Kill The Anomaly

"Senior Brother," said a young woman from the Heavenly Sword Sect, her voice soft but confident as she addressed a disciple beside her. "It seems no one is coming. They must be afraid of Senior Brother Hou and know they can't beat him."

Her gaze shifted to Hou Mengyao, who heard her words and responded with a proud tilt of his chin, flashing his perfect white teeth in a smug smile.

The disciple she spoke to nodded in agreement. "Of course. Who in the Young Generation could stand against Senior Brother Hou? This competition is as good as ours!"

At first, the fog hugged the forest floor, creating an eerie atmosphere. But then, without warning, a strong wind surged, driving the dense mist toward the cliff where they stood at an unnatural speed.

"What's going on? What is this fog?" One of the disciples asked, his voice tinged with unease.
