Following the guidance of the Secret Manual of the Northwest Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends, Qi Yun transformed into a wisp of invisible Pure Qi and sped toward the nearest Earth Demon Position: Black Wind Ravine.
The manual noted that this location produced the Earth Guardian Fiend, one of the seventy-two Earth Fiends.
Its aura was pure and easy to absorb.
It was perfect for him, a newcomer to this path.
As he traveled, he passed through a desolate and remote mountain hollow.
A nauseatingly thick stench of blood, mixed with the extreme fear and resentment of mortals on the verge of death, rushed toward him like a tangible Yin Wind.
Qi Yun's brows furrowed slightly. He paused, then silently descended, landing on a hidden cliff that overlooked the entire hollow.
Before him lay a scene of utter tragedy.
The once-peaceful little village had now become a silent graveyard.
