Jiang Tang made another discovery: the children had vacant stares, just like the people outside, with no signs of life in their eyes – they looked like wooden figures!
He conjectured that they must have been cursed, their soul force drained away, which turned them into dazed, puppet-like beings.
How young these children were to be treated so cruelly.
Jiang Tang decided he would take these children in and treat them.
For him, it was no difficult task to rescue the unsuspecting people, and he needed to search the city for more children like these or perhaps slightly older ones.
He even wanted to know if, aside from the city treasure, they had hidden people elsewhere.
Using these children for cultivation, siphoning their soul power - was it to make them commit evil deeds, or to turn them into tools under their control?
