Chapter 372

Chu Yueli’s voice seemed to linger in the valley, not yet faded, even as she herself plunged into the Stone Forest. The moment she stepped inside, a thick mist swirled before her eyes. Visibility was poor, so relying on her mastery of the Eight Trigrams formation, she traced a unique path, stepping forward with deliberate care. The deeper she ventured, the more blurred her surroundings became, until everything was obscured. After calling out a few times, she fell silent. She did not know how many assassins might be lurking outside. Once she was inside, the figure in white atop the mountain could clearly see her. If she continued to call out, it would be as if the enemy were in the light and she in the dark, making her an easy target for an ambush. Since she could not call out, she had to rely on her own intuition to navigate.
