"Please follow me!" Shan Ke did not conceal anything from Xu Xuan, not as a gesture of thanks for saving his life, but because he thought that if the item fell into the hands of a True Cultivator, it would be in the best possible hands.
They passed through the forest and deep within the dense woods, beside a small stream, Shan Ke pointed to a dilapidated tree root and said, "It's this thing."
"What is this?" Xu Xuan was somewhat surprised. The Tai Yi Sect placed such importance on it, and Shan Ke was willing to die rather than comply; he thought it would be something well-hidden. Yet, it turned out to be a broken tree root that looked quite ordinary with nothing special about it.
The tree root seemed a bit large, about as thick as five people hugging it together. Were it not for the guidance of the two, anyone unaware would think it was just a pile of dirt.
Not to mention people from the Tai Yi Sect, even he himself would not have discovered this place.
