Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 249 - 212: No One Understands Spirit Beasts Better Than I Do

Fifteen minutes later, Su Yuan, along with his angel investors, grandly arrived at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

At this time, a vibrant cordon had already been set up outside the factory.

One by one, the Demons emitting sinister Demonic Qi under the Demon-Revealing Wisdom Eye were escorted onto the Flying Ship by the Law Enforcement Bureau officers.

First, Su Yuan inquired on his phone, confirming that going over wouldn't interfere with any ongoing investigations, then he approached with his group.

Crossing the cordon, Su Yuan greeted some acquaintances from the Law Enforcement Bureau.

Before he could inquire about the situation, Xi Yu, with a white tiger in her arms, furrowed her brows behind him.

The young girl raised her bright eyes, staring at the dark void behind the factory gate, carefully sensing something.

Soon, her expression changed from confusion to anger.

"Inside the factory... it seems there are many Spirit Beasts, they are very miserable, suffering from various cruel and inhumane tortures."

The girl mumbled to herself, and suddenly darted out from the crowd towards the inside of the factory.

Seeing this, the Law Enforcement Bureau officers did not stop her.

But Su Yuan didn't want Xi Yu, an animal rights advocate, to cause any trouble.

After speaking briefly with Chen Nuoyi, he hurriedly followed her inside.

Passing through the superficial disguise on the factory's exterior, Su Yuan followed in the footsteps of Xi Yu and Law Enforcement Bureau members to the first underground layer of the factory.

As soon as they entered, an indescribable stench invaded Su Yuan's nose.

In front of them were layers upon layers of cages filling the vast first underground layer of the factory.

The Spirit Beasts inside the cages varied in size, and the types were predominantly the most popular Spirit Pets at the time.

Such as cats, dogs, foxes, Spiritual Cranes, and other furry or Immortal Energy-emitting Spirit Beasts.

These Spirit Beast cages were extraordinarily cramped, and even turning around was difficult for the Spirit Beasts.

As for eating and defecating, all were done within these confined cages.

Especially for those cages stacked at the bottom, whenever Spirit Beasts above relieved themselves, some would leak down, covering the Spirit Beasts inside in foul odor.

This was the source of the stench in the first underground layer.

Truly a fraudulent zone in the Spirit Beast Realm. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Xi Yu stood at the aisle entrance, staring dazedly at the tragic plight of the Spirit Beasts, saying nothing for a long time.

After a while, she asked the person beside her:

"Su... Su Yuan, why would the Demon Sect do this..."

Su Yuan answered without hesitation:

"Of course, it's to reduce costs and increase efficiency."

"As people's lives get better, most homes have a need to own Spirit Pets."

"To select the Spirit Pet they desire, many Cultivators spend significant amounts of money to purchase them."

"This, to some people, presents a huge business opportunity."

"Spirit Beasts are not like the common pets of the past that would die easily; no matter how small a space they're confined in, or how poor the food is, they can survive tenaciously."

"Pet TV relies on this extreme cost compression strategy to mass produce batches of Spirit Pets."

"Once the Spirit Pets are successfully cultivated, they clean them thoroughly, film various cute pet videos, and then sell the Spirit Beasts through well-packaged animal shelters."

"Even though their Spirit Beast prices are about a third cheaper than regular shelters, by relying on extreme cost control, they can still make a 300% profit."

Xi Yu listened silently to the end, her voice dry as she said:

"Can't other animal shelters notice?"

"They do, which is why they source from Pet TV."

Su Yuan replied indifferently:

"The founder of Pet TV did have a farsighted vision; don't judge the Spirit Beasts' poor living conditions, their bloodlines are pure."

"Moreover, after the Spirit Beasts have undergone rigorous Pet TV training, to avoid returning to this Black Factory, they are basically obedient to their new owners, giving Pet TV a good reputation in the cute pet circle."

Xi Yu glanced at the dejected Pet TV employees being escorted away, gritting her teeth:

"Su Yuan, though you are a Demon, it seems Demons do some good after all, thank you!"

Su Yuan: "..."

So in your eyes, I should uphold the Demon Dao till the end, huh.

Then suddenly Xi Yu asked expectantly:

"By the way, Su Yuan, how long will Pet TV's Demons be confined? Death penalty or life sentence?"

Su Yuan: "..."

Animal rights advocates are just too extreme.

"You're overthinking it. Animal cruelty isn't illegal; they're guilty of two charges."

"One is letting Spirit Beasts that failed quarantine enter the market, and two, false advertising, so they'll be out in two or three years."

Su Yuan patiently explained.

Xi Yu suddenly became furious:

"Are Spirit Beasts lives not lives!"

"No way, I can't let these people off so easily; I'll post them on Little Sweet Potato!"

Saying this, Xi Yu whipped out her phone on the spot to take various photos, capturing the miserable state of the Spirit Beasts and the faces of several criminals present, and posted them all.

After posting, she still felt unsatisfied, ready to go back and photograph all the already arrested criminals.

But before she could leave, Su Yuan grabbed her:

"Wait a minute, something seems off."

Xi Yu slightly dazed, quickly asked:

"What's wrong?"

Su Yuan's eyes flashed, his Demon-Revealing Wisdom Eye operating at its peak.

And in his vision, aside from the already present sinister Demonic Qi, another surge of Demonic Qi rose from below.

This surprised Su Yuan:

"Besides the first underground layer, there's actually a second underground layer."

"Was it because the second layer has no intelligent equipment, so the Ten Thousand Souls Banner didn't detect it?"
