After Yu Xuan returned, the Vermilion Bird Clan spent vast amounts of connections, wealth, and resources before finally muddying the waters over Feng Lin's matter.
The Witch Clan found the culprit and was still hunting relentlessly, but no one knew that Yu Xuan had secretly hidden Feng Lin within a special ancient ruin where a Vermilion Bird had once dwelled.
