"Over a month ago, reports began to surface of people disappearing in the mountains. When someone came to report it to the Yamen, I initially thought it was merely the work of some Fierce Beast, so I dispatched a few men to investigate." Chang Cai continued, "It was only after those Government Officials sent to investigate the situation also went missing that I realized something was seriously wrong. However, without being completely certain it was the work of Demon Evils, I specifically recruited a few Jianghu experts to accompany a larger group of Government Officials into the mountains, hoping to uncover the truth. But—"
At this point, an uncontrollable trace of fear appeared on Chang Cai's greasy face.
"Everyone who entered the mountains vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind. That's when I became certain that Demon Evils were present in the mountains. Otherwise, mere Fierce Beasts could never have caused so many people to disappear like that."
