Shanyue Region.
Shanyue sprawled across the land of Yue and Wu, with its own customs. The population scattered sparsely across the land and numbered more than ten million. The branch of the northern ridge of Li Mountain alone housed over a million people, protected by Duanmu Kui. Now that Duanmu Kui had died, the disciples of Witch Mountain either fled or joined various sects. The territory once under the care of Duanmu Kui was now divided among his four disciples, who oppressed the people and built palaces, creating a scene of turmoil.
Traveling deeper into the northern ridge, one would come upon a cave in the forest where a gigantic beast lay with fierce teeth and a body covered in pale yellow scales. The brown eyes, each the size of a human head, stared blankly into the sky, devoid of life.
"Finally slain this beast."
