July 10th, lunar calendar.
Before the central building of the military camp beneath the feet of Divine·Witch Crow,
a group of men and women with grimy faces and tattered clothes, appearing like refugees, were driven out.
"Whew~" Lu Ran, blending in among them, took a deep breath, gazing up at the clear sky and blazing sun with a world of emotions in his heart.
There was no such thing as daylight within the Demon Cave·Evil Dog Village; the longer one stayed, the more they craved the light.
The weather gods were kind, for Rain Alley City, usually drenched in endless rain, was today clear and cloudless.
Beside him, Jiang Ruyi slowly closed her beautiful eyes and slightly tilted her face, basking in the sunlight.
A full 21 days of slaughter had finally come to an end here.
"It feels like a lot of wasted effort, doesn't it?" Lu Ran suddenly said.
"Hm?" Jiang Ruyi didn't open her eyes, still luxuriating in the warm sunshine.
