Chapter 487: Chapter 484 Human Sacrifice Breeding Farm

Wang Yuan held Huang Wu’s delicate hand as they stepped into the Yin Yang Gap, and so, openly and brazenly, they arrived at the village entrance where villagers were gradually gathering.

As they looked at the group of so-called "Old Evils," they couldn’t help but feel uncertain.

"Thirty-five years old? Old Evils?

These people don’t look old or harmful at all!"

The group of about a dozen men and women, most with flesh on their cheeks and rosy complexions, even wore clothes made of soft silk fabrics.

It was evident that they had been living comfortably.

Glancing around, the remaining villagers at the door were all young people.

The proportion of children within was exceptionally high, indicating a very young population demographic in the village.

Even in this era, where Red County Shenzhou boasted the longest life expectancy, the average lifespan of the people still didn’t reach forty years.

But this group in front of them seemed to have no connection to the terms "old" or "Harmful" at all.

The two did not intervene, but stood aside and watched quietly.

Before long, the so-called envoy arrived at the village entrance with a long procession.

They were four Sect Mages from the Qingtian Righteous Law Path.

Their aura felt sticky and cold like insects, and they all carried insect-filled Poison Boxes on their backs, the constant whispering of which was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

The leading Red Seal Mage waved to the orderly row of "Old Evils":

"Blessed by Qingtian, your descendants may live safely and prosperously on this land generation after generation.

And you, also need to fulfill the covenant between your ancestors and the Gods, to take up your final duty.

We need to reach the nearest main city, Shihe City, before the first day of the New Year, so fall in line, everybody!"

Wang Yuan exchanged a glance with Huang Wu, and they both saw a hint of realization in each other’s eyes.

Silently, they mouthed the words to each other:

"Elder Care Pavilion!"

They had encountered countless "weird" and "Strange Immortals."

Without exception, to these strange beings, mortals have only one value—Human Sacrifice, Blood Meal!

Taking away a specific group of people had an obvious outcome.

The term "Old Evils" immediately made the siblings think of the Owl God Tomb that had almost ensnared them all!

The Owl God Tomb had been on Beimang Mountain for two hundred years.

In the eight counties near Mang Mountain, elders over seventy were sent by their clansmen to Elder Care Pavilion to await death.

Actually, they were offered to the terrifying weirdness of the Owl God Tomb to be eaten from a distance.

But it was even more ruthless here.

To be eaten by weirdness at just thirty-five years old, and the scope included millions from a whole nation.

How many people must be eaten alive each year?

What made the siblings frown further was that they thought these "Old Evils," in the prime of their lives, would not submit meekly.

Unexpectedly, they seemed to have been well aware of what they would face and had sufficient time to prepare mentally, almost all resigned to their fate.

There was no willingness to resist; all walked obediently into the ranks.

The satisfied Red Seal Mage nodded his head and encouraged the remaining teenagers in the village:

"By decree of the Flower Hairpin Lady, on the fifth day of the second month of next year, the ’Jingzhe Immortal Trial’ will continue to be open to all citizens.

Those who can survive seven days in the Poison Box of Shihe City will be admitted to our Qingtian Righteous Law Path, and no longer be bound by the age limit of thirty-five.

Even longevity is not a dream."

The remaining youths in the village bowed to the ground, their faces full of gratitude:

"Thank you, Immortal Envoy for the guidance, may Qingtian bless us, and may the Lady enjoy eternal fortune!"

The two observers did not continue to watch.

"I seem to have some understanding of why Yellow Dragon Sage chose to target Langqiong Six Shaos and Qingtian Righteous Law Path."

Somber-faced, Wang Yuan and Huang Wu shook their heads, already soaring high into the sky, continuing to delve deep into the belly of Langqiong Six Shaos to the south.

Naturally, along the way, they saw many long columns of people gathering from villages to the nearest main city; all were, of course, "Old Evils."

Flutter...

The Calamity Butterfly perched on Huang Wu’s temple tenderly fluttered its wings, connecting her to the collective dream realm of the people here.

It also presented their doubts on the Taiyin Treasure Mirror.

As scenes flashed by, they gradually gleaned fragments of this Deceit Country, darkening their expressions even further.

They couldn’t help exclaiming in unison:

"Qingtian Righteous Law Path is indeed the foremost harm among the sects!"

The "Langqiong Six Shaos," located in the midst of a vast expanse of mountains, is also known as Nanshao, Jiang Domain.

It is composed of six parts: the Menggui Order, the Yuexi Order, the Langqiong Order, the Tengdan Order, the Shilang Order, and the Mengshe Order.

Apart from a small number of Yan Han immigrants scattered throughout the three territories of the northern Nanshao, the main ethnic group is called the Ailao Barbarian, which is further divided into the Black Barbarians and White Barbarians.

The two "Green Seal Strange Immortals," Flower Hairpin Lady and Child Rejuvenation Immortal, were born respectively from the Black Barbarians and White Barbarians.

This land enjoys a warm and humid climate with small annual temperature fluctuations and large daily temperature fluctuations, which is very suitable for the growth of crops.

The production of grains, vegetables, and fruits is stable and of very high quality.

In comparison, the same land in the Great Yan Realm produces far less than here.

Even without cultivating grains, by merely foraging for fruits and vegetables in the mountains, they could fully meet the needs of most of the domestic population.

This also allowed the Qingtian Righteous Law Path to implement on the surface what was called "Qingtian Governance," but in reality was known as the "Human Breeding Pens" approach to governance!

The core of it is the so-called "Old Evil."

The mortals living here were brainwashed by the Weird and Strange Immortals day after day for hundreds of years, just like the peasants of Beimang Mountain in the past.

Once a person exceeds thirty-five years of age, their physical strength gradually begins to decline from its peak during labor, and they bring less income to their family, they will be referred to by others as "Old Evil."

According to consistent customs and traditions, those teenagers show no mercy to these Old Evils.

They believe they are occupying the young people’s places, gradually becoming parasites that are supported by the young, a burden on "Qingtian Governance"!

They should naturally be eliminated, leaving various resources and opportunities to the younger generation.

Huang Wu recited the core rules of "Qingtian Governance" word by word:

"Everyone works a maximum of four ’Two Hours’ a day, internal competition is strictly forbidden, as is exploitation by the rulers, the harvest is one’s own, and everyone can eat and drink their fill.

The price is that before the age of thirty-five, a couple must have six children.

When one turns thirty-five, they are automatically eliminated and eaten by the Strange Immortals, giving their place to younger and more vigorous individuals.

There is no hierarchy, no aristocracy other than the Qingtian Righteous Law Path, no need to respect the tribal elders, everyone is absolutely equal."

"Most people outside the mountains suffer from famine, and many refer to themselves as ’old’ at thirty.

Even in the years when demons roamed freely, more people did not live to see thirty.

The people here were probably quite resigned to their fate; if they could live safely to thirty-five, what could they be dissatisfied with?

Moreover,

They emulated Great Yan’s civil service exam system to select cultivators, allowing each person set for sacrifice the chance to leap out of the dinner plate, which again alleviated some of the resistance spirit.

Even if we, the "Nine Soldiers," came here to call the people to rebel, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be much soil for resistance organizations to survive!"

Seeing Huang Wu’s increasingly distant eyes, Wang Yuan added in a cold voice:

"Clearly, a mastermind formulated this governing strategy.

The Ailao Barbarians living in Langqiong’s six territories do not have a script of their own, speak different dialects every ten miles and have different customs every hundred miles.

This makes it difficult for them to communicate with each other, let alone unite.

Although they are called six territories, in reality, they are just six separate breeding pens, each territory further divided into countless small segments.

A mountain ridge might represent a barrier that their ancestors could never cross.

Moreover, before the age of thirty-five, they enjoy a comfortable and bountiful life that is not at all tiring, which has stripped them of any will to struggle."

At this point, Wang Yuan was reminded of a story from his past life about an alien visitor preparing to rule humanity.

The rules were as follows:

You will work eight hours a day from now on, only be provided with three meals and snacks a day, and milk will only be available in the morning. You get an hour’s rest at noon.

You will receive a bonus three times a year and have a two-month annual leave. The cruelest thing is, your wage only increases once every four months!

Overtime is only paid at triple the rate, and after work, you are forced to exercise for an hour!

You will die exhausted!

Who could bear such "slavery"?

To the people of this era, the governing model of Langqiong’s six territories is not much different from that of the alien visitor.

For a moment, Wang Yuan and Huang Wu both fell silent.

Originally,

Whether it was the bloody Living People Tax and Dead Man Tax of the Five Naiman Territories or the false sense of satiation and equality in the original "Taoyuan Mysterious Country," both were fighting against human nature.

Once there was a chance to rebel, the governed would unleash a tsunami-like force of opposition.

The philosophy of the "Langqiong six territories," on the other hand, was completely different. If they were willing to push back the time by another five years, making it forty years old before being eaten,

There might not even be a trace of resistance within the whole country.

"Practice reveals true knowledge. Each Deceit Country established by the Sect has adopted a different governance structure.

The Qingtian Righteous Law Path is undoubtedly the one that understands humanity the best.

If the Qingtian Righteous Law Path were to break through the southern gate and replicate this ’Human Breeding Pens’ model throughout Red County Shenzhou, that would be a real cause for alarm.

Even if the ’Nine Soldiers’ were to destroy this order, those bred citizens might turn and fight desperately against the ’Nine Soldiers,’ right?"
