The storm brewing in Kyoto did not subside just because "Gu Yuexi" had vanished.
No one could figure it out.
How could their Divine Sense, as a group of old masters, be anything but incredibly sharp?
Forget a Seventh-Grade clone—even if it were a clone created by an Emperor Realm Powerhouse, they would have instantly detected it if even a single trace of its aura felt off.
But the aura of Gu Yuexi's clone was too real—so real that even the sound of its heartbeat and flowing blood were identical to the original.
The most crucial part was...
When on earth had she escaped?
Pulling off a perfect escape right under their noses?
But, in the end, as the farce concluded,
none of that mattered anymore.
What mattered was the arrest warrant, jointly signed by the Ten Great Clans!
Or perhaps...
a kill order!
...
「Meanwhile.」
Several thousand kilometers from Kyoto, deep within a remote, old-growth forest.
Inside a naturally formed, hidden cavern.
"WHOOSH—!"
