After leaving Biyun Peak, Ye Wuji and Shen Qianshuang first took a teleportation array to Wuye City on the northern border of the cultivating world, which was the final human settlement leading to the Far North. Xiao Hei lazily draped itself over Ye Wuji's shoulder, dozing the entire journey and only occasionally opening its eyes to glance at the surrounding environment.
True to its name, Wuye City radiated an aura of decay. Most of its residents were either cultivators who had been expelled by various sects or rogue cultivators unwilling to show their faces for various reasons; many of them had haggard faces and sinister gazes. The buildings in the city were also dilapidated and ancient, with many sections crumbling and exuding a stale odor.
"We need to find a guide," Shen Qianshuang said, her eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly. "The journey to the Far North is perilous. Without an experienced guide, it is far too easy to lose our way."
