Song Wanning's heart sank.
'These human faces are so bizarre,' she thought. 'But this doesn't feel like the work of an Evil Cultivator...'
She decided to get to the bottom of this, so she found a hidden cave nearby and settled in.
After studying ancient texts, Baili Shang had crafted numerous Array Plates for Song Wanning, of all different types.
After setting up an Array Plate that provided both concealment and defense, she settled into the cave with peace of mind.
Her days passed in quiet routine, spent either cultivating, performing Alchemy, or drawing talismans.
At night, she would secretly observe the human faces, watching them transform little by little.
...
One night, six months later, Song Wanning suddenly sensed something was amiss.
Someone was outside.
She carefully concealed her aura. Still feeling uneasy, she applied several Concealing Breath Talismans before moving to the mouth of the cave to peer into the distance.
