Liu Jingwen averted her gaze and stared forward. "Let's go check it out," she said slowly. "I feel like whatever was so strange just now is up ahead."
Pei Yuan hurriedly said, "Let me go instead—"
"No. I can't let you go alone. If we're going, we go together. I'll take the lead. That's final." Without giving anyone else a chance to argue, Liu Jingwen moved to the front of the group.
Resigned, the group had no choice but to let Liu Jingwen lead them onward toward the mountain peak.
Although Wen Qingye stayed at the rear of the party, his perception of their surroundings was several times more acute than that of Liu Jingwen, who was at the very front.
Suddenly, the scene ahead gave Wen Qingye pause.
Ahead, trees were toppled, the air was thick with dust, and rubble littered the ground. Moreover, the Primordial Qi was still dense and hadn't dispersed—a clear sign that a great battle had recently taken place.
