A group of travelers inquired with a few Loose Cultivators and learned that when they passed by the area last night, they didn't encounter any major fog.
Nor did they encounter any Evil Wraiths.
This made everyone quite puzzled, feeling as if they had the worst luck in generations.
Along the way, Chen Li thought hard about why the Evil Wraith would specifically target him,
"Could it be the rumored trial of Foundation Establishment?"
But that reason was far too far-fetched.
In the end, after much deliberation, he could only attribute it to carrying too many Evil-Breaking Talismans.
These talismans had some damaging effect on Evil Wraiths, but conversely, it was also likely that they would be loathed by more powerful Evil Wraiths.
"In the future, when in a crowd, it's better to just go with the flow," Chen mused with thoughts in his mind:
"Counting the incident during the migration, similar events have happened twice now."
