The Demon-Buster Valley became peaceful; no one dared to find trouble with the Fire Phoenix Army anymore!
However, the real trouble soon started. When Jiang Yi went to the new recruits' office to select more soldiers at dusk, he found that there wasn't a single person there. Besides the dearth of Demon-Killing Battle King-equivalent formidable martial artists, there wasn't even a single Battle King-equivalent.
The new recruits' camp was empty; it was evident that all the different armies had enticed all the new recruits. Furthermore, Jiang Yi realized there were men stationed around the new recruits' camp. Probably, whenever new recruits came, they were immediately taken away. Jiang Yi had wanted to do the same initially but dispelled that notion soon.
