There was a village called Nanchuan seventy kilometers away from Lingzhou City.
It was now uninhabited, however, with all residents having been evacuated away half a month ago.

"Didn't Pain Star say that she controls a hundred Ferals and almost twelve hundred corpses?"
"With two rank-eights in the horned boar and Killer Star, two rank-seven Heavenly Generals in Earthen Diction and Earthen Majesty, as well as the Earthen Savage Heavenly General, how did they fail to take Lingzhou City?"
"Forget not invading it—how did they manage to disappear mysteriously? How could any of you not know whether they are dead or alive, captured or killed?"
