1. Suspenseful opening: The dying woman carries half a bronze tiger talisman, and her pursuer actually uses the Huashan Chaoyang Sword Technique that has been lost for twenty years.
2. Time Dilemma: As the third hour approaches, the entire inn begins to sink, revealing the remaining structures of the Mohist family in the underground palace.
3. Identity puzzle: The face of the seriously injured woman resembles the junior sister who broke up with Feng Qingyang, but she has a tattoo of the former palace maid on her neck.
4. Swordsmanship metaphor: The final form of Dugu Nine Swords failed in the machine formation, and only the broken sword can be broken by recasting it.
When the seventh batch of assassins came through the snow, Feng Qingyang found that their wrists were all tied with faded ribbons from the Dragon Boat Festival of the year when the Huashan disciples disappeared. In a secret room in the cellar of the inn, seventeen white bones remained in a formation to defend themselves against the enemy. Each skeleton had half a copper coin embedded in its Tianling Cap.
