Amidst the towering mountains outside Qingyang City, Su Yao and her companions rode their Flying Swords, streaking across the sky like black meteors. A frigid wind howled past, cutting into their faces like blades, yet it did nothing to shake their determination to locate the lair of the Blood Fiend Sect.

The fluctuations of Spiritual Power in the air became chaotic, as if countless eyes were watching them from the shadows. "Everyone, be careful. We’ve likely entered the Blood Fiend Sect’s perimeter," Su Yao whispered, her Divine Artifact growing slightly warm in her hand, emitting a warning.
