After winding around in circles, Baili An had achieved his goal, and Fang Geyu had understood as well. Together, supporting each other, they disappeared into the snowy night.
The heavy snow was biting cold, and the Fierce Ghosts wailed sorrowfully.
Ying Xiu, watching the black shadow slowly approaching amidst the wind and snow, took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his curiosity about the Vermilion Bird coffin in the young man's hands.
His palm faced the night sky and opened, dark light and falling snow gathered in his palm, creating lines as disordered as ink and brush strokes.
The lines formed into a sword, both the sword tip and hilt wrapped in strips of dark talisman paper, like a fierce sword sealed by countless runes.
He turned to look at the Heroic Spirit woman beside him, noticing the flying blindfold beneath her black veil. His voice carried a hint of coldness, "It's not yet time for you to take action."
