Chapter 646: The Battle of Public Opinion (Part 2)

```

Rumors about evil ghosts that prey on children quickly spread throughout the Northern Territory.

The rumors became more and more exaggerated. Some said that the Ghost Temple in the Capital was helped by the Imperial Court to snatch young children from outside the cities, while others claimed that many people in the Capital had already turned into demons and ghosts, and there were cases where parents would eat their own children in the middle of the night.

The Imperial Court had raised a force of Ghost Soldiers who fed on children. Apart from the four cities of the Capital, almost no other cities in the Central Plains had seen a ghost's shadow!

Most importantly, whether it was the Dark Moon Sect or other sects from other cities, none blocked the common people from going to the Central Plains; they only advised against it. If the people insisted, the sects would still arrange for an escort, but only up to the northern border...
