The pair swiftly embarked on their dragon, taking full advantage of the night sky. Silently, they reached the southern edge of North Wangda Forest, guided by the jade messenger talisman. Their destination: a secluded valley.
Duan Yue couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.
In just two days, this rogue had managed to locate a secure contact point. It appeared he had already stationed operatives in a small valley, nestled some distance from their current location.
This obscure valley remained hidden on the southern fringes of North Wangda Forest. The entrance was perpetually shrouded in miasma and infested with venomous creatures, deterring all but the most daring souls.
Duan Yue's gaze shifted to a stone tablet standing sentinel at the valley's entrance. The characters "Beiwang" had weathered away, leaving only faint shadows. The tablet had clearly suffered the ravages of time, suggesting that someone had inhabited this place centuries ago.
