It was deep into the night, the darkness spread all around, with the waterfall's roar like thunder, drenching everything in mist.
Chen Yan pondered for a moment, took out a Light Body Talisman and slapped it onto Gu Tongbing, then applied one to himself. Grabbing the collar of Gu Tongbing's robes, he picked him up, identified their direction, and headed west.

However, Chen Yan had kindly left an oil lamp, whose faint light barely illuminated the surroundings.
Yun Zhao's first reaction was to call out loudly: "Junior Brother Shanhe?"
