The Xiaoyang race in the Northern Mountains suddenly retreated.
Scouts from the Blazing Flame Tribe headed south along the direction of the Copper Shell Ruins Market, passing through the Zhushui and entering the Qu River Basin.
Along the way, they only encountered scattered members of the Xiaoyang race and saw the old site of the Quyang Ruins Market submerged underwater.
The news returned by the scouts made Huo Chang somewhat skeptical, prompting him to send scouts south several more times.
Finally, the fact was confirmed: the Xiaoyang had indeed retreated.
The leftover members of the Xiaoyang race gathered around the Qu River line, seemingly on the verge of setting up camp.
The Quyang Ruins Market had transformed into a large lake, with traces of terrifying energy explosions on the lake shores, where earth and stone had been melted into crystals.
Some of these black and colored crystals were sent to the clan.
