Pei Xiuyuan listened to Zhao Rongye's exhausted howls feeling a chill run through his body.
Although the Xuanjia Guards of their generation were born during the decline of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, they were indeed much stronger than during the time when the Black Mountain Demon swept through Southern Mountain.
At the very least, with Chen Zhenfu garrisoned in Southern Mountain, no demons dared to sweep through the entire region.
From the incident at Guiyuan Sword Pavilion, one could see that the Demon Cleansing Bureau still had considerable suppressive power over demons.
Once a demon appeared, it would immediately be met with the full force of the Demon Cleansing Bureau's eradication.
Thus, thinking of Zhao Rongye's times, Pei Xiuyuan also felt a trace of horror and even a bit of sympathy towards Zhao Rongye.
Han Zheng, however, listened emotionlessly, his mood unfluctuated.
