Clues

These "spirit beasts" were actually people?

Chickens, ducks, cattle, horses, even sows and Immortal Cranes—were all code names for different cultivators?

Mo Hua's pupils contracted slightly.

The Message Token contained a set of "accounts."

The accounts recorded a tremendous number of transactions.

That meant Bald Eagle's group...

They were not merely kidnapping and selling people. In secret, they were likely carrying out large-scale "trafficking" of cultivators.

Selling people as though they were "spirit beasts"!

Mo Hua's gaze turned cold. That damned Bald Eagle had gotten off too easily...

Looking at the long string of restored "spirit beast accounts," Mo Hua furrowed his brow slightly, doubts stirring in his heart.

Though Bald Eagle was powerful, he was not powerful enough to establish such a large-scale forbidden "business" on his own.

He might only have been a minor leader.

One link in the entire chain of trafficking.

There had to be many more sinful cultivators along this trafficking chain.

Moreover, so many cultivators had been sold, yet everything appeared calm on the surface, without revealing the slightest clue.

That meant Bald Eagle's group had a long-standing, stable criminal operation.

A deeply entrenched chain of interests.

Perhaps they even had a "black umbrella" behind them...

It was also very possible that some great cultivator behind them had concealed the Heavenly Calculation for them...

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, sighed, and silently put the Message Token into his Storage Ring.

For now, this was beyond his ability to handle...

When he had greater strength, more connections, or had uncovered the secrets within, he would find a way to investigate the matter until the truth came to light.

Before then, no one could be allowed to know about this Message Token.

Otherwise, it would surely invite disaster.

He was only a minor cultivator, alone
