Wei WuXian replied, “Huh, so there’s an evil being that eats humans there?”
"So it was just an evil being?" asked Jin Zixun.
"That's easy." said Wen Chao.
"Are you sure?" asked Zizhen.
"Of course it is." answered Wen Chao.
"Coming from someone like you." mocked Jingyi.
Having heard of at least thousands of legends like this and killed at least hundreds of them with his own hands, he found it somewhat boring. The charlatan continued, his voice rising and falling, “That’s right! It is said that, in the ridge’s forest, there is a ‘man-eating castle’ with monsters that feed on the humans living inside it. The monsters will devour anyone who ventures inside it without leaving a single crumb behind. No corpses could be found—there wasn’t a single exception! It’s scary, isn’t it?”
"Then how does the charlatan know about it when everyone who goes there never returns?' asked Wei Wuxian.
"Maybe it's just an exaggerated rumour." said Jin Zixuan.
"I don't think so." said Jiang Cheng.
No wonder that Jin Ling also came here. Unable to suppress the soulconsuming goddess at Dafan Mountain, he definitely came for the monster in the Xinglu Ridge again. Wei WuXian exclaimed, “Scary indeed! But, if nothing was left behind, and no corpses could be found, how can it be known that they were eaten?”
After a pause, the charlatan answered, “Of course someone saw it.”
"What?" asked Wei Wuxian in confusion.
"Didn't he just said than no one ever escaped it." said Nie Huaisang.
"I'm getting confused." said MianMian.
Wei WuXian expressed his admiration, “But, before this, didn’t you say that anyone who ventures inside it would be devoured without any crumbs being left behind, no exception? Then, who on Earth could have started this legend? How powerful would they have to be, having lived to tell the tale after seeing this kind of scene?”
“…” The charlatan, “That’s how the legend goes. How would I know?”
"So it's just a legend? It's not real?" asked Wei Wuxian while looking at the juniors.
"We don't know about this." answered Jingyi.
Wei WuXian, “Then, do you know how many people were eaten in the Xinglu Ridge? When were they eaten? Their ages? Their gender? What their names were? Where they lived?”
The charlatan, “I don’t know.”
Wei WuXian, “Qinghe’s know-it-all? Huh?”
The charlatan picked up his basket in a fury, “The legends didn’t have this kind of information!”
"It's just a rumour." said Su She.
"I have a bad feeling about this." said Jiang Yanli.
"I don't think it's just a rumour." said Wei Wuxian.
Wei WuXian laughed, “No, no, don’t go yet. Let me ask you something else. Is the Xinglu Ridge a part of the Qinghe region? Isn’t Qinghe the Nie Sect’s area? If there really are monsters roaming around Xinglu Ridge, why are they ignoring it?”
"Yeah, why does our sect didn't do anything about it?" asked Nie Huaisang and looked at his brother.
"Da-ge, are you okay?" asked Nie Huaisang as his brother is acting strange like he is nervous while looking at the scene.
