Chen Han read the description of the shadowy demons and, combined with the effect of the Cloud Barrier Cauldron, began to draw some conclusions.
The Cloud Barrier Cauldron is a magical artifact. When intact, it can refine Cloud Barrier Pills that create a mist covering several miles. If an intact Cloud Barrier Cauldron self-destructs, it can produce a mist covering more than ten miles.
This function is meant to hinder and obstruct the enemy.
In the world of the Swordsmen of Shushan, cultivators fly back and forth. Even those with lower power are stronger than ordinary people, so simple mist might not have a significant impact.
However, if something like illusions appears in the mist to distract the enemies and make them unable to relax, the effect becomes much greater.
Therefore, shadowy demons might mean just that—adding such distractions while the mist covers the area.
But maybe some experimentation is required to be sure.
