For the next two days, all was calm, with no incidents occurring.
Tan Wuyan hid himself very well; he did not leave a single trace. The people of Doomed Hall even suspected that he had left Northern Zhou since they searched Shuxi Prefecture and several towns nearby without any sign of him.
Qing Yu divided into two forms: one sat outside the Cold Palace as Xuanzhen's protector, and the other assumed the guise of the Hidden Mirror Man, operating in secret. He also occupied his old body, perpetually waiting in ambush at the villa.
On the third day, the "rabbit" truly came.
As the sun set in the west, it left behind a bloody brilliance. It was under this blood-drenched twilight sky that the enemy arrived.
The surging Blood River, as if merging with the light of the setting sun, brought a bloody glow, and that figure appeared in the sky outside the villa.
"The Blood River, rushing incessantly, crosses a thousand autumns."
