It was quite unexpected that Xiao Yu had crossed paths with the former director of White Stone Funeral Home, Snake Mother, and even Grey Master.
But judging from Xiao Yu's tone, she had merely saved her once in passing and had no other contact with her.
"Xiao Yu, do you know where White Mist Mountain is?"
I continued asking.
Although Xiao Yu guarded the Nine Corpse Tower here, she had existed for a long time. Perhaps she knew something about White Mist Mountain.
Xiao Yu shook her head slightly at my question.
"Not very clearly. But from what I learned from the Four Generals, it may be in the Qinling Mountains."
"The Qinling Mountains!"
Although the area had been narrowed down considerably, the Qinling Mountains stretched more than sixteen hundred kilometers, beginning in the west at the Kunlun Mountains and extending south through Hubei, Henan, and Anhui.
Trying to find a single mountain in such a vast expanse of land—much of it even untouched wilderness—
And from what I currently knew, that mountain was shrouded in mist all year round. Even demons that left the mountain could not find their way back, which showed just how mysterious it was.
Xiao Yu nodded faintly.
"Yes, the Qinling Mountains. But I do not know exactly where.
"The first time I learned of it was during the transition from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty.
"A great white snake demon was killed, and Demon Mountain was shaken, bringing calamity upon Kyushu.
"That was when I first learned of it. But they did not threaten the Nine Corpse Tower, so I paid them no attention..."
I was stunned again.
The transition from Qin to Han? A white snake being killed?
Why did it sound so much like the story of the Han Gaozu
