As the River-Defying Sect was being besieged by the three great sects of the Middle Reaches... Bai Xiaochun, Song Que and Master God-Diviner were making their way through the Deadmire, completely unaware of the war. Because of the lingering terror they felt about of the ghost galleon, they flew along as quickly as startled sparrows.
Their journey was almost over; only a few more hours, and they would be free of the Deadmire. There were so few bones down below that they were already able to see patches of dark soil.
Bai Xiaochun couldn't have been more excited. And as for Song Que and Master God-Diviner, the way they had temporarily lost their minds still had them trembling in fear.
However, as they flew along, Bai Xiaochun's face suddenly fell as... he yet again heard that singing echoing in the fog behind them!
The strange sound of it caused everyone's hair to stand on end. Song Que and Master God-Diviner nearly choked from fear.
