However, the same couldn't be said for the rest of the region and those that weren't as fortunate.

One thing that Lex detested that he found in the region and was likely to find across the continent, was slavery. Slave marks were similar to the marks that he placed on the bandits to make them obedient to the bandits, but were placed on the slaves without their free will.

Slave marks were permanent and would be placed onto young slaves, then they could be sold and used as they pleased, passing on control of the slave mark to the next.

The only way to get rid of one's slave mark was to kill their master and the one that initially placed the slave mark on them, while the mark would also still be visible.

Anyone with the mark was immediately mocked, seen as inferior and not accepted into the towns, schools, cultivation sects or anywhere else. Their life would be ruined.

Slavery had become quite normal, and those that were born from slaves, at birth would have a slave mark placed on them, while being a slave trader was more profitable than being a merchant at times.

It was disgusting.

Lex had seen things like this before, but not on such a large scale that was accepted as the norm.

Anyone involved in such things that he saw, he would slaughter, but he was left with a group made up of a few hundred slaves and he didn't know what to do with them.

Even if he gave them resources and money, they were still too weak and had the slave marks, so would never be able to live normal lives again.

The biggest slave owners, slave traders and users of slaves were the rich and the Blood Sword Group, but Lex was about to make sure that such things never occur again in this region.

It would be hard to make such changes alone, while he also needed to keep those slaves that he was harbouring safe, so he called out Angela and Ella.

Seeing all the people in rags and how weak and injured they were, they were immediately saddened and after hearing from Lex what was happening in the region, and hearing their stories, they were eager to help.

"I will handle the Blood Sword Group, but I will leave the towns and gathering the slaves to you two. Kill any slave masters or those that are skilled in markings and were involved in making the slave marks, but also be careful and keep these people safe," instructed Lex.

"Are you sure you want to take them on alone?" asked Angela, who was confident in Lex's abilities, but knew that he wasn't invincible.

"Yes, just make try your best to do the task I have left for you guys,"

Looking back at all the children and people that were mistreated merely because they were born into a lineage of slavery, Lex felt rage burning within himself. The children kind of reminded him of the orphanage that his master had been in, and so did the children that were in the orphanage Zeek was from.

Saving everyone was impossible and Lex's main goals were to grow stronger and unlock all the mysteries about himself, Ella and the universe, however, he couldn't ignore the things that were happening to him.

He was already planning on destroying the Blood Sword Group for daring to mess with him, but now he was even angrier with them and was going to make sure that none of them made it out of the region alive.

Lex, the mysterious figure that wore white robes was a ray of hope, a hero, that appeared to the slaves when they needed him the most. He wore Kano to conceal his face and because he preferred to do so, while he could also use it to fly around the region.

They all praised and thanked him gratefully, but he had already disappeared and appreciated their thanks, but didn't want them to feel indebted to him.

Freeing them was also freeing himself from any guilt or regret that he had in his heart, and he was sure that he had left them in capable hands as he dashed off into the distance.

The towns were large and filled with people that owned slaves and lived carefree and careless lives, so the best thing for Lex to do was to grant such slaves, freedom and the opportunity to fight back.

It would take too long to take on the role of judge, jury and executioner, while killing everyone in the region that had done anything bad would be a waste of time, but Lex was definitely going to crush the Blood Sword Group.

Activating his Self-Cloning Eye, the massacre began and Lex sent his clones around the region and instructed them to eliminate anyone and everything related to the Blood Sword Group.
