While Chen Tian moved toward Whispering Pine Woods, two men who were 1 km away from him followed him from behind.
Unnoticed by him, the two men had been tracking his steps since he left the sect.
Both of them were wearing dark clothing and had their faces partially covered with scarves.
"Ma Chen, are you sure it's this way?" asked one of the men in a low voice, glancing at his companion. Ma Chen nodded silently, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.
Ma Chen was a 6-foot-tall man with a muscular build, while his companion, He Hu, was slightly shorter but had a more agile frame.
"Yes, he should be arriving at the Whispering Pine Woods soon," Ma Chen replied, his voice filled with confidence.
He Hu nodded, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of movement.
They had been instructed to kill Chen Tian and bring his head back to their client.
