The fox was not content to let these people go so easily, convinced that since the scent disappeared here, the people must be somewhere close by; they couldn't possibly just vanish into thin air.
With so many people disappearing all at once, even if they burrowed into the ground or flew into the sky, one would expect to see a dark shadow, right?
Having practiced cultivation for several thousand years to become a demon, the fox had encountered many strange occurrences, but an oddity like today's was a first.
All it could surmise was that those people were hiding.
The fox left behind a trace of Qi in this place, a fox demon's illusion technique; if the other party appeared, it would alert her.
She could follow the scent of these people quickly, tracking them.
The fox was not foolish; the night was deep and silent. Those people currently near wouldn't risk venturing back in the middle of the night; they would surely wait until dawn to return.
