Two hours later, as the sky darkened, four figures slowly appeared atop Kunlong Ridge.
The so-called Kunlong Ridge, to its left, was a steep cliff as smooth and precise as if it had been sliced open by a person, with no unevenness to be seen. Below the cliff was a downward slope with an incline of roughly thirty degrees, which would normally be ignored, but not here.
Because at the bottom of the slope was an abyss!
The slope was around twenty meters wide, which seemed spacious, yet this place was a barren land!
On the hundred or so meters of the slope, not a single plant grew; the ground was littered with rough stones, leaving almost no spot to set one's foot upon steadily.
The four people stopped in front of the slope, with none other than the Empress, who had come from the east, leading them.
"Is this Kunlong Ridge?"
Even the Empress couldn't help but frown slightly at the sight of this barren land.
