Three days passed in the blink of an eye for many people.
With the start of the Dragon and Phoenix Competition, the atmosphere in the Desolate Heaven Empire had been anything but quiet.
Excitement rippled through every city and town, and conversations about the competition had become part of daily life.
Discussing the participants' battles and placing bets on who would emerge victorious was no longer just entertainment—it was a frenzy.
Everywhere—whether in tea houses fragrant with fresh brews, bustling inns filled with traveling merchants, or even on the busy streets where hawkers shouted over the noise—people still spoke of the Dragon and Phoenix Competition.
And among all the names on people's lips, one was mentioned more than most: Nie Fengzhuo.
A dark horse who had stunned the Empire by eliminating one of the Zhao Clan's elite participants.

In those three days…
The Zhao Clan remained silent, but silence did not mean peace.
