High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 193 - 126: Shanhai Demon Alliance, Karma of Good and Evil 2 (Triple Combo)_3
Chen Kuang’s kindness might just be because of her ignorance and weakness.
Wu Man didn’t even raise a hand, yet he tormented her to this extent...
After a long while, Wu Man finally collapsed completely on the ground, her face ghastly pale, her breathing barely stable, and her lower body had turned into a purple snake tail, slowly writhing.
Chen Kuang withdrew the "Sword of Intention" and said calmly, "Don’t try to lie."
The passive ability "I Am the Divine Inspiration" allows him to judge whether what the other person says is true or false.
Wu Man just now, was indeed lying.
She is not a loose cultivator at all.
"I am..."
Wu Man responded in a trembling voice, not daring to even crawl up, just lying prostrate on the ground, filled with immense fear.
This was more than just a simple divine sense technique; the evil aura and hostility contained in the "Sword of Intention" had reached a terrifying level.
Only now did she realize, the first sword was merely a simple warning, not using full strength.
But the second sword, Chen Kuang was serious.
That sword fell, as if a million resentful souls were howling, all she saw was mountains of corpses and seas of blood, countless decaying bodies piled together, like layers of spoiled filled pancakes collapsing onto her like a tidal wave.
This scene was enough to make one collapse mentally.
It’s hard to imagine, just how many people did this White Dragon True Monarch kill to cultivate such a terrifying aura?!
Wu Man thought wrong... She thought the other person was a senior from the demon race who had secluded themselves for years, but she did not expect, this was simply an old monster who killed people like numbing weeds!
Even more frightening, he can actually see through people’s thoughts!
Chen Kuang’s voice was still ethereal, with no apparent emotional fluctuations: "You are from the Mountain and Sea Alliance."
Wu Man dared not delude anymore: "Yes."
Chen Kuang continued: "But the people of the Mountain and Sea Alliance don’t know you’re working for Uncle Wang Yang."
Wu Man struggled to answer: "Yes..."
Chen Kuang said in a deep voice: "You’re in the Tower Ascension Realm... Your status in the Mountain and Sea Alliance should not be low, at least there should be a group of demons obeying your orders. You deceive them, acting with you, ostensibly doing tasks for the Mountain and Sea Alliance, opposing the Divine Farmer Bureau."
"In this way, there’s naturally no flaw; no matter who investigates, they wouldn’t find any relation between the Mountain and Sea Alliance demons and the Chief Constable of the Divine Farmer Bureau."
"But in reality, you deliberately sell them out, then split the spoils with Uncle Wang Yang."
This was his speculation, but he felt it was very close to the truth.
Wu Man, working for Uncle Wang Yang and also being part of the Mountain and Sea Alliance, must be betraying one side.
From Wu Man’s attitude, she most likely wasn’t an undercover from the Mountain and Sea Alliance, but rather, a plant from Uncle Wang Yang’s side.
Wu Man’s heart tightened at his words, she indeed did just that.
That Ah Kan... didn’t die under her hand long ago.
She was the one pushed out to take the blame.
This way, Uncle Wang Yang could also catch the culprit to close the case, while the missing official silver ended up in her and Uncle Wang Yang’s hands.
From Wu Man’s silence, Chen Kuang got the answer he wanted, unable to help but applaud them mockingly in his mind.
What a brilliant scheme!
Wu Man worried internally if Chen Kuang would make a fuss about her harming her kin, but unexpectedly, the White Dragon True Monarch skipped it, handled it lightly, not mentioning it anymore.
Chen Kuang turned to ask: "What was the original use for this official silver?"
The reason he asked this question was because earlier he found two seals in the silver box, which were not the stamps and signatures of the Yang Kingdom State Government Office, but from the Ministry of Revenue of the Court.
This meant the batch of official silver was distributed by the Yang Court.
Wu Man was taken aback and then softly said: "Disaster relief."
Chen Kuang frowned: "Disaster relief?"
Wu Man, having regained some physical strength, barely supported herself up with her snake tail, licked the blood on her dry lips, nodded, and said: "Correct."
She thought to herself, it seems this old monster really hasn’t come out for a long time... unaware of the recent events.
Wu Man explained: "Yong’an State, adjacent to Zangfeng State, since last month’s autumn began, it has been continuously raining heavily, causing the dam along the main stream of the largest river in the Yang Kingdom—the Yong’an River—to collapse, with floods spreading over hundreds of miles, affecting millions of mortals."
"The Yang Court only started disaster relief this month, these ten boxes of official silver... are the distributed relief silver."
Chen Kuang remained silent for a while, initially marveling at how there was too much official silver from a single box.
But knowing now that it’s disaster relief silver, his thoughts turned a complete one hundred and eighty degrees... isn’t this too much?
It’s simply outrageously insufficient!
A flood affecting millions, and only ten boxes of silver are distributed for disaster relief?
On the surface, the Yang Kingdom appears glorious... but seems more absurd than the Liang Kingdom.
He instinctively said: "Did cultivators not intervene?"
Wu Man exclaimed in surprise: "Intervene in what?"
Chen Kuang was at a loss for words.
Yes, how could he forget, in this world, cultivators are not Bodhisattvas saving the suffering, truly focusing on cultivating merit might be less than one in ten thousand, with more than half being bald donkeys far off in Pure Land.
Even Mystic God Daoist Sect doesn’t cultivate merit, but rather "morality."
Merit comes from without, morality from within.
His former family almost died thirteen years ago due to the Dongting Lake drought, did any cultivator intervene then?
After discovering it was the Demon Sword’s emergence, there was immediate action, proving that cultivators generally ignore natural disasters.
Chen Kuang remained silent, while Wu Man started to speculate on her own: "Senior means... could this flood be caused by a cultivator? This makes a bit of sense."
She was now doing her utmost to demonstrate her value to stay alive, revealing information she knew.
