After the seven great factions fell and Su Yi’s influence reshaped the Azure Green Continent, he questioned A Cang about Heaven Nine’s token and asked what she planned to do next.

• The Old Man recognized the Five Mountains Town House Imperial Decree in the village’s calligraphy, saluted it, and left Grass Creek Village with Wang Ting.
