Just after the great battle ended, Li Gewen learned that Sheng Tianjing had left his post without authorization to pursue Wen Zitan. Remembering the deep enmity between the Sheng Family and the Three-Eyed Clan, and wanting to do everything in his power to resolve it, he disregarded his own injuries and set off after Wen Zitan.
Wen Zitan had originally been imprisoned by Xiao Qi in the Jinghe Gang dungeons, but during the dissolution of the gang, one of Wu Yunsheng's avatars had slipped in and rescued him. Wu Yunsheng had then brought him into the thick of the great battle, where, at the most critical moment, Wen Zitan had loosed an arrow that turned the tide.
Sheng Tianjing had just been through an exhausting battle, and pursuing Wen Zitan proved rather arduous. He flew through the sky on his iron sword while Wen Zitan sped at low altitude through the forests and mountains. The pursuit continued until dusk, yet the two had not yet crossed paths in direct combat.
