Heyang County was where Xiao Chen had last led a team to raid the Xuan Family, unexpectedly acquiring the Wuji Spirit Soil.
After that, the sect dispatched two Outer Disciples to act as hidden lookouts for easier surveillance.
But just half a month ago, these two lookouts failed to send back their latest reports on schedule.
So, an Inner Sect Disciple was sent to investigate the situation.
But strangely, a week passed after the Inner Sect Disciple left, and he too vanished without a trace.
Considering the Xuan Family's previous dealings with demon cultivators, Mei Yong naturally suspected that Demon Cultivators were active there once more.
According to the Demon Extermination Hall's structure, Xiao Chen and Huang Haoran, as managers, could have mobilized other disciples from the hall to go with them.
Mei Yong also said he could help arrange for a Spiritual Boat.
However, after some thought, Xiao Chen chose to fly there on his sword and operate alone.
