Ming Sui and Ning Rongrong set out on a trip and arrived at Ming Sui’s family estate near Derby City, where Uncle An told them of strange disturbances around the mine.

• Ming Sui and Ning Rongrong followed the blood river upstream and found an abandoned processing area littered with bloodstains, bones, and scraps of flesh.
• Ming Sui and Ning Rongrong traced the river downstream to a tavern, where they discovered that its only product, Bloody Mary, was made from the blood.

• Tang San learned that Ming Sui and Ning Rongrong had brought more poison and that Little Ma would come to set the poisoned river on fire.
• Tang San told Ming Sui and Ning Rongrong they should leave through the cave entrance rather than return to the river’s source.
• Tang San reasoned that the Asura God had allowed the City of Slaughter’s crisis to continue and concluded that the city should be destroyed.

After escaping the City of Slaughter, Tang San emerged physically frail and mentally shaken by the endless killings, but he had come to understand that the Asura God's role was to judge fairly rather than use violence to suppress evil. Ming Sui and Ning Rongrong arranged for him to rest, while Ming Zhen learned that Tang San had cleared the City of Slaughter and panicked over the consequences.
