"You said the shortcut to Bazhou is the Heaven-Reaching River?"
There was a Heaven-Reaching River in this Extreme North?
Chen Mu frowned at Tang Zong.
He had spent over a year at Tangshan Courtyard, flying the Vermilion Feather Sword everywhere. He had every map within three hundred li committed to memory.
He had even listened in on places a thousand li away, yet he had never seen any great river.

Chen Mu could not help thinking of the Qiulong Fire Path.
It was an underground Lava River he had traveled through when
