Teach the Disciple, Starve the Master

Pingyin County.

Dozens of people began sweeping the surrounding area from the moment they entered the east gate, encountering various strange phenomena.

However, these strange occurrences were not particularly powerful; they were mostly the transformed remains of the ordinary citizens of Pingyin County who had been drained of their blood and flesh. Consequently, it was mostly martial artists in the Visceral Tempering realm who were responsible for cleaning up.

Several experts in the Aperture Tempering realm remained vigilant, guarding against any potential surprises.

In a place like this strange domain, clearing out the final Second Rank anomalies either required a gradual approach, eliminating all First Rank anomalies in Pingyin County to weaken the domain's power.

Or it entailed a direct confrontation with the Second Rank anomaly, challenging the entire domain head-on.
