Passing through woods and crossing mountains, with Huo Yuhao's help, Lingyin took only two hours to reach the region where the Green Skull Organization was based.
But this was not the outcome Lingyin wanted to see, yet she could not break free of Huo Yuhao's control.
In fact, after examining Lingyin's memories, Huo Yuhao already knew how to get there. He simply did not want to toss the girl aside, so he had let her lead the way.
