After the end of the war, the bronze-armored soldiers, albeit exhausted, scattered themselves and searched the entire mountains for Lu Shu.
They firmly believed that the ninth Heavenly King was still alive. Maybe he was resting somewhere in the Changbai Mountains after being wounded, waiting to be rescued.
However, people knew that his chances of survival were slim, after they failed to find Lu Shu in the sword formation valley.
They searched the area inch-by-inch for three days, but no signs of Lu Shu had been found.
More precisely speaking, though, they saw a line "Death To The Trespassers" on a tree trunk beside the Ladder River. Lu Xiaoyu was sure that it was Lu Shu's handwriting.
Yet, Lu Shu must have written it during his fight with the sniping operation squad. It was unrelated to the matter at the sword formation valley.
As time went by, Lu Xiaoyu had become increasingly quiet.
