Feigning Illness

Two and a half hours later, Jiang Ping'an, Yu Lianhua, and Ziling arrived at Vengeful Sword Valley.

In broad daylight, viewed from high above, Vengeful Sword Valley had not changed much from before. It was still shrouded in a gloomy mist that formed dark clouds in the sky, blocking out the sunlight.
