• Nie Yun and Little Dragon emerged into a barren space, where Nie Yun recognized the dragon-shaped Dragon Breath as coming from the nine corpses that had pulled the carriage.

He discovered that experts from several major sects were searching for the fruit and suspected someone had lured them there as part of a plot with the demons.
