Chapter 3573: Chapter 3573-each having scruples (1)
In the blink of an eye, these cultivators had surrounded the huge island and were facing off against the strange beasts.
Just like before, the extremely territorial beasts gathered and roared at the foreign cultivators.
The purpose was to intimidate the enemy and make them not dare to approach the giant Island.
However, the number of cultivators in this group far exceeded that of the research organization. It was more than ten times their number.
The strength of these cultivators was clearly stronger, and there were several ancient cultivators in the team.
Regardless of whether he encountered Tang Zhen or the severely injured cultivators from the research organization, he had absolute confidence in defeating and capturing them.
As long as they did not encounter any ancient creatures, they could even roam the sea of chaos.
On the surface, it was to uphold justice, but in fact, these cultivators all had different purposes in their hearts.
Some were coveting Tang Zhen’s secrets, while some were simply adding insult to injury in order to take the opportunity to destroy the research organization.
Seeing that the two targets they were chasing were both on this huge island, the cultivators were overjoyed.
Although there were strange beasts blocking their way, they didn’t care about cultivators at all.
For the cultivators of the Pure Land ancient forest, strange beasts were only targets for them to hunt and never regarded as a real threat.
Because they didn’t breed rule particles, cultivators didn’t have much interest in hunting exotic beasts. However, if necessary, they would kill them without hesitation.
Seeing the two sides in a stalemate, the leader of the research organization was secretly happy, trying to use these exotic beasts to stop the pursuers.
Just as he had this thought, he felt the beast King looking at him with a hint of gloominess and disdain in its eyes.
It was this gaze that made the organization’s leader’s heart jump.
He suddenly realized that the beast King in front of him was not as stupid as his subordinates.
Would this cunning fellow be able to see through his thoughts?
Just as this thought rose in his mind, he saw the beast King let out a long howl and quickly retreated to the center of the island.
There was also a huge mountain there, and there were countless large holes on the mountain. It was the nest where the strange beasts gathered.
At the same time, there was also a natural formation that was constantly running.
Following the beast King’s roar, the strange beasts that had been confronting the cultivators began to retreat in groups.
It was obvious that they had sensed that something was wrong and had chosen to withdraw on their own accord, gathering their strength to defend.
If the cultivators ‘target was Tang Zhen, they would take the initiative to leave this huge island after achieving their goal.
If they had other intentions, to launch an attack on the exotic beasts, this gathering was all the more necessary.
They could concentrate their forces to resist the enemy’s invasion.
The cultivators who had been prepared to fight laughed out loud when they saw the strange beast’s tactfulness.
He looked at the leader of the research organization with a mocking gaze.
Anyone could tell that the other party was planning to use the exotic beasts to resist the pursuit of the pursuers.
However, the beast King was very smart. It did not fall for the trap at all and withdrew from the dispute without hesitation.
The current research organization had already become a beast in a cage. It had no chance of winning.
“Hahahahaha!”
The leader of the research organization suddenly laughed coldly and glanced at the cultivators of the Pure Land ancient forest.
He knew that there were enemies among these cultivators, but there were also cultivators who didn’t care.
Their target was only Tang Zhen and they were not willing to fight to the death with the research organization.
The Pure Land ancient forest was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. For the research organization to have a place, it was definitely not as simple as one imagined.
“Now that things have come to this, what do you all plan to do?”
The cultivator leader asked fearlessly.
Even though he had met with a mishap, he still had a trump card. If these cultivators were unforgiving, he had no fear of fighting to the death.
Among the pursuers, there were naturally cultivators in charge of leading the group. The leader was an ancient cultivator from the Pure Land’s ancient forest.
The other party was highly respected and had managed to survive the attack of the ancient creatures.
Most of the ancient cultivators had terrible luck. They were either devoured by ancient creatures or were severely injured.
To the Pure Land ancient forest, this was a fatal blow. It might not be able to recover its vitality even after hundreds of thousands of years.
It was for this reason that the cultivators were full of resentment towards the research organization and urgently wanted them to take responsibility for this.
“You guys have to bear the main responsibility for the changes that happened in the Pure Land’s ancient forest. Do you have anything to say about this?”
As the leader, the ancient cultivators naturally had the right to judge and interrogate.
As a man of virtue and prestige, he had to do things in accordance with justice, so he had to make such a judgment.
He didn’t want everyone to be convinced, but he had to be able to stand on justice, so as to avoid subsequent troubles.
If he did something wrong and then received punishment, it would seem reasonable.
Choosing to take revenge was equivalent to breaking the rules, and cultivators could be killed.
The leader of the research organization sneered at the ancient cultivator’s question.
this is ridiculous. I wonder what evidence you have to prove that we are involved in this? ”
“If you didn’t break the rules and capture that foreign cultivator without permission, why would you have summoned the ancient creatures?”
The cultivators were extremely angry at the denial of the organization’s leader, and one of them even directly rebuked him.
“I’ll still say the same thing. Show me the evidence first, then convict me.
And who could be sure that this matter was the doing of that cultivator and not a pure coincidence?
There was no connection between these two matters at all. It was just a coincidence that they met.
If you convict us of a crime based on these reasons, who would be convinced by such a judgment?”
The leader of the cultivators sneered as he spoke, his voice filled with undisguisable mockery.
The cultivators muttered to themselves. They also knew that this reason was unreasonable.
Perhaps, there was really a big problem with Tang Zhen. However, there had to be real evidence. He could not casually implicate the innocent.
If they did, some cultivators would definitely take advantage of them to take revenge on their enemies.
At that time, the Pure Land of cultivation, the ancient forest, would be as foul as other places.
When the cultivators thought of this, a strong sense of rejection immediately emerged in their hearts. They absolutely did not want the Pure Land ancient forest to become like that.
However, in the blink of an eye, many cultivators ‘att.i.tudes changed.
In fact, from the beginning, many cultivators didn’t have the intention to kill. It was only because they were in the ancient forest of the Pure Land that they felt that they had the obligation to take part in the pursuit.
At the same time, it was also to find the real murderer and prevent similar things from happening again. After all, he was not so lucky every time.
Aware of the thoughts of the cultivators, the ascetics did not force them to avoid the retaliation of the research organization.
After all, no one could be sure of the number of ancient cultivators the research organization had.
Did he die from the attacks of the ancient creatures, or was he hiding due to his injuries, or could he appear at any time to fight?
Once they found out about today’s incident, it was hard to guarantee that they would not retaliate. As the leader of the team, he would definitely become the primary target of revenge.
He definitely couldn’t take the blame for this.
“Since you’re not convinced by the verdict and the other cultivators have the same intention, then we’ll postpone the decision.
However, the cultivator you’re pursuing has many suspicious points, and we must capture him.
If the ancient creature’s attack was really related to the other party, he had to be even more careful.
A similar disaster is not allowed to happen again!”
The ancient cultivators ‘on-the-spot judgment eased the tense situation and made the cultivators of the research organization secretly relieved.
As long as they could survive the current crisis, the following matters would be much easier to handle. They might even be able to take advantage of the situation and use the strength of these cultivators to capture Tang Zhen.
