The sound was a bit soft, and the street outside was quite chaotic, so Rong Zi couldn't hear it very clearly.
She leaned out of the window and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
In a small teahouse by the street, several monks were engaged in a lively discussion.
Rong Zi raised an eyebrow, took out a talisman from the Hongmeng Ring and stuck it on his body, then began to listen to the gossip while eating.
"What's going on lately? Why are people disappearing for no apparent reason?"
"Not recently."
"What?"
"I heard that the first disappearance actually happened three years ago, and in these three years, many cultivators have disappeared one after another. However, these missing cultivators were all rogue cultivators with no background, so they did not attract much attention."
"I've heard about this too. The reason it's only recently become a big deal is because more and more people are disappearing without a trace, including some scions of noble families and disciples of sects."
"This is too bizarre! How could someone just suddenly disappear like that?"
"Who knows? At first, only Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivators went missing, but now even Nascent Soul cultivators have disappeared. If someone deliberately committed this crime, it means that person's strength must have far exceeded that of the Nascent Soul stage."
"In short, everyone should be as careful as possible these days, because who knows who might be next."
"It's said that this matter has already reached the Immortal Alliance, and it won't be long before they send someone to investigate thoroughly..."
...
Rong Zi had stopped eating at some point and was quietly listening to what these people were discussing.
Human cultivators have disappeared without a trace?
And it started three years ago?
Such a serious matter must have some ulterior motive.
The people in the teahouse were still discussing it.
Some people speculated, "Do you think it's possible that this was done by demons?"
"You know what, it's actually possible. Haven't the demons been making moves and trying to provoke us for the past few years? Maybe this is another of their schemes."
"But recently the demons seem to have become much more obedient. Not only have they stopped causing trouble, they've even withdrawn a lot of their personnel here."
"Maybe this is just a smokescreen? Look, as soon as they became behaving themselves, even more of our people disappeared. There's probably a connection between these two things."
"That makes sense."
"If this was really done by the demons, we cannot let this go unpunished; we must settle the score with them!"
