After eliminating the hidden evil spirits that blocked the southern route, Li Xuan and Cao Shuda didn't take the remaining ninety-odd people away. Instead, they paused briefly to understand how those individuals transformed into evil spirits. Simultaneously, they equipped the remaining ninety-odd people with some fire arrows to prevent any evil spirits from slipping out during the encirclement.
Li Xuan initially thought that those who turned into evil spirits must have done something unusual; otherwise, how could they have turned into such monsters in just over a month?
However, after Cao Shuda personally inquired, he was left stunned.
Because those people were not unusual at all; they were just like the others. Apart from being on duty, they just ate, drank, relieved themselves, and slept, without stepping into the deep mountains at all.
