Under normal circumstances, they could grit their teeth and accept the enormous number of demon beast corpses held by those independent cultivators. After all, given enough time, those demon beast corpses could be turned into liquid assets.
But these were no ordinary times.
For all they knew, the entire righteous path could soon descend into chaos.
