Qingyao Mountain.
A canyon.
The rugged mountain path appeared and disappeared in stretches. Wild grass grew unchecked, its vigorous scent filling the air.
Zhong Kui Jingyi and Qiao Ciguang led the way along this unfamiliar path, their hands constantly forming Magic Seals to probe their surroundings.

"There should be two people."
