Hun Yu nodded, watching as Su Yan disappeared into the trees. Once she was out of sight, he turned his attention to the task at hand.
With a flick of his wrist, he unfurled a map, his eyes quickly scanning the markings and pinpointing the location of the village where Huang Yi was.
He calculated the distance and estimated that he could reach the village within an hour if he maintained a swift pace. Time was of the essence.
Hun Yu stowed the map back in his ring and took a deep breath. In an instant, his form flickered, and he vanished from where he stood, his figure blurring into the surrounding forest.
As he sped toward the village, Hun Yu kept his senses on high alert. The forest began to thin, and the terrain became more rugged. The towering trees gave way to rocky outcroppings and narrow mountain trails.
When he arrived at the village entrance, an eerie silence greeted him.
