A vast sea of clouds blanketed heaven and earth.

Between the mountain peaks, two figures walked silently, one after the other.

Yin Yan gazed at the slender figure ahead, her eyes dark and unreadable.

Indeed, she had nothing left to lose. If she could do something, then when they met again Under the Nine Springs someday, she could offer him a little more comfort.

Qingshan.

Yin Yan raised her head and looked toward the sea of clouds in the sky.

I met the child of your former master, this young man. He seemed to be about to do something extraordinary.

If you were still here, you would surely follow him, wouldn't you?

After all, you revered Sect Leader Qiao so deeply that you would gladly spill your liver and brains for her. Now that you are gone, I will walk this road in your stead!

"Sick Wood God Mountain." Lu Ran halted and gazed toward the southeast, where he could vaguely make out the outline of a divine mountain.

He did not dare approach too closely, because observation went both ways.

Lu Ran possessed a pair of dog eyes, while the Mountain Lord—Yinli Tiger—possessed a pair of tiger pupils!

They were no worse than Lu Ran's.

Come to think of it, the divine mountain he had seen last time had been covered from top to bottom in flowers.

There had been lotuses, roses, and ice butterflies fluttering through the air.

The divine mountain in the far distance likewise bloomed with Cimei—Ice Roses, but even more eye-catching were the towering withered trees covering its slopes.

The withered branches seemed capable of stretching on without end, densely tangled together and exuding an intense aura of decay.

From Yin Yan, Lu Ran had already learned the specific information regarding this divine mountain.
