The mist in the distant east dissipated, and the morning sun burst forth, awakening the slumbering Netherworld continent, yet unable to drive away the chill brought on by winter.
Riding winged horses, Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, Lin Huashan, and Yi Ning left the Huiyin Mountains in the gentle sunlight.
"It's time to part ways!" Chen Hao suddenly reined his horse and turned to Lin Huashan and Yi Ning on his left, speaking out.
"Chen Hao," Lin Huashan said with a forlorn expression, looking toward Chen Hao.
Chen Hao's lips curved into a slight smile as he said, "Huashan, I promised your parents once that I would take good care of you. But after today, you'll need to take care of yourself. Go to Qian Feng; he will look after you."
Lin Huashan's eyes immediately reddened as she said with reluctance, "Chen Hao, thank you for rescuing me. Although right now you won't believe anything I say, I really have never betrayed you."
