The night is over, Dongfang Bai.
The darkness gradually dissipates, dawn arrives, morning light bathes the earth, revealing a bloody scene.
The land is ravaged, corpses lie everywhere.
The city is in ruins, grief fills the air.
Shen Hex stands with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene before him, remaining silent.
"Teacher!"
"Sovereign!"
Zhang Xuanming, Chen Luojun, and the high-ranking officials of the Martial Country approach, and they too remain silent.
The atmosphere is heavy, the hearts are oppressed.
After a long time, a voice breaks the silence.
"Take care of the aftermath, go ahead."
"Yes!!!"
With that single command from Shen Hex, everyone disperses.
Then, he turns around and heads deep into the Forbidden Palace.
Some things inevitably lead to bloodshed, to sacrifice.
Today is no exception.
Shen Hex had long known that Shentu Yu would set this up, laying traps for him at both Rage Sea Tide and the Martial Country.
Yet he walked into the trap.
