Within Immortal Arrival City.
Lately, any Demon Hunting Team heading into the mountains would think twice, going fully armed and thoroughly prepared.
There was a simple reason for this: the mountains were now teeming with never-before-seen Demon Beasts of exceptional ferocity.
The familiar creatures that once dominated the area had either fled to distant lands or become fodder for these new arrivals.
It wasn't like the old days when staying out of the mountains meant starvation. Naturally, many Demon Hunting Teams began to have second thoughts.
One day, a rumor even started to circulate from Lanshan and his men, claiming that those Demon Beasts had all come from the other side of the mountain range.
The reason, they said, was that three major sects had ventured deep into the mountains to make a major move.
The Demon Hunting Teams immediately made up their minds: they would not set foot in the mountains again.
Lanshan had gotten lucky and befriended a Pill Master.
