THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

The Devil in Human skin

***

The house used by the Moon Shadow Group in Tinsang Village turned out to be a temporary branch headquarters, Fang An sniffed out all the information from the 13 children.

Not only that, Fang An also asked for a picture of the situation around the headquarters, both in terms of roads, guard, as well as how many members of Shadow Moon in Tinsang village.

If from the outside, the headquarters used will look like a simple village house, surely no one will think if the house is the headquarters of the Moon Shadow Group.

The Moon Shadow Group itself was a group unknown to many, as this Group was unlike the Ghost Valley Group, even the smallest groups like the Flying Knives Group and White Lion Group were quite widely known in Chang Lan City.

For at the branch headquarters in Tinsang Village, there were 9 people, two ordinary people and 7 Cultivators, those two ordinary people would be operating, because if a Cultivator who operates will definitely be easily suspected.

The two people operating both were women and one of them was Xia Yishi.

Such tactics are indeed very effective, the proof is that Fang An himself felt nothing but just keep his distance and always be vigilant, in fact he was still caught as well.

"Sister, is big brother also a Cultivator?" a 7-year-old boy asked Fang An.

Fang An nodded accompanied by a smile, he looked at the entire somewhat dark and stuffy room where the light there relied on just one oil lamp, moreover it was already night.

A guard came to their prison holding a bowl of food that contained only rice without any side dishes.

"It's eat..!" said the guard by pushing a bowl of rice from behind the bars so that the bowl is tilted and finally the rice in it spilled.

"Eat and spend, tomorrow you must prepare because there are three people who will come to choose you!" said the guard with a loud tone of snapping after which he came out leaving them.

The 13 children immediately swarmed over the spilled food and ate it regardless of whether it tasted good or not.

Fang An's heart felt crisp at that, he could not bear to see the suffering of all of them, let alone they were just in love with a bowl of rice to be eaten by such a child.

Although Fang An is not a descendant of a noble, but since childhood his life is quite secure. Fang is no less affectionate than both of his parents so make himself realize if there are still children out there who are not as lucky as him.

"Sister didn't eat?" asked the little boy and held out a rice that did not reach a mouthful to Fang An to eat.

Fang An wanted to refuse, but given the little boy's good intentions, he accepted the mouthful of rice and then ate it, all for the sake of keeping the little boy's feelings in check, and it didn't feel like Fang An's eyes were watering from feeling sorry for all of them.

"It's too bad they can treat these children like animals" Fang An murmured as he clenched his hands tightly.

Without Fang An noticing when he was angry, a faint red aura emerged from his fist then the aura spread out and filled Fang An's entire body.

Sparks of lightning flash light also appeared, although the appearance was only a fraction of a second, only the lightning-like light appeared many times.

All the children in the room were shocked to see Fang An's body being covered by a strange faint red aura, moreover, the stuffy room was now starting to feel a little hot.

"Fang An, you managed to form your first Fire Element Spirit Root, moreover you have also risen to Level 2!" said Feng Huang.

Fang An who was unaware of that looked at his palm as well as his entire body which was enveloped by a faint red Aura, not to mention the subtle flashes of lightning light that were also seen appearing countless times.

"Why can? And this white light was like the lightning whip of a master!"

"That is the essence of the lightning element that is almost formed, if I don't mispredict it, it is most likely the trigger for the rise in your ability level due to your previous fight with the three Yu Zhe who have levels 4 and 5, respectively, and now strengthened with your anger, it can also make your Fire Essence which is almost now formed!" said Feng Huang.

Fang An sensed that his Qi vortex was also increasing, even he felt like there was something inside his body.

Fang An quickly meditated to control the red aura created from his first Fire Element Spirit Root.

Though Fang An had once issued a faint Blue aura that also had hot air, but now his aura was actually red.

Fang An inhaled a breath slowly then he exhaled a turbid wind that also contained hot air.

"Yu Zhe Level 2, it feels a little different than before!" fang An muttered without caring about the gazes of all the frightened children looking at Fang An.

One of them wanted to say something, but broke it off and could only nod, though his heart wanted to say that Fang An did not need to do anything that could threaten his life.

After everything had rested, Fang An noticed the bodies of each of them, and with a tightly grasped hand, Fang An stared towards the Magic Spell Paper that was padlocking the iron bars door.

"You should take advantage of Fang An's tomorrow situation, the guard said there would be people coming to pick and buy them, so you use this opportunity to make a mess!" said Feng Huang.

"Does the teacher have an idea?" ask Fang An.

"There! Tomorrow you lure them all out and make a noise so that the members are focused on you, but before that, you pass on this plan to these children so that they prepare to escape as you draw the attention of these criminals with riots!" said Feng Huang.

"But teacher, one of them has a Yu Zhi, I can't possibly face that person!" fang An said.

"Since it's only one person, I can lend you a little of your strength, so make sure you've defeated the others who possess Yu Zao's abilities!" said Feng Huang.

"Well, I'll follow teacher's plan!"

Fang An started to simulate everything, he might be able to defeat six people Yu Zao, only he had to be careful with a Yu Zhi, as he could not possibly fight against him.

For Feng Huang's own power loan, Fang An still could not predict, because he did not know what the strength of the loan would be as strong as what.

Fang An laid down his body, only that he could not sleep at the thought of the problems he would soon face, and finally for a whole night he could not sleep.

***

As Feng Huang had said, Fang An relayed his plan to the children when they were all awake, after all, after that they could all just wait for the Guardians to come bring the person who planned to buy one of them.

After a long time, the door was opened, and a few feet of people were heard coming down the stairs.

Five figures - one female in her 40s, and two fat men in neat and expensive clothes, accompanied by two guard men - stood in front of the detainees.

"Sir, please choose each of these 14 children, who you want to buy!" said one of the guards.

The three people who were visible from among the nobles noticed the 14 children standing, their third eyes equally locked onto Fang An.

"I want that! It seemed like the child was from among the people, not to mention his unique hair color, as well as his body that looked healthier than the others!" said the middle-aged woman.

"Eee, I want that young man too!" the fat man in blue clothes also expressed his desire to buy Fang An.

"I also want the child, quickly ask your mistress, how much the white-haired child is worth!" said the fat man another one.

"Master Yun Lang, I ask you not to take the child away from me!" said the middle-aged woman.

The fat man in yellow clothes named Yun Lang snorted then said, "Why not? As long as I can still buy it, I will still take it, so who is able to give the highest offer, then he will be the one who will win and has the right to take it!" said Yun Lang.

"Mister Yun Lang's words are indeed true, it's best that we compete with the price alone, so how do you agree Miss Guong?" ask the fat man in blue.

"Well, I accept this competitive challenge!" answer the woman.

Fang An's eyes became red because he was made like an auction item, because only items sold at the auction could bargain for the scramble with price competition.

The problem was that he was neither an item nor an animal, this made Fang An even more determined to stop the Human Trafficking, let alone that Fang An had already marked them all as Human-skinned Demons, be it the Moon Shadow Group, or the merchants who wanted to buy it.

"Then get the kid out and bring him upstairs for us to auction!" said Yun Lang.

The two guards immediately unsealed the lock after which they brought Fang An up without locking the door back with the Magic Spell Paper, as they were sure that the children would not dare to do anything.

"Prepare to make a fuss with Fang An, lure them all out so that the children inside can escape!" said Feng Huang.

"Good teacher!" replied Fang An.
