The leader of the Five Penal Guards said nothing, and just asked his men to question the four True Lords of Yuanshen, including Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang had no need to conceal his identity. He cooperated honestly with the interrogator and reported his identity and origin.

This is not a secret, nor is there anything shameful about it.

When he heard that Meng Zhang was the head of the Taiyi Sect and was heading to the homeland of the Dali Dynasty to pay homage to Emperor Bawu, the leader couldn't help but take a second look at him.

He may not have heard of the name Taiyi Sect, but with a master at the Yuanshen stage, Taiyi Sect must be the Yuanshen sect.

If you are qualified to meet Emperor Bawu, you have some status.

Next, the attitude of the Fifth Punishment Guard who was responsible for interrogating Meng Zhang became much kinder.

After asking about the origins of the four True Lords of Yuanshen, the leader began to speak.

He calls himself Feng Baofeng and is the deputy commander of the Five Penal Guards.

Surrounding this place this time and trapping everyone here is also a last resort.

A few years ago, Wu Xingwei received news that a demonic cultivator was haunting the Hengjue Mountains.

Wu Xingwei sent a large team of troops to hunt down the demon cultivator.

It's just that the demonic cultivators are secretive, good at hiding, cunning and changeable, and have escaped their pursuit many times.

The reason why they surrounded this place was because they suspected that a demonic cultivator had infiltrated it, so they had to conduct a careful investigation.

There must be many inaccuracies in what Feng Baofeng said.

Demonic cultivators are public enemies in the world of cultivation, and everyone should kill them if they find them.

As long as the demonic cultivator dares to appear in public, the officials of the Dali Dynasty will definitely pursue him, at least on the surface, no matter what they think in their hearts.

The Fifth Punishment Guard traced the demon cultivator, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

However, Meng Zhang happened to have some understanding of the internal situation of the Dali Dynasty through the information he obtained in Tiangong.

Within the Dali Dynasty, there have always been demonic cultivators.

These demonic cultivators were not all enemies of the Dali Dynasty, and they even had some cooperation with the Dali Dynasty.

The secret demon lineage that the True Lord You Hongzhi of Sihai Trading Company invested in at the time was a special case.

The lineage of secret demons confuses the Dali Dynasty, and of course they will be completely strangled by the Dali Dynasty.

Other demon cultivators, as long as they do not violate the laws of the Dali Dynasty and do not cause trouble, can still find a living space within the Dali Dynasty.

Although everyone in the world of cultivation calls for beating up demonic cultivators, it is very common for big forces like the Dali Dynasty to secretly collude with demonic cultivators.

As long as it is not exposed openly and no one is caught with evidence, no one can use this to attack the Dali Dynasty.

Due to their practice of martial arts, demonic monks often have impulsive, murderous, cruel and bloodthirsty natures.

There are several examples of demonic cultivators who cannot control their own nature and cause trouble within the Dali Dynasty from time to time.

Such demonic cultivators were also targets of strangulation by the Dali Dynasty.

However, as far as Meng Zhang knows, within the Dali Dynasty, the Five Penal Guards are not a department that specializes in hunting down demon cultivators.

The duty of the Five Penal Guards is to maintain the laws and disciplines of the Dali Dynasty.

Unless a demon cultivator commits a major crime and violates the law, he will generally not be pursued by the Five Penal Guards.

Meng Zhang has always paid close attention to the situation in the Dali Dynasty, and often learned about what was happening in the Dali Dynasty through the communication stone tablet placed at Xiongshiling and reading the Di newspaper.

If there really was a demonic cultivator who committed a major crime in the Dali Dynasty and was pursued by the Five Penal Guards, then the newspaper would have mentioned it to some extent.

However, in the past few years, there was no news related to demon cultivators in the newspapers that Meng Zhang had read.

Of course, it is also possible that the Dali Dynasty officially blocked the news and prevented it from leaking out.

However, the Five Penalty Guards were mobilized in large numbers, and according to the deputy commander named Feng Baofeng, the Five Penalty Guards began hunting down demon cultivators several years ago.

It is simply impossible to keep such a matter a secret.

From the contradictions in the other party's words, Meng Zhang vaguely felt that Wu Xingwei's action this time was not simple, and he might have an ulterior motive.

Moreover, Meng Zhang himself also has a deep understanding of demonic cultivation.

Demonic cultivators have been able to exist in the world of cultivation for many years and have not become extinct despite being pursued by all major cultivation forces. Of course there are many reasons.

But a very important point is that the survivability of demon cultivators is very strong.

Many demon cultivators are good at hiding and have unique hiding methods.

If you don't practice special secret techniques or have special magic weapons, it will be difficult to identify the magic cultivators hidden among the crowd.

Meng Zhang did not notice that these five criminal guards had practiced special secret techniques, nor did he notice that they had used magic weapons to identify demon cultivators.

They use the same methods they use to deal with ordinary prisoners, trying to find out the hidden demon cultivators through interrogation. That is simply a joke.

With the reputation of Wu Xing Wei and Han Yao's reputation, Wu Xing Wei should not act so unwisely.

Meng Zhang felt that the interrogation conducted by the Wu Xing Guards was just a show.

In the name of investigating demon cultivators, they sealed this place, probably for other reasons.

I really didn't expect that I would get into trouble as soon as I stepped out.

At this time, Meng Zhang no longer had the leisurely thoughts he had before.

The deputy commander of the Fifth Punishment Guard, who called himself Feng Baofeng, did not let go of the four True Lords of Yuanshen present after the interrogation.

After he told the story of Wu Xingwei's actions to hunt down the demon cultivator, he stood there quietly and did not continue to speak.

Everyone still has this bit of patience, and the four True Lords of Yuanshen also remained silent, waiting for his reaction.

Since it was an official action by the Five Penal Guards to hunt down the demon cultivator, even if they were dissatisfied, they would have to hold it back and not break out easily.

After quite a while, all the dozens of monks who were surrounded were interrogated and no problem was found.

However, the Five Penal Guards did not give up. Instead, they continued to maintain the blockade here and detained all the monks in the blockade.

Meng Zhang had been paying attention to the movements of these five criminal guards and found that they had no intention of lifting the blockade.

Meng Zhang used his innate magical power to destroy all illusions and looked at all the monks present.

Except for the three Yuan Shen monks, he did not want to arouse the other party's alert and did not observe in depth. All the monks present, whether they were the detained monks or the five punishment guards, he had seen through the general details of the other party.

Among the monks present, there seemed to be no demonic cultivators.

Of course, since it was only a cursory glance, omissions must be inevitable.

Moreover, the methods of demonic cultivation are secretive, so maybe someone can hide from Meng Zhang's delusion-destroying eyes.

However, Meng Zhang still preferred that there should be no demonic cultivators among the monks present.

The reason is very simple. If there really is a demon cultivator here that can evade his induction, then his spiritual sense derived from the Tianji master will probably automatically warn him.
