Xu Anzhang and Youu Mu, believing they already understood the depths of this locale, acted brazenly. After sneaking into the tower to avoid the watchful eyes of Shi Chun and the others, they shed all pretense and began their aggressive pursuit, quickly capturing two Divine Fires they stumbled upon.
Chu Jingtang and Fang Zicheng, unsure of what exactly was transpiring, were somewhat surprised when they saw the Divine Fires in Xu and Youu Mu's hands. However, they refrained from asking questions. Their unease in this place consumed them, leaving them with no time or inclination for inquiries. Per prior arrangements, they promptly led Xu and Youu Mu to find Wu Jinliang.
Riding the Wind Scales into the skies, Xu and Youu Mu glanced back at the islands and lands on the surface of Ice Sealed Lake. Finding no signs of activity, they shared a knowing smirk.
