The battle between Hu Yuan and the Red-robed Woman lasted for a full hour. The two traded blows back and forth, sword qi crisscrossing and sparks flying in all directions. When the final flicker of fire died out, the Red-robed Woman collapsed to the ground. Her veil was torn by the sword qi, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face, though her eyes were filled with lingering resentment. Hu Yuan was also completely exhausted, barely managing to stand by leaning on his sword. His chest heaved violently, and sweat soaked his clothes.
"Tell me, what kind of place is the Abyss of Buried Gods?" he asked, gasping for breath, a trace of urgency in his voice.
The woman let out a wretched laugh, one tinged with boundless desolation. Slowly, she said, "The Abyss of Buried Gods... that is the place where the ancient Demon Gods are buried! Not only are there treasures hidden there, along with legacies left behind from the great war, but it is also a Forbidden Land fraught with endless danger."
