The killings in the Imperial City lasted all night. Amid a field of blood and ruins, Chao Mu Hall and Zhaoyu Palace were still relatively well-preserved in these flames of war.
When Ning Feiyan returned to the sleeping quarters, the dead bodies littering the small garden path outside the hall had been cleaned up by the Demon Army within the Imperial City. One could faintly discern the traces of the skirmish on the building's beams and pillars, as well as the bloodstains dried among the flowers and leaves.
The morning sun was rising, and the clouds at daybreak cast a faint, glowing haze over Mo City, making it seem like a world apart.
Ning Feiyan searched around the hall but did not find Wen Hanwei and others. She thought that those injured Taixuan disciples must have been hidden very well by the Young Sect Master. Despite the great battle, they had not exposed the slightest trace of their presence.
