These two black-robed men were probably the "guards" of the beast nest in the pinewood forest. They were casually chatting as if they were discussing the famous figures of Xu Country's younger generation.
Jiang Wang didn't listen carefully. He held his breath the entire time, paying close attention to these two people. If he was discovered, he would immediately take action to restrain them.
Speaking of which, hiding in a tree whenever there was a situation didn't suit his current cultivation level. However, he might as well not use those shallow concealment dao techniques he had grasped. He would expose himself by revealing the dao technique's fluctuations.
The concealment robe's three effects could be used against Divine Arrival Realm experts. If he used it now, it would inevitably be used against him.
Hiding in the Red Makeup Mirror was a better choice. However, Jiang Wang didn't trust Yin Guan enough to expose all of his trump cards.
After all, he didn't agree to join the Doorless Hell. Even if they joined the Gateless Hell, the positions of the Yama-Kings had just been vacated.
There was nothing wrong with being careful. Moreover, at this time, he could bear the risk of being discovered.
Jiang Wang thought to himself that it was time to prepare a concealment dao technique. In fact, he already had this idea long ago. However, after obtaining the concealment robe, he completely let it go. Now that he thought about it, although the concealment robe was useful, he had to consider different situations.
He didn't know if it was Jiang Wang's luck or the two guards' luck. They didn't seem to think that someone would sneak into the pinewood forest, so they didn't observe their surroundings. Jiang Wang was right above their heads, but no one looked up.
After the two guards left, Yin Guan appeared again.
Jiang Wang couldn't see what technique he used from beginning to end. The gap between their cultivation levels was temporarily widened.
"What a surprise. You don't even have a decent concealment dao technique."
Yin Guan, who had a handsome face, spoke very straightforwardly. He was not pretty at all.
Of course, with his strength, he didn't need to be good at talking.
"Oh, I rarely need to hide." Jiang Wang casually replied.
He was mocking Yin Guan for being an assassin and always hiding.
It was only because he was becoming more familiar with Yin Guan that he would occasionally joke about him.
Yin Guan was also stunned by the mockery.
After all, not everyone had the guts to joke with King Qinguang.
"I originally wanted to pass on my unique concealment technique to you, but it seems like you don't need it." Yin Guan said indifferently.
Jiang Wang curled his lips. He didn't believe it at all.
A person like Yin Guan would definitely not show excessive kindness and act as a good person. If one day he really wanted to teach Jiang Wang a unique concealment technique, he would definitely need Jiang Wang to do something worthy of this technique.
Therefore, Yin Guan was also joking with him right now. He was waiting for him to apologize and flatter him before coldly rejecting him.
However, it was probably because he hadn't joked with anyone for a long time that he was a little unrealistic and stiff.
Even though Jiang Wang could see it clearly in his heart, he still pretended to be "shocked" and cooperated. "Actually, I often need to hide!"
Yin Guan glanced at him indifferently and said, "Keep up."
Obviously, Jiang Wang's "performance" was too superficial, which made him lose interest in joking.
Smart people were dull like this because it was too easy to see through the truth. Sometimes, even if they wanted to coax themselves, they couldn't do it.
They followed the two guards into the depths of the pine forest from a distance. There were no surprises or dangers along the way. The methods of a Divine Descent cultivator were not something these two guards could detect.
In this pine forest, Vicious Beasts could be seen everywhere. However, all the Vicious Beasts they encountered along the way, even when they suddenly attacked each other, all turned a blind eye to the two guards.
Vicious Beasts didn't have any intelligence. They only had killing instincts, but humans still had many ways to control them.
For example, the items on the two guards, or Yin Guan's more direct and straightforward power suppression.
For a long distance, it was a primitive environment where Vicious Beasts lived.
However, when they reached the center of the pine forest, Jiang Wang saw man-made traces.
There was a huge underground cave entrance. Hordes of Vicious Beasts were heading underground through the cave entrance.
The Vicious Beasts that only had bloodthirsty instincts were very well-behaved at this time, very "following the rules."
Five cultivators holding special whips stood outside the cave entrance. Occasionally, a Vicious Beast would become restless and they would lash out with the whips. After being whipped, the Vicious Beasts would immediately be tamed.
Some kind of restriction was probably added to these whips.
Jiang Wang noticed that the Vicious Beasts' auras were very strong. They were far more ferocious than the other Vicious Beasts scattered in the pine forest. It was probably because they had been carefully selected that they were driven here.
The two guards and the cultivators holding the whips exchanged a few words. After all the Vicious Beasts had entered the cave, they followed in.
"Two choices," Yin Guan said indifferently. "I kill them, or you knock them out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang had already formed a seal.
From the void, a pitch-black chain stretched out. It was as fast as lightning. With a turn, it tied up the five cultivators holding the whips.
It was the Legalist secret technique passed down by Yue Leng. It was one of the ten great chains, the Imprisoning Chains.
Jiang Wang leaped forward and directly suppressed them with his strength, forcibly sealing their Dao Energy and five senses.
During the whole process, these cultivators couldn't resist at all.
"You've acknowledged him as your master?" Yin Guan obviously recognized Yue Leng's secret technique.
"No." Jiang Wang waved his hand. "The Blue Medal reward was not returned to Linzi for convenience's sake."
Yin Guan didn't say anything else and directly walked into the underground cave.
In the past, if he knew that the Vicious Beasts were created by humans, he would've killed them. It was very likely that Jiang Wang would've wanted to kill these guards.
But now, he already knew that the Vicious Beasts' nests were resources related to the creation of the Meridian Unlocking Pill. The cultivators on guard duty were only following orders. In fact, they were doing such a thing with the will of loyalty and responsibility. It was very difficult to determine right and wrong.
Innocent might not be innocent. But there didn't seem to be a damned reason.
When Yin Guan mentioned the two choices, Jiang Wang subconsciously made a move. It might've been a choice of conscience.
The two of them walked along the underground entrance. From time to time, a brazier lit up the path ahead.
Such a scene made Jiang Wang think of the underground cave in the void continent. He thought of the Fire of Celebration and the Star Beasts in the Nether Heaven. He even suddenly wondered if there was a Nether Heaven in the depths of the Modern Realm. There were a lot of greedy eyes hiding behind them …
Finally, following this group of Vicious Beasts, they walked into a huge cave.
Most of the space in the cave was covered by a large formation with complicated runes.
The Vicious Beasts walked into the formation one by one and lay on the ground obediently.
An Inner Mansion cultivator stood guard outside the formation.
Two guards approached and reported something in a low voice.
Yin Guan and Jiang Wang hid outside the cave and didn't follow in. Because the inside of the cave was very spacious. There was no place to hide.
Jiang Wang looked at him. The meaning of his question was very clear — what should they do next? Should they just barge in?
Yin Guan didn't speak. He only raised two fingers. A wisp of green flame flashed in front of Jiang Wang's eyes.
Jiang Wang's vision blurred. The things he saw changed. He obtained a second perspective outside of his own.
He saw the situation in the huge cave. He also saw the face of that Inner Mansion cultivator from Xu Country. He saw the specific situation of the large formation. He also saw those ruthless Vicious Beasts lying quietly in the formation. It was so clear.
This was the perspective of one of the guards!
What a miraculous method!
But Jiang Wang didn't have time to express his amazement. Because in the next moment, he saw two cultivators pushing a prisoner carriage over from the other side of the cave.
An old man was locked up in the prisoner carriage.
No.
He wasn't human.
Most parts of him were exactly the same as a human. But there was a single black horn on his forehead.
He was a demon!
