Village Turned City

Leaving the forest, Hui Yue maintained his silence. His vigilant blue eyes narrowed slightly as they observed everything which was happening around him, shining out in the dim light the moon cascaded down upon them.

The fields were empty. Tools were stacked up at the corner of each field. The farmers had left them there before they had retreated back into the city itself at dusk.

The city was shining with light that was visible from far away. No wall was surrounding this place; instead, there were many farmhouses on the outskirts of the city with animals resting inside the small barns.

The eerie silence would occasionally be interrupted by the sound of weak and domesticated demon beasts growling or howling into the air in response to the scent and sounds of the young people who were making their way along the dusty streets.
