According to reason, the Nascent Soul Demon Emperor was slain, and of the remaining 200,000 demon beasts, only a very small portion are Golden Core Demon Kings and Crystallization Demon Beasts, with a total count not exceeding 2,000.
Given the combat power of the four major forces, Dubhe Institute, Cyan Mountain Sect, Nine Cold Mountain, and Heaven-Facing Sect, any one of them could easily wipe out these demon beasts alone.
However, in this period of clearance, about 110,000 demon beasts still remain.
After this news spread, it quickly led to external speculation.
"Cyan Mountain Sect and Dubhe Institute are both very powerful; why haven't they been able to clean out those remaining demon beasts?"
"Yes, I'm puzzled as well."
"Could it be that there's a hidden Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, or some other obstacles?"
Two days of such discussions quickly led to an answer.
