Late at night, Mazi Lane.
The entire Yu State City was immersed in slumber, embraced by silence.
Those lingering in the pleasure boats and taverns, drunkards with staggering steps, roamed the streets and alleys, not only spewing profanities but also occasionally startled by stray cats darting out.
At the end of the alley, inside a dilapidated house.
The house was peculiarly constructed, with no windows on all sides, save for a door to the east.
At this moment, the interior was pitch black, devoid of any light.
On the ground lay a withered corpse, eerily unhuman. It emitted a faint ghostly glow, which, upon closer inspection, resembled a flickering flame.
Eerie and sinister energy!
The fiendish energy had condensed into a point, so rich and intense that it seemed like a dark flame, clearly no ordinary feat.
This was the very same corpse that had appeared on Three Temple Mountain.
Presently beside the corpse, a figure sat cross-legged.
