The Soul-refining Blood Banner sealed the city as the overwhelming Demon Sword swept through.
Li Mountain City had become ruins.
The intricate carvings and paintings of yesterday were now reduced to rubble and broken walls, and the once splendid opulence was left in disarray.
Big White was pulling the cart, walking ahead.
Mo Hua and Junior Brother, Junior Sister, and Aunt Xue followed behind, accompanying the large group of cultivators from the Five Elements Sect as they left the sect's territory, exited the Mountain Protection Array, and entered the desolate Li Mountain City.
Seeing the surroundings, Mo Hua realized that Li Mountain City had long been an empty shell, with many of its resident merchants actually being concealed Demon Cultivators.
True cultivators were few and far between.
And when disaster struck, most of these cultivators either died, got injured, or fled.
The merchant cultivators were not locals.
They came for profit, and left when there was none.
