The carriage stopped deep in a forest. Su Yu and Leng Yuexi helped each other down from the carriage. They couldn't help but look around. All they could see for miles around were dark, dense trees and shadows, making everything they could see equally gloomy.

At this moment, an eerie wind, carrying strange howls like wolves and ghosts, swept in continuously from afar, spreading an invisible aura of death and gloom, making the two people isolated in this mysterious shadow stand out as insignificant.

Leng Yuexi stared intently at her surroundings, looking at this dark place that resembled the underworld. She wrapped her arms tightly around her shoulders, her whole body covered in cold sweat.

As Su Yu glanced back warily, she inadvertently noticed Leng Yuexi's trembling and helpless appearance. She reached out and took Leng Yuexi's wrist, implying that she should not be afraid and should just follow her.

Leng Yuexi tilted her head and looked back at him. She couldn't see his expression clearly in the darkness, but she could still feel his concern. Instantly, a warm current flowed into her heart, and the fear and anxiety she felt a moment ago gradually subsided.

Moonlight shone through the dense foliage, casting faint spots of light. In the shadowy corners behind them, several dark figures could be vaguely seen following closely behind, while another group, dressed in black robes and red armor, crouched and approached from a distance of about a hundred meters.

Meanwhile, in a place unseen by everyone, a person with an exceptionally striking figure stood in the center of a group of mysterious people in black robes and red armor. Under the faint moonlight, one could vaguely see that this person's face was exquisitely sculpted, and the red robe he wore accentuated his tall and upright figure. Even though the dazzling colors were obscured by the dark shadows, his celestial appearance still shone brightly among the crowd.

Just as the man's gaze was fixed on the figure moving forward, preparing to follow closely, a follower behind him quickly stepped forward, like a ghost, and silently knelt on the ground, saying softly, "Master, it is dark and windy at this time. Be careful of traps. It is not too late to chase after us after I go to scout ahead."

The person speaking at this moment is Xiao Mohan, who has traveled thousands of miles to Ziyan Kingdom to follow his master, Mu Beichen, in search of someone he has been searching for.

Xiao Mohan knelt before Mu Beichen, his head bowed, while warily glancing around at his sides. A faint halo of light flickered beneath the shadows of the trees, and he glanced at it. In that instant, a cold glint flashed through the dense branches like the wind!

Following the increasingly faint point of light, one could see that the person suddenly flashed, and a cold sword light descended from the sky. The direction of his landing was perfect, striking Su Yu directly above his head!

"Same as always, split into two groups!" The moment Mu Beichen finished speaking, he was already a hundred meters away from Xiao Mohan!

Despite the immense dangers and difficulties at this moment, he was perfectly clear about the situation. As long as he continued to follow Su Yu and the others, he would be able to find Yu Qianqian's hiding place tonight.

"Yu Qianqian, no matter where you are, I will find you safe and sound. You must wait for me..."

Ahead lay a deep, dark valley, with only a few figures visible, and the world shrouded in mist and black clouds.

"Snap—"

With a thunderclap that resounded through the sky, the once dark and gloomy deep forest was instantly illuminated by lightning and sword light, turning it into a blood-red light!
