As Xiang Chuxiong led Tian Wenguang into the Water Prison...
Outside an ordinary house in Windrise Stronghold, dark figures silently approached the foot of the wall, all wearing masks-some Ghost Masks, others Tiger Masks.
Inside the courtyard, an oil lamp still burned in one of the rooms.
In the lamplight, a slender shadow stretched across the window lattice.
Suddenly, with a whistle, an arrow pierced the window and shattered the oil lamp, instantly plunging the room into darkness.
The woman beneath the lamp only had time to cry out before falling silent.

A dense barrage of arrows rained down on the dark figure.
The figure shouted, and waves of Origin Force abruptly surged across his body.
At the same time, he swiftly drew the longsword at his waist, whirled it in intricate flourishes, and slashed at lightning speed.
A series of metallic clangs rang out as every arrow flying toward him was cut down.
But before he could catch his breath, two figures shot out of the darkness.
One wore a Ghost Mask, the other a Tiger Mask; one was small and thin, the other built like an iron tower. They were none other than Pi Hou and Du Gang.
Their timing was perfect. Just as the dark figure finished cutting down all the arrows, they struck ferociously, swinging their horizontal sabers at him from either side.
Saber light rolled and fierce winds howled like raging waves.
What they were using was the Raging Tide Blade Technique Chen Shi'an had taught them.
The man caught between their attacks was Bao Long, the traitor from Azure Sun
