Following the conversation, someone expressed their confusion, "They've already decreased in number, and I thought it was arranged by one of you..."
"It wasn't me who planned it," said one.
"Nor I," said another.
Denials continued one after another.
Initially, when the Demonic Beasts started to decrease, nobody paid attention, but after more than a dozen went missing, people took notice—assuming it was the work of someone within their own ranks.
Turns out, it wasn't?
What a big misunderstanding!
In fact, not just them; people from the Tianxu Sect had already noticed something amiss. However, none spoke up, considering that fewer Demonic Beasts were in their favor.
Once the Nascent Soul of the beast tamer perished, the Demonic Beasts contracted to her died as well, leaving the rest incapable of posing a threat to them.
They thought the disappearance of the beasts would cease once discovered.
Little did they expect that, at the next moment, all the Demonic Beasts vanished!
