725: Chapter 482 725: Chapter 482 “Yes,”
General Maria ordered the few people beside her to bring the children from inside those boxes.
She herself sat down on a nearby chair.
The queen had someone bring a basin of beef and wine.
The beef was raw, bloody meat, and General Maria ate it raw, grabbing it with her hands, not even using a knife or fork.
As she ate the beef, two of her teeth grew into fangs, resembling those of a wolf, her face also changed.
The previously beautiful face transformed into that of a wolf.
The queen, who was veiled previously, had a noble bearing.
When she offered the beef to Maria, she also ate the raw beef and drank wine.
When she did, her veil opened, revealing a stunning face.
As she ate the beef, her face turned into that of a fox.
Jiang Tang…
impersonating his Saint Sect, rounded up these boys and girls.
What exactly were they planning to do?
Was this Beauty and the Beasts?
The kingdom within the city, those cultivated Curse Spells, could they be techniques practiced by Beauty and the Beasts?
What were they going to do with these boys and girls?
Beauty and the Beasts, would they really be so charitable as to raise them?
Jiang Tang suspected that these people definitely planned to eat these children or use them for some sinister purposes.
By abusing his name for evil, originally he had to deal with them, and now there was even more reason to do so.
Those degenerate Beauty and the Beasts must receive his punishment!
Having made up his mind, Jiang Tang had Hua Xian’er administer medicine to the children to eat, letting these beauties cook delicious food for the children.
He watched by the side while still keeping his Divine Sense aware of the palace’s movements, as well as those of the submarine and the city.
When the boxes from the submarine were opened, the guards who had been ordered to bring the children into the palace discovered that every box was empty.
The boxes were closed.
Why were the children gone?
Feeling it was very strange, they searched within the submarine, feeling that if the children weren’t rescued by a Capable Being, they wouldn’t have gone far and might still be inside the submarine.
They had only been inside the palace for a short period, having checked each box and seen each child before going in with the general to assure they were still alive.
The children disappeared in such a short time; there must have been an external enemy.
The guards, in a panic, spoke some words.
The submarine hadn’t left.
They hurried into the city and ordered the female soldiers guarding it to search every corner of the city for any strangers who might have come in.
The outside was the sea, and they hadn’t noticed any followers on their way.
Why had the children vanished?
Could it be a coincidence that someone passed by and rescued them?
Not daring to delay, the guards returned to the palace and reported to the king and General Maria.
“What, the boys and girls are missing?” General Maria was also struck by surprise and confusion at this news.
“General Maria, what on earth is going on?”
The queen was also anxious.
They had traveled far to Ancient Xia Country, taking them two full months to find those 30 children and bring them back.
They were her resources for cultivation, her supplements.
Without them, how could she advance her cultivation?
Her abilities, appearance, and longevity all depended on cultivating these boys and girls.
“King, I will go out and search right now.
Before we came in, I saw that the people were still there.
It must be that some powerful person discovered them.”
“General Maria, if our city is in danger, as you suggest, and the children were rescued, then our city will face danger!”
“King, should we activate the Curse and make the city enter the Illusion Realm?
That way, outsiders won’t be able to see it!”
The king nodded and said, “Today is the only day in two months that the city is visible to outsiders so that the submarine could find the city and you could return.
After today, the city will disappear from sight automatically.”
“Queen, then I must search quickly.
We must leave on the submarine within the day, or we’ll be trapped here!”
The queen nodded.
She had thought that with these boys and girls, she could ascend to an even higher state of cultivation.
Her Curse could then alter this city so that it wouldn’t just appear one day every two months.
If the search for resources wouldn’t be so difficult and her abilities improved, she naturally wouldn’t fear outsiders.
Now, she was worried that an external enemy really had come in, and the city wouldn’t be able to disappear amidst the Curse, leaving her no choice but to wait anxiously for tomorrow.
The king and General Maria never even considered that their conversation had already been overheard.
They thought that the city within the magical treasure was very safe and had no idea that if a powerful being from the Cultivation World appeared here, their abilities would not be able to resist at all.
They also thought their curse spells were quite formidable.
Jiang Tang wondered, if they didn’t practice the cultivation techniques of the Cultivation World, how could they detect the spiritual roots of young boys and girls?
And how could they possibly impersonate the Saint Sect in recruiting disciples?
After all, when people from the Saint Sect went out to perform duties and recruit disciples, they were all duty performers who could fly.
For a while, Jiang Tang still wasn’t clear on how those who knew the Curse Spell could pull off being impostors.
Then he discovered that those guards were actually flying within the city inside the magical treasure, mumbling words as they flew.
Jiang Tang …, these beautiful beasts, could it be that the Curse Spell they cultivated allowed them to fly?
Could a curse enable flying?
It’s unlike the low-capable beings in the Cultivation World who rely on flying artifacts for flight, allowing someone like him, a high-capable being, to use either a flying artifact or his own abilities to fly.
There was only one thing he hadn’t managed to do yet, and that was learning the cultivation technique of tearing through space.
Jiang Tang didn’t use a flying artifact to enter the city, nor did his body enter the city; he simply used his Divine Sense to explore the path.
How could the searching guards ever find a powerful being from the Cultivation World like him?
Unable to find any strangers, they failed to detect any anomalies.
The guards, having searched to no avail, could only return to the palace to report to the King and General Maria.
“This is bad, we’ve encountered a strong individual!” The words of General Maria caused the King to frown deeply, looking very troubled!
“Activate the Curse Spell, we must have the children who were let out found, and we have to catch this scoundrel.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Jiang Tang …, who’s calling whom a scoundrel?
The King and General Maria, at this moment, took out something that looked like a hairpin from their pockets.
Then, as they muttered words, the hairpin glowed and displayed images.
Jiang Tang …, wasn’t this the same hairpin that he wrapped around the children in a ring of light?
At that time he hadn’t appeared in the submarine; these people’s curse spells, this hairpin was not simple.
So they had so many magical treasures; no wonder they were impersonating the Saint Sect, to go and recruit disciples, habitual offenders using such methods.
Jiang Tang did not break their curse, preferring to see what tricks they would play.
The images didn’t show how the ring of light entered a certain place.
Naturally, it was the automatic defense feature of the flying artifact keeping out all factors.
The King and General Maria chanted their curse, only to see the children being lifted out of the boxes, then wrapped in rings of light within the boxes.
These rings of light could fly, and they then entered a place unknown.
Their curse allowed them to see no more of the children’s whereabouts, aware only that the children were alive and not far from this place, searching the marine setting for dozens of miles around the city and seeing no boats.
Jiang Tang’s flying artifact was located dozens of miles away from the Magical Treasure City, beyond the reach of the opposing side’s curse to detect his magical treasure.
“Strange, they’re clearly alive and not far away, so why can’t we find these children?” General Maria voiced her confusion.
“Expand the search further, we must find these children,” commanded the King to Maria.
General Maria nodded, continuing to search the vicinity dozens of miles away.
Jiang Tang could hear their spoken words, which were not in the language of Ancient Xia Country; as a person from Ancient Xia Country, he shouldn’t have been able to understand their bird language.
But Jiang Tang was actually a soul that had transmigrated; he had learned some foreign languages and could basically understand and speak them, so he comprehended what the two were saying.
With their use of a curse spell to search dozens of miles away, he then took his flying artifact and flew it out beyond a hundred miles to the bottom of the sea.
