In the ruins of the Ancient Battlefield, within the blood-red canyon, Li Wangyi, Xiao Ye, Lin Wei, and Pei He finished drinking their peach blossom wine and parted ways.
Xiao Ye remained in the Ancient Battlefield to temper his martial arts.
Pei He went to the Sword Tomb.
Lin Wei followed Li Wangyi back to Tongfu Inn.
His black coffin was still inside the inn, being watched over by Little Qianjun.
In the battlefield ruins, a setting sun hung high in the sky forever, but outside the ruins, more than half the night had passed in Spirit Turtle Town, nearing dawn—the darkest hour of the night.
Because of one upheaval after another, the town residents no longer dared to venture out at night, and ordinary out-of-town cultivators, fearing they might run into the blood-hunting squad of the Heir of the Prince of Zhennan, had gone into hiding.
The streets under the night sky were completely devoid of pedestrians.
Li Wangyi and Lin Wei walked through Ping'an Lane, leaving behind a clear sequence of footsteps.
