Chapter 573: Battle Court Mythology, Confronting Destiny

In the early morning, the sunlight cut through the smoke-filled ruins of the Imperial City, where corpses and broken walls stained with bloodstains could be seen everywhere.

Bai Sheng, covered in dust and ash, stood atop the debris, staring at the horrific scenes in all directions, his pupils trembling, unable to accept what was before him.

The city he considered the most prosperous had turned into ruins overnight, and the sight of the half-remaining mask of the sword-wielding Daoist he'd seen earlier touched him even more deeply.

"How could this happen…"

Bai Sheng muttered to himself, his voice trembling.

He felt as though he was in a nightmare, a nightmare from which he could not awaken.

He looked up into the distance, then immediately rushed down, beginning his search for Gu An, combing through bodies along the way, fighting back fear and disgust.

As the sun continued to rise, reaching high noon, he still hadn't found Gu An, his hands now covered in fresh blood.
