Su Yao and her companions successfully repelled the Blood Demon Palace, securing the three Spirit Orbs. The setting sun cast long shadows over their exhausted yet resolute silhouettes. After a brief rest, they all understood that gathering the Spirit Orbs was merely a crucial first step; the journey to the location of the Divine Artifact’s seal was where the true test would begin.
