2 minutes later...
The two men walked into the alley. From their clothing, Ling could tell that they were cultivators. One of them was carrying a sack above his shoulders.
Ling from his hiding place wondered what was in the small sack.
The two men looked around in the alley and then the one carrying the sack let it down.
He loosened the rope used to tie its mouth and brought out a 16-year-old girl dressed in rags.
Her hair color is red and her face is heart-shaped.
Her lips had already turned blue.
Ling's heart tightened.
What were they going to the poor girl?
He really wanted to jump out of hiding and save her but these two men were not ordinary. They were cultivators.
A slap from a cultivator can still be felt even after a year.
He was just an ordinary prostitute who was given a day off.
While Ling was still deciding on what to do, the two men had laid the girl flat on the ground.
Her hair was in a mess but it did not affect her beauty in any way.
"Big bro, we made a nice catch this time" one of the men muttered.
"Yes," the 2nd man nodded in agreement.
The 1st man pulled out a dagger and wanted to stab the unconscious girl in the heart when Ling who couldn't take it any longer rushed out of his hiding place screaming.
The men were startled and shocked.
"Big bro, didn't we seal this place after making sure there was no one present?" the 2nd man asked in confusion.
He had sized the youth before them up and found he had no cultivation.
"You...get lost" the 1st man shouted but Ling did not move.
He stood close to them outside the barrier that had just appeared three feet away from him.
"Release her and take me instead," said Ling with a determined face
