Outside Mutun County.
On the road to Old Ox Mountain.
"Ah! Stay back! Stay back!"
"Wang, you son of a bitch! Why won't you leave me alone even in death?"
"Run! Go find the Demon Suppression Guard!"
"..."
Gasps, screams, and cries mingled, echoing down the road and through the forests on either side.
As Gu Zheng soared through the air, he saw hundreds of people being chased by about twenty figures. These figures were engulfed in blue and white flames, their bodies swaying. Unintelligible roars escaped their throats, their pupils were grayish-white, and a rotten stench poured from their bodies.
SWOOSH!
He descended from the sky.
Gu Zheng observed the twenty or so people up close, focusing on the blue-and-white flames covering their bodies.
SHING~
He activated his Eyes of Golden Flame, scanning each of the burning individuals.
The outer flames were platinum-white, the inner ones a deep blue.
They spread on contact, were highly aggressive, and emitted a putrid stench.
