West Yan Mountain.
Veiled in mist, shrouded in clouds, the lush green forests echoed with the chirping of birds.
Ye Xuan held the map given by Xu Rongyao in his hand. Using the map, he avoided several lookout points on West Yan Mountain.
The mountain was high, over a thousand feet. Following the directions on the map, Ye Xuan had reached the halfway point up West Yan Mountain. According to the map, there should be a cave around here.
Sure enough!
Ye Xuan's cold eyes suddenly narrowed as he fixed his gaze on a cave set in the cliff face.
"Looks like Xu Rongyao's obedient son wasn't lying to me."
Ye Xuan chuckled coldly a few times, then fiercely drove his Black Blade into the mountain rock. Using the blade for support, he climbed toward the cave.
The cave was large, about ten feet high, allowing Ye Xuan to stand upright inside.
"Click!"
Ye Xuan took out a lighter, ignited it, and proceeded deeper into the cave by the light of the flame.
