The inn had seen bloodshed.
The Wang brothers had been slain in an instant. No one present had even seen how the killer made his move.
The news seemed to grow wings.
It spread rapidly.

Everyone in this moderately sized town—every faction and every adventurer—knew that a newcomer named "Gan Ba" had come to the Ten Thousand Ghost Forest. He acted without restraint, and his strength was unfathomable.
"His surname is Gan?"

A living person had appeared in the Ten Thousand Ghost Forest.

Extremely remote.
Most people from this realm had never even been here.
Let alone living people.
"He crossed space for no reason and came to the Ten Thousand Ghost Forest. What does he want to do?
