Qilian Mountain was a colossal peak, steep on three sides, like a giant axe splitting the mountain, making it difficult even for powerful martial artists to climb.
Only the front was slightly inclined, forming a path up the mountain, but it was guarded by many Greenwood Outlaws atop Qilian Mountain.
These Greenwood Outlaws were not all bandits; many were desperate fugitives with numerous killings in their wake, wanted criminals by the government, and some were assassins hired by others.
They were a mixed lot of diverse origins.
Atop the mountain, like a nine-fingered hand reaching for the sky, rose nine peaks, each distinct.
Among them, the Third Peak and the Seventh Peak had weakened because of the downfall of Peak Master life-taking scythe Cai Xun and Tiger Roar in the Forest Yang Jingtian, and they were being swallowed up by the other peak masters.
Bai Ziyue, as agile as a blown poplar seed, climbed up directly from a perilously steep cliff side.
