Floating clouds like accumulated snow, piled on the mountain peaks.
Under the vast, clear sky of deep winter, a hawk shrieked sharply, flapping its wings as it flew by...
A lone feather spiraled down from the sky, landing on the frozen black earth of a desolate forest.
Beneath the shade of the trees, an invisible crow glanced once more in the direction of the Imperial Capital, then concealed its body entirely into the shadows, swiftly skimming low.
...
Outskirts of the Imperial Capital, Fox Kui Palace.
The setting sun lay desolate like the remnant of blood, casting a chilling light, making the scene of corpses appear cruel, bloody, and frozen.
Blood flowed everywhere, with flesh scattered all around, and heads rolled about, eyes wide open as if witnessing something incredibly horrifying before dying.
Of course, there were also many fox demon corpses.
Piling upon each other, layer upon layer.
