Unable to find a way out or explain how they had arrived, the two headed toward the city center to investigate.

Half a month later, his [Epoch Book] had made further progress, though the three escaped Chu Family members remained a threat.

• Baili Changkong said they would leave in three days, when a Supreme Elder was expected to finish forging Lu Chuan’s Epoch Blade into a Dao Tool.

Baili Changkong later explained to Wan Sanqian that the Supreme Elder was angered by the Chu Family's destruction and might target both Lu Chuan and Baili Changkong.
