Chen had stayed at home for more than three months, not venturing out until the entire cold winter had passed and he felt there was likely no danger anymore.
Red Pillar City had become increasingly bustling.
The calamity of the demon beasts on the borderland was still unresolved and seemed to be getting worse.
The Artefact Sect endured for a long time but eventually fell. It was said that even their leader perished.
Rumors swirled throughout the city, some saying that a Nascent Soul Level demon beast had emerged deep in the forest, others claiming it was a terrifying evil wraith. Chen was unable to discern the truth, but the number of people succumbing to evil was certainly on the rise.
Fortunately, the City Defense Array inside the city had the power to vanquish evil, otherwise, things might have fallen into chaos.
