94: Chapter 90 What I’ve Seen_1 94: Chapter 90 What I’ve Seen_1 Due to the limited space and Bai Lian’s presence, it was inconvenient to practice the Four Spirits Body Refinent Technique.
After completing the ridian Rush Practice, Jiang Wang began to cultivate the Control Yuan Technique.
Inside the Tongtian Palace, he moved Path Origin around, forming the character for “peace” and then the character for “hope,” never tiring of the exercise.
He didn’t know how long it had been when faint human voices reached his ears.
Jiang Wang ca out of his ditative state and turned to look at Bai Lian.
Bai Lian gave him a quiet look.
The voices drew closer.
“Damn it!
Doing this boring stuff every day.
I didn’t join the Procuratorate to beco a hunter,” one voice said.
Another voice urged, “Say less.”
The first voice replied, “He’s not here, what’s there to be afraid of?”
Despite saying this, his voice was noticeably quieter.
Jiang Wang’s heart stirred.
What did he an by ‘hunter’?
Were they here to hunt Fierce Beasts?
But there seed to be no sound of battle.
Previously, Zhao Rucheng had said that soone on Jade Balance Peak stopped Dou Yuei from lifting the mountain.
Is that person not present now?
The Procuratorate…
the people on Jade Balance Peak, indeed belong to Zhuang Ting.
The Fierce Beasts ravaging the Three Mountains Region, truly related to Zhuang Ting!
His mind was a whirl of thoughts as the two voices approached, apparently heading up the mountain.
Jiang Wang stayed motionless and silent, following Bai Lian’s lead, still unsure of what they were ant to do.
But the secrets of Jade Balance Peak and Zhuang Ting compelled him to dwell on them a bit more.
The footsteps halted outside the cave, and two haggard-looking Cultivators appeared within sight.
One was exceptionally tall, the other had a full beard.
Both were holding a birdcage-like object, and they both looked at Jiang Wang and his companion.
They were stunned, and so was Jiang Wang.
“They’ve seen us!” Jiang Wang said.
“Isn’t that obvious?” Bai Lian replied.
“Didn’t we set up an Array Plate?”
“Oh.
That Array Plate.
It was just too heavy in my pocket, I just put it there casually.”
“…”
Jiang Wang suppressed his emotions, barely drawing his sword to rise when Bai Lian had already floated out of the cave.
Now, free from the wrap of beast skin, her exquisite figure could not be hidden.
As she was in the air, she indeed beca part of a beautiful scene.
She stretched out her hands and lightly pressed them on the foreheads of the two Cultivators.
In fact, the two Cultivators had reacted instantly, but their Dao Technique crumbled before taking shape.
It seed as though they shouted sothing, but their voices were silenced by so force.
The two Cultivators fell softly to the ground, and Bai Lian bent down to pick up the two cages.
“Did you kill them?” Jiang Wang asked.
If he hadn’t misheard, these two Cultivators were from the Departnt of Penalty.
In a way, they were one of the Transcendent forces maintaining the stability of Zhuang Country.
Killing them was definitely not sothing Jiang Wang wanted to see.
“They’ve just fainted, that’s all.
How could I be so foolish?” Bai Lian said teasingly: “What if you start to dislike ?”
Jiang Wang really couldn’t cope with these subtle provocations and simply asked, “What do we do next?”
Bai Lian, holding the cages in her hands, walked back nimbly.
She handed one of the cages to Jiang Wang, “Take a look, what’s this?”
Inside the cage, there were countlessly many miniature beasts.
Upon closer inspection, each one was moving, not dead objects.
“What is this?” Jiang Wang didn’t hide his limited knowledge as a youth from a small town.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t trying, but he wasn’t like those born into privilege who naturally lived amidst beautiful scenery.
And there was nothing to regret or pity about it, for he was already on the path to seeing the scenery.
“Beast cages!” Bai Lian shook the cage, and the wild beasts inside beca frantic, scurrying back and forth.
“Just like a storage box, only what’s contained inside are living wild beasts?”
Storage boxes were extrely rare objects, legendary even.
Although Jiang Wang had never owned one, he had heard of them countless tis.
The wonder of storing myriad things in a single box had always filled him with longing.
Bai Lian nodded and raised her hand, saying, “Carry them.”
Jiang Wang took the two beast cages and examined them closely.
He asked, “Why are people from the Procuratorate here?
What do they need so many wild beasts for?”
Instead of answering, Bai Lian started walking towards the interior of the cave.
“Wait, isn’t the mountain spider sleeping inside?” asked Jiang Wang.
Bai Lian turned around, cocked her head, and looked at Jiang Wang.
“Why would the mountain spider be sleeping inside?”
“Didn’t you say… this is the mountain spider’s lair?”
“Am I to be taken at my word?” snorted Bai Lian as she turned away, “So gullible, be careful or so enchantress will swallow you whole, bones and all.”
Jiang Wang: “…”
He wasn’t foolish, it was just that Bai Lian was his lifesaver, and had always shown kindness; he had no reason to doubt her.
Especially over sothing so trivial.
So much so that when he saw two cultivators from the Procuratorate head towards this cave, he didn’t entertain any other thoughts.
Walking further into the cave, Bai Lian took out an ever-bright lantern, made a slight manipulation, and had it float and follow them.
The incredibly spacious interior of the mountain cave was now laid out before Jiang Wang’s eyes.
There were few man-made marks here, just many interlaced cave openings leading to unknown depths, like a labyrinth.
Bai Lian, however, knew her way around and entered one of the cave openings without hesitation.
After much zigzagging and a long walk, the space suddenly opened up!
They were in a vast valley that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The valley was dotted with trees, rocks, flowers, and grass, but the scene didn’t give off a sense of beauty and tranquility.
Instead, it made one’s mood gloomy, with an irritating sense of restlessness.
Many caves were suspended on both sides of the valley walls; Jiang Wang and Bai Lian were in one of them.
Jiang Wang thought that perhaps many of the earlier caves could lead to this valley.
“Open the beast cages and pour them down,” Bai Lian said.
“Okay.”
Jiang Wang had already studied how to do it, and now he set down the beast cage in his right hand, lifted the one in his left, aid the cage door at the valley below, and opened it.
“Roar!
Hiss!
Screech!
Squeak!”
Countless roars echoed in his ears as a tide of wild beasts poured out from the cage.
In the mont they surged forth, they returned to their normal size and then fell one after another into the valley below.
These were all ordinary wild beasts, including lions, tigers, bears, and leopards, as well as birds, sparrows, foxes, and rabbits.
So were docile by nature, others were ferociously brutal, but all were within the normal range.
But when they fell into the valley, sothing horrific happened.
Their eyes were the first to change, turning blood-red almost instantly.
Rabbits grew vicious fangs, and little sparrows had claws like knives… So ballooned in size, others sprouted sharp horns.
Jiang Wang witnessed it with his own eyes.
These wild beasts…
were transforming into fierce beasts!
Those irrational fierce beasts, those brutal, ferocious, nightmare creatures.
Those that had nearly brought Zhuang Country’s Three Mountain Realm to its knees and also wreaked havoc in its various counties.
They… had actually transford from ordinary wild beasts!
Caught by the Procuratorate’s people and undergoing their transformation in this valley.
This was a trendous secret and an even more cruel truth.
