“That’s right! The Blood Poison sect is a poison expert,” Steve smiled happily, and he appeared smug.
Even though it was dark in the corridor at that time, Caspian could tell Steve’s smile was blooming brightly.
“A carrot-and-stick approach… You don’t understand this principle, right?” Steve seemed to have had enough rest, and he grabbed Caspian and Charlotte, walking into the corridor.
Then, he added, “We’ll give those obedient officials or members of the royal family money or beautiful maids.
As for those who were disobedient, we would directly poison them to make them compliant.
If you haven‘t seen those mortals, you can’t imagine how afraid of death they are.
”
“You even poisoned the obedient ones, right?” Caspian mocked.
Steve paused for a moment, and Caspian felt the other person’s expression stiffen.
However, Steve just scoffed and ignored Caspian, and continued walking forward.
Then, Steve snorted.
“That’s how the Blood Poison Sect does things.
The century-old foundation is destroyed, but there are still some bases that have not been taken away by those godd*mn guys.”
Steve naturally referred to those sects that wiped out the Blood Poison Sect.
Caspian continued to deduce that the previous what happened here, and he resumed, “After you controlled those officials, you used them to seal the nearby mountains and send people over nonstop.
Then, when the number of people was almost enough, you sacrificed them and set up a formation.”
“Of course!” As he spoke, Steve grabbed Caspian and Charlotte and walked out of the corridor.
What appeared in front of Caspian was a cave with smooth walls.
The cave was not small, and it could accommodate more than 600 people.
However, most places were empty.
Steve glanced at Caspian, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
“I didn’t expect you to know much about mortal things.”
Caspian sneered.
No matter how small Salleria was, it was still a big territory.
As a prince, what type of scene did Caspian not see before?
Nonetheless, Steve did not know Caspian’s identity and experience.
As he felt that he was already winning, Steve continued, “The process of sealing the mountains was much more straightforward.
By simply using the excuse that the prince or someone from the royal family wanted to hunt in the mountains, the area can be closed for dozens of days.
Besides, this is not the territory of the six major sects.
As the owner of Earlington of Efrax, the royal family still has this power here.
As for the 800 people used for the sacrifice, guess where they came from?”
Steve smiled at Caspian.
It was not a small feat to send 800 people into the mountain and sacrifice them.
Hence, even if they wanted to hide the matter from mortals, it would not be so easy.
Steve did not intend to beat around the bushes, and he admitted, “We hid the living people in the belly of beasts, and those beasts.
Those beasts were naturally put into the mountains first for the hunting of princes and nobles.
As such, no one doubted anything.”
