Why did the two cultivators of the Arrest Department appear here, and why did they bring beast cages and capture so many wild beasts? There seemed to be no need to guess their goal anymore.
Jiang Wang looked at the other beast cage that had not been opened, and had the urge to cut it into pieces.
He remembered clearly how many cultivators died in the battle at Alioth Peak, and how many sacrifices were made.
So the appearance of the wild beasts was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!
Then, all those struggles, those sacrifices, that senior brother who praised himself before he died, that city lord who stood at the peak of the Vertical Brush Peak and skinned the Killer Cliff Bees, that woman who cut off her own path of cultivation and destroyed five residences in a row … What was the point of all this?
"Don't move." White Lotus lightly touched Jiang Wang's shoulder, feeling his body tremble uncontrollably, and said softly: "This time, I really used a camouflage technique."
In the valley, the evolution of wild beasts into wild beasts was finally complete. Because of their brutal nature, many wild beasts started killing each other on the spot, roaring continuously, and flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
"There are so few wild beasts in this wave?"
Following this dissatisfied voice, a cultivator wearing the robes of the Arrest Department stepped through the air and arrived.
Jiang Wang subconsciously held his breath. Stepping through the air, he was at least a Soaring Dragon realm cultivator!
This person was dissatisfied, but did not pursue the matter. He stopped in the air of the valley, his hands forming seals, and a mountain wall rumbled away, revealing a wide valley.
From Jiang Wang's angle, he could not see where the valley connected to the other side.
At this moment, the Arrest Department cultivator's seals changed again. Jiang Wang noticed that there were faint crimson formation patterns flashing on the ground of the valley as far as his eyes could see. However, the City Dao Academy only imparted some basic knowledge related to formation patterns and formations. He could not recognize what these formation patterns represented.
However, those newly 'born' wild beasts stopped killing. As if they were being controlled by something, they ran into the valley together.
Where would these wild beasts run to? Which village? Which small town? How much food would they waste, and how many innocent people would they devour?
At this thought, Jiang Wang could not help but feel murderous intent.
This was the first time he felt murderous intent towards someone from the Arrest Department, a cultivator who represented the Manor Court to a certain extent.
For the students of the Dao Academy. The Ministry of War, the Narcotics Department … these places were one of the places they would return to in the future.
It was true that after one's cultivation was successful, one would be able to enter the manor and become an official was the highest pursuit. However, there were quite a number of people who discovered a path that was more suitable for them in their cultivation. There were also many people who dreamed of becoming an enforcer since they were young.
It was an important transcendent power that was used to arrest Xing E and maintain the stability of the country.
As for the cultivators of the Arrest Department on Yuheng Peak, what exactly were they doing?
"He can't be killed." White Lotus sensed something and immediately said, "If anyone here dies, the manor will immediately receive the news. The reason why this place wasn't heavily guarded was because the lives of these people were the best means of warning. And the powerhouse in charge of this matter had the ability of So Close, Yet Worlds Apart. If he was alarmed, he would appear here in an instant. At that time, even I won't be able to escape. "
Jiang Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could he have the ability to kill an expert who was at least in the Soaring Dragon Realm?
However, he had thought it through. White Lotus didn't kill the two Arrest Department cultivators outside the cave. How could it be because she cared about his feelings? It was clearly because she didn't dare.
At this time, the experts of the Arrest Department had already left, and the canyon was closing with a rumble.
"What's behind the canyon?" Jiang Wang asked.
"I can't take you there," White Lotus shook her head. "That place isn't like here. There's a true great formation, and even I don't dare to go deep. At most, I can tell you my guess. "
"What guess?"
"You should know that the main ingredient of the Meridian Unlocking Pill is the Dao meridians of demonic beasts. But have you ever thought that there are more than hundreds of millions of humans in the vassal countries? How great is the demand for Meridian Unlocking Pills? Even if all those demonic beasts were killed, would they be able to reproduce? I'm guessing that the reason why demonic beasts can be so endless is greatly related to these vicious beasts. "
This guess was very likely to be true, especially when those vicious beasts were right in front of them, transformed from wild beasts. Through some unknown method, it wasn't impossible for them to transform into demonic beasts with natural Dao meridians. After all, there were originally some special vicious beasts that could use magic. Apart from lacking intelligence, they were no different from demonic beasts.
If this was true. Then in a sense, Alioth Peak was one of the resource bases of the Zhuang Ting. It was also the guarantee that the Zhuang Kingdom could develop. It was also the source of Meridian Unlocking Pills that Daoist disciples like Jiang Wang and Ling He needed for cultivation.
But …
The ordinary people who died in front of the vicious beasts.
The people who stood in front of the common people and fought against the vicious beasts until their deaths.
The people who were kept in the dark, including Jiang Wang.
What was this?
"If that's the case, then why did they hide it from everyone? Why did they watch the cultivators of the various cities continuously sacrifice human lives? "Jiang Wang's voice was hoarse. His outlook on life had been greatly impacted.
"You have to know that all demonic beasts raised in captivity will lose their natural Dao meridians in the next generation." It seemed that White Lotus wasn't very sure either. She said thoughtfully, "I think that wildness is a necessary element for demonic beasts, and killing is a necessary process. There's a secret that I don't know about, but it determines this kind of result. Therefore, this kind of thing can't be widely known. Instead, it can only be in the hands of a few people, because no one is willing to die meaninglessly. "
Her gaze turned to ridicule. "Or, when you become a high-ranking official in Xin 'an City. Why don't you ask Zhuang Gaoxian in person? "
When you become a high-ranking official, why don't you ask the Zhuang Kingdom's ruler?
This sentence was just a very normal tease.
However, it was a sentence that terrified Jiang Wang.
It wasn't that he hadn't imagined what he would do in the future after knowing about this kind of thing. He firmly believed that no matter what the reason behind these vicious beasts being raised was, he would stand in front of the innocent people who had died and abolish this kind of thing.
However, White Lotus's question made him think.
Most of the big shots in Xin 'an City had cultivated their way up from various big cities. They must have experienced or felt the pain of being ravaged by vicious beasts. Some of them must have harbored the dream of protecting the land and the people since they were young, and they had the ambition to save the common people.
However, there was nothing.
The Zhuang Kingdom had been established for more than three hundred years. All the information about the vicious beasts was still kept in the dark.
All the youths who had vowed to change the world were ultimately changed by the world!
And it wasn't just the Zhuang Kingdom. The Yong Kingdom was like this, and the whole world was like this!
Wasn't this terrifying?
How frightening was this!
… …
"How about it? Do you want to destroy this place?"
White Lotus deliberately moved closer to his ear and whispered, "On one side is the Zhuang Kingdom that you will pledge loyalty to in the future, and on the other side are countless Meridian Unlocking Pills. On the other side are the pitiful commoners of the Three Mountains Region. Oh, they don't seem to have much value … "
Jiang Wang interrupted her. "I want to."
At this moment, he didn't let his brain think. Instead, he let his instincts decide. He gave it to the inescapable kindness and pity in the depths of human nature.
White Lotus looked at him for a while and said, "This is the first thing I want you to do."
