One thing was clear: Feng Bao'er had no sense of direction in the mist; she only knew to keep moving forward.
However, the path soon ended. Facing the precipice, she only narrowly managed to stop herself from tumbling off the cliff. Breaking into a cold sweat, she relied on a mix of instinct and luck, deciding to turn back. But then, a second thought struck her: she couldn’t turn back. By the time she had escaped, the Six-Fingered Celestial Master had already returned. With his intellect, even if he didn't ask Shui Hen, he would surely guess what had happened. Under these circumstances, Feng Bao'er knew she was likely already a wanted woman. The area behind her was surely crawling with lackeys searching for her, and the consequences of being caught were unthinkable.
Should she jump? For a woman as frail as Feng Bao'er, that was a daunting prospect. Fortunately, she had grown up in the countryside and often climbed mountains with her grandfather to gather herbs. Over time, she had developed excellent climbing and balancing skills. After peeking over the edge, she spotted a few tree roots she could grab onto. If she could make it down this path, it wouldn't be long before she reached the main road.
