The Wind Had Risen

According to the warrior who had, thankfully, gone to check, the front doorman's heart had been dug out while he was still alive. His soul had been devoured without him putting up a fight.

Within an hour, the door to the Royal Beast State decorated with the nine spirits of Jiuzhou had gone up in ashes and smoke. After merely a day, the second sector was wiped out.

Everyone's deaths were similar, and all those killed had their heart and soul missing. Within the Royal Beast State, the entire force in every sector was killed one by one, all in the same fashion!

Royal Beast State was a ghost town by the time news reached the other eight major states,

All nine layers of all of the nine sectors had been breached. Any survivors had fled from the Royal Beast State. They had no idea who or what had done such a terrible thing, except that it was consuming the hearts and souls of the entire region.
