When the Roulian's war god, Karol, died, to the west of Heaven's Moat, the fire from a round purple candle in the Roulian campground went out.
The guards who were stationed outside Karol's tent saw the candle being extinguished and widened their eyes in horror.
"Men!"
"Here."
"Notify everyone west of Heaven's Moat to retreat! Make haste!"
"Understood!"
After the Roulian cultivators and soldiers received the news of their war god's death, their morale took a huge blow. They followed their orders and retreated to Rouli. Since then, the western side of Heaven's Moat had quietened down.
...
Meanwhile, the Evil Sky Pavilion had sped across Heaven's Moat under Lu Zhou's lead.
The top of the towering Heaven's Moat could not be seen from its base. When they were halfway across, they encountered a snowstorm, and the temperature dropped drastically. The cold wind slashed at their protective energies like blades.
