"What is evil, and what is a spirit?"
The lights and shadows around the stage faded away, leaving behind an indescribable loneliness and desolation.
A graceful woman with features like a painting drifted down from the stage. Her water sleeves swayed lightly as her lotus steps shifted; bright and fair, she was like thin clouds veiling the moon, light and drifting like swirling wind carrying snow.
She was, astonishingly, the heroine from the opera just now!
An unshakable sorrow hung at the corners of her brows, yet a trace of mockery gleamed in her eyes. "A mere cultivator at the third layer of Qi Condensation dares to speak such grand words?"
Wang Chen found it rather interesting.
Evil Spirits in the Cultivation World were basically found in the Outer Region. Although low-level Evil Spirits such as Child Demons existed around the Yunyang Sect's Outer Mountain Gate, they did not have much impact on most cultivators' daily lives.
As for cultivator cities like Yunyang City, Evil Spirits had no place to hide at all.
The Dingyang Bell, which rang twelve times a day, together with the City Protection Array, was enough to deal with most Evil Spirits.
Even the city-stocks of the Outer Region, where Rogue Cultivators gathered, had specialized measures against Evil Spirits.
The situation in the mortal world was entirely different.
Many Evil Spirits hid among the common folk, living alongside ordinary people. Nothing seemed amiss in normal times, but then, at some unexpected moment, they would create a bloody tragedy before vanishing without a trace.
There were even Evil Nests that openly existed within cities.
Take this Marketplace, for instance. The local people had actually grown accustomed to its existence. The very thought made one's heart tremble.
And yet, there was nothing to be done about it.
