Zi Luan and Wang Ping met at Xiu Yu's Dao Field, a meeting Zi Luan had intentionally arranged.
In the second year after the Shangjing City incident, the disciples of Xiu Yu's Dao Field had all departed. Most went to Hai Zhou Road, while a small number vanished without a trace.
The Dao Field now looked completely dilapidated from the outside. Weeds overran the corners of the courtyard, both inside and out. Due to neglect, most of the planted Spirit Wood Trees had withered and died. The only survivors were a dozen or so at the center of the Spirit Gathering Array, and even those had grown crooked. Their trunks were tightly bound by rings of vines that appeared to be absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Wood Trees.
