"There's one more thing I need to remind you of; when you are expelling the spiritual beasts, you mustn't be lethal. Some of them have grown naturally and wander within the sect. For these, no one will hold you accountable if you kill them. However, some may be raised by other cultivators. If you kill this latter group, you could face a hefty claim for damages. Of course, your task wouldn't be considered successfully completed either."
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior. Jiang Cheng understands."
"Hmm, good, as long as you know the measure, we'll get in touch about other matters later."
After Elder Yang left, only Jiang Cheng and Liu Qing remained.
Jiang Cheng didn't rush to drive away the spiritual beasts in the valley. The first thing he did was to survey the terrain to decide from which direction to start and where to herd the beasts from and to.
