If a few disciples went missing, then so be it. Cultivation was difficult to fight against the heavens, and fighting with others was a very normal thing. In the cultivation world, it was very common to die because one's skills were inferior, not to mention if they were mere outer sect disciples.
It was a big deal for inner sect disciples to go missing for no reason. No one could find them, dead or alive. After some investigation, they found out that the number of missing disciples recently was a little high, several times more than in previous years.
No matter how high or low their cultivation was, these disciples all had a common characteristic. It was as if they had evaporated from the world and could no longer be found.
The most important thing was that disciples from other sects had also gone missing. When all these strange things were linked together, this matter became unusual.
