For a time, the sky fell silent.
There were no enemies, no war. Every cultivator was at peace. After that figure descended, everything fell quiet.

Jiang Ding sighed softly and looked around.
Blazing Sun was gone.
He had died on the Sword Duel Battlefield three thousand years ago. In the end, that battle-hungry Great Sun sword cultivator could not keep winning and escaping forever. One day, he had vanished.
Hei Louxi was gone.
One of the most outstanding Tu Shan Maidservants from the Northern Plains era, and a descendant of a collateral branch of the Hei Clan, she had reached the upper realm and advanced to Void Refining. More than a thousand years ago, she had fallen in battle alongside the Tu Shan Maidservants under her command.
