Sect Master’s Immortal Journey Chapter 978: Inspection
The leader of the Five Penal Guards said nothing, and just asked his men to question the four True Lords of Yuanshen, including Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang had no need to conceal his identity. He cooperated honestly with the enquirer and reported his identity and origin.
This is not a secret, nor is there anything shameful about it.
Hearing that Meng Zhang was the head of the Taiyi Sect, and that he was heading to the homeland of the Dali Dynasty to pay homage to Emperor Bawu, the leader couldn't help but take another look at him.
He may not have heard of the name of Taiyi Sect, but with a master in the Yuanshen stage, Taiyi Sect must be the Yuanshen Sect.
If you are qualified to visit Emperor Bawu, you still have some status.
Next, the attitude of the Fifth Punishment Guard who was responsible for interrogating Meng Zhang became much kinder.
After asking about the origins of the four True Lords of Yuanshen, the leader began to speak.
He calls himself Feng Baofeng and is the deputy commander of the Five Penal Guards.
This time surrounding this place and trapping everyone here is also a last resort.
A few years ago, Wu Xingwei received news that a demonic cultivator was haunting near the Hengjue Mountains.
Wu Xingwei sent a large team of troops to hunt down the demon cultivator.
It's just that the demon cultivators are secretive, good at hiding, cunning and changeable, and have escaped their pursuit many times.
The reason they surrounded this place was because they suspected that a demonic cultivator had infiltrated it, so they had to conduct a careful investigation.
There must be many inaccuracies in what Feng Baofeng said.
Demon cultivators are the public enemies of the world of cultivation, and everyone will kill them if they find them.
As long as the demonic cultivator dares to appear in public, the official Dali Dynasty will definitely pursue and kill him, at least on the surface, regardless of what he thinks in his heart.
There seems to be nothing wrong with Wu Xingwei's pursuit of the demon cultivator.
But Meng Zhang happened to have some understanding of the internal situation of the Dali Dynasty through the intelligence obtained in Tiangong.
There have always been demon cultivators within the Dali Dynasty.
These demonic cultivators are not all enemies of the Dali Dynasty, and they even have certain cooperation with the Dali Dynasty.
The secret demon lineage that True Lord You Hongzhi of Sihai Trading Company invested in was a special case.
The lineage of secret demons that confuse the Dali Dynasty will of course be completely strangled by the Dali Dynasty.
Other demon cultivators, as long as they do not violate the laws of the Dali Dynasty and do not cause trouble, can still find a living space within the Dali Dynasty.
Although everyone in the world of cultivation calls for beating up demonic cultivators, it is very common for big forces like the Dali Dynasty to secretly collude with demonic cultivators.
As long as it is not revealed openly and no evidence is caught, no one can use this to attack the Dali Dynasty.
Due to their practicing skills, demonic monks often have impulsive, murderous, cruel and bloodthirsty natures.
There are several examples of demon cultivators who cannot control their own nature and cause trouble within the Dali Dynasty from time to time.
Such a demonic cultivator was also the target of strangulation by the Dali Dynasty.
However, as far as Meng Zhang knows, within the Dali Dynasty, the Five Penal Guards are not a department dedicated to hunting down demon cultivators.
The duty of the Five Penal Guards is to maintain the laws and disciplines of the Dali Dynasty.
Unless a demon cultivator commits a major crime and violates the law, he will generally not be pursued by the Five Penal Guards.
Meng Zhang has always paid close attention to the situation in the Dali Dynasty. He often learns about what is happening in the Dali Dynasty through the communication stone tablet placed in Xiongshi Ridge and reading the Di newspaper.
If a demonic cultivator really committed a major crime in the Dali Dynasty and was pursued by the Five Punishment Guards, then the newspaper would have mentioned it to some extent.
But in the past few years, there was no news related to demon cultivators in the newspapers that Meng Zhang had read.
Of course, it is also possible that the Dali Dynasty officially blocked the news and prevented it from leaking out.
But the Five Penal Guards were mobilized in large numbers, and according to the deputy commander named Feng Baofeng, the Five Penal Guards began hunting down demon cultivators a few years ago.
It is simply impossible to keep such a thing secret.
From the contradictions in the other party's words, Meng Zhang vaguely felt that Wu Xingwei's action this time was not simple, and maybe he had an ulterior motive.
Moreover, Meng Zhang himself also has a deep understanding of demonic cultivation.
Demon cultivators have been able to exist in the world of cultivation for many years, and they have not become extinct in the face of the pursuit of all major cultivation forces. Of course, there are many reasons.
But a very important point is that the survivability of demon cultivators is very strong.
Many magic cultivators are good at hiding and have unique hiding methods.
If you don't practice special secret techniques or have special magic weapons, it will be difficult to identify the magic cultivators hidden in the crowd.
Meng Zhang did not notice that these five criminal guards had practiced special secret techniques, nor did he notice that they had used magic weapons to identify demon cultivators.
They used the same methods to deal with ordinary prisoners and tried to find out the hidden demon cultivators through interrogation. That was simply a joke.
Given the reputation of Wu Xing Wei and Han Yao's reputation, Wu Xing Wei should not act so unwisely.
Meng Zhang felt that the interrogation conducted by Wu Xingwei was just a show.
They sealed this place in the name of investigating demon cultivators, probably for other reasons.
I really didn’t expect that I would get into trouble as soon as I went out.
At this time, Meng Zhang no longer had the leisurely thoughts he had before.
The deputy commander of the Fifth Punishment Guard, who called himself Feng Baofeng, did not let go of the four True Lords of Yuanshen present after the interrogation.
After he told the story of Wu Xingwei's actions to hunt down the demon cultivator, he stood there quietly and did not continue to speak.
Everyone still has this bit of patience. The four True Lords of Yuanshen also remained silent and looked for Shuyuan www.zhaoshhuyuan.com to wait for his reaction.
Since it is an official action of the Five Penal Guards to hunt down the demon cultivator, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only hold it back and not break out easily.
After a long time, all the dozens of monks who were surrounded were interrogated, and no problems were found.
But the Five Penal Guards did not give up. Instead, they continued to maintain the blockade here and detained all the monks in the blockade.
Meng Zhang has been paying attention to the actions of these five criminal guards and found that they have no intention of lifting the blockade.
Meng Zhang used his innate magical power to destroy all illusions and looked at all the monks present.
Except for the three Yuanshen monks, he was unwilling to arouse the other party's alert and did not observe them in depth. All the monks present, whether they were the detained monks or the five punishment guards, he had seen through the general details of each other.
Among the monks present, there seemed to be no demonic cultivators.
Of course, since it was only a cursory glance, omissions must be inevitable.
Moreover, the methods of demon cultivation are secretive. Maybe someone can hide from Meng Zhang's delusion-destroying eyes.
However, Meng Zhang still preferred that there should be no demonic cultivators among the monks present.
The reason is very simple. If there really is a demonic cultivator here that can evade his induction, then his spiritual sense derived from the Tianji master will probably automatically warn him.
At that time, the demon cultivator You Hongzhi of the secret demon lineage did not hide his spiritual sense, let alone other demon cultivators.
