After Gu Fan left the territory of the number three figure, various forces lost track of him. They had no clue where he had gone, and they were even more worried about what tricks Gu Fan might be playing.
Originally, the big shots of these forces thought that Gu Fan would eventually compromise, considering that he surely wouldn't stand by and watch Jie die without a rescue.
Soon, they discovered that Helen, the Xue Lang, and the other vampires had all left the city overnight. They relied on their speed, not taking roads, easily traversing mountains and ridges to evade all surveillance.
The various forces panicked, certain of one thing—that Gu Fan was planning a major move.
Three days later, the leaders of these forces received infuriating news: Gu Fan, missing for many days, along with Helen, had appeared in the ruins of Dark City and had personally driven away the people sent by various forces to guard it.
