"Big sister, I'm a weasel! What do you think I have inside me, musk? Just make do."

Huang Jiayou was about to continue his rambling when he turned around and was so frightened by Hu Mang's cold gaze that he stopped talking.

"How much do you know about the Demonic Path? For example, do you remember what happened 25 years ago? You must have just been born back then, Young Master Hu."

Hu Mang thought about it carefully.

"The group that kidnapped the children?"

"Yes, it's that group of people. I strongly suspect that Aunt Bai has colluded with them."

"What evidence do you have? Weren't all those people who kidnapped the children back then wiped out?"

Although Hu Mang had almost no memory of that time, Mama Hu mentioned it a few times, saying that the Daoist officials of more than a dozen blessed lands were stripped of their titles, arrested, or killed, and many people died.

"Young Master Hu, you don't understand. These days, the Demonic Path is just a facade; anyone, human or ghost, can wear it," Huang Jiayou lowered his voice. "For example, I know a few people who sell illegal breakthrough pills underground. They also call themselves the New Demonic Path, the Chemical Demonic Path. From these people, I've learned that Aunt Bai might be getting back into smuggling, and her targets are the overseas Demonic Path."

"Then how can you be sure that these two groups are actually the same group?"

"That's because of that, of course."

Huang Jiayou took out a small box from his pocket, opened it, and inside were several jet-black pills that emitted a fragrance no less intense than that of the other person's body.

You must have studied quite a bit of history. Let me ask you, what was the most prosperous era for the demonic path, and what was the most chaotic era for our Heavenly Gate?"

Hu Mang frowned.

Is it the end of the Yu Dynasty, a century-long demonic calamity?

During the Five Dynasties period, the upper limit of cultivation was limited to the Golden Core.

But that's not the worst part.

Because every change of dynasty is accompanied by the depletion and decline of the Central Plains' fortune, after the collapse of the Yu Dynasty, the Central Plains degenerated from a low-spiritual-energy region to a region without spiritual energy, and then the century-long demonic calamity began.

In that era, the entire Middle Earth became a large-scale training ground for demonic arts, and almost no cultivators in the Middle Earth could resist the invasion of demonic arts.

Until the impoverished state led to change, and change led to progress, the steam-powered cultivation era arrived.

According to rumors, the Yu Dynasty family had many unclear entanglements with overseas demonic sects in order to prolong the dynasty.

If this is true, it means that Liu Wuniang was also involved and played an important role.

Sure enough, Liu Manqing's face turned deathly pale upon hearing this.

"I checked the records from back then. 25 years ago, that group of overseas cultivators came to Pine Peak, where the supervision was relatively weak, under the guise of investment. Ostensibly, they were investing in various factories, but in reality, they were contacting a large number of babies under the guise of charity, testing their Root Bone. If they were suitable for cultivating the demonic path, they would adopt them and take them overseas. Later on, anyone with even slightly better Root Bone would have their Root Bone forcibly modified with Bone-Molding Pill."

Huang Jiayou shook his head with a sigh, "Demons and monsters have earned Spirit Stone, overseas demonic sects have earned medicine, and even our local industry tax revenue will see a surge. Who knows, our Blessed Land's Lord might even have to award this Fifth Aunt Bai an award."

He sighed:

"If we hadn't known that this matter was too risky, and that once it was exposed, we would have been wiped out completely, our Huang Household might have gritted our teeth and joined in."

"..."

Hu Mang and Liu Manqing exchanged a glance, completely unprepared for Huang Jiayou to drop such a bombshell.

"You mean, my mother was involved too?" Liu Manqing asked in a hoarse voice.

"To be honest, I don't know, but if we're going to improve the 'Bone-Molding Pill' formula, I can't think of anyone else besides your mother."

"Your Liu Household was responsible for modifying the Pill Formula, the Bai Household was responsible for contacting overseas demonic cultivators, and the Hui Household used to be involved in smuggling. Now that they've returned to their old ways, they're even more adept at it. Apart from my Huang Household and the Hu Household, who are certain they weren't involved, everyone else is a suspect."

Huang Jiayou paused for a moment, then sighed:

"To be honest, Liu Manqing, if it weren't for Third Aunt Hu, do you think I would dare come to your house? Do you really think I'm not afraid of being silenced by your mother?"

"Since you're certain that Fifth Aunt might be involved, why don't you suspect Liu Manqing?" Hu Mang suddenly asked, a question popping into his head.

"Because I checked, when this matter came to light, Liu Manqing was studying at the Demon Metropolis Art Academy. I think even if Aunt Wu was involved, she would have avoided you. At least I don't feel there's any need to inform you."

Huang Jiayou said helplessly:

"Young Master Hu, how could I dare to report it? If they dig up old grievances, everyone has their own dirty laundry, except for your family, which is as clean as a sheet of paper. If those three families get beheaded by flying swords, wouldn't I also have to go to jail for a few years?"

"Besides, given that Aunt Bai can't run a legitimate business and resorts to all sorts of Evil Dao dealings, who knows if anyone in the local government is tipping her off?"

"Most importantly, my old man left me with a lot of connections and trusted confidants in Pine Peak Security back then. I was able to find out this information thanks in no small part to their tips. What if I smashed the pot and these monsters were gone? Should I notify the Demon Suppression Bureau and send them back in? My old man would probably come to me in my dreams and strangle me to death."

Hu Mang now finally understands the other party's awkward situation and sincerely thanks his mother for her foresight in withdrawing in time, which has resulted in him having no problems now.

No, there is still one problem.

Is his Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians related to those "Bone-Molding Pill"?
