The speed of the Shadow Clone was extrely fast. It blended into the shadows of the night, like flowing ink, shuttling through the darkness and catching up with the convoy of carriages in an instant.
At this mont, suppressed sobbing of children could be heard from inside the carriage, while the riders on the outside were laughing and talking loudly, their voices clearly reaching the perception of the Shadow Clone.
"Big Brother, that general is a person of the Heavenly Mandate. Is it really okay for us to blatantly take people back like this? Aren’t we going to cause trouble for the family?" A younger rider was evidently worried, asking in a low voice.
The leader of the riders, who had previously communicated with Cang Linzu, sighed deeply, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Who could have known? He suddenly appeared, what could we do?"
"But just seeing this incident itself is a problem. If we let the people go and return empty-handed, wouldn’t they still be suspicious? If the masters at ho ask, we’re still going to get scolded. Might as well just follow the original plan, take a batch of people back as ’materials’. At worst, just wait a few more days to use them, surely those young masters and misses can afford to wait."
"They really know how to play."
At this, another rider chuckled, his voice low, lecherous, and with a hint of mystery: "Not to ntion, the ’Feather Transformation Path’ developed by the Nature Master is truly sothing good! After transformation, many of the things we were tired of playing with beco interesting again and can even change forms back and forth, it’s really fascinating!"
"Isn’t it!"
Speaking of these topics, the other riders imdiately beca spirited, all chiming in: "Last ti I heard Second Young Master say that the Feather Transformation Path has so many ways to play! Body swapping, shared sensations, gender switching, one person playing multiple roles, physical transformation... tsk-tsk, you can turn a person into the form of a dog, or fuse humans and animals to create new life forms, it’s really profound and extensive!"
"Isn’t it! Although I don’t quite understand, I’ve heard from the family’s experts dedicated to studying this path that the Feather Transformation Path can also perform will fusion, will splitting, and will copying..." At this point, the leader of the riders smacked his lips, saying sowhat lantably: "It’s just that the servants the family raises are too obedient, without any fun. Even when they play roles, they’re too compliant, not stimulating at all."
"In the end, the Feather Transformation Path should make role-playing completely real, completely re-enacted. Those servants whose minds have been altered should truly believe that they are so sort of family miss or a wandering heroine, a Great Sect fairy, but the technology is still a bit lacking, limited by the person’s previous personality."
"Unfortunately, a soul played with for too long and altered too much can easily disperse. This isn’t good either; they go to waste too fast. You always need to have so new candidates, both for novelty and to spread the load. The masters are still rciful, though."
"Yes, yes." Others also agreed: "The developnt of the Feather Transformation Path by the Nature Master is truly a great blessing for this world!"
"I wonder when I’ll get a puppetry plaything of the Feather Transformation Path myself. I hear the experience is more enchanting than a True Person!"
"Sigh, you all just dwell on those base things! If I had such a puppet, I’d definitely study its inner structure day and night to advance my Martial Arts!"
"Get lost, you impotent fool! When you truly get a puppet with the Feather Transformation Path, you’ll be more eager than anyone else!"
The riders burst into crude laughter, their words uninhibited and undisguised.
Because there’s simply no need for disguise. In their world, these topics don’t even count as extre; rather, they’re considered the most normal everyday conversation.
In this world, no matter how great or novel a path of Dao may be, once it’s leaked and spread, it will inevitably be used by those with ulterior motives to satisfy their desires.
It’s human nature, just that so people, their desires and evil thoughts are so overwhelming that they drown out everything else. They don’t even ponder the essence of the Feather Transformation Path, which completely changes life forms; they only delight in its superficial appearance, showing how they’ve forsaken the Dao for skills, even falling into the Outer Path!
The riders didn’t bother to hide their words. Inside the carriage, the beautiful and intelligent young children being taken away all heard it.
They had been selected from countless refugees, with considerable insight and intelligence. Even though they had never heard of what the Feather Transformation Path was, from these filthy words, they understood that they were chosen not to be servants, but to be ’playthings’ even lower than servants, perhaps even... ’materials’ for playthings!
In such a situation, how could they not tremble with fear? How could they not weep aloud? Fear and despair are contagious; for a mont, the entire carriage convoy was filled with the children’s uncontrollable sobs.
And the riders paid no mind to this, rather, they all laughed heartily: "Cry, cry! Soon enough, you won’t be able to cry anymore! Once you beco Feather Transformation puppets, you will be happy forever, never feeling anything but bliss again in this lifeti, that’s real ecstasy!"
The leading rider even shouted with satisfaction: "I say, this is your great blessing! Originally, you were all just lowly people destined to starve to death. Being saved by the food we give you ans your lives belong to us."
"Moreover, we’re not taking your lives, we’re just letting you serve as playthings for the young masters and misses, which isn’t hard at all. Your souls will learn it all by themselves! Hahahaha!"
But, amidst this hysterical laughter.
Suddenly, the lead rider felt sothing was amiss.
He sensed an eerie, cold feeling appear at his back.
In the next mont, a cold, steel-like grip quietly pressed on his head.
"Spare, spare !"
At this instant, the clever rider leader imdiately realized what had happened. His body froze instantly, cold sweat soaking through his armor, and he scread in panic, "General Cang! General Cang, spare ! We all deeply respect the Lord of Heavenly Destiny! It was just coarse language, not deserving of death, not deserving of death!"
But, he completely misinterpreted the situation, he didn’t at all understand why this hand flooded with terrifying murderous intent had descended upon him.
"Evil Demons... Outer Path!"
From seamlessly transitioning from Shadow Clone to his true form, the voice squeezed out word by word through clenched teeth. At this mont, gripping the rider leader’s head firmly, Cang Linzu’s eyes glowed with unprecedented dark light, deep as the nether, dim as silence.
He gritted and said amidst imnse rage: "You group of... insulting the Eldest Senior’s path, treating people as livestock..."
"Damn it, die!"
As his words fell, his fingers abruptly clenched.
Instantly, under the horrified gaze of all surrounding riders, the leader’s head burst open like a crushed blood sac, exploding into a shower of blood and splintered bone!
