Of course, in addition to the retired Marshal Jiang, there were still a lot of other experts hidden in the family apartment.
This was also why Wei Zhi had chosen to buy the twenty-third floor back then.
Pet trainers were most afraid of these pet hunters, who would do anything to get a spirit beast they fancied. Wei Zhi would at least feel more at ease if he could set up a base for cultivating soul pets in this family apartment.
After Marshal Jiang left, Wei Zhi looked at the five men tied up on the ground and sneered. All that was left was to interrogate them.
Pa!
He snapped his fingers.
Instantly, the vines hanging from the ceiling in the main hall actually woke up as if they had a mind of their own. They dragged the group into the room and hung them from the ceiling one by one.
They were actually plant spirit beasts?
Loopy Toad was startled by this scene. It had thought that the vines on the ceiling were just decorations, and hadn't expected them to be alive.
The plant spirit beasts in the spirit energy world were completely different from those in the Gate Between Worlds. Furthermore, the aura they gave off was different from that of a normal spirit beast, so Loopy Toad couldn't react at all. Although it was currently at third class, it still wasn't strong enough. If it could reach second class or even first class, it would be a lot better than it was now.
At the very least, its perception ability would be several levels higher than it was now.
It had to speed up its cultivation of the "Demon King Heart Sutra"!
This was what Loopy Toad thought in its heart.
Inside the room, Wei Zhi hung the men high from the ceiling. The bone dragon man, who was the leader, had received the worst treatment as he hung upside down.
Arms folded, he went over to the bone dragon man and said, "Tell me, what organization are you from?"
Wei Zhi had already seen that these five people didn't have simple backgrounds. A "pet hunter organization" that dared to break into the family apartment had to be very powerful. Most of the people in this kind of organization relied on the power behind them to survive, and the more power they had, the more arrogant they were.
Unfortunately, this group of people had probably chosen the wrong place today.
The bone dragon man smiled miserably and gritted his teeth, but didn't answer. His face was already flushed with blood, and he looked very uncomfortable.
Loopy Toad knew that apart from absorbing spirit power molecules in the air through photosynthesis, this plant spirit beast actually had a more direct method, and that was to absorb energy from living things … Thus, the man felt exceptionally uncomfortable being hung upside down and having his spirit power sucked away bit by bit.
"I advise you to confess as soon as possible. Once a large illegal organization like yours is wiped out, it won't be a problem for you to be sentenced to a few hundred years." Wei Zhi said faintly, "If you're willing to admit your crimes now and help us find your hideout, I can let you become a tainted witness and reduce your sentence in this incident. What do you think?"
These words caused the group of men in black to break out in a cold sweat, especially the bone dragon man. Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his almost bloodshot face.
He knew that Wei Zhi wasn't joking. Based on the fact that the organization had captured several state-protected spirit beasts, it wouldn't be too much to sentence him to a few hundred years in prison.
After all, in this day and age, people could be arrested and sentenced to nine years in prison for stealing bird eggs …
But Wei Zhi also knew that his words were just a reminder, not a warning or a threat.
Since they had already chosen to engage in this illegal business back then, both the bone dragon man and the men in black behind him were well aware of the legal responsibility they had to bear.
It was like how some celebrities clearly knew that taking drugs was wrong, but still insisted on doing so in search of so-called inspiration. Some live streamers were clearly very popular, but still insisted on using cheats to show off their skills … They knew they couldn't do it, but still did it.
It wasn't easy to get these people to give in.
"I'll give you five minutes. This is your last chance." Wei Zhi stared at the ancient dragon man with a very serious expression on his face.
Five minutes passed, and the bone dragon man gritted his teeth and still refused to give in.
"Time's up."
Wei Zhi was right on time. He had already given the man a chance to repent and admit his guilt, but unfortunately, the man didn't cherish it.
"Two Butterfly!" At that moment, Wei Zhi called out softly.
Loopy Toad: "???"
Wei Zhi grinned. "My Pushing Large Butterfly actually never had a nickname, so I just gave it one. This name symbolizes the friendship between me and Brother Dog."
Loopy Toad was startled … You're actually called Two Butterfly? Why don't you call yourself Two Springs Reflecting the Moon?
Hearing Wei Zhi's call, the Pushing Large Butterfly that had been perched on the flower slowly flew over and scattered a pile of shiny powder on top of the bone dragon man's head.
Loopy Toad: "What's this?"
Wei Zhi replied, "Hallucinogenic powder."
The bone dragon man's face instantly turned unsightly; he hadn't expected Wei Zhi to actually have this trick up his sleeve.
"I originally didn't want to use this trick. After all, the hallucinogenic powder's side effects aren't small. But I've already given him a chance. " Wei Zhi sighed. As he said this, Loopy Toad saw the bone dragon man's pupils gradually begin to slacken as they were stained with a faint layer of red.
This was a symptom of the hallucinogenic powder taking effect.
Wei Zhi stared at the man. "What is your organization?"
The bone dragon man replied, "Demon … Demon Hunters Association …"
Wei Zhi: "How many core members are there?"
The bone dragon man: "Hundreds of core cadres …"
Both Wei Zhi and Loopy Toad were taken aback by this answer. Hundreds of core cadres? That organization had at least thousands, or even tens of thousands of members!
Although Pet Trainers Guilds from all over the country had worked with the police to crack down on a lot of illegal pet hunter organizations over the years, the largest number of people had been just over a hundred. Compared with this organization with hundreds of core cadres, they were just small fry! This time, they had really caught a big fish!

Elsewhere, Wang Ling looked at the time when he got home from school. It was already five o 'clock in the evening, but Loopy Toad still hadn't come back.
For some reason, Wang Ling's heart felt empty.
Logically speaking, no matter how late the appraisal center was, the test would usually be done in three or four hours. Wang Ling knew that Loopy Toad had gone in the morning, and it was actually a little unusual for it to still not be back at this time.
The old man looked at the time and was a little worried. "Ling Ling? Did Loopy Toad get lost? "
When the old man watched TV, he had learned a lot about pet traffickers. In recent years, in particular, the country's crackdown on them had intensified, leading to an endless stream of news about them. But even so, there were still people who took the risk out of desperation to do it.
The old man looked a little worried. "Those pet traffickers can even openly steal giant spirit beasts like gorillas … Loopy Toad is so weak and small, what if it really runs into danger?"
Wang Ling frowned at these words. Because he had signed a soul pet contract with Loopy Toad, he clearly knew that it was safe now. There was no way it would run into life-threatening danger.
As for those soul pet traffickers that Grandfather Wang was talking about …
