Chapter 23: Outside the Door
Qin Heyan woke on black stone with the wind in his face.
The sky was the real sky, pale grey with dawn, and it was very cold.
Hoarfrost lay on the ledge beside him.
He heard a roar of voices, a clash of steel, and one hoarse shout that rose above the others.
"Cut now!"
Qin rolled over.
Lu Baichuan lay on his back three paces away, bare-chested, with his hair spread on the stone.
A tall man in the grey-and-gold robes of the Ninefold Gate stood over him.
He held a long jade knife point down above Lu's heart.
A line of bright red already ran across Lu's chest, a hand's width long.
Behind the Gate master stood a ring of his disciples with seal staves raised.
Beyond them, on the east side, a gray-haired man in crimson held a saber to the Gate master's neck.
He was weeping.
On the west side, Shi Wangshu stood with Frostpine's whole row behind him, his sword drawn and his beard blowing.
Every other sect crowded the ledge, silent.
