Lin Bai saw the Demon Race running rampant through the city and had no choice but to admire the brilliance of their decision.
Originally, Lin Bai had thought that after their operation at the Qian family failed, they would disappear inside Arid Dragon City for a while. That time would have given the martial artists of Arid Dragon City a chance to restore the people's morale.
But what Lin Bai had never expected was that... after the Twenty-Seven Demons escaped from the Qian family, they did not disappear from Arid Dragon City. Instead, they revealed their true demonic forms and, at tremendous speed, charged toward the city's four major districts in the southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest, crazily slaughtering the innocent martial artists within.
The Qian family's operation in Arid Dragon City had been intended simply to defeat the Demon Race in the city and thereby calm the people's hearts.
