In the Extreme North Land, atop the towering Boundless Peak, was the Sky Swallowing Palace, rivaling the heights of the heavens.
Cao Xuesheng, with his Wolf Head Mask, and Juechen, wearing a Tiger-Head Mask, stood guard outside the great hall. Inside the chilly and sinister hall, Dugu Nian leaned lazily upon the black throne, idly surveying the person standing below her.
And that person standing in the hall looked back at Dugu Nian unconcernedly, their eyes filled with a hint of bewilderment.
This person was none other than the Talent of the Scholar Sect, Yin Wuyan!
Yin Wuyan had come alone on this occasion, enduring countless hardships along the way, evading the watchful eyes of the Nine Countries, deceiving the informants of the three sects, to finally reach the heart of the Sky Swallowing Palace and meet with Dugu Nian.
The two of them just looked at each other, neither willing to speak first, as if both were waiting for the other to break the silence.
