Chapter 443: Blood Washed

Qudong City was a medium-sized city in the eastern part of the Lushan Kingdom. The population numbered about 200,000.

Due to the traffic and the river back to the mountains, the weather was smooth. People in the city had been living and working in peace. No matter what, it always seemed to be lively.

However, at this time, several of the original busy streets seemed quiet. Only a few of the shops were open.

At the gates of the city were two defenders. They were old, guarding the gates with two spears in their hands and an uneasy look on their faces.

"Elder Huang, have you heard about the rumour? Four cities recently have suddenly become ghost towns. In just one night, the residents all disappeared..." a hunchbacked guard said to his partner.

"That's impossible! Elder Lee, I heard from others that the people of the four cities were eaten by the demon!" Elder Huang looked over his shoulder in horror as he spoke.
