Jiang Qiang found refuge in a secluded valley.
Given his constant evasion of pursuers from Hutong Street, he had chosen an especially concealed hideout. Packed meticulously with illusionary arrays he'd set up, the hideout was practically invincible - a rare haven in these turbulent times.
Having interacted and corresponded with Jiang Qiang numerous times, Chen Dengming quickly found the place.
The valley was filled with ancient and newly grown trees.
Towering cliffs stood on three sides. The rugged rock walls looked as if they were cut by a knife and axed by a hatchet. The cliffs were covered with velvety mosses that seemed unaffected by winter.
Looking up from the valley floor, one could only see a tiny patch of blue sky, as fresh as a newly dyed cloth.
A lean, winding path led to the depths of the valley.
However, without the knowledge of array formation, one would easily lose their way.
