With the shattering of the Yata Mirror for Detecting Demons, the previously bright night sky once again returned to darkness.
The demons that had been locked by the brilliance of the Demon-Revealing Mirror, as if breaking free from the invisible shackles that bound them, seized this once-in-a-millennium opportunity to gasp for air and frantically escaped pursuit.
Some took advantage of the cover of night, diving into the thick thorns of deep forests and old woods or hiding in deep caves. Others, seizing the opportunity, launched counterattacks amidst the strange rocks and ravines, streams and rivers, appearing and disappearing fleetingly. Even more took advantage of the chaos to flee from Muling County.
At this moment, atop a cliff outside the county town, three figures stood prominently, all with sharp eyes fixed on the battle within the city.
They were two men and one woman.
