Translate what? You don’t even know this?
Hu Wei was extrely surprised.
But after thinking carefully, even though the other party was a high-level prosecutor, they were ultimately an outsider. It seed normal not to know about the local organization "Annihilation Association," given that the organization’s reputation wasn’t very good.
Mr. Hu quickly thought it through, but to be on the safe side, he still cautiously asked: "Director Xu, have you heard of our Penglai Wanfa?"
"I’ve had so close encounters." Xu Shu recalled the taste of the Snake Mother, speaking rather conservatively.
Hu Wei said, "Then do you know about living cultivators and dead cultivators?"
"I’ve heard a bit."
"That’s it! To be honest, in Penglai District, whether it’s the Judgent Departnt or the Supervision Bureau, the entire Astronomy Association here can only be considered secondary. The real authority belongs to..."
Hu Wei let out a sigh of relief, at least saving a lot of explanation, then looked around sneakily, pointing above his head.
Xu Shu raised his eyebrows: "Bai Yujing?"
"Director Xu, you’re sharp-eyed!"
Hu Wei complinted, lowering his voice and sighed: "Though the ways of living and dead cultivators both originate from Bai Yujing, they are not harmonious. Dead cultivators consider themselves orthodox, viewing living cultivators as heretical, contrary to heavenly principles, often suppressing them.
"Originally, it wasn’t too bad, but in recent years, certain living cultivators have been causing so not-so-pretty blood incidents. Gradually, so extrely hostile organizations towards living cultivators appeared, with the Annihilation Association being the most mysterious and powerful in recent years.
"The na itself gives it away, as they believe the existence of living cultivators defies heavenly and human laws, aiming to completely annihilate the lineage of living cultivators, often assassinating lone living cultivators with brutal ans and leaving this code at the site.
"Alas, the Judgent Departnt has always been vexed by this issue, having dismantled nurous such extre organizations. Yet, the people of the Annihilation Association act without pattern, appearing and disappearing like ghosts. This problem has been a persistent headache, a case that no one in the Judgent Departnt wants to handle because even after investigating, there’s often no follow-up, and it might backfire..."
Xu Shu stroked his chin: "Mr. Hu, you seem to be implying sothing. Are you suggesting that there’s a backing from Bai Yujing’s upper echelons behind the Annihilation Association?"
Hu Wei’s eyelids twitched as he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, Director Xu, don’t scare like that. I never said that."
"You didn’t say it, so it’s true then? Alright, I understand, and I guarantee not to spread it." "Thank you, Director Xu, for understanding your subordinates!" Hu Wei said.
"Ah, you’re welco, and thank you for enlightening ." Xu Shu patted his shoulder.
So that’s what it is, which explains why the young woman Zhang Qian was inexplicably murdered, and the scene turned into this ceremonious state.
Turns out I wasn’t overthinking; this is indeed how it is. Such organizations truly exist and are at work.
Because living cultivators are often caught committing cris, it leads to accumulated public resentnt and a backlash?
Xu Shu’s mind flashed to Xinglong Manor on the wasteland, where they refined "Elevation Pill," and thought of Zhang Zifeng, the "principal" who recently killed children to make dicine as his lifespan at Sunshine Primary School waned, letting out a sigh.
Indeed, just from these two cases, "living cultivators" are certainly annoying enough, and subsequent retaliation could only be described as a cycle of cause and effect.
"Living cultivation is risky, consuming one’s life count; a slight mistake leads to eternal damnation," as stated by the mysterious predecessor Uncle Yong, is indeed true.
However, is the behavior of the "Annihilation Association" justified?
Xu Shu did not think so.
He never believed in condemning everyone just because of the darkness in so corners.
Despite encountering several criminal cases involving living cultivators shortly after entering Penglai District, this doesn’t directly equate "living cultivators" with "murderers."
Living cultivation may lead one astray, but that doesn’t an every living cultivator deserves death.
Just as within the pathways of the Transcendent, there’s a route known as "criminal," where transcendents in this profession, influenced by Curse Seals, are more inclined than the average person to commit cris like murder.
All the "criminals" Xu Shu had encountered, regardless of rank, were pure criminals, treating human life as worthless. For instance, those guys in the White Emperor Army often massacred dozens or even hundreds of refugees in a refuge.
However, if a "criminal" were placed before him now, he still wouldn’t directly kill. He’d want to know who the person is, confirm the cri, ensure they aren’t innocent.
In such matters, there’s no concept of "better to kill mistakenly than let one slip."
Even if only one in ten "criminals" is innocent, all practitioners on this path shouldn’t be hard.
Unless, as the authorities, the Astronomy Association enacts laws to completely ban the "criminal" path, forbidding anyone from advancing to the Transcendent through this path, simultaneously recalling existing "criminals" and providing a thod to switch paths, enforcing strict militarized control in this manner.
Otherwise, without achieving this, no one has the right to engage in such "one-size-fits-all" actions.
Many official organizations have "criminals," and their ability, the "Furious People," is indeed useful, widely employed in so grassroots construction labor.
Additionally, the third phase of this path is called the "Prison Director," aid at punishing and rectifying evil.
Should these poor souls be decapitated? Should those "Prison Directors" who have spent their lives dispensing justice also be inexplicably dragged out and killed?
