The emergence of the ghostly imps from Flaming Mountain, descending south to Bayan and then eastward into Qinghai, destroyed four cities and seven towns. Fortunately, they were vanquished by Master Gu.
Otherwise, whether it turned south to Sichuan or north to Longxi, the combined population of these two provinces numbers in the billions; the consequences would have been unthinkable.
Even so, the devastation wrought by this calamity is beyond measure. More importantly, the fragile nerves of the common people, who were content with their lives thus far, have been agitated once again.
Of course, these are not Gu Yu's concerns.
What he considers is the divination by Yu Lanzhu before this, that a calamity was destined for the human world! If this referred only to the ghostly imps, it would seem slightly exaggerated; if not, then what does it refer to?
Within a city in Qinghai Province.
