Chapter 687

Chu Qinghuang followed behind the group, quietly making her way up Mount He. After all, she was unfamiliar with the surrounding terrain and did not even know where the paths were. Following the group was certainly easier than blindly heading up the mountain. Besides, given Chu Qinghuang's strength, remaining undetected by them was effortless. At first, the terrain relatively close to Mount He was quite easy to traverse. But once the ascent truly began, she found that the guards here were exceptionally strict. And this was merely at the foot of the mountain where the climb began; the defenses further up at the mid-level or the summit must be unimaginably rigorous. Chu Qinghuang followed the group all the way to the mid-level before she could no longer continue trailing them. After all, the paths they walked were guarded, while she could only move through the shadows. As the number of guards grew, continuing to follow them became impractical. By now, those people had already brought her up the mountain, saving her the time of exploring the route herself. She would simply have to continue searching quietly on her own.
