"Where is he? Where is the demon?" the chief asked, even though he knew no one here would know the answer to his questions. They waited for a while, but neither the snake nor their Inikaka returned at all.
After a few minutes, the chief started sending the injured people back to the village. Due to being both body and Qi cultivators, these people would need at most a month of rest to be fully back to their regular self.
An hour after that, the chief sent the elderly back.
An hour after that, the chief sent anyone willing back.
At the end of the day, there were only 4 people that remained on the beach, with Hyesi being one of them.
Even then, Ning never returned. Reluctantly, the group went back to the village. Over the next couple of days, they lived in fear of the demon returning, however, no such thing happened.
By the end of the week, they were almost certain the demon was gone.
