Xu Yuxiu carried Zhao Ding away, unaware of what had transpired behind her. She did not flee in a straight line toward the Great Xuan Capital, for even with her top speed, she knew she could not outrun Hun Yan, a True Inheritance Candidate Disciple of the Guling Sect—one of the Ten Great Sects. Along the way, Xu Yuxiu constantly changed direction, intentionally scattering multiple false trails to confuse any pursuers.

It was the bizarre spectacle of the sun and moon sharing the sky. Against the backdrop of the stars, the entire firmament looked as though a curtain had been torn away, clear and distinct. Seeing this, Xu Yuxiu had the fleeting illusion that this was the sky’s most authentic state.
