Amid the mountains and ravines, the mountain wind stirred the forest trees, yet not a single withered leaf fell.
The rustling of leaves colliding in the wind mingled with the roars of Ferocious Beasts and birdsong from these mountains. The sounds intertwined, sending a chill through anyone who heard them.
Two white-clad figures drifted through the wild, disordered mountains. The figure in the white dress was tall and slender, her jet-black hair swaying with her movements, her creamy-white arms resting naturally behind her back. An immortal aura floated about her, like a celestial maiden descended from the Nine Heavens.
Clad in a white Confucian Robe, Su Mo followed close behind the white-clad Mysterious Maiden. His snow-white hair streamed behind him, stirring a fragrant air of scholarly grace.
Suddenly, the Mysterious Maiden stopped short, and Su Mo promptly came to a halt beside her.
Seen from behind, the Mysterious Maiden was actually half a head taller than Su Mo.
"Kill it," the Mysterious Maiden said mildly to Su Mo beside her, pointing at a Ferocious Beast ahead that was intently watching its prey.
Su Mo looked at the savage-looking Ferocious Beast. He opened his mouth but ultimately offered no objection. Raising a hand, he conjured an insubstantial sword of Spiritual Power out of thin air.
Su Mo pointed, and the sword abruptly pierced the Ferocious Beast ahead.
Blood splattered, and the Ferocious Beast died in a single strike.
The Mysterious Maiden turned to look at Su Mo, who seemed to have something to say but held back. "Is there a problem?" she asked mildly.
"Why kill it?" Su Mo asked with a sigh.
The Mysterious Maiden turned back, looking at the Ferocious Beast Su Mo had killed. "Just do as I say. Once you've killed enough, I'll tell you."
