Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's response, everyone was momentarily stunned.
"I don't understand what you mean..."
"To put it simply," Duanmu Huai said, "I found a cultist here worshipping the Evil God, creating some kind of virus and plague and attempting to spread it to other areas.

"This…"
All were rendered speechless, while the Elf Ranger furrowed her brows.
"You destroyed all the living creatures of the Lost Ground just for that?"
"Just for that?"
Upon hearing the Elf Ranger speak, Duanmu Huai turned to her with an icy gaze.
"Once the plague spills over and spreads, this world could turn into hell, with countless innocent people dying needlessly. Are you suggesting that, compared to those innocent people, the cats and dogs of the Lost Ground are more important?"
"Ugh..."
