DARK BEFORE THE DAWN
Gu Mang’s mind is slipping further into shadow, his soul fragmented and fading. Desperate to save him, Mo Xi travels to Lin’an in search of a mythical sage said to possess the power to call back lost spirits. The journey is perilous, the chances slim—but Mo Xi’s resolve burns bright, even in the face of despair.
Instead of a miracle, they find something far more haunting: Murong Chuyi and the Yue Clan, gathered for a dangerous blood ritual. Among them are familiar allies—and painful memories. As Mo Xi digs deeper, he uncovers a buried truth that threatens not only Gu Mang’s recovery, but the fragile peace holding their world together.
In Volume 6 of Remnants of Filth, love and sacrifice collide with ancient secrets, as the darkest hour approaches just before the light.
