East State, within the Mortal Realm.
After crushing the Destiny Kirin, Yibai had not returned to Northern State nor headed to Xizhou, but instead, he came to his former place, Dongjie Prefecture.
After cleaning up the abandoned Dongyue Temple on the mountain, only then did he approach the area around Shuanglong River.
Upon arriving near Shuanglong River, he immediately sensed that something was amiss.
Why was the Monster Qi around Shuanglong River so dense?
Yibai deployed his Dharma Eye and saw that the place was thick with Monster Qi, mingled with numerous malevolent auras—it was clear that man-eating Demons were hiding here.
How could there be mischievous Demons in Shuanglong River?
Wasn't this place always tranquil?
After more than two hundred years, this area has indeed changed.
Yibai frowned and descended from the clouds, landing in the forest by the riverbank. Standing on a small path in the forest, he looked outward, the sound of the surging river audible.
