As Jiang Yun entered the beast enclosure, the Blue Light Wolves, which had been eyeing him menacingly, sniffed the sachet he was wearing and immediately lost interest, returning to their lazy postures as before.
Jiang Yun ignored these Blue Light Wolves and walked directly to the beast cage, squatting down to examine it carefully for a moment, his expression turning grim.
Although he did not understand Cultivation, Jiang Yun had extremely rich experience when it came to understanding various Vicious Beasts and plants, even surpassing the most skilled hunters in Mang Mountain.
Originally, Jiang Yun thought that Lu Xiaoyu's cage for the wolf was not sturdy, allowing the Blue Light Wolf to bite through it and escape, but now seeing the iron cage and iron lock, he knew that this matter was probably not that simple.
Jiang Yun was no stranger to Blue Light Wolves; he had even captured them for research, so he was well aware that although Blue Light Wolves were incredibly vicious, their teeth were not as sharp as imagined, at least, they could absolutely not bite through an iron lock made of pure iron.
Moreover, the break in the iron lock was exceptionally smooth, with no tooth marks whatsoever, clearly cut by some kind of Sharp Weapon!
As low-level Vicious Beasts, Blue Light Wolves naturally would not know how to use Sharp Weapons, which made it easy for Jiang Yun to determine that the iron lock had been deliberately broken by a person.
This meant that someone had intentionally cut the iron lock, releasing the twenty-year-old Blue Light Wolf and letting it mix into the wolf pack.
The purpose of doing this was simply to make Lu Xiaoyu bear the blame for dereliction of duty and thus be punished.
Furthermore, to enter the beast enclosure, one must understand the Formation for entering the valley and wear a sachet; therefore, Jiang Yun could deduce that the person who cut the iron lock must also belong to Hundred Beast Peak.
There was even a very high possibility that it was the Outer Sect Disciple who handed the twenty-year-old Blue Light Wolf to Lu Xiaoyu!
Jiang Yun just couldn't understand why this person would go to such lengths to frame Lu Xiaoyu.
Jiang Yun couldn't help but look back at Lu Xiaoyu, who was standing outside the beast enclosure with a worried and anxious expression; he found it hard to believe that she, only twelve years old and naive, could have offended someone so soon after entering Wen Dao Sect?
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yun couldn't come up with an answer, so he decided to temporarily put the doubt aside and planned to ask Lu Xiaoyu directly later; for now, the most urgent task was naturally to find that twenty-year-old Blue Light Wolf.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun finally stood up and walked towards the Blue Light Wolf closest to him.
This Blue Light Wolf was about two meters long, sprawled lazily on the ground with its eyes slightly narrowed, oblivious to Jiang Yun's approach until Jiang Yun suddenly reached out and touched its body.
This scene made Lu Xiaoyu's face suddenly change, her mouth wide open, almost letting out a scream; fortunately, she reacted quickly and immediately covered her mouth with her hand, preventing the sound, but her face was full of panic and worry.
She had clearly told Jiang Yun not to have physical contact with the Blue Light Wolves, but why didn't Jiang Yun listen? If he were really bitten or even killed by a Blue Light Wolf, wouldn't she have harmed this Senior Brother!
Although anxious, without a sachet, Lu Xiaoyu dared not enter the beast enclosure and could only stand outside, watching nervously.
As Jiang Yun's hand touched the Blue Light Wolf's body, its nostrils flared, its eyes suddenly opened, two fierce lights shot out, and its large head sharply turned, opening its bloody maw and viciously biting towards Jiang Yun's hand!
However, at this moment, Jiang Yun muttered something under his breath and simultaneously glared fiercely!
At the same time, the hundreds of scars on his body, hidden by his clothes, subtly trembled once again.
"Woof!"
Something strange happened!
This Blue Light Wolf, which had been ready to attack Jiang Yun, involuntarily shivered under Jiang Yun's glare at this moment; not only did the fierce light in its eyes instantly recede, but its open mouth also quickly closed, changing to emit a fawning whimper, allowing Jiang Yun's hand to rest on its body.
Even the other twenty Blue Light Wolves around them involuntarily curled up their bodies, trembling, not daring to look at Jiang Yun.
It is well known that after living in a specific environment for a long time, everyone will gradually develop various special Qi.
For example, warriors who have survived countless battles, or butchers among Mortals, will have strong Killing Intent and fierce Qi on their bodies.
During his sixteen years in Mang Mountain, Jiang Yun had killed countless Vicious Beasts, and over time, a bloody Qi that Vicious Beasts greatly feared had developed on his body.
Most humans might not be able to sense this Qi, but Vicious Beasts are extremely sensitive to it.
And in Mang Mountain, because this Qi was too strong and would make Vicious Beasts sense it and avoid him from afar, Jiang Wanli taught Jiang Yun a small incantation; by silently reciting it, he could restrain this Qi.
This was also why Jiang Yun did not need a sachet.
Now, as Jiang Yun released this Qi, it immediately poured out like a monstrous flood, overwhelming the scent of the sachet and instantly filling the entire beast enclosure.
These twenty-one Blue Light Wolves, unable to withstand such terrifying bloody Qi, naturally curled up obediently, not daring to move.
Next, Jiang Yun began to touch the bodies of these Blue Light Wolves one by one with his hand.
Animals, including humans, have bones that gradually change as they age.
As a Medicinal Pill refiner, there are extremely strict requirements for the age of Materials when refining certain Medicinal Pills.
The age of plants can be determined by seeing, smelling, tasting, and other methods, but the age of Vicious Beast bones cannot be determined by these methods unless the Vicious Beast is killed and the bones are removed, which would be too troublesome.
Moreover, sometimes only some hair from a Vicious Beast is needed, and there is no need to kill it at all; therefore, over time, Jiang Yun developed a special skill—bone touching!
Through bone touching, he could clearly determine the age of various Vicious Beasts.
In just a moment, Jiang Yun found the twenty-year-old Blue Light Wolf, gently patted its head, pointed to the broken beast cage, and the Blue Light Wolf obediently walked into the cage itself.
When Jiang Yun walked out of the beast enclosure carrying the beast cage, Lu Xiaoyu immediately ran up to him with an excited and incredulous expression and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, I was so scared just now! I thought those Blue Light Wolves were going to eat you! Thankfully you're okay, but Senior Brother, how did you do it? It looked like those Blue Light Wolves were really afraid of you!"
"This is all thanks to the sachet you gave me, here, take it back!" Jiang Yun casually brushed her off, smiling as he handed the sachet back to Lu Xiaoyu.
Watching Lu Xiaoyu put away the sachet, Jiang Yun pondered for a moment before asking, "Have you offended anyone in this Wen Dao Sect?"
"Offended someone?" Lu Xiaoyu was clearly taken aback by the question; it took her a long time to shake her head and say, "After I entered Wen Dao Sect, I was assigned here to raise Blue Light Wolves. Every day, besides Cultivating, I deal with them. I haven't even seen many people, so how could I offend anyone? Senior Brother Jiang, why do you ask?"
Jiang Yun could tell that Lu Xiaoyu was telling the truth, and after hesitating, he decided not to tell her the truth to avoid worrying her, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, just asking! We are new Disciples after all, unfamiliar with the place. It's better to be careful in what we do, so we don't accidentally do something wrong and offend someone, that would be troublesome."
"En en!" Lu Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, "My grandfather also told me the same thing, to Cultivate honestly here and not worry about other things. Senior Brother Jiang, don't worry, I won't go provoking anyone!"
Jiang Yun smiled and said, "That's good! Alright, now that this wolf has been found, you have nothing to worry about. I'll be leaving now. If you encounter any more trouble, you can always come to Hidden Peak to find me!"
Although Jiang Yun knew that someone was definitely framing Lu Xiaoyu, as a Utility Disciple, he had no way to help her and could only hope she would be more careful herself.
Lu Xiaoyu quickly nodded at Jiang Yun, saying, "Okay, Senior Brother Jiang, thank you so much this time! If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have known what to do! I'll see you out of the valley!"
After leaving the mountain valley, Jiang Yun waved to Lu Xiaoyu and turned to walk towards the Scripture Pavilion.
However, just as he took a step, he suddenly stopped, abruptly turned his head, and saw a short, stout man in gray clothes hastily shifting his gaze from Jiang Yun and quickly darting into the mountain valley.
