Medicine River

After exiting the sealed world, Hou Jingshu’s group continued traveling through the maze.

They did not find anything of value, but they did find evidence of other people having already passed through. Some areas had scorch marks like a battle had taken place. Other areas had corpses strewn across the floor. It looked as though they had fallen into a trap.

Yin Wuhan led them since he was good at recognizing traps and finding sealing arrays and formations. Sometimes they would have to backtrack. Sometimes they would even run into other cultivators. While not all of those occasions ended in violence, combat was unfortunately an inevitable part of cultivation.

It had been about two days since they renewed their journey through the maze. Wu Jian could not figure out where they were. He stuck with Hou Jingshu in the middle of the pack, right behind Yin Wuhan.

No one spoke. The tension in the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
