Zhao Donglou was dead. As the backbone of Yueming Palace, she knew she had to find a way forward for her sect. After a moment of hesitation, she finally spoke slowly. "The Master has passed away, but the sect elders remain. You should all return for now. Of course, if you wish to seek a different path, that is your choice as well."
With those words, she said nothing more. She walked to the corpse of Zhao Donglou and bowed deeply. Then, she ascended into the air and vanished into the moonlight. No one knew where she had gone.
