Leaving that exposed and chaotic stone chamber, Fang Hao and Crimson Phoenix stepped back into the suffocating environment of the Valley of Buried Soldiers.
The surrounding churning Evil Qi seemed thicker and more restless than before, as if disturbed by the previous battle, faintly transmitting more indescribable sensations of being watched and low, mournful wails.
Crimson Phoenix continued to walk in front, the "departing fire pearl" in her hand emitting a stable crimson halo, dispelling the Evil Qi within a few feet around them and carving out a relatively safe path.
However, her pace at this moment was clearly much more cautious than before, her phoenix eyes shining with a brilliant light as she constantly scanned her surroundings, clearly guarding against things that might have been drawn by the previous commotion.
Fang Hao followed closely behind, also on full alert.
