Warm spring dispelled the winter chill, and the peach blossoms at Qinghe City No. 1 High School were in full bloom, their pink petals fluttering down like snowflakes. As Su Yao strolled along the campus path, the Compass in her hand suddenly emitted a faint, incongruous hum amidst the tranquility, its needle trembling as if pulled by a mysterious force.
"Yao Yao!" Lin Yu came running from a distance, waving a wax-sealed letter. Sunlight washed over him, outlining the youthful vigor of his silhouette. "Zhao Ya is waiting for us in the club activity room. This is a classified letter sent by the Lu Family."
The three gathered in the club activity room, and Zhao Ya couldn't wait to break the seal. On the letterhead, the handwriting of Lu Family patriarch Lu Zhentian was bold and forceful: "Recently, signs of frequent activity by demonic cultivators have appeared in many places, suspected to be the remnants of the Blood Demon Temple plotting in the shadows. Furthermore, an Ancient Tome records that the Blood Demon seal is not unbreakable; every hundred years, the power of the seal weakens. Several months have now passed, and we must be vigilant against the possibility of the Blood Demon's revival."
