Dawn had just broken within the Great Zhou Martial Saint General Mansion.
"You're telling me that Tian Quezi fled the battlefield!" Yun Bahe heard this astonishing news early in the morning.
For today's competition, Yun Bahe even brought out the armor he used on the battlefield back in the day, polishing it until it shone, ready to dazzle that little thief Tian Quezi with his brilliance.
But just as Yun Bahe was about to step out of the Martial Saint General Mansion, full of vigor and ready for the showdown, a shocking piece of news spread throughout Yujing City.
All of Yujing City shuddered.
Tian Quezi had fled the battlefield.
No, more accurately, Tian Quezi had disappeared.
Indeed, he had vanished. The Dark Crown Prince's men had searched the entire Post Qin Embassy to no avail, short of digging three feet under. Yet they found no sign of Tian Quezi.
The much-revered Post Qin Martial Saint had evaporated from the world on the eve of the battle.
