Zhong Wu said, "If secrets aren't kept, they'll leak, and once they leak, we're in danger. How could we not be careful? I've already heard about Sima's situation. Sima, how could you agree to Gong Chao's proposal? I'd wager there's a trick behind it. To be frank, I got the brothers to tap into their own networks and make inquiries. Huang Kai is a great demon at the Illusory Form Second Realm. Of course, no single Second Realm demon could dominate an entire prefecture without opposition."
"And yet Huang Kai occupies Fengqi Mountain, violates the heavenly laws, and devours living people. The whole Zhongshan Prefecture can do nothing about him.

When things are this abnormal, there's bound to be a trick."
Xu Yi nodded. "I'm worried about that too. Old Zhong, have you managed to find anything out?"

Once I got the brothers on it and gathered their reports, I found plenty of stories about Huang Kai. They mainly fall into three points."
"First, he's a fearsome fighter.
